Train Wreck Near Clinton

The southbound M. K. & T.
train known as the Texas special
went over an embankment twenty
feet high near Clinton Tuesday.
The entire train except the engine
and tender left the track and
rolled down the embankment. No
one is reported killed but about
" persons were injured. To the
fact that the train was made up Of
steel coaches is attributed the
lucky escape of the passenger
from death.
Until the track was cleared the
N. K. & T. trains were detour0d
over the Missouri Pacific.

Everywhere you see the men taking
not only their own share in the CONVEX
sation, but even leading IT in many
cases. At receptions, too, and at pub
lie dinners, the fair sex seems, for
some time now, to be letting the reins
of conversation slip from their hands.
One explanation for this queer state
Of affairs is that women, with their
growing interest in outside doings, in
business and politics and in the siren
