The University of Chicago “co-eds” are now making the acquaintance of the ancient distinction between theory and faet. The theory is that they ought to be happy with a daily allowance of just the quantity and just the quality of food the books say they should have. The fact-is that they are very hungry. The unpleasant state is in no way mitigated by the flashing of figures to prove that they are happy.

The American mule has received a handsome compliment from the British government, a parliamentary paper describing him as “the best received from any source.” Over here, where we are intimately aequainted with the American mule, we "shauld hesitate long before applying to him the adjective “good” in any of its degrees. He is a useful beast, and efficient in many callings, but he is not good. He is a mule. z

The latest achievement of Signor Marconi in transmitting a message with his wireless system over a distance of 1,551.5 miles not only breaks all previous records for wireless telegraphy, but it brings more fully to the front the value of this means of ecommunication as a practical commercial enterprise. It may not have solved the problem of sending wireless messages across the Atlantie, but it has demonstrated that the system is likely uitimately to supplant the cable for short distances in marine telegraphy.

According to a bulletin recently published by the census bureau there has been of late years a free migration between the northern and southern states. Many old-time southerners have found homes in the northern states, and even more northerners have been going south to developits resources and industries. In 1900 there were in the north 958,974 white persons who had been born in the south. On the other hand, the number of northerners resident in the south in 1900 was 1,022,776, an increase of 61 per cent. in the decade. :

Dark clouds are over Spain’s horizon, but there is no likelihood that they will break..

Broken Rail Causes Terrible Disaster " in Texas—Fifteen Persons Are Killed, Many Injured. .

San Antonio, Tex., March S.—A broken rail caused a frightful wreck on the Southern Pacific railroad mnear Maxon station, 25 miles west of Sanderson, at three o’clock Friday morning. From the latest accounts received here 15 people were killed outright and 28 were more or less injured. The dead are:

Three children of Mart Riddle, of Cetopa, Kan.; Estavon Contraras, Del Rio, Tex.; Andrew C. Shelly, wife and child, Loiror, Tex.; ehild of D. E. Housen, Racine, Wis. ; Mr. and Mrs. White, Manitowo¢, Wis.; Engineer Al Mast, El Paso, Tex.; Fireman H. Bertscholst, El Paso, Tex:; L. A.

Martin, Pecos City, Tex., slightly injured; C.-W. B. Bennett, St. Paul, Kan., bruised; W. 8. Glenn, Blackhawk, Miss., leg broken; Mrs. Annie Wortherst, San Francisco, leg and hand crushed. _ The ill-fated train left §an Antonio at noon Thursday, 2Y, hours late, and at the time the accident occurred was running at a high rate of speed in order to make up time. The road at the point where the wreck occurred is in a rough country, the curves being sharp and the grades heavy. It was when rounding a curve that the train left the track, it is said, on account of a broken rail. The hour was three a.m., 15 hours after the train had left San Antonio, showing that it was still behind time. " All the "passengers were asleep and the shock that followed was the first intimation they had of the danger. The train was going at such a rate of speed that the tender and engine landed 75 feet from where they left the rails. The cars behind piled up against the engine, caught fire and all were consumed except the sleepers. All the injured in the coaches just behind the express and baggage cars were cremated. The people in the sleepers were saved with the assistance of the uninjured passengers.

- The wrecked train was the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio westbound passenger No. 9, and consisted of an engine, mail car, baggage car, one coach. one chair car, three tourist sleepers, one Pullman sleeper and one private car. The mail car, the baggage car and coaches were piled together against the engine and were ablaze in a few seconds. It wasimpossible to move any of the coaches or the tourist cars, as they were all off the rails, and they were consumed by the flames.

So soon as it was possible to get in communication with the division headquarters a relief train with surgeons and physicians were started from El Faso, Del Rio, and Sanderson, picking up along the line all the surgeons that could be found. All of the injured who were in a condition to be moved were sent to El Paso, where they are receiving careful attention.

The station agent at Tabor saw the flames from the wreck. seven mileg away, and went to the rescue on a handcar. On arriving a terrible scene confronted him. Passengers who were able to get out of the wreck were running about in a frantic manner, while the groans of the dying and roasting unfortunates in the wreck was terrible. Many were dragged out in g mangled and dytng condition, J+ g reported that a few passengers in the two day coaches were saved, as both cars were piled on top of the baggage and mail ears. The first coach was filled with California emigrants, and many of these lost their lives. Conduector Stockwell, on finding all his crew of trainmen killed or wounded, started back over the country seven miles to the nearest {elegraph office from which the first news of the terrible accident was sent.

Reassuring Word from Philippines.

Manila, March B.—Acting' Gov.

The utterances of Senor Ampil, the former presidente of the town of Caintra, Morong, who was recently captured by insurgents, and subsequently escaped, are classed by Mr. Wright as being unreliable and as merely the remarks of a man half crazed with terror. i

HUSBAND ARRESTED.

