at Carl Junction, Mo. 1t left Carl juno
ton at $50 this morning, and was due in
st. Louis at $40 tonight. When the
wreck occurred the train was travelling at
a high rate of speed coming into Car

Something Wrong With Engine.
Something went wrong with the engine
when sharp curve was reached, and
the engine darted off the track, carrying
the baggage car with it into the river,
down a tfty-foot embankment. All the
other cars left the rails, but remained on
the roadway The engine turned over
twice before it made its plunge into the
stream. The smoker and the day coach
also turned a couple of somersaults before
they landed fifteen feet from the tracks
and became stationary. The sleeper turned
over on its side.
AS soon as news of the wreck was re-
ceived a large corps of physicians left
from Carthage Joplin and other nearby

WILL TRY TO SAVE CRUISER.
Tugs and Wrecking Crew Alongside
Yankee to Assist in Rescue.

NEWPORT. r. l.. September 24-Two
tugs and a wrecker from the Boston
Wrecking Company were alongside the
United States cruiser Yankee today
ready to assist the cruiser in es-
Gaping from the dangerous position on
Spindle rock. where she struck yesterday
during heavy fog. 1t was not believed.
however. that the Boston outfit would do
much in the way of aiding the cruiser
before the naval collier Lebanon, two
tugs and a wrecker from New York
which had been dispatched by the Navy
Department had arrived. The collier
Nero, now on her way to Boston, also was
expected.
The same conditions as those of yester-
day a very thick fog and smooth sea
prevailed in Buzzards bay today. and the
steam pumping outfit of the Yankee ap-
parently rid the cruiser of almost all the
water which invaded the vessel through
holes in her hull on the port side. The
fog conditions did not interfere with the
work of salvaging, however.

that the typhoon caused a great loss Of

CRASH DURING A FOG.
Fast Mail on N. Y. Central Collides
With West Shore Train.

UTICA, n. y. September 24.-In the
heavy fog that prevailed this morning
the west-bound fast mail on the New York
Central railroad ran into a West Shore
passenger and express train that had
been held in one of the blocks a
short distance west of Little Falls. The
mail train had been brought to slow
speed because of the fog, otherwise there
probably would have been considerable
loss of life. The injuries are confined
to railway postal clerks. three of whom
were hurt. The severest injury is to w.
E. Gilbert of Syracuse, who has a broken
jaw.
The express messenger on the train was
slightly injured and several of the post a
clerks have slight bruises. Passengers in
the sleeping cars on the passenger train
were thrown about TO some extent, but
the railroad company reports that none
of them was injured

EXCITING AUTO RACE.
Thirty-Five Cars in Tricky and DAN
perous Contest on Isle of Man.

kClOuo SOACOoI oA ASAS VI 4AAAAA'
DOUGLAS. Isle of Man, September "a
The automobile race arranged under the
auspices of the Royal Automobile Club
was started here this morning. The
course is thirty-seven and a half miles
long. exceedingly dangerous an. tricky
and serious accidents are feared. Thirty
five cars got away at intervals of half a
minute. Ambulances were stationed one
mile apart over the entire course. which
is to be covered nine times, giving a to-
tai distance of 3371a miles.
Four minor mishaps marked the early
stages of the contest. but no driver was
injured. The leaders covered half the dis
tance at a speed Of about fifty-two miles
an hour.
This contest probably will be the last to
be run on a public highway in Great
Britain. Opposition to 1t on the part of
the general public has been strong, and
were it not for lack of Jurisdiction over
the Isle of Man the local government
board, Of which John Kearns Is pres
ident. undoubtedly would have prohibited
today's contest.
The authorities and residents of the
Isle of Man, however. were in favor of
the race. for of recent years they have
reaped rich harvests from these meet
ings.

Favorable for a Change.

But the main cause for anxiety among
the republican managers is not so much
a specification of particular cases of dis
satisfaction. but the general trend of pub
lie opinion in the west is in favor of
Bryan in favor of change and apathy
toward all politics and all politicians.
This apathy of business men is very
pronounced. Up to this time it has not
been possible to scare them about Bry-
ans election. They refuse TO be alarmed.
They say that times are hard: that they
have been hurt as much as they can
be. and they don't really care very much
who is elected They are not inclined
10 contribute to campaign funds, and that
is regarded as a very bad sign.
Now, all of the foregoing seems to
paint very gloomy picture for the re-
publicans. But. as | told you at the out
set. these dispatches are intended 10 por-
tray conditions as they exis, and not to

PRELIMINARY WORK.

