WAS HURT TODAY III A COLLISION

Pinned Between Two Cars When Interurban Freight Car Crashes Into Rear End Of a Passenger Car.

IS FEARED INTERNAL INJURIES SUSTAINED

While Freight Car Was Going Down Hill Brakes Refused To Work and Car Could Not Be Stopped. As the result of the refusal of the air brake to work, freight car No. 9 on the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company collided with the rear end of passenger car No. 75, ,0t Dunreith,' Ind., this morning, about 8:30 o'clock, and pined John E. Urusaer, motorman, of this city, between the two cars. Brushers back was badly injured and it is thought internal injuries of a serious nature will develop. The accident was very peculiar. Urusber was running his car down rather a steep incline, near Dunreith. when he noticed the passenger car directly ahead, on the main track. He

immediately applied the brakes, but they refused to respond, and with great speed and increasing impetus the freight car crashed into the rear of the passenger, demolishing both coaches to a considerable extent. Hrusher was wedged in between the two cars and it was several minutes before he could be extracted. Hurried to the City. The man was placed on a car and hurried to his home. 245 South West Third street, where medical attention was given him. The motorman's suffering is intense and the physicians itre unable to ascertain the exact extent of his injuries. A hoodoo is evidently following Urusher, Within the past few years lie has been in five wrecks and received injuries in all of them. Only last month he h?-d his toes mashed in a wreck Pt Centerville, while about r year ago he spent several weeks in the hospital as the result of injuries sustained in a wreck near this city. Urusher is thirty-eight years of age and is married.

(Palladium Special) Washington, Dec. 9. China's great strides toward civilization are strikingly exemplified in the government's efforts to establish a modern educational system throughout the empire, according to information contained in a report from vice-consul W. R. Dorsey, at Shanghai. The system is similar to that used in Japan and when carried out it will compare favorably with that of any other country. The one great obstacle, according to the report, is the

lack of qualified teachers and the government is holding out substantial in-! ducements to any who are capable of doing this work. Aside from the new government institutions there are two other classes of schools in China the old style schools and the mission schools. The old style schools, which date back to the time of Confucius or earlier, are found throughout the empire. Their number is beyond computation; every village and hamlet has one or more. It is In them that the largest number of youths still receive their education, and it will probably be a long time before all of them are superceded by schools of modern learning. They are not a part of any government educational system, nor are they under any government regulation or supervision? They are really private schools opened in a room of an ordinary reed adobe or brick house by one of the literati under the old regime, who, in most cases, was born and reared in the neighborhood. The teachers collect their pupils at the great feasU Out of these primitive institutions have come some of the great men of China. The curriculum in them is very limited. Mathematics, science, geography and history are not taught, except in so far as they appear in the old classics. A certain amount of instruction is given in the use of the abacus, but the principal thing Is to teach the pu

pils to write, to memorize the classics, to make essays and compose poetry. No crayons or blackboards are used

in these schools. The pupils learn to

write from copies set by their teachers,

and which they at first trace with a

brush and India ink through a thin and very cheap paper made of bamboo fibre.

The various missions have opened

schools, from the primary day schools up to colleges and universities, in all

parts of China. There is not a prov

ince in the empire in which mission

schools of some grade are not estab

lished. In 1005. according to statistics

published in the records of the Cente

nary Mlssonary Conference, held in

Shanghai in 1907, there were under

the missions covered by that conference, 2,10ti day or primary schools,

having 42,545 pupils and intermediate and high schools and colleges with 15.137 pupils. Since then the

number has increased.
