Accident Causes Damage.

-. ~. 1Ncii 'ttiSii.
A collision occurred near the
Northwestern city passenger
depot yesterday morning at 6:25
o'clock between the Bonesteel
passenger No. 101 west-bound,
and a special freight No. 1885,
resulting in considerable injury
to the running gear of one of
the passenger coaches and tear
ing the side off the freight en-
CINE. No one was seriously
hurt.
The passenger was taking
the switch onto the double track
and the freight was sliding
along at about ten miles per
hour about to take the same
switch for the single track. II
is stated the engineer. on sud
denly seeing the dangerous sit
uation made every effort to
slacken the speed of his train
and the force of the collision
was greatly Iessened. The
freight engine struck the mid
die coach injuring the running
gear and partially lifting the
car off the track. Both trains
were stopped Immediately. The
estimated damage to the coach
was but 5000, as the body was
not crushed.

On Monday a long step to-

On Monday long step to-
wards drainage in Soldier dis
trict was taken. The board re-
jected Engineer Munn's report
on the ground that the location
Of the Soldier Cutoff as recon-
mended by him Gid not con-
form to or comply with the
statute.
The board then appointed j.
S. Wettles engineer TO locate a
drainage system that will be in
accord with the law. Mr.. Wat
ties is perfectly competent for
the task assigned him, and a
rep 5rt may be expected if he
accepts the appointment that
will fully comply with the law
and at the same time furnish
drainage to this much afflicted
section. 1t has been claimed
by those favoring the Soldier
Cutoff plan that any other
plan would cost too much, as
no other surveys or location
had been made and computa-
tions based upon such survey
and location, the claim that
cost would be so much appears
to have little foundation in
fact or upon knowledge.
Mr.. Mum stated before the
board or in the presence of the
three members of 1t, that the
Soldier Cutoff from near Elm
Lake westward was rot planned
for drainage, but as a channel
for flood waters only.
In the Willow creek ditch the
drainage and caring for the
overflow are joined and it is
believed successfully so, and
this ditch complies with the
law as we'll. observer.

Facts About the Flag

Exactly one hundred and
thirty years ago today the Stars
and Stripes were designated by
the congress the emblem of the
republic. The only difference
between the flag Of 1907 and
the flag of 1777 is the increase
in the number OF stars in the
field of blue, corresponding to
the number Of states in the
union. Previous to the adop-
tion of this flag the different
colonies had used flags of their
own. The necessity of q COM
mon national flag was recog-
nized, however, early in 1777,
and congress delegated to q
committee authority "to design
a suitable flag for the nation. !"
Accordingly General Washing
ton and Robert Morris called
upon Mrs. Betsy Ross, in her
little home in Arch street,
Philadelphia, and requested
her to make a flag from a de.
sign made by General Wash
ington. Betsey Ross was ar
old Quaker woman, the widow
of John Ross. She was a dress
maker and Washington had
employed her, and, therefore
when the question of the flag
came up thought Of her as the
proper person to make it. -Ex.

The notion that meat is necessary
for real strength and the foundation
of solid flesh is no longer as prevalent
as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are Usually
sluggish a part of the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food. and the undigested portion is
changed into what is practically a
kind Of poison that acts upon the
blood and nerves, thus getting all
