ENGINEER DIES WITH ENGINE

Into Ditch.

FREMONT, Neb.. July 6-(special Tele-
gram -Elmer e. Cole, an engineer on the
Great Northern, was killed at the North
western crossing five miles north of this
city about o'clock this morning. When
his train which was a special construction
train of nat cars loaded with cinders, bound
north, approached the crossing the sema-
phore was set for the Northwestern. Cole
did not stop and his train went on to the
derailing switch at a speed Of from fifteen
to twenty miles an hour. II was too late
10 stop and the engine went OF the track.
The fireman jumped from his side of the
cab and escaped with slight bruises. Cole
jumped from the right side and he had no
sooner struck the ground than the locomo-
tive rolled over on top of him into the ditch.
wrecking crew went up from Fremont
and the body Of the dead engineer was
brought to Bader Bros undertaking rooms.
The signal man in the semaphore tower
says that the track was set for the North
western, and that Cole must have run
past the signal without looking until 1t
was too late. There is no curve at this
point, or anything to obstruct a view Of
the semaphore. the tracks being out on
the open prairie. The accident occurred
about 1000 feet from the tower and did
not obstruct the Northwestern tracks

RULO, Neb., July Especial. )-About
i:l5 on the evening of July an unidenti-

Mrs. Thomas Hayes. Mrs. Hayes sat
with her back toward the door and paid
no attention. thinking 1t was one of her
own household.
The wretch, calling Mrs. Hayes by
name, said that he would cut her throat
IL he had a butcher knife. Mrs. Hayes
was about to scream for help and he said
that he would XIII her sure if she said a
word. He then gagged her and tied her
hands behind her back with her own hand
kerchief. During the struggle he kicked
her violently in the ribs, this being the
last she remembered until her husband
came home.
Upon coming home her husband found
her lying on the floor with a towel over
her face and her arms tied behind her
back. The knot in the handkerchief was
so firmly tied as to necessitatu the use
Of knife TO release her arms. Not being
a strong woman she Is In a highly ner-

LINCOLN, July ESPECIAL I'm nifty
eight counties in Nebraska chickens have
been returned 10 the State Board OF AS
sessment at a total valuation Of 81, 040,S40
against a total valuation IN all the ninety
counties last year Of S1.499.OsO. A compari-
son OF the returns this year with the report
Of last year in those counties already re-
ported indicates a material increase in the
valuation OF this very important though
much overlooked Nebraska crop.
Hooker county hasn't a chicken or any
fowl Of that description within its borders
according TO the assessors report, and II
contains no mention OF Methodist preachers
having been there lately, either. In Nc
Pherson county there are just 50 worth OF
chickens Last year at this time the
chickens in this county were valued at
Sl7s. Logan county has only 1887 worth Of
chickens, while Loup has 1901 worth. These
figures are the assessed values, being one
fifth of the actual value. Just how many
chickens were under the house or behind
the hedge when the assessors called of
course never will be known, but It is as
serted by eminent statisticians there we're
a plenty.
Inasmuch as chickens were not returned
to the assessors prior to the enactment of
the new revenue law, chickens have cut
quite a figure in the increased valuation
of the state under that law. Chickens in
the ffty-eight counties reporting are Of
equal value with the sheep crop Of last
year, sheep being valued at s1,04o,56O, there
being less than $500 difference. The total
hog crop last year amounted to $12s99, s35,
which, taken with the eggs sold, probably
makes tho chicken much more valuable
than the hog. The following table shows
the assessed value of chickens in the
atraadry raportad.

The Ideal Family Laxative

is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmfuk
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose it's effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is laxative on the
market that is so carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
a century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or
sugar coated.
