KILLED IN A WRECK
EIGHTEEN PI RSOKS met H0RRI-
Bile DEATH.
Wreck Occurred Near Lincoln, Mass
Passenger Train Crashed Into Ac-
commodation Train-More Than 80
People njured-SignaIs Could Not
Be Seen-Wreck Took Fire.

Lincoln, Mass, 27.-Eighteen per-
sons were killed, 80 or more were seri-
ously injured, and probably score of
others cut and bruised in the most dis
astrous railroad wreck recorded in this
state for many years. The wreck
occurred at 8:15 o'clock at Bakers
Bridge station, mile and half west
of Lincoln, on the main line of the
Fitchburg division of the Boston &
Maine railroad. The regular Sunday
express which left Boston at 7:45
o'clock for Montreal by way of the
Rutland system, crashed into the rear
end of an accommodation train bound
for points on the Marlborough branch,
and which started from Boston at 7:15.
OF the dead, a dozen were passen-
gers in the two rear cars of the MARI
borough train. The other two were
Engineer Barnard, of the Montreal ex-
press, and his fireman. No passengers
on the express train were injured. OF
those who lost their lives, a numDer
were apparently instantly killed in the
collision, while others were either
burned to death or died from suffoca-
ton.
There were 13 persons taken from
the wreck and three died after being
removed. Three of the bodies were
headless. Two skulls were found at 2
a. M; and 20 minutes later a mans
head with full beard was picked up.
1t is difficult to fix the exact number
of those who persisted. but it is thought
it will not exceed IS.
4 The Dead.
A partial list of the dead is as fol
lows:
Eugene Barnard, engineer of the
Montreal train.

treal train.

European Breakfasts.

Mark Twain, in speaking of the ty-
pical European breakfasts, said: do
you know what I'll do? I'll nail a
piece of cuttle-fish bone to the chin
ney, and every morning I'll hop up
on the mantel and take a pick at it
with a tin bill. 1t will be just as filling
and much cheaper than a European
breakfast"
1t is evident that Mr.. Clemens pre-
fers the typical American breakfast
dish of Pillsbury's Vitos with good
cream and sugar.

PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE.
Inventor Says He Has Refused or
fer of $685., 900 Cash.

Arthur C. Rutzen, inventor of per
petual motion machine" says $1,000
1000 company, in which he will hold the
controlling interest, is being formed.
Rutzen said he had refused an offer
of S365,000 cash for his invention, and
that it was worth many times that
sum to the projectors. According to
the inventor, any horsepower can be
generated, the amount depending up
on the number of springs and their
installation in the machine. With a
box eight feet square, he said, he can
produce 300 horsepower, and the pow
er can be applied to automobiles, loco
motives or elevators at a greatly re
duced cost in all cases.

Atrocious Crime.

liams, aged 80 years, is under arrest
accused of killing his wife, four sons
and one daughter near Independence,

children's heads into a pulp with a

Just grievances

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 11.--Vice-
Admiral Birileff, minister of marine,
while admitting that deplorable state
of discomfort exists among the sailors,
attributes the Cronstadt mutiny large
ly to the influence OF the mutiny at
Libau. He freely admits, however,
that the sailors have many just griev-
ances, investigation having shown that
the government contractors have rob-
bed the government and furnished the
crews with food unfit to eat.
An independent Investigation seems
to confirm the report that navy Off
cials at Cronstadt acted disgracefully.
Most of them, instead of remaining
at their posts, fled for their lives from
the wrath of the sailors. When the
outbreak first occurred the commander
of the Seventh Equipage committed
suicide. .'-

the Slava, the mutiny is not yet COM

the mutineers to submission by starva-

NO AUTONOMY FOR POLAND
by Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 1.-THE
declaration of martial law throughout
Poland is evidence of the determine
ton OF the government to try and mir
in the bud the movement to regain the
autonomy which the kingdom of Poland
possessed under the constitution which
was suppressed after the revolution of
1858. The ease with which the Firms

