AWFUL BLUNDER

Sends Forty Souls Suddenly to Eternity, Some Through Fire. DOZENS ARE BADLY WOUNDED Only Sixty Unhurt Out of a Total of 135 Persons. MOST VICTIMS ABE IMMIGRANTS Freight Crew Unconscious of a Vital Fact and Crashes into a Passenger Train—Flames Roast Many Alive.

Chicago, Nov. 13. —The officials of the Baltimore and Ohio railway announce that they have received positive news from the wreck at Suman, and it is known that out of 135 people on the train, forty were killed, thirtyfive were Injured, while sixty escaped unhurt. Chicago, Nov. 13.—A west-bound immigrant train and a Chicago-New York east-bound freight train, on the Baltimore and Ohio railway, met in a headon collision at Suman, Ind., causing death and Injury of many passengers and great property damage. Three freight cars and six passenger coaches ■were destroyed. The engines were thrown to one side by the Impact, while several cars of the immigrant train were tossed down a ten-foot enmbankment. where the ruins caught fire. The flames spread with great rapidity. Many Killed in Their Sleep. The immigrant train was the second section of the regular express, and the first section did not carry any signal to indicate that the second was following. The freight train pulled out on the main track, and met the Immigrant train on the curve. The engineers and firemen saved themselves by jumping, though the engineer on the passenger train was scalded by escaping steam. The passengers were asleep at the time of the collision, and many were killed. Horror Is Increased by Fire. The scenes that followed were heartrending, for the wrecked cars took fire and many were pinned underneath the Wrck and were unable to release themselves before the flames reached them. The cries of the dying filled the air, and those who were not disabled tried to save the others, but they were not successful. Most of the injured passengers, together with those who escaped hurt, were brought to Chicago on a special train. For the most part the immigrants consisted of Russian Jews. Servians and Poles on the way to Chicago and the northwest. The engineer of the freight train, on instructions received at McCool, waited at the siding at Babcock. Ind., to allow the immigrant train to pass. For some reason he did not know or he had forgotten that the west-bound Immigrant train, had been divided into two sections. The first section, headed for Chicago, flew past the waiting freight. Some say it carried at the rear no lights indicating that a second section was following. At all events If ft did the signals were’ unheeded, and Engineer Burke and Conductor Moste sent the freight eastward over the single track. DEAD NUMBER FIFTY Many Children from Babies Up Are on the List. Superintendent Batchelder said that the reports of eighty or 100 dead are absurd. “There were 167 passengers and eleven small children on the train,” he said. “The children all are accounted for, some of them among the dead. Our count of forty-seven dead Is fair and, I believe, accurate.” Following is a list of the supposed dead, made up in part of those known beyond doubt to have been on the train, and not otherwise accounted for’ Mlza Aelonl; Bertha Brandwelner; Albert Culßrs, fireman of passenger train, Garrett. Ind.; Annie Feldniap; Schmil Feldman, aged 11; MojqlKKe Feldman, aged 6; Tura Gensic. aged 16; Tosas Govallantzkas; Barflormicj Glrllckl; Moische Guttmann; Josef Herdesocker, aged 17; Mrs. S.

Magdelena Walamlte, Mrs. Anton Zejrowskl. There are fifty persons accounted for In this. There are also twenty children under 12 years old In the list, which throws doubt on BatcheW*r’s figures.

