WRECK ON
NORTHWESTERN,
ONLY ONE PASSENGER INJURED.
A Broken Wheel Causes two Freight
Cars to Jump the Track and Pile
4 Things up Generally.

Monday morning when the North
Western train which is due TO arrive
in Audubon at about nine O'Clock In
the morning was about three quarters
of "a mile from town, running along
at moderate speed, the train crew
consisting Of conductor ID. j. Telling
ham, baggageman John Holland,
engineer II. s. Bailey, Fireman j. III.
Schulse, and brakemen j. w
Peacock and Thomas Suler, first
heard grating sound: then there was
mighty crash: the occupants of the
baggage car and coach were thrown
violently forward in their seats and
as soon as they regained their
equilibrium, rushed out to see what
the matter was and terrible sight
met their eyes. The coach and
baggage car remained upon the rails,
but the trucks OF the baggage were
piled up underneath, one set OF
wheels being thrown clear from under
the car and TO the east side; the next
was freight car and this one was
pitched headlong to the west side OF
the track and the wheels all torn from
under it; the next was a freight car
and instead of standing north and
south, as the coach was, this one was
turned around facing east and west:
an iron rail was torn up and iammsl
a hole clear through the east end Of
the car among the freight then there
was one more freight car and the
engine, but these remained on the
track and were not in the least in
jured. The section men Immediately
went to the scene and lent all the aid
they could until the wrecking train
and crew came down from Boone and
soon the track was cleared, but the
men continued To work until some
where near eight O'Clock that evening
when they succeeded in getting the
track, which had been bent and
twisted in curious manner, straight
tened out and train could pass.
Fortunately the only one injured in
the wreck Yves baggageman John
Holland, who resides at Carroll, and
he received but slight wound under
the chin. The rest of the train crew
reside at Manning and were able for
duty the next day when trains ran on
schedule time. Although the North
Western ran trains all day Monday,
hauling passengers up to the wreck
in box cars; then they walked around
IL, got onto the train which came
down from Manning and proceeded
on their journey.

TRIP TO THE SOUTH.
Mr.. Brown Makes Visit to the Bat
tlefields ofvicksburg and Shiloh.

Mr.. A. Ii. Brown has returned from
his trip to the south where he went to
attend the dedication OF the Illinois
monument on the battlefield of Vicks-
burg, and to visit the field at Shiloh
where he participated. On his way
down he stopped at Memphis and ran
out to Corinth, Miss. which is the
nearest point to Shiloh, about twenty
miles. He was able TO locate the
camp of his regiment, and then said
to the driver, "If the two trenches in
which helped to bury the dead are
right down yonder against the hill
then | am absolutely sure tfrat this is
our old camp. An investigation
showed he was correct The bodies
of the seventy Union men who had
been laid in one trench had been re-
moved to the National Cemetery, and
a nice stone wall had been built around
the trench in which one hundrad forty
three Confederates had been buried.
Mr.. Brown was especially interested
in the Illinois monumet because he be-
longed to one OF its regiments. 1t is o
splendid affair having cost the sum
of 5000, 900. In it are inscribed thirty
six thousand names OF the men who
participated in the siege of that city.
Mr.. Brown himself was not with his
regiment at that time from the fact
that he had been wounded on May
%, at the battle Of Champion Hill
and was then in the hospital. But one
of his brothers who belonged to the
same regiment was there all through
and at the time of the surrender on
the Fourth of July, 1868. He still
lives at the age of 80, down in Powe-
shiek county. The old Shirley house
in which Grant had his headquarters,
and near to the tree under which he
and Gen. Pemberton agreed to the
terms of surrender, has been restored
to its former appearance since the
territory has become National Park.
This was the first visit made by Mr..
Brown since he left there forty one
years ago, but it revived old memories
of scenes and incidents as though
they had occurred but yesterday.

coon RAPIDS ENTERPRISE

Now that election is over all can
breathe easier. There was great job
done Of saving the state No doubt it
would have gone-to the dogs had not
about every voter taken an intense in
tsrest and thus prevented the dishon-
est and corrupt opposition getting
control The republican party first
tried To save the state from the mis-
rule OF the other faction, and later
took up the Job of preventing the bad
men in the democratic party from
scuttling the ship of state. The dan
ger of dreadful consequences having
passed and the state saved (?) We
should all he happy. But two years
from now the same or similar hippo
drome performances will be gone
through with again. 1t is wonder
full state. and nation that can endure
year after year such political erup-
tions and upheavals.

DUNLAP REPoRTER.

