The train was crossing a trestle over
CHARTERS creek when, without warn
ing. the engine suddenly leaped from
the rails and shot to the stream un-
derneath. taking the first coach with
It. The coach was smashed to splin-
ters. There were. as 1t happened, NO
passengers In the front coach. The
coupling between 1t and the second
coach was broken when the engine
left the rails. None of those in the
three remaining Coaches knew of the
accident or realized how close they
utes afterward when the cars. de-
prived OF motive power, slackened
their speed and stopped.
A new schedule went into effect on
the road Sunday, and to this fact
many owe their lives; Under this
schedule train No. q left Pittsburg
forty-five minutes earlier, and over
nifty persons missed the train for this
reason. On account of the reduced
number Of passengers all were placed
An the three rear coaches.

,a mystery, and the railroad officials

BUILDING UP UNIVERSITY.
Record Breaking Attendance Expected
Next Fall


Next Fall.
President F. b. Gault is doing all
in his power to build up the state uni.
versity at Vermillion, and 1T will be-
no fault of his If the beginning of the
next school years does not witness the
largest attendance in the history of
South Dakota's leading educational
institution.
In the past two colleges have been
lacking to make the state university
what it should be, but as result of
an action of the board Of regents ihe'
needs will be supplied by next fall. TOT
the college of arts and sciences, coll
lege Of law and college Of music, Will
now be added a college of medicine'
and a college of engineering.
Heretofore it has been possible for
students who planned on a medicall
course to take their first two years
work at the university. This work 10
in the nature of scientific preparation.
Put it transpires that regular medical
schools will not accept the work of
the university for the first two years
simply because of the fact that no
chartered college Of medicine exists at
the institution. To overcome this OBJ
stacle and to give each student who
desires to remain here an opportunity
to do work which will count a college
of medicine has been authorized by
the board Of regents. Eventually this
means that a full course in medicine
will be given.

Alleged Insult to Uniform of Marine
Corps.

congressional library at Washington
recently in which two members of the
marine corps were elected from the
building, Secretary Metcalf will order
an investigation. 1t is his intention to
secure the testimony Of both sides.
and he will appoint an officer from
the advocate generals Office to act in
conjunction with an official librarian,
having expressed the wish for a full
inquiry into all the facts.
1t was claimed by the watchman
that the marines were detected in the
act of flirting, while the men charge
they were elected because they were
in uniform.
The report Of Private Elliott, now
attached to the battleship Kansas and
who with Corporal Frye was ordered
from the building, has been received
at the navy department. Elliott sub
stantiates all the statements Of Frye,
denying the allegation of improper

a large fund and it is the intention to
secure the services of competent
man who will act in the capacity Of an
Industrial commissioner to look after
the interests of the city in every way
to make it grow and develop along

been reached in the city's development
where it's interests cannot be taken
care Of in the proper manner by a
commercial committee, owing to the
many business cares Of the individual
members Of the committee.

at Norfolk.

at Norfolk.
President Roosevelt, while speaking
at the exposition grounds in Norfolk.
Va. Friday. that he might be better
seen and heard, mounted a table
which raised him high above the
heads Of the vast audience. He was
greatly concerned by the danger in
the crowd to the women and children,
and. speaking at the top Of his voice.
he earnestly requested the people to
refrain from crowding. He called at
tention to the fact that there were
women and children in front, and
said: III there is one thing that
marks body of Americans, especially
a body of Virginians. it is that they
take good care Of the women and
children"
This had the effect Of stopping dan
ger for the time, but it was not long
before the peoples enthusiasm again
swept away all semblance Of order
and Gen. Grant sent a squad of cav
airy out in the throng. This move. 1t
Is believed. is all that saved the i'm
mense gathering from breaking
through the ropes and lines Of guards,
In which event there may have been
many casualties

Injurious Preservative Said to Be In
Use in Kansas.
DR.. s. ]. Crumbine, of Topeka,
Kan, secretary of the board Of health,
announced Thursday that he had dis
covered in use there a preservative for
meats the manufacturers of which, he
asserts, are openly defying the state
and federal pure food laws. The pre-
servative is made in the east, and
chemical tests show that it contains
charcoal and pure sulphur, which.
when burned, form a sulphur dioxide
gas which y habsorbed in the meat and
has the same effect as borax. The
manufacturers in their circulars state
that the preservative makes it possi-
BILE for the butchers to evade the law,
contending that the powder itself does
not touch the meat.
