PICKED UP BLEEDING
Foreman of the Dry Docks Bad

Found in Hull of Barge Where He
Probably Fell Through Hatch.

Mr.. Dick Thomasson foreman OF
the Paducah Dry Docks Co., was this
morning seriously if not fatally in
jured in an accident on the dock, the
doctors being unable at present to as
certain the exact injuries done.
The foreman about 8 O'Clock went
down into the hull of big nine foot
model barge and several minutes later
was found at the bottom of the hull
with his head partially crushed and
his eide badly mashed. He was I'M

the accident after he had become par

him.

Freight Wreck Delays Trains
on Louisville Division.
No One Seriously Hurt-Two Wrecks
in Southern Illinois and
One Killed.
TROUBLE AT CALVERT CITY

A freight wreck at Iron Ore Hill,
near Kuttawa on the Louisville divis-
ion of the !. O., caused serious de-
lay to all south bound passengers
trains yesterday afternoon and caused
much damage to the railroad but for.
tunately injuring no one seriously.
The wreck occurred at . short time
after 2 o'clock by extra train No. 81
striking extra freight No. 628. Both
trains we've running south and the lat
ter was heading in first, running be-
hind the second section Of train No.
1856. The regular freight had become
stalled at the foot Of the hill and the
No. 62S had uncoupled and pushed the
train over. When il returned and
started up the hill the No. 81 came
along and crashed into il, derailing
the engine and wreoking the caboose
OF the No. 62s and also three empty
fat cars. The wrecker was sent out
from here and after several hours
work cleared the main line sufficient
ly TO enable the trains to come through
Passenger No. 1871 was delayed nearly
two hours and the No. 101 about half
an hour.
The No. 62S was in charge of Con-
ductor Fortner, and Engineer Rogers
and the 81 in charge Of Conductor K.
Welsh and Engineer Fortney. Engi.
neer Fortney jumped and sustained
slight bruises but is not seriously in
jured.
The fiagmsn who was on duty to flag
the No. 81 did not get far enough back
to stop the train which was coming
ahead full tilt to make the hill.
A fatal wreck occurred on the Illi
nois Central yesterday at Assumption,
Ill Fireman Charles Haskitt, Of
Clinton. was killed outright, his body
mangled almost beyond recognition,
and Engineer +. Metz, of Clinton, had
his right leg cut Off above the kuee.
His chances for recovery are doubtful.
The wreck was caused by . train on q
siding backing onto the main track in
front of an incoming train. The
engine and several cars were demol-
ished.
Engineer kid" Mathis pulling an
extra freight train bound for gravel
switch, struck . standing freight train
at Calvert City yesterday afternoon at
2:l5 and broke out drawhead. The

boose to gravel switch and bring back

Grasty and Fireman A. W. Smith were
slightly bruised in jumping.
A passenger train on the Illinois
Central ran into passenger coach Of
the mixed train at Galatia, Ill. The

TIE TIMER LOT.

We are asked what varieties of tim
Der a man should plant who wishes to
start ten acre timber lot upon prai-
RE farm. We do not know that the
following would be the best way, but
it is the one which we would adopt If
we were going to plant such grove.
In a word. the trees would be set out
eight feet apart each way. The trees
would be alternately of the hard and
soft wood varieties, the plan being to
remove all of the soft varieties as soon
as the hard wood trees needed the
ground. For soft wood we would plant
soft maple alone, this being far more
valuable wood and more easily worked
up than any of the other rapid growing
varieties of timber. For hard wood we
would plant largely of white ash, larch,
with some hard maple, blackberry and
black walnut. At the end of ten years
from time Of planting most of the soft
wood may be removed. and fine
grove of hard wood timber will occupy
the ground. If you want such grove.
keep the cattle out of it. The hogs
may be allowed to run in it. but should
not be fed or herded in it. We would
belt it on the outside with a row Of
Scotch Or white pine set sixteen feet
apart in the row and twenty-five feet
from the timber. Anyhow. don't plant
the grove wholly of box elder and cot
tonwood. for when you have such
grove you may have shelter belt, and
that Is about all.

