Discipline of Railroad,

A few weeks ago a heavy freight
train on California railroad ran into
passing switch with such great
speed and tremendous momentum
that the cars were hurled forward
against the engine, dashing them into
kindling wood killing the fireman and
conductor, who was riding in the cab,
and injuring three other trainmen. AS
the engineer was dragging himself
from the scalding steam beneath the
wreck he came upon the head brake
man lying in the wreckage with a
mangled leg.
The limited" they both shouted, al
most in the same breath, as they
caught sight of each other. The rea-

| limited carrying hundreds of passen-
gers was tagged was the first thought
of those two injured men. The sense
of duty which was the keynote in their
success as railroad men was para
mount at this moment when both were
suffering great physical agony. The
engineer was so badly scalded by the
steam from the bursted boiler that
he was able to crawl only a short
distance. The brakeman in some way
pulled himself from under the car OF
timber, and, enduring terrible agony
dragged himself down the track be-
yond the head of the wreck just in
time to flag the limited. In fact, the
limited stopped so near the wreckage
that to have gone farther would have
meant a collision.
The brakeman, with one of his feet
useless so that he could not have
walked in any event, was exhausted
| when he reached a point from which
his signal could be seen and waved
red flag as he was lying on his side
He was then so weak from loss OF
blood that it was only his determine
ton that kept him from giving up.

London, May 20.-With bowed head
and solemn countenance all England
watched today the taking of the body
Of its deceased sovereign to its last
resting place at Windsor. Edward
VII. rests now near his mother, Queen
Victoria, and his father who died two

thence through the pleasant Middlesex
country to Windsor, the route of the
funeral procession passed through
rows of somberly clad Englishmen, at
testing by their solemn demeanor the
genuine sorrow they felt for the final
passing of their king. 1t is day OF
official mourning, to be sure, formally
ordered by the dignitaries Of the
realm. but it is also a day of genuine,
heartfelt sorrow among the popuace.

Shallenberger prescribed a new pre-

earnestness and emphasis at his com

The last named method-bank in

the governors treatment of the situa-
ton. for in his address here a year
ago, deposit guaranty was held up as
the only means of accomplishing re-

The governors recommendation to
limit the number of banks in the state
was prompted by the address of j.
W. Welpton of Ogallala, president OF
the Nebraska Bankers association,
who declared in an address, "Our
State Association" that there are
some 900 banks in Nebraska and only
about 1,200 in Iowa.
"In the ratio of population, if we
have the right number of banks in
Nebraska, Iowa ought to have 5000

since the funeral of Queen Victoria
have so many distinguished men, titled

in one place. Many of them attended
Queen NictOria's funeral.

Of King Edward through the streets
Of London. They rode for the most
part with bowed heads, giving little or
no notice to the attention of the great
throngs gathered to see them pass.

sulemnly behind the casket, wore the
insignia of mourning and seemed to
feel that they were taking part in a
solemn. mournful ceremony. The route
