The original bill as passed by the
senate prohibits the use OF passes by
state, county, city, judicial or other
officers, delegates to political conven-

There is much of the picturesque in

1t more noticeable than in the efforts
of these sons of the wood to Ameri-
,canize their proper names. Many are
the Smiths, Joneses, Johnsons and
O'Briens, but the greater part of them
cling TO the names suggested by OBJ
jects in nature. This is especially
true of those OF the full blood.
Whenever there is contested case
before the United States commission
err to settle matter OF descent ana
inheritance, these strange names ap-
pear ON the witness list and get into
the records. One. not familiar with
this condition has no idea Of the han
dicap Poor 10 has to suffer, nor the

Grated for modern uses is the start

more unquestioning belief than the

scientific demonstrations are one

SERIOUS WRECK ON
THE NICKEL PLATE

Fort, Wayne, Ind, Mar. 31.--Near
south Whitley yesterday afternoon,
several cars of an eastbound Nickel
Plate passenger train went into a
ditch, injuring 23 persons, one fatally,
Only the baggage car remained on the
track. The person fatally hurt is an I'M
known woman enroute to Cleveland
from Chicago. Her skull was fractured
and she is in dying condition. 1t is
supposed that the rails spread or the
trucks of the smoker broke down.
Engineer Samuel X. Hooper of Fort
Wayne said the train was running at
the rate of about 45 miles an hour.
The engine and baggage car passed
safely over the spot where the smolx-
er left the track. The car was
hurled so feet from the track into
ditch about half filled with water.
The day coach following was turned
crosswise of the track and the heavy
sleeper section following crashed in
to the side of the day coach, badly
wrecked it and then turned over into
the ditch. Most of the injured were
in the day coach and but few pas
sengers in the sleepers were hurt.
The injured were brought to this
city and taken to ST Joseph's hos
pital
Charles Jacobsen, travelling sales
man, who was in the wrecked day
coach, says that many of the injured
were hurt in wild scramble for the
door of the car, when women and
children were trampled under foot
Among the injured were Martha
Zurn and Frank Zurn. Sheboygan, the
unknown woman fatally hurt is sup
posed to be Mrs. c. NJ Walker of Du-
buque, Iowa Al her laundry is
marked Mrs. Cyril NJ. Walker. Her
shoes were purchased at Dubuque,
Iowa. She is very well dressed.
