EXPRESS HURLED 200 FEET
Train On S. p. Wrecked Near Deeth,
Nevada, Passengers Escaping
Injury.

OGDEN. Utah, Jan. 23.-Western
Express No. 5, westbound on the
Southern Pacific was ditched at Deeth,
Nevada, 1874 miles west of here shortly
before 1 1O'clock last evening. The en-
tire train of eight cars was hurled
from the track and turned completely
over. The two day coaches were
thrown a distance of 200 feet.
A number of passengers were in
jured but the railway officials claim
that none was seriously hurt. The
train was running at a high rate of
speed, being four hours late, and the
accident is supposed to have been the
result of a defective brake hanger or
brake beam. The engine did not leave
the rails. The baggage car was the
first to leave the track. 1t was followed
by the second baggage car, the diner,
two coaches, the tourist and two Pull
man sleepers. The injured were taken
to Wells, New, for treatment.

GIVES ADVICE, NOT DEGREES
Indiana Judge Talks in FatherIy Way
To People Wanting Divorce.

MUNCIE, Ind, Jan. 23.-Judge Jo-
seph Letter of the circuit court, who
has won fame by combating the di-
vorce evil from the judges bench and
by exhausting all methods to bring
about a reconciliation before granting
a divorce, has adopted a new plan,
which has just worked successfully in
the case of Ellsworth and Margaret
Sutton. AS in many other cases, Judge
Letter believed that both husband and
wife probably had sufficient legal
grounds to warrant giving the decree,
but he decided to postpone his deci-
sion. Then. on the date at which he
was to make known the decision, he
called the husband and wife before him
and gave them a long and fatherly
lecture, advising them to become re-
conciled and start life over, for the
sake of their baby, if not for their
own sakes. They agreed, and this re-
suited in dismissal of the case. Judge
Letter than told Sutton, who is him.
self little more than a boy, that if
he did not work to support the wife

Jail at hard labor. The young peopi-
said they would try living together
again.

is NOW RELENTLESS AGGRESSION
OF FINANCIAL ENEMIES ON
WALL STREET.

NEW YORK. Jan. 23.-Every few
months Wall street develops some new
towering figure whose actions and his
tory are chronicled with all possible
detail in the newspapers, and VINO is
the target in turn, for all sorts of at
tacks.
Just at present this figure is Ed.
ward H. Hartman, who has risen in
a short time from comparative OBJ
security to a worldwide reputation, and
he is finding that the white light OF
publicity is discomforting in many
ways In this respect his experience
is exactly like that encountered by
J. PierpOnt Morgan, Thomas F: Ryan,
August Belmont, John d. Rockefeller,
and H. H. Rogers long ago. Mr.. Har-
riman is paying in way for many
years of unbroken success. His sue
cess reached a point where it made
him a general target, and apparently
there are several broadsides yet to
be fired.
In Wall street there are many who
look on smilingly at the hard blows
which Hartman is receiving from the
United States government. The
smiles are caused by recollections OF
the many years during which Harri-
man rode rough-shod over everybody
who stood in his way. He was the
son of a poor minister and was clerl
in a brokers' office until. thirty-SiX
years ago, when stock exchange mem
berships were cheap, he managed to
get one and launched himself in earn
est on the sea of finance Since then
he has developed into the most pow
erful railroad figure this or any other
country ever has known.
Harriman's rule is through fear. 1t
is safe to say that there is not a man
under him. in any of his vast proper
ties. viii possess any warm feeling
OF friendship or affection for his chief;
but there is the deadly fear of Harri
mans vengeance when crossed. Stuy-
vesant Fish has had good reason to
know what Harriman's vengeance
means, and he is but one. Yet it was
this same Fish, in the old stock eX-
change days, who materially aided
Hartman in getting his first real start
toward success. Gratitude, in this as
in many other cases, does not form a
part of high finance ethics.
Today Hartman is the boss of ap-
proximately $3.50 100000 of invested
wealth, of some $4,000 miles of rail
roads. many steamship lines. and
enough employees to populate a state

state Commerce commission is the re-
suit AS long as Roosevelt remains

water. That is why Wall street. filled

A TRUE "sPooK" STORY.
With Startling Features Of Disappear
ing Furniture and a Ghostly Hand.

Want to hear spook storyf
It's a true one, for Johnson told 1t
to me himself and it happened to a
friend of his.
But it is a real scarey one and If you
think it will brighten you, why l won 7
tell it. Think you will risk it, do youf
Well. draw the curtains and turn the
lights up higher. IN stop any time
YOU say so, but remember that every
word is strictly true-there is no fake
about this story.
johnson s friend, Mr.. Siegel, was
travelling man. He arrived one night
in little out-of-the-way town, where
there was no hotel. But he had the
address of a worthy couple given him
by an acquaintance, where he expected
to be able to obtain lodgings. But to
his CONSERVATION, he found upon call
ing at the house in question, that the
rooms were all occupied as there was
fete going on in the town.
What to do he did not know.
Perhaps his face did wear look of
despair, when he turned upon his heel
and paused moment, before starting
out into the dark, where the trees cast
gruesome shadows across the road and
the moon fickered in and out among
the clouds, and if my memory fails me
not, there was dog bowling in the
distance, and the mournful walls of a
cat were heard nearer at hand But
pulling himself together he bid the cou
pie goodnight.
Then the good wife, with commisera-
ton in her soul, said to her husband:
"Why couldn It the stranger have our
son s room; he won t be back until to-
morrow, and it is too bad for the young
man to 60 out into the night, not know
ing where he could lay his head. Don t
believe there is another place, anyway,
for you know that everyone's house is
filled with company"
"Why, sure, wife! The stranger can
have John s room and welcome, if he
doesn't mind taking things just as he
finds them"
Siegel didn't mind, you bet, and as
the hour was getting late, he was given
a lunch of mince-pie and pickles and
speedily hied him to his bed.
His host showed him to the room,
which was large one, in an ell of the
house, reached by long corridor and
with windows overlooking the long
stretch of road where the trees were
casting such creepy and bogerish shad-
ows. But Siegel was tired and inside of
five minutes he had tumbled out of his
clothes and was sleeping the sleep of
the just, or of the unjust-at any rate
he was speedily sleeping soundly.
He knew nothing more until some
thing aroused him.
He listened. He heard the rustic of
garments in the corridor outside.
He sat up in bed. He heard the
swish of skirts and the gentle patter of
feet, and not only in the corridor, but
in his room. By this time he was fright
ened.
Then dog howled and the moon.
which was playing peek a-boo with the
clouds, now and again cast fitful shad-
ows about the room.
Unable to bear the suspense any long
er, Siegel mustered all the courage he
could gather together, leaped out of
bed, and reached for the matches.
He lit one. 1t went out.
He lit another and it burned LONG
enough for him to see that the lamp
was gone. He lit another and another
