just Before Dawn.
The wreck occurred just before
dawn when $50 passengers occupied
the berths and the one day coach.
Just behind the locomotive three cars
were piled one above the other. At
the bottom of the heap was the day
coach and most of the dead were
taken from this car. The wreckage
did not catch fire, but the hremen
chopped into the overturned cars and
assisted passengers to safety. Many
of the edad were so mutilated that
Identification progressed slowly. Two
babies were found, one with its head
severed and the other impaled on a
splinter. The positions of the bodies
of the dead were so mutilated that
had jumped. The member of the St
Louis baseball team, after assisting
the police and firemen in the rescue
work, boarded a special train for Bos-
ton at $50. About fifty passengers
also continued their journey on this
special.
The federal express ran with every
berth and eevry seat full last night
G. S. Rogers, an electrician sergeant
in lhe United States coast artillery,
who had heen transferred from Virginia
to Maine was travelling with his wife
and two little children Mrs. Rogers
was crushed and her tiny babe was
killed by her side. Sergeant Rogers
was seriously hurt.
Owe Lives to Nationals.
Many of those pinned beneath the
debris owe their lives to the prompt
ness of the members of the St. LOUIS
National baseball team. The ball play
ers were riding in the last two cars,

the crash came they piled out in their

HIRE AN ACCOUNTANT.
County Fee System VIII Be Checked
Up Since January 1, 1907.

Following the exposure of the fee
: system in operation in the office Of
Sheriff ]. n. Norton, the county COM
missioners today took determined ac-
ton and began systematic audit of
the books of every official in Shaw
nee county. Every item charged to
the county since January 1, 1907, will
be re-checked and the work will prob
ably not be completed for several
months.
One of the prime reasons for or
dering the audit was the general de-
mand on the part of the public in the
last few days for an investigation of
the office of the sheriff Not until
two weeks ago when the State Jour
nal uncovered the erroneous fee sys-
tenn in this office did the commission
ers decide to investigate the county's
business. By covering a period of
more than four years in the audit,
not only will all of the J. d. Norton
fees be run down, but the affairs of
]. M. WilkersOn, his predecessor, will
be given considerable attention Many
of Wilkerson's charges are known to
have been excessive and perhaps both
Wilkerson and Norton will be given
an opportunity to repay Shawnee
county some of the money illegally
collected,
Following the investigation of the
public offices. is a persistent rumor
that Norton's fees in civil cases may
be given attention by several large
litigants. In the civil cases Norton's
fees do not come under the knife of
the county auditor and are usually
paid by the unsuccessful litigant and
the public hears nothing of these err
roneous charges. 1t is a we'll known
fact that in one case recently settled
in the district court, that exceptions
were taken to the Norton fee bills 1t
is also noteworthy that when a liti-
CANT threatened to file a motion to
retaX the costs, that Norton lost his
nerve and trimmed his own bill,
doubtless fearing the outcome of a
battle in the courts.
Preliminary work on the general
audit was begun today by Johann c.
Koning, of New York He will first
canvass the books in the office of the
clerk of the district. Then the work
will be carried to other offices in the
court house.
1t is stated that Koning is to re-
ceive one-half of the overcharges
which he uncovers and collects for
the officials. Some complaint has been
made against this plan on the grounds
that Koning may become over zeal
Gus. On the other hands the commits
sioners claim that the system will
erely make their auditor work the
harder to give the county a fair audit.
Under the plan adopted the audit will
show up not only the record of the
present officials, but will shed light
on the records of several of the men
who have retired from public office.

Eighty-One Abandoned Rail
Lines in United States.
In Eighteen of Them Rails Have
Been Torn Up.
BOOM DAYS THE CAUSE
Hope of Boomers Not Realized
Road to Discard.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

Records for 1910 show that in the
United States there are 81 abandoned
railroads. From Is the rails have been
removed and "a are described as mot
in operation or Operations suspend
ed"
In regard to the frst-class, says the
Railroad Mans Magazine, the fran
chises seem to have expired by disuse,
but the tracks are still in evidence; in
the second-class the company has pull
ed up stakes and quit; in the third a
variety Of causes may have contribu-
ted to the stopping Of wheels.
The shutting down Of a railroad may
simply mean that it has outlived it's
usefulness. The neighborhood served
by the line may have developed in a
fashion that the builders hardly con-
templated and with which the -ails and
rolling stock are incapable OF dealing
Along comes capital and either COB
bles up the little road altogether or
puts it out of business by Offering the
travelling public facilities and accom-
modations that it cannot attempt to
rival. 1t is really prosperity that shuts
down such road.
Then there have been roads built On
the basis OF the anticipated boom Of
resort, town or a section. The hope
of the boomers not being realized, the
line goes into the discard.
Again. Tic 444lt4d1 p1O4244sCS t'A d
ing district are such that line is built
for it's benefit. The district doesn't pan
out or goes barren after a time and in
consequence the road is abandoned.
The same is true of regions in which
the natural resources are many or en-
ticing, notably in those that yield oil.
The disuse of lumber roads is ineyita-
BILE also. The timber states are dotted
with the remains Of rusty rights of " y
and almost every year adds to their
number.
In many cases electricity has taken
the place of steam where the line Is a
short one and used chiefly for passen-
ger traffic. Sometimes where this has
happened 1t has been found cheaper to
build a new road than to tinker with
the old one and SO the latter is ticketed
abandoned"
One of the smallest and perhaps most
Improbable railroads in the United
States was the abandoned Kentucky
Northern that ran from Sincoe, KY,
to junction with the Louisville & At
lantic railroad, a distance of eight
miles. 1t was incorporated in May, 1902
From the first 1t proved to be a drain
on the pocketbooks of the stockholders
The surrounding population seems to
have disliked the line. Not enough pas
senger tickets were sold and not
enough freight was shipped to pay for
the keeping of it's one locomotive, it's
lone passenger coach or its solitary fat
car.
In the year ended June. 1908. its op-
Grating expenses were $12,SS3 and its net
earnings 1897. About this time it was
concluded that the wisest plan would
be to abandon the road.

Quincy passenger train left a railroad
station near the field. simultaneously

Honeywell determined to out-distance

the race was in progress and they
leaned out windows and crowded the

left at 4:47 o'clock and an hour later
almost made a forced landing a mile
