disaster a train wrecked — 1'a.bekxgers mjrx ed alive st paul minn oct 20 it was nearly 5 o'clock last evening when the chicago limited arrived direct from the wreck at rio wis bringing most of the passengers who were saved the first person to apjtear from the train was the venerable bishop whipple accompanied by his wife they were verv much worn out but beyond that suffered but little from the accident the bishop described the scene as one of the most terrible he had ever witnessed he said he had witnessed | the burning of the cars and had done all in his power to save the sufferers but without avail there was no time to save anything and the shivering poorly dad ones who had escaped were compelled to stand in the cold and watch their fellow passengers burn to death the air was filled with the groans and cries for help of the burn ing mingled with stifled curses and vain pleadings for succor these with the snap and crack of the flames the horrible odor of burning flesh and the hissing of steam as it escaped from the disabled locomotive all combined to make the horrors those of an inferno the heroism of bishop whipple and mr mediums of morris was some thing wonderful working as they did to save not only the children but others mediums was only in his stocking feet but his bravery was an example when he got out of the sleeper he found mrs scherer her mother-in-law and her two children at one of the windows of the burning coach the two women were pinioned down by the seats but mrs scherer passed one child to mcginn is and bishop whipple got the other they then attempted to literate the women but it was impossible the seats held j them firmly in and the flames drove the rescuers away mrs scherer's clothes caught lire and the flames ran up to her hair there were shrieks ami groans for perhaps seven minutes and then all ceased they were liter ally roasted to death before our eyes said capt ames at least 20 lives are \ now suppose to have been lost an old-time duel from the morgantou slur a ncwihtii letter to the philadel phia times says lames parton in his j biography of andrew jackson makes mention of a duel fought by general jackson with waightstill averv at j jouesboro tenn in the last century his account however is very meagre and does not accord with the version of tiie affair as told by descendants and relatives of col averv many of whom still live in liurke county in a foot-note to page 162 chapter 14 volume 1 parton says : there was a comic incident connected with this duel that general jackson would not tell a gentleman once mentioned the duel to him " who told you about it 1 asked the president laugh ingly general adair did he tell you what happened on the grounds ?" no well then i shan't replied the general still laughing the comic incident to which gen jackson alluded and which he refused t > relate is what is understood to have caused the duel and is said never to have been made public what it was and how it occurred has been related to me several times — as follow : in august l788 col waightstill avery and andrew jackson were attending court in jonesboro at that time tennessee was still a part of north carolina and jonesboro was the seat of one of the three district courts held for the then western district of north carolina jackson hail init recently been called to the bar at the time of the duel and was about twenty-one years of age col avery was much older the two gentlemen were opposing counsel in a case under trial in which jackson it is said felt that he had but little chances for success in a spirit of mischief prob ablv he determined to attempt a little diversion rather unusual iu a court of law col avery sometimes rode the cir cuit of his courts — which embraced most of western north carolina and a portion of tennessee on horseback carrying in a pair of capacious saddle bags such articles as were necessary to his more immediate wants one thing always carried therein was a copy of bacon's abridgement one of the standard law books of those days jackson aware that col avery was in the habit of carrying this book and on the day for trial before their case was called he went to cyl avery's saddle bags took out the copy of bacon's abridgement and substituted for it a piece of bacon of about the same size wrapped it up as the book had been to prevent suspicion in the course of the trial col avery having occasion to quote an authority sent for his book j the package was brought to him and when unwrapped hi a hitch of bacon j stood revealed to court and jury ! i averv was a man of great dignity of character and bearing who could ill brook a liberty of any kind least of all an attempt to make him appear ridicu lous turning to jackson he charged ! him with what had been done and denounced him for his act in most unmeasured terms jackson was stung to the quick but apparently controlled himself sufficiently not to attract attention to what he did in response to the rebuke tearing a fl y leaf from i a law book