Train Too Long for Siding.
The freight train had taken a siding
nt Malta , but the train was longer than
the siding and the freight locomotive
protruded upon the main track beyond
the side track. The incoming passen
ger train from the west was not
stopped until the two locomotives
"cornered" at the switch , the passen
ger engine being thrown into the ditch
and several coaches piling upon the
wreck. The cars caught flro from
the locomotive.
Duncan , the sleeping car porter ,
was the only person killed outright-
Mr. am1 Mrs. Rudio and Mr. Nichols
died from their injuries while being
"brought to Chicago. At St. Luke's
wospltal it is stated that wl le several
of the Injured are in a serious con
dition , all , it is believed by the attend
ing physicians , 111 recover.
A statement given out by officials
of the railroad company explains thai
tlio switch at the cast end of the sid
ing was open through mistake and
that the responsibility probably lies
with some member of the crew of the
freight train. The statement places
the company's property loss at about
$30,000.

John Shoentgen of Council Bluffs ,
one of the injured , speaking of the ac
cident , said : "I was asleep in my
berth 'when the crash came and n
moment later found myself under
neath a pile of wreckage on the track.
I was In my nlghtclothos and after
great difficulty found a way out , and
crawled onto a snow bank. The car
caught fire , but I had time to crawl
back to where I saw my valise lying ,
and I got it and dressed myself in the
unow. The inhabitants of the village
turned out at once and began the work
of rescue , hauling passengers out
through the wreckage and fighting the
flre , which spread rapidly all over the
piled up tracks. "
George W. Rudio , in the rear Pull
man from Omaha , with his wife , was
fearfully burned by steam , and In
eplte of all medical aid , died half an
hour after the accident In great agony.
Mrs. Rudlo , who was brought to Chicago
cage on the relief train , was so badly
burned that she died a few minutes
after her arrival at St. Luke's hos

few minutes after the message had

" Why Should Ca
lamity Be Full of
Words ? "
The mere saying of words is
easy , and some men devote
their whole lives to it. They
talk rather than act. The ca
lamity howlers in any commu
nity arc of this kind.
While the unsuccessful busi
ness man is talking the success
ful man is acting. When he
speaks he uses words , but he
tells facts. He seldom , how
ever , depends upon his own
voice.
He brings to his aid the trumpet tongucd
voice of the press.
He purchases space in the
advertising columns of his local
paper , and he uses it to good
advantage.
This is your local paper.
There is space ia these col
umns for use. Are you add
ing its strength to your voice ?
Properly used it will aid you.
