together in head-on collision two and

killed and thirty-nlne injured, nine Of

The injured:

Each train was going at good rate

The impact was something terrific, the
cars of the work train being thrown
on top of one another and badly demol-

on the train, all being crowded on
two fiat and one way car. Many were
buried under the wreckage and are
either dead or aying, and a great
many have been badly injured.
The list of dead includes both en-

and escaped serious injury, but the
other lost one leg and was otherwise
bruised, and may not live.
Doctors have been summoned from
all of the surrounding towns, and are
arriving as fast as horses can get them
here.
The wreck is the worst ever known
on this division Of the road. 1t is
said to have been caused by mis-
understanding of orders by the con-

THE CATS ANAESTHETIC BREATH
Intended by Nature to Benumb the
Senses Of Its Prey.

Senses Of Its Prey.
The most startling theory from q
scientific standpoint is that the breaths
of all animals of the cat family act as
a chloroform to all other species. The
theory is explained in an article. suu--
lished some years ago in Scientific
magazine and preserved in a scrap
book by Assistant District Attorney
Mcintyre of Denver. The article says:
"a recent published story criticises
the notion that cat sucks away
child's breath. This is merely an ex-
preston, erroneous in it's form, of
physiological fact. All the felidae
possess poisonous breaths, intended by
nature to act as an anaesthetic on
their prey. II person cares to ex-
pertinent by inhaling, for instance,
cats breath, he can easily realize the
truth of this statement. Carefully
watch cat playing with mouse, you
will discover thai the mouse does not
suffer, but is sort Of stupefed, as II
by chloroform In the Life of Liv-
ingstone,' written by himself, Of ex-
plorations in Africa, he states that
once, when he was seized by lion
and his arm broken, the crunching OF
the broken arm gave him no pain, so
benumbed were his senses by the ami
mails breath.
"A cat seeks the child. its soft bedf
and the warmth ct its body, and lies
down on the chest Of the infant. It's
weight impedes respiration, its breath
anaesthetizes the child, and death
follows. This circumstances has ac-
tually occurred, and medical records

oSTEoPATHs ARE ADMITTED.
Attorney General MuIIan Holds the
New Law Went Into Effect July 4.


New Law Went Into Effect July 4.
Des Moines, Aug. S.-The state
board of medical examiners admitted
to practice yesterday 278 osteopaths.
Certificates were granted to all appli-
cants under the new law of the Twen-
ty-ninth general assembly. This law
permits the registration of all osteo-
paths, graduating from legally incor-
porated schools of osteopathy recog-
nized by the iowa Osteopathic asso-
citation, and in practice before July 4,
the date the measure went into effect.
Two legal points were involved in
dealing with the osteopaths and on
these the board of medical examiners
secured the opinion of Attorney Gen
eral Mullan. The first question was
whether the words, passage of this
act" found in the new law meant
April s, when the measure was ap-
proved by the governor, or July !,
when the new law went into effect.
AS persons in practice before the pas
sage OF the act were entllled to certi-
ficates without examination, this mat
ter was important for the osteopaths.
Attorney General Mullan neld it meant
July 4. Consequently the graduates
Of this year at Still college and other
institutions were entitled to certi-
ticates without examination.
The other question was whether the
board of examiners had the right to
disregard the recognition of the Iowa
Osteopathic ASSOCIATION and determine
whether school of osteopathy was
living up to the requirements of the
statute as to course of study. Attor-
ney General Mullan held that whether
school complied with the provisions
of the statute in maintaining the
course of study demanded by the law
was to be determined by the board If
medical examiners and, if a school
did not, the fact it was recognized by
the Iowa Osteopathic association did
not make it school tie graduates #
which the board could give GER

All this fortells q successful fair, one
that Is bound to be remembered by

The fair of 1902 will have many m

sisters in the production of live stock
The figures of the chief statistican OF

The total of live stock in Iowa to be
T,4S6,986, more than that of any other
'tate in the union. And out of this
grand total will be mace up one of the
greatest live stock exhibitions IN
America. 1901 saw 1000 head of live
stock exhibited at the State Fair Of
iowa. OF this number the great per

And what is true of the cattle depart
ment is also true of the horse, swine

The high price of 4-orses during the
past twelve months, and especially of
draft horses, has been great boon 10
the breeders of all heavy horses. They
have no difficulty in getting from
100000 to $2,5OO0O for good ami

for stalls at the State Fair from breed
ers of heavy horses than ever before.
The afternoon and evening attrac-

anything yet seen on the grounds dur

Last Days of Pompeii," the most Won
derful spectacular production in the
world, will be seen for four nights COM

This great production shows in realis-

history.
