way Company.
Asks $4,000 Damages for the
Loss OF Leg and An
Arm.
Hopeful OF Securing Judgments
Miscellaneous News OF
the City.

A large damage suit against rail-
ginning April 1, will be watcher with in
terest by Marshalltown people, the
Of this city. The case is against the
Mexican Central Railway Company,
and is brought by E. A. Fill, who asks
damages in the sum of $4,000 for the
loss Of his right leg and right arm, In
an accident that occurred while he was
in the service Of the company as a
trainman.
Fill was employed by the road as a
brakeman on the Chihuahua division.
On Jan. Z, 1901, he was assisting in
some switching and went in between
the cars to pull pin. The pin. it seems,
was bent and stuck and in trying to get
out from between the cars when the
train started his foot caught in a frog
and he could not extricate it in time to
prevent being knocked down. The
wheels passed over the right side of the
young mans body, manglfng both the
leg and arm, and necessitating the am
putation of the arm at the shoulder,
and the leg midway between the knee
and the hip.
Fill considers that he has an excellent
case against the company and is conf
dent of securing damages. He expects
to get Judgment of at least $4,000,
which will net him, so he figures it,
about $4,000. He has been unable to
do anything since he was hurt, and has
been making his home here since leav-
ing the hospital at Ell Paso. He is a
son of j. K. Fill. a former resident of
this city but now of the Indian Terri

Miss Evans Leads Cooper by
Eight Votes...F. A. Smith
Makes a Gain.

The republican central committee
met in the east court room this after
non for the purpose of canvassing the
vote of the primary election, deciding
and discussing proposed changes in the
rules. The official count does not change
the general results, altho the count
shows that Mr.. McLeland for auditor
was credited with one more vote than
he is entitled to, and that his majority
over Norton Is 80.
Several errors were found In the re-
cordership vote except in the figures
credited to Miss Evans and Mr.. Cooper,
and it was found that Miss Evans leads
by just eight votes. Mr.. Cooper made
no contest. but agreed to accept the re-
suit as shown by the figures presented
by the various township committeeman.
Had some of the other candidates been
among the leaders, however. different
result would have been shown. as the
first figures reported from the First
ward contained several errors. f. Au-
brey Smith made n gain, in the official
count, of 40 votes, and Mrs. Packer and
Mr.. Newman both lost some. The only
change in their positions in the contest
however, is that Newman drops back
one place and j. H. Smith leads him by
q narrow margin.
The canvass was not completed until
after o'clock, when the committee
took up and discussed proposed changes
in the primary rules. The convention
date will not be reached until a late
hour.

AN EvENTFuL DAY
When Coffee Left the Household.

II never began to use coffee until
after 1 began teaching school. then a
good motherly old dame served such
nice coffee that she got me into the
way Of drinking it
Inside of year I became wreck
from insomnia and nervous prostra-
ton. Every afternoon / was SO
drowsy and filed with apprehension
that would have crying spells with
out knowing why.
II laid around the house in misery,
and was misery to every one else.
Once in a while a friend would tell me
that coffee was the cause Of my trou-
BILE. reasoned with them that only
had one cup at breakfast and that was
not enough to cause the trouble, but
/ found that that was the secret
that one cup of coffee.
ut was an eventful day in our
household when l quit coffee and
started making Postum. I followed
the directions and the result was Won
derful; no other words express it..
The Postum Coffee was of a rich,
beautiful color, and when cream was
added looked as delicious as 1t tasted
"A doctor who was in the house tasted
the Postum and said 1t was equal, to
the best Mocha or Java, then quickly
turned away as tho it was incompre-
hensible. He suspected there was
coffee in it, but I have been assured
of the absolute purity of the Postum
and have confidence in it.
Nothing ever tasted better to me
than that first, well-made cup of Pos
tum, and never since have l tasted
coffee, and I now look back with hor-
ror upon the sickness it caused. We
began, very quickly, to see the diff
ference between my condition under
Postum and under coffee l lost that
feeling of despair and restlessness
which oppressed me every afternoon
and l began to sleep like baby. Pos
tum must be given the credit for all
my Improvement.
"a word about tea also. one time
when / was visiting had package of
Postum with me. 1t gave out and be
fore | could get another l had tea for
breakfast. Within a few days the old
wretched feeling that coffee used to
give me came back. and all thru the
long afternoon 1 felt that must weep
and weep, tho really over nothing at
all.
Insomnia came back, but / quickly
quit the tea and got all right again."
Name given by Postum Co. Battle
Creek. Mich.
Postum is an absolutely pure pro-
duct of the cereals as analysed by
some of the best chemists in America
and passed upon by the various pure
food commissioners Of the different
states.

Are You Buffalo?" big, spectac-
ular. farce comedy came to the Odeon
Thursday night and succeeded In pleas
ing good-sized audience, despite the
fact that for two nights previous excel
lent attractions had been furnished to
the theater-going public.
Are You a Buffalo?" Is entirely de-
void of any semblance of plot, as a
plot is not one of Its requisites. It is
one continued long laugh, from the time
the curtain rises until 1t falls on the last
act. The company contains thirty peo-
pie, who are exquisitely costumed. The
play itself is beautifully staged with
special scenery for the different acts.
AS singing show 1t is not particularly
strong. The second act is devoted
largely to specialties and included
pleasing numbers by the musical team,
Swift and Huber, together with their
singing dog, Butch; Marty Moore in
inimitable Hebrew parodies, Miss Sa-
tour and company in the Automobile
Girls" and other choruses. The piece
is certainly all that is claimed for it
a lot of jolly nonsense thrown together
to please those who enjoy laugh.

