A Cure for Rheumatism.

Alhambra, Ill, Mar. 23rd:-Physicians are
mucn puzzled over the case of MI. r. J. o.
valid, OF this place. Mr.. Oswald suffered
much with Rheumatism and was treated bv
doctor after doctor with the result that he
got no better whatever. They seemed un-
ued to suffer till he heard of Dodd's Kidney
Pills. -
Mr.; Oswald began a treatment of this
remedy which very soon did for him what
the doctors had failed to do, and they cannot
understand it.
Inns is the same remedy that cured Hon.
Fred A.'Busse, our State Treasurer, of a
very severe case of Rheumatism some wears
ago, and which has since had an unbroken
record OF success in curing all forms of
Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble.
There seems to be no case of these Dain-
full diseases that Dodd's Kidney Pills will
not cure promptly and ~permanentlv.

The American Federation of Labor
Goes on Record.

Boston, Nov. 19.-After long de-
bate, chiefly noteworthy because of
the bitter language of President
Gompers in dealing with socialism,
the American Federation of Labor
yesterday defeated resolutions pledg-
ing it to socialism. Nine resolutions
presented by socialists and calling for
the adoption of their principles had
been reported upon unfavorably by
the committee on resolutions, and
delegates representing a voting
strength of 11,2S2 registered them
selves in support of the committees
recommendation, while 2,lS5 votes
were in favor of the resolutions.
All the leaders Oh both sides en-
gagged in the debate. just before the
vote was taken considerable excite
ment was caused by Delegate Carey's
condemnation of Vice President Dun
cans attack upon the socialists.
The climax. of the day came when
President Gompers, in bitter and un-
qualified language, scourged social
ism and what he claimed was an at
tempt to induce the convention to
adopt its principles.

AN AWFUL CRASH.
Trains Collide in a Deep Cut
Near fremont, Ill.
Thirty-Onc Wen Killed and 5 Others
Injured on the Big Four Road
One Boiler rExplodcs-wreck-
age Piled 80 Feet High
On the Tracks.

Peoria, ILL.,, Nov. 2O.-Thirty-one
men were killed and at least 10 in
jured in head-end collision between
freight train and work train on
the Big Four railroad between Mack
inaw and fremont Thursday after
noon. Bodies of 26 of the victims
nave been taken from the wreck,
which is piled 80 feet high on the
D. 'cks. Five bodies yet remain buried
unu >the huge pile of broken tim
ber, u. sted and distorted iron and
steel
All the dead and most of the in
jured were members of the work
train, the crews on both engines
jumping in time to save their lives.
The collision occurred in a deep cut,
at the beginning of a sharp curve,
neither train being visible to the
crew of the other until they were
within 50 feet of each other. The
engineers set the brakes, sounded
the whistles and then leaped from
their cabs, the two trains striking
with such force that the sound was
heard for miles.
\ second after the collision the
boiler of the work train engine eX-
ploded, throwing heavy iron bars
and splinters of wood 200 feet.
Conductor John w. Judge, of In
dianapolis, who had charge of the
freight train, received orders at Ur-
bana to wait at Mackinaw for the
work train, which was due there at
2:4O p. IN. Instead of doing this he
failed to stop. The engineer of the
work train, George Becker, had also
received orders to pass the freight
at Mackinaw and was on the way to
that station. The work train was
perhaps five minutes late and was
running at full speed. The collision
was witnessed by Russell Noonan,
farmers boy, IA years of age, who
FASTENED to a nearby house and tele-
phoned to fremont.
\ special train with four physicians
was made up in few minutes and
in less than half an hour was on the
scene. At the same time another
train arrived from Pekin bearing Su-
perintendent Barnard. of the Big
Four, and three physicians. The sec
ond train bore lot of rugs and these
were utilized to carry out the man
gled corpSeS of the victims.
After working two hours the re-
mains of 26 men were taken out.
was that of William Bailey, of Mack
inaw, who had been lifted 30 feet in
to the air and held in place by two
steel rails which had been pushed up
between the engine and the tender
of the work train.
The workmen had been engaged
in laying steel rails at different
points along the track and three of
the freight cars were heavily loaded.
The dead are residents of neighbor-
ing towns and the scenes about the
wreck last evening were beyond de-
scription. Wives and children of
men who were missing thronged
around, asking if their husbands or
fathers had been killed. Out of 35
men who constituted the crew of the
WORK train only four are living and
two of these are seriously injured.

Mary's
Thanksgiving
Proclamation
BY REV. JOHN T. FARIS

EDITORS NOTE This story is based on fact; IL Is
true SO far the two letters are concerned which
actually passed between little girl and governor.
The day before Thanksgiving, and Mary
Tolliver was sick. Poor Mary! How
she had looked forward to the annual
festival! For weeks she had count
ed the days. Grandpa and all the rest
had been invited for that day. And now
she was sick. She had tried to think
she was we'll when her head ached the
night before. But in the morning the
little face was flushed with fever, and
there was a family consultation. Then
the doctor was called in.
"Just little ague," the doctor said.
Mary knew what ague was; she had
had 1t before. but never at Thanksgiv-
ing time.
Can you get me we'll for tomorrow"
she asked.
I'm afraid not" the doctor answered,
with a kindly smile. You must be
quiet for few days. and maybe you can
have your Thanksgiving next week"
So word was sent to the relatives not
to come next day, as there would be no
Thanksgiving dinner at the Tolliver

the fever was all gone, and Mary was
very quiet.

Mother Tolliver asked.

Thanksgiving day next week, as DR..

"Oh, no! Mary" she was told mot till

us when to have Thanksgiving"
But Mary was not satisfied She
thought all d,y, and made her plans
Monday morning she asked if she
might write letter. Just my very
own" she said
Mother Tolliver gave leave very will
ingly. But 1t must be short" she added.
1t was a short letter which Mary
handed to her mother two hours later.
This is what she said:
Dear Governor: Please can we have an
other Thanksgiving Day, and have 1t next
Thursday? l was sick, and so Grandpa and
the others didn't come. and | could not eat
