Fort Dodge, Ia, Aug. 14.-James
Greene, station agent at Ohio, a town
ON the Minneapolis and St. Louis rail
way, few miles south of Fort Dodge,
yesterday through confusion of orders
sent out gravel train to meet a fast
freight coming from the north. When
he discovered that a collision was in
evitable Greene lost his reason and
became violently insane, being pre-
vented from self destruction by those
around him. He Is now under the In.
fiuence of chloroform. 1t is feared his
reason is permanently impaired.
Greene received orders to let the gray
ell train go to pass the freight at Fort
Dodge, but later orders notified him
that they would pass at Otho. By mis-.
take he gave the first orders to the
gravel train, which had gone too far
to be recalled before he noticed the
blunder. He wired Fort Dodge, but the
freight had already left; then his mind
snapped under the strain.
The trains came together on a
heavy grade, but the crews jumped and
escaped injury. The engines were
badly smashed, but aside from this the
damage was slight.

ATHLETICMANAGER
Augustana College May Call

Local Institution to BE Brought &c

Sports.

With the change in management at
Augustana college there has been in
fused a new enthusiasm in athletics
and plans are being laid which, when
carried out, will place the college in
the rank with other western schools
of like size and Importance. To ac-
complish this the system of athletic
management in vogue in most univer-
stiles in the west will be introduced
and one man is to be hired to have in
charge all the activities of the school.
The athletic management of the
college is now endeavoring to make
arrangements SO that the college
will secure an instructor for the foot
ball team next year, the baseball
team and for other games that are
played. The matter has been under
consideration for some weeks.
There are several men in sight but
none has been decided on at present.
williams is Favored.
The man the most in favor is Capt.
Clyde Williams of the last seasons
Iowa football team, who is consider
ed one Of the best football and base
ball players the western colleges have
ever turned out. 1t is thought that
salary of $4,000 will be offered him.
Capt. Williams has been declared a
professional on account of playing
baseball one summer for money and
on that account barred from the
Iowa team, so the chances are good
to secure him for Augustana.
For the last several years there has
not been as much enthusiasm in ath-
letics at Augustana but if a capable
man is hired there is no reason why
this college after short while under
proper instructions, should not be
equal to cope with the several col
leges in the central states, both in
football and baseball. The matter
will be decided shortly after Christ |
mas.

from the bed of sand beneath it in a
number of places about the city and We

1T Is IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking When U.s.
ing Catarrh Medicines.


Catarrh is the short route to con
sumption, and the Importance OF
early and judicious treatment of ca
tarrh, whether located in the head
throat or bronchial tubes, cannot be
too strongly emphasized.
The list of catarrh cures is as long
as the moral law and the forms in
which they are administered, numer-
Gus and confusing, from sprays, in
halers, washes, ointments, and salves
to powders, liquids and tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the
most convenient and the most effec-
tive, but with nearly all advertised
catarrh remedies it is almost entire
ly matter of guess work as to what
you are taking into your system, as
the proprietors, while making all
sorts of claims as to what their med
icines will do, always keep it a close
secret as to what they are.
--The success and popularity of the
new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, is largely because it not on
| ly cures catarrh, but because catarrh
sufferers who use these tablets know
what they are taking into their sys-
TENS. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are
composed of red gum, blood root and
similar valuable and antiseptic in
gradients, and are pleasant to the
taste, and being dissolved in the
mouth they take immediate effect
upon the mucous lining of the
throat, nasal passages and whole re-
spiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets have accomplished in old
chronic cases of catarrh are little
short of remarkable, and the advan-
tage of knowing what you are put
ting into your stomach is of para
mount Importance when il is remem-
bered that the cocaine or morphine
habit has been frequently contracted
as the result of using catarrh RENE
dies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with
cordial approval from physicians,
because their antiseptic character
renders, them perfectly safe for the
general public to use and their COM
position makes them a common
sense cure for all forms of catarrhal
troubles.
All druggists sell them at 90 cents
for full sized packages.
