evidently for the purpose of robbery. was
made at Otterville, twenty miles east
OF here, at midnight last night, rail hav-
ing been removed. The bad place in the
track was struck by an extra freight train
from st. Louis. The freight was wrecked,

The train that the wreckers evidently
sought to catch left Kansas City at 9:1O
last night from st. Louis. 1t was known
as No. and was supposed to carry con-
siderable money.
The Wreckers had removed a rail ON
what is known as Otterville Hill, mile
and q half east of Otterville, and built a
fire between the tracks. to bring the pa s.
senger train to a standstill. The freight
crew failed to notice the fire until close
upon it and too late to stop and the en-
CINE and seven cars were derailed and
badly demolished.
Three members Of the crew were serious
ly injured.
They are Robert H. johnson, engineer;
Eugene Reagan, fireman; Hugh Harvey,
head brakeman.
The injured were brought to the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Missouri. Kansas and
Texas Hospital, at Sedalia, for treatment.
No one was permitted to see the men,
and 1t was impossible to learn their exact
condition or to get a story from them.
1t is known. however, they were seriously
injured. Missouri Pacific officials here
say that they have no clue to the would
be robbers.

voted to storage passengers on ocean

was today called up by Senator Lodge
and passed by the Senate. The act Is to
take effect January 1. 1902

conditions of immigrants In relation to

age passengers will have better accomo-

the useless by-product of the sugar
refineries may in a few years revol-
utionize country road building, create
demand for more extended roads in
the States where those products are
most easily to be had, and add mill
ions to the wealth of the country by
putting a cash value on hitherto waste
material.
While experts are 1aboring with
these unique material experiments in
East, South and Middle West, another
scientist, also from the Office of Public
Roads, is engaged at Independence,
Kansas, in trying to devise a method
of constructing oiled roads analogous
to the methods which have produced
the famous oiled roads of Southern
California He is mixing heavy oils
possessing pronounced asphaltic basis
with natural soil and sand, and COM
pacting the preparation so forced with
tamping roller One stretch of this
peculiar class of highway will be un-
der construction Within a few days.
The oiled roads of California have
saved millions of dollars to the
farmers and fruit growers of that fer
| tile State in the last few years by sup
pressing the dust that formerly arose
in binding clouds with the passing of
every vehicle. Those dust clouds,
floating to adjacent fields and orch
ards, depresiated the price of farm
produce and lowered the value of real
estate to q startling degre. The
sprinkling of oil was tried and the dust
was held in check. Then some of the
roads were plowed and the oil mixed
with the earth and the mass firmly
rolled to a properly crowned surface.
Splendid results followed in most in
stances.
Kansas has long been dust-ridden
and the oiled roads now to be built
there will, it is hoped, prove as bene-
! fetal to the people of that common
wealth as the California roads have to
that State.
There is now in course of prepa-
ration a comprehensive treatment on
dust prevention which will fall from
the presses of the Government Print
ing Office in few days. Following it
in few weeks will be symposium
emDodying the experiments of all
State highway commissioners, park
boards and city engineers who have
done work along these lines. Their
views and findings will be supplement-
ed by the reports of federal public
road expert, who has carefully ex-
amined the methods now in use in

Amendino a Picture.

An eminent French art collector once
bought at the Hotel Drouot landscape
by noted "impressionist," which he
showed, with much pride In his pur-
chase, to an artist friend.
''But 1 think" quoth he, that the
picture lacks animation; it wants per-
sonages. Now, if you would paint for
me man or woman on that road that
runs through the middle OF the land
scape it would greatly improve the pic
ture"
"That is easily DONE" said the artist.
So he carried off the painting and sent
it back in q week or two with the fig
ure of an old peasant woman going to
market, with her basket and her red
umbrella, introduced on the road in
question, to the great satisfaction of
the pictures proprietor. Meeting short
ly after with the impression rt'' who
had painted it, the artist remarked:
81 had the audacity to alter a land
scape of yours belonging to NJ. K, the
other day. I painted an old peasant
woman walking down the road"
"Down the road? remember no
work Of mine with road in it. I
should like to see the picture and Judge
of the effect of your alteration"
So the artist carried him off to NJ.

The boy stopped, and the spell was
broken. but another lad broke the ST.
lence.
'aThat last was pretty. Dune" he
called. "Play 'er agin."
The willing musician complied, and
Behman rose to his feet. He could
not sit still under that music, and he
took few nervous turns up and down
the deck.
He came to rest beside the rail, so
close that he could reach out and
touch the girl had he desired.
She had removed her glove, and one
bare hand rested white against the
white Of the rail Her face was turn
ed from him, and she was looking out
across the sound, pretending an inter
est in one of the winking beacons
whose lights she could not see through
her tears.
The young musician ended his tune
and without pause began to play an
other. a farewell song that had been
familiar to Behman since his child
hood.
He knew that it was fayorite OF
Nell's. and he wondered II the song
would make her speak. There was
lift to the fragile shoulders. as though
she was holding back her sobs. but she
gave no sign of being aware of his
presence.
The music paused abruptly in the
middle Of a strain. as the mother of
the player came to call him to bed, and
with shout the little party hurried
into the cabin.
Nell paused a moment, then turned
as though to go, but hand rested
over her own and held the slender fin
gers firmly with a grip that panied.
'Don't go, Nell" pleaded Behman.
"Stay here and make up"
''I thought that you would not even
compromise" she said uncertainty.
Compromise be hanged?' he cried.
81 don't care what you think Of me.
I'm tired of waiting for you to be the
first to speak. VIII you be friends,
dear?''
He felt the relaxation Of her atti-
tude. and he drew her within the cir
Gle of his arm.
"Is that the way you treat your
friendsY' she demanded, with laugh.
''That's the way I treat bad little
girls he explained. "I've been bad
too. If you want to punish me, Why
He paused suggestively, but Nell only
tapped his bronzed cheek with her
hand.

to break your no compromise declara-

the fervent assertion. II enjoyed it.