The news contained in Thursdays
Geographic dispatches, to the effect
that the Daily Tribune at Fremont,

be greatly regretted by east Marshall
county residents. The Tribune was
owned by Frank and Ross Hammond,
former LeGrand boys. Hon. G. A. Tur-
ner, of this city, who visited Fremont
about two weeks ago, says that he
found the Hammond boys conducting a
fine business in a large three-story
building. Ross Hammond, as repub

defeated by the populists, but had re-
ceived the postoffice as a consolation
prize. Mr.. Turner thought that their

business would aggregate fully $4,000
in value. Thursdays dispatch reports

DEFINES CHRISTIANITY.
BY Rev r. w. RoSerx

Dp KEY ". w. Rogers.
Moralists never tire of describing the
influence of companions on persons life.
But if the law of association is important
in he social world we will also find that
it is just as fundamental in the religious
life.
Because there is nothing so intensely
interesting as the study OF the worlds
religions, men have always asked the
question, What is religion?" And what
is it? Some one replies, 1T is faith" But
faith is merely that which leads to God.
Another says it is righteousness. But
the righteous life is only that which
springs from a life with God.
1t is neither of these, but, rather, re-
ligion is simply a companionship with
God as revealed in nature and truth. And
as the companions of Socrates grew wise,
as the associates Of Daniel became cour-
ageous. so the companions of God be-
come broadspirited. truly righteous and
noble in character.
There could be no religion II God lived
alone. Neither could there be religious
life il man had no creator. 1t takes God
and msn TO make religion; for the es-
sence of religion is companionship like
that of a collie with its master; not a
fellowship like that of a reveller with
Bacchus, but the companionship of a
righteous man with divine being who
is infinitely upright and sympathetic.
Dogmas and creeds are useful in reiig-
ion only as helps and instruments that
guide one into the presence Of God. But
they must not usurp the place of relig-
ion, which is life with God 1t Is not
strange. then. that the people have differ
ent kinds of religious life. The reason
is that the temperament, education and
callings of men lead them into a COM
partnership with God that emphasizes
particular attributes Of the divine ma
ture.
There are 40 denominations and most
of these have a religious life because each
of them has some association with God.
But that man has the best religion who
has a Wesleyan heart. a Presbyterian
conscience, and an Episcopalian reserve,
because his religious fife issues out of a
companionship with God that appreciates
all parts of the divine nature.
The world is constantly perplexing it
self with the question, What is Chris
tianity?' And should the interrogatiye
be put to many Christians some would
declare that it is the system Of truth por-
trayed in Paufs epistle to the Romans.
But it is more than that. Others would
affirm that it is the sermon on the mount.
Christianity is just a companionship with
Christ; and the book of Romans-great
as it isis but letter of introduction
to the Nazarene and the precepts spoken
on the mount picture a type of the con-
duct and life that results from association
with the Christ.
Christianity IS the highest type of
friendship between God and man. We
talk about going to heaven when we die,
but the heavenly life, companionship with
the Godlike and Christlike begins here.
Paul and Luther went to heaven before
they died. not after. And so must man
to-day. for religion is wholesome and
sustaining companionship with God that
begins on earth and continues through
the centuries.

Teacher Knew How to Calm the Little
Co1ored Boys.
A class of colored boys in New 70, X
mission had a new teacher, sim,
pretty negro girl. They had hooted Il
good many teachers out of the school,
and the new mistress of the ferule
looked so easy to Gefeat that when she
first took her place behind the desk the
boys graoned derisively. But they he 4
met their match. The New York Sun
tells how she conquered them.
She stood quietly by her desk, smil-
ing, as a chorus of catcalls made the
room roar.
Il thought you might want me to
sing for you," she said. She had a
pretty voice and had taken singing les
sons.
HUH Think yeh kin sing? jeered
one OF the boys.
Il know l can"
This confidence silenced them for
moment.
Then they yelled, Go on and sing.
Pattir'
Not while you act like hoodIums.
Music would be wasted on you"
That piqued them. One of them start
ed a tune. The others joined, ard the
result was like chorus of angels.
That was good, boys"
kin you do betterY
Yes You need lessons"
We'll, go on an show us"
'Will you keep still?'
"Yaas'm."
She went over to the organ. The boys
rolled their eyes and winked. They
would keep their promise and be silent
while she sang, but after that!
The teacher began plantation song.
After the first note the wriggling
urchins settled down. The superin-
tendent, who had been listening anx-
iously in the next room, wiped her eye
as the song came to close. The boys
were as still as the stars.
The singer went on from one planta-
ton tune to another. Finally she drift
ed into familiar gospel hymn. A voice
took up the refrain. She turned her
head and nodded. Then the chorus
swelled.
After the last note the teacher closed
the organ and went to the desk
III hear the class in reading now"
There were no objections, not a
sound except low voice in the front
muttering, You suttenly kin sing"'
That's what | told you," said the
teacher, coolly.
