The Grade Crossing Tragedy.

A hayrack, on which thirty-ont
merry young persons were returning
from wedding celebration, was
struck by passenger train on q
grade crossing near Neenah, Wis.
early Sunday morning. Twelve
were killed instantly, one man died
later from his injuries, and eight
Others were probably fatally injured
A big bill board along the railroad
tracks obscured the view from the
engine cab as we'll as from the wa
gon. The engineer did not see the
wagon until too late to prevent the
accident, and the driver did not see
the train in time to stop the horses
Accidents of this sort are apt to
happen wherever there are grade
crossings. There are several IN
Cairo and a number Of fatal acct
dents have occurred. The most dan
gerous crossing in Cairo Is that at
the Big Four Railroad Company on
Sycamore street The railroad COM
pany has agreed to pay 100000 OF
the cost Of building viaduct.
Mayor Parsons. at recent meet
ing OF the City Council. announced
that the Traction Company would
be asked to share with the city the
remainder of the expenses, which
would make the share of the street
car company about 10000.
Three persons have been killed al
this crossing and on one occasion a
trolley car was struck by train
That all the passengers were not
killed was regarded as miraculous
by those who were on the car wher
it was knocked from the rails.
The work of erecting the yiaduc
at his point cannot be commenced
too early and steps should be taker
to eliminate all other dangerou
crossings In the city.

THE FALL MUSHROOMS.

During September and up to the
time that the frost appears. mush'
rooms grow in abundance. IF you
look you may find where they grow.
The delicious field mushroom. oy
name agaricus campestris. is found in
profusion In old pastures. If the mush-
rooms are gathered early In the day,
and before they show their gills
while they are yet In the button
stage). They may be kept for winter
use by boiling In a strong salt brine
and putting them In fruit jars; cover
with the brine and add tablespoon
full OF salt to each jar before sealing.
When wanted for use. soak In clear
water until sufficiently freshened, then
cook az desired. A few Jars OF this
delicious vegetable would not only
give variety to the winter table but
save much in the purse to purchase
delicacies not local
There is no dish more delicious than
creamed mushrooms, and to be able to
serve a company with this appetiztng
dainty In midwinter and not suffer
financially is worth while. Many anna
teurs are raising the mushroom In old
cellars, but 1t takes great care to
keep the temperature Just right, so
that few make a success at 1t.
Mushroom SaIad.---Parboil the mush-
rooms In a little water five minutes,
drain we'll and when chilled add an
equal portion Of celery and dress with
mayonnaise

Hart, former attorney general Of

As yet it is only a whisper, but odd
to say, the mention Of his name comes
as often from the Smith faction as the
followers of Gov. Brown In fact, it
is said that a strong Smith man was
the first to suggest the name of Judge
Har-. He set up that no man in Geor-
gia would prove more satisfactory as
a compromise candidate in the event
of a deadlock in the legislature.
This man further stated that Geot-
gia would have a senator of strength,
dignity and power if Judge Hart should
be named and he felt sure his selec-
ton would meet with the general APP
proyal Of the people, irrespective Of
their alignment in state politics.
There can be no doubt that the sit
