Webster City, Nov. 19.-While orders
to hold the train in the Northwestern
yards in Webster City were laying on
the operators desk, this same train
which was an extra freight, rushed
southbound, thru town Wednesday
night shortly after midnight, the train
men all unconscious of the fact that
they were running exactly contrary to
orders and that another extra freight
was coming north with the expecta-
ton of meeting in this city.
What happened then?
The operator trainmen and all con-
nected with the road have their lucky
stars to thank that terrible wreck
did not happen and that several lives
were not wiped out in "a fearful crash
was a chance in a thousand and the
one chance won. 1t was an occasion
where q night operator missed train
order and no damage or fatalities re-
suited from the neglect. The only
thing that did happen was the install
lation of new night operator In the
Northwestern office in this city.
1t was night before last that the
slip took place. An extra freight left
Eagle Grove for the south. 1t was
headed for Des Moines. The night
operator in this city received orders to
hold this train in Webster City to
meet another extra coming north from
Jewell Junction The order concern
ing the running of these two trains
came along with several other orders
and this was probably the cause OF
it's being missed by the operator.
When the extra reached the city
1t was not stopped by the operator. IN
stead it was allowed to pull out for
the south and the operator then report
ed the train out of town to the dis
patcher's office at Eagle Grove I'M
mediately the message came back ask
ing about the train order which had
not been 20 KID by the operator.
was too late to do anything then.
There is no night operator at kamrar'
and nothing could be learned OF the
of the northbound train.
1t is safe to say that the operator at
the station in this city lived seVerai
wears the next hour. Expecting at
any time to get news over the wire OF
q terrible wreck south of this city he
watched the minutes slowly go by
The train dispatcher at Eagle Grove
had received word that the northbound
,xtra had left Jewell some time ago.
After what seemed years of waiting,
the night operator in the office here
heard the extra freight pull into town

ence with Cal-cura Solvent.
Dr., David Kennedy's Wonderful New Medicine
Cured Him Promptly. Your Money Back
II 1t Does Not Cure.

Constipation leads to worse. Often it is
the cause of appendicitis. Always it leads
to dangerous chronic disease 1t should
not be neglected, nor should it be tempor-
arily relieved with drastic purgatives Here
is a case in point:
Mr.. @. S. Osterhoudt, of Barrytown, N.
Y, was distressed with Indigestion, chronic
constipation and kidney trouble for four
years. He tried many medicines without
relief. He heard of Cal-cura Solvent, DIR.
Kennedy's aeet0 medicine, used it and began
to improve rapidly. All of his old COM
plants have disappeared and he owes
everything to Cal-cura Solvent.
If your druggist does not have Cal-cura
Solvent, write to the Cal-cura Company,
Rondout, N. y; but ask your druggist first.
$1.OO Il bottle. Only one size.
Guarantee: Your druggist will return
your money if Cal-cura fails to cure, and
The Cal-cura Company will pay the drug
gist. Remember, Cal-cura Solvent cures

Debutants,s Costume

soft, white, clinging goods known
as sicilienne, very popular this year.
is cleVerly used in a debutante's cos
tune. The corsage is arranged with
handkerchief yoke and bertha,
heavy lace being employed, and the
tucked sicilienne blCuses slightly into
the white silk crush belt of girdle
shape. The goods is tucked on the
shoulders and wherever else the lace
parts to show it. The sleeves also
are tucked to the elbows; the fullness
is allowed to puff and the lower part
OF the sleeve is of lace which matches
in kind the bertha and yoke A far
Ing cuff is the finishing feature of the
sleeve. The skirt falls in graceful
folds and shows considerable of a
train. In design the skirt offers a
striking novelty, being built in five
sections, the horizontal tucks con-
cealing the Jennings. Each section
has its own tucking which keeps the
skirt in complete harmony with the
tucked waist. The hip yoke is
shirred puff and the drop skirt has
several fiounces, the upper rufie be-
ing of chiffon and making a fluffy fin
ish for the pretty skirt. Naturally
nothing heavier than white silk and
chiffon should be allowed to go under
all this daintiness.
