FREIGHT TRAIN KILLS WOMAN
Mrs. Johanna Macho Struck Down
By Way Freight.
Was Walking on Track Within
Right-of-Way of Road.
No Inquest Necessary, says Coro-
ner After Examination.

Mrs. Johanna Macho was struck by
the way freight coming from the west
on the Northwestern road Monday
morning and instantly killed. The ac-
cident occurred this side of the GENE
terry some distance out of town.
It is almost impossible for trains
coming down the grade where the
accident occurred to stop and the
freight after striking the woman con-
tinne@ into the city sending the switch
engine and caboose out to care for
her. DR.. Stricken and DR.. Wicherski
were also sent to the scene of the acct
dent. but when they arrived there was
no need of physician.
The neck of the old lady was broken
and one of her legs fractured and it is
apparent that she never knew what
struck her: death must have been in
Simultaneous. Aside from slight abra-
sion on the head there was no evidence
of the body being mangled. The body
when it was struck was thrown clear of
the tracks and down the embankment,
which is quite high at that place.
She was an old woman seventy one
years, and it was her habit to walk
along the track gathering what fuel
she could and this doubtless was what
she was doing when the accident oc-
CURED. She was quite deaf and it is
supposed did not hear the warning of
the engineer. A basket crushed by the
same blow that killed her contained
some pieces of wood, seems to bear out
the theory that it was this that she was
after.
Her body was brought to the depot
and remained in the car until the ar
rival Of the coroner who proceeded
with the witnesses at once to the scene
of the accident, and as it was entirely
upon the railroad right of way and
out of the ordinary travel of the pub
lie he decided that no fault attached to
the railroad and no inquest was neces-
sary.
The body of the unfortunate old lady
was taken to the undertaking rooms
of John Forster where it was prepared
1 for burial and this morning it was
i laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery
under the sacred rites of that church

It would never do to miss Uncle
Sammie" by Charles Fleming Embree
in the June McClure's. This is one of
the most appealing Decoration Day
stories that has appeared in a long
time It makes a good point, too, for
both Confederate and Federal veter-
ans, unite in raising a tombstone to
Uncle Sammie who was called ''The
War; and on this tombstone appears
the significant legend 'The War is
Dead" Mr.. Embree who. it was pro-
phesied, had a brilliant literary future
before him unfortunately died last
spring and this may be the last of his
work published.

Today is the Both of May. a date in
the calendar Of months that has be-
come sacred to the American people.
1t serves to keep alive the memory OF
the great Civil strife which almost
divided this nation, and also to renew
the obligations the people of the coun-
try are Under to thos who gave the
last full measure of their devotion to
the cause of the union.
To the Civil war the people Of this
nation owe great debt of gratitude,
costly though it was in the treasure of
life and money, it has nevertheless left
legacy to those OF today that is an
inheritance rich beyond the measure
of value.
Patriotism never had greater votar-
les, loyalty never had more Jealous
followers and government never had
more determined guardians than fought
under the flag of the United States dur
ing the war Of the Rebellion. Though
the lesson that this struggle taught is
becoming old to some and to others
it may appear to be a useless calling
up OF those fratricidal times, yet to all
it is the one great feature of the year
the pride Of citizenship, that has It's
equal in no other way in any OF the
events Of the year.
| What the 4th of July was to the sur
vivors Of the Revolution Memoria
day is to the survivors Of the Civi
war, and what the former taught O
; heroism and patriotic loyalty to
great principal, so the latter mus
teach to all succeeding generations
: until misguided men shall open anotE

and the call ''to arms shall SCUM

15-CENT COTTON
With Reduced Acreage Decided on BY
Southern Growers.

