WATER N TENDER
CAUSED THE WRECK
J. f Fish. OF the Alton. Says Shift.
ing Water Was Probably Cause Of
Accident.
HAS CAUSED WRECK BEFORE
Officials and Victims Pleased With
Efficiency and Service Of Local
Hospital.

J. f. Fish, Travelling Passenger &
Freight Agent of the Alton, says he
believes the wreck Friday, in which so
many were hurt, were caused by the
washing Of the water in the engine
tender. Once before, an Alton wreck
had been attributed to this cause. In
rounding the curve, just before the
train ran into the straightaway where
the accident occurred, the water in the
tender was thrown violently 10 one
side. As soon as the straightaway
was reached the water washed violent
" across the tender and Mr.. Fish be-
lieves il lifted the wheels from the
track. Before they could again alight
on the rail the opposite wheels had
slipped from the rail and the train
was beyond aid.
Mr. Fish said the officials Of the
road as well as all the wreck victims
taken TO the hospital were delighted
with the efficient service and excel
lent manner and speed in which all
were cared for. Mr.. Fish could not
say too much in praise of what had
been accomplished for the sufferers
in such a short period Friday evening.
Those of the slightly injured who
were at the Mexico hospital have
practically all returned home. The
nine remaining, while they are get
ting along nicely, are suffering quite
a little. Those who are still here
are: Mrs Eulah Thurmond, Aux
vase; Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Merchant, 81
Louis; Mr.. and Mrs. w J. Blair, Lin
wood Neb,;T, W. Shocklee, Orient

SCHOOL NOTES
By w Clyde johnson,
County School Supt

The past week. FARMER" Rusk
and | spent three days holding pa
irons and agricultural meetings. We
visited six schools before his love for
his mother took the Farmer TO Co
lumbia to spend Thanksgiving Day
with his parents. At High Hill, we
found a number of enthusiastic pa
irons who are much interested in
a good school. All members Of the
Board were there with their families
the first time this has happened.
We enjoyed very much their dinner
the social hour with them and the in
~teresting program given by the
school. They are fine h%ospitable
folks.
| also noted the following i'm
provements: a sandtable, blinds for
the outbuildings. new library books,
dry and liquid measures, window cur
tains. blackboard newly painted, and
the school house has been thoroughly
eleaned-twice | was informed. There
was also a splendid exhibit-better
than the one exhibited at the Round
Up.
At Cant. only one member of the
Board was present, Mr.. Smoot. W.
4. Ballew, the teacher, had arranged
to have Patrons Day on Friday. ]
sincerely regret that business kept me
in the office. | am very sure, how
ever, that he had a successful meet
ing.
While there, | noticed two god mot
toes uniquely written on the walls.
heard that with an enrolment of q
pupils a perfect attendance record was
made during the past month. Mr.
Rusk remarked that the pupils had
been more attentive and respectful
than had been the case elsewhere.
At Burke, we had a good audience,
and were well entertained. The
house still presents a neat appearance
proving the pride the pupils take in
having their school home fixed up
and the good car they take of it. They
have a fine new barn, and have paint
ed the blackboard.
Miss Anna Marshall, at Flynt, hat
a fine display of farm products anC
school work. She has been here five
years and | believe a short visit with
her, would soon prove the value Of
keeping the teacher year after year
The children's program was interest
ing and enjoyed by a number of th'
patrons.
The exhibit at Prairie Chapel wal
very good and ! am SURF the program
was also. We regret very much tina.
we could not stay to hear it and NEE
the patrons who came in the after
noon. Miss Stauffer and her pupil
are rejoicing in the possession of ;
new stove.
At Crane, the attendance was Gu
down by the appearance of a shred
der in the community the evening be
fore. The program was also short
ened since serious illness in the fam
lily, prevented one Of the boys iron
taking part in the play. However, tn
program was interesting, and IN,
displays of farm products and schoo
work were good and enjoyed by all.
wish to speak of the hospitality
friendliness, and sociahty shown u
wherever we have met with the pa
irons. 1t certainly proves to me tina
they are interested in better schools
and in fact are making them bette.
all the time. And ! believe they will
not stop until they are as good as tn
best.
