GERMAN EMPEROR RELIGIOUS
In Stirring Address Tells His People
to Not Forget God.

Declaring that the Prussians were
oppressed and dismembered folk" in
1906, as a consequence of Gods judg-
ment because they had lost faith in
him, the German emperor at memoir
ial service at Berlin university made
Sunday a characteristic speech, warn
ing the present generation of Germans
not to forget the faith of their fathers.
The emperor emphasized his words by
pounding on the desk. He asserted the
Germans of today are inclined to be-
lieve only in tangible things and to
place difficulties in religions way.
They should study history, he said, and
see how the Prussians regained their
old faith and fought the war of liberia
ton, whose glorious result was not
mans work, but Gods work.

RUNAWAY ORE TRAIN
ENGINE AND FIVE CARS HAVE
RECORD TRIP FROM BURKE
TO WALLACE.
ENTIRE CREW INJURED, NOT SERIOUS
Thrown Out Into Deep Snow--Traln
Goes Entirely to Pieces-Emerg-
ency Brakes and Reversing En-
CINE Do Not Halt Flight.

Wallace, Misunderstanding down the
narrow, winding canyon from Burke
to a point about one mile above this
city, distance of six miles, on a 4
per cent grade and at a speed esti-
mated at 80 to 80 miles an hour, was
the terrible experience of the train
crew of the Burke ore train on the
O.-W. r. & N company's line between
this city and the town of Burke Satur-
day morning.
The train left here at the usual hour
and proceeded up the canyon to Burke
in charge of Conductor ]. Barry, with
engine No S25, driven by Engineer
Roy A. Hinkle and Fireman e. d.
Malone, and T. w. Mcpherson and L.
M. O'Shea as brakemen. Arriving at
Burke, they put in on siding, where
five cars of ore were awaiting them
to be taken down the line to the Hecla
mill at Gem.
Emergency Brakes Useless.
The couplings were made and the
train started, with everything under
control, when suddenly the momentum
of the train under it's heavy load began
to increase to an alarming extent and
the emergency brakes were applied,
without any effect.
Hinkle, who was backing his engine
down a head of the load, threw the
engine on the forward motion in the
hope of stopping the runaway train
This proved futile, for the heavy load
gained such momentum on the heavy
grade that the engine with all its
strength, was unable to check the wild
rushing weight bearing down upon il
and it went shrieking, steaming and
putting ahead of it's load down the
canyon.
Two Cars Leave Track.
When the wild train struck curve
just above Gem two of the heavy load
ed ore cars jumped the track, scatter
ing ore and debris over the right O
way. The remaining three cars anC
the engine remained on the track anC
rushed down the canyon gaining speed
at every second until it struck thu
spur track Known as the t1lSu Llu'
that takes the ore to the Stewart ant
Green Hill-Cleveland mills, just abov
the city.
The engine took the slight curve a
the switch, but could not hold it. TIL
tender broke loose from the engin
and rolled down the bank with tn
three ore cars after it, while the Ell
CINE, as if to clear the high trestl
;. going up the high line, made one awful
lunge, lost it's cab at the end of tn
r trestle, turned once and a half an
e landed on it's side in the bottom G
d the gulch, stripped of everything e'
+ cept its wheels, 300 feet from where
q struck the switch to the high lone.
J. To the deep snow on each side c
t the track every member of the trai
f crew owes his life, as had they bee
r thrown on the rough ground that line
the track on each side, probably ne
one of them would now be alive.
AS it is the most seriously injure
!. is Brakeman O'Shea, who was badl
q bruised and scratched and has tw
e broken ribs.

tortion prevailed for the other offices

These boasted guardians of the
marriage relationship, defender of
the sanctity of the family, care much
more for their fees than they do for
the morality of their parishioners.
The fact is the Pope and his crowd
care about as much for morality as
the devil does. A few days ago | re-
ceived {. clipping from the Matin,
Paris newspaper announcing that
Pope Plus x has "annulled" the mar
riage of Count Boni de Castellane
and Anna Gould. 1t will be remem-
bered that this same Pope would not
consent to divorce before Anna mar
ried Boni's cousin, because the
church never allows divorce. 1t
would be interesting to know pre-
c1sely where the difference lies be-
tween "divorce' and qualification.
Of course Papal casuists can point
out vast difference, but I mean the
moral difference. 1t appears Boni
was very much annoyed that the
matter got into the paper. Rumor
has it that Boni now has in view his
marriage to another American heir
