not get better. / stopped their medicine

left their homes.
Heavy damage is reported through
out Kansas, from Abilene, Arkansas
City, Ottawa and Lawrence, where
the Smoky Hill, the Solomon, the
Walnut and the Marais Des Cygnes
rivers are rising at the rate of two
inches per huur. The damage to
crops will be enormous.
Topeka, Kan, July S.-The Kaw
river is above the 22-foot mark and
rising slowly. In North Topeka the
water is running through the princi-
pal streets knee deep and the town is
deserted!
Wichita, Kan. July S.-Wichita is

A BACK LICK
Settled the Case with Her.

Many great discoveries have been
made by accident and things better than
gold mines have been found in this way
for example when even the accidental
discovery that coffee is the real cause OF
ones sickness proves of most tremen-
dous value because it locates the cause
and the person has then chance to get
we'll.
For over 25 years." says Missouri
woman, Il suffered untold agonies inmy
stomach and even the best physicians
disagreed as to the cause without giving
me any permanent help, different ones
saying it was gastritis, Indigestion, neu-
ralgia, etc., SO | dragged along from
year to year, always half sick, until
finally gave up all hopes of ever being
we'll again.
when taking dinner with friend
one day she said she had a new drink
which turned out to be Postum and
liked it so we'll | told her | thought /
would stop coffee for awhile and use it,
which did.
so for three months we had Postum
in place of coffee without ever having
one of my old spells but was always
healthy and vigorous instead.
Husband kept saying he was con-
vinced it was coffee that caused those
spells, but even then ! wouldn't believe
1t until one day we got out of Postum
and as we lived two miles from town
thought to use the coffee we had in the
house.
"The result of weeks use of coffee
again was that had another terrible
spell of agony and distress proving that
1t was the coffee and nothing else. That
settled it and said good bye to Coffee
forever and since then Postum alone has
been our hot mealtime drink.
"My friends all say l am LOOKING
worlds better and my complexion is
much improved. All the other members
of our family have been benefited, too
by Postum in place Of the old drink cof-
fee." Name given by Postum Co., Bat
tie Creek, Mich.
Ten days trial of Postum in place o,
coffee or tea is the wise thing for every
coffee drinlSer. Such a trial tells the ex-
act truth often where coffee is not sus.
pected.

WRECK ON THE ERIE RAILROAD
SEVENTEEN PEOPLE KILLED
AND FIFTY INJURED.
Two Passenger Trains coIlided at
Midvale, N. J.-0perator in
Tower Is Blamed for
the Accident.

New York, July 11.-Seventeen per-
sons were killed and about SO injured
in collision which occurred at Mid
vale. N. j., just before noon Sunday,
when regular passenger train on the
Greenwood Lake branch of the Erie
railroad ran into an excursion train
that had stopped to take water. All
the dead and injured lived in Ho-
boken, Jersey City and New York.
The accident is believed to have re-
suited from tower operator having
lowered his signal too soon, and this
is admitted by ID. w. Cooke, general
passenger agent of the Erie railroad,
who gave out statement in which he
said.
"The operator in the tower failed
to set the block signal against the
train which was following. The car
destroyed was occupied by number
of the Plattdeutch Verein. The train
consisted of IL cars and two engines.
The first engine had taken water and
the train had moved up and stopped
with the second engine beside the
tank when the regular train drew
near. The flagman of the special
train signalled the engineer of the
oncoming train, but owing 20 a curve
in the road his flag was not seen until
too late.
The killed and injured were in the
last two cars. The wreckage did not
catch fire and the work of taking out
the dead and MANNED was accomplish
ed quickly. The passengers from the
uninjured coaches joined in the work.
The IL dead were soon laid beside
the track and the injured were car
ried to nearby houses.
While physicians were being sent
for, women of Midvale brought band
ages and other articles that could be
used in caring for the injured.
An engine and cars were sent from
Little Falls to the scene of the wreck
and as rapidly as possible the most
seriously hurt were prepared for
transportation by train to Little Falls
and thence to Jersey City or Hoboken.
The less severely hurt were continued
under treatment in Midvale until later
in the day. All those hurt were even
tually taken either to their homes or
to hospitals.
The engineer and fireman Of the
regular train disappeared from the
scene just after the accident. They
both escaped injury by jumping.
The operator in the tower was Wal
ter Richards. He would make no
statement and was relieved and left
the scene soon after the accident.

a Detective Secures Proof that a
Train Robber Killed in Colorado
was the Notorious Kid Curry.
Knoxville, Tenn, July 11.-Lowell
F. Spence, a detective employed by a
Chicago agency, has returned to that
city after securing local Identified
tions of two pictures which he had in
his possession supposed to be photo
graphs of the famous Montana bandit
and train robber, Harvey Logan, alias
Kid Curry.
Early On the morning of June 8 a
gang held up Denver G. Rio Grande
train near Parachute, Col, but after
blowing two safes and shooting one
railroad employe they secured only
$40. A posse was at once organized
and chase given. In the chase one of
the bandits was shot from his horse
by a cowboy and as soon as he fell
was seen to shoot himself through the
head. Pictures were taken of the
dead man. Believing the photos to be
those of Logan, Spence came here to
identify the bandit through officials of
the Jail where Logan had been con.
fined for more than year.
Sheriff Fox, from whom Logan es-
capped, positively identified the photos
as those of Logan. So did Jailer
Thomas Bell, whom Logan held up
at the point of pistol while escaping
from jail. The outstanding reward
for the bandit is variously estimated
at between $4,000 and 100000.

SUSPENDERS AND SUSPENSE
What Uncle Sam Needs the Former
For as Stated by Hating
Speaker.

A certain congressman from mountains
district, says the New York Sun, is trou-
bled with weak, sQueaky little voice,
which sometimes fails in the midst OF
what might otherwise be an eloquent per-
grafton.
Recently in addressing the house on a
matter connected with tariff, he ex-
claimed:
why, tariffs are like pair of suspen-
ders, sometimes tight and sometimes loose;
but Uncle Sam needs them Just the same,
to keep up his"
Here the congressman's voice struck a
high treble note, hared and stopped.
The house held its breath while he
cleared his throat The suspense, which
seemed to last for fully a minute, was
more painful to the auditors than to the
orator, for everyone was wondering
whether he would say trousers or
pants" and some were even hoping that
he might say "pantaloons." Even over.
alIs would be better than pants" for
pants is most unparliamentary.
But all fears were without foundation.
He cleared his throat with the greatest
care, and in deathlike stiffness resumed
his Grafton where he had dropped it: Ito
keep up his running expenses"
The words which followed were lost
forever IN u gale of laughter.
People who sit in their houses and run the
business of the world are now planning cam
paigns for Russia and for Japan. One is
