bound, on the Missouri Pacific, was
wrecked at Coon creek, mile and a
half west of Jefferson City. the other
morning. The train was running at
full speed, when big boulder rolled
down from the high bluff above the
track directly in front of the engine.
The engine went down a 2O-foot en-
bankment, rolling over and over. En-
gineer Charles Clawson and Fireman
William Zoll were killed. The cars all
left the rails except the last sleeper.

gers. The impact of the cars against
the rock wall of the bluff shattered
them, and the passengers were severe
ly shaken up.

WHAT to put in an advertisement;
says the Philadelphia Record is a
query often asked by business men.
No one can better answer this i'm
portant question than the merchant
who has had some experience in ad-
vertising. 1t would be, Of course,
impossible to tell all about a large OF
even a small store in one or two an
nouncements the best results are to
be obtained by cOnfning the details
of the daily advertisement to state
ment Of the qualities and prices OF
those articles which are especially
seasonable. By this method the
merchant not only keeps his name
and establishment before the public,
but is enabled to concentrate the at
tention Of intending purchasers upon
the special line of goods offered for
their inspection.

One Woman Killed While Trying to
Save Her BOY.
Ainsworth, Neb., July Ga destruc-
tive cyclone passed Ainsworth, two
miles to the north, yesterday after
noon, killing one woman and tearing
houses, barns, fences and bridges into
kindling wood. The cyclone seemed to
form about 10 miles northwest of Aims
worth. The motion of the funnel
shaped cloud was most distinct, and
was witnessed by the entire popula-
tion.
Its first destructive work was on the
farm of John Strohm, four miles north
west of Ainsworth, demolishing every
thing in sight. Luckily the family
took to a cave. and no one was in
jured. 1t struck the house of William
Lockmiller, a mile to the east. Mrs.
Loclmiller had sought refuge in the
cellar with three small children. Her
Oldest son not coming, and fearing he
might be killed in the barn, where
he was working, Mrs. Loclmiller start
ed to call him just as the cyclone
reached them. AS she arrived at the
door the house was moved from it's
foundation and she was crushed into
a lifeless mass and her body nearly
severed in twain at the waist The
children, including the son in the
barn, we're unhurt, the funnel doing no
further damage than moving the house
a few feet, tearing off a portion of the
roof and hurling the portions a dis
tance away.
The farms of Rev. T. w. De Long,
Charles Trotter and James Strohm
were also visited and their homes de-
molished, but the families escaped to
their cyclone cellars.

Greeted Daily by Crowd of the Nor
bidly Curious.
Rennes, July G.--For Captain Drey-
fus yesterday passed off very much as
did Tuesday. Nine Dreyfus, Matthieu
Dreyfus, his brother, and Maitre La
bori, his counsel visited the prisoner,
but otherwise no special incident oc-
Cured AS an illustration of the In
difference of the population it Is
worthy of note that the words "Viye
Dreyfus," chalked upon a wall in a
corner of the town, remain absolutely
undisturbed Many, however, predict
trouble on the national fete day, when
a review of the garrison will be held.
The anti-Dreyfusites, it is feared, will
attempt to draw the troops into a
demonstration.
Nine Dreyfus, accompanied by her
parents, drove to the prison in a car
riage yesterday afternoon. Her par
ents we're not admitted but she re-
mained with her husband an hour. On
leaving she showed, for the first time,
signs of distress. She is still in deep
mourning, and is determined to remain
so until her husband regains his lib
erty.
A somewhat larger crowd than usual
watched her arrival and departure and
again displayed utter lack of manners
and consideration for her terrible po-
sition, gathering around her, rudely
staring ian her face, and pressing one
another aside in their eagerness not
to lose a single detail of the inward
agony which might be reflected in her
countenance. Her visible distress was
a feast for these ghouls, who, how
ever, were speedily dispersed.
