LOST A FOOT.
Serious Accident BefaIIs Brakeman
Will Matthews.


viii Matthews, of this city, an Iowa
Central brakeman, met with very
painful and serious accident last even
ing that resulted in the loss of a foot.
Will was on freight No. SO north
bound, Ed Clifford, conductor, and AL
fred EIDE, engineer. The train was at
Marley Junction doing some work.
The engine was backing onto some
siding pushing some fiat cars. Mat
thews attempted to get on one of the
cars to save walking some distance.
He stumbled over tile and started to
fall putting his foot out to save him
self, but in such manner that he was
caught by the wheel and the foot was
run over and crushed to pulp.
Matthews was picked up and carried
to the way car. The train was inn
mediately given orders to run extra"
to Mason City and all possible time
was made to that city with the wound
ed man. He was taken into the hospi-
tai at that place and the foot was am
putated about 10:30 o'clock. The
young man rallied strongly from the
operation and has been doing as nice
ly since as can be expected. Reports
received from him today are of fav-
orable character and it is thought that
he will get along without further
trouble.
The mother, Mrs. S. e. Matthews,
and his wife were telegraphed for inn
mediately after the accident happened
and were taken to the bedside of the
injured boy on passenger No. 5 at
10:30 o'clock p. m. and the ladies are
now with the sufferer The accident
is a most unfortunate affair and Will
has the sympathy of many friends
here.

Real Estate
For Sale.

A great many farmers and investor,
are going to Missouri to invest in farm
lands, and it is an important question
where the best lands are to be found
We have spent considerable time
and money to investigate Missouri
lands and believe we know what we
are talking about, when we say that
there is large area of hard pan land
In northeastern Missouri and southern
Iowa. Notwithstanding what some
real estate agents will tell you to the
contrary. They will also tell you that
crops are as large in northeastern Mis-.
souri, this year as they are in the Mis-.
souri, River counties, such as Charlton,
Saline and Carroll counties. Now ac-
coro4ng 20 the state labor commission
er's official map of 1900, which is the
last one out, the county of Charlton
shipped three times as much wheat as
ten (l0) northeastern counties COM
bined. The same can be said for Sa-
line and Carroll counties. The Stats
tics of the state of Missouri are strong
er than the denial of the above facts
by any individual or real estate agent,
whether from Missouri or Iowa.
Now we want to make proposition
which will be published in this paper
for two weeks and is open to anyone,
whether he is in the real estate bust
ness or not. We will go with intended
purchasers or real estate dealers
through the northeastern counties and
examine the conditions and size of this
years crop, and then go and do the
same thing in Charlton, Saline or Car
roll counties, and if the crops are not
from Is to 80 per cent larger in the
last three named counties we will pay
the railroad fare and all the expenses
of the party. But if they are as we
state the expenses are to be paid by
those who deny the above statements
and are willing to accept our PROPOSE
ton.
The proof OF the pudding is the eat
ing thereof. Will pay to verify the
ABOVE statements, if SO, go with us
and see the land in Charlton county
and the largest crops you ever saw.
We have taken % parties from this
county the last month and will gladly
refer you to any or all of them, We
have about so farms in Charlton coun-
ty ranging from 80 to 500 acres, from
$50 to $50 per acre. We guarantee
these lands to raise more corn and
wheat than any land in Iowa or ILL
nois, also as fine blue grass, timothy,
etc.
We have an Office in Keytesville,
Charlton county, Missouri, one Of the
members of our firm can be found
there at all times. We will be pleased
to take you anytime it suits you.
Call at our office and we will show
you the statistics of the production of
each county in Missouri.

ing to the general determination .vinc.d
by shareholders To hold their stock a. an
investment. and. as a result. prices are
soaring. with no trades recorded.
The scarcity Of the stock ia bsSt demon
strated by the fact that only one transaction
has taken place in il since December. this
one being the sal. of 5000 shares about two
weeks ago at Sl.65 a share. The stock has
been Offered in the last week at ). Il share.
with little TO he had even at this price.
Outside orders for thousands of shares
have been received by Beaumont brokers
and have been returned. owing To the fact
that so little OF the stock Is TO be had
on mis- market. The same condition exists
al Houston ard Galveston \ further adj
vance in price is confidently predicted by
those who are familiar with the situation.
The unusual demand for the stock Is at
tributed TO the fact that the company has

Whether he committed suicide or was

him of $500. The police detained him until
midnight. and then sent him 10 the insti-
tute. There he was directed to a cot on
the upper floor. and this was the last seen
of him alive.
y dozen dodgers slept within a few yards
of where the body was found. They report
ed having heard a noise. probably a shot.
during the night. but no investigation was
made. Henderson came here from the
North yesterday on business.
Letters found in the dead mans trunk

terdGy. before he was robbed, were ad-
dressed to Jorgen Hanson. Sverdrup. Otter

ment.
The proprietor of the hotel says Hender-
son told him that he had come to Missouri

Two negroes who slept last night at the
Helping Hand Were arrested to-day on sus-
ricion OF knowing something about the
mans death. The women who robbed him
have also been taken in charge.
