MarshalltOwn, March 21.-More than
two score persons were killed and as
many more injured, several fatally.
tc&ay near Green Mountain, when two
trains of the Rock Island road, run
ming over the Great Western tracks
from Marshalltown to Waterloo, were
wrecked IN q peculiar manner.
The unidentified dead are in the un-

many so horribly mangled hat identi-
ication may be impossible. The Cath
Ollie hospital, railroad Y. NJ. c. A. and
apartment houses are converted into
surgical rooms in which the injured
lie moaning and %groaning.
Every surgeon of Marshalltown,
Green Mountain and Gladb.ook are
doing everything possible to relieve
the suffering. Around various under

with te8r-stained faces, ca h anxious
to get details of those within.

CARS ~TELESCOPED.

The smoker and day coach were
telescoped and hardly an occupant OF
either car escaped death or injury.
While the final ten cars of the train
remained on the track. the shock sent
the passengers sprawl ling from their
seats. Conductor Worst dispatched a
trainman back to flag the following
train. The trainman hurried to Glad
Brook and Green Mountain for aid.
Uninjured passengers began removing
the dead and injured. The dead were
taken to an adjoining pasture md laid
on the grass.
The relief train from Marsl a'ltown,
carrying surgeons and Coroner 'av
was two hours in arriving and by that
time the victims had been laid on the
grass in rows.
With heads crushed and mutilated,
in many cases beyond recognition,
heads severed from bodies, arms and
legs cut off, here lay a bleeding trunk,
there a head with the agony of death
on the cOuntenance.
A second rescue train relieved the
first after the first trainlOad OF in
iured were brought to MarshalltoWn.
Coroner Jay while fastening in an
ambulance to the hospital was thrown
to the pavement as he rounded a cor
ner. 1t is believed his back is broken,
and he cannot live.

Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1910-08-24

Of Omaha have become educated to a
high degree in the production OF shoe liter
allure of the excellence found nowhere else
in the land. The footwear industry is made
TO cover a large range of products under
that general head in Omaha. 1t includes
the product on and distribution Of shoes,
boots rubbers and variety of leather
goods and incidentals. This scheme OF
handling a large variety Of products with
out regard to specialization in no other
line has become so distinctive Of Omaha
as in the shoe industry. 1t seems to be
a proof that close specialization is not jus
titled in the west, IT, in fact, anywhere,
and that a big business built upon trade
in related articles will be more apt to
succeed and will reach vastly greater vol
ume than a business combining itself to
single article
with eight large dry goods establishments
in the city, Omaha is colossus of dry
goods Importance The city virtually
stepped into its greatness in this respect
without any remarkable effort. The loca-
ton in a territory naturally tributary ~
the town for hundreds of miles, and the
natural advantage over other cities located
along the Missouri river, was always
Omaha's advantage.
OF the enormous establishments dealing in

dry goods most OF the local concerns
handle the rug. carpet and many other in
dustfies besides the strict dry goods lines
The sales managers say that their business
is bound to keep on growing no matter
what efforts they make. or fail TO make,
because OF the rapid settling up Of the
western country. One big local house re-
ceived an order for a $4,000 bill Of goods
from a small town in Oregon, a sample
Of its business in that section. 1t is de-
clared the Omaha houses not only trade
with consumers from the Mississippi river
to the coast, but are almost exclusively
the distributors for the coast states The
local dry goods authorities say that a vast
territory lies close at hand, and that for
this reason as large a supply is kept per
manently on hand by their concerns as is
to be had in Chicago. The coast buyers
find it much easier to get shipments from
Omaha than from the eastern concerns.
owing to the less cost Of transportation
and get just as prompt service, owing to the
practice of Omaha jobbers in keeping a
ready supply Of goods on hand.
The dry goods business of last year in
Omaha reached a volume of $4,000 in
sales. This figure stands about third in
the list of enormous annual statistics for
the various local industries.

SHOE BUSINESS IS GROWING
Omaha's Contingent Trade Territory
Extends All the Way 10 Pacific
Coast states, which Are
Heavy Buyers.

Probably the first commercial industry of
Omaha to enter the western wholesale field
was clothing. This city holds its rank as
the market town in the wholesale clothing
business as we'll as in the scores of other
industries. and by reason of the years In
which that particular trade has been
worked up is stronger in respect to whole
sale clothing selling than in any other
The trade for Omaha extends from the
Mississippi river to the coast, in just the
same extent as Omaha's other wholesale
enterprises reach that field. All the big
clothing houses of the city, which includes
concerns which handle dry goods and which
manufacture them are out in open and
very stern competition with Chicago, St
Louis and the other great markets farther
east The factory output OF clothing in
Omaha amounted to S2375,OOO last year.
The shoe industry, both the wholesale
and manufacturing phases, is one of
Omaha's half dozen manstays. The flnan-
cial magnitude of the business is indicated
by the report last year that the manufac-
tured output reached $575OOO and the whole
sale business amounted to S2,3O0,OO0.
There are five big wholesale shoe con-
Germs in the city, all putting up severe and
healthful competition. The sternness of
the SlIlle LOT DuSlIleSS mas the effect, dC-
cordlng to the various sales managers, Of
booming Omaha to the advantage of all
Statesmen are being sent from the local
concerns through all the middle west and
coast states and the result is an ever
growing inroad into the business Of St
Louis. The Omaha market has easy access
to its material from all over the country
by reason of its central location. and has
territory at hand which iustifies the
carrying of enormous stocks, regardless OF
the demand from distant points.

OMAHA OWES LOr TO STATE
Growth of City is Due to Bounteous
Crops of Nebraska.
ONCE DESERT IS NOW FERTILE
Wealth Given I'D by Soil of state is
Greater Than that of Precious
Metals Mined All over
Country.

While Omaha has SHOWN marvellous
growth during the last decade it does not
claim all the credit to itself. but gladly
gives credit to the great state Of Nebraska,
whose bounteous crops in n large measure
have been responsible for the wonderful IN
crease in all sorts Of industries and the
J general growth.
The story Of the transition of the Great
American desert from the nome Of the
buffalo TO tho abiding place of beautiful
cities and towns and prosperous farmers
has been coincident with the history of Ne
braska. Where once roamed the buffalo by
the million now grows waving fields of
grain The transition had been of short
duration, but it has been swift and sure.
What was once thought to be practically
worthless desert Is now entirely cultivated
and Is producing some Of the finest crops
on earth.
Nebraska produces each year crops of a
greater value than all the precious metals
dug out of the ground In the entire coun-
try. The great difference in the two is
that when once precious metals are taken
from the ground they are gone, whereas
when one OF the great crops of Nebraska
is taken from the soil, the country is not
injured in the least, provided, of course,
lndN common Sense HleIUOuS are SlllplOytu
IN crops rotation and fertilization.
Farmers are yearly turning their atten-
tlon to better methods of farming and as a
consequence they are able to make more
money. One Of the chief revenues now is
TO buy grass-fed stuff from the South
Omaha market and produce higher priced
stock and feeding the grain which grows in
Nebraska.
NebraskA's Prosperity.
Nebraska enjoyed In 1909 what was by
far the most prosperous year in its his
tory.
Z Nebraska farmers produced from the soil
more than $500 Ooo.O 900 In crops and live stock
There have been years when more wheat
corn, cattle, hogs and other products were
raised, but never a year in which the
money value of the output was so large
