TRAINS COME TOGETHER.

a Northwestern Special and the
Central,s story City Train Collide
at second street.
A collision between two trains at the
Second street crossing occurred at about
GAO o'clock this morning. when a North
western special, esst-bound, in charge Of
Conductor w. "A. Robinepn, Of Clinton.
and pulled by Engineer e. Nichols, with
engine 209, and the Central's Story City
branch train No. 303. In charge Of Con
ductor r. NJ. Chapman and hauled by
Engineer Miles kelleher. with the SO,
came together.
Just which crew liz to blame In the
matter lie not known definitely, and
probably Will not until the roads hold
their Investigations. The Central claims
that its train had the right-of-way owe
the cfoseing and that the flagman on
duty signalied the Northwestern to come
ahead. The Northwestern alleges that
1t received the signal to advance. and
that 1t had the r~isht-of-way in entering
the city. Nevertheless the big ocean
liner Of the North western struck the
sG%entral's engine ~amidships, knocking OFF
the cylinder On the right side and oth-
Ierwise Gripping her. The Northwestern
locomotive, OF account Of its superior
size ard weight, was scarcely hurt, a
few marks on the pilot being about all
there was to show for the collision.
The Central's engine had to be taken
to the shop and another, No. A., substi-
tuted. Considerable delay was caused
to the branch train, as 1t did not leave
the city until $40, Luckily neither OF the
enginemen was hurt, and no cars were
demolished.

THOUSANDS BEAR WITNESS.
To the Value OF the pyramid Pile
(ure.

Thousands of pile sufferers bear wit
ness to the. inestimable value of the
Pyramid Pile Cure and even those VINO
have undergone surgical operations
without cure have been happily SUR
prised by results from a few weeks
treatment with the pyramid.
The relief from pain and Itching is al
most instantaneous and the healing
oils and astringents contained in the.
remedy gradually and naturally bring
about a complete cure in any form of
piles, itching, ~protruding, internal or
bleeding.

writes: ~ was troubled with piles so.

Mr.. Edward Dunellen, of Wilkes
barre, Pa, says: For seven years I
was scarcely eve free from the itching
torment of piles. I had used ointments
and salves without number and often
times got relief from them, but it took
the Pyramid Pile Cur to make a com
plete cure and it did 1t thoroughly, and
for eighteen months / have not had the

more rejoiced because some of my

fered greatly from piles and rectal
troubles. I could; not bring myself TO

Returns NADIA
a Disappointment and : Misrepre'
ssatatloD, But Figures Accepted
With Good Graca

The census bureau at Washington has
the population OF Marshali-
town to be 11,S44. While II was known
that many omissions were made when
the census was taken and that the fact
of the glucose works being closed down
several months prior to the enumera-
ton was made reduced the pres
emit population by at least 500, the fig-
pres announced are still q disappoint-
ment, as it was believed that in the face
OF these disadvantages the count would
show at least 1900.
While 1t is certain that this city con-
tains within Its boundaries in the
neighborhood Of 1900 souls, the govern
ment count will have to be accepted
with good grace and the figures be all.
lowed to stand until 1906, when the
state census will be taken. The only re-
grettable feature Of the showing il. that
the government figures place both Wa
terloo and Fort Dodge ahead OF Mar
shalltown for the first time, when 1t ID
believed we have q population greater
than that OF Fort Dodge and equal to
ne not greater than thai Of Waterloo.
The recent registration Of voters indi-
Gated that Waterloo and Marshalltown
were almost equal in size, both having
a few more than 1000 voters, while Fort
Dodge's registration was only 2.0b6.
Marshalltown for the past ten years has
ranked as the twelfth In size in the
state, but now, according to the gov
eminent report. must step down to fif-
teenth position. The population Of
Marshall county IL given as 1891, or
only nine less than 10000. against 1890
In 1895.
The showing, when comparisons are
made, Is very gratifying. n Marshall
town will still rank as one OF the enter
prising, growing towns OF the state. We
have got back, since the census was
taken, 500 population by the reopennig
of the glucose works and the conse-
quent return to the city Of the employees
and their families. In the thickly set
tied section just west OF the city limits
and contributing to its trade n indus
tries there are at least 300, and south OF
the city boundary there are at least 200
more, while the Soldiers Home popula-
ton OF TOO is just Y the corporation
fence.
In 1890 the government census gave
Marshalltown q population of 1914, the
present enumeration showing an in
crease in the ten years OF $500. The

ton of 1909. making the apparent in
