not is hard to say. To provide for
such emergencies, however, a wide
awake woman of Massachusetts, has
designed a bed that can be increased
or decreased in length to fit the oc-
casion. The change is very easily
accomplished The side rails of the
bed are made in two sections, one
fitting into the other and held to-
gether by pins inserted in correspond
ing apertures in each. A bed such
as this should last lifetime it prop
erly cared for. Guests OF different
sizes could be readily cared for. and
to make the bed doubly useful she
also provides for the attachment OF
a gymnastic apparatus in the form
of horizontal bar. The latter is
held in position in the centre of the
bed by uprights at each side. The
uprights are also firmly attached to
the side rails of the bed by pins. BY
such attachments modern furniture
is made serviceable to it's owners in
more ways than one.

rels if they were broken apart and
the pieces tied in one bundle. Roll
ing barrel is about the easiest
known method of getting an empty
barrel from one place to another.
Undoubtedly the barrel carrier shown
in the illustration is better still. It's
best recommendation is that anyone
having use for one could readily
make it, although an Ohio man has
secured a patent on the idea. Little
explanation is required to understand
it's construction. Hooks are placed
at each end of the barrel on the rim.
These hooks are formed at the end
of rods, which are connected by a
stout cord, the latter also forming
the loop which encircles the arm.
With the use of two of these carriers,
one on each arm, a barrel may be car
ried for quite distance without
straining the arms. = Philadelphia

TRAIN RAN PAST LIGHTS
Passengers Burned and Crushed
to Death at Fowler, Ind.
Cars Catch Fire After Collision in
Fog on Big Four-Engineer's
Fatal BIunder.

Fowler, Ind.-At least sixteen per-
sons were crushed or burned to death
here in collision between freight
/ train and the Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Chicago and St. Louis Queen City
flyer, from Chicago Ten persons
were seriously injured and several
more slightly hurt.
The passenger train was running
fifty miles an hour, and consisted of
combination coach, three sleeping
cars and Big Four private car, oc-
cupied by Mrs. G. f. Schaff, wife of
the vice-president of the railroad.
The train was destroyed by fire, ex-
cept the private car and one sleeping
car. Seven of the dead have been
identified. Eleven of the victims
were burned to death in the COM
bination coach, and only two of these
have been identified
The crash of the wreck awakened
nearly every person in Fowler
Among the first to reach the wreck
were the County Recorder and the
County Auditor, who procured axes
and saws. and before the flames
reached the sleeping cars began the
work of rescue. They worked their
way into the mass of wreckage caused
by the tender and combination coach.
Four bodies were seen protruding
from among the broken seats John
Meyer, of New York, was rescued
when the fire was within a few feet
of him and he was begging some one
to shoot him. His leg was broken.
1t is probable the exact number of
victims will never be known. Rail-
road officers, of whom there were
several on the train, said there were
not more than fifteen passengers in
the combination coach, but passen-
gers say there were nearly thirty per-
sons in that car. If this be true, the
death list may reach twenty-five per-
sons.
With one exception, every member
of the passenger train crew was
killed. The known dead are: w. B.
Harris. Indianapolis; died in Emer-
gency Hospital Kankakee, Ill. I. H.
Hiddinger, INDIANAPOLIS, conductor of
passenger train. /. H. Magee, bag
gage master, Indianapolis. j, A.
Shannon, Williamsport, Ind; died on
way to Emergency Hospital, Kanka-
kee, Ill. Henry e. Olcott, Cincinnati,
fireman of passenger train. Henry A.
Price, Long Beach, CAL; en- route to
Lafayette; body totally burned. Mrs.
Henry A. Price.
The passenger train, in a heavy
fog. ran by a telegraphic block signal
which called for stop. The red
light was not obeyed. 1t was prob
ably obscured by the fog. The loco
motive was telescoped with the COM
bination coach, making a mass of
wreckage, under which the passen-
gers in the cars were wedged. Seats
were hurled through the roof and
Goals from the firebox set the debris
in flames.

