Engineer Forgot OrdorB.
According to tho local office of tho
Missouri Paolflc the engineer of tho
freight had forgotton his orders. He
had been ordered to wait on a oldlng at
Knobnostor, Just east of Warrensburg,
but neglected to do bo. Tho trains mot
at a sharp curve.
Running- at High Speed.
Both trains were running at a good
jrato of speed when the collision oo
ourred. Dawn had hardly begun to
break and neither crew was aware of the
approaoh of tho other train until they
were almost upon ach other. Tho Im
pact of the collision was terrlflo. The
sleeping passengors were hurled in
every direction.
Killed in First Coach.
Tho most of the killed wero In the for
ward coach, which was well crowded
with passengers. The opot Where the
wreck occurred wao in a narrow cut and
this fact with the darkness added to the
difficulty of the situation. The greatest
confusion ensued after the first lull fol
lowing the craBh and the groans of the
injured wero added to the escaping
steam of the wrecked locomotives.
Rescue "Work Slow.
It was some time before the doad and
injured could bo extricated from tho
debris. The dead were carried up the
track and laid in rows in an open space
until the relief train arrived, while tho
Injured were cared for as well as could
be. It was a long time before the names
of the victims could be secured, and the
nature of the injuries was known. Up to
9:30 no list had been received at the lo
cal office of the Missouri Pacific.
Llet on a Curve,
The scone of the wreck was on the
down grade, on cither side of which
there was a steep rise. Both trains had
put on extra steam to carry them up
tho opposite hill, and when they met at
the curve at tho lowest point they were
running at a terrific rate.
Coach Cut in Twain.
The passenger train was made up of
three coaches and a Pullman, with no
baggage car, the front coach being next
to the tender. The freight train was a
heavy one. WHien the trains met the
heavy freight train pushed the pas
senger engine back Into tho first coach.
The tender of tho passenger englno
literally cut tho coach in two in tho
center, and never stopped until it had
ploughed Itself half way through the
car and Its passengers.
Bodies Horribly Mutilated.
Half a dozen who were not killed out
right were so terribly injured that they
died before they could be removed from
the debris. Many of the dead wero al
most unrecognizable. Arms and legs
were dismembered In several caseB and,
together with pieces of wreck
age and baggage, were tumbled togeth
er In a confused mass of bleeding hu
man forms.
The Pullman remained upright, and
none of Its occupants was hurt beyond
sustaining a severe shaking up.
Sight a Horrible Ono.
So tightly were tho tender of tho pas
senger engine and tho first coach
wedged together that it will take un
usual efforts to separate them. Today
the engine stands backed into the
ccach, the front of which rears up
above it, the clothing of some of the
victims clinging to its Jagged ends and
blood spattered over it, a ghastly mon
ument to the dead.
Train Crew, Savo One, Escape.
The train crew, with the exception of
Brakeman SIdel. escaped miraculously,
the engineer and fireman sustaining
only minor hurts.
The injured were taken to SedaJIa,
and the dead to Warrensburg. At War
rensburg the Coroner Immediately set
about making preparations for holding
nn inquest.
Conductor Ron for Help.
Tho passenger conductor, E. I.
Barnes, ran all the way to Warrens
burg and broke tho news of the wreck.
Every physician In the town respond
ed and hundreds of citizens hastened
to the wreck and assisted the wounded
from beneath the timbers of the broken
cars.
Tw.enty Killed Outright,
Twenty people were killed outright
and seven died before S o'clock. The
dead wore placed upon fiat cars and ,
brought to this city, and Dr. Bills, tho
coroner, lmmraiuicij
and started an inquiry, which is still in
session.
What Freight Conductor Says.
The afternoon was taken up In lden
tlfvlng the dead, and tonight the con
ductor of the freight train la on the
stand He claims to have been dozing
while' his train was at Mount Serrat,
and when train No. CO passed Engineer
Horton believed it was the second sec
tion of No. SO, and, thinking the track
clear, pulled out on the main line.