lie wrote a challenge j which unobserved he passed across the i table to col averv and which was promptly accepted the following is an exact copy of the original challenge j which is still in the possession of a member of the a very family and from • the wording of its first sentence another ! communication would seem to have preceeded it : august 12th 1788 sir when a mans feeling & char acter are injured he ought to seek a speedy redress ; you reed a few lines from me yesterday & undoubtedly you understand me my character you injured and farther you have insulted nie in the presence of a court and a larg audience i therefore call upon you as a gentleman to give me satisfaction for the same and 1 further call upon you to give me an answer immediately without equibocation and 1 hope you can do without dinner until the bus iness done for it is consistent with the character of a gentleman when he in jures aman to make a speedy reparation therefore 1 hope you will not fail in meeting me this day from yr obt st coif avery andw jackson p s this evening after court ad journed — " the style of the challenge its ortho graphy and its punctuation — or the want of it — are equally remarkable but the demand is unmistakable and the little p s v at one side denotes great urgency it was evdently writ ten under great excitement though with a strong effort at self control and and the whole document to use the slang of to day means busines the challenge is addressed on the back coll whitestill arery ft was found among col avery's papers after his death carefully tiled away and docketed in very business like style jackson d p duel 17s8 1 the duel was fought about dusk of the day the challenge was given in a ravine near the court house in jones boro shots were exchanged but for unately neither party was hurt jack son declared himself satisfied and the two gentlemen afterwards became warm friends indeed long before the duel when jackson first decided to go to the bar he was desirous to read law under yvaightstill averv who was very distinguished in his profession and was the h'rst attorney-general of the state of north carolina at the time of jackson's appointment as solicitor of the western district of north caro lina — afterwards the state of ten nessee—he on his way to settle in nashville had visited col averv at morgauton tin 1 latter then an extreme frontier town of western north caro lina the date of the challenge au gust 12 17ks is six months previous to that of the earliest letter of jackson february 13 1 7b which mr l'arton says lie was able to find waightstill averv was the first at torney-general of north carolina after it had thrown off allegiance to the british government col averv was a man of great capacity and the loftiest integrity and his mantle has fallen upon descendants worthy of such a sire how to fight a cold as soon as the oppression of the chest obstruction of the nasal ducts and unusual lassitude indicate that a cold has been taken influence should at once be counteracted by the purest and oldest air available and the patient should not stop to weigh the cost of a day's furlough against the dangers of a chronic catarrh in case imperative duties should interfere the enemy must be met after dark by devoting the first half of the night to an out-door cam paign and the second half to an en campment before a wide-open window if the tight is to be short and decisive the resources of the adversary must be short and decisive the resources of the adversary must be diminished by a strict fast temporary abstinence from food is the most effective and at the same time the safest method for elimi nating the morbid elements of the sys tem twjirjs the end of the year a damp sultry day — catarrh weather is sometimes followed by a sudden frost and at such times 1 have often found that a six hour inhalation of 1 pure cold night air passages that on j the following morning hardly a slight i huskiness of the voice suggests the narrowness of the escape from a two weeks respiratory misery hut aided by exercise outdoor air and tempera ture will accomplish the same effect i in two days a resolute pedestrian can ' walk away from a summer catarrh of : that malignant type that is apt to defy i the half open windows but the specific i of the movement cure is arm exercise — duml>-bell swinging grapple-swing practice and wood chopping on a cold morning for after all there are ten winter catarrhs to one in summer a wood-shed matinee seems to reach the seat of the disease by the air line as i the chest begins to heave under the : stimulus of the exercise respiration be comes freer as it becomes deeper and fuller expectoration ceases to be pain jful and the mucous is at last discharg • id en masse as if the system had only waited for the moment of eneourage . mentto rid itself of the incubus a catarrh ean thus lie broken in a single day for the next half week the diet should bo frugal and cooling fruit light bread and a little old sweet milk