TERRIBLE RAILWAY WRECK.
Worst Ever Known 500, and Perhaps Worst in
History Of North Dakota Eleven Dead. Two N.
p Men Fatally Injured in Spokane Wreck

ENDERL1N, N. D., Dec. 24.-'The most
disastrous wreck ever recorded in the
history of the 500 line occurred here at
2:3o Sunday morning when passenger
train No. 1o6, east bound from the coast
to Minneapolis, collided with a switch
engine Just outside of the local railroad
Eight passengers were killed outright
and ~ injured; all were occupants of the
two forward coaches. One died shortly
after being taken to the local hospital
and two more died this morning.
The passenger was due here at HAS
and was running about Is miles an hour
when the collision occurred. A light
fog enveloped the prairie and in spite of
the fact that the country is perfectly
level and the track straight, it was i'm
possible for either of the engineers to
see the danger until too late to prevent
the disaster.
Only two out of over 80 passengers in
the smoking car escaped without injury:
The engineer of the passenger train had
Just pulled the whistle for the Enderlin
station and many passengers were in the
aisles preparing to alight when the crash
came without moments warning.
They were hurled forward and piled
in mass of dead and injured, the bag
gage car telescoping and crushing the
life out of the helpless inmates OF the
smoker.
Physicians from Valley City, Sheldon,
and other nearby towns were summoned
until twelve were at work, assisted by as
many trained nurses.
A wrecking train began the work of
clearing the track within two hours after
the accident and completed the task at
HAS Sunday morning.
The portion of the train left intact was
at once started on its way to Minneapo-
lis with several of the injured on board:
The dead have all been identified and
their bodies are now waiting disposition
by friends or relatives, most of whom
have been notified.
The following is a list of the dead:

CoRoNER's VERDICT.
1t came out in the coroner's inquest
into the 500 wreck that James Walsh,
flagman, had been in the employ of the
500 road for only three weeks, but that
he had tagged trains before. At the
conclusion of the testimony, the cor
oner's jury returned verdict holding
the freight train crew responsible for the
wreck and passing severe censure upon
the 500 road for its alleged negligence
in placing inexperienced men in posi-
tions where their failure to perform their
work properly had resulted in large
loss of life.
The engineers and hremen of both en-
gines saw the danger in time and
jumped, none of them being injured.
The mail clerk and baggage men were
not seriously injured and none of the
train crew was hurt Both of the engines
were wrecked but none Of the coaches
except the mail and baggage cars.
Enderlin, about 50 miles southwest of
Fargo, is the division point for the Min
nesota division and the superintendent
lives there. Being large point, all the
facilities were at hand for giving aid to
the injured and clearing the wreck. DR..
Gerrish, the company physician, has a
private hospital there, and the company
hotel accommodated other injured.
WRECK AT SPOKANE.

North Coast Limited, east bound, on the
Northern Pacific, ran into an open switch
at Spokane the afternoon of Dec. "a.
The engine and baggage car were
ditched. None of the passengers was
seriously injured. :.
G.. B Smith, fireman on the limited
and Duncan Mathewson, travelling en-
gineer were fatally injured. Albert ]
Casey, mail clerk, was injured but viii

