Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1910-04-09

1t was an eye opener to the people
of Hopkinsqille yesterday morning
to see 1000 school children of all ages
and sizes from the white public
schools, reinforced by $50 from the
county schools, march through the
streets headed by brass band,
every tot in the line waving the
stars and stripes. The line extended
from the court house to Fourteenth
on Main and half way from Main to
the railroad.
The parade started at 1870 O'Clock
and it was after II o'clock when the
brief program arranged at the High
School grounds was begun. A stand
had been erected near the center Of
the lot, on the north side, large
enough for the band, the boards and
the speakers. The entire east end
Of the athletic field was given up to
the large number of automobiles,
carriages and other vehicles. The
children were placed Immediately in
front of the stand, the smaller ones
in front. On the right of the stand
and banked about in the rear of the
school children, were probably 20e0
people from all parts of the county,
There were several stirring pieces
by Lebkuecher's band and under the
capable direction of Miss Ellen
Young patriotic songs we're sung by
the great chorus of childrens' voices.
Owing to the late start and the heat
at noon hour, the speeches were all
short, none being longer than five
or ten minutes.
Prof. Barksdale Hamlett, Superin-
tendent of the city schools, presided
and after welcoming the visitors in
brief and catchy speech, presented
the other speakers.
Mayor Chas. M. Meacham gave
short historical sketch of the city
Nschools and the establishment of the
present graded school system Jan.
81, 1881 He told of the campaign
for the bond issue and the victory
for the schools Nov. 2, 1879, by only
&C majority. He spoke of the won
derful growth of the city, largely
due to the school system, and prais

BEL TRAM TO SHINE At FAIR.
Secretary Mackenzie Proud Of Exhibit
Which He Will Have in Charge.

II am confident that the exhibit
of agricultural and dairy products
of Beltrami county which will be
shown at the coming state fair will
equal in quality what will be shown by
any other county in the state," says
w. R. Mackenzie, secretary of the
the Northern Minnesota Develop
ment association, who is in charge
of the work of collecting from among
the farmers the grains, grasses, corn,
vegetables, butter, etc., that will
form the exhibit. .
In fact" says Mr.. Mackenzie /
feel reasonably sure that the judges
will be so impressed with the exhibit
shown of the products raised in the
northern portion of Beltrami county,
along the Canadian boundary, that
they will comment most favorably
on the showing made by section of
the state which was for many years
grossly maligned as being only
swamp and unfit for anything but
the reforestation of pine trees
II am daily receiving quantities
of corn in the stalk that are twice
the length of a sick-foot man! Wheat
that will easily 60 forty bushels to
tie acre, root crops that will create
covetousness in the mind of any
land man; apples, grapes, in fact, I
will have a display at the fair that
will open the eyes of even our own
people in Beltrami county,"
Mr.. Mackenzie will personally
superintend the shipping of the ex-
hibit to St. Paul, and will be at the
Beltrami county booth at all times
to impart information as to the
possibilities of the soil of this county
and its resources.

Stalled Train Struck by Sec
ton Following.
SLEEPER IS DEMOLISHED

Engine PIows Three.Quarters of the
Way Through Rear Pullman, Catch
ing Eighteen Persons Asleep in the
coach-FIames Break Out Immedi.
ateIy and Dead and Imprisoned Are
Cremated.
Durand, Mich, Aug. 26.-Probably a
dozen persons were killed and eight
injured, three probably fatally, when
Grand Trunk train No. crashed into
the rear of train No. IA, stalled on the
track two miles east of Durand. -,
Only one body has been positively
identified, that of Mrs. Alma Wood
ward of Montreal, an invalid, who was
travelling with nurse and her son,
Clifton A. Davis. One of the other
bodies has been partially identified as
that of the nurse, Miss Swinger~ of
Belfeld, N. D. -.
DR.. Fair of Durand, surgeon of the
railroad company, asserts that the
charred bones so far recovered should
represent about six persons. 1t is be-
lieved that the bodies are those of
four women, one child and one man.
The engine of No. 4 plowed it's way
three-quarters of the way through the
sleeping car Nebraska, the last car in
train No.. II, catching eighteen per-
sons asleep in the coach. The firebox
of the colliding engine then dropped
out and the death Joachim few min
utes was blazing from end to end.
Flames Destroy Wrecked Coach.
AS the flames ate their way through
the splintered timbers of the coach
the cries of the injured ceased and the
odor of burning flesh deferred the pas
sengers of the unchanged cars and
the farmers who had hurried from
their homes to assist in the work of
rescue ~- ~ T.. T.. -
The two trains were sections of the
Montreal and Boston express from
Chicago. No. IA, the first section,
passed through Durand at 1902 p. m.
and No. at 1926. The engine of
No. IA was having trouble with It's
airbrakes and two miles out of this
city Engineer Mitchell stopped the
train and with his fireman, got down
underneath the engine to make re-
pairs.
Brakeman G.. R. Graham of Detroit
was sent back to place a torpedo on
the track and flag the expected sec
ton, but it came rushing on at speed
of forty miles an hour and ripped it's
way through the Pullman car
The shock of the collision sent the
whole standing train a little forward
and Engineer Mitchell and his fireman,
underneath the stalled engine, were
severely hurt. So
The crew of No. IA, except the en-
gineer and fireman, are said to have
been hired during the recent strike
and retained after the settlement.
