Only One Of Wreck

The Bluffs Hospital

Mrs. Lillian M. Bowden is the
only one of twenty victims of the
wreck on the Northwestern railroad
at Missouri Valley, Friday, to remain
in Mercy hospital, Council Bluffs
All others have been discharged and

Mrs. Bowder's injuries have
proved to be much less serious than
was at first thought to be. The
X-ray showed no injury to the spine

There was practically no internal

is at Timber Lake, S. D., and she
was en- route on a Christmas visit

The ceremony" consumed four

done, was at standstill because of
the crowd that watched the pro-

"moonshine" whisky, while fine
wines and other liquors went gurg-

Groans and means were heard as
the officers poured out the booze.
Some men even "cried" at what they
declared to be "wanton destruction"
One man pleaded with tears in his
eyes that enough be saved for use
at hospitals.
The following is the inventory of
the destroyed wares:
Five fve-gallon cans Of alcohol.

The earth will be in peribelion
this month, i. e., it will pass through
that point in its orbit which is near
est the sun. This will occur on the
afternoon of the third at 5 o'clock
by eastern standard time It may
seem strange that we should be
freezing with the sun nearest to us,
but as we have previously pointed
out in this column, the difference
between our distance at peribelion
and aphelion is very small, for the
earth's orbit is very nearly circular.
whereas the important factors in
producing the seasons are the

lengths of day and night; and these
are favorable to the northern henis-.
phere when the earth is in the
aphelion half of its orbit.
Two planets are evening stars this
month-Jupiter and Saturn. The
former will be found on the map;
the latter is not yet risen at map
time in the earlier days of the month,
but will cross the horizon somewhat
later and so must be looked for at
later hour. Venus is morning star
and will continue such the entire
first six months of the year. Mars
ends its career as morning star this
month and will appear in the eve
ming the rest of the year. Neptune,
the furthest planet from the sun, is
up in the evening, but is so far away
that it appears as a star just about

ARK" CARRYING
RADICALS "HOME"
WILL SAIL TODAY
Thick Veil Of Official Secrecy
Thrown About Prepare
tons for Leaving.

New York, Dec. 20.-Sailing under
sealed orders, the army transport
Buford, the lark" which will carry
back to soviet Russia Emma Gold
man, Alexander Berknlan and more
than 200 other radicals, will leave
here early tomorrow. A thick veil
of official secrecy was thrown about
the preparations for departure and
all passes to, the Brooklyn piers,
where the ship is locked, were can-
celed.
The Buford, which prior to 1893,
when she was purchased for use as a
transport, was the British steamer
Mississippi, has been stocked with
stores and provisions sufficient to
last 500 persons 80 days. The des-
tination of the ship is not known
even to the captain. His sailing Or
ders will be handed to him sealed, to
be opened "a hours away from port.
The normal crew of 1875 men, in
GLIDING officers, has been increased
by enlisted men to serve as guards,
and other precautions have been
taken to prevent any possible
trouble.
Buford Slow Ship.
The Buford is a slow ship and the
time it will take her to reach port
where her passengers can be disenl-
barked is problematical. In addi-
ton to the slow running time of the
vessel, there must be taken into con-
sideration possible delays from win
ter storms and frozen seas in the dis
trict into which she will sail, for the
radicals have been promised they
will be sent to ''red Russia"
Nearly $50 reds were at Ellis
Island tonight awaiting deportation.
The number had been increased dur
ing the day by the arrival of hand,
cuffed and well-guarded delegations
totaling about $50, from Pittsburgh,
