The Cellar Hole and the Sewer
Hole.

A coal cart stopped before an Office
building in Washington and the driver
dismounted, removed the cover from
manhole, ran out his chute, and pro-
ceeded to empty the load. An old
negro strolled over and stood watch
ing him. Suddenly the black man
glanced down and Immediately burst
into a fit of uncomfortable laughter,
which continued for several minues.
The cart driver looked at him in
amusement. Say, Uncle" he asked,
do you always laugh when you see
coal going into a cellar?" The negro
sputtered around for a few moments
and then, holding his hands to his
aching sides, managed to say, "No,
sab, but ! Jest busts when | sees il
goin' down a sewer"
The advertiser who displays lack of
judgment in selecting the newspapers
which carry his copy often confuses
the sewer and the cellar.
All the money that is put into news
papers isn't taken out again, by any
means. The fact that all papers possess
certain physical likeness doesn't
necessarily signify a similarity in
character, and it's character in a
newspaper that brings returns. The
editor who conducts a journalistic
sewer finds a different class of readers
than the publisher who respects him.

II DEAD IN WRECK
Frisco Passenger Train PIunges
Into Raging Torrent Near
Lebanon, Mo.
DROWN LIKE TRAPPED RATS
Injured Caught in Wreekaee and Held
Under Water-Heavy Rains
Weakened Embankment-

st. Louis.-Twenty-se persons
were drowned when ST. Louis & San
s Francisco westbound passenger train
No. 5, st. Louis to Texas, known as
the Texas Limited" plunged into a
cloudburst two miles west of Lee
banon, No, and two passenger cars
toppled into deep gully, swollen with
water.
Sixteen of the dead have been iden-
titled. Eighteen persons were injured,
but few of them hurt seriously.
Ninety-nine persons. including the
train crew, were on the train, and all
have been accounted for.
The wreck occ>rred before day
break, but as telegraph and telephone
communication was interrupted by the
heavy storm, nothing was known
fthe disaster at the Frisco general
offices here until O'Clock in the
morning. News of the wreck was
sent to Springfield, however, and J.
F. Sims, superintendent, left there
about 4:30 a. N. for the scene.
The accident occurred at a curve
which marked the edge of ravine
characteristic of the Ozark hill coun-
try. For several hours the train had
been going carefully, as the engineer
feared the heavy rains had weakened
the track. Just as the engine hit the
curve two miles from Lebanon, En-
gineer O'Brien saw what seemed to
be wall of water ahead of him.
Train PIunges Into Water.
Though the train was going only
fifteen miles an hour, O'Brien closed
the throttle, but before the train
could be brought to a stop it had
plunged into the water
The twelve-foot embankment on
which the track crossed the ravine
was swept away, apparently by the
rush of water, and as the track sag
ged under the weight of the train tie
chair car and smoker toppled over
into the ravine The engine and the
mail and baggage cars had crossed the
deepest part of ravine, and though
they were pulled from the rails and
toppled over, they did not fall into the
water. The fireman was killed, how
ever, apparently having been crushed
The engineer escaped. None of the
mail clerks or express messengers re-
ceived injuries. The four sleeping
cars remained on the track.
The chair car was well filled. Many
were drowned, apparently while they
windows of the submerged cars and
swan to safety. A nurse, Miss Mona
Campbell OF st. Louis, climbed to the
upturned side of the chair car and
rescued five imprisoned passengers
by pulling them through the windows.