is the best cataith diet a fast day though i.s still better fasting effects in a perfectlj safe way what the old school practitioners tried to accomplish by bleeding it reduces the semi-febrile condition which accompanies every severe cold there is no doubt that by exercise alone a catarrh can be gradu ally worked off but indoors is apt to be steep but up hill work while cold air — even before the season of actual frosts — acts upon pulmonary disorders as it does upon malarial fevers it re duces them to a less malignant type a combination of three specifiers — exer cise abstinence and fresh air — will cure the most obstinate cold social training if you really wish to become a suc cessful entertainer and it is a great accomplishment — it is only neccessary to throw self behind you aud to think only of your guests and how you can make the evening pass pleasantly for them by so doing it will prove very pleasant to yourself as this is one of the rules of life if one's early education has been neglected and etiquette of good society has yet to be learned it can be surely acquired by practice a fam ily of sisters or a husband and wife if so disposed can train themselvs into the habit of receiving and entertaining guests and can learn how to enter a room with ease and to greet their host and hostess or receive guests themselves servile imitations we would not advise but to practice the arts of society is as de siruble as to practice music the young mother can teach herself while she trains her child — not to copy the man ners of others exactly as the monkey copies — but to make them her own and to wear them with a special grace be longing to herself alone a woman possesses a quick perception of the right tone of voice the sweetest expression of the mouth and the best pose of the body and she can make them her own if she will use her good sense in learn ing them it ha-s been well said that the quickness of woman's intuition is an inspiration and that she is heiress of all the riches of the rare styles of the past it she only desires to possess them but to become the inheritor she must train herself to modulate her voice rightly and to padlock her tongue care fully and to be pleasant when not all pleased it will take time to thus edu cate one's self but it will pay a good dividend inthe future for nature in her productions slow i>jiir by just degrees to reach perfection's height and the lady whose manners you so justly admire may have

You may have heard that I have a new project called Atoms for Peace.
The name comes from some shows of The Eraser that happened a couple of years ago with Mauro, Joey, Nigel and Flea.
We got a big buzz from them and discovered loads of energy from transforming the music from electronic to live, and so afterwards, we carried on for a few days in the studio and decided to make it a loose, on-going thing.
Immersed in the area between the two…electronic and live.
The first tune we'd like you to hear is Default
A 12" vinyl version will follow next month and an album will eventually follow that next year.

As planters traverse farm fields these days, grain storage seems a distant thought. But before you can say "bottleneck," harvest will be here.
Will you be ready?
Planning now for ample on-farm storage can nix time-consuming and costly bottlenecks at harvest. Because it ensures ample storage space, advance preparation can help assure that you won't need to pile grain on the ground. And if you need to build bins or other storage structures, planning and building now can help you avoid labor shortages close to harvest.
"You'd better take care of it before harvest season, or you may not get it built," says Burl Shuler, senior vice president of GSI Storage and Equipment, Assumption, IL.
Should you store?
Before you build a new storage system or revamp an old one, consider whether you need it. On-farm storage isn't for everyone.
Bear in mind that it can help you access price spikes following harvest. For example, Minnesota farmers have 25 to 30 reasons to store their corn after harvest, says Stan Stevens, University of Minnesota extension economist.
"From fall to spring when the Mississippi River freezes up, prices tend to appreciate 25 to 30 cents a bushel," Stevens says. Though the amount may vary, similar spreads exist in other parts of the Midwest.
On-farm storage pays if it prevents combine shutdowns triggered by long waits in elevator lines. But once you solve that problem, you're often better off to sell grain and buy a futures contract in order to realize price spikes, Stevens says.
The $0.25 to $0.30/bu. storage gain isn't pure profit, he reminds. Besides construction costs, you'll also forego the interest on the money you would glean from grain sales at harvest.
"Once you tie up your capital in a facility, you won't be able to use it someplace else," Stevens says. Storage investments can divert money away from more potentially lucrative opportunities, such as buying or renting more land.
