almost nine o'clock, switch engine,

and when the engineer of the passen-
ger saw the switch engine and got the
stop signal of William King, the night
union switchman, it was too late to
stop the passenger and collision with
the rear end Of the switch engine and
the pilot of the passenger occurred.
Just before the impact of the two
engines, the crew of both of them
Jumped to the. ground just before they
struck The pilot Of the passenger
was torn completely from the engine
and the frame was badly bent. On the
switch engine the air brake and the
step was taken from it and did mo-. suf-
Ter SO much from the accident as the
passenger engine which as told by one
of the firemen this morning was COM
ing around tae bend at the first locks
at clip to fast for the yards.
The passengers in the coaches were
badly shaken up by the collision and
almost all alighted from the coaches at
Main street to learn the cause of the
accident. 1t was reported last evening
that a travelling man was badly cut
by being thrown through one of the
coach windows but tais statement did
not prove true as no one had been talk
en- from the train injured or found in
jured and no one was hurt so far as
could be learned.
The train was delayed only about
fcrty-five minutes and the north road

capes in wrecks by the engine
jumping the tracks of late and both
feel lucky to have escaped each time
without injury. The engineer on No.
10 last evening was Engineer Con-
cannon who with his fireman jumped
from their engine, 40, just before the
collision but would have been safe
had they remained in the cab.
The passenger engine was taken to
Hannibal this morning for repairs and
the switch engine was repaired in
short order and was in the service
again this morning.
When No which goes north at 2:4O
In the morning from ST. Louis ran past
the Main street crossing this morning
the drawbar Of the crippled engine was
lying so close to the track as to tear
off the steps of several of the coaches
as the early morning train passed.
Pieces of iron and steel scrap were ly-
ing all around and a large chunk of
the curbing was knocked out by the
broken pilot.
Reports of the collision were sent
to Hannibal this morning and those
concerned await further word from the
offices at that place

Excellent Service.

The Gate City's election service
was excellent. Besides the Western
Union bulletins which formerly were
the only source of news on election
night, this office also received an ey-
cellent service from the Iowa Tele-
phone company, which received bulle-
tins from all over the country by long
distance telephone The Mississippt
Valley Telephone company gave
county news and the Postal Telegram
company also added to the service.
These, together with the United Press
report and special messages, gave The
Gate City prompt and excellent ser
vice which was the best and most com
plete ever received In Keokuk on an
election night.
The Lincoln club, which has been a
most active republican worker dur.
ing the campaign, received bulletins
during the evening and the members
were all in good humor. The Gate
City sent It's bulletins up to the club
room after receiving them.
The five telephones in The Gate
City office last evening were jingling
constantly all during the arly even
Ing. people calling up to hear the
glad news. This Office was able to
tell of Taft's election by o'clock
in the evening and, everyone who
heard the news over the phone ex-
pressed pleasure excepting one lady's
voice which answered back That's
hot air" She was invited to call up
a certain other newspaper office in
the city and perhaps was satisfied
then that the news was true.

Kansas Is the greatest wheat-pro-
ducing state in the Union. and is there
fore vitally interested in binding-twine.
AS a result of the extortions of the
binding Irvine trust the legislature of
this state, in 1898, made provision for
| the establishment of binding -twine
plant at the Penitentiary. The capaci-
ty of the plant is small, and for the
first few years the quality of the twine
produced was not very good, but in the
last three years new and improved
machinery has been put IN, the capacity
OF the plant greatly increased, and the
quality of the twine improved, until
it is now as good as the best on the
market. Other states have followed
our example. Missouri has a similar
plant, and manufactured about one mil
lion pounds of binding-twine last year.
North Dakota has a similar plant, as
has Indiana. Michigan is just installing
a plant. Minnesota has made greater
strides than any state in this enterprise,
the prison authorities up there conf
IDENTIFY expecting to manufacture nearly
three-fourths of the twine used in that
state this year. Kansas, in good wheat
years, when headers are not much used,
needs about ten million pounds of twine,
and every pound of it ought to be
bought at our Penitentiary. The ca
pacity of our plant is not as yet that
great, but if the patronage will justify
&c T.
meet the demand. Oklahoma also buys
extensively from Kansas. Since Kan
sas engaged in the manufacture of
twine the price has been reduced more
than one-half, and the farmers in all
these wheat-growing states are saving
hundreds of thousands Of dollars by
reason of this successful attempt to
compete with the great binding -twine
trust
Our twine is now as good, if not bet
ter, than any twine on the market, and
the price has this year been reduced to
7H cents per pound on amounts of 5000
pounds or more, and to 8 cents for
amounts less than 5000 pounds, F. o.
B. Lansing, Kan. This is the lowest
price ever made on binding-twine in
this state. If the farmers of Kansas
will give their support to this state
enterprise the binding-twine pant can
be made TO pay nearly all the expenses
of the State Penitentiary, and 1 appeal
to the farmers of the state to give
their patronage to this state institu-
ton. The price and quality make it
to their financial interest to do so, and
patriotic considerations should prompt
in this direction.
Address your orders to w. H. HAS
KELL, Lansing, Kan.
