When Passenger Engine Tele.

KILLED MANY CATTLE
Fire Followed Crash and Made
Rescue Difficult.
Four Cars Loaded With Live
Stock Were TeIescoped.

Chicago. Sept. 2S.-Ten men were
killed and sixteen probably fatally in
jured early this morning when a train
southbound for Cincinnati on the
Pennsylvania railroad crashed into the
caboose of a Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul cattle train, bound for the
stock yards.
Sixteen men were in the caboose of
the stock train when the passenger
train crashed into it in the yards, a
few blocks from the downtown station.
The engine plowed through the ca
boose, literally tearing it to shreds and
setting fire to the debris.
Six bodies were recovered within a
few minutes after the crash while the
flames were eating up the splintered
bits of the demolished car. Sixteen
injured were dragged from the burn
ing ruins
The passenger train, known as the
Cincinnati special of the Panhandle
route of the Pennsylvania, left the
Union station soon after midnight. No
signals had been given so far as could
be learned, that any other train was
on the tracks. The passenger train
increased it's speed and when at
Twelfth street the engineer saw the
rear lights of the freight ahead. 1t
was too late to avoid a collision. His
engine crashed into the caboose filed
with sleeping stockmen with tremend-
Gus momentum The cabooSe was cut
in two and four cars in front of it were
telescoped. When the crash occurred
the screams of the injured and the
cries of cattle in the stock car attract
ed crowds of rescuers to the scene and
many men were saved from the blaz-
ing wreck. The fire department was
called at once and by the time the
flames were extinguished the bodies of
six dead had been found. That at
least four others had been pinioned
under the burning pile of debris was
discerna BILE to the rescuers. Many cat
tie were slaughtered.

MUST WAKE UP!
Declares Councilman Jordan If We
Want Commission Government.

Unless there Is an awakening in this
city cannot see just how the people are
going to vote for the commission form of
government" said c. E. Jordan, council
man from the First ward, and one of the
real students of the commission plan in
Topeka.
THE registration is uncommonly slow,
the enthusiasm is dying out for want of
support and the people are not receiving
the proper instruction. Preparations are
being made to teach the people the exact
provisions in this new law and in
hopes that these plans will be- carried out
at once. The whole sentiment. over the
city is that. the commission plan Is all
right but they know nothing about it.
They know from the newspapers that it
Is practiced in number of cities and
that it is a plan to put the. city govern
ment in the hands of few but that is all
they know.
Topeka has a chance at this time to put
the city administration on business
basis and conduct the affairs of this city
along the line of a $44,0O0:Ooo corporation
and this is just what Topeka is. The
people in Topeka want to know just
what the commission form has done and
what it will do-then they will be ready to
register and vote.

years old, but during the last seven
years she has been at the center of
the great English fights for women s
rights, especially in labor. She was
made secretary of the British
Women's Trade Union league in 1903
and the same year was appointed
delegate to the British Trade Union
conference composed of the labor
leaders of England.

woman member of the London trades

scme light on the conditions of working
girls in this country. Few persons re-

women workers in the United States
is less than S270 a year, and more than
one-half of the 100000 women engaged
in gainful occupations are under Il
