STRUCK BY STREET CAR.
A.c. Nelson Has Narrow Escape From
Serious Injury.

A. G. Nelson, residing southeast OF
the city, had a narrow escape from
death last evening. He was all but
run over by the south end street car
in charge of Conductor Stringfellow
and Motorman HatcnItt. The usual
alarm was given. He intended board
ing the car at the. crossing Of the
Rock Island, but as the car approach
ed him he slipped and fell with his
legs across the track. The fender
caught him and pushed him along till
the car was stopped. 1t was a very
narrow escape for the man. Had the
fender failed to catch him he would
have been under the wheels. He
came to the city on the car and did
not seem badly hurt at the time.

RIDING ON PEGASUS.
Railroad Man On Delayed Train
Breaks Into Poetry.

An unusual thing occurred on the
Iowa Central a few days ago. Train
No. 80, south bound, the great through
stock express of the Central, was de-
layed and was badly off time. The
delay rather irritated the operating
department, for If there is n thing
more than another that brings worry
to the dispatcher, that thing is to
have No. 80 losing time. Conductor
Chas. Bargdell was in charge of the
train and he was doing all within his
power to8help matters along, but was
powerless under the circumstances.
The operator had sent Charles a
query as to what could be the trouble,
and nothing had been heard from him
for some little time. Then the unex'
pected happened. The freight traffic
service broke out into poetry. Now
this has always been the refuge OF
the passenger department heretofore,
and apologies to this branch Of the
service are duly made by the aggres'
sor.
Bargdell at last opened up and ex.
planned the situation to Chief Dis
patcher Mallory. The official was
first surprised as the telegram came
in. tick by tick, then astonished that
the freight department contained sucn
talent, and Of course he had to accept
the explanation. Here Is the mes
sage:
zone of SOS delays.
Engine "a is leaking bad;
The engineer looks cheerful,
But the fireman is mad.
Head brakeman too new to realize our
fate,
That the stock express is 3h hours
late.
Thirty minutes at Clifford,
Blowing up the old mill
And filing her with water
To take US UP Liscomb hill.
Bargdell."
M. S. Please don't copy.
The matter has been taken up with
the operating department and the
promotion Of Bargdell to the passen-
ger service Is likely most any time.

MAHAsKA
Farmer Near New Sharon Feeds the
Snow-Bound Passengers.

Marshalltown Times-Republican:
An interesting incident of the blizzard
is told by Iowa Central passengers
who were prisoners for twenty-four
hours on a train that got buried in a
snowdrift near New Sharon. Three
engines had started out to relieve the
stalled train, but were unable to reach
it and the passengers were compelled
to remain all night in the coach. For
tunately there was surlcient coal in
the tender to keep the coach supplied
with steam and the passengers did not
suffer from the cold. They were,h how
ever, short on provisions. There
were thirty passengers on the train
besides the train crew. Early in the
morning a good hearted farmer living
half a mile from the place where the
train was stuck saw the predicament
of the train and managed to break
through the drifts and invited the
whole outfit on the train yer to the
house for breakfast. His invitation
was accepted and those who partook
of his hospitality say it was one of
the heartiest and best meals they ev-
er ate. Forty were served by the
farmer and his good wife. Among
the passengers was a theatrical troupe
and after breakfast they gave an i'm.
promptu entertainment for the benefit
of the stranded guests. For three
hours the passengers were entertain
ed at the farmers residence. Al
though they offered to pay the farmer
and his wife absolutely refused to
accept anything for their hospitality.

Why Not Try This Plan

Why would it not be a good plan
for the merchants of Klmball to fol-
low the plan here outlined. An ex-
change in referring to the plan says:
The business men of a certain town
get together every Saturday and offer
So to The farmer who drives the great
est distance to the town on business.
He must be a farmer and must come
on business. He must market some
produce of the farm or he must come
and do some trading-either buy some
hardware or general merchandise, get
Il shave or %patrunlze the newspaper.
He must prove c~onclusively the dis
tonce lie came and the farmer making
the longest trip gets the purse. 1t has
proven a great drawing card for the
town and men come With their fami-
lies 45 miles.

light Holiday Trade

DeSmct Independent: Our merchants
are complaining that the holiday
trade has been very light this seas m,
and the same report comes from near
ly all the towns in this section. There
are different reasons given for such an
unsatisfactory condition. Some hold
that the short wheat crop has had
largely to do with IT.. Others think
the CAPITAL campaign and the worlds
fair are mostly the cause We be-
lieve the latter to be responsible At
least half the families in this section
Of the state sent one or more respre-
sentatives to either Pierre or Mitchell
while many others ira seled to differ
ent points on visits to friends because
transportation was free. IT costs
money to travel even if the railroad
fare costs nothing. We believe s25,-
900 to be only a reasonable estimate Of
the cost to our people because of the
capital campaign. The WORLDS fair
probably took another $4,000 out of
this county,. These amounts were
taken out Of what would ordinarily
have gone into the winter and holiday
trade. The money was not spent for
necessities but would have been most
ly expended for luXuries of life had it
not been for those two things.