Engineers are at work surveying out
the proposed extension of the ST. Paul
road from Berlin to Wausau They
have finished their work up to Poy
Sippi. In the latter town a meeting of
citizens was recently held at which a
bonus of $4,000 was subscribed to
have the road built by JAM l. Most Of
the people down in that section are of
the opinion that the road will be built
without any more halts.
The proposed line was originally
taken up in 1888 and partially surveyed
and then dropped for some reason 1t
was again agitated last year, but be-
cause of the building of the Pacific
coast extension it was again dropped.
1t is expected that the civil engineers
will continue their work until they have
reached Wausau. When actual build
ing operations begin there is hardly
any doubt but what the extension will
be carried through to this city, for it is
believed that it is the intention of the
company to some day have a direct line
into Milwaukee from lake Superior
That would probably mean raIffoau
machine shops for this city.
We learn that gentleman in this
city recently held conversation with
President Earling of the St. Paul Co.,
and the latter assured him that the road
would be built. There is an iron stake
driven at point between Scholfeld
and the Eau Claire river bridge where
this extension will strike the Valley
| division.

J WATER SUPT. REELECTED.

A meeting of the board of water COM
missioners was held Friday morning
for the purpose of electing water
superintendent to succeed Harry Jack
son. Mr.. Jackson has held over in
office since the last administration went
out of power, and the time had arrived
when, to carry out the provisions of a
city ordinance, an election was neces-
sary.
Mr.. Jackson's name was presented
and he was chosen to succeed himself
by vote OF 3 to .. Mr.. Jackson was
first chosen by republican administra-
ton. AS four out of five of the present
water commission are democrats, the
present administration cannot be ac-
cused of playing party politics when it
comes to appointments.
Mr.. Jackson is young man who is
able to get out and look after work
being carried on by men in the employ
of his department, something which the
department has been weak in in the
past. The commission, in appointing
him probably was of the opinion that
be is familiar with conditions in his de-
partment and competent and that a
mistake might be made by making a
change at this time.

HEAT WAVES.

For most of the time in the past ten
days the heat in this section has been
oppressive, reminding some of us what
we may expect in the hereafter. 'Is it
hot enough for you % The man who
asks such a question in sultry weather
ought to be driven into the wilderness
and never again allowed to look into
the face of human being. Crossing
the line, as sailors term it, when pass
ing up or down the coast of Ecquador
under the equatorial rays of the sun,
the hottest place visited by civilized
people, was thought of By more than
one Wausau person the past week.
There was one redeeming feature-most
of the nights were cool enough to sleep
comfortably.
On Wednesday afternoon lady sent
little boy to q grocery store for some
eggs. In carrying the eggs home the
boy met with an accident and spilled
the fruit" out of the sack onto a
cement sidewalk The result was that
inside of five minutes the eggs were
fried to crisp.
Had there been any wind one after
noon our people would have had cause
to complain of dust. II was so hot that
day, that the water from the city's
sprinkling wagons was evaporated be-
fore it could reach the sun baked streets.
A number of eggs placed under hen
in VIM Kregels hennery several weeks
ago and which refused to hatch, were
taken out of the nest and placed in an
alley near the coop where the suns
rays reached them What was Viii
liam's surprise last Tuesday morning
to find that the heat had hatched out
the eggs, and his brood increased by
twelve young Rhode Island Reds.
A gentleman residing on Harrison
Blvd. reports that a pet parrot which
has been in the family for several years
laid its first egg last Wednesday, the
result of the heat conditions duplicat-
ing the tropic cline which parrots are
a native of.
The hot spell, it appears, has been
general all over the Northwest and
reports of deaths and prostrations are
numerous.
A much needed rain set in Wednes-
day evening, doing much good every
where.

NAME TICKET.

Marathon cuuntv's social democrats,
though few in number, are determined
to let themselves be heard from and
though they have no hope of electing
any county officials they demand a
place on the ticket. The leaders of the
party have filed nomination, papers for
the following candidates:
Member of assembly, First district
Albert f. Becker, Edgar.
Member of assembly, Second district
John G. Chiber, town of Texas.
County clerk-Alex Archie, city.
County treasurer-Carl Brandt, city.
Sheriff-Fred G. Kletzine, city.
Register of deeds-Geo Chrouser,
Stratford.
Clerk of the court-Wm Schmidt,
Stratford.
They expect to poll few votes
among discontented voters heretofore
voting in the old parties. One of them
predicts that the party will cat some
ice in the coming campaign, and will
surprise those who ridicule it. He says
that the American Society of Equity is
being well organized in the county, and
that majority of its members will vote
the social atdemocratic ticket, not in hopes
of winning, but as an expression of
their disgust with the methods of the
old parties However, the votes of
next November will tell the story in
better words.
