Queer Story Of Woman Who Fell into
CataIeptic Trance.
queer story comes from Portes'
near Valence, in the department Of
Gers, where an old maiden lady named
Clementine fell into cataleptic trance
so profound that her neighbors made
preparations for her interment.
Clementine was laid out in her best
dress; candles were lit and placed near
her, and crucifix and piece Of box
wood were placed at the foot of her
bed. The de Profundis" was being
lntoned by the priests. when suddenly
the dead woman sat up in the bed.
She looked wildly around her, and
then got down and walked round the
room. 1t is difficult to say whether
the deceased or the neighbors were
frightened the more, but Clementine
was SO panic-stricken that she leaped
out of the window and was killed.
On the following day invitations
were issued to another funeral, but
those who had been invited to the first
excused themselves on the plea that
their nerves were not equal to the oc-
casfon.-Paris Correspondence Phila-

DOCTORS COFFEE.

And His Daughter Matched Him.
Coffee drinking troubled the family
of a physician of Grafton, w. Va. who
describes the situation briefly:
Having suffered quite a while from
vertigo. palpitation of the heart and
many other arrangements of the ner-
vous system and finding no relief
from usual methods of treatment. I
thought to see how much there was in
the Postum argument against cof-
fee
$50 resorted to Postum, cutting
Off the coffee, and to my surprise and
satisfaction have found entire relief
from all my sufferings. proving con-
clusively the baneful effect of coffee
and the way to be rid of it.
Il have found Postum completely
takes the place of coffee in both flavor
and in taste. 1t is becoming more
popular every day with many of our
people and is having great demand
here.
my daughter. Mrs. Long, has been
a sufferer for long time from at
lacks of acute indigestion. By the
dismissal of coffee and using Postum
in it's place she has obtained COM
plete relief.
Il have also heard from many 9th
ers who have used your Postum very
favorable accounts of it's good effects.

fee in great many cases and I be-
lieve that upon it's merits Postum will

FAST FREIGHT CRASHES INTO
STATIONARY TRAIN NEAR
DYERsviLLE.
fire ADDS HORROR TO THE SCENE
VICTIMS LYING HELPLESS uN.
DER DEBRIS ARE SLOWLY
BURNED TO DEATH,

Waterloo, Iowa, Feb. 27.-At $3.50
last night occurred one of the worst
accidents in the history of the Chi
cago Great Western railroad IN Iowa
when a through freight train, running
at a speed of fifty miles an hour,
crashed into a switch engine attached
to the rear of string of sixt ycattle
cars near Dyersville, a small station
short distance from Waterloo.
Seven persons are known to have
lost their lives, and it is yet impossi-
Die to fully estimate the loss of life.
Several trainmen and travelling men
supposed to be aboard the trains are
reported missing and it is feared the
loss Of life will be much greater. Five
OF the dead are known to be promi-
nent stockmen, presumed to be resi-
dents of this section of Iowa. mas
much as the bodies were entirely con-
sumed in the flames, it will be impos-
Sible to identify them for hours yet.
Thought Track Clear.
The accident occurred on what is
known as the Farley HILL" just out
side the Dyersville station yards. A
switch engine was assisting the stock
train to clear the hill and was at
work on the main track, which was
believed to be clear. A through
freight running at terrific speed
rounded the curve just east of the
town, and before the engineer had an
opportunity to apply the air brakes
the two locomotives crashed together
with roar that was heard for miles
around
Instantly the mass of cars was
afire, and, above the kissing of steam,
the cries of the imprisoned men in
the caboose could plainly be heard by
those who ran to the rescue. It was
beyond human power to render the
men assistance, however, and, like
rats in trap, they slowly lost con-
seriousness and were cremated by the
lanes which swept all about them
Killed on the Instant.
The engine crew of the through
freight were instantly killed. Their
bodies were found lying far from the
wreckage, blackened and disigured.
The scene Immediately after the
brilliance and awe-inspiring destruc-
ton. Nearly one hundred loaded
freight and cattle cars were blazing
and the sky for miles around was
lighted by the flames consuming
thousands of dollors' worth of prop
erty. Horses, COWS and other stock
which succeeded in releasing them
selves from their awful condition
went wildly tearing across fields and
over fences, and hundreds of persons
stood in awe before the terrible con-
Hagration.
Most of the stock aboard the train,
the major portion of which was very
valuable and was en- route for the
East, was destroyed, entailing great
loss. It is impossible to place the
blame for the disaster.

Sparta, Wis, Feb. 26.-When No
So on the ST. Paul road was about half
mile from the station last night two
passenger coaches, the express car
and baggage car jumped the track
and were dragged over the ties for a
distance of 200 yards. The cars were
so badly damaged that they We e left
here for repairs. Fortunately this
section of the track is level, for had
it been a curve or turnpiked the cars
would have been ditched and many
lives might have been lost.