In speaking of the recent investigation
by the interstate commerce commission
of the car shortage in the Northwest
Commissioner Harlan said:
$50 vast, diverse and multitudinous
have been the issues raised in this invest
igation and SO widespreading and COM
prehensive the information gathered,
that it is difficult in word to say just
what impression | have received. To
my mind, however, the one thing that
has appealed most and still stands as pre-
dominant thought is the wonderful pow
er and importance Of this country north
and west of Minneapolis considered COM
mercially with reference to the United
States as whole
This is the country, it seems to .ae,
that is going to do things from now on.
The investigation has presented pam
oramic view of its resources, its people,
its wealth and possibilities, that has made
deep impression upon my mind.
shall carry away conviction that this part
OF the country must be looked to for
great things in the future.
"The investigation on the whole has
been beyond all expectations in develop
ing facts of importance. 1t would have
been unfortunate, indeed, had we not
come here when we did, in view not only
OF the pressing necessity for an inquiry,
but also in view of the material gathered
that must be of great value to the COM
mission and the country as we'll, relative
to conditions in transportation, and causes
and effects of anything that interferes
with normal traffic conditions"
when the car shortage is over" he
said, ut will be found that one of the
chief causes of the trouble is that the
people responsible for the operations OF
the railroads of the country, from presi-
dents to switchman, are simply over
worked. This is evidenced by the fact
that in the Northwest all the available
side trackage is blocked with rolling
stock, where trainmen have been Obliged
to shunt it off in order that the main lines
might be kept open for such traffic as the
railroads are able to handle. Railwa,
managers find it extremely difficult t
secure the additional help that is neces
sary for their increased usiness. Thos.
already employed on the roads hav,
reached the condition through overworl
where there no longer exists the amhi
ton and incentive that should exist
The nervous tension has almost reached
the limit This condition of affairs; is 10
alone peculiar to the operation Of M!
roads. 1t exists in almost every avenu
of labor. We find it in Washington, il
the executive departments, in and abou
the senate, and in and about the house
We find it in marked degree at th
White House.

HOW DIPHTHERIA is CON-
TRACTED,

One often hears the expression, "My
child caught severe cold which de-
veloped into diphtheria," when the truth
was that the cold had simply left the
little one particularly susceptible to the
wandering diphtheria germ. When
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given
it quickly cures the cold and lessons the
danger of diphtheria or any other germ
disease being contracted. For sale by

SMALL FLASKS UNKNOWN.
But When Size Was Left Out There
Was Suddenly an Embarrass-
ment Of Bottles.

A young attorney who had been adj
mitted to the bar in Ohio, removed to
Lexington, KY, and, after the neces-
sary formalities, was granted permits
sion to practice before the courts OF
Kentucky.
In his first case before jury OF IL
Kentuckians, tried and true, he had
occasion to demonstrate point.
"Now will somebody kindly loan me
a small flask of whisky?"
No attention was paid to the re-
quest.
Twill somebody kindly allow me the
use of small flask of whislIy?" re-
peated the attorney.
The 80 spectators in the courtroom
remained at inattention, as before.
The attorney for the defense raised
on his heels and asked in loud voice:
Twill somebody please allow me to
use a small flask of whisky for mo-
ment?"
AS before there was not response.
In discontinue, the attorney once
again appealed in hasty words:
Twill somebody please loan me a
flask Of whisky?"
Immediately so hands dove into 80
rear pockets and 80 TASKS Of whisky,
all holding a full quart of bourbon,
were rendered.

the emigrants. On the Orinoco three
men and a woman were killed, six

five persons were knocked overheard

Reception Was Costly.

Mrs. Augustus Heaton, of Washing
ton, some time ago changed from the
Episcopalean to the Roman Catholic
church and by way of celebrating
the event decided to give a reception
in honor of the bishop of her diocese.
She decided, however, that her already
famous drawing-room was not suffi-
GENTLY respondent to serve as a place
of reception for the bishop who was to
come and congratulate her. There
was yet time in which to make the
room more attractive and Nine. Hea-.
ton, with true artistic taste, had
everything taken out Of the room ex-
eept the old furniture and few art
objects. The walls before had been
covered with tapestry, but that was
not enough for a reception for the
bishop. After much thought she
finally decided on drab silk wall Gov
ering. What with this and other ex-
tensive changes in the room without
the purchase of furniture Mrs. Hea-
ton got rid of $4,000.

