have theirs. So also have the kinder
gartens and the many other institu-
tons which at the same time that
they mark us as progressive
community, make life here better and
more worth living. But humanity
speaking, perhaps none of them has a
more widespread, a more permeating
influence than the band. And it is an
unconscious, impersonal influence, that
encounters in it's good work none of the
obstacles of prejudice which the 9TH
ers do. Each individual feels his right
to listen to the band is as free, un-
trammeled, and unassailable as his
right to breathe. He is beholden to no
one in any sense of obligation for fav-
Ors received, for the pleasure he has in
listening to the music of the band.
The influence of the band is like the
quality of mercy. 1t is twice blessed.
1t blesseth his that gives and him that
takes.

TEACHERS JUMP CONTRACTS.
Western Kansas School Boards Want
Certificates Revoked.

Topeka. Kan, Aug. 81. - Country
school boards in Western Kansas
have resorted to drastic measures to
retain school teachers for the coming
school year. During the past few
weeks many teachers, who had sign
ed contracts to teach at certain
schools, have jumped he contracts be-
cause they were offered more money
to teach somewhere else. Now the
boards whose contracts were jumped
want the certificates of those teach
ers revoked. Here is the law under
which they ask that action be taken:
Any certificates issued by the state
board of education, regents CT the
state normal school, county board of
examiners or city board of examiners
may be revoked by the body issuing
the same on the grounds of immoral
ity, gross neglect of duty, annulling
of written contracts with boards of
education and district boards without
the consent of majority of the board,
which is party to the contract, or for
any cause that would have justified
the Withholding thereof when the
same was granted.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 21-The removal
of the two Atlantic coast line cars
which were thrown into the river yes
terday revealed two bodies in this
car, making the number recovered
thirteen, with five bodies missing.
A majority of those injured will be
sent to their homes in a day or so.
The bodies of the dead will be for
warded to their homes tomorrow.
A careful examination of the bottom
of the river showed no more bodies
and the railroad officials are convinc-
ed that the death list is now complete,
though reports are still current of a
much heavier loss of life. 81
Norfolk. - Thirteen bodies have
been recovered to date and the death
list of the wreck on the Atlantic Coast
Line at Bruce's Station is yet far
from complete. 1t is said that a
score or so of bodies f1oated down
with the tide when the first submerg-
ed car was raised and that the other
passenger coach damned with dead
negroes is now buried in the mud of
the western branch of the Elizabeth
river. The estimates of the loss of
life range anywhere from so to rs,
and even as high as 100.

REGULATIONS AMENDED.
Secretary Wilson Makes Moderation
In Shipping Law.

Washington, Aug. 81. = Secretary
Wilson of the agricultural department
returned to Washington from Chicago
today, where he conducted an investi-
cation of complaints against the new
regulations governing the shipment of
stock under the 2S-hour law.
The secretary, in response to an in
quiry whether he will ask congress
for a modification of the law in order
to give the shippers and railroads the
relief they demand, he was inclined
to think the time limit might be ex-
tended on hauls in territory west of
the Missouri river an extension of
time is not advisable.
Later in the day the secretary made
public the following communication
from DR.. Salmon and indicated that
he had approved the changes suggest.
ed:
The secretary of agriculture:
Dear Sir:-Referring to my recon-
mendations approved by you, as print
ed in circular dated July 81, 1905, in
regard to the attitude to be taken by
the department with reference to the
2S-hour law in the matter of feeding,
resting and watering livestock in
transit, have the honor to withdraw
that recommendation and to recon-
mend that until further orders any
cars equipped with feeding and wa
tering facilities may be used for ship
ment of cattle without unloading, pro-
vided the cattle can and do receive
food and water enroute, and that the
number of cattle loaded in a car be
left to the shippers but that such
loading shall not exceed the minimum
weight as provided by the classified
ton of the transportation companies.
Very respectfully,
I'D. E. SALMON, Chief of Bureau"

so PERSONS DROWNED
An Excursion Train Plunged Through
Open Draw.
ONE HUNDRED ARE INJURED.
Engine and Coach Submerged In
Twelve Feet of Water and Every
Person in First Car Perished-En
cursionists Were Negroes.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 19.-Owing to the
inability of Engineer Z. L. Reig to con-
troll his air brakes, an excursion train
from Kingston, N. c., bound for this
city, plunged through an open draw
over the western branch of the Eliza
beth river, eight miles from Norfolk
this afternoon, and half hundred per-
sons, mostly negroes, were drowned
Up to a late hour tonight only seven
bodies had been recovered from the
wreckage. The list of injured, so far
as can be ascertained, numbers nearly
100, though most of these are slightly
hurt.
Among. the victims the only white
ones were Edward Joliffe, manager of
the excursion, and Edward Forbes,
who assisted him, both of Greenville,
N c.
The train, consisting of the engine
and six coaches, plunged through an
open draw of the bridge at Bruce sta
tain, and the engine and first coach
were submerged in twelve feet of
water, and the second coach partly
submerged. 1t is believed that every
person in the first car persisted, none
having been accounted for.
The engineer, fireman and conduc-
tor escaped.
Both the engineer and fireman dis
covered the open draw too late to
stop. The air brakes were applied
but did not work properly.
The train was bringing. some 500
people from Kingston and inter
mediate points to Norfolk for brief
stay. The wreck train was due to ar
rive at Norfolk at 1 o'clock this af-
ternoon. Following this train was
another excursion train over the same
road, bringing 300 excursionists from
Rocky Mount, N. c. Proceeding the
wrecked train there was still a,oth-
er excursion train to arrive here over
the Atlantic Coast line, this train be-
ing composed of some 800 merchants
and others from Augusta, Ca, Charles
ton, S. c., and Jacksonville, Fla,
bound to Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York for the purchase of fall
goods. This first train arrived at $50
this morning, without accident and
the Augusta, Charleston and 'Tack-
sonville merchants will all leave for
the north by water.

STEAMER BADLY DAMAGED.

Canso, N. S., Aug 21.-The cable
steamer Colonia is ashore off this port
in bad position. Attempts to float her
have failed. 1t is thought the steamer
has been badly damaged.
The Colonia left London Aug. for
the purpose of laying cable for the
Commercial Cable Company from
Canso to Waterville, Ireland, a dis
lance of 2,400 miles. She arrived off
the Nova Scotia port on August 16,
and preparations were made for land,
ing the end of the cable. Early today
the shore end of the cable was taken
ashore and the steamer was to pro-
coed eastward to Waterville, letting
out the cable as she steamed to the
other side. The new cable is to form
a part of the Commercial Gable Com
pany's system.
The Colonia is the largest cable YES
sci afioat, being of 1876 tons, gross
register. She is a twin crew vessel
and is built of steel, having been con-
structed in 1902 in Newcastle, Eng
land. The Telegraph Construction
and Maintenance Co., of London, is
the Colonia's owner. She is 487 feet
