H. w. Potter in a Wreck.

Last Friday morning at daybreak
the train OH which H. ". and E. E,
Potter were travelling broke in two
on the hill just east of Owatonna.
The hind section consisted of seven
cars, H. w. Potter being among them
The engineer Stacked his section and
the other came rushing into 1t full
speed. -Four cars wore totally de-
molished. When the shock came II.
w. Potter was lying asleep few feet
from the horses, which were In the
front end of the car. The force of tine
collision threw the horses against
4x14 plank PARTITION. The plank gave
way and horses and all were thrown
on to the sleeping man. He was spull-
ed out from under the horses feet in
an unconscious condition by his bro
ther Everett. They carried him to
Waseca, and his daughter Mabelle,
who was sent for at once, arrived the
next afternoon to care for him. His
hip was twisted so badly that 1t will
be some time before he can use 1t at
all. A severe blow on the chest just
over the heart makes breathing diff
cult. His most serious injury was to
his back, just over the kidneys. The
outcome of that is not yet known, al
though he hopes to be able to travel
in q week orso.-ElmaN OF News Register.

Bishop Morrison Already Touch.

From the Davenport Democrat of
March 8: The special lenten sermon
delivered at Trinity church by
Bishop Morrison last evening was the
central feature of most interesting

all who heard him as a preacher

ness and glow of inward zeal that
makes it fairly fascinating to watch.
1t is as eloquent as his words. OF

Sudden Call from the Grim Mes.
Senper,

Friday evening Mrs. John Mahan
was observed sitting on the side walk
short distance from her house and
nearly in front and opposite the
Van Slyke house, when MIR. Danl.
Barnes and some other person went to
her assistance, one at each side sup
porting her under the arms and she
walked home. 1t being about 8
o'clock Mr.. Barnes lighted the lamp,
looking her in the face, said why she
is dying. They placed her on the bed
and almost instantly she expired. She
was in the neighborhood OF eighty
years OF age. Her maiden name was
Brophy sister we think of the
Brophys in the vicinity of Lourdes.
Mr.. Mahan died some years ago. A
son, James Henry Mahan, was a rail-
road conductor on one of the railroads
of the pacific coast.

-Four thousand dollars a year for
each mile Of railroad is over ten per
cent on cost of the roads, yet that is
what the people pay the railroads for
carrying the mails. Five thousand a
year rental for postal car costing 81
500 to $4,000 to build, and which last
25 to 35 years, seems a little extrava-
CANT, but think what a campaign fund
Mark Hanna and Matt Quay are able
to raise from railroad companies, And
then think Of Chauncey Depew's Re-

would soar so high if there was moth
