A Narrow Escape.

Fred Woke, farmer, who resides
southwest of this city had marrow es-
cape from death Wednesday evening
He left the city about II o'clock in the
evening and when he was nearing the
Milwaukee road track in Milford street
his team was going at lively clip and
although Roadmaster Buffmire who hap
pened to be near aG that time tried to
stop them, the team dashed over the
crossing just as the east bound fast mail
reached that point the engine struck the
wagon and severed it from the horses.
Wo0dke was thrown from his seat up
against the railroad shanty and the hog
trake and wagon box was carried some
distance by the force of the impact.
When the train was stopped it was
discovered that W0odke was only sllghly
bruised and he was cared for over night
His team ran to the home Of John Helden
and were taken care of until morning

THEATRICAL NOTES.

A very large audience was present
last Sunday evening at Turner Opera
house to witness Shipman Brothers,
presentation of Mark Twain's comedy,
Pudd'nhead Wilson. That the company
presenting the piece was first-class was
clearly evident as the hearty responses
from the audience testified to at times.
The piece is one of the homely kind
with but little chance for highly cOlored
theatricals and may not have
pleased all, but it satisfied most Of those
present and that is sufficient. William
S. Gill in the title role was superb and
enacted the difficult role of struggling
lawyer, possessed Of an honest heart. to
perfection. He was well supported by
the rest of the cast. The company is
certainly flrst-ciass one and we hope to
see them again in some other attraction.

Fredericksburg, Ind, Dec. 2.-Ac-
cording to the positive declaration of
Rev. E. p. Stevens Of this place, that
gentleman has found a remedy for all
diseases of the kidneys and urinary or .
gans. For ear he suffered severely
with these complaints, incontinence of

but he never ceased experimenting, in
the hope that some day he would dis
cover a remedy. After many failures
he at last succeeded and is to-day per-
fectly cured and a well man, and ex-
plains that his recovery is due to the
use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. This rem
edy has been successfully applied to
many cases of Lame Back, Rheuma-
tism, Bright's Diesase, Diabetes and
other Kidney Diseases, and there seems
to be no case of the kind that Dodd's
Kidney Pills will not cure. This is the
only remedy hat has ever cured

case, only to a partial extent. He has