Buried Under Dead Bodies.
r, c Dressel, postmaster at Eaton
vllle Kan., was taken out from under
a heap of seven dead bodleB and es
caped I with nothing more serious than
a broken lc- .

Czar's Men Assume the
Offensive.
Kuropatkin Means (o Give
Battle South of Muk
den. Has Prepared Tio Pass as Placo
to PwOtroat in Event of
Defeat.
LONDON, Oct. 11. Tho Morning
Post's Shanghai correspondent says
that it 1b stated that Lieut-Gen. StooH
sol has reported that unless he bo re
lieved boforo December ho must sur
render. Following Kuropatkln's sudden blow,
which resulted in the capture of tho
Japanese fortified position of Bontsla
putze and tho consequent flanking of
the Japanose right, the campaign in
Manchuria Booms to havo entered upon
an cntlroly now phase.
Russians on Offensive.
With the Russians now on tho offens
ive, as tho move seems to Indicate, tho
surmises to which the past ten days
of almost absolute news silence gavo
rise aro shattered, and It seems prac
tically certain that Kuropatkin means
to give battle south of Mukden and
that tho position he has prepared at
Tie pass is for the contingency of a
defeat and also to strengthen his gen
eral plan.
Week Beforo Battle.
In St. Petersburg it is believed that
at least a weok will elapse before tho
two armies meet, and In the moantimo
the vital question Is whether Oyama
will contest the present Russian ad
vance or fall back to his strong po
sitions to tho north of Liao Yawr.
Kuropatkin Moves Slowly.
Kuropatkln's advanco is being mado
with extremo slowness and delibera
tion, and it is now known that tho
movement against Bentslaputze has
been under way since October 4. Tho
now situation causes St. Potersburg to
believe that a winter campaign will
he undertaken.
Russians Buildings Earthworks.
A dispatch from tho field headquar
ters of tho Japanese second army says
that the Russians are building heavy
earthworks south of Mukden. Kuro
patkln's army Is moving In two Btrong
columns, on6 on each side of the rail
way, and they are entrenching as they
advance.
Vessels Sunk at Port Arthur.
Toklo reports that the Japanese re
cently encountered a heavy rifle firo
from the fleet and land batteries on
tho Russian vessels In Port Arthur,
sinking three of them.
KUROPATKIN" WILL FIGHT.
Has Men Enough to Make Stand
Against Advanco of Japanese.
ST, PETERSBURG, Oct. 10. Tho
formal announcement that Gen.
Kuropatkin Is at last strong enough
to assume tho offensive. togeth
er with unofficial reports that offensive
movements against the threo armies of
Field Marshal Oyama have been pro
gressing slnco October 1 has sent a thrill
of Joy throughout Russia. The an
nouncement, which has been awaited
through the long, weary months of dis
couragement and defeat, has an in
stancous effect.
Russians Tako Offensive.
The mystification of tho last ten days
regarding the exact situation Is cleared
up by the knowledge that the Russian
army Is taking the offensive and ex
plains the puzzling Mukden dispatches
of the Associated Press of October C,
reading:
"Something unusual is in the wind.
A great bustle Is now noticeable. The
streets are thronged with hurrying
crowds and Innumerable enrts and pack
mules."
The capture of Bentslaputze, which
was strongly fortified and where It was
reported Gen. Kuropatkin commanded
in person, Is officially confirmed. The
fighting, however, was not severe, the
Japanese retiring on finding themselves
outflanked. Tho Russian losses were
only twenty-five killed or wounded, In
cluding nn officer.
Six Miles Apart
A high officer of the general staff In
formed the Associated Pres3 today that
Kuropatkin is prepared to advance
with great cure, but when the main
collision will occur will depend on cir
cumstances, the movements of great
bodies of men being slow operations.
