Blunder of Railway EmplOye
Sends Scores of Immi-
grants TO Death.
Passenger Train Loaded With Refu-
gees From Revolution-stricken
Russia is Wrecked and Passen-
gers Caught Like Rats in
Trap.

Chicago. More than one-half the
passengers on an immigrant train on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad were
killed or injured In collision Mon
day between the passenger train and
freight near Woodville. Ind
One hundred and sixty.five passen-
gers were on the train, and of these
forty-seven were either killed out
right or were burned to death in the
fire which broke out I'm the wreckage
Immediately after the collision. The
names of all of the dead will probably
never be known, as forty-five of the
bodies were consumed in the flames
or were so badly burned that identi-
fication Is impossible.
Thirty-eight people were injured,
and several of these will die. Eighty
others escaped unhurt, but lost near
ly all their baggage and clothing.
The disaster was caused by blum
der of some employe of the railroad
company, but just where the blame
lies has not as yet been determined.
The passenger train, which was load
ed with Russian Jews, Servians and
Poles, all of them recent arrivals in
this country, and bound for Chicago
or places in the northwest, was the
second section of a through train
from Baltimore, which collided with
freight train, which had left the
side track after the first section
passed and started down the main
line at full speed. The two trains
came together with unslackened
speed and in the crash six passenger
coaches and several freight cars were
knocked into kindling wood and to-
gether with the locomotives went roll
ing down the ten-foot embankment.

GOVERNOR GOODING
WINS OUT IN IDAHO
Entire state Ticket Elected by Re-
publicans, While Legislature VIII
be in Line With Administration

Boise. Ida.-The majority for GOV
ernor Gooding in the state stands at
about 1000. In the southeast he ran
with the rest of the state ticket, but
in the southwest he ran behind. In
this (Ada) county he lost by 5oo,
while French carried the county py
1877. 1t is possible that the majority
on the state ticket will run 5000
more than the governor. Lansdon for
secretary of state was badly cut In
some of the southern counties, but
not enough to prevent his election
His opponent carried Ada county by
697. The state ticket generally had
about LOO, though the figures varied.
In Washington county Galloway beat
Lansdon 800 and the rest of the state
ticket got 500, excepting Stocks
lager, who got 1000.
The legislative situation stands 4S
Republicans to "a Democrats. The
Republicans have thirteen senators.

FARMERS SON SOLVES
DREAM OF INVENTORS
Takes Electricity From the Air to Fur.
nish Power for a Practical Motor
Secret Sought for Years by In
ventors.

New York.-South Dakota cities are
supplied with electric lights, the
power for which is generated by arte.
sian wells; farm machinery is run by
motors, and turbine wheels operated
Dy the gushing wells between the Mis-.
souri, and James rivers. but 1t has also
been left to South Dakota farmer to
discover that enough electricity may
be taken from the air above the buttes
to furnish the power which will run
electric lights. thrashing machines
and water pumps
Such discovery is one of the mar
vels of the electrical world and a
dream of inventors for decades, but
John II. Stranhan, son of a well-to-do
farmer near Miller, S. D., has made
the discovery, and from Sully buttes
may be seen a number of tandem box
kites, while half way to the earth on
No. 4 copper wire, hangs a strange
white box the size of beehive.
From the copper wires which de.
scend from this box enough electrical
energy is secured to run the motors
with which the Stranhan home is
lighted, feed grinder and threshing
machine operated, and a big electrical
pump which pours water into irrigat-
ing bitches.

Salt Lake City-The election Tues.
day resulted in veritable landslide
for the Republican party, which swept
everything in front of 1t. Congress.
man Howell was reelected by a plu
rality of about $4,000, while
Judge Frick is elected associate jus
tice, although he did not receive near
ly so many votes as the congressman
Congressman HowelPs plurality
over Judge Powers at the election OF
Tuesday will reach about $4,000, ap-
proximately the same figures as in
1904, when President Roosevelt head
ed the Republican ticket. In that
election there were over 100000
votes cast in Utah. OF this number
Parker for president received 35,419,
while Roosevelt received 62,446. 1t is
doubtful if the total vote this year
will reach $4,000, which will be divid
ed about as follows: Howell, 10000;
Powers, $4,000; Weir, 10000.
Two years ago Howell was given
52675, Powers 37,445, Hiles 6,796.
The seventh state legislature of
Utah will consist very largely of Re-
publicans. The state senate will be
entirely Republican. The house will
have at the outside not to exceed five
Democratic members out of the forty
five.
The Republican ticket carried Salt
Lake county by a plurality ranging
from 1900 to 1000.
The Americans carried Salt Lake
City by pluralities varying from 945
for Weir to 1892 for Pitt and 1,542 for
Tony" Jacobson, the latter two lead.
ing their ticket. The Democrats got
from $500 to 1890 votes in the city,
Judge Powers leading his ticket with
a total vote of 4,S41 in the city.
AS compared with the vote in the
city last fall, the Republicans got
2,S62 more votes than they gave
Lynch for mayor; the Democrats lost
2,9s9 as compared with the vote for
Morris, and the Americans got 1873
more than were recorded for Thomp-
son. One peculiar coincidence is that
Howell this year came within two
votes of the total vote for Morris and
Lynch last year-one a Republican.
the other a Democrat.
