' Rock iBlniul Wreck Is the Same as
That of Dnvenport Man Known Here.

I From Tliurmluy'H Dally. !
It Is feared here Unit Julius Hur-
molstor. of Davt'iiiidit. lown , ono of
tlio ninny hilled In the HorU iHliind
wreck In Kansas Wednesday , Is the
Haunt Julius 10. HurmelHtcr who visited
nl th lioinn of Mr. and Mrs. George
I ) . Butterlleld last fall and who linn
been for years nvh'f r of the Iowa Na
tional hank of Miv < nport , Iowa , of
which Mrs. ButtorllHd'H fallicr , A. I' .
Doe , IB president.
l ! | > till after noon no word had been
obtainable to clear up the fear. Thn
nanio of Julius iturmclstcr WUH , Riven
among the dead In Associated Press
domicile * together with the plare of
residence an Davenport. Iowa. 'Phe
ngo was given an thirty-eight. 'I'he
Mr. UnrineiHler known heio was twen
ty-eight , lint It WIIH though ! thai error
might oiiHll.v have heen made.
The name of .InlliiH llurmolstor
among tlm dead fronted greatest np-
preheiiHlon In the home hero whore
ho visited. Seine hope , however , spri'm ?
front the fact that no private message
from Davenport had heon received and
fnrthor hope oamo from the faet that
the BurmelHtor mentioned In ( ho IIOWH
story was roportcd IIH one of a party
of eight homoseohorH , WIIH Bald to liiivo
been riding In the chair car when the
wreck occurred at 5:110 : a. in. , and to
have ROIIO forward Into the Hinoker.
The only fear , when these facta were
coiiHldorcd , waa that there might have
boon error rognrdlng these details ,
though It was thought If the report
was accurate that It could scarcely bo
the man-because It was believed .1. 13.
Burmelstor would have been In the
Pullman , unless ho had chanced to got
on the train for an honr'a ride or HO.
One Incident that tended to give a
serious view to the matter waa the
fact that friends hero know of no
other "JulhiB" Burmolster In Daven
port , though there are many other
families of them In that city.
A telegram was dlspntched Immedi
ately to Mr. Doe to learn definitely.
Mr. and Mrs. Dnrmolster vlalled In
Norfolk last fall for a week with Mr.
and Mrs. Uutterlleld.
This paragraph In the telegraph re
port dhl not tend to clear up the uncor
talnty : "It Is not known to a cer
tainty that Julius BurmolHtcr , of Dav
enport , Iowa , Is dead , but there Is
practically no chance that ho Is alive ,
lie was one of a party of eight homo-
seekers from Davenport who wore
riding In the chair car. Shortly before
the collision ho had gone Into the
smoker , and since the wreck his com
panions have been nimble to find any
trace of Uurmelstor or bis body. It Is
thought that ho was burned to death
and the corpse chaired , beyond recog
nition. "

It Is Impossible to Identify the deai
Mexicans.
The trains wore Nos. 29 and HO , run
nlng between Chicago and HI Paso
They met on a sharp curve with fear
ful impact. Adding to the horror o
the collision , fire from the lamps ii
the cars and locomotives was commit
nlcated to the splintered wreckage am
spread rapidly , consuming live of the
forward cars of train No. 20 , wcsl
bound , and burning a number of pas
sengers. All but three of those whr
perished are thought to have beei
Mexican laborers who were'on the !
, way from Columbus Junction , O. , t <
Mexico.
Boy Operator Blamed.
The ofllclals of the company place
the blame on John Lynos. the 10-year
1 old telegraph operator at Volland , win
failed to stop train No. 29 at his sta
tlon after receiving orders to hold 1
until No. 80 had passed. Lymles I
being hold by the authorities of Wa
bannsee county at Alma for Invostlga
tlon.
tlon.By
By the light of the ( laming wreckage
the passengers who were unlnjurci
worked heroically to save those whr
wore pinned fast beneath the mass o
splintered timbers and twisted Iroi
work. The lack of tools to work wit !
In chopping away the sides of the
cars was a great hindrance to the earl >
rescue work.
Knew Wreck Was Inevitable.
Five minutes before the trains
rrnnhed ( OROtliwr I ho oporntorfl for

