tor who has been yiciously attacked
by certain parties both in print and
public utterance will take occasion to
reply to these attacks at the evening
service. The following excerpt from

men were killed, another employe was
seriously hurt and three mail clerks
were slightly bruised when No. pas

The killed are:
E. B. JOLLEY. of Topeka, one OF

H. MITCHELL of Topeka, fireman.
The injured man is J. Archer, train
dispatcher at Newton, who was riding
on the ill-fated engine. His back was
badly wrenched. He was taken to a
hospital at Emporia. The mail clerks
were only slightly bruised and re-
NAMED on the ground looking after
the mail. 1t was regular Santa Fe
luck that no passengers were killed or
even hurt.
No. s left Kansas City at $40 Friday
morning heavily loaded. At Cedar
Point a westbound freight took the
siding to let the passenger train go by
The freight brakeman failed to turn
the switch. No. came along at ter
rife speed and ran into the open
switch. The engine was thrown clear
over the south track Of the double
track and lies on its size in the ditch

broken and was injured internally. He
died two hours later. Train Dispatcher
Archer was thrown clear over the

arcs as they are tossed from forge
to bucket. The men run up and
down the studded joists, elaping
over distractions as though they
were but STUN bling blocks on the
wide ground. They teeter as they
balance their swaying bodies
against the gusts of wind, which
usually blows strongly at this
height.
If the wind is gale they must
lean far out over the pavement be-
low to balance against its steady
force. If the wind suddenly drops
they recover their balance with an
effort.
Sometimes, when the cowboy OF
the air is in a hurry to get to the
ground he bothers not with lad
ders, but steps on the hook of the
crane used for hosting the steel
girders, winding an arm carelessly
around the chain. The electric
bell rings and the chain swings
him out over the squat city like a
ball on the end of a string. The
machinery drops him like a lead
EN- plummet.
Presently he comes shooting up
ward again, swinging lazily in
wide sweeps, one arm still care
1essly thrown around the chain,
'disdaining to grip the chain with
his hand.

New Hampshire Man MotionIess in
Bed 10 Years, Yet Cheerful as

ELLSWORTH, N. H., Sept. 1

Byron Avery, the village post
master, has body like stone. For
IS years he has not moved a mus
Gle below his head4-not so much
as a little finger. And the best
doctors can't diagnose his disease.
The petrification was gradual.
His skin is taut, and, with the ex-
ception of the face, is of alabaster
Wilderness. The face has the bloom
of one in perfect health. His
head is unusually large. He talks
through closed and rigid jaws. 1t
was so hard to feed him liquid
food through the set front teeth
that they were extracted. The
teeth had to drawn out sideways.
He is blind in one eye.
But he has well stored brain,
a keen mind, and hopeful spirit,
though he knows that slow ossifi-
cation will soon reach vital or
gans and cause death. He Is sure
that happiness in a future life will
make up for his suffering here.

can conceive of those who may be
even more miserable than myself"
he says. 81 try to keep cheerful,
though there have been thousands

can't move, the mere touching of
any part of my body causes me
great pain"
Avery has a strange power of
divination. He can sense the hour
and minute of the day accurately,
and Is said to have foretold future
events. He tells of the coming of
callers never expected by those at

Wet and Dry Fight On
Again at Puyanup

The officials have made no very
vigorous attempt to enforce the
law and in view of this fact the
"wets' believe the people would
vote to allow the saloons to come
back.
The majority of the people be-
lieve, however, that a dry town,
even with the brewery wagons, is
a big improvement over open sa-
looms. With the saloons, selling
to Indians and everybody else who
had the price, hop picking season
had come to be a tenror to law
abiding people. After the sa-
looms were closed there was no
more trouble with the hop pickers.
Hop growers say they get better
work now, too.
