Nantes, France, Sept. 25.-The trans
atlantic train carrying frst-class pas
sengers from Paris to Cherbourg, where
they were to embark on the White Star
steamer Adriatic, was telescoped to-
day in the Breve1 tunnel. Nineteen per-
sons were injured. none fatally. The
names of the injured are not yet avail

limbs
1t was a miracle that no one was

The train taking passengers to Cher
bourg for embarkation on the North
German Lloyd's steamer Crown Prince
Wilhelm. which was following the train
having on board the -Adriatic's passen-
gers. proceeded to its destination by an
other route.
This disaster is said to have been due
TO negligence of the crew OF the train
carrying the transatlantic passengers,
as no lights were burning on the rear
end OF the train and no torpedoes were
placed on the track behind it, as re-
Qu1red by the regulat ions when a train

another train to run into the passenger
train bound for Cherboure
The train with the Adriatic's pas

tunnel Owing to an accident to the
AOCOLuOIlFes the second section con-
tanning the first class passengers was
stopped by a signal when in the mid

The train crashed into the rear of

Farmer HAD A GUN.
VIM. Moeser's Thrilling Experience
While on an Automobile Trip.

The trials of a city automobIl1st IN
the country is triteiy told by e. b h
Remley of the Remley Lumber COM
pany who made a trip to Kansas City
yesterday in a car driven py WIlIla %
Moeser The trip down was made all
right and without mishap OF ad-
venture worthy of the name. but the
trip home was considerably different:
They had hardly left the limits of
Kansas CITY when farmer was seen
anproachfng riding a mule and lead
ing another and trouble CO mmenced
at once and increased as the distance
between the long cared quadrupeds
and the machine decreased The ears
soon as they caught sight of the mo
push no pull wagon and before the
machine reached them they wheeled
and started down the road at speed
that would have done credit to a
derby winner
The rider dismounted suddenly and
in a heap and he grabbed a rock from
the road and stood waiting for the
machine which was approaching
slowly As it neared him Mr.. Moeser
stopped it and by using his most per
s1asiye language managed to get by
without a fight. Just as the machine
passed him the ex-rider of a mule
gave the Hey Rube" call and from
out of the brush at the side of the
road a red headed farmer stepped
with a shotgun Ieveled at the party.
There was a hasty trial of the re-
verse apparatus on the machine and
the automobile stopped within ten
feet of the sentry who stood with the
eun at his shoulder. There was no
way to get around the fellow and the
spokesman of the party dismouRted
for parIey though the farmer kept
him well covered with the shotgun. Il
took half an hour to talk the irate
farmer out of his avowed intention to
shed the blood of an automobil
though this was finally successfully
ompIfshed and MOeser and RemIey
drew series of long breaths as top
speed was applied and the party
added to the distance between them
selves and the community of hostile
farmers Remley promised the farm
or trouble for his gun play and vows
that he will swear out a complaint to-
morrow.

AMERICAS MENTAL APPETITE
The Number of Newspapers and
Periodicals Doubled in 25 Years.

The growth of the printing and
publishing business during the last
fifteen years is an illustration of the
prosperous condition of the people
of the United States, and of their
very high intelligence. The printing
business in 1880 ranked tenth among
the big industries OF the country, and
in 1905 it ranked seventh, the total
value OF the products being a little
short of half a billion dollars. In
stead of being concentrated in a few
big plants, like the steel industry,
the printing and publishing business
is conducted by many large and small
establishments all over the country.
The Census Bureaus report of the
printing and publishing industry for
the year 1905 shows how the business
has grown Book and job printing
products valued at $4.50o.o00 were
During the half decade between 1900
and 1905 the output was valued at
s62.Oo0,0o0. The report ascribes this
marvellous increase to prosperity aand
natural causes. such as the use of
printed trolley transfer slips, tele-
5hone books. photoEraphing and the
extension of the rural free delivery
system, which has stimulated the cir
culation of catalogues and circulars
The three cities of New York, Phila-
deIphia and Chicago during 1905 con-
sumed enough telephone books to

Thfrty-four States reported an in
crease of over so per cent in the
value of newspaper advertising in the
fiye-year period between 1900 and
1905. The per capita value of adj
vertfsiug more than doubled during
that period. Twenty years ago the
subscrfptions and sales of newspapers
exceeded the value of advertising by
about one-fourth. Now the value of
advertising is greater by $24,OO0-000 a
year The newspapers and magazines
use nearly a million tons of paper
annually. about 100000 acres OF TIM
Der being required in the manufacture
Of the paper. This immense con 81
ton is due largely to the Increased
size of newspa pers, resulting p>.r--y
from the use of type-setting machines
and partly from the general prosper
fty of the country.
The number of newspapers and
periodicals has doubled during the
last twenty-five years The cfrcula-
ton of newspapers has increased 81
per cent during the last five years
seven-tenths of this increase being in
the circulation of daily newspapers.
The dissemination of intelligence,
therefore, has more than kept pace
with the increase of population.