The wreck occurred on a grade , on

Statement of the Operator.
John Lynos , the telegraph opoatir
it Volland , who ( led after letting No.
0 got by him , was arrested at Alma ,
en miles away. There , after making
1 statement before the cleik of the
listrict court , ho was placed In Jail ,
jynes , who Is but 19 years old , said
u his statement.
"I had been awake all night and was
lorfectly sober. At about ! or fi
) 'clock this morning the dispatcher
javo mo four outers ; one was for
second No. 20 to meet No. J0 ! at Vol
and Instead of Altavlsta ; No. 20 also
o meet No. 14 at Volland at the same
.line. No. 29 headed Into the east
switch and let No. 11 pass , bncVcd out
) f the east switch and headed down
ho main line. I thought It was going
0 stop at the depot tc take water , as
.rains have been doing , but Instead It
went by at from six to ton miles an
lour. Both boards wore at 'danger'
from the way the level stood In the
) Illco. I cleared No. 14 by pulling
.lown the right hand board for that
train , as I had no orders for No. 14 ,
leaving the westbound board at 'dan
ger , ' as my lever waa In proper place
In the ollice ; hut No. 29 did not stop
mill I ran out with my lantern , hut with
: wo swings across the track It went
out. I then ran to the pump house ,
grabbed the pumper's lantern , waved
It a few times , and It also wont out.
1 also called the pumper , telling him
what had happened. I went back to
the depot and told the dispatcher that
second No. 29 was by , and wo waited
to see If they were going to como backer
or not. I told the dispatcher that J
was coming to Topeka , and was trying
to got there. "
Lynes ( led before the wreck oc
curred , after first forecasting the Im
pending collision.
Five minutes before the trains met
lie called up the dispatcher and wired
lilm as follows :
"No. 29 has gone and I have gone
also. "
Then ho left his key. Even with
this dispatch In hand there was no
possible way of preventing the wreck
GOOD FEELING IN GERMANY.
Great Empire Is More Friendly to
America Than For a Lonq Time.
Berlin , Jan. 3. Prof. Muonstcrbert ,
of Harvard university , In an Interview
says that lately there has been a
marked change for the better In the
relations between Germany and the
United States. Ho gives three causes
for thls. The first Is the popularity o
Baron Speck von Sternburg , the Ger
man ambassador , and his close famll
larlty with President Roosevelt ; sec
ondly , because affairs relating to the
United States are now handled In the
ministry of foreign affairs by Her
Busch , for many years an attache a
Washington , and , third , the growing
antagonism between the United State
and Japan.
Formerly , Prof. Mnenstorbcrg sail
Americans believed that the next nn
tlon they would have to meet In wa
was Germany. Now the CnllfornI
question , the Philippines and the Sane
wlch Islands all presented points o
difference which might easily cause so
rlous trouble.
The reports that ho was cntruste
with u secret mission to the kaiser fo
the conclusion of a secret treaty be
tween the United States and Germanj
the professor declared , wore pure fan
cy.

PURE FOOD LAW IS WEAK.
Measure Which Came Into Effect To
day Found to be of Little Use.
New York , Jan. 2. The new year
finds the federal government Impotent
to enforce the provisions of the pure
food and drug law , which went Into
effect. There Is no machinery to en
force It , the only possible manner in
which It can be put Into operation be
ing through complaint and prosecution
ly private citizens before the United
States district court. There is no ap
propriation to pay Inspectors and su
perintendents , and It will be several
months before congress can make an
appropriation and organization be per
fected.
There Is no officer of any sort In this
city charged with enforcing the law.
There Is a disposition on the part of
many dealers In drugs , groceries and
spirits to evade the provisions of the
new law through clever subterfuges.
While there Is a large element dis
posed to meet the law squarely and
comply with all of Its provisions , there
Is an undeniably large contingent of
merchants In this city who are willing
to seize upon plausible pretexts for
evading the law. So , as In the past ,
consumers will continue to be the suf
ferers.
In the candy trade there seems to
be no disposition to evade the law.
The law provides that the Introduc
tion of terra alba , barytes , talc , chrome
yellow or other mineral substances ol
poisonous color or flavor , or any Ingre
dients detrimental to health , shall bo
regarded as adulteration. As the pub
lic will not buy candy which shows
upon the label that It Is adulterated
candy-makers will make no more of II
In this state at least. It must bo under
stood that the manufacturers who
amount to anything declared that thoj
do not use such adulterants. They sa >
that a perfectly pure candy may bo
made to retail at 10 cents.
In the grocery trade evasions will
bo few. The law provides that the old
labels shall be used up to October
next , and largo stocks of foodstuffs
have been laid In by some retail gro
cers with a view to working off on the
trade. The trade recognizes that chi
cory cannot hereafter bo added to
ground coffee , and sold under the
name of coffee.

MAYOR FRIDAY SAYS THERE IS
NO FUND FOR IT.
HE WOULD LIKE MORE LIGHTS
t Would be Impossible to Install an
All Night Street Light Service Now
Because No Levy Was Made for It
Last Summer Council Meets.
i Prnm Thursday's Dally. )
It would he Impossible at the pres
ent time for the city of Norfolk to In
stall nn all night lighting service on
he streets , In compliance with a sug
gestion made through these columns
n behalf of the commercial travelers
mil the railroad trainmen , according
o Mayor Friday. There Is no levy
or such expenditure at the present
line , according to the mayor , nor
could there be one made before next
summer at the regular time for assess-
ng the annual levy. But the mayor
believes that there ought to be an all
night street light service In Norfolk.
"The plan Is simply out of the ques
tion at the present time , " said that
official , when asked about the request
hat had been made.
"The levy last year did not provide
such an expense and as we are spend-
ng now all that wo can spend under
the levy that was made , there Is no
way of providing for the additional
'und that would bo needed.
"For myself , I wish that the streets
wore lighted all night. I think that
Norfolk pught to have lights on the
streets all night and more light , too. "
At the council mooting tonight
monthly reports from various city of-
Icials will be read. Bills will bo al
lowed and the city engineer will report