"A 25 to 30 cents a bushel gain from fall to spring is not to be ignored," Stevens says. "But you won't necessarily be 25 to 30 cents a bushel better off."
The payoff from on-farm storage can depend upon your distance from an elevator, says Ken Hellevang, North Dakota State University extension agricultural engineer.
"With the distances we have between farms up here, it just isn't practical to be running to the closest elevator that's 20 miles away," he says. "Even though I hear economists say that it's better to haul in the grain and buy futures or options, I still find that farmers need to efficiently harvest and have a place where they can condition and warehouse grain for a short period of time before they take it to the elevator. Farmers need to have enough capacity to handle what they are producing. Most farmers up here have the capacity to store a year's harvest."
Uncle Sam's plan
Let's say you've determined that storage pays and you're short on bin space. Depending upon bin size, construction costs of $1 to $1.50/bu. can make you cry "uncle" … literally.
Fortunately for you, the uncle in question is Uncle Sam. A federal loan program to finance bin building, launched in 2000, has been improved this year.
Last year, the program had the opposite effect that the government wanted, says Charles Sukup, president of Sukup Manufacturing Company, Sheffield, IA.
"People who were looking ahead to buy then held off because there were rumors that they wouldn't be eligible for the program," Sukup says. "It brought things to a standstill. People quit buying because of the program."
But Sukup is optimistic about changes that have been made in this year's program. The loan program requires just a 15% down payment, compared to last year's 25% requirement. This year's program also includes financing for silos and bunker silos. Interest rates continue to remain attractive at approximately 5% annually over a seven-year term.
The $100,000 loan limit also has also been relaxed for multi-partner farms. For example, a farm with three partners could qualify for a $300,000 loan — $100,000 for each partner. This is contingent upon each member signing the note and security agreement for the loan.
During fiscal year 2000, the Farm Service Agency (FSA) made 1,995 loans totaling $54,551,000. "That was less than we anticipated," says Chris Kyer, an FSA program specialist. "But we didn't begin the program until May 18 and missed some of the construction season. We expect to do better this year."
Even with the loan program, storage sales have been sluggish, says Craig Poolman, division president for the Chief Agri/Industrial Division, Kearny, NE.
"There seem to be a lot of requests, but we also see a lot of hesitation for people to pull the trigger and complete the projects," he adds. "A lot of that has to do with the economy. In some areas, farmers are also talking about increasing soybean acreage and decreasing corn acreage, which means less storage will be required. If this is true, there will be a slowdown in storage projects."
Which bin size fits your farm?
Two years ago, storage industry experts predicted that identity-preserved grains would spring a comeback for small bins. But in many cases, that has not occurred. Thus far, farmers have tended to store identity-preserved grains in large bins, says Randy Van Langen, vice president of marketing for MFS/York/Stormor, Grand Island, NE.
"We thought we'd be selling more bins that weren't quite so large," he says. "But people instead looked at the cheaper cost per bushel of large bins. Many people who have raised these crops have done so in a volume that justifies the larger storage capacity."
However, smaller bins may give you the flexibility that's required to store identity-preserved crops. (See "Eyeing IP storage," page 14.) "When you see a need to separate different types of crops, it may be helpful to have a number of smaller bins because you could end up storing a lot of air with bigger bins," says Marvin Paulsen, University of Illinois agricultural engineer.
You may wish to separate genetically modified (GM) corn from non-GM corn, for example. "It's foolish to assume that you won't be affected by the GM issue in the next few years," says Warren Odekirk, grain systems technical manager for Growmark, Bloomington, IL. "You may get a premium for just plain old number two non-GM corn. Identity preservation and identity tracking are issues that we've never faced before."
Bill Wilcke, University of Minnesota extension agricultural engineer, explains that it also may be easier to monitor grain quality when the crop is stored in smaller bins. You can detect storage problems, such as mold, more quickly in small bins than large ones, he says.