PEELED the government to make COM
plete surrender, encouraged the Poles
to attempt a similar stroke, and the
government has received advices which
leave no doubt that a broad con
sptracy was organized to attain this
end. The leaders of the movement pro-
pose to adopt the tactics followed in
Finland.
The government will resist to the
utmost. Count Witte himself believes
that II the government is forced at this
Juncture to grant autonomy to Poland
1T might mark the beginning of the dis
memberment of the empire. The hope
OF the government is that the Poles are
striking too late. as the railroads
through Russia have resumed opera
lions and transportation of troops is
possible.
Nevertheless, the government would
be in quandary should the passive re-
sistance in Poland change to an armed
uprising. as it is a question whether
the government Is strong enough to at
tempt to suppress it by force. To
carry on a civil war in Poland now

Witte and his supporters are still al
most helpless but their collapse is by
no means certain. His attempt to secure
the cooperation of zemstvoites has
completely failed. Zemstvo leaders
have decided to defy equally Count
Witte and the reactionaries. Witte's
position in this way is between two
fires to a certain degree. adding to his
strength among the moderates, who are
beginning to realize he is the only safe
guard against anarchy and a general
massacre. He is taking full advantage
OF this and is especially seeking the
support of the disaffected element
among the army officers. He has al
ready been shrewd enough on the basis
of their support to take a stronger line
with the emperor. Witte. in a word, Is
now playing for the great stake of
control of the Russian empire.
In the meantime st. Petersburg is
almost in a panic of apprehension. The
resignation of General Trepoff as as
sistant minister Of the interior and gov
ernor general of st. Petersburg was

ton he received from the same revo-
lutionary committee which carried out
the assassination of Won Plehve.

An unconfirmed report was in circu-
lation late last night in the newspaper
offices that Cossacks had fired on a
crowd of roughs in suburb beyond
the Moscow gate, but this was later
authoritatively denied. Prince Lavoff,
the Moscow zemstvoist and one of the
leaders of the constitutional Demo-
Gratis, has issued reassuring announce
ment declaring that the rumors of or
ganized "Black Hundreds" were en-
tlrely myths.
In an effort to pacify the country and
the strife Count Witte has enlisted the
aid of the church and the holy synod,
which is now under the direction of
Prince Alexis Obolensky, has issued an
which will be read in all of
the churches of the empire in place of
the usual Sunday sermon. 1t reminds
Russians that wrath and hatred often
change the nature of men and makes
them like wild beasts, forgetting the
laws of humanity and committing
crimes causing eternal remorse.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD
Al,o lev f.es on Il, ssme subI,et

We hear much nowadays about
health foods and hygienic living, about
vegetarianism, and many other fads
along the same line.
restaurants may be found in the
larger cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank is
in his glory and arguments and the
ories galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomachs, and almost make us believe
that our sturdy ancestors, who lived
four score years in robust health on
roast beef, pork and mutton, must have
been grossly ignorant of the laws Of
health.
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acorns
A healthy appetite and common
sense are excellent guides to follow In
matters Of diet, and mixed diet of
grains, fruits and meats is undoubted-
ly the best.
As compared with grains and veg
etables. meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in a highly concentrated form
and Is digested and assimilated more
quickly than vegetables or grains
Dr. Julius Remmson, on this sub
ject, says: Nervous persons, people
run down in health and Of low vitality
should eat meat and plenty of 1t. If
the digestion is too feeble at first it
may be easily corrected by the regular
use of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal. Two of these excellent
tablets taken after dinner will digest
several thousand grains of meat, eggs
or other animal food in three hours,
and no matter how weak the stomach
may be, no trouble will be experienced
If a regular practice is made of using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they supply the pepsin and diastase
necessary to perfect digestion, and
every form of digestion will be over
come by their use.
That large class Of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure
its proper digestion by the daily use of
a safe, harmless digestive medicine like
Dyspepsia Tablets. composed
of the natural digestive principles pep
sin diastase fruit acids and salts.
which actually perform the work of di-
gestion. Cheap cathartic medicines,
under the name of dys-
pepsia cures, are useless for indi-
gestion, as they have absolutely no 4
effect upon the actual digestion of
food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is |
simply failure Of the stomach to di- |
gest food, and the sensible way to |
solve the riddle and cure the dyspep-
sia is to make daily use at meal time |
Of a preparation like Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets, which is indorsed by the J
medical profession and known to con-
am active digestive principles.
