Wreck Near Reuben Monday.

Passenger train No. 20, due here
at S:42 a. M, was wrecked just after
leaving Reuben at about 1880 Mon
day forenoon. The accident was
caused by an axle breaking on the
head engine on one of the long curves
north of Rueben. The head engine
went into Cow creek and turned
bottom side up. Batman was the en-
glneer and he and the fireman
jumped from the cab and escaped
with a few bruises. The tender of
the second engine also went into the
creek and the engine was turned
bottom side up, but Engineer Pey-
ton and the fireman stayed in the
cab and It is a mystery how they es-
capped being killed or seriously IN.
jured Peyton was only slightly
bruised and the flremen on both en-.
gines escaped unhurt. The front
trucks of the baggage car were also
submerged in the creek. The on.
gines ran about 20 feet from the
main track before overturnlng.
The wrecklng Of No. 20 caused n
delay of several hours Of No. 1S. due
here at 2;Ol, which did not arrive
until 9 o'clock in the evening.

In potatoes the process should De
reversed to bring about the best re-
suit. Water applied in the night
time has the best results for growth
OF vegetables and plants with special
value in foliage, while water helps
wheat best If applied in the daytime.
Also turn your water on the cab
bage plot at night, and on the grain
field or corn patch in the daytime.
II you raise a crop for fodder, irri-
gate at night. Fruits and grains
should preferably be irrigated at
daytime. If water has the effect OF
lowering the temperature OF the soil
if applied in the daytime, but will
raise it in the night time, we can
easily understand the reason why we
should come to results as above. The
foliage growth is actually stopped by
the reduction of the temperature,
but the plant continuing carrying
it's substance through root and stem,
is bound to carry to the top.
Along this line knowledge can be
had for every earnest enquirer, and
the reward for acquiring the necess-
airy knowledge is greater in this
field than in any other field that
the writer knows of.

Big Western Travel,

Railroads serving this territory are
preparing estimates Of travel during
the colonist period September 3 to
October IS. They expect no less
than 10000 new settlers for the Pacl-
fic Northwest during the 80 days
the low one-way rates are in effect
Extra equipment is being assembled
by the various lines to handle the
heavy traffic expected and the pass
enger agents believe they will have
all they can do to care for the flood
.of newcomers.
Enquiry at eastern ticket offices
is reported to be wide and the west
bound trains bearl,c- the vanguard
of this great colonist movement are
heavily loaded, During this week
the travel is expected to be at its
height and will undoubtedly be
heavy.

Stung!

While at work near Hugo on
Tuesday, Geo. Snow, Ed Gano, Ross
and Rowley Plumley had quite an
exciting experience with a nest of
honey bees. The boys found the bee
tree and thought they were going to
have quite a treat--and they did.
The bees saw them coming and came
out to meet them and the boys cer-
tainly were given a warm reception.
Mr.. Gano was the only one who es-
capped their indignation at being rob-
bed Of their honey, and he took to
the woods farthest from the bees.
Well, those boys were certainly
"swells" the next day and we leave it
to them whether or not they will at
tempt to rob another bee tree.

Street Commissioner Kuhl-
man Gets Busy and
Does Good Work.
ERIE WILL HAVE TO TAKE ACTION
Some Individuals Disregard Edict,
But They Will Be Brought
to Time.


Street Commissioner John Kuhlman
after having served notice 10 the public
in the newspapers yesterday that the
snow must he cleared from the side
walks. followed up his campaign with
little personal work. On the whole,
he found a disposition among the
property owners to keep their side
walks clean. He found 1t necessary
to serve special mott e on the Erie rail
road to clean its ,butting sidewalks,
and pointed ont a woeful neglect on
the part Of the school board to clean
the sidewalks surrounding its property.
Now and then an individual is found
who utterly disregards public decency.
He is found among the same class Of
people who violate other city or
dinances with impunity.
Mr Kuhlman has the support of ev-
cry decent citizen in Hammond, and if
forced to take some individual into
court for violation of the ordinance
he would undoubtedly ind a favorable
jury
All of the men in the street depart
ment are at work today carting away
snow, and to this number additional
men have been added.
Mr. KuhIman Is not inclined to be
unreasonable in the matter of cleaning
OFF all the snow. as this is practically
an impossibility when it turns TO Ice
but he does ask that the people sweep
of all the slush on the first warm day
