TRAINS COLLIDE HEAD ON.
Twenty-Five Are Killed; Thirty Are
Injured, Many Seriously.

White River Junction, VT, Sept!
16.-Mistaken train orders, an early
morning mist, sharp curve on the
Concord division of the Boston e.
Maine railroad, contributed to cause
fearful headon collision between
the southbound Quebec express and a
northbound freight, yesterday morn.
ing.
From the demolished passenger
coaches of the express train were
taken twenty-five dead, among them
many women and little children and
thirty other passengers, most of them
seriously injured, many of whom
will die. Nearly all the dead in the
car were returning from the big fair
at Shellbrooke, Que.
The conductor of the freight train
was given to understand that he had
plenty of time to reach the siding by
the night operator at Canaan station,
receiving, according to the superin-
tendent of telegraph, an order from
the train dispatcher at Concord which
confused train Nos. 80 and "a.
The wreck occurred just after the
express had rounded sharp curve
to straight stretch of track, but
owing to the early morning mist
neither engineer saw the others
headlight until too late.

Brussels, Sept. 16--Dr. Henry l.
Colt of Newark, N. j., president of

Milk commissions, strongly opposed

compulsory pasteurizing of milk.
He said that to employ pasteuriza.

producer to furnish pure milk
ITO resort to compulsory pasteuri-

Aside from the band program in the

played "The Sweetest Story Ever
Told" Mr.. Fraser again played a bag

mon Weisht-Wheat and Barley Are
Better Yield.

Farmers along the Story City
branch of the Iowa Central declare
that their oat crop this year will be
the llghtest in years. w. Fl. Stlpp, of
st. Anthony who Is In the grain bus
mess, has been paying considerable at
tention to the oat situation, and has
been testing great many consign-
ments brought to his elevator. He
says that some Of the oats are so light
this season that the tester refuses to
register their weight. as they go below
twenty pounds to the bushel Last
year 1t was not at all uncommon for
oats from the same fields to average
thirty-three pounds to the bushel.
Twenty-Five pounds is the highest test
made so far this year.
A great many OF the oats around St.
Anthony, according to Mr.. Stipp. will
not exceed in weight eighteen pounds
to the bushel. "The weather this year"
said Mr.. Stipp, was just exactly wrong
for oats when the heads were filing
out. We had five days Of hot, damp
weather and these resulted in blight
ing the oats badly. In my opinion,
from what have been able to observe
SO far, oats will yield from twenty to
thirty-five bushels to the acre this
year, with most OF them around twen-
ty-five and thirty
lightest Farmer Ever Saw.
Elmer Sparrow, a farmer living west
of st. Anthony, in speaking of the oat
crop, said that he had shocked oats
ever since he was a lad of IL, and is
now 40. and this year produced the
lightest oats he had ever seem.
Wheat and Barley Good.
The wheat and barley crops along
the Story City branch are showing up
in very good shape, and will produce
good yields. Frank Houghnon, a
French farmer living south of st. An
thony, who is good wheat raiser,
has wheat this season that he con-
siders as good as he ever raised. Ed
ward Helm, living south of ST. An
thony, is another farmer who has a
lot of nice wheat, and Nose" Bryant,
living north of st. Anthony. is still
another. The wheat of these three
faGmers will go twenty five bushels.
A Nice Field Of Barley.
Sherman Brown, farmer living
north OF ST. Anthony, has thirty acres
of the best barley grown in that part
Of the county this year. 1t will easily
touch thirty bushels.
w. II. Dunn's Good Oats.
4Altho most of the oats around ST.
Anthony are of poor yield this year,
William Henry Dunn, living north Of
st. Anthony has fifty acres that will
be hard to beat for quality. Usually
the early oats do better, but Mr.. Dunn's
experience this year is that his late
oats are yielding better. He has some
that are not going to do very we'll, but
the most of his oats will go around
thirty and thirty-five bushels.
Corn Depends on Weather.
The corn along the branch depends
entirely upon the weather. 1t is doing
nicely, altho backward like all other
corn this season. With warm, dry
weather this month the corn will ma
ture rapidly, and If frosts do not come
too early there will be a fair crop