LAW IS TIME WASTED

Attempt to Range Up the Time of Taking Office Is a Failure. ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS 80 ♦ Legislature Didn’t Get It Right, Somehow—How a Biter Got Bit by a Barber. Indianapolis, Nov. 16.—1 n an opinion just rendered Attorney General Chas. W. Miller decides that the act of 1903, which attempted to make uniform the beginnings of the terms of county officers, Is unconstitutional, and that allcounty officers, including judges and prosecuting attorneys, whether their office is constitutional or legislative, will enter on their new terms at the expiration of the terms of their predecessors, whenever that may be. In fact, this opinion, if followed, entirely abrogates the act of 1903, and leaves the situation so far as the beginning of terms Is concerned, exactly the same as it was before the enactment of that law. Effect of the Opinion. If this opinion is followed Judge Fremont Alford, of the criminal court, will retire from his office tomorrow, and all other county officers, will enter on their terms at the expiration of the terms of their predecessors, an.l not wait until Jan. 1, 1907, as the law of 1903 provided. This decision affects judges of circuit, superior and criminal courts, all prosecuting attorneys, all county auditors, treasurers, clerks, sheriffs, recorders, assessors, coroners and surveyors. Instead of taking office Jan. 1, 1907, as the law provides, they will begin their duties the day the term of their predecessors would have expired regularly, that is, had the law of 1903 not been passed. These expirations come at different times, mostly in November. What the Law Tried to Do. The law of 1903 was passed because there was great irregularity in the ending of terms of county officers and the t>eginning of new terms. The purpose of this law was to bring order out of chaos by trying to start all officers’ terms on Jan. 1. In some cases this would have lengthened some terms that of Alford, for example; Judge Alford’s term, regularly, would have expired on Nov. 17, 1906, his former commissions having borne that date. The law of 1903 extended his term until Jan. 1, 1907. however, In order that his successor could enter the office on the first day of the year. Why It Seems a Failure. In effect Attorney General Miller’s opinion declares that the statement In section 1 of the act. declaring x that ail county officers should take their office on Jan. 1 following their election, was dependent on the provision that made certain exceptions in order that officers then elected might serve out their full terms. The supreme court held the proviso to be unconstitutional, and the attorney general holds that the proviso is so closely interwoven with the statement itself as to make the whole first section of the law unconstitutional.

BITER IS BADLY BITTEN Phony Man Gets Beat by a Barber, and at His Own Game. Too. Muncie, Ind.. Nov. 16.—Arthur Stout cleverly beat a swindler at the latter’s own game and as a result of pis feat now has a SSO diamond that cost him only sl3. A strange man pretending to be hard pressed for money offered to sell Stone a diamond for sl2 and said he would wait until Stone took the stone to a jeweler to obtain the latter’s opinion of It. A jeweler who was consulted told Stout the diamond, was worth SSO and Stout agreed to buy it. The stranger tried to substitute a “phony” diamond for it but Stout detected the trick and took both the real and the false diamonds. When caught the stranger confessed that he made his living by the graft and offered to buy back the diamond for S4O, but Stout refused. Had Been Beating the Company. Columbus, Ind., Nov. 16.—The Indianapolis, Columbus and Southern Tractlon company has received a letter from a woman at Indianapolis, signing herself “Conscience,” in which she inclosed 50 cents to repay the company for “deadhead” rides on the traction cars, and saying that she could not rest easy till restitution had been made. Gov. Hanly, Under the Weather. Indianapolis, Nov. 16. Governor Hanly is confined to his bed in a physically exhausted conditldn. His physicians have instructed him to observe absolute rest if he desires to Resume his duties in a reasonable length of time.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Keeping Onions In Winter. To keep onions through the winter there are two important points to remember. They must be perfectly dry when cribbed and must be kept in a very cool place, with plenty of ventilation. A temperature of about 32 degrees is necessary to preserve onions. A good way to store onions is to build shelves or blns with slats so the air can circulate freely among them. Do not pile them more than two feet deep, because they are likely to get warm and rot. There is little danger of the temperature getting too low for onions. They have been known to withstand a temperature of less than zero without freezing. Should they happen to become frozen, however, they should not be handled, but kept in the dark. Moving and handling them do more harm than the frost.

Sore Mouth of Cattle. The treatment for Mycotic stomatitis, or sore mouth of cattle, is as follows: Bring the affected animal to the barn or barnyard and feed on soft, nutritious food, such as bran mashes, ground feed and gruels. A bucket of clear cool water should be kept constantly in the manger, so that the animal can drink or wash its mouth at pleasure. It will be found helpful to dissolve two heaping tablespoonfuls of borax or one tablespoonful of chlorate of potash in each of the first two bucketfuls of water given during the day. Swab out the mouth daily with a 2 per cent solution of carbolic acid or of creolin or a 1 per cent solution of permanganate of potash or one part of hydrogen peroxide in two parts of water.— Atlanta Constitution.

Facta About Horaea. Some people say it is a good plan to cross English Shires with Clydes. If a filly is strong and large she may be bred at twp years, but it is generally better to wait another year. It means stronger colts. Silage may be fed to horses In small quantities, provided it is absolutely sweet; if not, it is dangerous. No good farmer thinks of selling a hog without fattening him. Then why not fatten horses for the market? TJie Arab always gives his mare a run of five miles Just before she is to be bred. Mares that are worked regularly while In heat are surer of their foals. It does not hurt a mare to give hey-, moderate work up to within a week of foaling.
