Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Limited express Ditched Near Kansas City. 17 PASSENGERS ARE VICTIMS, Spreading Kails Caused -V',,i,,tMlt While Train Was Kuimlng Only About 15 Miles H Hour. Altamont, Mo.. Aug. 18.-The "Chi cago Limited" on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway, which left Kansas City for the north last evening, was wrecked by spreading rails two miles east of here. Two persons were perhaps fatally hurt and 15 others were seriously injured. , The train, which was made up of baggage, smoker, two chair cars, a " ' Pullman sleeper and an observ vatinn car, was running at the rate of only - n h,.i n-hon thp iircident oo- curred. The baggage oar, smoker and one chair car were turned over and went down the embankment and were more or less damaged. The other cars remained upright. Most of the injured were in the chair car. Among them were five members of one family named Byron of Chi cago, all of whom sustained serious Injuries. Medical aid was sent from Altamont and Gallatin and after much delay the Injured were brought to this city and placed In a hotel here. Every atention possible was given them and with the exception of baggageman Bates and News Agent Brock It Js believed all will recover. STEEL MARKET UNCERTAIN. Prices Weak and General Uneasiness in the Big Pools. New York, Aug. 18. Considering the fact that the "gentlemen's agreement" In the steel trade has long possessed a "shadow value," says the Iron Age, "the effect upon sentiment of recent occurrences has been rather surpris ing. "Certain demands have been made upon the republic company in connec tion with the conversion contract and have been flatly refused and there the matter rests. "So far as the great mass of the ton nage of finished steel is concerned, the situation is not at all changed whether billets are selling at $23 or $19. The great companies which make finished products going back to the ore, are not affected at all. The large consumers of steel either have their conversion contracts, or their sliding scale con tracts based on pig iron which has de clined from natural causes. Under these sliding scale contracts they have been getting their steel at close to $19 for some time past. It is only a lim ited number of small outside forges and rolling mills who have been held under the agreement and with a wide open market for steel they will simply be placed in a somewhat better position to fight for a modest share of the fin ished lines. In a market like the pres ent this may have some influence. "The real danger lies in the gather ing of a disintegration among the more serious pools in the finished trade. Foremost among these are the Beam Association. It is reported that the structural pool has invited a large In terest to enter and this invitation has been declined on the ground that the pool agreement was not being kept. "It seems probable that the position of the markets in this branch will be thoroughly tested by the results of the bids on the large amount of work for the South Side Elevated Company of Chicago, which will probably be known this week. The outlook for the main- -TeTignce-cf -prices on structural -material Is not regarded as particularly prom ising. There is general uneasiness too in the plate pool. Reports are current that steel rail makers will probably take up the matter of 1905 prices early during September. In the meantime the selling prices of light rails art showing a further decline, and what little business Is doing is being fought for until at times as low as $18.50 and $19 at the mill is being accepted. The south labor situation Is expected to come to a head at an early date. "There may be some trouble, but It is believed that it will be long be fore the district is again producing at a normal rate. In the meantime the northern furnaces are taking the greater part of what business is com ing up on the basis of $11.50 for No. 2 foundry at furnace. Lease Plans Abandoned. New York, Aug. 18.

The experiment was a complete suc cess and Harlem was reached well within the time allowance of 15 min utes. To those on the trains the sta tions appeared and melted away as In a picture. So quietly did the cars move at highest speed that only the watchman heard their passage. The greatest secrecy was maintained by the officials of the road. Men at the stations were Instructed to allow on one without a special permit to get be low the level of the street One of the objects of the experiment was to fa miliarize the men at the controllers with the twists and turns of the road. There are many signals to learn and the motonnen were confronted with j problems conceived by the superintend- j ent to fool them and teach them to avoid collisions. A. T. & S. F. TRAIN DITCHED. Scranton, Kan., Aug. 18. A special train from Cincinnati, bound for Coro nado beach, California, running ou, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway, was ditched one mile east of Scranton yesterday afternoon. One person was fatally injured and five hurt seriously. Six others received slight injuries. The Death Penalty. A little thing sometimes results In death. Thus a mere scratch, insignifi cant cuts or puny boils have paid the death penalty. It is ' wise to have Bucklen's Arnica Salve ever handy.

I have suffered for some time from an excess of urio acid in the blood ; and since the middle of last year, from a severe attack of Eczema, chiefly on the scalp, face, ears and neck and on one limb. I was for several months under professional treatments, but the remedies prescribed were of no avail, and I was gradually becoming worse, my face was dread fully disfigured and I lost nearly all my hair. At last, my wife prevailed upon me to try the Cnticnra Remedies and I gave them a thorough trial with the most satisfactory results. The disease soon began to disappear and my hair commenced to grow again. A fresh growth of hair is covering my bead, and my limb (although not yet quite cured) is gradually improving. My wife thinks so highly of your remedies that he has been purchasing them in order to make present to other persona suf fering from similar complaints, and, aa President of the Bible Women's Society, has told the Bible women to report If any case should come under their notice when a poor person Is so afflicted, so that your remedies may be resorted to." iT.- ROBERT ISAAC FINNEMORE, (Judge of the Natal 8npreme Court) Fletermaritzbarg, Natal, Oct. 29, 1901.

FIVE REASONS Why Young Men and Women Should Attend the PACIEICJLUTHERAN ACADEMY 1. It has a large faculty of well- trained and experienced teachers. 2. It believes that the School exists for the students, and not that the stu dents exist for the 8chool. 3. It furnishes tuition, board and room at the lowest possible rates, thus making it possible for persons of lim ited means to get a good education. 4. It gives persons whose early ed ucation has been neglected an oppor tunity to study just such branches as they need. For further information apply to DEPARTMENT B, PACIFIC LUTHERAN ACADEMY.
