KILLED IN A RAILROAD WRECK.

Collins, Iowa, Aug. THE worst
wreck in years for the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul railroad occurred
Yesterday a mile and a half west of this
town, an east-bound local train colliding

laborers to their work, about $50 men
riding on the fiat cars. The local train
left Collins about the same time, collid-
ing with the work train at an exceed
ingly sharp curve midway between the
two towns. Both engines were COM
pletely demolished and about fifteen
cars were broken into kindling wood.
Dead men were found in every conceiy-
able place and position. Doctors were

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicinein the civiliz-
ed world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Biliousness.
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Pros
tration or Heart failure, ETC. They used
August Flower to clean out the system
and stop fermentation ofundigested food,
regulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need a few doses
of Green's August Flower, in liquid form,
to make YOU satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can

AFTER ALL the palayer, dip omatic
CORRESPONDENCE and Governor Taft :
personal interviews with the Pope con-
corning the friars' lands in the Philip
pines it now turns out, according to IN
formation received by the Vatican, tia
almost all the real estate belonging TO
Spanish friars in the Philippines was
sold before American occupation to
syndicates and corporations duly regis
tered and legally recognized. beaded by
Americans living in New York it Il
ALLEGED bv the same authority that al
though the friars hold some
shares in these corporations, they
do not own controlling interests.
The Vatican is naturally surprised al
this information, in view Of Governor
Taft's proposition to buy the friars'
lands. which apparently are no longer
in their control. Ii is considered re-
markable that Governor Taft, fresh from
the Philippines, was not aware OF the
situation. The denouement has placed
this country in ridiculous light before
the other nations of the world and has
shown that the individual American
land grabber is as keen set for gain and
a little more previous even than those
who are now running this government.

A REFRACTORY PRISONER

Rome, Aug 7-Musolino, the notori-
Gus brigand now in prison for highway
robbery and murder, is the most difficult
prisoner the Italian authorities have had
to deal with in many years. He con-
stantly resists and insults his guards.
On Saturday he felled the sentinel in
front of his cell and walked out. He
had to be roughly handled before he was
replaced During the struggle the bri-
gand shouted continuously. "Long live
America" The wish on the part of
Muselino to go the United States has be-
come mania. He discusses it inces-

reign of terror at Summit Hill, five miles
east of here, this morning, when several
hundred strikers paraded the streets in
quest of nOn-strikers on their way to

were attacked and the town for several
hours was in the hands of the mob ele-
ment. Three non-union men who per-
sited in going to work were seized and
thrown over steep embankment.

General Goblin, each time, did not con-
slider that the situation warranted it.

TRAIN WRECKED By WATER.-A
Rio Grande special passenger train from
the East, bound to California and carry
ing 300 tourists, was ditched just east of
Florence, near Swallows, Col, yester-
day. The wreck was caused by the train
being struck by wall Of water eight feet
high coming down a creek, caused by
the heavy rains in the mounains south
OfSwalIOw. A brakeman saw the torrent
when it was only short distance from
the train. He rushed through the eight
coaches and toldtie passengers on the
two rear cars to hurry to the front of the
train. Just as the last tourist left the
rear coach the water stuck the cars,
breaking the couplings and hurting them
10 feet from the track. A sleeping car
was thrown against farmhouse. The
car formed a wall and turned the water
from the house, thus saving the building
from going into the river and also saved
the lives of its occupants. The engine
was badly damaged by the water, but
pulled the two cars remaining on the
track some distance from the food.

been decided upon. 1--WE will not have
q candidate in the First district" he
said. "because it is overwhelmingly
democratic. We will name a candidate
in the Second district, where the demo-
Gratis are divided in their choice and
where we have won in the past. In the
Third and Fourth districts the republic
cans will name some one, and in the
Fifth the nomination has already been
made. We have notyet decided whether
we will place an opponent in the field
AGAINST Mr.. Glass in the Sixth district,
while in the Seventh and Tenth we will
not do ANYTHING. In the Eighth and
Ninth districts candidates will be
named" Mr.. Agnew says that 1t Is
important to make a fight this year and
next wear in order to get all the re-
publicans registered. He says that it
will be difficult to secure the reglstrat-
ton of republicans in 1904.

BOND FROM LYNCHERs.


Weaver. Grimes and lie Fevre believed
to be implicated in the Craven lynching
were yesterday required to furnish bonds
aggregating $50, 1000 to await action of
the grand jury, which meets at Leesburg
on Monday. Judge r. II. Tebbs, pre-
siding over the County Court of LOU
DOM. fixed the bail bond. Weaver
and Grimes being held in sl5, 600 each,
and lie Feyre was required to furnish
$40, 600 surety.
Since the coroner's jury returned Its
verdict, Tuesday afternoon, there have
been very strenuous times in Leesburg
and vicinity. 1t has been rumored that
eight or ten men were likely to be
charged with completely in the lynch
ing. but the fact that the maximum
number was named and that all are
residents of Loudoun county has made
the situation more tense. During the
whole of Tuesday night and throughout
the day the authorities have been search
ing high and low for those implicated
but they have not been as successful as
might have been expected. Six of the
ten men held responsible are within the
tolls of the law, but it is difficult mat
ter to make further prediction.
So far the authorities have been un-
able to fluid any trace of Charles Lowen-
back, the Leesburg saloonkeeper, who
is one of the leaders of the affair. 1t Is
understood he went to Washington, and
NAV also spend little time at the sum-
mer resorts before returning home. Mar
vim Wilson. nephew of Mr.. Wilson,
who was murdered, supposedly by
Craven, who was lynched, has also
evaded the officials, although he is ex-
pected to surrender without search. The
two Wiliamses have not been heard
from. 1t is expected, however, that
they will turn up at the proper time.
Scott Bradley and Edward PaXson,
who are implicated, have been lockeduT
since the night of the lynching, having
been taken into custody for some tritilng
onense. while Harry Knipple has been
under arrest at Frederick, Nd, and viii
be brought to Leesburg by Sheriff Rus
sell today. Samuel II. Grimes wa
taken into custody Tuesday evening
and Justice Charles r. Harrison de
cIined to accept any bond for him. He
spent the night in Jail as companion t.
Bradley and Paxson.
On Monday the grand jury meets anC
there is much speculation as whether O.
not true bills will be returned against thu
ten men held by the coroner's jury
The evidence adduced at the hearing 70
bail was somewhat different from tina
which, it is said was given before tn
coroner's jury. No stenographic repor
was kept of the proceedings and on tn
applications for bail yesterday witnesse
took exceptions to the testimony as re
ported in the official reports. Whethe
or not true bills are returned on Monda,
there will be no trial of the cases unit
the September term of court. This oc
ours during the second week of the month
and the petit jury will be summoned from
Ioudoun county. BY that time the con
ditions which prevail at presents are likel
to be completely changed, Until tina
decision is reached, however, everyone
on the anxious seat.
