UnIque-contInuous Vaudeville.

There are no stellar attractions at the
Unique theater this week, but most Of the
acts are we'll up to the average ana are
well received.
The Floods probably have the most in
teresting number and their balancing feats
are good. The trained dog that helps fill
out the act is the most popular member
of the trio and wins his share of the ap-
plause. Crawford and Duff. a small man
and a large woman, have a slow number
that could be improved by use of the blue
pencil. The Marriott twins do a novel
Juggling act tn which they twirl things
ranging from a, light hoop to a road
wagon. Hurley and Stevens, acrobats,
give well-rounded act and some of their
tricks are new and difficult. Their at
tempts to be funny, however, are over
done. -,,
Sam and Ida Kelley appear in a short
skit that is far from tiresome, and Irene
Mason, the little soloist, sings the illus
trated song. Bobby Carroll is amusing as
a. blackface comedian. The moving pic
lures show the inside workings of a nj
hilist organization in Russia and the
bomb throwing is realistic.

Horrible Railroad Wreck
Fifteen Persons Killed Out

and Many Others Injured.

Lincoln, Mass Nov. 26.-The
most disastrous railroad wreck
in this State for many years oc-
Cured at 8.15 O'Clock tonight at
Bakers Bridge station, mile
and a half west of Lincoln, on
the main line of the Fitchburg
division of the Boston & Main
Railroad. The regular Sunday
express, which left Boston at
7.45 o'clock for Montreal via
the Rutland system, crashed into
the rear of a local train which
started from Boston at 7.15 for
points the main line and the
Marlboro branch.
At least Is persons were kill
ed outright, burned to death or
suffocated, and 80 or more were
seriously injured. Many passen
gers sustained minor cuts, bruises
and burns.

a partly cooked dinner On the
stove and Mra McWIlliams and
the five children dead on the
hOOr.
Each person had been killed
with a hammer blow on the head.
Mrs. McWIlliams was atrociously
beaten, and a few knife thrusts
had been inflicted on the crushed
body.
In the woman's right arm lay
the corpse OF her three-year old
baby, it's hood. coat and mittens
on, and a piece of buttered bread
in one hand. The baby had
been killed by one blow of a
hammer on the head.
The other children lay about
the house, dressed in working
clothes. 1t is thought that the
mother and baby were killed first
and that then the children had
been called into the house one
at time and struck dead with
the hammer.

q few words to you IN reference

cotton fer higher prices. Let
me remind you that in every in

won a brilliant victory. The

ny unity of action and taking
the advice of the association, in

This slander upon the southern

government report on acreage.
When those that you intrusted
with your interest were con

Coffee Acts the Jonah and Will Come Up
A clergyman who pursues his noble
calling In q country parish in Iowa,
tells of his coffee experience:
MY wife and 1 used coffee regularly
for breakfast, frequently for dinner
and occasionally for supper-always
the very best quality-package coffee
never could find a place on our table.
I'm the spring Of 1866 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting which we
had great difficulty in stopping.
ut seemed to come from coffee
drinking, but we could not decide.
I'm the following July, however, she
was attacked a second time by the
vomiting. | was away from home fill
ing an appointment at the time, and
on my return | found her very low;
she had literally vomited herself al
most to death, and 1t took some days
to quiet the trouble and restore her
stomach.
Il had also experienced the same
trouble, but not so violently, and had
relieved it, each time, by a resort to
medicine.
But my wife's second attack salts
fled me that the use of coffee was at
the bottom Of our troubles, and so we
stopped it forthwith and took on Pos
tum Food Coffee. The old symptoms
of disease disappeared and during the
nine years that We have been using
Postum instead Of coffee we have
never had a recurrence of the vomit-
ing. We never weary Of Postum, to
which we know we owe our good
health. This is a simple statement Of
facts" Name given by Postum Com