waits for you," he said, and, signing
her to follow, led the way to the fire.
From out its circle the hunter stepped
and extended his hand, as the girl went
timidly up to him. His voice and man
ner were full of hospitable intent, and
with the simple words. You are well
come, girl" he brought low stool
near the fire, yet out of its light.
Though Lavender had dreaded meet
ing this stranger, she found tin the
calm strength of his presence-easy to
talk, and in few words told her
story. Nov, sir, you know why upon
you is thrust the shelter of helpless
woman" The old man laughed low.
"Owatoga tells me he would not have
you the 'squaw of the yellow man.
And tell me, will you, who is this yell
low MANI"
Even in this dim light he could see
that his guest flushed as she replied:
"a Spaniard, sir-one Senior Gonzaga,
to whom / am betrothed," she con-
cluded, with sudden inability to parry
truth with this man, upon whose brow
sat fearless honesty.
"And Owatoga will not have you
marry him? l see; instead, he brought
you for safe-keepng to the old man OF
the woods Owatoga and have been
friends for many weeks; you see, we
both love the forest, and in our ram
blings have often met"
Then he turned to the Indian, who
sat by, grim and satisfied: And what
is the old man to do with herr"

SHAKESPEARE SHOWN UP.
Western Critic Dilates in Characters,
tic Phrase Upon the Bard's
Shortcomings.

The following is a criticism Of
Hamlet" by a critic out west:
There is too much Ginning in the
piece. The author is behind the times,
and appears to forget that what we
want nowadays is hairraising situa-
lions and detectives.
''In the hands of a skillful play
wright a detective would have been
put upon the track of Hamlet's I'M
Gle, and the old man would have been
hunted down in a manner thai would
have excited the audience out of their
No. lis.
1.-THE moral of the piece is not good.
The scene where Hamlet cheeks his
mother is very bad example to the
rising generation, and it is not i'm
proved when the dreary old ghost
comes in and blows him up.
"Our advice to the author is lit
tie more action, little more fine senti-
ment. and fair share of variety BUSH
ness in his next piece. In the speciality
arts of the play scene he has entirely
missed his opportunities"

NEGRO TROOPS MUST GO
President Refuses to Rescind Order
For Dismissal.
New Facts would Alone BE Sufficient
to Cause the Executive to Sus-
pend the Discharge.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The war de,
partment issued the following state
ment Wednesday concerning the me-
gro troops ordered dismissed at Fort
| Reno:
I'm the matter of the order dis
charging the enlisted men of three
companies of the Twenty-fifth in
fantry issued by the president, appli-
cation was presented to the secretary
of war by number of persons of
standing asking for rehearing by
the president on the ground on
which the action was taken. The Sec
rotary telegraphed the president of
the application and delayed the pro-
ceedings of the discharge until the
president could indicate his wishes.
The secretary was meantime called
out of town. No answer was received
from the president.
The secretary on his return did not
feel justified in further delaying the
execution of the order of discharge,
especially in view of the fact that
the secretary then learned that the
president had fully and ethaustively
considered the argument against the or.
der of the persons who now applied
for rehearing. Accordingly the
secretary directed, Tuesday that the
proceedings for discharge be con-
tinued without delay"
Later in the day Secretary Taft re-
ceived a dispatch from President
Roosevelt and issued the following
additional statement:
"a telegram was received from the
president at II o'clock Wednesday af-
ter the previous statement was given
out at the war department, in which
he declines to suspend the discharge
unless there are new facts of such
importance as to warrant cabling him.
He states that the action was taken
after deliberation and that the only
matter to which he can pay heed is
the presentation of facts showing the
official reports to be in whole or in
part untrue, or clearly eXculpatins
some individual If any such facts
later appear he can act as he deems
advisable but thus far nothing has
been introduced to warrant the sus-
pension of the order and he directs
that it be executed"

Lavender climbed into the seat to
await the return of Gonzaga, who had
taken the horse to drink from the hol-

Alone and unobserved, Lavender drew
the slip of paper from the little black

tears which dimmed the scrawling
characters she read the words:
"She will be there; she needs you;

the fox took refuge in a brewhouse,