Heavy fighting Is hardly likely before a
week at the earliest.
"Only six miles separate the advance
lines," said the officer referred to, "nnd
an advance or counter advance might
precipitate a preliminary artillery en
casement at any moment."
It is now evident that Field Marshal
Oyama, aware that Kuropatkin Is pre
paring to strike, instead of extending
hlielf for the big flanking movement
east so much talked of, has recognized
tho 'necessity of meeting the Russian
advance by fortifying his positions to
the north of Liao Yonf.

Stop at Kearney.
At Kearnoy Senator Fairbanks was
eBcortod to a stand that had been

crowd. In his opoech the Senator re
ferred to a visit made to this Btato In
tho campaign of 1S0C, when ho said the
Industrial conditions woro vory differ
ent from what they now aro. Tho bank
deposits of tho State had increased
from ?30,000,000 in 1898 to $80,000,000
in 1903, and tho mortgages of the past
few years had bean largely decreased.
He asserted that this condition was
duo to tho fact that tho administration
of tho country has been in Republican
hands. Ho presented President Roose
velt in a strong light, paying that no
man understood tho needs of tho West
better than ho. The Senator was loudly
applauded.
Sonator Fairbanks presented tho
claims of President Roosovolt in strong
language, saying that no other man un
derstood tho needs of the West better
than he. The President's name was
loudly applauded.
Crowd at Lexington.
Lexington greeted Fairbanks with a
large crowd, and he spoke hero for
about ton minutes. Ho said: "Tho Re
publican party Is a practical party, and
does not lndulgo in moro Idols. Tho
question of more politics has a direct
boarlng upon our ovoryday Hvoh, and It
behoovos the people to investigate the
respective claims of the Republican and
Democratic parties to favor." He then
contrasted the records of tho two
organizations on economic questions to
the disadvantage of the former, and
urgod the popular support of tho ticket
headed by President Roosevelt.
Talks on Currency.
At Central City Senator Fairbanks
discussed the currency question, refer
ring to the contrast of 1S9C silver vs. tho
gold standard. Mr. Fairbanks con
tended that the victory of the gold
standard of tho Republican party
had had a generally beneficial oftoct.
"Up went tho price of cattle," he said,
"up wont tho price of wheat, of hogA
of ovorythlng, and up went also some
Democratic statesmen."
Trust Question Discussed.
In a speech at Omaha tonight Senator
Fairbanks discussed the trust question.
Senator Fairbanks spent tho nlirht hero
and tomorrow will bccln a two-days'

Tho American party county and leg
lslatlvo ticket, which appears In the
foregoing, wn3 nominated yesterday
afternoon In mass convention at the
Salt Lake theater.
And what a convention it wast
It so completely eclipsed anything of
tho kind held In Salt Lake City this
year as to make of that fact a mattor
for general comment.
Not many persons oxpected such a
general outpouring on a busy Monday
afternoon. The day was admittedly an
unfavorablo one. Business and work
ing men nnd busy housewives were
obliged to make a sacrifice to attend
tho convention yesterday But they
were there, hundreds of them, filling the
mnln floor of tho big theater to full
ness and hundreds finding seats In the
balconies and on the stage.
Unlike a delegate convention, tho
people wero there because they de
sired to go. They wero not delegated
nor directed to attend save by the same
motive of the mind and heart that
made the American party an immediate
force simultaneous with the announce
ment of Its birth.
A Marvel in Attendance
This volunteer attendance on a busy
day was not the most noteworthy feat
ure of the mass convention. The earn
estness of the people the cordlnllty
with which they received thoso who
were the principal actors was as strik
ing as was the numbers.
They listened with eagerness and
with understanding; they applauded
tho convention's work and the utter
ances of the speakers spontaneously.
