Burlington, Jan. S.-John q. Kelly.
engineer of the Burlington fast mail
No. s, was killed early this morning
at Buda, ILL.,, in an unusual and nor
rifying manner. He was in the cab
of engine No. 1862 pulling the fast
mail thru a heavy storm at a terrific
rate to make UP twenty minutes OF
lost time, hoping to reach Chicago on
the schedule. AS the engine passed
the station at Buda the long driving rod
on the right side snapped close to the
big driver, quickly smashed the cab
and. catching Engineer Kelly, pounded
his body into a pulp and then threw
1t from the engine out into the right
of way. The broken driver also tore
away the pump Of the air brake, which
set the brakes, stopping the train with
in several car lengths. Kelly's body
was picked up and taken to Galesburg.
The little life remaining in it passed
out before that place was reached.
Aside from the death Of Kelly and the
damage to the cab no other injury was
sustained and the train proceeded to
Chicago with another engine and en-
gineer None OF the mail crew was
injured. Mr.. Kelly was one of the best
engineers in the employ of the
and has some OF the record
breaking fast runs to his credit. He
leaves widow. Mrs. Kelly tells
thing in connection with the
death of her husband. He has been in
several wrecks within the past four
years, his escapes being marvellous. On
each of these occasions Mrs. Kelly says
she has had vision of the disaster.
AT the time of the Riverside wreck
she dreamed she saw the engines COM
ing together and tried to get the station
agent to stop them, but could not. Her
vision proved to be the counterpart of
the actual occurrepce. This morning
at the time OF the wreck Mrs. Kelly
says she was startled in her sleep by
q terrible crash, all was confusion liz
her mind and then she awoke to find
all silent in and about the house. She
could not go to sleep, however, and
toward morning friends came with the
story OF her husbands death. She be-
lieves she heard the crash of the brok-
en driving rod In her dreams.

cHEWED MATCHES.
Little Child Badly Poisoned from Eat

Little StIlQ odOty FOtSoUSo ttoIu .ds-
ing Thirty Six Match Heads.
Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Jan. s.-Harold, the little
3-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. NJ.
Grigsby, residing on Commercial street,
near West Fourth street, is In critical
condition from poisoning, the result Of
chewing the heads from thirty-six par
lor matches. The affair occurred Mon
day, and altho the parents and attend
ing physician did all in their power to
allay the evil results following, the lit
tie one is yet in serious condition.
However, it is thought that his recoy-
cry will mean only a matter of time.
It is unknown how the little fellow
procured the matches, but it is thought
he climbed upon the chair and from
that position reached the box. He then
seated himself upon the floor and,
child-like, put them IN his mouth. The
taste apparently pleased him, and when
he was discovered by his mother he had
eaten the heads from thirty-six match
es. The wooden sticks of all We're
found near by, minus the sulphur ends.
An emetic was promptly administered,
and physician summoned. After an
application of the stomach pump and
other medical apparatus the poison was
taken from his stomach. He was given
an antidote and other precautions were
taken to eliminate the poison from his
system, and today he is resting as cas-
lily as possible under the circumstances.
The father has been employed by the
Illinois Central Railway Company in the
capacity Of brakeman for the past
eight or nine months, but the remainder
of the family arrived here but a few
weeks ago from little place near Des
Moines

PENDANT under arrest for violation Of
the ordinance. Contrary to expecta-
tions this will not end the controversy,
for the reason that the evidence intro
duced by the city in the persons Of the
women who had received goods showed
only that Wallace, the man under ar
rest, had delivered goods. Another
salesman had solicited the orders and it
yet remains to be decided in the trial
of Hoover, salesman for the Sinclair

Webster CITY Poultry Show.

Webster City, Jan. S.-Nearly 6oO
birds are now on exhibition at the
poultry show being held this week I'M
der the auspices Of the Webster City
Poultry association. The attendance
at the show today indicates an appre-
citation Of the public for the work of
the association in making this years
exhibition better by far than that of
last year. In, oil probability the pres
ent exhibition will eclipse any similar
show yet held or to be held in Iowa
this year.
Mr.. 1. K. Fetch, Of Boston, who is to
score the birds, began his work this
morning. The Webster City show is
the only Iowa exhibition to be scored

Sioux City, Jan. S.-The telephones
invasion of the rural districts in the last
two years, especially in northwestern
Iowa, has been remarkable. Some strik-
ing figures illustrating this are given
by the men who ask new telephone
franchise in Sioux City.
The rural telephone and rural mail
service have given the Iowa farmer
every advantage of living in the city
except the chance of being run over by
a street car or falling down an elevator
shaft. The up-to-d date farmer supplies
these sensations by getting in front of
the interurban trolley or falling off his
windmill platform.

country than in the towns, in many
