thing is sure, that the enormous

never be transacted. were not the
public becoming accustomed TO di.

In the old DAYS a Christmas shop

vague ideas of what she wanted and

failing to see what she needed, she
drited in and out Of various
places, paving over goods until she
at last found something that would
do.
All this tool, the time of Jerks,
INSTRUCTED the passage to the count

IDEAS. The stores were hiIed with
a lot OF undecided people, who took
time to make up their minds.
The common procedure in conduct

out with newspaper I, aiding. For
many weeks previous to Christmas,
the newspapers are filled with at

CONDUCTOR FRIGHTFULLY
HURT IN SMASH-UP
ON NORTHERN

d. T.. Masters, of Van Vert, freight
conductor on the Cincinnati Northern
was seriously, if not fatally injured
about half past six last Tuesday morning
in freight wreck on the Northern, a
mile north of St. Henry.
A north bound freight due here at 3:55
a. m, was running about fifty miles an
hour, when suddenly four coal cars on
the rear of the train and the caboose left
the track.
Masters was in the caboose, which
was rolled over several times.
He was unconscious when taken from
the wreckage. His chest was chrushed
his left arm and the left side of his body
bnrned and his face badly cut. An
engine and caboose with the local road
physician was dispatched to the scene of
the wreck and the injured man hurried
to the hospital at Van Vert. He is IS
years old and married.
The derailed cars bumped along for
almost a quarter of a mile, tearing up
rails and ties and in some places badly
demaging the grade. The track was not
relayed and cleared up until Wednesday
morning, and in the meantime north and
south-bound trains were transferred here
to the {. II. & D. and detoured via YER
sailles to Ansonia.
The wreck, which is being investigat-
ed by Cincinnati Northern officials, is
believed to have been caused by defect
i've truck on one of the coal cars.

LIST FOR
RAW MATERIALS
Democratic Senators TO Revise
Underwood Bill Along This
LIne-VItaI Changes.

Senate Finance subcommittee Deter.
mined to Equallze Live Stock and
Grains and Their Respective Prod
ucts-Agreed That If Cattle and
Grain Are to Remain DutlabIe, SO
Shall Meats and Flour.
Washington, May 22. - Determine
tion to equalize live stock and grains
and their respective products in the
Underwood tariff bill has been reach
ed by the senate finance subcommit.
tee concerning the agricultural sched-
ule. 1t has been agreed that If cattle.
sheep, hogs, wheat and oats are to re.
main dutiablee, as the Underwood bill
classifies them, then a duty shall be
placed on beef, mutton, pork, wheat
-four and oats or if these products are
to remain on the free list, the raw
materials will be put into the free list.
This is the first basic tariff change
to be planned by senate Democrats
since the Underwood bill came from
the house.
Whether raw materials and their
products are to be free-listed or all
are to be made dutiable has not been
determined, but that all would be
treated alike was asserted by Senator
John Sharp Williams, chairman of the
subcommittee, which has the schedule
in hand
The decision to equalize these
schedules, it also was reported, had
been reached with the knowlege of
the president, and not without his ap.
proval.
When Senator Williams was told of
a report in circulation that his com.
mittee had decided to put all live
stock and grains on the free list in
keeping with their products as they
were treated in the Underwood bill,
he declared that there was no ground
for such report. But" declared the
senator, there is this much about it.
If cattle, sheep and hogs are to re-
main dutiable in this bill, then the
products viii carry duty. The same
is true of wheat, oats, flour and oat.
meal. But we have not determined
whether they shall be dutiable or un-
dutiable."
The fight over this feature of the
Underwood bill began in the house,
and there was considerable Demo-
cratic opposition to the free listing of
farm products while the raw material
was left dutiable.
Some Democrats predicted during
the debate that the senate would
change the schedule, most of them as
serting that live stock and grains
would go on the free list. Whatever
the subcommittee does in the matter
is expected to meet with the approval
of the finance committee majority.
1t was learned that Senator Walsh
of Montana plans to introduce an
amendment in the senate to put cattle
on the free list if the bill is presented
without such a change.
