The Other End of the Team And why did you do mai: Sal Skinner Because rna said it would keep him from breaking out, Otis- Skinner has started his tour In "The Liars" so successfully that he is not likely to appear In any other play this season. "The Liars" 13 a brilliant satirical comedy which mado a hit last season at the Empire Theater in New York. In the role of Sir Christopher Deering. the honest, witty, sarcastic meddler in other peoples' love af fairs, Mr. Skinner may be said to be at his best. It gives him opportunity for that art concealing art with which this graceful actor Is always associated in the minds of judicious playgoers. The Cincinnati Enquirer, referring to Violet Rand's appearance with . the Pike stock company In that city this week in 'Tho Girl I Left Behind Me," says among other nice things: "It was understood that Miss Violet Rand would be connected with the Pike company thte season as ingenue. but she has accepted a position with the Grand stock company at Indianapolis, which is alto under the control of Messrs. Sosman. Land Is & Hunt. Miss Rand's im- ' personation of the Indian maiden.

MISTAKE OF TRAINMEN

TEX PEOPLE IXJIIIED IX AX I., D. Ji WIlECIv XEAIl MONTLTZOIA. Freight Train Crashed Into n Sleep er "Which Projected Over on the Mnln Track. Ten people were more or less seriously In jured yesterday morning In a wreck on the Indiana, Decatur & Western Railroad at Montezuma. The accident was the result of a mistake on the part of one of the train crews. Montezuma is the place designated on tho time card as the point where the pas senger train arriving in this city at 3:&3 a. m. passes a fast freight from Decatur, III. Yesterday morning at 3:13 tho passenger train, carrying many people returning home from the Illinois state fair, arrived at the meeting point, and, finding the freight train waiting for it some distance up the track, took siding, because tho length of tho freight train and tho fact that there were several empty cars standing on the siding made it Imposslblo for the freight train to go on to tho siding. The passenger engine, in order to clear the main track, was compelled to push the empty cars backward along the siding, and whilo doing this, tho freight train engineer. thinking the train was on the siding, started to pass It. The rear end of the sleeping car protruded out on tho main track and the freight train, coming up fast, crashed into It, almost breaking it In -two and turning It over on its side. Those of the passengera who were uninjured were able to step out of the windows on to the ground. Hardly had the two trains crashed together when there was an indescribable confusion. Men were shouting, women were screaming and the moan3 of Injured passengers were heard. Almost at once it was seen that the cars had taken fire from the Illuminating gas, which was expected to explode. All thought of the possible cremation of the injured pas sengers was dissipated wnen ine train crew went to work with buckets of water and succeeded in quenching the flames before the gas explcded. During all this time the passengers were groping arcund trying to find their way out of the overturned car. The porter helped matters along by calling out to them directing them to the doors and then helping them to get out. The first one rescued was iviiss Mollie Meredith, of 705 North New Jersey street. thLs city. Her injuries consisted of cuts about the face and bruises about the body. The others whose Injuries were serious enough to be reported were: II. E. Osborn. Waukesha. Wis., badly hurt about the body and head; brought to this city and taken to the Bate?. J. L Sharkey. 25 West Michigan street, Chicago; painful injuries about the head and body. Adam F. May. of Flat Rock, former repre sentative frcm Shelby county; shoulder dis located and palniully bruised, sent nome. Miss Mcllie Meredith, 705 North New Jersey street; cut about the face and head. Taken to her home in a carriage. O. E. Bradfut. Cedarvllle. O.; slightly In jured about the body. Oliver Reveal, ex-county commissioner, or Indianapolis; wrist sprained and body bruised. C A. Gosnell. of Cambridge City; legs cut and hips wrenched. Albert A. Ahlers. traveling man for Charles Mayer, of Indianapolis; wrist badly cut. Dr. w. E. Hendricks, of Martinsville: cut on the arms, hands and head. The blame for the wreck has not been fixed. The engineer of the freight train says that the flagman on the passenger train signaled him to go ahead, but the flagman denies this. Dr. Hendricks, of this city, who was one of the passengers, says that reeling was so Mtter against the engineer of the freight train that had the passeneers laid hands on him there would have been no need for the company to Investigate his action?. Traffic was delayed until yesterday afternoon, when the road was aralo onened fcr business. BRIDGE BIDS REJECTED. The Loard of Works Connlders Them All Too llleh. As was expected, the Board of Works at its meeting yesterday acted on the recommendation of City Engineer Jeup and rejected all bids for the construction of the Fall creek bridges at Illinois and Meridian streets. Thc principal reason for the move was the belief that the prices wcrp altogether too high and ought not to be ac cepted without a readvertisement. It is probable that bids will be asked for a week from next Wednpsdnv although tho lima has not been definitely fixed. 'ine Board or Safety at its meeting allowed the reeuLir Mils nnd fmntort n va cation until April 1 to Patrolman George ivoons, wno wm aevote tne winter to the study of medicine. day, and after auditing the regular bills apprcvea tne purcnase or two bears selected at Arcadia bv Mr. rt Thn nrlpa ....... w ' . v. paid was $225.

