fatigue comes carly, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is

health every tissue, bone, nerve and

stomach for the work Of taking up from

FATAL WRECK IS .....
NARROWLY AVERTED

Estherville, March 26.-Passenger
train No. GIG from Cedar Rapids to
Sioux Falls on the Rock Island was
wrecked in the yards at this point
at 7:15 yesterday morning. The
wreck was caused by an open switch.
The train ran for some distance on
the ties.
Engineer Pat Sullivan made an eff
fort to apply the air brakes, but
was knocked from his seat in the
cab, down between the tender and
the engine, and could not reach the
lever Conductor Gage pulled the
cord and applied the air from the
rear Of the train as soon as he realiz-
ed that it was off the track, and it
stopped it almost instantly, just pre-.
venting a serious if not fatal wreck,
and perhaps saving the lives of many
passengers.
There were five coaches on the
train with a Pullman in the rear.
The engine and every car left the
track and the trucks were twisted
from under the engine and four Of
the coaches.
The middle car was turned nan
around. The train was running at
high rate of speed and it is re-
markable that no one was seriously
injured. Many Of tho passengers
We're badly shaken up.
Engineer Sullivan, in rounding tuJ
curve coming into the city, did not
see the open switch until his engine
left the track. Another train was
made up here and sent on to siouy
Falls.

Representative Hardwick, from

Pullman car. Hardwick is the small.
lest man in the House. The presence
Of a negro passenger gave him great
concern, and after the negro had
gone into the dining-car and eaten
his dinner, sitting near the Georgian,
the Georgia member went to the con-
ductor and asked that the negro be
put out of the car. 1--WE can't do
that, sir" the conductor answered.
''Well, If that fresh niger gets near
me I'm going to,wipe up the car with
him." declared the Georgian; II won't
have him around me-" Everything
went along peacabiy enough, the
negro sitting in his seat and inter.
fering with no one. ''Who Is that
black rascal?" asked the Southern
member Of the porter, after a time.
"Who? Him." asked the porter;
"boss, OATS Joe Cans, the pugilist."
