Big Apple Crop

The apple crop in Charlton
county Is something immense.
Why the farmers who have a
surplus Of apples do not man
ufacture them into cider instead
Of taking the very small price
offered for them or letting them
lie around on the ground and rot
Is very strange indeed. Cider Is
worth never less than Is cents
per gallon and never fails Of a
market In a dry county or state.
and ten dollars a barrel clear for
the cider brings n much better
price for the apples than they
are selling for and Il certainly Is
more profitable than letting them
rot Racking the cider of twice

man arose to a dignifed height
and stated that he wished a
license to marry the same young

staggered, but managed TO re-
gain his composure sufficiently

WRECK At SALISBURY
Engine Axle Gives Way Fast
Train Nearly Ditched /


ent were given a shaking down
Sunday. when Wabash train No.
3 broke an axle near Salisbury
jaring the occupants Of the
train but luckily remained on
the rails.
The train drawn by two loco
motives escaped a bad il not q
serious wreck at 2 o'clock one
mile east of Salisbury. Only the
excellent condition OF the road
bed and the high-class of the en-
gineers can be advanced as a
reason for averting a disaster TO
train and passengers.
The forward locomotive had
just reached the west end Of the
long trestle when the fore wheel
of the tender broke off, rolled
under the tender and the other
wheel and axle was dragged,
rolled and jerked along a dis
tance Of about 200 yards, knock
ing chunks out Of the ties, break
ing connections under the tender
and spring in the forward axle
OF the rear truck. scattering
heavy broken castings, springs
and bolts along the track and
the stray wheel broken in many
places rolled out on the opposite
side Of the roadbed when the
train stopped.
Had the accident occurred on
the trestle or upon reaching II,
the calamity would not have
been less than horrible. The
end Of the axle from which the
wheel was broken flush with the
wheel. clearly. indicated that II
had been seven-eighths cracked
through for a long time. for
while the axle Is FIVE inches In
diameter the freshly broken part
showed not more than an ir-
regular inch in diameter. and
carrying the heavy load that
such tenders are forced 10 sup.
port without giving way sooner
Is convincing evidence that the
Wabash roadbed and rails must
necessarily be very smooth.
The wrecker was gotten out
Of Moberly and as efficient work
done as ever witnessed on like
occasions anywhere. In about
two hours after the mishap. the
disabled engine was on the sid.
ing at Salisbury and No. 3 pro.
ceeding on her way.
Among the Keytesville resi-.
dents and Others who were giver
q decided scare by the inciden,
were c. r. Lamkin. Miss Edith
Fetzer. Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd Her.
shey Of St. Louis who wer,
aboard the train.
