killed, ten instantly, and ten others
seriously injured when a Northwest
ern train, northbound, struck a
hayrack filled with Mcnasha merry
makers at a grade crossing on the
southern outskirts of this city. Four
of the injured are so seriously hurt
that they can not live.
Thirty young people, who were re-
turning from Saturday night
dance at the home Of Peter Han
son, who lives on the road to Osh-
kosh, were singing as the big hay
rack was pulled up the slight In
cline to the Northwestern crossing,
a mile south of the station In this
city. The next instant the speeding
Northwestern passenger train, bound
for the north, had ploughed through
the rear end Of the big farm wagon,
and twenty-three of the thirty oc-
cupants of the wagon were scattered
200 feet along the railroad right OF
way, dead, dying, or dangerously
hurt. Those who were seated in the
front of the wagon escaped almost
without bruises.

Orly the driver, Peter Hanson,
who did not receive as much as a
scratch, was able to give a coherent
account of the accident. He saw the
headlight Of the northbound North
western train, underestimate the
distance, and, before he could urge
his overtaxed team across the tracks,
the monster locomotive had ground
through the vehicle with its party of
merryInakers.
Not one of the survivors. with the
exception of the driver, saw the train
or heard its approach; none realized
the danger until picked up. The
train mad passed the scene fully 400
feet before 1t could be stopped.
Words fail to describe the scene
following the collision. Mangled

Six bodies were taken off the pilot

of many were left on the trail of

NEW YORK. Oct. The critical state
through which the steel industry passed

miscellaneous orders for early shipment.
Specifications continued TO keep the mills
operating at slightly under 40 per cent
capacity and the low prices attracted
more railroad Inquiries for 1917.
Generally considered, prices OF finished
products were no lower than during the

Al the last weeks meeting OF the
American Life convention, which has
just concluded in Pittsburg, Robert Lynn
Cox general counsel and manager Of
the Association OF Life Insurance Prcsi-
dents. spoke on the Power OF the Poll
cyholder: He said that on a conservs
surance policyholders were voters. The
collective powers of these policyholders
he said. might he directed in two lmpor-
tant channels---n holding executive at-
fairs of life companies 10 high ideals and
strict accountability which could be

he believed the future of life insurance
very largely to depend. "All that is re-
CURED" he said. lis TO stimulate inter
est and guide tho action Of poicyhold

common interests really require" Mr.,
Cox further said that he believed the
attack made upon life Insurance in the

Since no organization looking to ef-
fective action can be built in a day, or
even a year. Mr. Cox urged the in,por-
