NARROW ESCAPE FROM
4. FATAL Train WRECK
GREAT NORTHERN LOCAL RUNS
INTO AN OPEN SWITCH.
Fireman scalded, Passengers Bruised,
and One Car Destroyed by Flames
Switch May Have Been Tempered

Hour Before. ~ .sssse ~ .s

Dashing. into an open switch near
Maple Plain, twenty-four miles west OF
Minneapolis, Great Northern local train
No. IA, coming from Fargo, was de-
rallied at 1880 o'clock last evening and
passengers and train crew had miracu-
lous escape from death. Altho the train
was travelling at a rate of from thirty.
five to forty miles an hour, it is thought
that no fatal injuries resulted from the
accident. The smoking car was de-
stroyed by, flames, while passenger
coach, nearly filed with passengers at
the time. of the accident, was partially
consumed.
Lee Fairbanks, Minneapolis travel
ing man, was a passenger on the
wrecked train, and arrived in Mime
apohs hatless and coatless at 1880 last
night. :. 1--WE. We're moving along at a

People were scrambling thru the

when l looked ahead and saw the bag

must have been fatal accidents. An in.
vestlgation proved that aside from
scratches and bruises, all the passen-
gers had escaped injury. The fireman
was pinned under the tender and Sc
verely scalded. but the engineer, who,
with the fireman, stuck to his post,
turned on the airbrake and escaped
without a mark. A way-freight engine
from Delano came to the rescue, but it
was too late to save the smoking car.
1t was burned and the first passenger
coach, which was pulled away by The
freight engine was half destroyed.0
According to Mr.. Fairbanks, Great
Northern No. 3 coast bound, had passed
over the tracks not more than half an
hour before the accident and it is his
opinion that the switch had been lamp

train was thrown into the ditch at the
side of the tracks, but did not turn

living coat Of green, which will be 4
joy to the lovers Of nature. The Bos-
ton ivy and the Virginia creeper, two
vines known through America, cling
to walls without support, and so are
especially useful for this purpose.
The former is not as hardy as the
latter, but in the middle and south

forms a BEAUTIFUL mass against a wall.
The Virginia creeper is perfectly
hardy. 1t will hide ugly stone fences.

forming them into things of beauty.
The rapid growing Virgins Bower
is an excellent vine for a yeran1a,
giving a dense shade. 1t presents a
snowy bank Of star-shaped white flow
RS Of delightful fragrance, which last
or several weeks. A companion va
riety, Clematis coccinea, has rosf-cOl-
Ored flowers, which resemble half

The wistaria Is a good vine for a
%trellis, but Is somewhat coarse for
most verandas, being better suited for
the rustic house or pergola, where its
delightful purple flowers hang in
graceful profusion. The Crimson
Rambler rose vine is perhaps one of

IN CANDY BUSINESS
NO WASTE AS SCRAPS ARE AL
WAYS MADE USE OF.
Seasoned Corrections Considered the
Best-Maker Of the Sweets
Must Be an Ar
list.

There Is this similarity between the
candy business and the iron business
the scrap is not allowed to 90 to waste
An observer who had an Idea that
candy manufacturers must have 10
stand a lot OF loss because candles get
stale. took the trouble to investigate
and learned that his idea was wrong
says the New York sun.
The big candy makers ship TO their
agents throughout the country at stat
ed intervals, usually OF a week, their
standard CONNECTIONS, and all not sold
at the expiration OF the interval are
returned to the factory as scrap. As
the candy is mostly sugar, and sugar
is as indestructible as iron, II Is only
a question for the candy maker OF get
ting the sugar value out OF tina scrap
1t is impossible to work over the
candy in its original form, but II can
be used in many ways. For example
the chief use to which stale chocolate
are put Is in making carameIS ana otA.
err chewey CONNECTIONS.
It's a mistaken idea tnat candy mus
be fresh to be good. One manufactur
er who makes only for the trade ana
confines himself chiefly to high'cla'S
chocolates and bonbons said that candy
wasn't fit to eat until it had been sea
soned for at least ten days. For MS
own use-and he is a great lover OF
candy, despite the general belief that
no cook cares for his own messeS-he
keeps chocolates about a month before
eating them.
This man has no patience with those
who assert that colored candy Is poi
sonous. His argument Is simple AS
he puts It:
What's the use of putting poison IN
candy when natural and harmless col
oring matter costs less? Who'd put
opium in cigarettes when tobacco Is
cheaper than opium?
ITS the same way in my business,
I can turn out bonbons in any shade

around the candy business. Few OF
