MANY HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
Four Men Are Injured but Fortunate
ly None of Them Met With Fatal
on the Train.


sengers badly shaken up on train No.
Is on the Chicago and Northwestern
railway which left Kenosha bound for
Chicago at 6:31 O'Clock Wednesday
afternoon. The train ran headlong
into a freight car which had over
turned from another track a quarter
of a. mile north of the Waukegan sta.
tion.
The whole train was derailed and
the locomotive overturned and com
pletely wrecked. Only few Keno
sha passengers were on the train and
none of them was hurt. The pas
sengers were transferred to a special
and brought to Chicago, arriving there
at $3.50 o'clock. The injured either
were cared for on the train or taken
to Milwaukee.
1t was the second wreck which has
occurred ON the Northwestern road be-
tween Chicago and Kenosha in less
than two weeks. A week ago Sunday
train for Kenosha was wrecked at
Howard avenue, Chicago, and at that
time one Kenosha man was killed and
two fatalities resulted.
The injured Wednesday were:
Abbott, John, Chicago, conductor
cut about face; went to Chicago on
the extra.
Freeman, G. M, Chicago, fagman
head badly cut by being thrown
against door of car.
Mason, F. j., Chicago, brakeman;
thrown from platform and badly cut
and bruised.
Nelson, Andrew, fireman, 2071a Han
over street, Milwaukee; one rib brok-
en-; taken to Milwaukee.
A number of passengers were injur-
ed by pieces of flying glass, but their
names were not reported.
According to passengers, Engineer
Paul Faber saved the train from a
worse wreck by sticking to his loco
motive and applying the air brakes
when he realized that collision was
inevitable. He made no attempt to
jump.
The train was about to pull into
Waukegan at scheduled time-6:54
o 'clock-when it met freight train
pulling out in the opposite direction
One of the freight cars loaded with
corn developed hot box. The jour
nal of the car broke and it was over
turned, throwing it directly in front
of the locomotive of the passenger
train.
The engine plowed through the
wreck of the freight car and all of
the windows on that side of the pas
senger train were smashed. At the
first impact the passenger train from
engine to the last coach jumped the
rails and went humping over the ties.
Brakeman Mason was standing on
the platform of one of the coaches
when the engine struck the overturned
box car. The steps of the car were
torn off and he was thrown under the
car, but by most wonderful chance
he escaped being ground under the
wheels.
The passengers were badly brighten
ed, but were Gained by the trainman,
and there was no panic. There were
three coaches, two parlor cars, din
er, baggage, and an express car on
the train.

REACHES TOP NOTCH
Hay Sold at $17 Ton on Market
Square on Wednesday Afternoon

The price of hay reached the top
notch in fifteen years ON Market
Square on Wednesday afternoon when
a farmer from the town of Bristol
sold two loads at the rate of ST. a
ton and it is declared that the price
will undoubtedly go to 500 before the
end of the winter. Fifteen years ago
the price of hay touched twenty dol
lars, but it did not go beyond that
figure. The farmers of the county
evidently anticipated the raise in the
price as it is claimed that there is a
larger supply Of hay waiting market
than in many years.

HOPE TO BUILD sANITARIUM
Committee in Fight Against Tuberculo
sis See Success in Stamp Sale

Members of the local committee in
charge of the fight against tuberculo-
sis began an especial effort today to
get rid of large number of Red Cross
stamps as in keeping with the agree
ment between the state committee and
the local managers Kenosha is to re-
ceive one-half of III the money secur-
ed by the sale of the stamps. The
local committee is planning for the
erection of cottage to take care of
incurables and already the sale of
stamps has Melted about $500 for this
fund. The committee is seeking to
double this amount and for this rea-
son every one is being urged to pur-
chase the stamps. While the sale of
the stamps is. to continue until the
first of the new year it is certain that
after Christmas is over the sales will
drop off considerably. The committee
in charge of the work in Kenosha
hopes to be able to raise at least
81 900 for the new sanitarium and this
means the sale of 100000 stamps.

Mansion House as a Home.

During her residence therein the
Mansion house becomes in every
sense the home of the Lady Mayoress.
Pictures and familiar articles Of fur
niture are brought from the perma-
nent home to make the temporary
hearth as cosy and bright as possi-
bile.
One wonders whether the historic
associations of the Mansion house will
counterbalance it's gloom and charm
lessness, whether these can be dis
PEELED by such high thoughts as that
from the steps CT ones house the birth
of heirs and death Of sovereigns are
proclaimed, public calamities an
nounced, victories and defeats by sea
and land heralded; that here are felt
the throbs of the heart of the empire.
At any rate, it must be a unique ex-
perience to live in house-if only for
q year-for which one would have to
pay a rental-were it the property of
a private owner-according to pres
ent-day value of 10000 pounds, or four
times the entire Official salary Of the
Lord Mayor.

had the rerve to enter the dining

FIJI FLANDERS Sugar Cane Dance.

A very curious and exceedingly
clever dance may be witnessed in
Fiji, called by the natives "the sugar
cane meke,' or sugar cane dance. 1t
represents the growth Of the sugar
cane.
In the first figure the dancers squat
low on the ground. shake their heads,
slut their eyes and murmur slowly
and softly an unintelligible sentence.
Gradually they all stand up together,
growing taller and taller, and as they
grow they wave their arms and
tremble all over from ankle to head,
like the tall. tasseled cane waving in
the wind, and still they keep on chant
ins louder and louder.
The last figure represents series
of combats meant to symbolic the ex'
actions of the chiefs, who compel the
"kaisi,' willing or unwilling, to come
ard cut their crops.