Just before the Indictment was returned here he became Involved in a transaction In Ohio and was arrested. The Ohio attorney who had .charge of Rapp's case enme to this city immediately after his artest. and asked that the cases against him be dismissed here. Prosecutor Iugh declined to do this, haying he would not think of di.mlislnc the care until Rapp wns convicted in Ohio and sent to prison. Yesterday Mr. Pu,jn nveived documentary pruof of Rapp's conviction in Ohio, and the cases against him were nollled. One of the " indictments against Rapp charsed that he forged a note for $2$. The other indictment charged him with obtaining money from Daniel Tolman under false prvtenses. He is ald to have represented to Tolman that he was a cook in the employ of the Erwin Hotel Company, and that his name was William Hennaman.

HUIDEKOrF.Il SEVERELY CRITICISES THE StRCI'ON CSEXEHAL. Says the Regular Army Sledlcal Corp Failed to Meet Reqnlremcnli During: the Late War. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 29. The Association of Military Surgeons of the United States to-day selected New York as the place of meeting of the next annual meeting. Officers were elected as follows: President, Charles M. Aldcn. assistant surgeon, U. S. A.; secretary. Lieutenant Colonel Charles Adams. Chicago; treasurer, Lieut. Herbert A. Arnold, assistant surgeon Na tional Guard of Pennsylvania,. Ardmore, Pa. Col.' R. S. Huldekoper, late lieutenant colonel and .chief surgeon of the First Army Corps and of the United States troops In Porto Rico, stirred up a lively discussion on a paper on "The Organization of Army Corps." Colonel Huidekoper, who had been criticised because of his management of the army camps, took occasion to defend himself and the volunteer surgeons, and to attack Surgeon General Sternberg and the regular army surgeons for the management of the hospitals at Chlckamauga. He told how privates were transferred to the hospital corps as nurses. "When-these men reported," said he, "I found that certain officers had selected drunkards and epileptics, and other worthless men not wanted In the army, had been sent to me." He made complaints, but the complaints had. he declared, been pigeon-holed. Colonel Huidekoper criticised the camp work of the regular army surgeons. "While they were mostly officers of ability and reputation, there were among them men who never, In last year's war, learned to appreciate that an army corps was larger than any one company post in which they had been stationed in the last decade or more, and who absolutely failed to realize the energy and attention required for the handling of new troops." He spoke of the difficulty of getting medical supplies and said: "The complete outfit of a brigade hospital, as a unit, and the supplies for three regiments, multiplied one hundred times, could have been supplied by any contractor Inside of two weeks." At the close of Colonel Huldekoper's paper. Col. Charles H. Alden, assistant surgeon general, arose and said: "There are many new thlng9 in Colonel Huldekoper's paper that I never heard of before. I think he entirely misunderstands the surgeon general and his ability and devotion to the duty." A lively discussion on Colonel Huldekoper's speech followed. It was decided to print It In the proceedings of the meeting, after eliminating from It all personalities. Papers were also read by Dr. Molina, Mexico's representative: Col. Nicholas Senn. surgeon general Illinois Guard; George Worth Woods and others. Final adjournment was had this afternoon. In the evening the delegates were entertained by the Kansas City Club.

That rheumatism in its worst form can be cured by proper treatment is shown by this interview with Mat Tanner, of 231 Hamilton St., Albany, N. Y. He said: "I was taken with rheumatism that began in my hips and spread throughout my body. For two years and a half I wai confined to my bed. I employed nine of the best physicians of Albany, and two specialists from New York, but all declared my case hopeless. My niece recommended Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. The use of several boxes enabled

me to leave my bed and go about with crutches. Finally I abandoned the crutches, and am now as well as ever. No praise of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People is too strong for my case.
