Probably Premeditated.
Iowa City, March 22.-Train wreck
ers were undoubtedly responsible for
the ditching of the westbound Rock
Island flyer at Homestead, twenty
miles west Of here at one o'clock yes
terday morning. Investigation subse-
quent to the wreck disclosed that one
rail had been wholly removed and
that all the spikes had been drawn
from another, though It had not been
taken up. Marks Of the draw mar
were traceable on the spikes, remoV.
ing all doubt as to the possibility OF
the wreck being attributable to ma
tural causes. Railroad detectives and
the local sheriff are cooperating In an
endeavor to secure some trace OF the
robbres. They were evidently fright
ened away as they did not show
themselves.
Fortunately, no one was fatally In
jured though the escape OF the Sixty
five passengers was nothing less than
miraculous. A visit to the scene OF
the wreck at daybreak disclosed the
train lying in heap at the bottom
of a thirty-foot embankment. 1t was
running at full speed, probably forty
five miles an hour, when the engine
left the track.
The injured:
A. c. Hotchkiss. Rock. Island, en-
gineer, hands and feet severely scald'
ed by escaping steam.
William Smith, Rock Island, fire
man, head and shoulders bruised IN
leap for life down embankment
w. Valleock, Chicago; porter, head
cut.
C. J. Pomeroy, Newton; mail clerk,
head cut. j.,
L. A. Weber, Council Bluffs; mail
clerk, head cut.
Mrs. L. Cross White. Sergeants,
Colo; arm cut and bruised.
The train consisted OF mail car,
baggage car, chair car, smoking car
observation car and three Pullmans.
The engine left the track first and
plowed along the ties for perhaps 3o0
fest, very materially reducing the
speed before it toppled over the high
embaakment. This delay enabled
the engineer and fireman to save their
lives by jumping and so reduced the
speed as to save the passengers from
serious INJURY. The engine turned
completely ever and stood on its head.
The baggage Snd mail cars were COM
pletely demolished. All the other
cars left the track with the exception
of the observation car which was at.
tached to the rear. 1t seems almost
incredible that more passengers were
not killed as the chair car and Pull
mans rolled down the embankment.

.SCIATIC TORTURE

For Six Months He Could Not Turn In
Bed-He Tells of Remedy Which
Has Given Perfect Relief.
The case of Mr.. Marston shows that
Iciatica can be cured, and no one afflicted
by it should allow himself to be dis
heartened. He was first stricken about q
year ago, and for six months he suffered
pain which he thinks the most intense
that any man could possibly stand.
Asked about the details of his remark
able recovery, Mr.. Marston gave the fol-
lowing account: "1was attacked by a
numbness or dull feeling just back of my
right hip. didn' t know what the mat
ter was, but thought it was simply
stiffness that would wear away in a
short time. It didn't, however, and
soon the pain became SO very bad that
Grery step was torture for me. When I
finally succeeded in getting home, it was
Just as much as could do to reach my
room and get to bed.
ssThe doctor was sent for, and when he
had examined me he said had sciatica.
He prescribed for me, and advised me not
to try to leave my bed. The advice was
unnecessary for couldn't get out OF
bed if I wanted to. It was impossible for
me to turn from one side to the other.
The moment I attempted to move any
part Of my body, the pain became so ex-
circulating that would have to lie per-
1ectly motionless.
i suffered this torture for six months
without getting any relief. Then I dis
charged the doctor, and on the advice Of
. friend bought box of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and began to take them, three
at a dose, three times a day. Twas de-
termined to give them thorough trial.
"Two months after began to use
them I was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house, and month later
/ was entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual. I think DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are the best medicine ever
nsed, and 7 heartily recommend them to
anyone who suffers from sciatica."

Waterloo, March 24.-Marriage to
the celebrated French pianists, Mad
anne Eugene De Lafayette, is what
healed the love wounds of George w.
Bowder, plaintiff in a sensational
breach OF promise suit against Mrs. q.
H. Curtiss.
Bowder was to have married Mrs
Hartman last winter. Instead she
married E. H. Curtiss, a Waverly
man, within day of the time she was
to have married Bowder. He brought
suit for s1s,500, claiming $4,000 for
breach of promise and the balance for
money expended upon her in flowers,
furniture, candy, etc.
Saturday the case was dismissed in
court here on motion of Bowder. The
reason for the dismissal developed
yesterday when the wedding of Bow
der to Madame De Lafayette was an
nounced. The marriage occurred in
Chicago, December 8, within few
weeks after his breach of promise suit
was brought. Many women condoled
Win Bowder over his lost love and he
had dozens of offers of marriage.
