pass through Seattle on her trip to
the Orient, sailing on the Hill liner
Minnesota in a few weeks.
Behind this announcement is ro-
mantle story, which began few
years ago when both Miss Burton and
the young Japanese were students at
the Indiana institution. When the
japanese boy completed his education
in America and was ready to return
to his native land he obtained a
promise from the Hoosier girl to
keep UP the acquaintance by cores
pondence. When the St. Louis fair
opened the Oriental youth was sent
by his government as representa-
tive to the fair, and he again met the
girl of his choice. Since then the
romance was rapidly approaching the
stage when Miss Burton decided to
leave America behind and go to her
Japanese lover. The wedding is to
take place in Tokyo, and is said to
give every evidence Of being an af-
fair of state.

EVERETT, June As he result

Northern overland No. l crashed into
a freight train at Lowell few min
utas after 6 O'Clock last evening. En-
gineer Calder, of the passenger train,
receiving a scalp wound when he
jumped from his cab.
The caboose of the freight train
was cut to pieces and two box cars
and flat car smashed to kindling.
The big overland engine, No. 1905,
was so firmly wedged in the wreck
age that though it did not leave the
rails it could not be backed out.
The accident occurred near the
viaduct over which the Snohomish
interurban cars pass. The freight,
which apparently had just left the
main line to allow the overland to
pass, was standing about one hun
dred yards from the switch, which
some one neglected to close.
Those who witnessed the accident
say that the overland was coming at
the usual speed but that as soon as
the passenger engineer saw the open
switch he applied the emergency
brake and, with the fireman, jumped
just before the collision occurred. A
telegraph pole standing beside the
track was cut down by one of the
box cars which flew from the track
w. N. Rouleau, of Everett, who
was passenger on the overlap =,
stated that thu shoet vas scarcely
felt back in some Of the coaches.
Others in the day coach back of the
express car said they were severely
Jared
DR.. Cox was notified of the acci-
dent and made a flying trip in his
auto to the scene of the wreck,
where he dressed the wound of the
engineer. The latter and the fireman
at once resumed their places in the
cab and worked to extricate the en-
gine, which was released about an
hour later.
Had anyone been in the caboose
of the freight they would have been
torn to pieces, as the car was entire
ly destroyed.

Wenatchee Woman Wilfully Smashes
One Hundred Sixty Bottles OF
Baneful Booze.

Wenatchee valley has real live
Carrie Nation in it's midst.
Because it would be unkind, and
because no good end would be served,
the names of the parties involved
will not be made public.
But here's the story.
Saturday a telephone message
came into the central police station,
asking immediate assistance to sub
due a man said to be drunk and run
ming amuck in the bosom OF his fam
lily.
Marshal Ferguson was summoned,
but found that the house wherein
the trouble had occurred was without
his police jurisdiction; so it was up
to the sheriff.
1.-The man is chasing his wife with
a hammer" the telephone message,
land some officer must come at
once" Accordingly Sheriff Webb and
Constable Simmons secured a rig,
and started for the scene of the row.
Simmons Tells of Trouble.
When seen by a World representa-
tive, Constable Simmons said:
I'VE had been told to hurry-that
the man in question was chasing his
wife around with hammer, and had
driven the children off the place.
when we got to the house, he was
out in the yard, drunk. His wife
was inside, but the children could
not be seen. We finally found the
little boy hidden in wood pile sew
eral yards from the house; his sister,
a little girl, was hiding long ways
off, in clump of willows. Both
children were crying and badly
frightened We finally got the fam
lily together, and tried to get them
to make up" The man was willing,
but the woman wouldn't.
Smashed 161 Bottles of Wine.
In the cellar the man had had
161 bottles of wine stored. 1t was
probably from this source that he
had accumulated his salivating jag.
His wife had got sore at him, took
an AK, and smashed all the bottles
except one.

And of all the things l do despisa,
it's the girl that's got red hair.
But I'll take one with eyes of green
if she is of my race
Before I'd take a gray eyed girl with
freckles on her face.

What a BOYS Life is Worth.

