Others of the crew and almost every passenger on the entire train except those in the sleeper, who éscaped with a severe shaking up, were injured, some of them seriously. | It was still dark when the wreck occurred and the utmost confusion fol- lowed. It was some time before those of the crew who had escaped injury were able, with the heip of the pas-! sengers who were unhurt, to aid the | injured. | A wrecking crew, carrying phy- siclans, did not leave Fort Scott for the scene until several hours after the wreck occurred and it was 11 o'clock before the dead and injured were brought to Fort Scott. i | John Bluebacker, the | news agent, | | was curled up on a seat in the rear of | the smoker, near the stove, when the He was taken out alive, | but died during the afternoon.

SmoKing Jackels Smoking Jackets made of double- faced janus cloth, in Oxford, black, navy," brown, silver gray, garnet and purple, in check or figured stripes, at $4, $5, 36, $7, $7.50, $8, $8.50 and $10; made of extra heavy mercerized mate- lasse, in black, brown and navy, at $5; made of silk matelasse, lined with fine silk or satin, at $10; made of velveteen, lined with plain or quilted satin, in green, tan, black, brown, navy and gar- net, at $8. : The above pictures were sketched from life from models who had put on two smoking jackets and a dressing- gown taken from our stock for the pur- pose. While the sketches are accurate and are well drawn they fail to give a correct idea of the garments. You must see the harmony of colors in the jackets themselves to properly appre- ciate their beauty. In selecting a smoking jacket as a gift the chest measure is all that is re- quired in determining the size. Dressing Gowns The dressing-gowns are made of doue ble-faced janus cloth. The plaid inside of} the_ cloth folds over and forms the trimming ; the gowns are fastened with two loops and have a heavy girdle with tassels around the waist ; the gar- ments are cut extremely long and come almost to the ankles.” The price for the dressing-gowns are $10, $12.50 and $13.50. The standing figure in back shows what an elegant dressing-gown we make for $10. The bath robes are made of eider- down flannel, in stripes, checks and fig- ures, in colors that harmomze with the ground color of the garment. Almost any color can be secured, so enumera- tion is not necessary. We have an ex- cellent line of these goods, which we are able to sell at very reasonable prices, becayse we made a fortunate purchase of the material. A bath robe of equal quality to ours usually sells for $10 to $12, but our price is $6. Mail Orders ; ~ We Issue Filled. . * 0 D Merchandise Address 3 Orders tor s 740 Market Street e
