WRECK KILLS SEVEN
Nebraska Freight and Passenger
Meet on Sharp Curve.
Twenty Injured-Army Corps Aids
Rescue-Engineer Says He Had
No Orders.

Omaha-Seven persons were killed
and 20 injured, four of them serious
ly, in collision between Missouri
Pacific passenger train No. los, north
bound, en- route for this city, and a
fast freight train.
The wreck, which occurred at Fort
Crook, ten miles south of here, is be-
lieved to have resulted from a misun-
derstanding of orders on the part of
the freight crew. A passenger train
due to leave this city for the South

converted into a relief train and sent
to the scene of the accident, and later
returned here with the uninjured and
several of those who were slightly in
jured. All of these were sent on their
way. Those more seriously injured
are being cared for at the Army hos
pital at Fort Crook.
Governor Gilchrist, of Florida, who
was a passenger on the northbound
train, was uninjured.
Passenger train No. los, out of
Kansas City, in charge of F. R. Ira

P. Gross, conductor of the freight

"signed off" but evidently did not

Do Not Be a Leaner.

Power is the goal of every worthy
ambition, and only weakness comes
from imitation or dependence on 9TH
ers, says Orison SWEET Marden in Sue
cess Magazine. Power is self-devel-
oped, self generated. We cannot in
crease the strength of our muscles by
sitting in a gymnasium and letting
another exercise for us.
Nothing else so destroys the power
to stand alone as the habit of leaning
upon others. If you lean, you will
never be strong or original. Stand
alone or bury your ambition to be
somebody in the world.
The man who tries to give his child
rem a start in the world so that they
will not have so hard a time as he
had, is unknowingly bringing disaster
upon them. What he calls giving
them start will probably give them
a setback in the world. Young peo-
pie need all the motive power they can
get. They are naturally leaners, i'm
itators, copiers, and it is easy for
them to develop into echoes, imita-
tons. They will not walk alone
while you furnish crutches; they will
lean upon you just as long as you will
let them

Corporations Belong to Public.

Governor Wilson, in his indianapolis
address, made most emphatic the
point that the corporations have none
of the rights of private individuals
and must be treated solely as the pub
lie welfare demands:
"a modern joint stock corporation
cannot in any proper sense be said to
base its rights and powers upon the
principles of private property. Its
powers are wholly derived from legis-
lation. 1t possesses them for the con-
venience of business at the sufferance
of the public. Its stock is widely
owned, passes from hand to hand,
brings multitudes of men into its
shifting partnerships and connects il
with the interests and the investments
of whole communities. 1t is a seq
ment of the public; bears no analogy
to partnership or to the processes by
which private property is safeguarded
and managed, and should not be suf-
fered to afford any covert whatever tc

woman's Foot Growing Larger.

Shoe manufacturers claim that the
American woman's foot is growing
larger. The number two shoe is al
most obsolete, they say, and sizes four
and five are much commoner than
three. The explanation seems to be
that the phenomenon is due to the in
creased use of the feminine foot as a
means of locomotion. The constantly
increasing number of women engaged
in industry and the growth in popular
ity of tennis, golf and walking have
had their inevitable result. and com
mon sense has done much to abolish
the wearing of pinching shoes. The
tradition that small feet are an excel
lent thing in women has persisted long
and will not die without a struggle.
Conservatives need not fear that wo-
men will carry this matter too far;
they know when to stop.-Success

But in spite of the large income from
