Henry Koehler. of Chicago, who is
looking after some business on the
west Iowa division for the department
of expenditures, boarded the train at
Creston. Mr.. johnson was on his
way to Villisca to attend tosl some
company business and gives a most
graphic account Of his sensations,
which is partly as follows:
II was in the smoker, and there
were only few passengers in this
car. The first intimation we had of
trouble was when the car left the
rails and ran along on the ties. This
caused a most Violent jolting and
each person in the coach seemed in
stantly to realize that catastrophe
was about to take place. The coach
careened and swayed from side to
side. I grasped the arms of my seat
and held on for dear life. 1t seemed
several minutes before this ceased
and then water commenced to trickle
down one side of the interior of the
car and some one shouted, We are in
the river A young man near me rose
from his seat and turned deathly pale
and seemed about to faint I pushed
him down into his seat and quieted
him. We now left the car Back of
us was the day coach in which most
of the Devils Auction people WERE
The women were on the verge of a
panic for a short time and one woman
had pushed her hand and arm through
a window. But they were soon quieted
and when the work Of rescue COM
menced two or three of the women OF
the company proved real heroines, and
did wonderfully effective work III

such appliances as were available
This is my first wreck. but one is
plenty for me. I have not the least
desire to repeat the experience"
Delayed Traffic.
All trains were badly delayed Sun
day before the accident and that calam.
ity added to the troubles of the oper-
ating department. 1t was necessary to
get the coaches back on the track be.
fore the tank and baggage car could
be reached by the wrecking crew.
With the thermometer at "a below
zero the men had a fearful task and
it was nearly morning before the main
line was open for traffic.

BEWARE OF SUMNER GERMS.
Will Cause Sickness Unless Stomach Is
Strengthened With Mi-O-na.

If the stomach is weak so that food
does not readily digest in it, the food
will become a sour, shiny, fermenting
mass in the digestive organs, the ideal
condition for germs to cause bowel
trouble, diarrhoea, or other summer
illness.
The well known Mi-o.na will make
the whole digestive system so healthy,
clean and sweet that food cannot
ferment, and any disease germs which
may enter the stomach will be de-
stroyed.
Just one small tablet out of so
cent box Ct Mi-o-na before eating,
and you will have no headaches, back
ache, poor appetite, distress after
eating, heart. burn, furred tongue,
sleeplessuess or general debility. 1t
will tone up the digestive system and
give perfect health and strength.
Take Mi-o-na now, and Reinhart s
Pharmacy will guarantee to refund
the money if it does not cure. The
risk is all his.

Good Paints
Pay Dividends.

Paint is as important on house
as insurance. Fires and cyclones
are rare. but the wear of wind and
weather is sure and constant.
Wood and other building materi-
al last indefinitely if protected by
paint. Besides, paint improves the
appearance and increases the value
of any building. There are many
reasons why
