Trains on the southwest branch of.

day evening by freight train smash
up near Muscatine. The train, which
consisted of engine No. 1909, five box
cars and caboose, while running at
speed of so miles an hour, jumped the
track about three miles from Musca
tine at a point opposite the old Joe
Lorber farm, on Muscatine island.
1t is thought the accident occurred
by the spreading of the rails. The
heavy engine and one car passed over
all right but the next three cars and
.caboose went to smash. \ wreeking

in the court of Justice Hall, on Mon
day decided the damage suit brought
by John Sievert against William
Reiniger by awarding So to the plain
tiff. Sievert is book peddler, and
from the evidence submitted he en-
tered the Juergen Brandt saloon and
overlooked a game of cards which
was being played there. He passed
some remark which caused Reiniger
TO strike him blackening his optic and

DIR. Horne
And Staff of Ex-
pert Specialists
AT THE
Illinois X-Ray Infirmary
Mitchell & Lynde
Building.

The fame of the medical staff of
the Illinois y Ray Infirmary, with
DR.. j. Alvin Horne as president, is
positively unmatched in the state by
that of any other body of medical spe-
cialists There is good reason for this
they cure the most desperate chronic
cases after they have been abandoned
by other physicians as incurable, and
their high professional reputation is
therefore merited.
These physicians treat a certain
class of diseases and confine their
practice to them alone.
They treat and cure all chronic, ner-
vous and organic diseases of both men
and women.
Their methods of diagnosis and
treatment are scientifically in adj
vance of all ordinary methods in med
icine and surgery. They are masters
of all pelvic weaknesses and diseases,
as they affect the male and female,

way of one wagon and directly in
front of another coming in the oppo-

Herschl Printy, aged ~ years, a
prisoner i'm the Scott county Jail since
last Friday, yesterday through his
attorney, w. NJ. Chamberlin, began
proceedings in habeas corpus to again
secure his freedom. Printy WAS ar
rested in this city at his rooms in the
Newcomb block upon information
from the authorities at Carthage, who
stated that he was wanted at that
place for abduction. He was being
held here pending the arrival of an
officer from that place to take him
back. 1t was presumed by the local
authorities that the delay in coming
after the prisoner was caused by the
Illinois authorities taking time to
first secure a requisition. The hear
ing of the application for the habeas
corpus has been set by Judge Boil
linger for 10 o'clock tomorrow morn

Lightning played a curious prank
Monday night at the butcher shop on
Fifteenth street belonging to Hans
Wind. After one of the heavy crashes
people living across the street from
the shop noticed the gas jet in the
window afame. The bluff firemen
were notified and the flame was put
out by turning off the gas where it
entered the building. An electric
wire was left hanging over the jet
and it is thought that the lightning
struck the gas pipe and made short
circuit. A hole was burnt into the
pipe where the wire touched it and
the lamp was burnt off.
