NEW DEPOT.

Some time ago we called the attention
of the G. NJ. & st. Paul Co. to the fact
that Il new depot was very much need
ed at their station in Centralia. Later
Mr. G j. jackson. mayor of that city,
circulated petition among the repre-
sentative business men in both cities,
patrons of that road, requesting the
company to put in a new depot which
was literally signed. This petition was
sent into the company and its receipt
acknowledged, but,as yet we have heard
nothing more from it. It's unnecessary
to argue the necessity for new depot.
There is no comfort or convenience for
patrons of the road, neither have the
employees sufficient room to transact
the business of theil office. Now is the
time to make the needed improvement.
This company usually look after these
matters without outside assistance, and
we hope tine will be short before we
have new depot.

REMARKABLE Runaway.

A serious runaway took place on
Strongs avenue at half-past 10 o'clock
Saturday last. John Finch was driving
his bay mare, returning from the South
Side, and when in front of the Arlington
House, she started on run,-evldently
frightened by the mud which spattered
on to her from the wheel. In front Of \.
Gross residence was a double team and
heavy wagon in the middleo of the street.
Mr.. Finch saw the wagon and measur-
ing the distance between It and for
midable electric light post just opposite,
endeayored to pass through, but the
space was too confined and the front
axle struck the wagon first then the
hind axle. This demolished the back
wheel Of the buggy and Nj. Finch was
hurled violently to the ground. He
still hung to the lines and after dragging
quite a distance came in contact with
the front wheels Of j. w. Clifford s
buggy, who was driving up the avenue
in the opposite direction. Mr.. Finch
was assisted to Mr. Clifford's buggy and
driven to DR.. Rood's where his numer-
Gus cuts and bruises were dressed. He
received a severe cut over the eye, one
under the eve and one on his chin.
His left wrist and arm and left leg were
also severely bruised. He was taken
home and was unable to be out until
Tuesday, when he came down town.
When the horse was freed she ran
franticly north on Strongs avenue to
Main street where a team belonging to
Antoine Lepinski of Sharon, was direct
ly in front of her. The wagon was
loaded with rye and with bound the
animal landed on the top Of the load OF
rvs. For a few moments all was con-
fusion. The farmers wife screamed al
the top of her voice at seeing the un-
usual sight, and A. @. Green's horse
hitched near by, was so frightened that
he threw himself and broke one of the
thi!ls of the wagon. Meanwhile the
mare lay quietly on the load of rye
| never offering to make move until the
wagon was tipped sideways and she was
allowed to roll off, and even then she
did not appear in the least excited
Mr.. Finch had a very narrow escape
from being killed. Aside from this, the
runaway was almost amusing. That 8
horse would jump fairly on top of q
wagon loaded with bags and remain
there quietly for several minutes and
escape with but little if any injury is g
very singular coincidence. But that is
just what she did.-[St. Point Journal

GREEN BAY r. r. ITEMS.

The first of this week was the begin
ming of a new era for the Green Bay
railroad. They have added two regular
passenger trains to the present service.
They have also added two new engines
and six passenger coaches. The coach
es contain the latest improvements in
car service. The inside is finished in
natural oak with reclining red plush
seats. The cars are first-class in every
respect and nothing has been spared by
the officials of the road to give their
patrons all the comfort the latest i'm
provements will warrant
With these extra trains they are now
enabled to make close connections with
all roads in the state. The change in
running time took place Monday morn
ing.
No. passenger train leaves this city
for Green Bay at 1925 A. NJ. and returns
in the evening at 7:50 with 20 minutes
for supper at Ayshford's S when it tcontin-
ues to Merrillan where it makes close
connections with the Omaha for st.
Paul and the far west.
No. 6 passenger leaves Merrillan in
the morning, goes to Winona and re-
turns to this city at 1920 P. NJ.
No. 2 passenger and mail leaves for
the east at 3:17 instead of $50 as here
tofore.
No. passenger and mail leaves fol
the west at 1892 as heretofore. The
freights continue as heretofore and have
orders to carry passengers.

How often do we see this on the faces
Of children and, alas, of people who other
wise are healthy? What causes it? Bad
Blood. The thought is terrible; the
trouble is worse. No ordinary help can
remove it. 1t requires something un-
usual. Do not take cheap sarsaparillas
or blood purifiers. You must have some
thing that has proven it's power in both
Europe and America. General Wheat
croft Nelson, of London, says: "My
experience in the English army, as well
as in America, convinces me that nothing
SO thoroughly purifies the blood, or adds
to the health, vigor and life, as Dr..
Acker's English Blood Elixir"
This grand Elixir is sold by druggists
in all parts of America: 1t is good,
pure, honest medicine. Try it to-day.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

tihcer of the universe has seen proper
to call from his earthly labors, oul late
beloved brother Nelson E. Emmons

nize that he was our brother in
deed and in truth. His was a spirit
noble, generous and kind. Fearless in
the defence of what he believed to be
his rights, prompt to assist in case of
need. To all with whom he held busi-
ness relations he was just, to his family
a dear and beloved husband and father,
to his neighbor in acting upon the
square. We mourn his loss, and we
commend his good example to the ad-
miration of all. Therefore be it
RESOLVED; That the death of our late
brother, n. E. Emmons, our lodge and
the fraternity have lost q worthy broth
er and member, his family a devoted
husband and father, our community a
valued citizen. To the family and rela-
tives of our late brother we tender our
sincere coincidence, and it is also Re
solved that tie foregoing preambles
and resolutions be entered at length
upon the records of this Lodge, and a
certified copy thereof be presented to
the family of our late brother, and also
that the same be published i'll the Wood
