SIX DIE IN RAIL WRECK
Two North Dakotans Among the Num-
Der Killed.

killed and five injured in a triple
wreck OF two freights and a fast ex.
press train on the Pennsylvania road
at Devils Bend, near Manor, Pa,
twenty-five miles east of here.
The dead are; Frank Daily, Of Irwin,
Pa, engineer; j. NJ. Uhlman, a wealthy
rancher and horseman, and J. Arthur
Bond, a horseman of Williston, n. D.;
Robert S. Milne OF Bradford, o.; II.
Beardingham, express messenger, Jer-
sey City, y. j., and an unknown man.
One freight became stalled and a
second crashed into it. Before warn

transported west on the express train

in tune with at least one member of
the quartette, the ladies' aid has to go
out and rent several robust oysters
and hold a social. If there is a noisy
and eruptive deficit in the pastors
salary at the end of the year, it is up
to the ladies' aid society to wipe it out
with a Is cent supper which costs each
member so cents net and a four-ply
attachment Of slowly dissolving ennui.
II it were not for the ladies aid, the
churches of this country would be
loaded down with a hopeless ministry
and first liens on the pulpit furniture.
Whenever a low spirited pastor wants
a new water back for the kitchen
range, or a set Of chambray curtains
for the study, he doesn't go to the
official board or the finance committee.
He heads straight for the ladies' aid,
and is met with the glad hand and a
rag quilting bee. Many a man who had
determined TO quit the ministry and
engage in plain and fancy plumbing
has been deferred by the sight of a
chicken pie dinner which yielded a
months salary and a s%prinkling of
neat social converse. When the
finances of a church have ebbed until
they back up against an 8 per cent
note at the bank, the ladies' aid comes
10 the rescue with well filled baskets,
which are auctioned off in the parlors
of the church by some j%ocular brother
with a string tie and a few well
chosen words. The ladies' aid is the
life saving station of the church, but
the only praise it ever gets is in the
form of kicks about the coffee and the
SOUP"

The gods on high Olympus safe,
Bemoaning fallen mans estate,
'I'll save him ere it be too latev'
Cried Jupiter;
And then, as if defying fate,
He fashioned Her.
He took a bud from Juno's hair,
A summer cloud, some vernal air,
And snow to form her bosom fair,
And stars for eyes,
And zephyrs, and a touch of care
To make her wise.
He took the laughter of a child,
A maids grace, a spirit wild
Yet innocent, a voice as mild
AS waters deep,
And whatsoever was u%ndefled,
To have and keep.
All things soever pure and good
By mortals known or understood,
All charms of heaIthful solitude
And social grace,
He mingled in divinest mood
To light her face.
He took the softness of the dove,
To make her gentle; looked above,
As if to catch the glamour of
Angelic art,
And then he breathed the breath of i
Into her heart.

