About the most ridiculous per-
formance we ever heard of was pull
ed off by Mr.. John NJ. DesChamps,
who flays South Carolina Democrats
and quits the party because he says
he was counted out of election as
governor. He says he will always be-
lieve that he received at least 10000
votes in the primary, but was de-
frauded out of them by the manag-
ers. Mr.. DesChamps bases his be-
lief upon the reception he received
over the State. We are afraid ne has
something to learn about politics yet.
But the thing thot gets beyond us is
that after making such a good i'm
preston, he should now go and spoil
it all by not knowing how to take his
medicine. Under different circum-
stances, DesChamps would undoubt-
edly have received a most flattering
vote, but he ought to have known
better than to expect anything at all
in the primary this year.

Democratic leaders regarded as safe
An unusual feature of the result is
the election of the first woman to
congress, Miss Jeanette Rankin, Re-
publican, apparently having been
elected in Montana.
The Socialists point to their grow
ing strength. In 1912 they polled 900,-
900 votes for president. This year
they claim they will have 100000;
will elect thirty-five members of state
legislatures in twenty-one states and
get one or more members Of congress
The popular vote system will re
suit in many new faces being seen
in the senate next March. Hiram
Johnson, who was vice presidential
candidate with Roosevelt four years
ago, comes into the senate from Cali.
fornia on a wave of 100000 majority.
DR.. ]. Irwin France will take his seat
in the senate from Maryland. Former
Secretary of State Knox will be the
new man from Pennsylvania and Jo-
seph S. Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey
another Republican, will represent
that state. Thomas Taggart, of In
diana, is eliminated from the senate
and James E. Watson, a well-known
Republican, whip" of numerous con-
crosses, takes his place. The coming
Of Trust Buster" Frank B. Kellogg,
of Minnesota, to the senate is an
event of some note in political circles.
J. o. Wo!cctt, the young Delaware
barrister, will make his bow on the
rolls of that historic body.
Prohibition Makes Gains.
Arkansas refused to repeal its stete
wide prohibition law and substitute
local option instead. Montana ad pit
ed prohibition by $4,000 majority, clos
ing 1887 saloons and nineteen brew
cries. The voting of Tuesday Closed,
it is estimated, nearly 1000 saloons In
the states of Michigan, South Dakota,
Nebraska and Montana.
The votes of the soldiers in the
field on the border may have an i'm,
portant bearing on the result In some
states. It is said that the 1000 men
from Minnesota at the front may cast
their ballots in such manner as to
affect the tide in their home state.
The result viii be watched with in.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 11.-Thirty

RUNAWAY TRAIN
HITS ENGINES
Freight Gets Beyond Control
ON a Curve.
SEVEN KILLED; TWO INJURED
Forty-seven Lo'Ged Cars Followed
Locomotive in Crash and Wrecka9e
Takes Fire.

Seven men were killed, six of them
instantly, and two were injured when
a heavy coal and freight train ran
away for ten miles on the New Por-
tage branch OF the Pennsylvania rail-
road and crashed into four light loco
motives standing at New Portage juno
ton, near Altoona, Pa.
The dead are:
A. L. Rising, Derry, engineman.
R. C. Schrum, Conemaugh, conduc-
tor.
Frank Fry, Conemaugh, brakeman.
w. NJ. Thompson, East Altoona,
fireman.
R. C. Jackson, Altoona, engineman.
J. N. Gorton, Altoona, fireman.
w. A. Baker, Juniata, engineman'
died in Altoona hospital
The injured are:
F. J. Smith, fireman, Conneaut.
w. E. Horner, fireman, Altoona.
The train, composed of locomotive
and sixty cars, was going down the
grade three miles from the scene OF
the accident when the engineman lost
control. Gaining at every moment,
the long train soon attained great
speed, but kept to the rails. Clyde
Hail. a fagman, and Oliver Baum
gardner, brakeman, were in the ca
boose, but kept their seats and were
not hurt, while the fireman leaped
from the train at Muleshoe Curve and
escaped with slight injuries.
The four light locomotives were
standing at the junction, in the path
of the onrushing freight. There was
nothing to stop the runaway, and be-
fore the men on the locomotives were
aware, the impact came. Forty-seVen
OF the loaded coal cars followed the
locomotive in its plunge and were re-
duced to mass of twisted steel. A
few minutes later fire started in the
coal, and firemen were sent from
neighboring towns tc fight it.

A reversal in Iowa, where complete

Saved by Her Voice.

When travelling to Paris with some other ladies on one' occasion Mime Grisi had thrilling adventure. At a small wayside station a man entered the carriage. and it soon became evi dent from his threatening gestures and eccentric behavior that he was a dangerous lunatic. Though her com panions were panic stricken. Mime Grisi retained complete presence of mind and with the utmost comDosure began to sing. At once the maniac was quiet. His whole attention was riveted on that magnificent voice. and he remained the most appreciative of
 listeners until the train reached the next station. where he was secured. It transpired subsequently that he was maniac with homicidal tendencies who had escaped from an asylum.

SUPERSTITION VS. SENSE.

We heard man remark the morn ing of the fire: "Yes, the gypsies curs- ed the town when they were run out, and now you see the result" We suspect that a redhot stove pipe thru a hole in a board roof will produce the same results, in one hundred per cent of actual demonstrations, curse or no curse. It is impossible to unite an imflammable substance with red hot iron and not have a fire, and the gypsy probably saw our danger, and prophesied accordingly.
 The city should have some kind of building ordinance which provides for safer system of heating than the old-fashioned stovepipe with a venti. lator around it. When cold weather comes one will naturally pile on the coal, and the consequence is fire which destroyes property enough tc pay for brick fiues for all the town,
 Give the fire chief authority to en- force a modicum of safety in erect. ing a vent for your stoves, and fires would become a thing of the past.

The gain at the time is but trivial, as good goods cost the same, the world over, plus freight and handling, and a man who buys thousands of dollars worth is in a DO sition to buy cheaper than the indi- vidual who buys ten dollars worth.
 On the other hand, the merchant should buy at home also, whenever possible. It is no more right for him to send outside for articles his con- petitor handles than it is for the peo- pie.

TRADE AT HOME.

We have always advocated our citi- zens trading at home, whenever pos sible. Not only on account of keep ing the money in circulation here, but because of the added fact that you meet your seller face to face and can examine the goods. There are also other reasons. A case in point is brought forcibly to mind by the re- cent fire. One of our prominent busi- ness men had insurance policies han died by local companies. When the policies expired instead of renewing them with the local agency he sent his insurance outside to a concern in Cal ifornia. In the meantime, before the company accepted his risk, the fire came, and, of course, the outside com pany promptly stood from under, and left the merchant to shoulder the loss.
 Had this merchant gone to one of our local agencies, he would now be the gainer by 5000. The business would have been fixed up instantly, the policy made out, and the company would have promptly upheld the ac- tions of it's agent by paying the loss.
 This not only holds good in this instance, as it is but one of many hun dreds called to our attention day by day.
 None of our merchants are becom-