Well, its over! The much talked of
and expected is thing of the past.
Some were elected and some were nee
essarily defeated. But We are all
alive, and that is worth something.
But there is no pining over the results
and the beauty of it is the fellows who
went down to defeat are broad enough
to take it like men. And that is the
way TO do it. When we are defeated let
us lie down and not howl our heads
off because it happened to go against
us. When man goes into politics
that's what he shouldexpect, anyway:
and the man who figures that in ad
vance is the fellow who can take his
defeat good naturally.

pENIsoN REVIEW

TIL democrats we're well organized,
they had plenty of money and spent
it with evident effect. As usual they
made no appeal to reason. 1t was nor
the effectiveness of the democratic
campaign, however, either in the
press, on the stump or thorough or
ganization which won them the vcto-
ry. 1t was republican victory, ac-
complished by republican votes and
made possible only by men who have
received party favors in the past, who
pose as party leaders and who will
doubtless expect party preferment in
the future.

good deal to Us

W lldVS you know that
this store is headquarters for

One good evidence of the
fact is that we sell Hart,
SchaffRer & Marx clothes.
With the market full of cheap
"mercerized cotton" clothes;
with most makers OF cloth

It's worth something to you
to know that Hart Schattner

ly all-wool, and above any
cotton suspicion; and to
know that this store is the
place for them.
We can fit you perfectly

Senator Warren is a Wyoming pio-
neer, He came to Cheyenne in 1868.
when the place was a collection of
adobe houses, board shacks and tents.
Although but "a years OF, age when he
came to Wyoming, he had seen much
active life. He was born upon Il New
England farm which meant worl;
nearly all the year round with a few
brief months of school in the winter.
At fifteen he was working On a dairy
farm to pay his expenses at the Hins-
dale academy. At eighteen he trudged
south in the Civil wal as a private i'll
the 10th Massachusetts volunteer in
fantry. He was with his regiment in
numerous battles, and for voluntarily
taking part with other members of his
regiment in a ''forlorn hope" charge
at Port Hudson, he was awarded the
Congressional medal.of-honor for ex-
ceptional gallantry in battle. At 81
he was superintendent of a Massachu-
sets stock farm doing practical work
in grading, ditching, carpentering,
blacksmithing. etc.
At twenty-three he was foreman of
construction of n working party en-
gagged in building the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific railway, west from
Des Moines. Iowa. and at twenty-four
cast his lot with Wyoming, making
ii his permanent home.
During his thirty-eight years resi-
dence in Wyoming the fortunes of

ming's history. His first experience in
this direction was in 1872, when he
served the city of Cheyenne as trus-
tee. Then he was elected to the
upper house of the Territorial legis-
lature, and was again elected in 1883.
He declined the nomination as dele
gate to Congress in 1884. He was
treasurer of the territory for six
of Cheyenne. During this year he
was appointed governor of Wyoming
by President Arthur. and was remov-
ed by President Cleveland or account
of his vigorous opposition to and crit
icism of the land policy of A. j..
land office. However, he was reap
pointed by President Harrison in 1889.
and filled the office until 1890, when
he was elected governor at the first
state election in Wyoming. At the
first meeting of the Wyoming state
Legislature, Governor Warren was
elected a United States senator. serv-
ing until March 4, 1898. In 1873, he
was again elected. and at the expira-.
ton of his second term he was elected
his own successor for the term which
will exnire March 3. 1907.
In Congress Senator Warren has
been closely identified with legislation
which has been of particular benefit
to the West. As chairman of the
senate committee on irrigation, he was.
the pioneer in Congress in creating
sentiment fayoring national aid to
irrigation. and in a number of notable
speeches he aroused interest in the
subject which resulted in the present
National Irrigation Act. Senator War
rem was chairman of the committee
of Western Senators and Representa-
tives which framed the present Irriga-
ton Law, and while he has never
claimed the title of Father of Irriga-

ton" he isunqnestionably entitled to it.
During his service in Congress, Sen
ator Warren has been an untiring
worker for his state, and his con-
stituents. Due largely to his energy,
there are beautiful public buildings at
Cheyenne, Evanston and Laramie,
and buildings appropriated for or as
sured at Rawlins, Sheridan and Ian
der. The state also largely through
Senator Warren, has large and per-
manent military posts near Cheyenne
and Sheridan,
In a wider sense, Senator Warren
has performed the highest form of
service for Wyoming and other West
ern interests by standing at all times
for a tariff. to protect the livestock
and mining industries, and while he
remains in Congress those engaged
in these industries know that they
have in him n powerful champion.
In the senate. in point of continu-
Gus service. only fifteen members out
rank Senator Warren, and in commit
tee assignments, he holds higher and
more important places than any sem
ator representing any other Western
state. He Is chairman of the COM
mittee or military affairs, II of the
leading committees of the senate;
stands fifth on the committee on ap-
propriations,T which is perhaps the
most important of all senate commit
tees: is second on the irrigation COM
mittee; third on the agricultural COM
mittee, and second on the public build
ings committee.
By reason of his exceptionally good
committee assignments and his close
and pleasant relationship with his
colleagues in the senate and the presi-
den, Senator Warren is enabled to do
%herculean work for his constituents to
the admiration and envy of citizens of
other Western states not so fortunate
in their senatorial representation.
