MINNESOTA STATE NEWS
ORIENTAL LIMITED WRECKED
SEVERAL COACHES OF G. N
TRAIN ALSO BURNED.
Flaming CuIvert Causes DeraiIment
and Five Coaches Are Consumed
Few Hurt.

Winona.-While it was running
an hour and twenty minutes late, the
Great Northern Oriental Limited
southbound from Seattle to Chicago
rounded sharp curve six miles be.
low East Winona at a speed of 80
miles an hour and was wrecked over
burning wooden culyert, at O'Clock
Thursday afternoon.
The engine passed safely, but the
combination express and baggage car
was thrown into the ditch on the
side and the five coaches behind it
were either wholly or partially 2e-
rallied.
Several coaches were thrown over
on their side. Every passenger es-
capped death, but several suffered min
or injuries. Within a few minutes
after the train was brought to a stop,
flames leaped over and enveloped a
Pullman sleeper which had stopped
directly over the little wooden span.
Passengers saved most of their be-
longings before the fire, famed by
high wind from the northeast, licked
it's way through the balance of the
derailed coaches.
Engineer Al Hardy of La Crosse
first saw the danger ahead and shout
ed to Guy Atkinson, fireman, also of
La Crosse, who was firing when the
locomotive plunged around the point
of a bluff. The emergency brakes
were applied, sending the passengers
in all directions. In a few seconds
more the train stopped, the engine
having gone over the burning bridge,
the baggage car having been cut clean
and thrown into the ditch, and other
cars of the nine-coach train having
forced their way ahead. The sleeper
stopped with the trucks on either
side of the little bridge, which was
burning.
The passengers, realizing their pre-.
dicament, left the cars in every con,
ceivable manner. Some on their
backs, kicked out the windows; others
forced the glass with their backs, and
still others climbed from the vesti
bules.
The most seriously injured person
was Miss Margaret Freundt, Lafay.
cite, Ind, who was bruised about the
chest. Not more than five or six
persons were injured beyond a few
scratches.

AssaiIs Rural School Syste m.

st. Paul.-Courses of study in the
states rural schools show lack of
uniformity, according to report
made to the state educational commits
sion in session at the state capitol, by
Secretary Raymond A. Kent. In some
counties, Mr.. Kent said, work has been
done toward making courses uniform,
but there has been made no general
attempt toward this end. Mr.. Kent
also submitted tables showing school
taxes and state aid, and these showed
that rural schools as compared with
high and graded schools have raised
more funds by taxation in proportion
to the state aid received, by about 10
per cent.

question, delivered at the Dakota

James A. Peterson of Minneapolis
THE governor was quite humorous
said Mr. Peterson, "in his speech the
otl-er night at Minneapolis He said
that one of the advantages of this
public utilities bill was that it would
take the railroad and warehouse COM

posed to take them out of politics by
having the people allow Governor

BLAME FARMER BOY
FOR HIGH PRICES
SO SAY SPEAKERS AT FARMERS
NATIONAL CONGRESS IN
ILLINOIS.
KEEP BOY ON FARM" SLOGAN
Claim 1t Will Restore Community
Life-Deciare More Persons
Should Work Own Land, Not
Labor for Others.

Plano, ILL.,, Sept. 25.-"Keep the boy
on the farm and restore community
life in the country"
This was the message brought to
the twenty-third annual farmers ma
tional congress by Governor Cox of
Ohio.
All Speakers Agree,
Governor Dunno of Illinois Endorsed
the message. All the speakers talked
on the high cost of living and all
agreed that it centered in the emigra-
ton of the country boy from the farm
to the city.
ITO keep the boy on the farm is
signally failed to solve" said Cover
nor Cox
my solution of it is smaller farms.
There should be more farm owners
working their own land instead of
big proprietors owning large tracts
worked by tenants or overseers."
Make Farm Interesting.
Governor Cox asserted he saw no
reason why life in the country
should not be made entertaining.
Every township should have a COM
bination community house and high
school.
"They should have lyceums there,
moving pictures and the like. A
strong sense of community life should
be developed"
Governor Cox said the responsibility
rested ON the national government to
stamp out hog cholera which cost the
country an annual loss of $40,0G0,O00.
Governor Dunno Agrees.
Governor Dunno declared that in
spite of the fact that Illinois is the
leading agricultural state in the ma
ton, the hegira to the city is con-
slant.
''The only answer is to make rural
life more attractive he said. eve
