TO WRECK
A FAST TRAIN
RUNNING BEHIND SCHEDULE 10
ALL THAT SAVED IT FROM
DISASTER.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. g. The
crew of l.. & N. freight train No. IS.
arriving here early this morning, re-
ported sensational attempt to week
the fast Nashville train, due to leave
here at 9 o'clock last night, at Flint.
ten miles south of Decatur The crew
of No, 1S, whose engine ran into an
open switch, found pinned to the
switch a paper with these words:
If you don't recognize the B. r.
T. and o. r. T. more Of these wrecks
will occur"
No special Importance is attached
to the note, even though the Louis
vile G. Nashville does not recognize
these orders. However, officials are
very much worried, as this is the sixth
attempt recently to ditch fast trains
on this road and but for the fact
that the passenger train last Right
was four hours late, II would have
struck the open switch. Oficials are
reticent, but the above facts were
gotten from railroad men today

KILLED
FROM FALL
NICHOLAS kINET DASHED TO
DEATH WHILE MAKING A
FLIGHT AT BRUSSELS.

BRUSSELS, Aug Sailing from
a great height, Nicholas Kinet, the
Belgian aviator, was Instantly killed
this afternoon. Only three weeks ago
his cousin, Daniel, one of the best
known of the foreign aeronauts, was
killed in a similar manner at Client.
Nicholas Kinet was flying at a
height of about $50 feet when he was
caught in a squat. A rear wire OF
his biplane snapped, and, becoming
entangled in the motor, stopped the
engine with a suddenness that turn
ed the aearoplane on its side. The
machine crashed to the ground and
Kinet was crushed under it.
His wife and brother were among
the witnesses of the accident and
rushed upon the field. The wife fell
unconscious beside the body, while the
brother, in a fit of grief, threw him
self head foremost on the wrecked ma
chine.
M. Oleislagers, who holds records
for duration flights, had a narrow es-
cape from death today. Through
some defect in the motor his machine
dropped to the ground from height
Of sixty-five feet and was wrecked,
When the aviator was helped from the
wreckage it was found that he was
practically uninjured.
Nicholas Kinet was one of the stare
Of the Brussels meeting, and had dis
tinguished himself at Budapest and
Rheims. Previous to this he had
made notable flight, last May, OF
nearly tire hours with passenger.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Aug. 3.-RepuB
lican Iowa wrote herself vigorously
progressive today in convention
which was most of the time in an up
roar
Senators Cummins and Dolliver and
the insurgent delegation at Washing
ton were enthusiastically Endorsed.
The new tariff law was branded as
failure in the light of the party pledg-
co of 1908.
President Taft received the most to
Did of lukewarm Endorsements.
A SOP of harmony was flung out In
the Endorsement of the adminlstra-
ton of Governor Carroll.
An attempt to use the steam roll
err" to make the State Central Com
mittee overwhelmingly progressive
was called off, presumably at the hint
of Senator Cummins, who was temper
ary chairman. Senator Dolliver was
permanent chairman.
The progressive majority ranged
close to 800 on every question. the
resolutions committee was progress

The appearance and disappearance
OF the steam roller" was one OF the
diverting incidents of the day, 1t
came about through the insistence OF
the standpat members of the platform
committee in demanding an unqualied
endorsement of the Taft administra-
ton, the legislative acts OF the reg
uIars" and hostility to Cummins and
Dolliyer. 1t was determined to exert
a little pressure just to show the mi
nority who is running the Republican
politics of Iowa. The primary law
which provides that members OF the
state Central Committee shall Dc
chosen by the convention, was fasten-
ed upon as the means to this end. IL
was proposed to disregard the caucus
selections OF the First and Ninth ais
tricts, which are standpat, and to have
the convention substitute progressives
in their places.
Attorney General Byers, as cnaui-
feur Of the steam roller, brought tnat

