ADDED AT HIGH SCHOOL

A new system has been installed in
the Rock Island high school library,
as regards the disposition of the text
books which are rented to the stu
dents. In the past, these books have
ell been piled on tables in unelassifed
heaps, causing a great deal of confu-
sion in the matter of finding any par
ticular volume. During the vacation
period, a new oak book case has been
installed on the north side Of the room
where the various volumes have been
placed in numbered and classified sec
tons. A large oak counter has been
placed Immediately in front of the
shelves, and this year the rental of
books will be carried on in true store
style.

completing his run just before dawn
today and was changing his overalls to
street clothes in the caboose of freight
No. 35, coming from Macon to Atlanta.
He was just reaching for his coat when

hardly knew what struck him. He was
hurled so. feet in the debris of the
caboose and the locomotive plunging
from the track. tore far into the bank
and settled. half buried, in the wet
earth at the bottom. Half a dozen coal
cars behind 1t were piled high on each
other and demolished.
Two negroes, fireman in the en-
CINE and brakeman in the cab, were
hurt and an ambulance carried them
to the Atlanta hospital. They will re-
cover, it is said. The engineer es-
capped with only a bruise or two. The
wreck occurred in the East Point yards,
just out of Atlanta, and opposite the
Campbellton road. at :16 o'clock, An
hour later there was "A crowd of a
thousand persons watching the wreck
ing crew clear the tracks
The cause of the wreck has not been
ascertained, but officials are trying to
find how the second section of No. 35
came into the East Point yards so close
on the heels of the first section. 1t
was reported that there were no rear
lights on the caboose. but this has not
been verified, and the lanterns them
selves are buried under tons of debris,

The doctors are not going TO take
any chances. They realize that while
the colonel has made remarkable i'm
provement, while the wound is healing
rapidly and the danger from sepsis
has passed there is still the danger of
a relapse from over eXertion. 1t is fear
of pleurisy or pneumonia that is the

the muscular wall of the chest would
be sufficient cause for the dread of the
development of this complication. but
the fact that the colonel has a frac-

Expected Home
In Six Weeks.

Though definite advices are awaited,
it is believed that the contractor was
stricken with brain faver in Chicago,
where he had gone early in August to
start on a fishing trip of recuperauon
in the Michigan woods.
With his mind disordered by the fe-
yer, he is thought to have wandered
West until he reached the Pacific, and
there shipped to the Antipodes On the
other side of the earth his condition
was at last realized, and he was sent
to a hospital.
Mrs. DeLeon believes that his re-
turn to Atlanta may be expected within
six weeks. The sending of the cable
gram indicates to her that her husband
will soon be able to leave the Sydney
hospital, and the mention of San Fran
cisco Is taken to mean that he will take
an early steamer.
