than which no more horrible complica-
tion exists. Thus for long time 1t
was thought that the natives Of the
Solomon and other neighboring Islands
used poisoned arrows. and many white
men shot By them died in tetanic con-
vulslons, Including one very horrible
case OF a commander in the navy who
had made special study OF tetanus.
AT length the French governor ot
New Caledonia, noticing that the symp-
toms exhibited were not consistent
with the use Of any known poison. ap-
pointed a medical commission to in
quire into the affair. when 1t was dis
covered that the arrows Of the natives
were not poisoned at all, although con-
structed In such a way that small
piece Of the bone point almost always
remained In the wound. The irritation
produced by this prevented the wound
from healing quickly, and the mental
disturbance produced by fear and per.
haps change OF climate did the rest.
1t was discovered at the same time
that the natives Of other islands who
firmly believed In the poison theory
seldom suffered much Inconvenience
from the arrow wounds. because they
believed that the spells given them BY
their own sorcerers prevented the pol
son from taking effect.-Pall MaIl Ga

TRAIN RUNNING AT 50 MILES

EMBANKMENT
MANY HURT---NONE KILLED
Broken Rail Cause Of Wreck
Eight Babies Aboard the Train
Escape Without a Scratch--Hard
Snow Breaks the Fall

BISMARK, N. D., Dec. 10. : The
wreck OF the west-bound North
Coast Limited at Mackenzie, 90
miles east Of here, last night, may be
considered one Of the most fortun-
ate in the annals Of railroading, &C.
sording to railroad men. The fact
that almost an entire train, going at
the rate Of 50 miles an hour, contain
ing more than 200 passengers could
mrn over and go down l0-foot
embankment without kslliug any
body is marvellous.
The train struck a broken rail.
The engine got over safely, but the
tender went off the track, followed
By the baggagecar and mailcar. Their
couplings broke and the three day
coaches. two sieepers and the obser-
vation car went down the embank-
nent into a deep snowdrift and
turned over without breaking a coup
Eng. The hard-packed snow saved
The train from destruction.
Eight babies on the train were
not even scratched. The most SER
iously injured are:
Engineer Aaron Remley, Colgate,

Long and the Kansas Language.

1t is one Of the demands Of the day
in Kansas politics that the men who
aspire to represent the state shall be
able in the terms Of the newspapers
to "speak the Kansas languare,
meaning thereby to know what the
people Of Kansas want and to be able
to look after their interests intelli-
gently. 1t is presumed that to be
able to do this the individual shall
have had familiarity with Kansas
ideas and Kansas people He should
have lived in the state long enough to
have assimilated the Kansas method.
II there is one member Of the Kan
sas delegation in congress who
'sspeaks the Kansas language" it is
Senator Long. He has been a resi-
dent Of the state for so many years
and has come SO close to the people
that he has learned exactly the things
that make him an able exponent OF
their desires. During the memorable
series OF campaigns between him and
Jerry Simpson, Long was the idol Of
the Kansas Republicans. He repre-
sented the best debating spirit OF the
state and when at last he won in the
Seventh district he was recognized as
one who had the right on his side as
well as being a progressive and sue
cessiul preacher Of Republication for
the state. There was no stint to the
praise showered upon him then and
he is as worthy Of the praise today
He made a good representative and
has since that time been In the senate
and has been the chosen spokesman OF
President Roosevelt on more than one
occasion, taking the place at the fore
front Of the legislative battlesN TO
carry out the presidents desires.
This trust has been open and pro-
nouncsd; the president has told q i,
has written letters that referred d.
rectly to it. No western senator is 50