However, technology can help you keep tabs on grain in larger bins. "As the bins get larger and there is more interest in value-enhanced grains, we have seen a resurgence in temperature cables," Odekirk says. These tools help monitor grain quality in large bins by detecting hot spots.
Before you buy…
Thinking about starting a storage system from scratch? The number of farmers who do so is surprising, says Bill Wilcke, University of Minnesota extension agricultural engineer.
"Part of that is due to the consolidation of farms," Wilcke says. "But some farmers also tell me that their facilities never really matched their farms. People also have really increased their harvest capacity, but have not increased their ability to dry and handle grain going into storage."
Changing crop patterns also prompt new storage systems. For example, North Dakota farmers now plant more corn and less small grain.
"That has really changed the handling requirements that farmers have," says Ken Hellevang, North Dakota State University extension agricultural engineer. "All of a sudden, farmers have gone from a small grain crop yielding 50 to 70 bu./acre up to corn that might yield between 150 to 200 bu./acre."
Here are some buying tips we rounded up from the experts on how to create a storage system that will meet the needs of your operation for years to come.
Don't skimp on the site "The construction of a concrete foundation might require an extra $500 or $1,000 of steel or concrete," says John Gnadke, president of AGS Incorporated, an Ankeny, IA, storage consulting firm. "But that's inexpensive when you amortize it out over 30 years. The site should be built with a long-range plan to meet the challenges of tomorrow."
Don't assume that bigger bins cost less "That's true up to about 60,000 bu.," says Warren Odekirk, grain systems technical manager for Growmark, Bloomington, IL. For example, a 50,000-bu. bin may be cheaper on a per-bushel basis than two 25,000-bu. bins. "But when you make the jump to commercial storage of 60,000 bu. or more, the cost per bushel goes up," Odekirk says.
Foundation expenses loom large with commercial capacity bins. "A 100,000-bu.-capacity bin sits on a foundation that often costs $30,000 or more," Odekirk says.
Storage costs aren't the only thing to consider when purchasing a bin. Crop type, local grain marketing alternatives and storage flexibility also are factors.
Install fully perforated bin floors "By moving the grain off concrete, moisture won't seep into the corn," Gnadke says. "If moisture ends up in the grain, you'll not only spoil grain, but also encourage the resident bug population. When the grain is above the ground, it's so much easier to control its moisture."
Buy a dryer with low temperature swings To ensure optimum quality, dryers should have just a 5- to 10-degree temperature variance, Gnadke says.
"High-quality grain cannot tolerate the 30- to 50-degree swings during drying," he adds. Excessive heat that spurs stress cracks in corn can ultimately dissolve premiums for high-value grains.
Install a storage system with easy clean-out Identity preservation makes this quality paramount. "Tests can now sense one genetically modified kernel out of 800, so it's important to separate grain," Odekirk says.
Buy conveyors, bucket elevators and pits that easily clean out, says Marvin Paulsen, University of Illinois agricultural engineer. Pneumatic grain handling units particularly fulfill this goal, because they are self-cleaning.
"Pneumatics are convenient and good for moving low volumes of grain," Paulsen says. "But if you have to move a lot of grain, remember that they also have the highest energy costs per ton of grain moved."
Consider energy costs High energy prices will likely impact drying practices this fall, particularly if the season is wet and cold. If LP prices stay high, some farmers may shift toward natural air drying, says Bill Campbell, South Dakota State University extension agricultural engineer.
"Electricity prices haven't risen as high as other forms of energy," he adds. "If we see these fossil fuel prices stay up where they are, we may see lots of interest in solar or renewable energy."
Hellevang advises farmers to install energy reclaimer units on dryers. "This enables you to catch and reuse the heat, rather than letting it escape into the environment," he says.
Devise a versatile drying strategy If energy prices remain high, you may want to incorporate natural air or other low-temperature drying techniques this fall. Still, if you revamp or start a storage system, you will need to have a high-temperature dryer, particularly if you farm in northern areas.
