Les broken and Several Passen-

A street car collision, In which Law
renee M. eau, motorman, and John
Steffen, a passenger, were seriously MUIR
ed and a number OF other passengers and
street car employees badly shaken up, &C.
Cured at o'clock yesterday morning
near Edgewater station. on the Green
Lake division of the General Electric
Company's system.
Passenger car No. %, In charge OF Con-
ductor John Stemke and Motorman Law
renee NJ eau, crashed into freight car
No. 102. In charge of Conductor George
Kemble and Motorman Roy G.. Croker.
A heavy fog was directly responsible for
the accident. which came wholly without
warning. the cars meeting on slight
grade while both were running at full
speed.
The passenger car. which fortunately
carried but few passengers. was bound
for the Green lake terminus while the
freight car, loaded with wood. was on
Its way to the city. Both motormen act
cd promptly and with great presence Of
mind, but IL was an impossfbility for
them to avert the collision, the rails wet
and slippery with fog rendering the
brakes useless. When the crash came
both men were still at their posts. The
result was that both we're injured, Gau's
leg being broken. Croker was but little
hurt being bruised and cut by broken
glass.
Some OF the passengers. who saw the
loaded freight car loom up through the
fog a few rods ahead just before the
collision came. jumped and were not In
jured. For the most part. however, the
passengers were unaware OF the dan
ger and were thrown violently from their
seats by the shock. A few who We're

HIGHWAYMEN AGAIN BUSY.
o. G. Taugbey and u. Bardsley Held
Up in Residence Portion of City
Robbers secure Small Booty.

Two hold-ups occurred in the residence
portion of the city last night shortly after
10 o'clock. From the descriptions OF the
highwaymen given by the respective VIC
tins, o. c. Taugbey and b. Bardsley, the
police are inclined to believe that the
same robbers are responsible for both.
There were two of them.
Taugbey, who is a clerk In the Bon
Marche store, was the first to be held up.
He was going along Virginia street, near
Eighth avenue, when he was suddenly
seized from behind. At the same time a
man stepped out before him and told him
to throw up his hands. He covered Taug-
hey with a gun, while the second man
searched him. They secured a silver
watch and a valuable gold chain and
charm. besides = in silver
The other victim. Y Bardsley, was held
up at Boylston avenue and Pike street.
He was returning down town after call
ing on some friends and was walking
along Pike. Two hiEhwaymcN. who had
been standing at dark corner, suddenly
confronted him with revolvers. He lost

1t is probable that Chief of Police Reed
who last Monday filed his resignation, to
take effect December L. will today quit
the service of the city. Mayor Humes
returned from hunting trip in Skagit
county yesterday and announced that the
resignation would be accepted 1t is Chief
Reeds desire to leave at once on short
vacation trip and with that end in view
he has asked for leave of absence of
two weeks. Mayor Humes will grant
this leave of absence. which will prac-
tically put the resignation into effect to-
day.
1t is likely therefore Mayor Humes will
today appoint an acting chief. to whom
Mr.. Reed will turn over the duties of the
Office he has filled since July, 1897. In all

lice captain and one OF tho oldest men

to say now whom l shall appoint. There
is no occasion for haste. The position Is

The records OF the civil service corn

THE FIRST BABY.
Its Coming is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most inn
portant event of married life. The young
wife who is to become mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, mother"
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. Anindescribable fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness. :.
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use of Mothers Friend"-a scien-
tific liniment-for q few weeks before
the trying hour, expectant mothers can
so prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering of the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
it is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es.
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, in
such remedy for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dam
ger, which is in store for them. 'Moth.
er's FRIEND is woman's greatest bles-
sing, for it takes her safely through the
severest ordeal of her life. Every woman
should be glad to read the little book
