Owing to the character Of the wreck
much time was required to remove

Cause Of the Wreck,
The derailment OF the train was
caused by broken rail about two
hundred feet from the trestle that
spans the small stream The train
was composed Of two baggage, ex-
press and mail cars, three day coaches
and two Pullmans. The engine and
baggage, mail and express cars passed
over In safety, while the day coaches
and Pullmans were thrown from the
trestle into the creek and along the
banks some twenty to thirty feet be-
low.
At the point where the FIRST coach
left the track, the right hand rail be-
ing broken, about eighteen inches
from a joint, the rail was broken into
fragments for several feet. and torn
entirely from the crossties The truck
wheels ran on the ties until near the
when the outside wheels went
over, allowing the break beams and
axles to fall on the guard rail Of the
bridge. AS the last coach was about
on the trestle, che FIVE coaches top

Progress of the New Capitol

when the legislators arrive In our
city for the session of 1909, they will
no doubt be happily surprised to note
the almost rapidity with which the
new capitol building has been erected
under the supervisions of the con-
tractor, 5. II. Olson of Saltwater.
When one considers that two years
ago at this time, the foundation
work was all there was in evidence of
the splendid structure which is a
matter OF pride to every citizen of
the state, and which will err long be
the scene of the activities of the
state business, it seems impossible to
realize that SO much has been done,
in SO short time.
There was time when things
moved slowly owing to the inadequa-
cy of the law but the members Of the
session OF 1907 voiced the sentiments
of the population OF our state, and
made IL possible to go ahead with the
work.
Early last spring active steps were
taken and from That time, and espe.
cially since the laying of the corner.
stone last May, there has been such
rapid work done, That even the resi-.
dents OF Pierre have been able tc
note Its growth from day to day. TIC
outsiders it cannot but appeal greatly
for the enormity Of the work accom-.
plislled in so short time.
The building is so far entirely en-
closed except for the opening ovel
which the dome will be erected. The
windows are all cloth covered as /:
prot from the weather. Seve
raj times work has been suspended

A prominent member of the cabinet
has discovered that the reason the
fathers of this republic fixed March
4th as inaugural day was because they
meant that on that day many officers
would get orders to march fourth
into retirement. 1t Is commonly
believed that this joke was born
within fortyeight hours after the
est ablishment Of March 4th IS the
date Of the presidential inauguration;
and the fortyeight hours delay has
never been satisfactorily explained.

The Journey

A Christmas Card by Walt Mason Of the
Emporia Gazette.
A little work, little sweating, a
lew, brief, flying years; little joy, a
little frelting, some smiles and then
some tears; little resting in the
shadow, struggle TO the height, a
futile search for Eldorado, and then
we say good night. .Some moiling in
the strife and clangor, some years in
doubt and debt, some words we spoke
in foolish anger, that We would fain
f>rget; some CHEEKY words we said un-
thinking that made a sad heart light;
the banqu uet, with its feast and drink
ing-and then We say good night.
Some questioning Of creed and
theories and judgment of the dead,
while God, who never sleeps or wearies
is watching over head: some little
laughing and some signing; some
sorrow, some delight: little music
for the dying. and then we say good
night.

That marriage often brings dis
apointment. discomfort and disgust
may all be true. Unhappiness and
attaches fall to the lot OF many
couples, of course. But the number
of divorces that are granted to re-
lieve one or the other party to a
marriage from q mere annoyance, or
to permit another stalliance, is an
appalling fact. The question Of duty
is rslegated to the last place In the
thought OF thousands OF these
divorces. Their obligation to religion
and society are forgotten, and their
ofYsprings are burdened with a faint
ed name. There are thousands In
the world who make daily sacrifice
that the country and its people may
| benefit. There are other thousands
who practice self-deniAl and domestic
heroism that the world may not know
of family skeletons and that tht
children may haye.a fair name; ano
they are right. Ordinary Ills shoulc
be borne with grace and spirit, and
q man or woman should. think Ions
and earnestly before bringing thu
marriage bond into;disrepute.