PREDICTS GREAT TRADE WAR
Secretary Shaw Foresees an AW-
full International Conflict.
England, France and Germany Also
Must Find Market For Manufac-
lures, He Tells Harvard Men.

Cambridge, Mass.-Leslie M. Shaw,
Secretary of the Treasury, addressing
700 students in the Harvard Union,
prophesied gigantic international
trade war for the twentieth century,
contest which in bitterness would
surpass the awful battles Of military
history
England, France and Germany
have long been dependent upon their
manufactures for their national sub.
sistence," he said. 1--WE have long re.
garded ourselves as an agricultural
nation, but at present we are manu-
Iactur1ng five per cent. more articles
than we can consume, and our manu-
Iactures are increasing four times as
fast as our agricultural pursuits
These figures plainly show that be-
1ore long we, too, will have to be de-
pendent upon foreign market in or
der to support our manufactures.
I'VE must have this market if we
are to exist. So must England, Ger
many and France The conflict will
be an awful one. God grant that it
may be bloodless. -
The Secretary advocated the or
ganization of strong merchant ma
rine.
South America and the Orient are
already heavy importers of manufac-
tured goods" he said, fand we Amer
leans must wakeup to the fact, which
we apparently do not yet recognize,
that these are two of the places to
which we must look for our increased
foreign market"
The speaker placed himself on rec
ord as utterly opposed to the rich,
who owned seventy-five per cent. of
the wealth of the country, none of
which they earned, and declared that
the ideal of the American people
should be to work it out so that
each man will receive a little more
than he earns from this seventy-five
per cent of our wealth"

HURRICANE AT BUFFALO.
Steel Ships Ashore--Loss There and
at Tonawanda $3,OOO,OOO.

Buffalo, N. with the sudden
ness Of typhoon an eighty-five-mile
gale struck this town, doing great
damage here and in the Tonawandas
that is estimated at 100000. There
were twenty-three steel freighters,
grain laden, moored under the break
water. Five were piled high and dry
on the beach. Each of these big
boats is worth $350,000, and three of
them will cost a pretty penny for
their release.
A mile and half of lumber docks
at the Tonawandas were swept into
the river and five miles of docks were
submerged. The damage there is
$1,000,000.

ate exercises and in the presence of a
distinguished audience, the one hun

played Dixie" and other Southern
melodies. President Roosevelt sent
letter, in which he extolled the vir-
tues of the Confederate general in
war and in peace. His suggestion
that the centennial anniversary be
celebrated by the establishment of a
permanent Lee Memorial at some
great representative educational in
stitution of the South met with in
slant favor. Following brief remarks
by Senator Berry, of Arkansas, and
Justice Brewer, of the United States

POISON SENT ORPHAN ASYLUM.
Box of Berries Received by Sisters
Three Deaths Recalled.

Burlington, Vt.-That some one
has murderous hatred for the Cath
Ollie Providence Orphan Asylum here
is shown by the receipt of box of
poisonous berries sent to the sisters
by mail. The box was postmarked
Lyndonville, and plainly addressed to
St Josephs Orphan Asylum.
No means of identifying the sender
is evident. The berries are believed
to be those of the mountain ash
Upon receipt of the berries the sis
tiers sent them to the State Labora-
tory of Hygiene for analysis.
In this connection is recalled the
death on October rs, 1905, of three
little girls at the orphanage from
some form of poisoning not explained.
The theory at that time was that the
deaths were caused by the childrSn
eating locust berries, or the roots
of the tree.

MUST CHECK COLORADO FLOOD.
The President Sends Special Message
to Congress.

Washington, D. C.-The President
sent to Congress a message urging
some action toward remedying the
situation caused by the break in the
Colorado River four miles below the
international boundary line in Mex
leo, which threatens the property in.
terest in the Imperial Valley of Cali
tornia. He says prompt action must
be taken, and probably with an ex.
penditure of 100000 the river can
be restored to its former channel and
held there indefinitely. At present
there appears to be only one agent
equal to the task of controlling the
river, namely, the Southern Pacific
Company.