A new valuation on the life of a
t~en-year-old boy vas made by a jury
In the Supreme Court, before Justice
Ford, in which Mary Netelsky was
awarded s395S.33 for the killing of
her son Harry. The boy was run
over by a wagon owned by the Hud-
son Coal Company, of New Jersey, on
January 10, 1904. Verdicts in SINH
lar cases have run from 81 to $780,

a verdict for the mother they could
award only such sum as the value of
the boys service would be to her up
to the time of his majority. The jury
took fifteen minutes to consider its
verdict, and then awarded Mrs. Netel.

FIRE COSTS MANY LIVES
Terrorized by Flames, 18 Syrians
Perish at Wheeling, W. Va.
Explosion of Gas Added to Horrors of
Death by the FIood-Childrcn
the Chief Victims.

Wheeling, W. Va.-Eighteen per-
sons are known to have lost their
lives, and it is thought that there
were a number of other fatalities, in
a fire which destroyed the plant of
the Warwick Pottery Company in the
flooded district of this city. Most of
the dead are children. The fire fol-
lowed an explosion, which terriued
families of Syrian mill operatives liv-
ing in nearby houses. Frantic with
alarm, they Jumped from the win
dows of their homes into the Good,
and were drowned in the rushing
waters. The scene was distressing.
The screams for help of those in the
buildings could be heard as far as the
steel bridge, a mile away, where
thousands Of persons had gathered
to watch the blaze, unable TO render
assistance. Not all of those drowned
met their death by jumping. Five
were drowned by the upsetting OF a
boat into which they had clambered
to reach a place of safety.
Because of the water surrounding
the burning factory the firemen were
unable to reach the scene with ap-
paratus. Lines of hose were carried
to the fire by boats pressed into SER
vice. The firemen and all the avail
able police of the city did heroic work
in rescuing the drowning. The crew
of a boat moored across the river
from the burning building manned
a yawl and saved about one hundred.
The rescued persons aud their fam
lilies offered gifts and rewards of
money to the rescuers, who refused
to accept the gratr tiles.
Had the Syrians remained in their
homes probably one would have net
death. Their homes were rot touched
by the flames. The loss of life was
due entirely to the panic following
the explosion. The act of one or two
who jumped from windows without
reason spread terror to hundreds,
who followed suit.
After the fire the Syrians refused
to return to their homes. Nearly
every family lost a member by drown
ing or has a member among the miss
ing, and the remainder are frantic.
1t is estimated that the damage in
Wheeling alone since the food will
amount to over S3,O00,0G0. 1t will
be weeks before any of the local in
dustrial plants will be able to resume
operations. The floods are receiing,
leaving the city a mass of debris and
w~reckage, and the work of recovery
will commence as soon as possible.
There is much suffering, and steps
have been taken to relieve distress.
The following is a partial list of
those drowned: Mike Bretries, store
keeper; Rosa Bertas, Elias Litchell,
Allen Bertas, Frank Holes, watch
mar at pottery; Simon ELIAS, propri-
etor of dry goods store; Julia Moses,
Hayder Moses, brother of Julia
Moses; Charles Matthews, Waterman
at Wheeling Stamping Company.

The Piety of Usefulness.

Someone once said to Cromwell:
You, sire, know well the usefulness
of piety!" L know something bet
ter" Cromwell replied, "the piety
of usefulness" The phrase works
both ways. Piety is useful, and use
fulness is a function or activity of
piety. If it is meant that simply to
be busy is to be- religious. a subtle
terror turks in the remark of Crom-
well. But if the meaning is that
the piety demanded by the age is not
a self-engrossed righteousness which
dwells apart in reflective u~nconcern,
but the practical kind of faith that is
busy in the Kings business, an i'm
portant truth is thus brought to u

The God We Need.

One of the great events of Elijah's
ministry was the trial of gods-as to
whether Baal or Jehovah was the
true God. Baal's prophets prayed
long. But no fire fell. Elijah prayed
and the answer came at once. The
test of Carmel is being repeated every
day in thousands of places on the
earth. Burdened ones + praying,
and God in Heaven is hearing and
giving answer. Blessings r drop
ping out of the skies upon the needy,
suffering lives, in response to their
earnest, f%aith-flled pleading. The
God who answers prayers is the God
we all need.
