To Relieve Chinese Famine.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-President
Roosevelt today issued q proclama-
ton calling on the people of the United
States to contribute funds for the re.
lief of the millions of famine sufferers
in China, who are on the verge OF
starvation. The president says he
will ask congress for authority to use
government transport vessels to carry
food to the famine stricken region.
The proclamation says:
"There is an appalling famine in
China. Throughout a district cover.
ing over 10000 square miles and sup
porting a population of Is, 0OO, 900, the
crops have been destroyed by floods.
and millions of people are on the
verge OF starvation, thousands of
dwellings have been destroyed and the
occupants are homeless.
sour people have often under sim.
liar conditions of distress in other
countries responded generously to
such appeals. Amid our Astounding
prosperity and In this holiday season
OF goodwill to man, assuredly we
should do IL part to aid the unfortu-
nate and relieve the distressed among

been allied for SO many years in

Nine Dead In Wreck.

ENDERL1N, n. D., Dec. 23.-Loaded
to it's fnll capacity with people going
to their homes in the east to spend
their Christmas holidays, the south
bound train On the 500 lire crashed
into a switch engine in the west end
OF the railroad yards at this place at
2:1O this morning. Eight men we're
killed outright, and one since has
died Of his injuries.
Twenty.seven we're seriously in.
jured, and it is likely that the death
list will be added to. All the fatal.
tiles occurred in the smoking car,
which was completely telescoped by
the baggage car, and only two Of the
occupants OF this a escaped injury.
The car was crowded, and as the
whistle had just sounded for Ender.
lin, almost everyone was on his fee,
when the crash came, and the dead
and wounded were piled into a grea,
heap with the wreckage.
A rescue party soon was formed and
the work of taking out the dead and
injured was begun at once and con.
tinued throughout the night. The lit.
tie hospital was soon crowded with
the hurt and the hotels were converted
into emergency hospitals, where the
other injured were cared for. The
wreckage took fire from the overturned
stoves used in heating the cars and
there was a ace between the rescuers
and the flames. BY almost super
human efforts the rescuing party
managed to fight off the flames until
all of the dead and injured had beer
removed from the wrecked cars, which
then we're allowed to burn.

MRS. EMANUEL SHARPE
Daughter OF Enoch and Catherine Hart, OF
Needmore, Died at Her Home in Big
Timber, Montana.

In our last issue we announced
the death of Mrs. Emanuel
Sharpe, the following particulars
have reached us IN time for press.
Mrs. Elizabeth Sharpe was the
daughter of Enoch and Catherine
Hart, of Need more, and was born
on the old home farm near there,
July Z, 1864. She was married
to Emanuel Sharp in the winter
of 1888, and will be remem bered
as one of the most beautiful young
ladies in all that section. Her
rosy cheeks and well rounded tig-
ure at that time gave promise Of
long life, and no one could have
suspected the existence of germs
which later developed into fatal
and relentless disease-the White
Plague, to which she fell a victim,
in spite of every effort on the part
of her husband and family for
her protection. A change of ch-
mate being recommended, she
was removed to Big Tim ber,
Mont, about two year S ago, but
she grew weaker steadily, until
the date of her death, March 1st.
AS her poor frail body grew weak
err, her faith in God increased and
her last words to her grief-strick-
en- family were; ''Do not fret for
me for Jesus is with US" She
had carefully arranged all details
of her funeral, having chosen her
dress and selected the hymns for
the occasion. She had lived the
life of consistent christian wife
and mother, and her death was {
most triumphant one. She was
a member of the Tonoloway (OlC
SchooD Baptist church for tel
years prior to her death. In ad
ditlon to her husband and fifteen
year old daughter Beatrice, sh'
Is survived by her aged mother
Mrs. Enoch Hart, and brother
w. F. Hart, OF Needmore, to al
of whom we extend our tenderes
sympathy.
