DEAD IN MISSOURI WRECK
PASSENGER TRAINS COLLIDE
HEAD-ON AT kNOBNOSTER.
Nine Persons Were Killed and at
Least SO Others Were
Injured.

Knobnoster, Mo-, July 3.-The fast
California special train from st. Louis
on the Missouri Pacific railroad col.
lided with the equally fast st. Louis
train from Kansas City two miles east
of here at $50 o'clock Thursday
morning. Nine persons were killed,
all on the train from Kansas City
and at least SO were injured.
The dead: Michael j. Burk, line
nan for Western Union Telegraph
company, % years old, Poplar Bluff,
Mo- S. r. Inglish, lumberman, Olean,
Mo-, and representative of Miller
county; Fred Story, lineman Western
Union Telegraph company, Franklin,
KY; w. j. Frisbie, 1919 South Thir-
teenth street, ST. Louis, salesman for
Roberts, Rand Shoe company; John
Hood, Hurley, Mo-, lineman; w. H.
Harding, negro, mail clerk, st. Louis;
Baggageman Campbell of Jefferson
City and two assistants.
A. Strang, train dispatcher at Soda
liza, issued an order for the trains to
meet at Knobnoster Later this order
was changed and the meeting place
fixed at Lamonte, seven miles east of
here. When the st. Louis train reached
Lamonte another train was on the sid
ing and the westbound train passed
through LamoL,e, apparently without
stacking speed. Whether the dis
patcher at Sedalia failed to deliver the
train order to the crew of the st. Louis
train or the operator at Lamonte erred
in not tagging the train, or the en-
gineer of the ST. Louis train believed
the train on the siding was the one he
was to meet, is a matter for official
investigation.
Both engineers reversed their en-
gines and jumped. The impact of the
two engines threw both of the engines
off the track. The cars piled up on
the wreckage, four cars on the st
Louis train and three cars on the train
from Kansas City leaving the rails
While both of the big engines were de-
rallied, neither turned over. Two of
the cars on the train from Kansas City
were new type steel mail cars. Both
were derailed and badly damaged

Which is Right?

Every time a big building is put up
one is struck with the prodigious mul,
tiplication of land by the imposing of
one story upon another. A lot 100
feet square can be multiplied by this
device into one containing 100000
square feet of space. Can it? It
can, but it isn't. About one-fourth
of the ground is not built upon at all
Why not? For the simple little rea-
son that space has to be left for light
and air to enter the building. Forty
thousand square feet are absolutely
sacrificed just for light and air. II
isn't very good light nor very nice air.
but such as it is the owner has tc
have it.
When capitalists understand this
principle and accept it at such nota-
BILE sacrifice in their building opera
tons, why shouldn't the whole public
accept it on a wider scale for the
whole community? Why should it be
considered good policy to have every
downtown lot built upon if it Isl not
good policy to have all those lots built
entirely over? Doesn't the public
need some reserve air and light
spaces s?-Minneapolis Journal.

THE BIRDS NEST.

A little bird was looking about one
time for a place to build her nest.
All the trees were too sunny, and
she thought their scanty leaves would
not protect her nest from the rain
storms that were sure to come. So
she flew along the fences, but she
did not like to build underneath the
rails for fear some naughty boys
might come along, discover her nest
and destroy it. Finally, as she was
flying up a ravine, either side OF
which was thickly timbered, she came
to a ledge of rock that projected for
| ward right in the centre of it. There
was such a fine place for birds
home under this overshelving rock
that she at once began to gather
twigs, leaves, and blades of dry grass
with which to construct her nest.
Shortly after it was finished there
were four or five little blue eggs In it.
The bird was very proud of them,
and one day she began to set on the
nest that she might hatch some wee
brides.
She had been on the nest only
few days when it began to rain. The
ravine was filled, and the water went
roaring and splashing over the ledge
of rock At first the little bird was
very much frightened, for she
thought she and her nest might be
destroyed. But not so. She was
safely sheltered beneath the rock.
Not a drop of water touched her
or the nest, and soon she rested as
peacefully as ever.-W. D. Neale, in
MayfioMer.

