Mt. PLgAsANr NOTES.

(sPECIAL 10 BYsTANDER)
Oh. Wednesday March ~ 1907 the
Dsath Angel entered the home Of Mr..
and Mrs K Bartlett about the noon
hour and took from their midst their
second daughter. Miss Lydia, although
it WAS we'll known that she could not
recover and her death was to be expect
ed almost anytime, yetit was severe
shock to her home and the community.
She was born near Salem Iowa Nov.
IA, 1878 and moved with her parents
to Mt. Pleasant when about one year
old. She entered the public schools 10
child hood and graduated from the Mt.
Pleasant High School at the age Of II.
For four years afterwards she was q
clerk for Drs. Smith and Linn leading
physicians OF the city.
From childhood to the grave LYDIA
was an obedient patient aud loving
daughter, sister and friend. She be-
came member of the A. NJ. E. Sunday
School when little girl, and mem
Der of the A. M. T. church when 10
years OF age to which organizations,
she was faithful member until death
holding various Offices 10 each having
been superintendent Of the Sunday
School since 1899.
In 1904 when the Iowa District Con-
ference and Sunday School Convention
met here Miss Bartlett was elected the
District Superintendent and having
filed the position with such entire sat
isfaction was reelected at the conven-
ton at Des Moines 1905 and in CIarinda
in 1905, the District never had Sup.
erintendant more loyal. In the sum.
mer of 1908 Miss Bartlett had severe
attack of catarrah of the stomach,
and since that time her health
has been failing, and she was unable
to visit many schools in her district,
fact she often regretted.
In August of 1905 she visited the con-
vention of Sub-District No. 2 of the
Iowa District Sunday School Conven-
ton which met at K eokuk, while there
she became ill and was ompelle to
return home and cancel her visit with

TRAINS CRASH
IN A TUNNEL
AMERICANS NARROWLY ESCAPE
DEATH IN FRANCE
Panic Follows Collision in Which Train
Bearing Transatlantic Passen-
gers to cherhourg Is
Demolished
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NANTES. France, Sept 25.-The
transatlantic train carrying first class
passengers from Paris to Cherbourg,
where they were to embark on the
White steamer Adriatic, was telescoped
today in the Breval tunnel Nineteen
persons were injured, none fatally.
1t was remarkable that no one was
killed. The train taking passengers
to Cherbourg for embarkation on the
North German Lloyd steamer Crown
Prince Wilhelm, which was following
the train having on board the Adriatic
passengers, proceeded to her destina-
tion by another route. The disaster
is said to have been due to negligence
of the crew of the train carrying the
transatlantic passenfers, as no lights
were burning on the rear end of the
train and no torpedoes were placed on
the track behind it as required by the
regulations when a train halts in a
tunnel. This neglect caused another
train to run into the passenger train
bound for Cherbourg.
The train with the Adriatic passen-
gers left Paris in two sections. The
first, containing the second class bag
gage, stopped just beyond the Breval
tunnel Owing to an accident to the
locomotive the second section contain
ing the first class passengers was
stopped by signal when in the middle
of the tunnel.
The regular train for Rouen followed
the second section of the passenger
train for Cherbourg, and although
there was a red signal up at the en-
trance of the tunnel the train was
only reduced in speed and entered
while going at the rate of Twenty-Five
tlac n
The train crashed into the rear of
the transatlantic train, causing a hor-
rible wreck. The locomotive of the
Rouen train completely telescoped the
rear coach of the transatlantic and
in the smoke and darkness an awful
panic ensued.
Nineteen injured persons were taken
out of the wreckage, several of them
suffering from broken limbs, but no
one was fatally hurt.
An American girl who was going
home with her mother was caught in
the wreckage and pinned down by
some iron work. Hours elapsed be-
fore the girl was extricated from her
painful position. Her mother escaped
uninjured.
The Adriatic's male passengers after
they had recovered from the panic fol-
lowing the collision went to work In
aiding the injured who were sent to
hospitals at Nantes and Bonnieres.
PARIS, Sept 25.-The railroad COM
pany received a telegram from Evreux
announcing the arrival there OF seven
of the injured The only one seriously
hurt was an unknown woman who,
however, insists upon going on to
Cherbourg. One other passenger suf
fering from broken leg, was taken
to the hospital there.
"A private message received in this
city reported one of the injured to be
