INJURED IN WRECK
Freight Trains Collide At Pennock and
Fireman whitney Receives Se-
we're Injuries,

In head-on collision at Pennock
last Thursday morning between two
freight trains, Fireman Bert Whitney
was quite severely injured. He was
caught between the cab of his engine
and the tender and had his left foot
badly bruised, the right wrist frac-
tured and the thumb of the right hand
cut. The rest of the engine and train
crews escaped injuries.
The west-bound local, No. 587, in
charge of Conductor Strawn, with
Engineer Mathies at the helm, was un-
loading freight at the depot. 1t was
about 7:l5 when No. 7l6, an extra
east bound freight in charge of Con-
ductor LeSueur, wi Engineer Samp-
son at the throttle, came along, but
on account of the dense fog and the
steam the engineer failed to see the
train ahead of him and did not realize
the danger before it was too late. En-
gineer Mathies gave the customary
warning and backed up his train, but
in spite of the efforts of both crews it
was too late to avoid the accident and
both engines came together with
loud crash. Fortunately the other
members of the engine crew escaped
without an injury, but Fireman
Whitney was so located at the time of
the crash as to become caught between
the tender and cab, from which peril
Gus position he was released with
much difficulty. A switch engine and
caboose were sent up from Willmar
in all possible haste and the injured
man was taken to this city in charge
Of the railway surgeons. He was re-
moved to the county an& city hospital,
where his injuries were properly
dressed and where he was given the
best of care by the nurses in charge.
Whitney is young man, single, and
his home is at Breckenridge. He had
taken the place of the regular fireman
and this was his second trip. It was
at first reported that his injuries were
of fatal nature, but fortunately they
are not of worse nature but that he
will soon be able to be out again.
The wrecking train was sent from
Willmar and the track was soon
cleared. Both engines were badly
smashed, especially their pilots The
wrecked cars were pulled to Wil]mar
and a clear track was soon estab-
lished for the passenger trains, which
were delayed some On accouEtt =o5ff the
wreck

Adjudged insane.

Mrs. Tilda G. Hartshorn, wife of
Arthur D. Hartshorn of Minneapolis,
was examined as to her sanity in pro-
bate court last Thursday, on informa~
tion in insanity filed by her husband.
The unfortunate woman was formerly
Miss Tilda Skoglllnd, a we'll known
resident of the town of Fahlun, where
she had been spending the past few
months at her old home and from
which place she was brought to this
city for the examination. The exam
iners in lunacy were Drs G. Johnson
and w. E. MacLaughlin. She was
declared insane and committed to the
hospital at Fergus Falls, being taken
there the same afternoon by Sheriff
Bonde, accompanied by the woman's
husband. 1t was discovered later that
the patient should have been committed
to the Rochester hospital, being res
ident of Hennepin county, so the sheriff
and her husband were obliged to take
the patient to that city. This error
in the warrant of commitment resulted
in a trip that entailed little extra
expense as we'll as considerable incon-
venience.
The victim of insanity was in a par
ticularly sad condition. Besides being
impaired mentally she was physical
wreck, the lower half of her body being
in a paralyzed condition. 1t was nee
essary for the patient to be moved
about in cot and she was placed in
a baggage car on the journey. At
times she would have violent spells in
which she would attempt to destroy her
clothing with lboth her hands and
teeth. She is 33 years of age and there
are no children.

Annual Meeting of Farmers Club.


