ling on a second freight train.
Because the first train had blocked
the rightful track the excursion train
switched TO the southbound track TO
run for four miles until it should
have passed the station at Glenwood.
just north of Chicago Heights. AS it
tore along the track at the rate of
forty miles an hour it rounded d
sharp curve and came full upon the
second train, which was backing up
on the southbound track in order to
take up its lost cars and trying at the
same time to keep out of the way of
the coming picnic train, which it be-
lieved was on the northbound track.
There was no time for more than the
setting of the brakes. when, with un-
slackened speed, the train with its
load of 500 men, women and children
crashed into the freight. There was
a shock, d Shrek and more than
twenty souls were in enternity.

A FORTUNE IN A A
Tuber Raised by Scotchman and Sold
at High Price-Well-Named
the "Eldorado."

No potato ever gained so much
notoriety as Eldorado, raised by
the famous Scottish raiser Mr. A.
Findlay, of Markinch. The very
lame of the variety, says the Gar
deper's Magazine, was a stroke Of
genius, for it is hardly possible
that the raiser, or those who had
the good fortune to secure some
of the first tubers distributed,
could have imagined that in so
short a time it would change
hands at such enormously high
prices.
Mr.. George Massey, of Spalding,
was one of the very first to obtain
the stock, and from him Mr.. Zach
ariah Gray, a well-knOwn grower
at EvertOn, Sandy, purchased a
stone weight for EGO. This set the
ball rolling, and as Mr.. Findlay
resolved not to further distribute
EldOradO until the autumn Of
1904. the demand for the small
stock available was doubled and
trebled, and so the prices rose.
Messrs. Dennis, the COvent Gar
den statesmen, and Messrs. !. POad
& Sons, of York, possessed sup
plies, and the latter firm found n
purchaser of four pounds at ESQ
per pound. This determined them
to obtain further stock, and so at
the Smithfeld club show a mem.
Der of his firm found that Mr.. Mas
sey had a limited stock for dispos.
al and made him an offer of 1000
for a stone. Mr.. Massey refused.
as ne wanted f1,50O, but eventn.
ally the bargain was struck al
fL40O, TO the satisfaction Of both
parties. subsequently Mr.. Mas
sew sold a relatively small qHan
tity for $4,000, so that his origina'
transaction brought him 4 verJ
handsome FUtuPn.

the English idea of vigorous ex-
ciusiveness, its gates jealousy
guarded by a lodgekeeper.
The interior of the house is in
keeping with the atmosphere of
the park without, quite unlike
Edison. The reception-roOm was
utterly different from what l ex-
pected. The admirably draped
curtains, the tables and chairs ar
ranged with an eye to artistic eff
feet, were not of Edison's chOOs-
ing. He cares too little for the
luxuries of life. This was his
wife's work; it was all so WON

FAST RUN ACROSS STATE.
Iowa Central Will Make a Record
Breaking Trip With Theatrical

The Iowa Central operating and
passenger departments are preparing
for a record breaking trip across the
state, in carrying a special train out of
st. Paul to st. Louis. The train will
bear the members of the Dixie Grip
Company, a theatrical organization
now playing in St. Paul. The COM
pany closes its st, Paul engagement
Saturday night, and Is scheduled to
open Sunday in st. Louis. The train
will comprise three sleepers and two
baggage cars, and the time card is to
be cut almost in two in order to make
the trip in the necessarily short time.
1t is estimated that the trip across the
state will be between four and five
hours, as against between six and
seven, according to the regular sched-
ule.
Engineer T. c. Clegg. of this city.
has been selected to make the trip
with his engine, No. 45. His fireman
will be .Cap' Marshall. The conduc-
tor has not yet been chosen. but it is
likely that either f. NJ. Chapman or

is thought that the chances are IN ia
of Mr.. Van Draska, as his laY-over on

SENSIBLE WAY TO CURE CA.
TARRH.
Hyomei Medieates Air You Breathe
and Kills all Catarrhal Germs -
Costs Nothing Unless it Cures.

Costs Nothing Unless It Cures.
Do not take medicines in the
stomach to kill cararrhal germs in the
head and throat. Air alone can reach
these germs. Medicated with Hyo-
mel and breathed through the neat in
haler that comes with every outfit the
air goes to the most remote air cells
of the head, throat and lungs, and
completely destroys the disease germs.
Hyomei is the only sensible yet scien-
titic way to cure catarrh Other
remedies may fail; Hyomef will cure.
1t helps at once and you get the
yitalizing and invigorating effects from
the first few breaths of Hyomei. Ii
it should happen that Hyomei did not
give you the same good effects that
it has in many other cases right here
at home Mcbride & Will will refund
your money without question or argu-
ment. You will be the sole judge as to
whether Hyomei costs you penny or
not.
The complete outfit, consisting of
a medicine dropper and inhaler that
can be carried in the purse or vest
rocket and a bottle of Hyomei sells
for only one dollar. The inhaler will
last q lifetime and extra bottles of
Hyonei can be obtained, II needed, for
fifty cents.
When you get a Hyomei outfit Me-
Bride & Will will give you signed
receipt, agreeing to refund the money
in case 1t does not cure catalrh and
other diseases of the respiratory or
CARS. This is the strongest evidence
that they can offer as to their faith
IL Lsyomei--to pay for 1t themselves in
case it does not cure.
