ANOTHER REPORT OF
THE AWFUL HOLOCAUST

Springfield, No, SPIT 15.-Between
thirty five and forty five persons were
killed or drowned and a score Of others
injured early today when the 1ocomo-
tive baggage car and forward chair
car of st. Louis & San Fran cisco train
No. 5 plunged through trestIe over
Brush creek near Lebanon, No, and
were submerged by the swollen stream.
Most Of the dead were drowned in
the chair car and q great proportion
of these were women and children.
Those who were unable to escape from
their water prison fought their way
out by breaking windows and swim
ming to shore. It is estimated there
were sixty-five passengers in the chair
car.
Owing 10 roor communication with
the place Of the wreck it is impossible
to give a definite estimate of how many
escaped. None Of the sleeping cars left
the track and the passengers in these
quickly formed rescue parties
One man In the chair car left his
wife and five children. When the ac-
cident occurred he was thrown clear
of the car and swan to shore. His wife
and children died while he stood help
lcssly nearby
Rains last week caused all small
streams in the vicinity to rise. and the
train was late because Of the foods
As it passed Lebanon. according to re
ports reaching here, its speed was in
creased.
Railroad officials announced that the
injured would be brought to Spring
field this afternoon. The dead were
placed in norgues at Lebanon. Com
munication between Springfield and
the wreck is practically cut off making
it impossible to get an early list of
fatalities.
The Texas Limited was one of the
best equipped trains on the Frisco
railroad The train left St Louis last
night at S:32 for Galveston, Texas. and
carried three Pullman sleeping cars,
two coaches, baggage and smoker ana
diner. Ali the equipment was Of steel.
An early report sent by a physician
who was or the wrecked train, said a.
least twenty passengers and the en-
gineer and fremen were drowned :

physicians left here Immediately for
the scene Of the wreck.

WHEAT MAKES SOME
SENSATIONAL ADVANCES

Chicago, Sept. 15.-The decline in
wheat prices based on reported success
ses Of the allies was checked this morn
ing on the Board Of Trade. May wheat,
which closed at Sill "a yesterday,
sold to $I15 in the first fifteen minutes
of trading.
After touching s1.1O1-4 for May de
livery, wheat once more advanced in
q sensation manner and closed strong
at S1145-S for May with the market
as a whole 23-S to ? IS above last
night. Lack of confirmation OF the
reported surrender of General Won
kIuck assisted the bulls and so also
did assertions Of a German victory
over the Russians.
Notwithstanding the rally, another
storm OF selling before the session was
half over and prices broke 10 lower
level than even at the worst Of the
semi-paniC of the day previous. May
wheat fell back &C to III. The new de
cline was due to reports of the surren-
der of General Won Kluck.

my son had a vote coming to him.
That is why his name was brought up
I did not swear to his age because