The sixth annual meeting of the Far
mers' Club of Minnesota was held at
Prendergast Hall, University Farm,
on Monday, Jan. 7.
All students who have registered in
the school of agriculture as special,
dairy or regular students, or who
have ever been members of the faculty,
are eligible to membership in this club
upon payment of the member ship fee
OF 25 cents, and by so doing they are
entitled to a copy of the year book,
which is published annually. This is
a book of about POO pages, we'll bound
IN cloth, and contains the report of
the meetings held the last year and
also the work done by the club.
The general object of the club is to
promote agriculture and get the far
mers posted on new ideas. The club
is carrying on experiments in many
counties, conducted by students of the
school or by farmers interested in the
work.
The meeting held this year
proved great success There were
about 300 present, all wide-awake and
ready to give and receive knowledge
and discuss the problems of most i'm
portance.
Mr.. Meyers of St. James discussed
the question of tile drainage, which is
a subject of so much Importance to
the farmers of this county that too
much cannot be learned about it.
Mr.. Aldrich of the American Soci-
ETY. of Equity gave an interesting talk
on how to secure profitable prices for
all farm products. A very good point
broug BIT out on that subject was that
if farmers did not all dump their crops
on the markets early in the fall and
by SO doing let the spectators play
with it the whole year, but place their
products on the markets as consumed,
a better price could he had for the
grain thruout the year.
Last year there were twenty. seven
meetings held thruout the state, with
an average attendance of about POO.
This year the club intends to hold
thirty meetings in different counties
thruOut the state.

MARRYING MARY"

The great business that has been
done by Marie Cahill in her new mu-
steal play, Marrying Mary in New
York, Philadelphia and Boston, is the
best proof that the theatrical public
knows when it is being offered an
entertainment that is worth while.
Edwin Milton Royle has done clever
work before, but it has been along
dramatic lines exclusively. Soon will
he bow TO us as the creator of as clev-
er a comedy as has been heard here in
| some time, when marrying Mary"
comes to the Keylor Grand theater,
| Thursday, Nov. 81, and the music by
| Silvic Helm is just the excellent kind
| that might be expected from the bril-
! liant young composer of molly
Moonshine. In addition to this, there
is the most of that expert lyricist, Ben
jamin Hapgood Burt.
One cannot help being entertained
by Marie Cahill, for she is without a
parallel in her line of comedy, but as
if modestly undertaking herself, she
has brought with her such an excellent
player as Eugene Cowles. The others
of her company are all splendid artists
aid then there is the much written
about Long skirted" chorus who real
ly can sing.
And surrounding it all there is that
daintiness which is now characteristic
of Cahill performance. Everything is
genteel, or perhaps a better word is
refined. The pretty comedy is as free
from suggestiveness as a mother could
WISH and yet it is as entertaining as
anything we may use i'll a long time.
Miss Cahill is wise in identifying
herself with such an excellent class of
entertainment. More and more each
season she will realize the sagacity of
her plan. Musical comedies of the
Marrying Mary class will always
have a steady following. while those
which depend on the novelties involved
will be only as good as the novelties
themselves.

FIGHT AGAINST LIQUOR
Cold Water League Busy Planning
CampaiCn.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Nov 1S.-The most
remarkable as well as the most ag-
gressive campaign ever waged by the
anti-liquor element in the United
States is now being waged from the
Prohibition national headquarters in
this city. Those at the head of the
movement are authority for the state
ment that more than half the nation is
now under Prohibition laws. and plans
are being laid to capture large part
of the territory now outside the fold
The point has been reached where it is
all but true to term the southern states
the "solid SOUTH so far as the prohib-
ition of the liquor traffic is concerned.
Statuary prohibition rules in Geor-
gia, while a majority of the counties
of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Ken
lucky. Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennes-
see and Texan are dry" In all of
these states a campaign for absolute
prohibition is actively under way and
with bright prospects for success. Sa-
looms are prohibited in two-t thirds of
Texas by local option, and in Missouri
Virginia and West Virginia there is
much dry" territory.
In the north the campaign has not
| made such pronounced progress as in
the south, but everywhere gratifying
results are reported. Prohibition rules
in Maine, North Dakota and Kansas, A
majority of the counties of Iowa and
large section of South Dakota are
under prohibition, and the same is
true Of Vermont Wisconsin is another
state in which substantial progress has
been made during the past year. OF

country in which some sort of local
option has not been adopted are New
