noon would not serve to alleviate the
pair of discovery that the United
States permits no measly German dip
lomat to estrange the two Americas.
Tomorrow will get about the same
weather conditions as today.
The boys at Doniphan are probably
slipping and sliding thru a muddy
night in the night maneuvers that
take up part of the time of a soldier
education. 1t was raining at Oklaho-
ma City this morning and the trend
of the storm was west. S. D. Flora
said that if it was not already rain
ing at Doniphan at 9 o'clock this
morning it was in all probability pre-
pairing to, and that forthwith.
The highest temperature ever re-
corded in Topeka on this date was SO
degrees in 1896. The lowest on rec
ord was G below just one year ago to-
day.
1t will be partly cloudy tonight and
Saturday with not much change in
temperature. This is the official
weather forecast by MeteoroIogist
Flora this morning.
Perishable goods due for thirty-six

WRECK KILLS AT
Death Toll SWeIled as Fatally
Injured Succumb.
Worst Disaster in History OF
Louisville & Nashville r. r..

Shepherdsville, KY, Dec. 21.-The
death toll taken last night when
Louisville & Nashville passenger Train
No. Z from Cincinnati to New Or
leans crashed into the rear end OF the
louisville Bardstown & Springfield
combination train few hundred Ieet
south of the railroad station here. had
reached forty-seven today.
The wreck, which is said to be the
worst in the history of the LoulsVlIIe
r. Nashville, occurred just after the
local train had pulled out from the
station here. 1t had gone only sEort
distance when the other train came
into sight travelling at a nigh rate OF
speed Before it could be halted II
had crashed into the slower moving
train ahead, and made kindling wood
of the two wooden passenger coaches
it carried.
Blame for the disaster seems to
hinge on whether the fast train mad
been given a clear block or not. Many
of the injured were so badly hurt that
it is feared the death list Will be IN
creased even further.
No one aboard the passenger train,
made up of steel coaches, is believed
to have been injured. The accom-
mediation train consisted of the two
wooden passenger coaches, which
were splintered. The locomotive of the
passenger train was demolished and
| the steel coaches thrown from the
track.
I Thirteen persons today were added
] to the list of identified dead. The in
! jured number seventy.
! Six women are among those killed
/ The entire family of Marshal John
! Philip of Bardstown, KY, his wife
and child, were killed. Others killed
were Rev. Father Eugene. Bertollo
Chapaze, KY, and Nat Muir, president
of the Wilson-M Muir bank at Bards-
town, KY, and his wife, and Mrs
Emily Sturgeon of GAINESVILLE, o.
Several of those killed were so bad
ly disfigured that it was impossible tC
identify them. Two children, thrown
into a snowdrift when the crash came
were found alive and were cared fol
by people here. One of them, an IL
year-old girl, was so stunned by the
shock of the collision that she has los
her memory. The other, a 4-year-olt
girl, was asleep in the snow wher
picked up.

Not All Profit.
The fact that the value of Kansas farm
products this year is greater than the
value in any previous year should not be
construed as meaning that the net profits
from farming have been greater For, as
Il matter of fact. in some sections of the
state. from the standpoint Of net profits,
1917 ranks among the poorest of years. In
those sections where happy combination
of high yields and prices of grain crops
turns were obtained On the other hand,
vast areas of crops in other sections,
failed absolutely or in part, and resulted
in proportionately heavy losses. For in
stance, almost two-thirds of the winter
wheat area was wholly abandoned, because
Of winter killing Furthermore, the high
prices of farm crops have in sections of crop
failure placed an added burden upon the
farmer, because he has been forced to go
into the open market and buy feedStuffs
for the livestock which he must continue
to retain on his farm. a thing he Ordinar-
lily does not have to do. The scarcity and
consequent high price of farm labor the
greatly increased cost of all supplies that
must be constantly bought for the farm
are also to be considered. Hence, althC
the 1917 Kansas farm products have won
derfully increased in value. there should
be no mistake about a similarly wonder

ing about in many instances an actual
loss.

TNDAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago. Dec 21.-CORN-Corn showed
a tendency to react from yesterdays bulge.
Buyers were somewhat scarce, and the at
tention Of the trade seemed to center on
advices that eastern roads had been order
ed to return to the west a total to date of
1000 empty box cars. Clear cold weather
likely to improve tie quality of the crop
helped also to ease the market. Openin z
prices, which ranged from the same as
yesterdays finish to &c lower, with Jam
parry $1-24A to $125, and May S1.23 to
S1.23L were followed by moderate decline
all around.
Subsequently depression resulted from
reports that the liftirg of the railroad EN-
barge east of Chicago had failed to stimu-
late shipping demand. The close was I'M
settled &c to &c net lower with January
81 .242s TO S1.245A and May 81 22% to 81 .22Jk
OATS-0ats paralieled the action Of
corn. Signs of Il renewal of export demand
from the gulf, however, operated as a check
on the bears.