William XKlump, of Lowell, Miech,, Charged with Poisoning His Wife,

Grand Rapids, Mich., March B.—Latest developments in the investigation into the death of Mrs. Ada Klump, the young wife of William Klump, of Lowell, point to oie of the most coldblooded murders Michigan has ever known. After a diligent inquiry into the circumstances of the case Sheriff Chapman Friday afternoon took William Klump into custody and lodged him in jail here. The officers express the belief that Klump either sent the deadly powders through the mail himself or knew who did send them, and that the main object was the removal of Mrs. Klump. The theory is that the doctored powders were substituted for the real headache and harmless powders and that they were sent to several persons in the village for the purpose of throwing the blame upon the manufacturers of the headache remedy and thus divert suspicion from the sender of the poison. A motive is found for the alleged crime in the story that Klump wasinfatuated with another woman, a widow, whom, it is alleged, Klump had agreed' to marry before he met and won the love of the pretty 15-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Watson, of Lowell. Klump has been married twice, and his first wife lives in Lowell. It.is claimed that the other woman in the case was the cause of his separation from his first wife. The sheriff and his deputies are trying to locate Hattie Whitfield. She at one time lived in this city, and it is said that Klump visited her here. Officers went to the home of her parents in Vergennes, but did not find her there, nor could they learn where she had gone., :

Klump was interviewed at the jail. He is about 35 years of age. He declared he was entirely innocent of the charge on which he was arrested. He said he had no knowledge of what the alleged sample headache powders contained or from whence they came. He got the envelope containing the powder addressed to his wife at the Lowell post office with scme other mail, and brought it to the house, supposing it was an ordinary advertising sample. He denied the truth of the reports that he had been attentive to, another woman, or that there was any reason for his wanting his wife out of the way.

ALICE TO STAY AT HOME.

President Roosevelt Decides That His Daughter Shall Not Attend : Edward’s Coronation,

Washington, March B.—Miss Alice Roosevelt, daughter of the president, will not attend the coronation of King Edward. While the white house officials decline to discuss the matter, it was stated by those in position to know that the president had decided that she should not go. : s

It is learned that the reasoh why Miss Roosevelt will not attend the coronation of King Edward VIIL is because it has been found practically impossible for her to go simply as a young American girl traveling private1y in the household of special Ambassador Reid. Notwithstanding it was stated she would not go to London as daughter of the president, but simply as Miss Roosevelt, it was learned that London court cireles were considering seriously the question of the status she would oceupy in all coronation funetions. When Miss Roosevelt’s status became a matter of international discussion, the president first considered the advisability of canceling the visit, but not until it was found that an invithtion to visit the emperor and empress of Germany was on the way to America was it decided that in view of the extréeme youth of Miss Roosevelt and the internatioral conditions as well as eourtesies she would be called on to meet, the English visit and all its delights would have to be relinquished.

TREATIES MUST WAIT.

Agreements with Spain Held Up Until » the Coronation of the Young King,

Washington, March B.—The new Spanish treaties must wait upon the accession to the throne of the young Spanish king before they can be ratified owing to internal political conditions in Spain, and the reluctance of the existing government to assume any measure of responsibility pending the expiration of the regency and the coronation of the king. This event will occur on the 17th of May and it is expected that a new cabinet and a stronger one will be installed. It is hoped that the delay in the treaty negotiations will be very brief. ‘ British Troopers Shot.

CONGRESSMAN HOWARD, OF ALABAMA.

Hozuse of Representatives, Washington, Feb. 4, 1899. % The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen—*¢‘l have taken Peruna now for two weeks, andfind I am ver. much relieved. I feel that my cu will be permanent. [ have also tak it for la grippe, and I take pleasure recommending Peruna as an excellent remedy to all fellow sufferers.’’ M. W. HOWARD. Congressman Howard’'s home address is Fort Payne, Ala. MOST people think that catarrh is a disease confined to the head and nose. Nothing is farther from the truth. It may be thatthe nose and throat are the oftenest affected by catarrh, but if this is so it is so only because these parts are more exposed to the vicissitudes of the climate than the other parts of the body. Every organ, every duct, every cavity of the human body is liable to catarrh. A maltitude of ailments depend on catarrh. This is true winter and summer. Catarrh causes: many cases of chronic disease, where the victim has not the slightest suspicion that catarrh hasany thing to do with it. ° The following letter which gives the experience of Mr. A. C. Lockhart is a case in point: ; Mr. A. C. Lockhart, corner-Cottage St. and Thurston Road, Rochester, N. Y., in a letter written to Dr. Hartman says the following of Peruna: ‘“About fifteen years ago I commenced to be ailing, and consulted a physician. He profounced my trouble a species of dyspepsia, and

FOR HER SISTERS’ SAKE.

Stendal, Ind., Mar. 10th.—Mrs Sarah A. Shrode of this place says: : “I suffered much as many other women do with Kidney and Bladder Troubles. I tried many medicines but got no relief till I used Dodd’s Kidney Pills. ; “Nine boxes of this remedy cured me completely and I feel it my duty to my fellow women to make this statement. 3

“I can heartily recommend them to any woman suffering with Kidney and Bladder Ailments.”

The words of Mrs. Shrode will be good news to many of her suffering sisters. Dodd’s Kidney Pills have proven themselves to be sick women’s best friend, for they are as effectual in all cases of Female Weakness as in Bladder and Kidney Disease. ;