Friends to the American pariy who
were there were there to help'thc Am
erican party organization. CurloBlty
iirr.w n. hundred, nerhnns. who dpslrprf
to know what an American party con
vention would do and what American
party speakers would say, but the great
majority who participated In the con
vention arc supporters of the move
ment. They were In hearty nccord
with the convention's proceedings.
Convention Attentive.
County Chairman George L, Nye and
the convention chairman, P. J. Daly,
each well-known and reputable citi
zens who afilllalo with different Na
tional parties, spoke briefly and were
listened to with marked attention. Each
recited telling truths concerning local
conditions and were liberally applaud
ed. Mrs. Nello Plnkerton Moore, one of
Salt Lake's most popular singers, whoso
volco Is full of sweotness.j thrilled tho,
convention with an exceptionally flno'
rendition of "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," and of "The Red, Whlto and
Blue" In response to an encore.
Tho Utah Stato band was also pres
ent with somo fine muslo, and the Am
erican Party Fife and Drum corps
aroused enthusiasm on the stroet.
Cannon's Great Speech.
Senator Frank J. Cannon attondod
the convention as tho principal spoak
er nnd he did himself and his party
proud.
Frank J. Cannon, as all Utah knows,
never disappoints a meeting. The
fire-away of his oratory, tho gift of lan-6-uago
which long ago permitted him
to tako rank with the best speakers
in the country, novor falls to plooso
his auditors, no matter how little or
how creat may bo the acceptableness
of his sentiments.
For Sonator Cannon words are nimble
sorvltorB. Ho employs them as a
skilled player uses tho kojTi of an in
strument. They aro never eluslvo.
Words that make senee and that aro
musical are always in his roach, and
hi3 arguments and his illustrations
carry conviction.
Great Day for Now Party.
Monday was a groat day in tho his
tory of tho American party of Utah.
Sonntor Cannon sounded a koynoto In
a speech full of sense and patriotic
fervor. And the big audience accept
ed his sentiments with the greatest of
enthusiasm.
It was a common expression that
Senator Cannon's speech mado votes
for tho American party and strength
ened tho faith of those already affiliat
ing with it
The county and city tickets aro mado
up of men. according to the general
opinion of the new party's friends, who
are representative citizens, and who
will make good officials if elected.
Monday's convention was a good
day's work, and that the people of Salt
Lako county will rally to the ticket by
thousands Is a growing conviction.

disclosed on the stage the officials of
the American party county committee j
and the members of tho Utah State
band. The band immediately struck
up "American Republic," amid the jH
oncers of tho American audience which S
filled the lower floor and the flrBt bal-
cony. In the audience were nearly as ,
many women as men. It was an audi
ence representative of the citizenship
and wealth of Utah, and in the mass of ;
faces was depicted an earnestness of
purpose such as is seen only when pub- ,
lie feeollng is stirred to the depths. ( ,
Tho wall space at the back of. the ,
stage was entirely filled by two huge , ( tH
streamers which bore in large letters .
the, following quotations: !
Church Mado the Barrier. H
"We do not draw the line. The church
Itself has made the barrier, and made It
morally Impassable." Frank J. Cannon. 1
"I saw ten years ago what I see now. , IH
Utah will never have peace until this ,
great Issue Is solved." Moses Thatcher.
County Chairman George L. Nye '
called the convention to order, and then 1
delivered a ringing speech, In which he 1
told of the objects for which It had been
called and the causes which made it iH
necessary for such a convention to be
held. iaiil J
Daly Permanent Chairman. 'Vsi
At the close of Mr. Nye's address he !H
announced that the county committee
had selected P. J. Daly as permanent
chairman of the convention. Mr. Daly H
was received with enthusiasm by the iH
convention, and after the applause had
subsided he proceeded to throw hot shot j
Into the camp of the enemy of political 1
liberty In Utah. He said: ;
Chairman Daly's Speech.
On accoptlng tho chairmanship of the j

Senator P J. Daly said: IH
Mr. Chairman, Ladles and Gentlemen: ilH
