mayor there were two candidates, the re-

beaten because Of the machine which sup

was elected by majority of IN votes.

Il proceeded gradually, first eliminating
by degrees the pastry and sweets from the

have faith in his wifes ability as a cook.
Meantime his headaches became less
frequent, but did not cease altogether.
When the time was ripe and I proposed
to use Postum Food Coffee he consented
upon the promise that he should have
the old kind of coffee at his SUNDAY

drinking the old coffee on Sundays he suf-

Piled I'D, but No One
Seriously Injured.

y ST. MICHAEL. Neb., April b.-West-
bound train No. Al of the Burlington, with
two engines was wrecked three miles west
of st. Michael at 7:2O this morning while
going at the rate OF about forty-hve miles
an hour and making up lost time. The
train was made up OF three express and
mail cars and eleven coaches. 1t was well
filled with passengers. Two baggage and
express cars were completely overturned
and one da coach and six chair cars de-
rallied and badly wrecked. but only four
people were slightly injured:
H. D. Holway, bruised in side; refused
aid, being Of Christian Science faith.
c. NJ Osborne, from central Missouri,
ankle sprained in getting out OF car.
Express Messenger James Upton Of Lin
coin, bruised in chSst and shoulder from
being thrown against side OF car.
Another passenger received sprained
ankle and several received slight cuts from
crashing glass.
The escape OF such trainload OF passen-
gers with so little injury is regarded by
the train crew as perhaps beyond all pre-
vious records. Some Of the coaches are all
riEhtsand- seYeret were thrown thirty feet
from the track.
The gas tank in one OF the chair cars
caught FIRE. but was thrown out Of the
coach before IL exploded. The explosion
set FIRE 20 the car. but the fire was quickly
extinguished by use OF buckets and water
in adjacent bitches.
The wreck was caused by spreading rails,
but the engine remained on the track and
ran ahead. The engineer. on looking back
and seeing the piled up coaches, was con-
fident there were scores Of injured. and
without taking time to inquire rushed to
Ravenna for a relief train. Four physi-
SLAMS from Aurora and five from Grand
Island were sent to tho scene and attended
the few slightly injured. The conductor
OF the train was ]. B. Austin. the engineer
c. e. Finch. Traffic will be delayed at
least twelve hours. A wrecking crew has
been sent from Lincoln.

HUMBOLDT MAN on THE wARPATH

Runs Amuck and knocks Down n
Number of Citizens.
HUMBOLDT, Neb., April 5-(Special)-
Walter Parker who has been making his
home with his brother. Pearl Parker of
this city for a number of years. caused
great deal OF excitement In the city at
late hour last evening by running smuclS
through the streets, assaulting everyone
he met and badly wounding several be-
fore he was captured. II is supposed he
was under the influence of liquor, although
after his capture he seemed to fully re-
,-iize all that was happening.
The AFFAIR started about o'clock on the
west side of the square, when two young
fellows were about to settle a controversy
by a resort to blows, and John Johnson
jr.. young man from Peoria, ILL.,, who is
visiting his parents here. attempted to step
between them and stop the trouble. At this
tuncture Parker, who was looking on and
evidently wanted to see a scrap, stepped
forward and struck Johnson a stunning
blow in the face, and before anyone could
interfere was on top of the PROSTATE man
kicking and stamping him. Johnson is a
man Of light build. while his opponent Is
over six feet tall, weighs nearly 200 pounds
and is of a brawny build. Another by
stander, Len Manning, in an endeavor to
cause Parker to desist from his attacks
upon the unconscious man, was himself
made a victim of an assault, Parker
clinching him and both rolling into the
street.. while the Infatuated man clasped
Manning about the throat and sunk his
teeth into his cheek, cutting the flesh
badly, and also biting the latters thumb
to the bone. Assistance came. but Parker
managed to elude the authorities and ran
around the south side of the square, meet
ing Tommy James, the 15-year-old son
of T. r. James, who was passing along
the walk. He struck the boy a brutal
blow in the face, knocking him into the
street, where he lay unconscious until as
sisted to the doctors office, where he was
found to be suffering only from a badly
discolored eye and cuts and bruises about
the face. Roy Leech, a grown man, hap
pened to see this assault and running VI

who was apparently going without resist

ran down the street towards the depot
stopping at the street corner long enough
TO knock August Mitchell, a young clerk
who was standing in the doorway, down
the steps and into the street by a body
