Miss Nan Patterson was then
brought in. and Judge Davis asked the
jury if they had reached a decision.
They replied they had not Judge Da
points they wished. but the foreman
said that nothing was wanted. He adj
ded that some of the members Of the
jury were resolutely not open to con-
viction or reason. The judge then sent
them back. and Miss Patterson was ia
ken to the prisoners den. She looked
pale. and on the verge Of collapse. 1t

Passenger Train Ran Into Open Switch This Place
Monday Morning. Piing Up Few Thousand Dol
lars in Wreckage.
No Lives We're Lost, Although the Passengers and
Trainmen Received a Bad Shaking Up and
We're Somewhat Frightened.

That there seems TO have been a hoo
doc clinging TO the Pere Marquette rail-
road during the past few weeks there
can be no question, and the year 1904
has started out 10 rival the ending Of
the year 1908, although thus far no lives
have been sacrificed. only the property
of the road being destroyed.
Following close upon the terrible dis
aster at East Paris near Grand Rapids,
when two trains were nearly demolished
and % lives lost besides the number Of
injured, came a collision in the yards at
Saginaw between two freight trains, one
double header. in which two OF the
Monday morning, just four days after
the birth of the new year, an engine and
two freight cars were rendered nearly
useless by the morning passenger train
from Saginaw running into an open
switch just inside the yard limits near
the sugar factory, and almost on the
spot where Rudolph Walters met his
death by being struck by an evening
train some ten days ago.
The train was known as No. 81, and
was in charge OF Conductor Stickney.
The engineers name was Campbell and
the fireman was a man by the name of
Hawley, while in the baggage and mail
car were Mail Agent Zimmerman and
Baggsgeman Dempsey, with Brakeman
Richards assisting the conductor. The
train from the east approaches this cross
ing where the accident took place, at
high rate Of speed, but under it's own mo-
mentum, as there is quite down grade,
and not until nearly onto the switch did
the engineer have time to notice that
il was open. AS soon as he did so
he applied the air brakes and giving the
alarm to the fireman. both jumped and
escaped unhurt, but the train rushed in
to the siding, striking box car stand
ing only few car lengths from the
switch. This car was completely tele-
scoped and the one behind that was over
turned, the front end stove in and other
wise splintered up A loaded coal car
stood next and that was queered for inn
mediate business by the shock, part Of
the coal being emptied into another coal
car.
The engine was quite badly smashed
mp, although the wrecking crew succeed
ed in placing it upon its own wheels the
following day 80 that what remained |
could be towed into the repair shop.
The tender was also badly damaged and
the combination baggage and mail car
was turned partly over and off its trucks,
although not injured to any serious ex-
tent. Besides this car there were four
regular passenger cars and parlor car.
all loaded with passengers, many return
ing from their holiday vacations. That
not one of the passengers or train
crew was at all injured, is considered
very fortunate, slthough the fact that
the engineer had set the air brakes took
OFF the brunt Of the shock. However,
those in the smoking car were shook MP
sufficiently to make them imagine that

The Ionis Fatuus of Fame.

Somehow it seemed to James Cor

forever! How nimbly the lifting
phrases tumbled from his typewriter
keys. How pat they were! How sub

of a way he realized that he was Writ
ing the most beautiful pictures OF
modern times, that he was inscribing
the greatest thoughts since Shake
speare!
All! how the magazine editors
crowded about him applauding,
snatching up each leaf as 1t fell from
his touch! And how they quarreled
over the great stuff" like a pack OF
hungry coyotes over a chicken wing.

This was fame! How the critics
fawned at his feet! How the papers
printed his name in black display key
lines. And the nosegays, the scented
billet doux, the messages from rose
bud lips that came to him unasked!
Was this not worth all the strus'
gle, the denial, the hunger OF past
years?
And now he was great!
Great!
GREAT!
He felt of himself. Yes, 1t was him.

his greatness, but
Somebody was extending a million
dollars toward him on a bediamoned
platter!
He reached forth his hand greedily!
It came in contact with the wall
He awoke with a start! He looked
about him, startled and confused!
Yes, there was the soap box, the oil
stove, the burlap rug, the Oh, cruel
fate, the rejected poem of yesterday!
Then he got up sadly, cooked his bill
of dog-meat, donned his cellulold col
lar and placing the poem tenderly IN
his breast pocket, went out once more
into the cold and cruel mart to hawk
his literary wares!
"Ah, if that dream would only come

1WYY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by Or. Hartmann How
10 Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to
annmic nerve centers. The nerve CEN
tiers are the reservoir for nerve vitality.
These centers become bloodless for the
want of proper nutrition.
This condition is especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every sum-
mer an army of invalids are produced as
IL direct result of weak nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by tho
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve CEN
tiers. Perfectly digested food gives these
reservoirs of life a vitality which ere
ates strong. steady nerves, and in this
manner fortities and nourishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey, "a prominent young
society woman of Memphis, Tenn, in %
recent letter from TIA Alabama street,
writes: ITO society woman whose
nervous force is often taxed to the
utmost from lack of rest and irregular
meals, I know If nothing which is OF so
much benefit as Peruna. / took it q
few months ago when l felt my strength
giving way, and IL soon made ffsen
manifest in giving me new strength
and health. miss Blanche Grey.
Pe.ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
| it contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length of time without acquir-
ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is pcrma-
nent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There
are a multitude of homes where Peruna
has been used off and on for twenty
years Su.h a thing could not be pos.
sible if Peruna contained any drugs OF
narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we are
peculiarly liable to inflammations OF the
stomach and bowels. 1t is the part OF
wisdom to learn how to cut them short
and in the easist and quickest manner.
Peruna does this by its peculiar power
over all forms of catarrhal troubles.
