Many Wrecks
On the G. N.
The Great Northern has Four
Passenger Wrecks In AS Manv
Days Within 100 miles Here

During the past week the
Great Northern had four passen-
ger wrecks within 100 miles of
this city. The first one occurred
last Thursday about one o'clock
when number two went into the
ditch at Trenton. The entire
!, train left the track and several
OF the coaches were thrown far
enough away to smash several
telegraph poles. Several of the
passengers were slightly injured
but none seriously. Some one
told a rather good joke on the
conductor. There was an elder
~ lady at one of the tables in
the dining car eating her dinner
when the wreck occurred. She
had a large: slice of bread in her
hand when the car was thrown
off the track. She was shot
down the aisle to the door
where the conductor happened
ed to be. The old lady still
hanging on to her bread, looked
up and said, "Mr. Conductor,
what are we stopping here for"
The second wreck was pulled
off the same afternoon when No.
"a went into the ditch about
half a mile this side of the big
bridge ut Minot. No one was
hurt. The passengers where
those transferred from No. 2 and
they must have thought that
.Jinl Hill was after their scalp.
Friday east bound number ~
was wrecked at Glasgow and
again the passengers escaped
with a few sleight bruises.
New Years day number one,
the west bound flyer was wreck
ed at Macon, Mont. The entire
train with the exceptions Of the
observation car and one bag
gage car left the track. Three
or four passenger were injured.
The wreck prevented trains from
passing for about twenty four
hours and Number three, west
bound, Tuesday, went as far as
the wreck and then returned.
Bringing passengers from the
trains from the west.
1t was reported yesterday
morning that number five, the
local had arrived without being
wrecked but we will not vouch
for the truth of the story.

Fifty. Killed
In Collision
Collision Kills Fifty Three and
Wounds 60 People on Way
to National Capitol

Washington, D. G. Dec. 81
Fifty three lives snuffed out with
the old year is the sad tale of a
wreck on the B; ltimore & Ohio
railroad at Terracotta, D. c., a
block station three miles from
the capitol city last night. The
wreck was caused by an engine
drawing eight empty cars into
local No. sc known as the Fred
erick Express just as the passen-
ger had pulled out of the station
bound for this city. Engineer
Hildebrand who was in charge
of the dead" train and who
was arrested shortly after
the disaster declared that on ac-
count of the dense fog he was
unable to distinguish the signal
light at Tacoma Park block sta
ton. The tower operator Phil
lips declares that the danger sig
nal was in it's proper place and
that Hildebrand's engine passed
the tower station going at a
speed of from SO to 60 miles an
hour. The most conservative
estimate Of the dead tonight is
fifty three with three scores of
injured in the hospitals or at
their homes suffering from the
wounds and fractures sustained
in the rear end collision which
completely demolished two days

ed to the local Frederick, Md.

most seriously injured are ex-
pected to die during the night
and the death list may yet reach
sixty or more.

on so many contested fields.
In the meantime another brigade
OF the division moved to the support
of the little brigade, when it was
made known for the first time along
the line that General Stuart had been
shot and was perhaps dead in the
hands of the enemy. The effect of
these tidings upon a body of men al
ready overpowered by continuous
hard fighting can hardly be imagined.
Deep grief, despair was pictured upon
the face of every living man. The
command was rallied and formed to
make final charge for the recovery
OF General Stuart's body, alive Or
dead. Captain Dorsey, commanding
company Of Maryland cavalry, re-
quested that he might have the honor
OF leading the charge. This was
granted. The charge was made
amidst fierce storm of bullets.
General Stuart was found lying
by the side Of the iron gray pros
trate, rational, but completely dis
abled by gunshot wound through
the center of his body. Every eye
moistened as it fell upon the grace
ful form outstretched, the golden hair
blood-stained, the long plume, which
had never been lowered by danger or
despair, trailing beside him. All en-
treaties to induce him to leave the
field were useless. He begged to be
allowed to die where he had fallen

That our love is not lavished in
vain;
Each germ in the future will blossom
to bliss,
And the forms that we love, and the
lips that we kiss
Never shrink at the shadow of pain.
BY the light of this faith am taught
That my labor is only begun;
In the strength of this hope have L
struggled and fought
With the legions Of wrong, till my
armor has caught
The CLEAN of Eternity's s sun.
Leona, look forth and behold
From headland, from hillside and
deep,
The day king surrenders his banners
of gold,
The twilight advances through wood
land and wold,
And the dews are beginning to
weep.
The moon g silver hair lies uncurled
Down the broad-breasted mountains
away;
The sunsets red glory again shall be
furled
On the walls Of the West, o'er the
plains of the world;
And shall rise in limitless way.
Oh! come not in tears to my tomb,
Nor plant with frail flowers the
sod;
There is rest among roses too sweet
for its gloom,
And life where the lilies eternally
bloom,
In the balm-breathing gardens of
God.
Yet deeply those memories burn
Which bind me to you and to earth,
And sometimes have thought that
my being would yearn
In the bowers of the beautiful home,
to return
And visit the home of its birth.
'Twould even be pleasant to stay
And walk by your side to the last;
But the land breeze of Heaven is be-
ginning to play
Life-shadows are meeting Eternity's
day,
And its tumult is hushed in the
past.
Leona, goodbye; should the grief
That is gathering now, ever be
Too dark for your faith, you will
long for relief,
And remember, the journey, though
lonesome, is brief,
Der lowland and river to me.

Quite natural for Democratic lead
ers in this country to say, "Leaders
OF the independence League move
ment are attempting to humbug the
people" 1t is necessary for them to
say something smart in view Of the
fact that Democratic leaders in this
country have raised the tax levy from
Is mills to 81 mills, for county pur-
poses. The populists in two years
reduced the tax levy to Is mills and
put county ON cash basis. The tax
levy for this year is 81 mills. In
other words it costs tax payers $1.5O
on $1OO valuation to defray expenses
Of county government under populist
rule and they pay $2.1O on the 800
under Democratic rule.
Chauncey M. Depew, in 1896, said.
"There are fifty men in New York
City who can close every door of all
our manufactures, lock every switch
on every telegraph line, and shut
down every coal and iron mine in the
United States. They can do this be-
cause they control the money which
this country produces" And