of the track OF ships, it was only too
clear that starvation was bound to
come in time unless help could be
brought from somewhere. Accord
ingly Captain Sicard decided to fit out
one of the small boats that escaped
the wreck and let a volunteer crew
try to take her to the Hawaiian ISL
ands-1200 miles distant-to get re-
lief. Out of the volunteer officers
and men who instantly pressed for
ward Lieutenant ]. G. Talbot and
four seamen were selected to under
take the long and perilous journey.
The boat was fitted out with all the
care possible under the conditions,
containing a few necessary instru-
ments, twenty-five days provisions
and ninety gallons of water, and
three weeks after the wreck of the
Saginaw the little gig spread sail and
disappeared below the horizon, fol-
lowed by anxious eyes.
Meanwhile Captain Sicard had be-
gun work on larger boat out of the
material in the wreck of the Saginaw,
for the double purpose of gaining an
other chance of rescue and of keep
ing the men occupied. 1t was very
difficult work, and officers and men
toiled together manfully, but owing
to the wretched food fully one-third
of the number were always on the
sick list. Finally, at the end of the
second month, it began to look as If
the little boat had been lost, and the
remaining chances of escape were
small indeed. But about in the af-
ternoon of January 8, 1871, the look
out perched on top of the signal mast
shouted, "a steamers smoke!" and a
great cry of joy went up from the
camp. The little gig had succeeded

to be Hawaiian steamer dispatched

BOYLE OF ARRAH.

The recent death, in his eighty
sixth year, of Boyle of Arrah" re-
moves one of the few survivors, if
there are any left, of one of the con-
spicuously gallant exploits of the
great mutiny in India. Richard vi
cars Boyle, to give him his proper
name, and proper fighting name it
is, was at the outbreak of the iAutiny
an engineer in charge of the construc-
ton of the East Indian Railway at
Arrah, which is in northern Bengal.
At the first rumor of the outbreak
the women and children were sent to
Dinapore, and the fifteen Englishmen
and Eurasians, supplemented by fifty
faithful Sikhs, shut themselves up in
Boyle's bungalow. Herwald Wake,
magistrate of the district, took
charge, and left record of the siege
writted on the white-washed walls,
lin case we should be scragged" The
rebels had cannon, and the attack
was fierce, but the little garrison held
out from July % till August 2, when
Vincent Eyre defeated the natives
and relieved the siege. Boyle, who
was the strategist and engineer of
the defense, planning Notifications
with great skill, was made a compan-
ion of the order of the Star of India,
the neighborhood. And ever since
he has been Boyle of Arrah. The
Argo1aut.

proportion and out of reasonable
bounds. 1t is at this time that
complete renewal becomes advisable.
This can be accomplished without the
loss of crop, providing the work be
done early in the spring of a season
in which the fruit buds have been de-
stroyed by the rigors of winter, as
is often the case in all sections of
Ohio other than those bordering on
Lake Erie. Where annual crops are
the rule the fortunate orchardist may
cut back of a few of the branches
of each tree each season, thereby
keeping an adequate supply of new
fruiting wood coming on, low down
where pruning and spraying may be
easily done and where the crop may
be safely supported by the superior
strength of the short, sturdy, we'll
knit branches. Thus gradually the
trees will become renewed, there will
he no material loss in fruit produc-
ton and the fruit will be of larger
size because of the decreased number
of specimens to be developed

and half inches wide and eleven
inches long. Cut hole in one end
and paste the two lengthwise, edges
together, forming a hollow tube.
Then pin up the open end nearest thu
hole, like Fig. /. Cut Fig. 2, making
it about four inches across at the
widest point. Slash the lower edge
and pin this pipebowl in funner shape
by bringing the two sides together.
Fasten it on the tube over the hole
in the top by gluing the flaps down
on the pipestem like Fig. 3. Half

PLANS FOR THE GARDEN.

1 find the best way to lay out the
garden is to have the rows aslong and
straight as possible. This saves lots
of time in cultivation. We see many
gardens laid out in small square beds
with walks all around them. This is
all needless labor to prepare them,
and then it takes much more work to
keep them clean.
If the rows run straight across the
garden one can run the wheel hoe
through so quickly and easily that it
becomes a real pleasure to keep the
weeds down, and it pays any one that
has a garden to have a wheel hoe
tivator.
