house by crawling through the weeds
during an interval in which the negro
was engaged in prayer. He was
discovered blythe negro when within
about twenty yards of the house
and was promptly fired upon the con-
tents of the gun taking effect in his
head tearing it nearly off.
At this juncture determined at
tempts were made to set the house
on fire. Wads of cotton soaked in
coal oil and attached to weight
were lighted and thrown at the
house. This was continued for
three hours without the desired
result. Finally a man emerged
from the crowd, crawled up to
the building, keeping himself out
of the sight of the desperate negro,
and lightened fire under the cor

and in shot time the entire house
was a sheet of fire. The window at
which the negro had all along made
his stand was shrouded in dense
mass of smoke, but in this the gaze
of the 300 men with drawn guns was
revited. Suddenly the negro
emerged from the smoke, gun in
hand, running lamely toward the
woods. In quick succession numer-
Gus shots rang out, probably 200 of
them, and the negro fell to the
ground. Most of the shots went wild
but probably twenty took effect.

and was thrown thirty feet from his
engine, suffering many severe bruis-
es but no broken bones.
Conductor Turney saw the engi-
neer jump and he followed suit, but
did not clear the train, and he was
caught under the engine. He was
pinned down though not seriously
hurt and the escaping steam from
the engine slowly cooked him to
death. When he was taken out the
flesh dropped from his bones.
Engineer English, of the local and
his fireman were both caught under
their engine and were crushed to
death. Foster Bell, the fireman on
the fast freight, was thrown from
his engine and was caught under
some timbers from a freight car.
He lived for twenty minutes, and
died just before his body was taken
out. He begged the men who were
chopping on the timber to work
faster, as he said he wanted to see
his wife a moment before he died.
His prayers were not answered and
the girl he married month ago was
never to see him again alive.
The wreck presented a most re-
markable sight. On top of one the
engines was thrown a car loaded
with hogs, many of which were kill
ed by the steam, besides being crush
ed in the wreck. The other engine
plowed into carload of cattle,
belonging to N. E. Crenshaw. Mr..
Crenshaw was in the car with his
cattle at the time and was thrown
among them. His leg was broken
and piece of flesh was torn out of
his arm.
Every car of both trains was
thrown from the track. Most of
them were ruined and all suffered
serious damage. They were piled
up to the height of more than twen-

slant.

One of the most destructive rail-
road wrecks that has ever occurred
in the county occurred between
McHenry and Echols last Thursday
late in the afternoon, bare mention
of which appeared in The REPUBLI-
CAN last week. 1t was of such gil
gantic proportions that a detailed ac-
count of it will no doubt be of deep
interest to many of our readers even
thought it has been a week since its
occurrence.
The engines of both trains were
smashed into scrap iron, a number
of freight cars were destroyed and
the track was piled with debris and
torn up for hundred yards or more.
1t was one of the worst wrecks that
has ever been known on the road.
The local freight, running between
Cecilia and Central City had orders
to wait at McHenry for the fast
freight.
The engineer and conductor over
looked their order and left McHenry.
At the Southland farm. two miles
below McHenry there is sharp
curve, with a hill intervening between
two straight stretches of track. 1t
was upon this curve that the crash
came. Wallace Yates. engineer of
the fast freight. was the only man
who saw the danger. He jumped

CRAZY NEGROES DEEDS,
Deputy Sheriff's Head Shot
Off, Seven Others Wounded.
\ House In Which he Was Secreted
Burned and Body Riddled
With Bullets.

Bob Shaw, a negro maniac, of
'Lewisport, Hancock county, shot and
killed a deputy sheriff and wounded
seven other members of sheriff s
posse that was attempting to dislodge
aim last Monday afternoon from a
dwelling house in which he had TAX
en- refuge on the day before and
from which he had defed all at
tempts to capture him or approaches
to the house for two days. The
house was finally set on fire and the
negro shot to death when he attempt
ed to escape from the burning
wreck.
'Shaws crusade began last Sunday
morning when he shouldered his
double barrel shot gun and started
out. He was known to be of a
very religious turn and his wife call
ed his attention to the fact that it
was Sunday and he should not go
out with his gun. He threatened to
kill her and drove her away and pro-
ceeded to a neighbours house where
he drew his gun and threatened to
shoot those he saw. After much
pcrsuasion, however, he left with the
words 81 am going to kill some
body" Authorities here notified and

first on the poarch then retiring to the
adjoining room where he was heard
often in prayer.

W., Washington, ID. c., as follows:

spring a sickening case of cstarrh which

INFANT HOUSEBREAKER.
Nine Year Old Boy Found Guilty
of Stealing and Sent to
House of Reform.

