Vacation is Over,

The vacation season proper is over.
Those who now take a week or two off
win do so because they could not get it
earlier, and in violation Of the proprie-
ties.
Vacation is the accepted expression
for the time when humanity is supposed
to Chamber out Of the daily rut and wan
der over the hills and through the woods
and fields without thought Of tomor-
row bread and butter. Itis the time
when the nerves, and brain, and muscles
get surcease from the monotony Of life
and work only in the sheer joy Of Iiv-
ing, 1t is the me when the heart ceases
to beat in tn, petty world Of man and
joins with the soul in o praise 30 the
Creator for the peace. the beauty. the
eternal wonder Of His creations.
The vacation season is over. but Il.
has Left behind a renewed hope a
strengthened faith that though doing
the same things day after DAY and year.

TRAINS MEET IN COLLISION.
Engineer and Fireman Instantly Killed
and Several Injured.

Leaving Galena at 7:35 last Thursday
morning, the passenger on the North
western collided at $40 with a work
train on a curve 1000 feet north of
MiIIbrig. Engineer K. Thompson of
Madison and Fireman Jerry Gallagher
of Galena were instantly killed Both
were crushed in their seats in the cab,
but the fact that the brakes were par
TALLY set indicates that Engineer
Thompson saw the approaching train.
The work train left Montfort that
morning and, it is understood, was run
ming on orders to give way to all regu-
lar trains. If that were the case, it
should have taken the siding at Bun
combe or Days siding but instead it
attempted to make Millbrig.
Word was Immediately telepboned to
Galena for surgeons and several has
tened 10 the scene. Operator Roy
CHM of the Northwestern hurried to
the spot, and cutting into the line,
opened communications with officials
at Madison and Baraboo, who ordered
out the wreckers.
A throng Of people from Galena,
Hazel Green and Benton eagerly made
haste TO reach the scene in order to
render any assistance possible. After
realizing the hopelessness of an early
arrival of the wreckers, two hundred
willing hands seized the side rods of
the coaches remaining upon the track
and by sheer strength moved them
back few rods. A cable was then at
tached to the tender and 1t was torn
away from the engine so that it was
possible to remove the bodies. The
first body removed was that of Engi-
neer Thompson, which was placed upon
a stretcher and removed to the ambu-
lance. He was not so fearfully crushed
but sufficiently so to have caused in
slant death.
a further moving of the tender and
it was possible to remove the mangled
remains that had once been Jerry Gal
lagher. His body was horribly crushed,
one leg being nearly severed at the hip
while his left breast was so badly
crushed that when the body was moved
his heart dropped out, held only by the
cords Tender hands carried him to
the waiting ambulance and the sad
journey TO Galena began. The remains
of both engineer and fireman We're
taken to the undertaking parlors of
Uehren & Furlong, where the inquest
was held.
Conductor Zaniger of the passenger
train has a badly bruised side and pos
sbly internal injuries, but notwith-
standing his sufferings he stood nobly
to his pest, not giving up until the last
possible aid he could give was rendered.
The passengers We're transferred to
the Hazel Green accommodation and
taken north, the injured being taken to
Plattevlle to have their wounds dressed.
Among the injured taken to Platteville
were Engineer Jacquis and Fireman
Rhadka of the work train. Rhadka
escaped with a badly sprained ankle,
but both legs Of Engineer Jaoquis We're
amputated, one at the knee and the
other at the hip
