CAUGHT BY A LANDSLIDE
Freight Train Loses Six Cars-Train
Hands Escape.

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. IA ire
mcndous slip occurred on the main line
of the Wabash railroad on the West
Virginia side Of the Ohio river at the
bridge opposite Mingo Junction, O..
eighteen miles above this city, which
will put the road out Of commission
for several days, and in the meantime
trains are being operated via other
lines. The slip extends for a distance
Of 200 feet from near the approach to
the bridge, and is fifty feet in width.
Thousands of tons Of earth slipped,
carrying away the tracks and filling
the bed Of Cross creek, the waters Of
which are now flowing over a nearby
cornfield.
Just as the slip started a west-bound
freight train in charge Of Engineer
Charles McCabe was passing upon the
bridge. Engineer McCabe felt the
track collapsing and opened the throt
lie wide. The caboose and six freight
cars Of the train were demolished by
tie avalanche of earth. Several brake
men in the caboose saved themselves
~ running.

women Cannot Cut Diamonds.

"a lot Of women seem to be possessed
these days of an ambition to learn the
trade of diamond cutting" the New
York Sun reports one jeweler as say
ing. Every little while an applicant
for situation as an apprentice gives
us a call. But we can't afford to give
them a trial. They can never master
the art. In other branches of the jew
elry trade women have made some un-
qualified successes. Not one of Ewes
daughters, from royalty down, I should
say, that isn't an artist in the wearing
of diamonds. Many are well versed
in the tricks of buying and selling them,
while others give excellent satisfaction
In polishing and preparing them
for the market. But when it comes to
the real cutting Of the stones they lack
the patience. judgment and steadiness
of nerve which constitute the experts

The Helmet In the SchOOlrOOm.

German schoolmasters are said to
have had much to do with the victory
of the Germans in their late war with
France, and in this connection Sir
Henry Roscoe tells this incident of his
inspection of the professional school in
Rouen. France: Among the usual OBJ
jects | noted with surprise a Prussian
soldiers helmet. On being asked why
he placed it there the schOolmaster
stated that it was picked up in the
streets of Rouen during the German
invasion. Anu he added that it was of
great service to him. for when the
scholars did not attend to their work
be used to bring this down and put it
in his desk and, pointing to it, say:
Now, if you do not make progress and
learn properly this will happen to you
again. The surest way to bring it
upon you is to neglect your studies and
grow up in ignorance and to become in
ferior in intellectual training. The
display Of that helmet explained the
director, never fails to bring the blush
of shame to the cheeks of my students
and to rouse their patriotism and their
zeal for their studies.

About the Worst Spell of 1t Expe-
rienced in Many Years the In
habitantS Think.

Helena, Mont. Jan. lathe worst
spell of winter weather experienced in
Montana for many years is now pre-
vailing. Unusually heavy snow, espe-
cially in the northern part of the state.
and extremely cold weather is stopping
the operations of trains. endangering
lives of cattle and sheep. and even
menacing human life in remote dis
tricts.
Old stockmen say the outlook is more
serious for their herds than at any time
since the memorable winter of 1875
when losses were extremely heavy. The
fuel situation i'll many places is be-
coming a serious one, although the rail
roads are exerting every effort to fur
nish coal. There are more than two
feet of snow on the level in northern
Montana

MERIT IN Her Answer.
Amended Answer Filed in Circuit

Malleable IRON Co. Suit

Mrs. Matte A. Hauver Monday
morning filed rather super-heat-
ed answer and cross petition to the
petition of her husband MERIT
Hauvcr who seeks to be divorced.
Mrs. Hauver admits that they
were married on Oct. 30, 1903, and
charges Merit with extreme cruel
ty, gross neglect of duty and aban-
donment. Then she began to speci-
fy.
She says that Merit is dirty and
unclean in his habits, that he re-
fuses to keep himself decently
clean and in this condition occu-
pied the same bed with her, much
to her offense and annoyance. And
then too. if the allegations of her
cross petition are true, MERIT was
something of petty nagger.
She claims that he cut down the
post which held her clothes line,
simply for the purpose of causing
her trouble and annoyance; th
he locked the doors of the coal
and woodsheds that she might not
be able to get fuel; that he took