One of the most remarkable cases of
HOUSEKEEPING perhaps that has even
occurred in Ohio county was brought
to the attention of the grand jury at
the present term of court. Amos
Wallace. the nine year old son of
Hardin Wallace who lives about
four miles South of Beaver Dam,
was the offender. The proof show
ed that the little fellow had entered
the residence of Ozna Shultz and
taken watch, piece of ham of
meat and other articles of minor
Importance.
The offense was committed several
days ago but owing to the boys ten
der years nothing was done in the
matter until the this week. The grand
Jury recommended that the boy be
sent to the House of Reform and on
hearing of the matter Judge
Birkhead entered an order in accord
ance to the recommendation, and
Sheriff Cal P. Keown left Wednes-
day at noon with the little fellow
for the Reform School where he will
be confined for nine years.

Conductor Blackjack, of the local
freight, was the only trainman who
escaped uninjured. He was sitting
in the caboose of his train, talking
to two drummers who had taken pas
sage from McHenry to Central City.
He was thrown to the floor, but was
not hurt.
Within few very minutes the news
of the wreck reached McHenry and
half the town turned out. When
they reached the scene twenty or
thirty farmers had already gathered
having heard the crash and roar that
told the story for more than a mile.
Others gathered in from all parts of
the surroundings neighborhood.
The four injured men were quickly
attended by the physicians, and in
two hours the bodies were all taken
out.
Wrecking trains were sent out at
once from Cecilia and Central City,
so that work on the wreck commenc-
ed at both ends. The two crews
were busy from 7 o'clock in the even
ing until Z the next morning, when the
! last rail was relaid and the first train
passed over the road.

Spring Cafarrh.
VOL. XVII.

Almost every one has come TO believe
that spring is a season that brings de-
engagements of the body dependent on
blood impurities.
This belief is an old one, is nearly uni
versal, and has arisen, not as the result
OF the teachings of the medical frater-
nifty, but has been learned in the bitter
school Of experience.

cines more effective.
A short course of Peruna, assisted by
the balmy air Of spring, will cure old,
stubborn cases of catarrh that have re-
sisted treatment for years.
A Word Of Advice.
To those who have been afflicted with
chronic catarrh we wish TO say that the
spring season affords you a splendid OPP
portunity to get rid of your disease.
1t may be you have been afflicted for
several years; you may have tried diff
ferent remedies. Perhaps you have be-
come discouraged.
Now Is Your Opportunity.
This failure was during the winter
months. But now is your opportunity.
Nature comes to your assistance at this
season.
Just help her . little and she will
bring you out of the quagmire in which
you have been fioundering 30 long. Give
Nature little assistance lest her strug-
giles be in vain.

LOCAL LUTHER BURBANK.
New Yorker Who Emulates the Ex- ample of the California
 Wizard.

T am now experimenting with Jap- anese vegetable in my country place, ? said the prosperous commuter, accord ing to the New York Herald, "and ex- pect that 1t will prove to be a new salad to tempt fastidious American palates. Nor am alone in this belief, for the seeds of the udo plant were presented to, me by scientific agriculturists who have noted it's popularity in Japan and it's many good qualities. have reason to believe that Luther Bufbank, the California wizard. is on the same trail.
 The result so far obtained in my cul- tivation of the moyashi udo is already tempting me to think of exploiting it on a large scale as soon as can find a good descriptive name for it. This exploita- tion cannot be monopolized and advise truck gardeners to investigate its merits.
 Moyashi udo is now grown in many conservatories as an ornamental plant, and many bons vivants may be surprised to know that in 1t they have an oriental vegetable that surpasses asparagus, celery or lettuce as table delicacy, and in fact 1t seems to be successful com bination of all three.
 'The udo salad has the delightful crispness of celery. flavor between pineapple and lettuce, and the appear ance of asparagus. When served it is absolutely without fiber, white as snow and with an appearance like to fiossy silk. So tasty is it that have to stand guard over my udo patch in order to prevent my wife from devastating 1t in order to garnish the table.
 However, I'm sure that it's popular ity could rest on the sole fact that it natures in winter time, although even at this season my moyashi udo is very palatable.
 T wonder if we're going to feel the 'yeller peril in the vegetable line? I'm unpatriotie enough to hope so."

ON GOOD BEHAVIOR.
Judge Lowe Heard an Important
 Case To-Day.

Judge Lowe to-day heard Mrs Eliza beth Skidmore's petition for the ap- pOintment of q conservator over her son. Levi, which was represented by Judge Cowell. It was rather a formal matter and at times Skidmore tackled Judge Cowell.
 ''Aou know, judge" said he, that I started in the world with little or nothing. And you know that all that 1 have now I owe it to no one but my self. Isn't it so that I started with 15 cents peddling matches and now I have s7,000, every cent of it earned by my own handsF'
 Judge Cowell admitted that this might be so, but of late Skidmore was not doing right by his mother. If Skidmore has $7,000 back of his name it gave him no grounds for presuming that he had S30.000, contended Judge Cowell, and that the best investment he could make with it was to put 1t into automobiles.
 Judge Lowe after hearing the 'evi- dence put Skidmore on his good be- hayior for two weeks.