Here was the greatest of fields for pioneer research, and eight expeditions Belgian Scotch, German, Swedish and French-have brought home large amount of scientific information. Six of them-two English expeditions, led respec- lively by Scott and Shacketon, the Scotch under Bruce's command, the Germans under Dryagalski, the Swedes under Dr. Otto Nordenskjold, and the French under Dr. Charcot-have discovered new land, and two of these parties those of Scott and Shackleton pushed their discoveries of ice capped plateaus and lofty mountains far to the south; and one of the smallest of these expeditions prac tically has proved the existence of the Antarctic continent
 In 1904 Bruce of the Scottish expedition, dis covered Coats land far south of the Atlantic. whose coast he able to follow for 75 miles. and believed to be another segment of Antarc- tca. Scott in 1902 discovered Edward VII. land, which was joined by the great ice barrier of Ross to South Victoria land
 All these new-found lands considered by the polar explorers to be part of the Antarctic continent
 The south pole is situated Antarctic continent somewhat larger than the United States and with an area of 100000 square miles. The pole is on tableand about 10000 feet high. The glaciers of the Antarctic continent are of stupen- dous size The great ice barrier IS glacier 700 miles wide and hundreds of miles broad in places.
 The presence of volcano belchng out steam well within the circle of eternal ice is as much of anomaly the presence of an extinct vol covered with a cap at the equator. Mount Kilimanjaro, in Africa and Mount Erebus. which Lieut. Shacketon's expedition conquered, exhibit this marked antthesis. Mount Erebus is one of a group of mountains of which Mount Lis ter rises than 2000 feet higher than the volcano.
 It is probable that the south pole itself is bur- jed beneath as much 5000 feet of everlasting ice. On account of this altitude above sea level it's neigbborhood may be colder than that of the north pole.

Capt. Amundsen, who long has been associa- ted with north polar research is spoken of in connection with a rumored expedition from Swe- den, where south polar interest runs high and rich citizens have offered to help defray expenses should their nation decide to enter the contest
 The current agitation over the south pole is only the continuation of century of inter- est, beginning with the celebrated Capt James Cook, Lieut.. Wilkes, of the United States navy, and the continental explorers of the first half of the nineteenth century. No less than eight expe- ditons fitted out between 1888 and 1S43
 It is IT years since the crusade in England and Germany renewed for Antarctic explora- tion. At that time bits of land had been discov- cred, chiefly near the Antarctic circle, 1000 to 1,500 miles more south of New Zealand, Australia and the Indian ocean, and 500 to 700 miles south of South America. South Victoria land was known to be a large land mass but most of the other discoveries were merely short stretches of covered coasts. and knew whether they fragments of the north ern edge of a continent or only shores of islands.

 Commander Peary's ship Roosevelt will be used for the United States south polar expedi- tion, and the personnel of his recent north pole expedition excepting the commander himself, will take part in the expedition. Capt Bartlett, the Newfoundlander who accompanied Peary half way to the pole has resigned his present post in order to be able to command the new ex- petition.

 England will be represented in the dash to the Antarctic regions by Capt. Scott, of the British navy. Capt. Scott sails next June. and after win tering in McBIurdo sound will start in October 1911 on his land journey towards the pole, which .e hopes to reach by the end of December. The American expedition, starting from it's base in Costaland, will do it's utmost to make good the same month
 Capt Scott. who led the Discovery expedition, the best expedition ever sent out, will receive government grant, another from the Royal Geo. zraphical society and assistance from many rich nd influential persons
 The German south polar expedition has been ranged by Lieut.. Fichner, of the general staff
 inc army under the auspices of the Geograph- sal society. He is a welknown explorer and

Lieut.. Shaekleton and Capt. Scott both puzzled by the winds blowing from the south and considerably warmer than the previous temperature. Capt Scott wrote "The warm snow-bearing southerly winds which expert eneed have not yet been explained. Even in the depth of winter this wind had temperature of 10 to 15 degrees" This in itself suggests that there may be comparatively valley or region somewhere in Antarctica.

Civilization and Missions.

There is a question that is larger than government or trade, and that is the moral well-being of the vast mil lions who have come under the protec ,tion of modern governments. The rep resentatiye of the Christian religion must have his place side by side with the man of government and trade. and for generations tha& representative must be supplied in the person of the foreign missionary from America and Europe Civilization can only be per -manent and continue a blessing to any people if. in addition to promoting their material we'll being. it also stands for an orderly individual liber- ty for the growth of intelligence and for equal justice in the administration of law Christianity alone meets these fundamental requirements. The change of sentiment in favor of the foreign missionary in a single genera tion has been remarkable.
