L Mieht Be Worse.

Don't kick about the mud. It
might be worse, Besides that, if re-
ports are true, it really is worse all
over the Palouse country. A dispatch
from Palouse says that the town is out
of touch with the farming sections be-
cause the roads are impossible, and
other sections are no better. Remem-
Der that the past winter has been an
unusual one, with a great deal more
snow and rain throughout the entire
United States than has been known for
years, if at all. Here we had some
three feet of snow, and no one knows
how much rain, with the result that the
ground is simply soaked full to over
flowing. Instead OF kicking let US be
thankful, for if the snow had gone off
quickly instead of soaking into the
ground, floods, with some loss of life
and much damage, would have results
ed. The people OF this section have
no kick coming, and so far as we
know are not making any. We have
some mud, but it might be worse.

Thanks.

Nels Aspelund, who lives near Nora,
is probably one of the most thankful
men in Latah county, and it all came
over the fact that on the 22d of March
he was called into the Office OF the
Troy Lumber and Manufacturing Co.,
where Ole Bohman, one of the big
hearted men of Troy, presented him
with purse containing $96.05, a gift
from a large circle of Scandinavian
friends headed by Mr.. Bohman, who
raised the money and presented it out
of respect for Mr.. Aspelund, who is a
poor man with large family. When
asked why the money was given, Mr.
Bohman said: ''We knew that Mr..
Aspelund was in need oi little assist
ance and we wanted to help him out.
That is all there is to it, Mr.. Aspe-
lund is truly thankful and desires to
express his appreciation. This is a
case of practical charity that is real
good to know and the kind of charity
that counts. Neighbors and friends
usually know the condition of the
people of their neighborhood and are
in position 10 know when a little lift is
most needed.

Successful Social.

The sock social given last Friday
evening by the Ladies' Aid of the
Christ an church proved not only a
social success but turned out entirely
profitable. Something over $40 was
realized, and from this the society will
net about $35. The ladies sent out a
very unique invitation for the fair. 1t
read:
Dear friend, we would tale unfold,
Perhaps you'll think it shocking;
'Tis not about the current news,
But simply of stocking.
This little sock we herewith send,
While it is not your measure,
Is furnished you to gain an end,
To swell the L. A. treasure.
Please place therein, in any coin,
Nor hold US in suspense,
Just twice the number that you wear;
(We hope it is immense.)
So, if you wear number 10,
You owe US 20, seel
So put it in the little sock
And fill our hearts with glee.
But if the distance seems too great
Our concert to attend;
Or care, or sickness should prevent,
Just send by some good friend,
Or kind old Uncle Sam" will bring
The dimes we so much need,
And many thanks we'll vote to you,
Who are friend indeed.
Tis all we ask; it isn't much,
And hardly any trouble;
But if you only have one foot
Well surely charge you double.
Now, if you have chum quite dear
You'd like to bring with you,
Or, if you know some one who'd come,
Well gladly send you two.
So don't forget the place and date
Well answer when you knock,
And welcome you with open arms
And Don't Forget Your Sock.

WAS HE MURDERED f?
Some Serious RumOrS of Indecent
Action in the Railroad
Camps Reach Troy.

1t will be remembered that during
the cold spell last winter it was re-
ported that an Italian had been frozen
to death on the way from Jansville to
camp ten, some six miles east of JAMS
vile. 1t was then said that the young
man, in company with other Italians,
had been in Jansville where they had
indulged quite freely and was drunk
when the party started for the railroad
camp in the evening. 1t was also re-
ported that the men quaueled and
fought when near Helmer. The
following morning one of the patty was
found dead, and the report sent out
that he had frozen to death. 1t is now
rumored that the man was not
frozen, but died from the result of the
beating received in the free for all
fight. 1t is said that his head showed
evidence of severe beating. 1t is also
rumored that after the body was found
it was taken to the railroad dump and
simply covered over by the scrapers
aid buried at the bottom of the rail-
road grade where the remains are now
said to be.
Another report coming from the
railroad camps north of here is to the
effect that one Of the men died in the
hospital from typhoid fever. That,the
people in charge of the camp sent to
Jansville and ordered rough wooden
box made in which to bury the re-
mains. And it is told on excellent
authority that the people of Avon,
learning of the proposed method Of in
terment, objected and ordered a
decent coffin made, the expense ol
which was to be paid by two promi-
nent citizens of Avon provided the
railroad contractors refused. 1t is said
that the coffin, a decent one, was
taken to the camp where the body,
almost nude, was dumped into
the box and buried with about as much
ceremony as is usually given an old
broken down horse, much to the dis
gust of the people of that neighbor-
hood.
In speaking of the manner in which
the railroad contractors have treated
their sick, injured, and dead employees
one gentleman spoke in a very EN-
phatic manner, saying he consided i
simply outrageous. He said the mer
were treated like dumb brutes, and i
reports were true, were neglected whel
sick or injured and buried like animal
if they happened to die. He though
the facts in the case warrant an in
vestigation by the grand Jury.

TWENTY-SIX KILLED
ON SOUTHERN PACIFIC
Express Train Is DeraiIsd By An
Open Switch.
MOST OF DEAD WERE ITALIANS.
Disaster Occurred One Mile East of Col
ton, CaI.-Players Were In Special
Car-Eighteen Bodies Recovered and
Others Under Debris-Of 80 Pullman
Passengers, Only Two Are Hurt.

Cotton, Cal, (SpeciaD A disas-
trous wreck on the Southern Pacific
occurred 1h miles east of here.
when westbound Train No. 8, from
New Orleans for San Francisco, ran
into an open switch while going at
the rate Of 40 miles an hour.
Ten OF the IA coaches were de-
rallied.
Twenty-six persons are known TO
have been killed, and the final list
viii probably total much higher. The
injured number about 100, many OF
whom may die.
The wrecked coaches were hurled
In every direction and four were
smashed into splinters. Most OF the
dead were Italians from New York
and New Orleans, going to San Fran
cisco. They occupied the smoker and
day coach.
The dead were terribly manned
and mangled. Eighteen corpses were
brought to Cotton and eight addition
al bodies could be seen underneath
one of the demolished cars. This car
could not be raised until a derrick
was brought from Los Angeles, 60
miles away
The injured were carried here in
vehicles of all sorts, and the Cotton
Hospital was quickly filed to its ca
pacity. Many were then taken to
the Presbyterian Church and to priv
ate residences.
But two Americans are known to
have been killed. although several of
them among the injured are expected
to die within the next few hours.
George L. Sharp, of Muncie, Ind,
was instantly killed. The baggage
man of the train, whose name had
not been ascertained, was also killed.
Engineer Clarence z. Wormington
and Fireman Victor Crebb jumped.
but were caught %n the wreckage and
horribly burned.
Out of about so Pullman passengers
onlytwo sustained serious injury. The
three Pullman coaches and the din
ner, which were on the rear of the
train, did not leave the track The
occupants of these cars were practi-
cally unharmed.
The Florence Roberts Theatrical
Company occupied one coach, which
was hurled from the track, and both
ends of it were crushed in by i'm
pact against the others. Two Of the
p members of the company were
injured. Miss Roberts escaped un-
hurt.
The escape from death of the oc-
cupants of this car was remarkable,
considering the manner in which the
coach was splintered and torn to
pieces. The men and women were
hurled from one end of the car to
the other.
There were three tracks where the
accident occurred, which is in the
open country. The people of Cotton
were first to be notified of the catSs.
trophe. Hundreds hurried to the
scene, and physicians and nurses
were brought from San Bernardino
and Cotton.
