Des Moines, Iowa. Feb. 2e.-Engineer
Brown Of the Chicago, Milwaukee and

speeding along when 1t became derailed
near Van Horn. The engine and tender
broke loose from the rest Of the train
and jumped over an embankment, leav-
ing the passengers coaches on the track.
The engine turned turtle completely,
crushing the life out of the engineer.
The fireman miraculousIy escaped, while
the escape Of the passengers from death
or injury was remarkable. All that saved
them was the breaking apart of the
engine and tender. The first advices
from the scene Of the wreck stated that
the list Of casualties was unknown, bat
later it became known that only the
engineer lost his life.

THE SINS OF OMISSION.
[Communioated.l

Most men will readily enough admit
that they are accountable for what they
do, and that for evil doing they may be
rightly held responsible.
To say thAt man Ia irresponsible is
to intimate, either that he has lost his
reason or that he neger had any to lose
and no one wishes TO admit that to be
the case. So every man admits his re.
sponsibility, and isnists that every one
else shall admit it as we'll 1t Ii an ad
mission that everyone is free to choose,
and that we ought to choose the thing
that is right, in preference to that which
ia wrong.
Few seem ready to acknowledge that
thAy are accountable for that which they
have not done. There are two sorts OF
sins, sins of commission, and sins of
omission, and cerSespendingly two kinds
of sinners, those of one class positively
and actively wicked, and these Of the
other, simply careless, and negligent of
their duty. The chief faults OF most
men are the sins Of omission. BY none
are they thought Of as seriously as they
ought to be.
In the interests Of good citizenship, as
well as in the interests of the state, we
ask the men Of Barre, if they have ever
thought of the possible consequences to
themselves, and to those influenced by
their example, Of duties left undone /?
Therefore, let every good citizen Of the
city of Barre 60 up and east his vote
at the coming election, and yet every
man feel that his vote is a sacred trust
committed to his care.
A good man will be remarked among
his fellow citizens by his consciousness
of civic responsibilities; he viii be on
the side OF everything which looks
toward the betterment of the city; he
win be distinstly against anything which
hiBdsrs the wen -bsiag Of any cftisen.
The prosperity of the city depends not
so msch upon its facilities for making
money, as upon its facilities for making
character. The gead citizen is a public
spirited citizen He is on the side of the
city. He believes in supporting its indus.
trias. and HEaintaining it's COED name.
Accordingly, the good citizen is greatly
interested in the moral issues of all civic
questions He would have evil prevented
rather than punished. He is one Of those
who believe that Il is not well to be
forever spending meney for ambulances
ct the foot ef a Dangerous cliff; better
set good steut fence slong the top Of
the elih to keep people from falling
ever.

little Of Brattleboro for the alleged al

Of $4,000, and thereby hangs a story
OF unusual nature.
Deputy Shdiff A. w. J. wilkins Of

Doolittle does numbering on an exten.

ed in the suit are his daughter, Mrs.
Jennie Doolittle Crosby, and Mr.. Larrow

on previous occasions, once In Athol,
Mass, in December, 1905, when trou-
Bile arose at the Athol house, Of which
Larow was proprietor. On that oc-
casion guest at the hotel said Mrs.
Crosby came into his room in the night
and pleaded for help, saying That she
would be killed If .he did not help her,
and that he made rope of bed clothing
and let her out Of the window, but that
the rope broke and she fell TO the
ground.
Mrs. Larrow has four minor children.
She alleges that Doolittle contrived TO
injure her, and that on june 1, 1908, in
Guilford, VT, he persuaded her husband
to leave her and his family and cease
TO aid her in her domsbtic Affairs. She
alleges that Mrs. Crosby also con-
trived to iniure her and ALLEVIATE her
husbands affections, and that on JAN.
/, 1900, and at other times, in Brattle.
boro, Guilford, Holyoke Mass, and
Athol Mass, and other places Mrs.
Crosby had improper relations with Mr..
Larrow.
She says further that Mr.. Doolittle,
father Of Mrs. Crosby, counseled, ad-
vised, aided and conspired with Mrs.
Crosby in thus wrongfuliy knowing Mr..
Larrow, and that be harbored and pro.
tected them both, and kept them in his
own house in Brattisboro, knowing of
their rotations and weaI knowing that
Mr.. Larrow was the lawful husband Of
Mrs. Larrow.
Mr.. Larrow formerly was proprietor

D0RAND0 BEATEN
BY SHRUBB EASILY
The English Runner Held The Lead
Throughout The lS-Mile Rave at
Buffalo Last Night.

Buffalo, N. Y, Feb. 2e.--Leading his
opponent from the crack of the pistol
to the finish, ALI Shrubb, tho English
long distance runner, easily defeated
Dorando Pietn, the Italian, in 15-
mile race at the 74th regiment armory
last night.
Every American indoor record from
the first TO the fifteenth mile was
smashed. In the frst mile Shrubb took
commanding lead which he gradually
increased 10 three laps in tho tenth
mile. Dorando made several game ef-
forts 10 regain the lost ground in the
twelfth and thirteenth miles, but
Shrubb never allowed him 70 get more
than is yards away from him.
Shrubbs lead at the finish was 2%
laps. Dorando completed the is males,
finishing in a sprint that brought a
storm OF applause from the crowd.
The failure Of Tom Longboat, the
Canadian Indian, 10 keep his engage
ment here last night with Alfred Shrubb
was keen disappointment to the
Englishmen. The fear that he might
not get contest Of any kind was dis
sipated when Dorando Pietri, the Itai-
ian, arrived ready for a race and glad
TO get one with Shrubb under any con-
ditions. He readily agreed to sustitu.
10 for Longboat in fifteen mile con-
test. Shrnbb ruled 9 to 10 favorite in
what little betting was apparent Just
before the race began. One wager was
reported of $500 TO $1,000. The un-
certainty as to the outcome of the af-
fair on tho attendance which was less
than one half the number that saw
