WRECK
Over As People
Killed in
Iowa.

Marshalltown, Iowa, March al
Forty-tive persons were killed and 10
were injured, many of them fatally in
a wreck of a Chica go, Rock Island &
Pacific train four and half miles
north of Green Mountain, Iowa, at
S:16 q. m. today.
Thirty of the de ad have been identi-
fed The unident itied are in undertak
ing rooms at Mar shslltown, many so
horribly mangled that identification

The Rock Island trains, No. 10 from
Chicago and No 81. from st. Louis TO
Minneapolis saud st. Paul. were run
ming over the Chicago, Great Western
tracks, rs the Rock Island track had
been broken by freight wreck last
night. At Marshalltown the trains
were coupled together AS there is no
turntable at Reinbeck where the trains
axpected to strike the Rock Island main
line. both locomotives. coupled in from
of the compined train left here running
backward.
~ The Inflated train consisted of ID
cars. The Pullman car from st. Louis
was leading the train next to engine
No. 1909. Then came a smoker and
a day coach in which there we're many
women and children.
About four and half miles beyond
Green Mountain, at the top OF hill,
is a cut about 12 feet deep. 1t was In
this that the tender on the leading en-
CINE suddenly jumped the track. This
threw the head locomotive into the
side of the cut The clay of the sides
as soft, and the engine went into it,
stopping instantly. The sudden stop
ditohed the second locomotive and the
heavy train crashed the day coached
and smoker upon the Pullman. The
smoker and day coach were instantly
telescoped and hardly an occupnat OF
either car escaped death or injury.
While the last 10 cars of the train
remained on the track, the shock sent
the passengers sprawling from their
seats to the floor.
The uninjured passengers then began
TO remove the dead and injured. The
dead were taken to an adjoining past
ure and laid out on the grass. lt was
two hours before train carrying sur
geons and the coroner arrived. {.
The dead in many cases are crushed
beyond recognition. Heads are severed
from bodies, arms and legs cut off.

in the business world 1T is thought
that the boys have attained the

rules. They are expected to conduct
themselves as gentlemen in every
sense Of the word, and 1T would indeed
be hard to find, anywhere, finer lot
of lads Their daily contact with the
outside world has given them an in
dependence and assurance that in no
way verges upon boldness, nor yet has
it in any way robbed them of their
boyishness. They are simple, manly
lads who do infinite credit to their

much more satisfactory to omit the

swelling its fund.

WHAT THE BOYS RETREAT OF OAKLAND STANDS FOR

This is the day OF children. Never
before have they attained a greater
prominence than during the present
generation. Clubs are being formed
all over the country for them; they
have their Fairgrounds, their societies,
their theaters. Their styles OF dress
nowadays are every bit as important
an item to be considered, as that Of
their parents. Plays are being written
for them and the inflow OF Juvenile
literature to desk of the book re-
viewer is overwhelming Their parties
are conducted with all the nourlshes
and curlycues of mothers, and their
prizes and favors are every bit as ex-
pensive. Truly the children have come
into their own.
One of the most popular organiza-
tons for boys is the Boys Scouts of
America, about which a story appeared
in the Junior a short while ago. Here
the aim and endeavor are to give to the
growing lad the outdoor life which he
needs and at the same time bring a
bit of the bigness and broadness of
nature into his mind and heart. To
the boy who has lived in the woods
for awhile, out in the open, the trivial
things don't seem to count A lie seems
a very petty thing and absolutely un-
worthy of his boyhood. He governs
his actions by the cleanness and
sweetness of the open, and grows in
finitely finer through his daily contact
with the birds and flowers.
The membership of the Boy Scouts
is made up largely from the lads who
are going to school, who have homes
of their own, and none of the respon
sibilities of life upon their shoulders.
Now there are in every city in the land
little fellows who enter the business
world early. They are entirely de-
pendent upon themselves, and their
careers are ahead of them. 1t is up to
them to hew out their own way. Again
great many boys with loving and
thoughtful parents and comfortable
homes, spend their spare hours after
school at odd jobs, picking up their
first lessons in making money for
themselves. and preparing for the
work of the years to come. Now the
boy who has been busy at school and
at work all day naturally needs some
form Of recreation for his evenings, for
the ancient saw is wise one, never
theless, which says, "AH work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" Now
the question naturally arises, ''What
can be offered more attractive than the
brightly lighted streets at night?"
Over In Oakland the question has
been solved most satisfactorily. The
Boys Retreat is the name of a club
