Terrible Blow to Ionia.
Sunday was a day OF grief and
mourning in the little city of Ionia,
which is 100 miles west of Detroit.
Mayor John ~ Bible says he esti-
mates that one in every so of the
citys inhabitants was either killed or
! injured in the wreck. All of Saturday
night members of a citizens commit.
tee, which was appointed when the
extent of the catastrophe was realized
were at work visiting the homes of
the dead and injured and arranging
for medical attention and assistance
where it was necessary. All OF the
city's normal activities have prac-
tically been suspended and every one
| is devoting attention to the wreck vic
| tins.
One of the most pathetic cases Of
suffering is the Hass family, which
| lost it's father and two sons. They
were the breadwinners, and widow
and six children are left nearly desti-
| tute by the death of Charles, Herman
and Paul Hass.
Not until Sunday was the identity
of all the dead positively established,
and an accurate list made up. All but
five victims whose names are on the
death roll lived in Ionia.
Victims Were on Excursion.
The passenger train, of IL cars, was
bringing the Pere Marquette shop en-
| ployes of Ionia and their families to
Detroit for their annual excursion. 1t
was running at high speed down a
grade when it met the freight train
head-on.
| The locomotives were smashed and
J behind them six cars of the passenger
| train lay piled in hopeless wreck.
Four of the passenger coaches re-
NAMED on the track unchanged and
were used to convey the dead and in
] jured to Ionia. One coach was I'M
damaged, with only its forward truck
off the rails. These were the rear five
cars. The two coaches next ahead of
these were telescoped. One of these
was the smoker, where most of the
victims were riding.
The freight rain was moving slow
ly up the grade in the cut when the
excursion flyer bore down on it. l.. b.
Alvord, engineer of the passenger,
saw the crash was inevitable, and
after setting the air brake jumped,
with his fireman, Knowles. Alvord es.

rather than a desire for reformation.
But it makes no difference what
motive prompted the action. the re-
suit will be one of the best things for
the colored race that has happened
since the proclamation that gave
them their freedom, forty five years
ago. Most of the trouble with the
negro in the south has been caused by
his drinking too much of the white
mans whiskey. When under its in
fluence he is governed wholly by pas
sion and becomes most dangerous
element to the community. When
bad elements both among the whites
and the black are limited to a diet of
corn bread instead of corn whiskey,
they will raise better crops and less
hell. They would have better homes
and higher morality. The nergo
will be more industrious and more
peaceable. The white people and their
homes will have better protection and
they will have greater respect for
the negro. We predict that the south
is going to find such a marked change
for the better under prohibition of
the liquor traffic.

HUGHES OF NEW YORK

There are many marked indica-

independent vote. In an interview
with Senator Depew. who knows New
York politics like book. he makes
the following significant statement:
Governor Huhges is sure to be very
strong candidate for the presidential
nomination next year. l have been
for fifty years in active politics. hav-
ing stumped the state for Fremont
IN 1856. and Huges is the only COVER
nor in all that time who. at his first
year. has not been criticised by at
least the opposition press. At the
present time he enjoys the rare dis
tinction of having both the republi-
can and democratic press of the state
with him. 1t show the strength of
the governor and his administration
and at the same time the lessening of
partisan loyalty on the part of the
newspapers. OF course no one can
tell what will happen at the next
national convention; but it is certain
that Governor Huhges at this time is
a large factor in republican national
politics.

It is remarkable how she directs the
thread. Holding it carefully by one

her body, she gives it a pull each
time, then fixes it to one Of the frame

The male spider is seldom seen in

with three claws, the middle one being
