GREAT NORTHERN WRECK.
Westbound Oriental Limited Jumped
Track With Frightful Result.

ST. PAUL, April 15.-Great North.
ern westbound tram No. l leaving St.
Paul Sunday morning jumped the
track near DEVILS Lake, N. D., at l
o'clock this morning. According to
q statement issued at the general of.
fees of the Great Northern in this
city, a mail clerk and a number of
passengers were badly injured.
A dispatch to The Dispatch from
Lakota, N. D., says six passengers
we're killed and many injured and the
wrecked train was destroyed by fire.
The dispatch says:
'The Great Northern Oriental Lin
tied fast coast train which left St.
Paul at 10 o'clock Sunday morning
was wrecked and totally burned at 1:3O
this morning. Six persons are known
to have met death and it Is not known
how many bodies are still in the
ruins.'
The accident occurred four miles
from here, near the city of Bartlett,
within a half q mile of where the same
train was wrecked last fall. It is the
worst wreck that ever occurred in
North Dakota. The car comprising
the train were destroyed with the ex-
ception of the standard sleeper and
observ alton car. The train was rum
ming thirty miles an hour and the
cause of the accident is not known.
All the cars left the track.
Many thrilling escapes are reported
and numerous acts of heroism are told
by the survivors. The engine lies
across the line dividing Nelson and
Ramsey counties. The mail car
passed the engine and burned in
Ramsey county.
Mail Clerk Jones, Of Grand Forks,
was killed. His body was taken from
the car by Mail Clerk Foddnes, who
was himself severely burned about
the head. The train carried many
passengers. Every q except the oh.
serva alton car left the rails.
ST. PAUL, April 15.-There is said
to be some evidence that the rails had
been tempered with and the officials Of
the road say that the track in this
vicinity has been apparently in frs,
class condition and they were unable
to account for the wreck on any other
theory than that it was the deliberate
attempt of miscreants to wreck the
train.

Will Fight Two-C Cent Rate.

CHICAGO, April 13.-Passengar and
traffic officials are worrying over the
question whether they can maintain
higher rates on interstate traffic than
the sum of the local rates in the war;

portant centers must be reduced from

rates.
The interstate commerce commission
recently declared that whenever a
through rate exceeded the sum Of the
local rates made between intermediate
points, the commission would regard
it as prima facie evidence that the
through rate was excessive and un'
reasonable, and that the railroad
would be obliged to furnish proof to
the contrary to maintain such q
through rate.
Many OF the leading railway lawyers
believe the supreme court OF the
United States would not concur in the
opinion.
Some believe that the highest cour

Record of Railroad Deaths.

The remarkable showing of the
statistics of railroad accidents for the
year ending June 30, last proves that
it has not been without justification
that the people throughout the Unit
ed States have become aroused to
the necessity of more scientific rail-
roading. The figures are furnished
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and indicate that more men
and women were killed and injured
last year than ever before in the his
tory of American railroads.
The only excuse offered by the rail
roads is the old one of defective
rails. They declare that they are
willing to pay for the best rails pro-
durable, but that the best rails are
not good enough to meet the re-
quirements of present day traffic
While the railroad business has
steadily advanced, while a heavier
strain is constantly being put upon
the rails, the Improvement in rails
has practically come to standstill.
Rails that were quite adequate a de-
cade or two ago are no longer con-
sidered safe, but the railroads say
they can obtain no better.

How Indians Poison Arrows.

An old Cherokee Indian recently
gave away the secret how the In
dams of olden times used to poison
their arrowheads for war purposes, or
for killing bears. They took fresh
deer liver, fastened 1t to long pole
and then went to certain places
where they knew they would find
rattlesnakes I'm abundance. About
midday the rattlers are all out of
their dens, coiled up in the cooking
sun The bucks would poke the
first rattler they could find with the
long pole. A rattler, unlike common
snakes, always shows fight In pref
erence to escaping. The snake
would thus repeatedly strike at the
liver with its fangs until its poison
was all used up. whereupon 1t would
quit striking and try slowly to move
on. The bucks would then hunt up
another rattler and repeat the per-
formance, keeping up with the work
until the liver was well soaked with
snake poison. Then the pole was
carried home and fastened some
where in an upright position until
the liver became as dry as a bone.
The liver was then pounded to fine
powder and placed in buckskin bag,
to be used as needed for their ar
rows. This powder would stick like
glue to any moistened surface and
was death to any creature which 1t
entered on arrows.-Denver Field

MIXED ROYAL MARRIAGES.
Holy Sees Hostility to Such ALL
ances Has Become Greater.

The marriage of the Bonaparte
princess, Roman Catholic, with
Prince George of Greece, who be-
longs to the orthodox Church, is caus-
ing much discussion in aristocratic
circles. Several ecclesiastics are
reported to have declared that II the
court has always been favorable to
mixed marriages it is because that in
cases where tthe necessary dispensa-
tion has been granted the parties
have not held to the promises made
as regards educating the children in
the Roman Catholic faith. 1t is
added that two recent cases have oc-
Cured which have increased the
Holy Sees hostility to mixed mar
riages
Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, who
became orthodox so that he could be
elected Prince of Bulgaria, obtained
permission to marry Roman Catho-
lie princess, and promised to educate
his children in that religion, a prom
ise which 1t is alleged was not kept.
The second occasion is that OF
Prince Waldemar of Denmark, who Is
alleged to have made the same prom
ises and never to have kept them. AS
regards the Bonaparte princess 1t is
stated at the vatican that the parties
will have to enter formal engage
ment and find serious guarantees that
the children of the marriage shall be
educated in the Roman Catholic
faith

Violin as a Hair Restorer.

1t is now a scientifically proved fact
that music exercises great influence
on the growth of the hair. 1t is witt
good reason that great musicians,
such at Paganini, LisZt and Paderew-
ski, are represented with growth of
hair which Absalom might have en-.
Wed.
Science has proved that stringed in
struments have favorable influence
on the growth of the hair, while
brass instruments act in the opposite
direction. Every one has probably
observed that a bald violinist is as
rare as bald horn player is COM
mon. Wood instruments, such as the
flute, seem to have no pronounced eff
feet either way-Paris Menestrel.

At the Columbia Exposition the
entire automobile output of the
country, one car, was contained in
one small obscure corner of one
building. When the automobile
manufacturers of 1907 wanted to ex-

not only Madison Square Garden to
hold the exhibition cars or the max
ers who rest upon the Selden basic
patent, but also one of the largest
armories in town to hold the over

pendent makers. And the floor
