ENGINE AND CAR
were DERAILED
ROCK ISLAND FREIGHT TRAIN
MET MlSHAP AT MILWAUKEE
CROSSING THIS MORNING

Railing to detect the semaphore set
against It, a Rock Island extra freight
train entering Ottumwa this morning
from the north was derailed at the
Milwaukee railroad crossing about
5:1o o'clock. Fortunately there was no
one injured although the engine was
turned over on its side, one car Of
cement was partially turned over and
the forward trucks of the second car
also laden with cement were derailed.
| The rear car trucks and the way car
remained on the rails. Traffic was tied
up for several hours and the wreckage
of the engine and the tracks west of
the crossing presented a sorry sight.
/ The engine was badly damaged and
was flat on it's side with the under
parts skyward and trucks either off
entirely or hanging by their moorings.
The Milwaukee steam derrick and
wrecking crew with Fireman Tullis
were secured by Agent J. c. Finesey
of the Rock Island and the work of
clearing the wreck started with will
a. $3.50. Conductors Singleton of No.
ATS and Hearn Of the freight train
that was stranded here by the wreck
got busy early in assisting Conductor
Banker of the i'll fated train, and the
other Rock Island men in helping
clear the wreck from the tracks In
order that the line might be opened.
The accident occurred during the
very heavy fog early this morning. A
Milwaukee train had the crossing and
the tower man had set the switches to
protect this train, when the Rock
Island extra with two cars came down
past the box car loader plant. Failing
to discern the position of the sema-
phore the engine and forward car
took the derail and the former met |
with disaster by topping into the
ditch alongside the track and pulled
the forward car partly with it. En-
gineer Schnoover and Fireman Frank |
lin jumped to safety. A heavy train
might have made things far worse and
the railroad men expressed them
selves as pleased that no one was
hurt and no greater injury done. The
box car loader planted lent a hand and
made ar effort to move the cars at
the rear of the wreck, but could get
no effective drawing force on account
Of the distance from the plant. The
new switching crew that has been j..
added to the Ottumwa yards was busy
IN tho job. The new crew is under !
Conductor Hartman and the crew and
hight instead of returning to Eldon-
4 Waterman will care for the engine
lere at nights. This makes two switch
ng crews for the Rock Island in Of

NEW AUTO LAW GOES
 INTO EFFECT SEP. 15TH

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 29.-Owing to some miscalculations in the date of it's passage, the automobile law which was thought to go into effect last Thursday will not go into effect until the 18th of September. The pre- mature announcement caused quite a furry in the office of Secretary of State Osborn, who, although he had made preparation for issuing the re- quired licenses and seals under the law, was unable to do so because of the non-arrival o fthe equipment
 Under the provisions of the law the licenses, number and seal are issued to the applicant owner of the automo- bile. These are expected to arrive in time for the opening date of the en- forcement of the law and in sufficient numbers to satisfy the demand that will be made. The numebr of autos in the state is unknown, but it will soon be found out when the licenses are all made out and sent.

DURUfa OR MACARONI WHEAT
In Dry Northwest 1t Has Met With Considerable Favor-It Resists
 Drought SpendidIy

Durum wheat is generally grown as a spring wheat. In the dry northwest 1t has met with considera ble favor. Ii generally out-yields spring wheat and resists drought spendidly The great est objection to growing macaront wheat in this country has been the lack of market. the mtIlers at first discriminating against it. Analyses indicate that Durum wheat has high value for feeding purposes, being con- siderably richer in protein than or dfnary wheat, says the WaIIaces' Farmer. It is so hard. though, that it must be ground before being fed. We have reason to spect that a larger amount of feeding nutrients can be obtained from an acre of Durum wheat in a dry season than from any other spring grain unless it be barley or corn
 Durum wheat does not stool quite as much as ordinary spring wheat. and consequently should be sown a lit. tie thicker. A bushel and a half tc two bushels to the acre is about right

The farmer who rents the land from me says it ought to bring twenty-five in open market. So, un- less I get that, I'll mortgage 1t and raise what I can on 1t towards my most pressing debts"
 Ethel said nothing, but her lips closed firmly together and the pucker came into her forehead again. An other plaster on the property" she thought to herself. Poor dear old Daddyl He'll never get out from be- meath two mortgages. One is quite enough to smother the life out of him."
 Mrs. Warren consoled her husband in her sweet, sympathetic way, say ing to him what she had said to Ethel a little while before; Something may yet turn up, Papa. Let's not cross the bridges till we come to them. Come, I have a cup of hot tea in the kitchen for you. You're chilled through. We'll go and have our tea while Ethel finishes her lessons"

When Dolly arrived at the age of nineteen she became quite a favorite in the society of Philadelphia. Of her at this time a biographer says:
 She was q tall. slight girl with black hair, blue eyes and an uncom- monly fair complexion. She had great sweetness of expression. A rich young lawyer. Mir. John Todd. with good looks and warm heart. also of the Society of Friends, offered him self to her in marriage. but she re- piled that she never meant to marry.
 MT. Todd had shown MT. Payne much kindness in his financial troub- les. It was evident that if Dolly were given to him in marriage the young man would feel compensated for all his pecuniary loss. The father, there fore, called Dolly to his bedside (where he was dying) and explained the situation to her. The result was, Dolly soon became the wife of young

THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENED A

''I felt all along something would turn up," she said.
 Ethel had taken the telegram and was reading 1t over carefully. q was so astounded that I couldn't believe my ears" she said, Jumping up and clapping her hands together and then kissing both her parents very hard. "Oh, glory bel" she cried. "Oil-big fiow-come at oncel Papa, you've got to get off on the afternoon train. And take Mamma along. Let her see our gold mine in the shape of black fluid. Oh, 1t Is wonderfull But Dad, how did your funny old tenant happen to prospect for oil ?"
 Well, the old fellow wrote mo a year ago that he wanted to do bit of prospecting, and l told him to go ahead. But never had any idea he'd get anything for his trouble. But 1t seems he's not such an old block after all. Well. this will settle a few difficulties, at least.'
 "Yes, you'll pay off the mortgage on this place, sell it and buy the Grant place before some one else nabs 1t up," cried Ethel, all aglow with happy anticipations.
 And you'll go to college next au- tumn, girlie,' said Mrs. Warren. You see, you began crossing bridges be- fore coming to them. Hope and pray, that's my motto. And all the time be cheerful and keep working. Then you cannot fail"
 And the three Warrens sat down to finish their meal, and to plan on their future, for now things looked very bright to them after the long dark spell of worry.

Langdon held the phone till she could have the stable man look about and see if the pony had come home. A few minutes later she reported that no pony was there. This made Mrs. Turner bit uneasy, for there had been in the neighborhood lately good many horse and cattle thieves, and she feared Kate might fall into their hands, and Kate was not branded. Then Mrs Turner went out and called to Rover. He, too, was missingl Evi- dently he had gone in quest of Kate.
 There was nothing to do but wait for developments, and Mrs. Turner sat down at her sewing. The children would be back soon now. Indeed, while she was thinking thus. Nancy announced their arrival.
 Of course. Jack was deeply worried over the straying away of Kate, and he and Abe started out to search the country about for her. They rode all afternoon, and at last. when 1t began to grow dark, gave up the hunt. The boys parted company, each going to-.

MT. Todd. and never while their union lasted did she have cause to regret the step she had taken. He proved kind and devoted husband, and Dolly grew to love him sincerely. When his death occurred, the young widow gave herself up to the deepest mourning, and she told her friends they could not estimate her loss Their married life had lasted only three years, but during that time they had become closely knitted together"
 For some time after the loss of her husband, Dolly was quite i'll, but at length recovering, she returned to her girlhood home with her baby son, whom she called Payne Todd. Her father had died, but her money had placed the family in easy circum- stances.
 About this time Dolly was more beautiful than she had ever been. It is said that when she attended church "gentlemen would station themselves near to see her pass" and an old friend of the family said to her on one such occasion Really, Dolly, thou must hide thy face, there are so many staring at thee"
 sAmong those who admired Dolly as she went along the street was James Madison, then forty-three years old. He sought an introduction, and from their first meeting mu- tual admiration sprang up between them"
 After Dolly Todd became the wife of James Madison. her high social po- eiffon baCamp assured Sha was not merely a social leader. She was de- voted to people, and loved to be in crowd. Once a caller said to her, when she was mistress of the White House. "Everybody loves Dolly Mad ison," upon which she replied, Dolly Madison loves everybody" And it was true. She always had sweet smile and a kind word for every one she chanced 10 meet and her popu- larity was well deserved. A true wife. a devoted mother spd faithful friend could VI" s if 5f Dolly Madison.

 Well" he said, "I guess the sale won't go through. That syndicate wants to get the land for most noth- Ing. and before I'll give 1t away, I'll hang onto it-hoping that the grad ual increase in land will at least en- nance the value of this piece.

NTHEL WARREN sat with pen " cil idle on the writing pad in
 front of her. A little pucker

@THEL WARREN sat with pen
 =w cil idle on the writing pad in
 front of her. A little quicker N-A gathered between her eyes. and a far-away look was in them. Mrs. Warren sat alarming stockings beside the big baseburner which glowed warm and bright.
 Everything about the Warren home looked well-kept and tidy, and good taste was shown in what meagre adornment there was in the large sit- ting-room. The furniture was old. but substantial and of artistic de- sign.
 Mrs. Warren noticed the troubled look on her daughters face and said: "Dearie. are your mathematics too much for you this evening? If so. maybe Papa can assist you. He'll be home now in a few minutes
 NO, Mamma. dear. 1t isn't my mathematics which trouble me. They're easy. You know I'm at home with figures. It's something very much more material than arithmetic that's on my mind tonight"
 Mrs. Warren laid aside her work and came to sit beside Ethel. An arm about her girls shoulder, she said: Come, tell Mother all about it. Let me share your worries, dear"
 'Tts as much for your sake and Papa's as for my own," said Ethel. "Its that terrible mortgage which looms big and horribly in front of us. And next to that, it is the dis couraging outlook for next year. You know since Papa's business has been going down, he's not been able to keep out of debt, and it will be i'm possible for me to go to college next autumn-as we had planned, you know. The other girls in this years graduating class were talking over their plans for next term of school yesterday. Myrtle Bryant is going to Vassar, Lena Davis to the State Uni versity, and Gloria Smith has not yet decided where she shall go, but to some university for a finishing course. Now, I'm at the head of my class which graduates in the spring-and I shall not have the same fine oppor- tunity as the rest of my class. It's awfully disappointing, isn't it, dear ?''
 "Yes, darling, it certainly is" agreed Mrs. Warren. But maybe something will yet turn up. Let's not cross the bridges till we come to them"
 But Mamma. we're already on one bridge, and 8 very long one. too. That terrible mortgage Papa had to place on our home will be all that he can manage. The interest eats up a lot of money each year. and as it was a short-time mortgage, it must fall due in about two years. So that's to be considered first of all things. And next to that comes this old, worn-out house. You had so wanted to buy a new one, and Papa and I had figured on our getting the Grant place which is still for sale, it being too large for many families to want. But you and I love its great. ram bling halls and spacious rooms. Why, I had begun to dream of the days there in that old mansion after I had, fin
