Kansas City, Mo., July 11. Sixteen
people wore killed anil about CO in
jured in n wreck caused by a head
end collision on the Chicago & Alton
railway between Marshall and Slater,
Mo., nt seven o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Seven of those killed died iu
stnnlly. The others succumbed to
their injuries cither en route to Knn
ns City or nfter they had been con
vcyed to one of the local hospitals.
The trains came together headon,
while both were making n high rnte
of 'speed. Passengers assert that
they were trnvcling at the rate of GO
miles an hour. They felt, u sudden
shock, as the two gigantic engines
came together, and were thrown from
;nd to end of the cars they were rid
ing in. The engines pushed each
other to different sides of the track,
and the forward cars of the passen
ger train telescoped, the bnggage and
mail car piling upon the engine, nud
the chair car partiallly upon them.
Passengers wero thrown in every
direction, and many were pinioned
bo that they could not move. The
pipes connecting tho'nir brakes were
torn nsunder, and nt the same mo
ment steam began to pour forth
from a hundred Places. For those
who were inside the cars, or weight
ed down so that they could not move
there was hardly a means of cscapo.
Terrible senilis were added to tho
bruises they sustained, and caused
the dcntlis more than nny other thing.
The scene was terrible. Its horrors
were Increased by the groans and
monns of the Buffering and dying, and
by tho lowing of the cattle on the
wrecked freight. As rapidly as they
wore able, the more fortunate mnde
their escape from tho wrecked train,
mill the work of rescue was com
menced. '

London, July 14. John W. Book
wnlter, ex-governor of Ohio, who
sailed for tlte United States yesterday,
spent n few days in London nfter a
2,000-mile bicycle trip through south
ern Europe, during which he traversed
Italy almost frorti end to end, crossed
the Apennines, went over the Saint
Gothard rnnge and wheeled over the
mountainous ronds of Switzerland.
Bookwnltor spent the greater part of
his time living among nnd closely
studying peasantry, and he is thor
oughly convinced thnt a crisis la im
minent between the urban nnd rural
populations of tho world. In the rise
in the price of grnin he sees the begin
ning of n struggle of the agricultural
clement ngaiiiBt the concentration of
capital in cities. This movement, ho
believes, will commence in America,
where he belivcs the economic condi
tions nre infrior to those of Gcrmnny
nnd Trance, especially the latter,
which he maintnins in the soundest
country in the world, owing to the
distribution of wealth between tho
agrarian and metropolitan clnsscs.

other towns. Gov. Bichards says
that registration will be conducted
nt El Beno nnd Lawton only and that
if seven registration booths already
established are insufficient he will
open enough more to fill every re
quirement. Lew Horabeck, the minstrel man,
was in EI Beno yesterday morning.
He has abandoned all plans of oppo
sition to prescribed method of open

discouraged in the use of slang. Ho
would separate the sexes in the high

self attacked from all sides because of
his attitude on tho question of edu
cation of women, he said: "Do not
misunderstand me. I consider wo
man fully as brond nnd as worthy of
cultivation of the highest kind ns
man. She is broader in spirit nnd
more in touch with the human rnco

more numerous, forcing man to the'
puny, Insigniflcnnt unimal that is seen
in lower species in the male, but tho
woman of higher education, as It is
given at present, will not become the
mother of the future race."
Other educators were unwilling to
accept elthnr the statement that mnn
is to become as insigniflcnnt compared
to woman ns some male butterflies,
or that higher education is iulurious
to woman. The discussion resolved It
self largely into a difference between
