 Both engines exploded, according to messengers, bits of tne wreckage fall ing on tIhe roofs of the coaches and terrorizing the passengers who had been thrown into masses in the for ward end of the cars.
 Passengers immediately set to work helping the injured from the coaches and went forward to assist in extri- eating the Chesapeake and Ohio con ductor aad his brakeman, caught in the wreckage, when the combination coach i'll which they rode telescoped upon the shattered engines.
 The Chesapeake and Ohio train, running on the Louisville and Nasn- vile tracks, as do all Chesapeake and Ohio trains, from Lexington to Louis. vile, was dead heading back to Lexington. Several hours previously this train on the same track had collided with cut of freight cars in East Louisville, and had to put back for repairs.

 New York, Jan. 6.-The wholesal. orice of butter in New York today went to 42 cents a pound, the highest reached in 2S years. and retailers were asking g cents with only limit ed supplies of the best quality. There s great uncertainty in regard to tlhe supply ahead, but it is generally pre- dicted by dealers here that before the week is out the high record price Of butter in this country will be at a'aed
 The rise Is ascribed by some deal ITS to the new Brennan law in this state, which prohibits the keeping of butter for more than a year, to anti eold storage legislation of other states, to the severe drought of -asl summer factors which are said to have restricted packing while the new output has been curtailed it is said, by the recent cold weather

elarss Woodrow Wilson.
How widespread is the progressive
movement in American politics was
eloQuently expressed by Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey in q
recent speech. The governor said:
ut does not require any great imag-
ination to think that high thoughts
and purposes In politics are running
subtly through every household and
every member Of every household In
this country. 1t does not need that
you should touch elbows-actuaily
touch elbows-with men In the street
and men in the shop in order to know
the great issues of human happiness
that are involved In a great contest
like this, for the question of the tariff
Is not mere question Of policy. 1t il
q question of the Encouragement Of the
public interests as you touch every
household In this country. and how
any man in such circumstances can
hold his head up after he has voted for
a special interest without a Just con.
ception Of the common interests I for
one cannot comprehend.
But whether men can comprehend
1t or not, help 1t or not. we all know

GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE.

All Progressive Reforms Have That
For Their Object, Says Wilson.
Discussing the progressive move
ment in politics, Governor Woodrow
Wilson Of New Jersey said recently:
If you will look at the proposed re-
forms. proposed by men in both par
ties. meant to serve the country In
some special way. you will see that
each particular reform has a definite
object For example. the question of
the cost Of living Is question which
touches the great body Of the people.
It does not touch those exceptional
persons whose income Is abundant.
1t touches the whole body of the peo-
pie. The question Of direct primaries
touches the accessibility Of the offices
by the people. 1t touches the means
which they are to exercise to put the
sort Of men they desire into Office.
The question Of the equalization Of
taxation means that equality which
Is Justice, that fairness which will see
that no man Is taxed more than an
other man or upon different basis
from other men or other corporations.
The question Of corrupt practices In
elections is a question Of the attacks
which have been made upon the viz.
tue Of the people.
Every direction you turn you will
see that what we are straining after
Is to bring the government back with
In the touch of the people and to use
1t in behalf Of the people. Upon what
sort Of occasion, therefore. in what
sort Of campaign, should a man who
remembers the long traditions Of
American government take greater
pleasure and sest than In Q campaign
