A Universal FavOrite.
 Probably no article of household use was ever more universally used and ad- mired than the Electric Lustre Starch. It is great help to housekeepers. It makes shirts, collars and cuffs look like new. It is always in blue packages and can be bought of all grocers at ten cents per package. It is foolish to try and keep house without it.

A DISASTROUS WRECK.
A Stock .T@mTrain on the "Katy" Strikes an
Open Switch-Three Wrecks.
Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman
DENIsoN, Tex, Aug. IA very dis
astrous wreck occurred three miles
north of here on the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas at an early hour this morn
ing. A heavy stock train was leav-
ing for the north and was going rap
idly down the Red river hill when
suddenly rounding a curve the en-
gineer found switch turned for the
side track, ON which stood several
cars. Seeing the danger he whistled
for brakes and he and the fireman
both jumped. The engine was COM
p1etely dismantled and q dozen cars
converted into kindling wood. Quite
a large number of cattle were killed
and crippled and the damage is
heavy.
The accident was the fault of a
brakeman on the train which does
work constantly on the hill assisting
other trains. He had failed to close
the switch. The engineer, fireman
and head brakeman were all three
badly bruised by jumping. The
wrecker was sent out at once and but
little delay was caused. This is the
third disastrous. wreck within few
miles of Denison ON the "Katy" with
in week.

SEEKING A BALANCE.
Charges and Credit Between tho
City and Cn,ntu Ennr.inu Irn

Charges and Crcdits Between tho
City and County Cropping Up.
For ten days tho county commissioners
have been busy figuring out the condition Of
the road fund. They hoped to report yester-
day afternoon, but were compelled to ask for
more time.
This investigation was brought about two
weeks ago when Mr.. Berlin stated that tho
road fund was in a wretched condition., hav-
ing been overdrawn $4,000. AT that tin o
Mr.. Timme denied the statement made by
Mr.. Berlin and stated that the FUND was not
only intact, but that 1t contained something
like $25, 1000 unexpended. With opinions SO
widely differing the committee on roads went
to work to ascertain who was right.
Yesterday Mr.. Berlin said he was willing
to stand upon his first statement, while Mr..
Timme said there was some SS,O0O in sight,
with other subjects TO investigate.
Mr.. Berlin insists that the county owes
South Omaha $50, 900, North Thirtieth street
1000, Carr 81, 900 on grading South Thir-
teenth street, and the city of Omaha -, OGG.S0
Mr.. Timme admits that the books show an
Indebtedness of S9,G66. so in favor of the city
of Omaha, but claims that there is an Offset
of nearly that amount for boarding city
prisoners.
In case the county should charge up this
amount, the city promises to take n hand.
Comptroller Goodrich states that Il number
of times the city has advanced money
to ray for doing county paving and grad
ing. This money has never been repaid.
There is also another item. In the city po-
lice court, when prisoners are fined, a large
number OF them appeal to the district court.
Then they frequently pay the fines and costs
imposed by the lower court, but Immediately
the money is paid into the county treasury
and tho city never gets a cent. Comptroller
Goodrich is of the opinion that when this
matter is thoroughly investigated 1t will be
found that the county owe the city thou
sands of dollars, as the practice has been
going on since the adoption of the metropolis