New Orleans. Jan. ia declaration
for 15-ccEt cotton with reduction of
acreage in the form of diversification
of crops was practically settled upon by
tn" Southern Cotton Association at this
afternoons session OF the convention.
Chairman Il. Dancy. of the committee
on holding, announced that the COM
mttee had unanimously decided in ia
vol Of that proposition. The announce
mont. which was made in advance of
the presentation OF the report, evoked
cheering.
The premature announcement was
forced by advices from New York that
reports circulated there indicated &
lack Of harmony in the convention and
disSensions over the 15-cent PROPOSE
ton.
President Jordan brought the matter
before the convention. He referred to
the reports which he characterized as

agents of the Spectators"

FIRE At CLINTON.
Beams Store and Sher-
mans Blacksmith Shop
Swept AWay---TotaI Loss About
$4,000; Insurance $|400.
WatsMIIe Firemen Ready to Send Aid But
Services Not Needed.

Clinton, Me-, Jan. 12.-(SpeciaD.-
village was aroused by the ringing of
church bells. 1t was found that the
blacksmith shop situated almost in the
business center of our little village,
owned by r. e. Thompson and oc-
cupied by r. b. Sherman, was in
flames. The flames soon spread to the
grocery and dry goods store owned
and occupied by II. III. Bean & Son.
1t looked at one time as though 4
large part of the business section OF
the village must go but with the large
force of good workers which Clinton
is fortunate to have, the flames We're
stayed.
r. Is. Thompson's loss is about 5000;
no insurance. r. 3. Sherman had no
insurance and even his books We're
burned. Loss. about $1,000.
II. NJ. Beams loss is about $4,000; in
sured for $1400.
Mr.. Bean also owned a house close
by, not inhabited, that was damaged
but insured.

which was badly damaged. Mr.. Mel

but We're insured.
1t surely was a busy time for few
hours. The hall in the upper part of
Mr.. Beans store was formerly the
home of the odd Fellows for about Is
years.

known as there We're no parties STIR
ring at the time when it must have
started. 1t is presumed. however, that
1t came from the forge.
The Waterville fire department was
called soon after the fire was discOv-
cred as the people realized that if any
thing could be done to check the pro-
gress of the flames. they, with no eff
fective means available. would be
powerless to accomplish anything.
The steamer from Hose No. / of that
city was loaded upon fiat car. but
when the train was in readiness to start
word was sent that the buildings be-
ing consumed could not possibly be
saved and that the fire would not
spread any further.

TO the ownership of stock by other par
ties in the respondent companies: the
fourth to such ownership in other than
the respondent companies; the fifth to
the operations Of companies, individu-
ais and corporations other than the re-
spondent doing business both within
and without Missouri.
Mr.. Rogers, i'm his answer, sets forth
four reasons why he should not be
compelled to answer these questions,
as follows:
The first claim made is that the ques-
tons We're immaterial.
The second is that a contest regard
ing the admissibility Of the same aues-
tons is pending before the courts in
Missouri
The third reason advanced for Mr..
Rogers refusal to answer is that the
| attorney general Of Missouri has no le-
gal right to take dispositions in New
York. In other words, it is claimed
that the present investigation is lille
gal because of the fact that the uues-
tons are under considera ton in the
courts of another state.
The fourth contention is that the at
torney general of Missouri is not ask
ing the questions at issue for purposes
of public policy, but is bringing the
proceedings in order to gain advertise
ing and personal notoriety as a foe of
the Standard Oil Co.
TO support this last-named claim the
answer sets forth that the newspapers
have been fed with sensational stories
by Mr.. Hadley and his associates,
holding up Mr.. Rogers to contempt and
ridicule. 1t is further set forth that
newspaper photographers and artists
have been given a free hand at the
hearing before Commissioner SanbOrn,
causing Mr.. Rogers great annoyance

DR.. HARPER's SUCCESSOR.
Growing Feeling That President Is thu
Proper Man.

Chicago, Jan. 12-Talk of electing
President Roosevelt as the successor OF
the late President Harper at the head
of Chicago University has become
strong in university circles. 1t is de-
clared to have been one Of the hopes
Of DR.. Harper during the last months Of
his life that President Roosevelt
might take the head Of the university
at the conclusion of his presidential
term To bring this about it will be
necessary to alter the constitution of
the university which declares that only
a Baptist may be President.
1t has been decided that the final rest
ing place OF President Harper shall be
a memorial chapel to be erected on the
university campus.