"In this area, lots of corn is harvested in late October or early November," Hellevang says. "Those cold temperatures make it difficult to use natural air or low-temperature drying. To assure they can dry in the fall, farmers should have a high-temperature dryer."
With this tool, you can mix and match drying needs. If you need to quickly dry corn, you can use high-speed drying. You can also use dryeration or in-storage cooling to preserve quality of high-value grain.
"A systems approach is better than drying all grain in the dryer, since it gives you flexibility," Hellevang adds.
Bankrupt bonanza
Bankruptcies aren't pleasant experiences. But troubles for some can spell opportunities for others.
With his family, Bob Wietharn, a Team FIN member from Clay Center, KS, bought a local bankrupt elevator in 1992. The elevator was loaded — a 500,000-bu. storage capacity, two 4,000-bu. grain legs, a drying facility, eight bins and a scale.
Even though they bought the bankrupt elevator for 10 cents on the dollar, Wietharn says the deal was questionable for several years. "Everyone around here thought we were nuts," he says.
In recent years, though, the purchase has paid for itself several times. Wietharn says, "The scale [now] is worth as much as the price we paid for [the whole elevator]."

After being called off Friday, the on-again, off-again cyber attack against CNN's website again picked up steam early this week, according to network security analysts.
At its peak, the attack has sucked up 100MB/S in bandwidth, enough to slow the news website for some visitors. "That's a decent-sized attack," said Jose Nazario, a senior security engineer with Arbor Networks. "Globally speaking, it's probably garden-variety."
Organisers had originally called for the attack to be launched on 19 April. But they soon called off their efforts with one organiser, CN-Magistrate, saying that "too many people are aware of it, and the situation is chaotic."
CN-Magistrate soon disbanded his website devoted to these attacks and dropped out of public view.
Hackers had launched some low-intensity attacks against CNN ahead of the 19 April deadline, but on Sunday, another group calling itself HackCNN picked up the attack. CNN visitors experienced a noticeable slowdown during the early hours of Sunday and Monday, researchers said.
This group also managed to deface a Sports Network website (sports.si.cnn.com), replacing sports scores with slogans such as "Tibet was, is, and always will be a part of China!"
Although a CNN spokeswoman said that the website was not taken down by the attacks, web monitoring company Netcraft said that some of its sensors were unable to get a response from CNN servers in Phoenix, San Jose, California, London and Pennsylvania for about three hours on Sunday. On Monday, response times to CNN were as slow as two-tenths of a second, Netcraft said.
CNN did slow down the rate at which network traffic from the Asia-Pacific region was able to reach its website, the spokeswoman said.
Nazario said that a botnet network of hacked computers has now been involved in the attacks, but the hackers have mostly relied on voluntary downloads to spur their efforts.
Angered by Western coverage of unrest in Tibet by CNN, organisers had hoped to knock the website offline using tactics similar to those seen in recent attacks on Internet servers run by the Church of Scientology and the Baltic nation of Estonia. Hackers made easy-to-use web attacking tools available for download on hackcnn.com and then encouraged as many computers as possible to join in on the attack.
"People would purposely infect themselves with malware released on behalf of Chinese hacktivists to automatically utilise their Internet bandwidth for the purpose of a coordinated attack against a particular site," said Dancho Danchev, a Bulgarian security researcher, via instant message.
"These guys are young. They're usually 20-25 years old, college students, they spend their life online," said Scott Henderson, a retired US intelligence analyst who has been following the CNN attacks on his blog. "It is really a way of expressing themselves."
Security experts said that the Estonian and CNN attacks more closely resembled a cyber riot than anything else, with no central figure in command and many different groups, loosely coordinating their activities and attacking computers in many ways.
The attacks can be hard to stop at first, and they tend to garner attention to the attacker's political cause, Nazario said. "We're going to see this again because it's effective to some degree."
