A brand new question arises that
may b. OF interest to the women
only recently Joined in marriage. It
concerns her eligibility to vote un-
der her maiden name II she ID reg
Uttered in that way.
The argument 10 advanced that
she 10 no longer Miss So and So.
but il Mrs. Etc, and consequently
loses her right to call for = ballot
and be checked on under her for
mer name.
It will sure be tough luck If >
young bride loses this first oppor-
tunity to vote on the all-important
ONCE Of president. But then she
may regard the joys Of connubial
bliss as OF much more importance
than the mere satisfaction OF
marking q ballot
But on second thought It may not
be 30 bad after al. Fact Is, MRS.
Newlywed can 60 to the polls and
be sworn in under her new name.
This eliminates possibility OF her
vote being challenged.
So much for that outlet for the
difficulty, but 1t still looks bad for
the new housewife. Supposing she
has accompanied her husband into
his precinct for her new home-as
most girls do--and the 80 day resi-
dence rule cannot be established.
She it out of luck for good, then, be-
cause the status OF the husband
does not hold good in matters CT
residence.

gineer John L. Kelsey Of this city.
Fireman John Kopf Of Meriden.

Engineer Kelsey escaped only by
jumping after he had set the air
brakes and ssnded the track when
he saw the inevitability OF col
lision. The accident occurred at
$3.50. Wyanet is about fifty miles
east Of Galesburg, between Buda
and Princeton.
Dr.. c. B. Horrell, physician Of
this city. was. with his wife. among
the Galesburg people on the train.
He testified yesterday morning that
an unpleasant jarring and sudden
stopping OF the passenger coaches
was the only intimation passengers
had of the wreck in which the fire.
man was killed. until they emery
ed from the cars and saw what had
happened. DR.. Horrell took per-
sonal charge of Engineer Kelsey.
WHO suffered injuries to his left
shoulder, as we'll as bruises. Kopf
was pinned beneath parts Of the
locomotive and scalded to death by
escaping steam.
Signals were right and the road
! reported clear Immediately before
the wreck, Mr.. Kelsey said~yester-
day. No. 55 was speeding along
at the rate of so miles an hour. 4
locomotive headlight was shining
on the eastbound track. and its
, glare blinded the engineer until
the passenger train was nearly up
to it. When they passed the
freight locomotive they saw the
crew Of that train making frantic
signals to stop them; in the same
fash they saw anead OF them On
the track stock car. apparently
hurled to one side by a buckling
of the. freight train. Hitting i:
could not be avoided. and so Mr..
Kelsey applied the air brakes and
sand. shouted to the fireman that
he had better Jump, and jumped
himself just as the collision was
about to occur. He landed in a
patch Of heavy weeds. The engine
struck the portion CT the freight
train which lay on the track, and
was thrown down the 12-foot en-
bankment into cornfield, carry
ing the fireman, who had not
jumped, with it.
