from open awlob, narrowly escaping
barling its passengers to the to the
pavement below, many minor ouuis
lons were reported and traffic for a
time was bronghi to a standstill
The most serious collision was at
the crossing of the Belt Line railway
and Fllty ninth street, where an in
coming train aasnea down a pan a
uaisteao street surface car. The car
was crowded and the force of tne col
lision was so. great that it was ont
sqoaely in two and its occupants
hurled to either tide into the street
Fifteen of the passengers were injur-

tendance, while a dozen others sue
tained bruises and cuts.
So dense was the fog that searchers
groped their way to the Injured by the
cries. - -

fog was to dense that the light did not
penetrate its murk nets until broad

finding their way, and teaming traffic
was brought to a halt after numerous
minor accidents bad 'taken place at
street crossings.
A Humbolt Park elevated train
jumped the track in tbe fog, narrowly
escaping being precipitated to the
ground. A panic ensued among the
passenger. The north aide cable ays
aleo tied up for two hours, as a result
of the jamming of the cable slot.

he has iust out out in apples ad dis
posed of and in tbe early kkriag will
plant this to apples alto. Tut vane
ties seleoted for this new tract will
consist of the Yellow, Newtownt,
Soittenberzs. Romsn Beauties, and
Gsnoe in about equal quantities.
Tbe trees will be planted 60 to tbe
acre which means 8000 trees on tbe
16U tract As everything is figured
from a wheat standard in this seotion
ol the si te it will require very little
speoulaiioJ 10 show tbat (ruit and
wheat acre for acre are not to be
00m pared. 160 acres in apples at six
veers old will prolnoe 8000 boxes
which sell at 60 cents per box means
an income of 124,000. 160 acres in
wheat at 40 bushels to tbe sore means
6400 bushels st 60 cents per but b el
means $3840 a difference in favor of
tbe apple orbbard of 120 ,160.
This is the reason wuy Union
county it one of tbe banner counties
in the state wo have so many products
tbat are revenue producers betidet
wheat and when it comes to growing
wheat we still produce it by tbe thou
sands of bushels. Anotbir lllustra

beets the factory paid the growers
$105,000 the same acreage in wheat

ed at 60 centa per busbel would bave
brought in $60 ,000. Here again is a
gain over wheat of $40,000 (or the
some acreage. .

truth and ssy, 'We tried for many
years to live in Mississippi and ahare
sovereignity and dominion with the
negro and we saw oar institutions
crambl ng; we saw the pabllo funds
squandered; we taw the olvillzatlon
that our forefathers had fonght for
passing away, and the law of self pr
servation being the first law, we ob
aerved it. We rote In tbe majesty and
highest type of Anglo-Ssxon manhood
and took the reins . of government oat
of the hands of the carpetbagger and
negro, and, so help as God, from now
on we will never share any sovereign
ty or dominion with him again.' "

men of draft horses of merit. An Ob
server representative oalled at the .
siahle this morning and was shown
these splendid horses and ii willing
to state they are without doubt the
fln.it horses he has ever seen In this
state. There are seven in number, all
of which with bat one exception, were
Imported direct. Tbe one exception
la a blaok' peroberon colt which tips ,
the beam at a little better than eight
een hundred pounds. He is aa beauti
ful as he is big and has a dltpoeltlon
which will make him a pleasure to bis
handlers These horses are all large,
the Shire reaching above the ton mark. -They
all seem to have kindly dis
positions and are seemingly handled
without any more'' trouble than the
average gelding. The horsemen of
thia county should call at the barn
and see these splendid animals. The
time has passed when saddle ponies
are of value, bat there la always a
good demand for draft horses. This
opportunity toeeoare better stock for
this valley should receive attention
from our stxk raisers .
