ONE IS KILLED; SEVEN ARE FA-

A Jersey minister describes a model
husband as a man who treats his wife
as his equal, gives her a reasonable
amount of spending money, scatters
sunshine in the home and never stops
courting his wife. Here come In the
vast differences of the point of view.
To a wife this minister seems to be
demanding only reasonable require-
ments. To a husband he seems to be
picturing an angel.
The transitory nature of life In Alas-

ten o'clock we saw a big dory drifting
down the stream. A corpulent miner,
with all kinds of things, was In the
boat. To our question: 'How far to
Youngstown?' he answered? 'It used
to be 20 miles above, but It just
moved. I have the town in the dory
and am taking It down the stream.'

MOTORMAN FORGOT CURVE
Score of Passengers Crushed, Bruised
and Internally Injured. Iron
Bar Cuts Child's Trdoat.
St. Louis, Mo., June 8.—An east-
bound Creve Coeur car loaded with
ninety-three men, women and children,
lumped the track while taking a curve
at forty-three miles an hour near Del-
mar Garden late Saturday night, In-
juring over half the passengers and
causing one death. Of those hurt, sev-
en are so badly mangled that they will
die, according to the physicians at
the hospitals where they have been
taken.
The accident occurred within 500
yards of Delmar Garden, which was
filled with thousands of people. Half
of the passengers were women and
children, returning from Sunday
School picnics at Creve Coeur Lake.
There was no panic in the car after
it overturned, and as soon as the
men recovered themselves they looked
after the women and children, passing
them through slits in the canvas
roof .which they cut with knives. The
car was of the variety known as a
moonlight gondola, with an open side
and a screened side and a canvas roof.
The closed side is the one near the
other track.
When the car leaped in the air and
overturned it struck with the closed
side to the ground.
The motorman was arrested soon
after the accident, and made a state-
ment in which he says he was on his
first trip on the Creve Coeur line.
He admltB that he had been warned
about the dangerous curve where the
car was wrecked, and says he forgot
the warning. He has been a motor-
man for nine months.
The conductor was dragged out from
beneath the motor box with his chest
crushed in and both legs cut off. The
motorman was pitched from the plat-
form several feet away from the car.
He was knocked unconscious, but not
seriously injured.
Half of the passengers on the car
were women and children returning
from Sunday School picnics at the
lake. Many women were pulled from
under the wreckage of the car un-
conscious and bleeding from various
wounds. One of the children's throats
was cut from ear to ear by being
shoved against an iron bar over a
window.
MR. BAILEY MAY BE SERIOUSLY ILL.
No Reply t* Inquiries Stnt to His
Apartment.
New York, June 10.—A newspaper
representative called at Waldorf-As-
toria last night and sent his card to
the apartments of Senator Joseph W.
Bailey. A reply was returned that
no visitors were received, and request-
ing to explain in writing his wants.
Thereupon the following wss sent to
the Senator's apartments: "Reports of
the serious condition of Senator J.
W. Bailey are being circulated, and
rumor has it that the gravity of his
ailment portends serious, if not fatal,
results. Would thank you to confirm
or deny the reports."
The messenger returned with the
words, "There is no reply."
Many inquiries emanating from va-
rious sources were similarly treated.
It was learned, however, that "the
Senator is doing quite nicely." Noth-
ing official is obtainable around the
hotel, the clerks all refusing informa-
tion. They will neither admit or deny
the rumors going the rounds of the
corridors, nor will they admit that
an operation has been performed.
The Senator, however, Is confined to
his apartment, and Is not receiving vis-
itors.
Tragedies of County Seat War.
Muskogee, Ok., June 9.—The Mc-
intosh County seat fight assumed its
second stage when General. Dunlap,
who was guarding the court house in
Eufaula, was shot and instantly killed
last night about 9 o'clock In the hall-
way on the third floor of the Hotel
Foley.
Night before last F. M. Wood was
shot and fatally wounded by Joe Par-
menter.
The tragedy has stirred all Eufaula.
and for n time there was fear of
mob violence. In the afternoon Dun-
lap was heard to say that he antici-
pated trouble. Dunlap was for a num-
ber of years deputy under United
States Marshal Bennett.
8AYS ACREAGE IS UNCHANGED.
Cotton Crop Same Amount In Acreage
as Last Year.
New Orleans, June 8.—The Times-
Democrat today says:
The Times-Democrat herewith pre-
sents the first of its reports on the
cotton crop of 1908. The concensus of
correspondents' opinion seems to be
as follows:
The acreage Is practically un-
changed, as compared with last year.
The change, if any, has been in the
division of a trifling increase.
The stands have been impaired and
cultivation has been retarded by ex-
cessive rainfall over wide areas of
the belts.
The supply of labor is, as a rule,
better than It has been within the
recent past.
Complaints of boll weevil come from
certain districtB west of the Missis-
sippi.
; The outlook, taken, as a whole, Is
fair, but the ultimate outcome will
depend upon the character of the sea-
son from this time forth, and the
date of frost will cut a great figure.
A good deal of alluvial land has
been overflowed, and the result of
replanting is to the last degree prob-
lematical.
Cyclone Visits Texarkana.
Texarkana: This city was visited
by a cyclone during the noon hour
Tuesday and much damage of a minor
nature resulted in the form of par-
tially wrecked buildings, the destruc-
tion of trees, smoke stacks, windows
and outhouses. The wind blew at a
terrific rate for about ten minutes,
and was followed by a rain that was
little short of a cloudburst. So far as
is known no serious personal injuries
were sustained.
HO FOR SAN ANTONIO!
PROS CARRY THEIR POINT
Dallas, June 9.—At Its meeting held
in this city yesterday the Democratic
State Executive Committee ordered
that the following propositions be sub-
mitted to the voters in the primary
election to be held on July 25.
Prohibition Ticket.
"For the submission by the Thirty-
First Legislature of this State of a Con-
stitutional ameudinent to the people
for their adoption or rejection prohib-
iting within the State of Texas the
manufacture, sale, gift, exchange and
interstate shipment of spirituous, vin-
ous and malt liquors and medicated
bitters capable of producing Intoxica-
tion .except for medicinal and sacra-
mental."
"Against the foregoing."
Local Option Ticket.
"For the system of local option and
proper legislative enactments for the
perfection of the laws so as to pre-
vent the barter or sale of intoxlcutlng
beverages in local option districts."
"Against the foregoing."
When to the paragraphs which have
preceded this one is added the state-
ment that San Antonio was selected
as the place for holding the State Con-
vention of the party In August, and
that suitable arrangements were
made for putting into effect all the
actions taken, the story of the salient
features of the sessions of the com-
mittee hus been told.
Both sides In the prohibition were
well represented and made a lively but
good-humored fight from start to fin-
ish. The formal submission of the
State-wide petition was by Sterling
P. Strong, Chairman of the committee
on that side, and the local option peti-
tion was presented to the committee
by John L. Wortham, Chairman on the
other side. The first was said to have
something over 44,000 signatures, and
the latter is claimed to have append-
ed more than 50,000, with about 5000
others on the way.

treatment at the Episcopal Eye, Ear
and Throat Hospital in this city. If
further improvement is shown it may
not be necessary to operate on the

Gordon has already proved Itself one

which was equipped at the State Fair
Grounds, and it is here that all com-
ers who wish It will be entertained
free. A large majority of the veter-
ans have preferred to go there rather
than to private homes, as it will give
them so much better opportunity of
meeting their old comrades.
