cross the tracks In. front OF their car. which
was southbound and was going swiftly
from the impetus received by running down
the viaduct. Motorman Baumgarten said
he saw that a collision could not be avoided
and rang the gong to warn the driver OF
his danger. The tracks were covered with
moisture and, though sand was applied and
the current reversed the car could not be
stopped and struck the wagon a CHANGING
blow near the front wheels.
The wagon was loaded with two tons Of
anthracite coal and the impact was some
thing terrific, Olmstead was pitched to
the street and taken to the police station in
an ambulance. The rear wheel OF the
coal wagon was broken by the force of the
blow and coal was scattered all over the
car tracks and even into the vestibule OF
the car. The colored boy was standing to
the left of the motorman and could not
get out Of the way Of the fiylng glass. The
fender Of the car was completely wrecked.
while every pane of glass In the motorman g
vestibule was smashed to bits.
Only few passengers were on the car
at the time OF the accident and they es-
capped with a severe shaking-up.
Olmstead is married and lives at 1920 Cas-
street, where he was taken as soon as his
condition would permit.

GREEDY MAY GET THE POST

FIRST of Year.
DIVISION SYSTEM TO Be ESTABLISHED
Old Department Plan VIII BE Re-
sumed, with the EstabIinhment
Also of Additional Brig
ade Posts.

1t is not yet definitely known at Depart
ment Of the Missouri headquarters who is
to command the department after January
1. The officials are all at sea regarding
the new commander, but all are looking
for some significant changes after January
], not in the matter of any particular
changes in the personnel of the department
stan, but in the general Encouragement of
departmental lines.
After January 1 the military division sys-
tenn will be abolished and the old depart
ment system resumed, with the additional
establishment of brigade posts. The posts
Of the Department of the Missouri that
are likely to be made brigade posts are
Forts Leavenworth, Riley and d. A Rus
sell. and probably Fort Meade, s. D.; Fort
Des Moines Ia, and Fort Robinson, Neb.
One of the purposes OF creating brigade
posts is to concentrate the troops in larger
bodies. abolish the smaller posts and &c
provide commands suitable to the rank Of
the brigadier generals. The departments
will naturally, therefore, become commands

OF the departments of the west will be tho

reasons for this change, ignorance and

the shock TO the system through the

BRYAN THE HERO OF A NOVEL
Woman Surrounds Nebraskan With
Halo of Romance.

New York, Aug 2S.-Wllliam eJn-
nings Bryan will come back from his
tour around the world to find himself
enshrined in the clear amber of what
aspires to be the "best seller" A
woman has novelized Bryan-Mrs.
Mary Dillon, who wrote "The Rose
of Old st. Louis."
Mrs. Dillon has selected the Ne
braskan for hero, not because she is
keen on politics, but because she finds
the career of "The Commoner" SEN
timentally appealing. 1t was her no.
tion to name the book, "The Polit-
zeal Idol" Upon advice and second
thought she called it "The Leader" "
and under that name it will be pub
lished next month.
Appropriately enough, Mr.. Bryan
appears first in fiction in a prologue
in the west at a little station called
Kentwick. Seated in the train was
John Dalton, alias William Jennings
Bryan, a "farmer lad from his rough
dress, his stoical, almost stolid pa
tience." He was on his way to a
little western college at San Carlos
Nothing escaped his observation
the silly speeches of youth, the sim
pering consciousness with which the
maidens received them with half
scorn, half admiration. He envied
the ease with which the speeches
were made"
1t is hard to believe this of Bryan
but he might have done so in pro-
logue-for at such a time che had
known nothing Of the worlds upper
stratum"
The story relates the meeting of
the hero, after spending four years
in college, with a golden haired girl
on the train. She consents to be his
mascot, and is the heroine OF the tale.
Then follows thinly veiled illusions
10 the Chicago convention of 1895,
and Bryan's subsequent opposition to
corporations.
In a conflict between a compromise
with the trusts and the white house
or principle and long wait for the
presidency, the Bryan Of fiction goes
to his mascot for advice. As a re-
suit, he defes the trusts and loses
the nomination, later announcing his
decision that he had read of the ex-
cessive wickedness Of the Standard
Oil company in Kansas City, Of which
he strangely knew nothing before.
His opponent Berkley, was nomin-
ated because Dalton would not com
promise with the trusts.
After reading telegram from
Berkley, which bears striking re-
sembance 10 the message sent by
Parker to David B. Hill at the st.
Louis convention, the Bryan in fc-
tion. with his face drawn in tense
lines, walked rapidly down the aisle
to his seat, amid an uproar Of voices
calling his name"
Doubtless there are situations in
"The Leader" that even the coquet-
ry of presidential candidates would
never endorse as being true, such o.
when John Dalton, standing under
a solitary tree for q long time with
folded arms, let the whole sea Of sor-
row roll over him, wave after wave,
billow after bilIov.,'
