| Detective Brownell, Of the Missouri
Pacific secret service, returned on
Tuesday from Louisiana, where he
went to investigate the train wreck
ing matter which occurred on the llth
inst, on the n. O. p. division of the
Texas Pacific railway, four miles east
of Sodus, Sabine parish, La. The case
has one or two peculiar features which
make it unusually interesting. In
speaking of it yesterday Mr.. Brownell
smd "Tho wrecked train was freight
running east, ahead Of a passenger
train which was an hour behind time;
it was running on tho passcngertrain's
time; was only ten minutes ahead and
was making haste for the nearest side
track A rail had been taken up inst
west of the bridge. the freight en-
gine struck the guard Of the bridge
and ran on, while twelve box cars went
down the bank and were total wreck
The rail was undoubtedly taken up to
wreck the passenger train, nn which
there were l65 passengers.for New Or
leans. Had it been on time, the loss
of life would have been fearful,
When it come up some of the passen
gers got off and found an axe and a
bar alongside the track. 1t had showed
up to 0 o'clock and had stopped. 1t
was now II o'clock. The conductor
of the passenger train saw tracks in
the snow, near the bar and axe, which !
led off into the woods. lie ran his
train back to Sodus and got Deputy
Sheriff J. II. Stoddard, W. b. Grant
and }. II. Darby, and they went back |
and followed the tracks until $3.50 the |
next morning, when they came to II
honsa which was only about milo
and half from the track in il direct |
line, The men who made the tracks
had walked fully five miles to reach it,
They had done this because they were
afraid that dogs would track them,
they probably counted on the snow
covering mp their tracks, but it stopped
showing too soon. The house belonged
to a man by the name of GUNNER
lander and the sheriff arrested his son,
Jim, and man named Morgan Nc
LaughIn, alias Sam Peete. They were
found in bed together and young
CummcrIander had part of his
clothes and a revolver on him. Phore
was a big fire in the Fireplace and
their boots, still wet, were standing in
front of it. The tracks in the snow
led up on the porch of the house and
Oummerlander and Mclaughlin could
not have been very far ahead of the
sheriff and his men They were taken
back to the railroad and the sheriff
and his men had all they could do to
keep the passengers from lynching the
prisoners, If they had been certain
that the two young men were the
guilty parties there would have been
a lynching sure. They were taken to
Many and are now in Jail awaiting
hearing. Cummerlander has the repu-
tation of hard case, but Mclaughlin
has only been in the neighborhood
about SIX weeks.

Prairie Farmer.
Prof. Erastus q. Smith, of Beloit
College, in an admirable paper on
sanitary problems, stated; "The wa
ter supply is of supreme Importance,
and too much attention to the purity
of the source from which it is obtained
caRscarceIy be given. Diptheria, dys-
entery, typhoid fever and other similar
diseases are often traced to contami-
mated water. Lead pipes should never
be used in wells. Though nearly ir-
soluble in its pure state, the salts of
lead formed by the action Of air on
the pipe, are soluble and very poison
Gus. Sheet lead ought never to be
used for lining small cistcms. Ans
other great danger is from c0ntamiaa-
tion by organic matter; aud in this
respect eternal vigilance is the price
of safety. Driven wells are vastly
safer than those near the surface, and
"barn weIIs' are very poor servants at
best, Cattle ought never to drink
from stagnant pools, which almost al
ways swarm with germs of disease.
The study of splcDic fever IN cattle
has clearly demonstrated that this
fatal disease is caused directly by mi
croscOpic Organisms The waste from
the house should never be thrown on
the ground near the well, but carried
at least or s rods away, winter as
well as summer. Or better dig a cess
pool at suitable distance (at least s
rods) and connected with the house by
properly constructed drain. Carpen-
ter's bills are cheaper than doctors
bills. Never allow privy vault within
a radius Of 100 feet of the well a
nearer approach is at the peril Of safety,
If the present distance is less than four
rods, remove the Priyy at once to a
safe distance. Waters possessing IN
any degree bad odor, or taste, should
be examined by the family physician
or sanitary officer A simple test for
snch rs do not smell or taste badly, is
tbs following, recommended by the
Wisconsin Board Of Health: Filter
through filter-paPer or piece Of clean
flannel, into a clear glass jar holding
from 10 to one pint. Add pure cane
(gIanulated) sugar in the proportion
Of onp-half teaspoopfnl to one pint !;
cork, or cover, to prevent the entrance
of any extraneens matter, and set
aside in warm place, from 70 de-
grees Fahr., upward, for As hours.
Water sufficiently pure for drinking
purposes, viii remain perfectly clear
hence, if any milkiness or opacity ap-
pears, have an examination BY the
family physician.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestiOn are present. fatulency, uneasiness of
the stomach, etc. a moisture, like perspira-
ton, producing very disagreeable itching,
after getting warm. is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application of DR.. BOsankO's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the TumOrs, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting permanent
cure. Price so cents. Address, The DR.. Bo-
sanko Medicine Co., Piqua, O. Sold by WIN.
