HIS SUPERIOR.
Conductor Said to Have Thrashed
Trainmaster.
.Lamberton Scribe's Description Of
Lively Incident.
Is Alleged to Have Occurred Near
Here Recently.

Owing to the fact that there have
been a number of railroad wrecks over
the country the past few monts the new
assistant superintendent and the new
trainmaster on the Northwestern divi-
sion through Lamberton, endeavored
to do a little detective work of their
own in hopes of teaching the trainmen
on this division to be more careful in
running by switch signals.
We are reliably informed that the
said railway officials stopped off at
New Ulm one evening recently and
hired a livery rig at that place and
drove to Milford, the sidetrack just
west of that city, and just after dark,
shortly before freight train came
along going east, they removed the
switch lights at the siding to see what
the train men would do.
The train did not stop but when they
got to New Ulm the conductor report
ed the missing lights but the crew got
lacked up for not stopping and inves-
tigating why the said lights were out.
The crew informed some of the other
train boys SO the next evening when
another got near the siding they no.
ticed that the lights disappeared. The
train was stopped and search was
made to find out if possible the cause
of the lights going out.
The conductor, a husky fellow, spie6
a man near by standing in field anG
took after him and chased the fellow
until he caught him and was in the act
of giving him a thorough drubbing
when the fellow who was getting the
licking said: "Hold on, do you know
that you have hold of the trainmastel
of this road?"
The conductor replied IT dom
give Oh if you are the trainmaster
you deserve a good humping and
am going to give you one, because
anyone who will do as mean tricl
as that deserves to be punished, and
he went on with his thrashing. W.
havn't yet heard whether the conduc
tor was fired or promoted. -Lamberto1

charge and in perfect confidence, such
as Dr.. r. v. Pierce, the specialist In
woman's diseases at Buffalo, N. Y. Dr.
Pierce was early a student of plant life as
we'll as the human System aud he found
that certain herbs, roots aud barks made
into a tonic without the use of alcohol
or narcotics would cure the diseases
peculiar to women, this he called DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
I, The young girl or the matron at times
in her life Is weighted down by period
ical disabilities which become hard to
bear. What is needed is tonic for
the womanly system. During the past
thirty eight years this vegetable COM
pound of Doctor Pierce has sold more
largely than any other medicine intended
only for woman's diseases. Few women
in the United States have not heard of
its splendid remedial qualities, for it Is a
Prescription that can always be depended
upon when women suffer.

an authority on the diseases prevalent
among women, young and old, who says,
oif fresh air be excluded from the bed
room the sleeper is obliged to breathe
and :.rebreathe an atmosphere charged
withr4impurities thrown off from the
body and lungs. At this time of the
year people hover about the register or
stove, clothing themselves too warmly
and spending their time in the warmth
indoors, with the result that they become
tender and sensitive and are almost GER

marvellous power in Gods sunlight.
The young girl is like plant which If
set in a dark corner becomes scrawny
and struggles hard for existence, but If
put in the sunlight puts on more vlgor-
Gus growth. D DR., Pierce further says,
uof the patients in hospital ward, those
on the shady side never progress so well
as those on the sunny side. Thousands
of girls lose health and grow thin and
sick1ytbecause they live indoors. Fresh
air stimulates the blood ,%4for when we

blood takes up the oxygen, the pores OF

From the effects of these sicknesses he
seemed to recover slowly, and when
