COOPER BROS. SHOW
HMADE IN SALEM.0

AS high class and strictly moral
performance in every respect Cooper
Bros. Great Wild West Show, which
exhibits in Salem, Saturday afternoon
and evening, April 20, stands pre-
eminent In a class by itself and is
designed to instruct as well as de-
light the young and the old, and the
rich and poor and excites the wonder
OF all how so good a show can be
presented for so small price Of ad-
mission. Cooper Bros. Wild West,
which is under the direction Of A. w.
West, the peer of Cowboys, and great
est buck and trick rider and rope
artist the world has ever known, is a
wonderful spectacular extravaganza
depicting early life on the wild and
woolly western frontier in all of its
thrilling and most sensational phases,
and includes in its great troupe of
performers the names of world re-
nowned saddle and rope artists whom
Buffalo Bill and Wild Bill were
proud to feature as star attractions
for their big shows. One act alone,
that of L. e. Mccoy, the only man in
the world who bulldogs (throws) and
wild steer with his teeth, is well worth
twice the price of admission to the
entire show, and this is only one of
more than score of features to be
seen which are equally as blood
and hazardous and utter
ly defy description. Band street
parade, by Cooper Bros. celebrated
Cowboy Band at 10 a. m. Two free
performances at II a. m.,

p' m, and 8 p. m. Remember the

New York, April 19.-"When her
lifeboats pushed away from the Titan
ic the steamer was brilliantly lighted
the band was playing and the captain
was standing on the bridge giving d.
rections," said one of the passengers
on the Carpathia. This passenger de-
scribed the wreck as follows:
II was awakened at about 1890
o'clock at night by a commotion on
the decks which seemed unusual, but
there was no excitement AS the
boat was moving, l paid little atten-
tlon to 1t and went to sleep again.
About 3 o'clock was again awakened
l noticed that the boat had stopped.
l went to the deck. The Carpathia had
changed her course. Lifeboats were
sighted and began to arrive, and soon
one by one they drew up to our side.
There were 16 boats and the trans
fering of the passengers was most
pitiable. The adults were assisted in
climbing the rope ladders by ropes ad-
justed to their waists. The little chill
dren and babies were holsted to the
deck in bags.
LlfebOats Not Full.
Some of the boats were crowded.
a few we're not half full. This
could not understand.
Some people were in full evening
dress. Others were in their night
clothes and were wrapped in blankets

Women, Rescued, Die.
Immediately after breakfast relig-
ious service was held in the saloon.
One woman died in one Of the life
boats, three others died soon after
reaching our deck, and their bodies
were buried in the sea at o'clock
that afternoon. None of the rescued
had any clothing except what they had
on. Passengers contributed enough
for their imemdiate need.

appeared. The survivors were so
close to the sinking steamer they
feared the lifeboats would be drawn
into the vortex There were prepara-
tions for q brilliant party to be given

KATE SHELLEY,
HEROINE,OEAO
WOMAN WHO SAVED PASSENGER
TRAIN FROM WRECK sUc-
cUMss At MoINGoNA

Moingona, Jan. 22-Katherine Carroll
Shelley, known as 1owa's heroine, died
at her home here yesterday, aged AZ
years. Miss Shelley became famous on
the night OF July s, 1881, when she
saved Chicago & Northwestern pas
senger train from going into 9 river
which had left its banks and washed
away the bridge.
While sitting in her home about
eleven o'clock at night Miss Shelley
heard crash, and upon going to the
door found that freight train had
plunged through a nearby bridge
which had been weakeed by a fierce
storm. The entire crew was killed.
Miss Shelley knew that the pas.
senger train was due to pass over the
structure in thirty minutes, and
against the wishes of her mother, went
out into the storm and picked her way
through the black night to the closest
telegraph station, nearly two miles
away. The passenger train crew was
warned Of the danger.
At the meeting of the next Iowa
legislature, Miss Shelley, who was
then 16 years old, was given gold
medal and 5000 in cash for her brav.
cry. She was also rewarded by the rail-
road company and given position as
station agent, which she held until
two months ago.
Miss Shelley successfully passed
through an operation for appendicitis
in June at st. Anthony's hospital IN
Carroll. At that time her condition was
realized. and her ultimate recovery
was not expected. About the middle OF
July she was taken to her brothers 8
home in Boone, Superintendent Ham
mill of this division of the Northwest
ern furnishing his private car for her
conveyance. Later she was brought to
her own home in Moingona. where she
gradually failed until death released
her from suffering yesterday.
Miss Katherine Carroll Shelley was
born in county Tipperary, Munster
province, Ireland, September 25, 1865.
Her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. M. J.
Shelley. came to America when she
vase months old. They located at the
present home of the family, on the
banks of Honey creek. Mr.. Shelley was
killed in railway accident when Miss
Shelley was only few years old, and
her mother died many years ago.
Miss Shelley is survived by her
brother, John ] Shelley of Boone, and
two sisters, Mrs. B. M. Swisher OF
Bouton and Miss Mayme Shelley, who
resided with her at the old home.