School Notes

The sixth grade held a party at Mrs.
Mergers for Miss Satingren and had a
program.
Carolyn Froslie and En- anuel Stretch
entered B division of the Sth grade.
Emanuel Stretch was absent one half
day on accsunt of a sprained arm.
The Eighth grade b class have
finished their history for the first
semester and are now having a fine
review.
The German Ill and Nv expect to
have an interesting time Christmas. A
German program is to be rendered and
they expect to have Germany in Web
ster high school.
The German ii class is expecting to
present the play entitled ''Rosenstock"
at Christmas. Of course you all know
that when the German III class att mpt
anything they always succeed.
A merry crowd consisting of Eighth
grade pupils were assembled at the ID.
/. Williams home last Saturday even
ing. The crowd went out in a sleigh
drawn by four horses.
After a two hours ride the appointed
place was reached and when the merry
makers had cotton warmed up a bit
they were led into the dining room and
the nine couples were seated at a good
old fashioned supper like grandma
always prepared. The repast con-
sisted of roast turkey and dressing,
mashed potatoes. gravy, escolloped
oysters, cabbage salad, sweet bread
rolls, %jellies, cranberry sauce and
pickles, after the tea cups were empty
ice cream and nut cake were served.
The hungry merry makers We're
waited upon by the Misses Mabel
Williams and Hazel Palmer, of Wau-
bay. The remainder of the evening
was spent in games and telling stories.
All report a most delightful time.
The class in physiology has been
studying the vital organs of the body
their structure, use and how to keep
them in health.
Miss Lavinia Gross gave a lengthy
discussion on natures law in regard to
calling into being needed organs and
allowing useless organs to disappear by
falling to provide nourishment. 1t is
her opinion that necessity is the creator
of every organ of the body and that
when Its necessity has ceased the
organ disappears. She cited many
instances to prove her contentious.
Followed further she showed that
necessity has made the Chinaman
immuned from typhoid fever and many
other germ diseases. She was of the
opinion that the present warfare
against bacteria would lesson the bodys
power to combat these diseases.
The chemistry class is advancing
although the school year is not
half over, the class is over half through
their book, the chemistry note book is
also kept in order. This week they
have performed some interesting
experiments with carbon, carbondiox-
ide and carbonic acid. They found
that carbon is a very inactive agent
and that there were many different
forms of carbon. Carbon diaxide was
obtained by the action of h~ydrachlaric
acid on marble and its physical and
chemical properties were easily ascer-
tanned.

The McNamaras and Justice

Although Judge Bordwell refused tc
enter into an agreement to extend
clemency to the Mcnamara brothers,
he has carried out the spirit of the
compromise under which the pleas OF
guilty were secured. The elder brother
who set the mine that destroyed the
Los Angeles Times building goes to the
penitentiary for life. The younger,
who has confessed to ordering the
destruction of the Llewellyn Iron works
in which no lives were lost, receives a
penitentiary term of fifteen years from
which a few years may be deducted
for good behavior. Considering the
enormity of. the crimes with which
these men were connected the sentences
are light. Considering the great good
that has already resulted from the
clearing up of the Los Angeles case,
and the further good that may accrue
from the cooperation of the late
defendants in uncovering the other ten
tacles of the conspiracy, the clemency
of the court can easily be defended
from the standpoint Of intelligently
administered justice.
1t is easy to say that both of the
McNamaras should have been hanged"
The remark springs naturally to the
bps when one recalls the enormity of
their offending against society. And
the argument that they were nihilists
or fanatics in a cause they believed to
be good, rather than low minded GRIM
inals, does not materially mitigate their
offense to the normal mind. But the
fact is that If the prosecution had
insisted upon the extreme limit of the
law, there would have been no con-
fessions. The trial would have pro-
ceeded TO the bitter end. The McNa-
maras might have been hanged or they
might have gone scot free. In either
event there would have been wide
spread refusal to accept the outcome
as conclusive. The mystery element
would have remained for those who
chose to cling to it. The opportunity
for cultivating class prejudice on
account of the alleged miscarriage of
justice would remain wide open. And
above all. the chance for ~uncovering
the remainder of the ramifying con-
spiracy would be seriously handicapped.
From the public viewpoint the
important thing just now is not
wreaking revenge upon the miserable
McNamaras. The public inter est can
be best conserved by demonstrating
the power of the law to o and
smash the whole nefarious machine
of which the McNamaras were only
two cogs and the Los Angeles out
RACES only a small part of its iniquui-
tous output. In this important func-
ton the McNamaras, having felt the
rigor Of justice tempered by mercy,
can help. The understanding is that
they have helped, and will do more.
It u not good economy to kill in the
interest Of justice q man whose life
can be used to further the interests
Of justice in their wider sweep. Sioux

Three and one-half years ago a
young man was induced to enroll in
the Missouri College of Agriculture
because the secretary of the Y. NJ. c.
A., to whom he had written, told him
he could work his way at Missouri.
He came and worked his way. =. In his
freshman year, everything he had ex-
cept the clothing he was wearing at
the time, was burned. In spite of
difficulties, he will be graduated at the
end of three and One-half years and
take position on the faculty of one
of the agricultural colleges. Let the
