Considerable excitement was
aroused last Friday night about ten
o'clock by the news of serious
wreck on the Illinois Central near
Dubuque. Further reports, how
ever, developed the fact that a
freight train had run off the track
near Peosta and wrecked three cars.
The track was quickly cleared and
made ready for traffic by midnight.

y fyou find bad egg among the
dozen you ordered from your grocer
this morning you can have him ar
rested. This is the gist Of the ruling
made by the state dairy and food COM
missioner on the relation of the egg
business to the new pure food law.
The law prohibits the sale oroifering
for-sale of impure feod. - The COM
mission has decided after exhaustive
legal advice, that eggs are food. So
therefore, if sold they must be pure.
The farmers, the country shipper, the
jobber, the commission men and the
retailers in the cities, are all respon-
slble. The consumer is the man
protected under the new law If the
egg comes to him bad he has recourse
t relief from the grocer on the com.
mission man, ct cetera, back to the
hen. Elk.
The annual clearance sales at
the store of Burton Clark in this
city is an event looked forward to by
a large number of the ladies Of this
and adjoining counties. These sales
have always been largely patronized,
the patrons increasing from year to

ance sales, and at them every article
is sold at the price advertised. His
sale this year will begin on Monday,
December , and continue the entire
week, and the variety of the goods
on sale will be much larger than at
any of his previous clearance sales.
Some idea if the immensely and the
deep cuts from regular prices is
made known by his large advertise
ment on the 4th page Of this issue OF
the Democrat. to which the attention
of our lady readers is called.
