Mr.. A. P. Farris was here from ST..
Louis last Thursday. He says that
the Republicans in the city focked to
the polls in drives to vote for Reed
for United States Senator. Some
with whom he was acquainted said
without equivocation that they ex-
pected to vote the Republican ticket
as usual this fall. A local instance.
A Republican from Arcadia stated
the day before the primary that he
expected to vote for Reed. The
Democrat to whom he made this
statement said: swell, suppose Reed
is nominated, will you vote for him in
November?n st do not know wheth-
or will or not,n was the answer.
What do you think of it? Does any
one pretend to say that nomination
secured in such manner is binding
on any one?

sary to secure 81 per cent of the land

Meredith stated that himself and
other promoters would continue to
secure signatures to th 9 petition until
rs per cent of the land owners have
endorsed the move. The dams would
protect more than million acres OF
farm land from floods each year and
would also supply sufficient power

The most disastrous wreck known
in the history of the Iron Mountain
Missouri Pacific Railway occurred
near Sulphur Springs last Saturday
evening, resulting in "a deaths and
1870 minor casualties. The story of
the disaster as told in the daily press
is this in brief: No. 80, a day passenger
train made up at Hoxie, for local
traffic to st. Louis, and closely fol-
lowed by No. 4, through passenger
from Texas, had halted to take water
at the tank just south of Sulphur
Springs. AS No. had been reported
half hour behind schedule, no dan
ger was apprehended. But No. 4 had
made up time, and, having supposed
right-of- way, came along at terrific
speed. crashed into the standing
train and utterly demolished it, tos-
sing some of the coaches into Glaize
Greek, there spanned by the bridge
on which the train was partly stand
ing. A coroner's jury duly summon
ed, after hearing the testimony, re-
turned the following verdict: "The
persons killed in the wreck came to
their death through the negligence of
| Engineer Matthew Glenn in failing to
obey signals" Train No. 80 had been
stopped at Sulphur Springs but thirty
FIVE seconds when the crash came.
The only orders received by No.
had been picked up six minutes be-
fore at Riverside, and these stated
that it was to go on siding at White
House at 1887 P. M. to permit the pass
ing of the Sunshine Special from ST.
Louis. 1t is thought that Glenn was
reading these orders when he passed
the block signals unnoticed. Nc
orders had>been received concerning
No. 80, the testimony showed, ant
the signals were the only means o.
showing that the track was not cleal
south OF White House. Glenn wal
one of the most trusted engineers OF
the road and had been in the emplo.
OF the company for many years. 4
moments lapse cost him his life ant
threw many families into mourning
Among the victims of the disaster wa

Episcopal minister, whose sudden ant
terrible taking off is mourned b,

THE ROAD BOND ELECTION.

Owing to an error in the advertising of the election
for the road bonds the election had to be postponed till
Dec. g.. Iii looking the law it was found that part
of the statute in regard to advertising had not been

whole matter had to- be readvertised.
While this will put the election off for some weeks
it shod only make the majority for the bonds bigger
as there will be more time fer the people to think the
matter over and the they think it over the big