NATURE RESTORES FERTILITY.

1t is interesting to watch the process
by which nature restores lost fertility
to the soil. If the conditions are not
too bad, she will speedily cover the sur
face Of the earth with either grass or
timber. These i'm their growth and de-
velopment. feeble at first. for lack Of
nutrition, gradually restore the lost hui
mus to the soil, the trees furnishing
leaves and decaying wood and the
grass the yearly decaying growth for
the same purpose. 1t is a slow process,
but one which works continuously to-
ward the restoration of fertility. Where
the soil is so poor that neither grass nor
trees will grow. nature will have some
form of crude vegetable life to accom-
plish in almost pathetic manner the
same end. 1t is worth noting that all Of
natures efforts in this direction are ac
cOmplished by living organisms and
that she never works with bare and
barren surface.

THE WINTER APPLE.

All through the west and northwest
the subject which creates the greatest
interest at the different horticultural
meetings is the development of hardy,
productive winter apple of good quail
ty New seedlings of not little prom
Use are coming to the front each year,
liberal premiums being offered for such
as promise the qualities desired. This
territory is now amply supplied with
varieties of excellent quality, unques-
tionable hardness and adaptability,
covering period from July until
Christmas. and really no new varieties
need be sought for this season. But the
apple which may be kept under Ordina-
ry cellar conditions until May is not
yet fully decided upon, if it exists at
all. Two varieties which possess this
keeping quality-the Malinda and the
Northwestern Greening-now take the
lead, the latter giving very much prom
Use of being the kind Of apple sought
for, with the exception that it seems to

WILL SEND $500 FREE
Franklin Miles, N. o., L. L. B., the Ceie-
brsted Chicago Specialist, Will Send
$500 Worth Of His New Special
Treatment Free to Each Of our
Readers,

When an experienced physician
offers to give away $40, 600 worth of a
New Treatment for diseases of the
heart, nerves, stomach or dropsy, it is
conclusive evidence that he has great
faith in it. And when hundreds of
prominent people freely testify to his
unusual skill and the superiority of
his New Special Treatment, his liber-
ality is certainly worthy of serious
consideration.
That DR.. Miles is one of the world S
most successful physicians is proven
by hundreds of testimonials from we'll
known people One patient cured
after failure of eleven Grand Rapids
physicians, two after being given up
by six and seven Chicago physicians,
another after nine leading doctors in
New York City, Philadelphia and
Chicago failed. 1000 testimonials sent
upon request.
The eminent Rev. w. Bell, d. D.,
of Dayton, o.. Gen. Sec'y of Foreign
Missions, writes editorially III The
State Sudnday School Union: "We
desire to state that from personal ac-
quaintance we know DIR. Miles to be
a most skillful specialist man who
has spared neither labor nor money to
keep himself abreast of the great ad-
vancement in medical science.
Mrs Lucy Temple, wife of the Just
ice of Peace of Lettis, Ia, was i'll foI
years from disease of the lungs, heart,
stomach, head and back, and was
culed by DR.. Miles New Special
Treatment She writes: 81 have
given birth to two children since treat
merit and my heart has not troubled
me. " Mrs. Laura Reed, of Bear
Grove, Ia, who had been treated foI
serious nervous trouble, writes to a
friend: "God bless DR.. Miles. Put
yourself in his hands. l think he
will cure you" Mrs. Alice Baxter,
of What Cheer, Ia, was treated by
Dr. Miles for nervous prostration and
poor circulation, and afterwards
stated, Especial Treatment helped me
wonderfully This new System OF
Special Treatment is thoroughly
scientific and immensely superior tC
the ordinary methods.
AS all afflicted readers may have
81. 90 worth of treatment free, we
would advise them to send for it al
