Man and Eternity. What is it Dr. Wallace asks us to believe and has written a paralogistic book in the attempt to prove? It is that at some distant period, and Dr. Wallace makes much of its distance as an argument in his favor, this uni verse was called into existence by the will of a Creator for a speciflc pur pose, the production of man. Assum ing the initial fact, we must agree with Dr. Wallace in assigning hundreds of millions of years to the age of the universe. Then there arrived man. He has been here for a few hundreds of thousands of years. He has still a few —a very few—millions of years to run. It is true that in one place Dr. Wallace speaks of him as ‘•permanent,” but elsewhere he repeatedly admits there must come—and that comparatively soon—a period to man's existence. But he has apparently never asked himself, “What then?” We know that matter and energy are indestructible. We have every reason to believe the uni verse will exist forever, and Dr. Wal lace suggests no alternative. Yet ho believes that the hundreds of millions of stars were called into existence eons ago and will continue to exist for a quite indefinite period to come in order that man might live upon the earth for a few millions of years—a fraction of a second in an eternity.— London Academy.

California and Mexico express, whicu lelt Chicago on Monday nig * at 11. Uu o’clock for the west, collided head- on shortly alter 1 o'clock this morn mg at Willard, Kans., 14 miles west of Topeka, with a cattle train. ^ The whole train was demolished. Twen ty persons were killed and every per son on the train was injuied. A relief train that left Topeka tor the scene returned to that city at 7:3U o clock with the dead and injured. The train, which left Kansas Git> at 10 o’clock last night, was CO min utes late at the time oi the accident, and was running at the rate of 30 miles an hour.

A woman died two i hours later while trying to tell a phy | siclan her name. Pinned Between Cars. Bonnie Martin, a girl 11 years old, was pinn4d down between two cars, ■ a heavy stove resting on one. foot. Her cries attracted the rescuers, and men, many of them bleeding from wounds about the face and arms worked he- rocially to get her out. it took two hours of steady work to relieve her. When she was taken out she ad dressed the doctor who was bending over her as "papa.” The physician did not have the heart to tell her that she was an or phan, her father and mother having been killed. Mr. Martin was instant- j ly killed and Mrs. Martin died ten min utes after being taken from the wreck. The child was suffering from a broken ankle, where the heavy stove fell on her, and severe scalp contusions. A dozen or more Topeka physicians arrived at the scene on the relief train from Topeka as soon as a brakeman could run to Willard and notify head- quarters. The physicians went to work relieving the injured and made no attempt for the time being to re move the crushed and disfigured bod ies from the debris. Removing the Bodies.

The wreck was one of the most se rious that has happened on the Rock Island system in years. Between Kansas City and Topeka, the Rock island uses the tracks of the Union Pacific and as there are no general offices of either road in this city, de tails of the disaster were obtained with difficulty. Several reporters, who boarded the relief train as it lelt Topeka early this morning, were put off the train shortly alter it started, and the first details ot the collision came from persons on the wrecked train after they had been returned to Topeka. Occurring, as it did, at a small sta tion with few facilities for aid, there was much delay In extracting the dead and injured. The train was composed of a combination baggage and mail car, a regular baggage car. a smoker, a tpurist sleeper and a standard sleeper. Partial List of the Dead. Many of the dead had not been iden tified at 11 o’clock today. The list as far as known at that hour follows:, C. A. Wright, Kansas City, Mo. Jane Griffin, Claremont, Mo. Gail Fuller, Blockton, Iowa. NY. S. Martin, DeKalb, 111. Mrs. Henry Kaiser and child, of Ger many. The unidentified dead are: Woman about 25 years old. Girl, child about 1 year old. Woman, 25 years old; baggage was checked to Tyrone, Okla. Woman, middle aged, ticket to Ty rone, Okla. F. L. Beatty, of Pennsylvania. E. F. Adarns, brakeman, of Ever est, Kans. xMrs. Rose Bulb, of Atchison, Kans. Mrs. Bertha Shubert, of St. Claire, Ills. Ola Harvey, of Lynne, I. Ter. Girl 1G years old. Child 8 years old. Boy 12 years old. Child 9 years old. with long yellow hair, were visible. Fires were built along the track ! at short intervals and by the light of these the rescuers, In their eagerness to remove the victims, chopped open ings in the wrecked coach until ex hausted, then handed their axes to others. The entire sides of the car had been chopped away when th< work was completed. Occasionally the rescuers would desist upon an alarm being raised by watchers who declared that the chopping away of the coach was lotting the smoker down upon the victims. So terrific was the force of the col lision that the smoker left the trucks tn its backward rush, leaving the trucks still upon the track. Not a wheel in the entire passenger train seemed to be off the track. Dead and Dying Cattle. The freight train fared differently. The four cars immediately behind the engines nvere crushed into kind ling wood. Dead and dying cattle littered the right of way, while many which had escaped from the cars un injured, ran about adding to the con fusion. On the passenger train In the sleeper was a young physician who walked with a crutch as the result ot some spinal trouble. He was thrown down and slightly injured, but was the first man to emerge from the sleeper and immediately began aiding the in jured. He had a portion of the chair car. and the berths in the sleeper cleared and to them the victims were carried. The physician was without instruments or medicines, and the only thing he could do was to bind up the wounds with bandages, which he did, by tearing up sleeper sheets and pil low cases and giving the patients whisky to deaden the pain. The young doctor found the fireman who was injured in the leg; an artery was broken, and he took it up with a penknife and tied it with a thread, probably preventing the fireman from are unidentified. The records of the victims of the i theater fire both of the police and cor 1 oner, are still incomplete, and do not tally. In both offices clerks are try ing to straighten them out, after whicu it will be possible to check them ami; investigate the errors. Many rushed to the police headquar ters on the night following the fire! and reported as dead or missing, friends or members of their families who were afterward found unharmed., Others are reported missing, when in reality they had been taken to the hos pitals. In most cases where this j mistake was made the police were not notified when the person sought was i tound. Thursday an official count of the dead in the various morgues was made by the police and it was announced o8G bodies had been found. To this total have been added from time to time the names of those who have died from injuries received in the tire until the police list reached 591 and o! those, four bodies still remain un claimed. Ho far as the police know, there are but two persons still missing whose bodies have not been recovered nor who are among the unidentified dead. CArnftinK a Nexv I-ip. Dr. C. S.
