Miss Vera Berce and Miss Gail Tag
gart had a startling adventure while out
driving, Tuesday afternoon. They were
proceeding along Water street at mod
crate pace, driving bay horse owned
by Miss Berce's father, when the hip
strap broke and the breeching fell down
about the horses heels. The horse
started to run and Miss Berce guided
him along the street as well as she
could. When opposite Milburn block
the carriage occupied by the two young
ladies' collded with a wagon belonging
60 Eben Deane OF Madison, breaking the
ixle OF the latter and throwing Miss
Berce and Miss Taggart out with good
deal of violence. They picked them
selves up however and, quite to the sur
prise of those who had witnessed the
incident, declared they were uninured.
The collision had partially stopped the
horse and he was captured. The In
Jury to the Berce team was comparative
ly trif1ing and that resulting to Mr..
Deans wagon was confined to the
broken axle above referred to. 1t WAS
most miraculous escape from serious In
Iuries.

Yankton Sensation.

Yankton, June 7.-One of the biggest
sensations Yankton has been treated TO
for some years developed here Tuesday
when it was learned that +. w. Sallett,
until recently editor and owner of the
Freie Presse, had just obtained divorce
in Sioux Falls from his wife, for whom
he has just purchased handsome home
in Indianapolis, and where she is now
living with her four children. Mr.. Sal.
lett a month ago sold his paper to a
stock company composed of w. G. Lusk
Herman Ellerman, John Holman and
Gustav Kositzky. Domestic relations
were not of the best in the Sallett home
it is understood for the first tim here,
and the divorce resulted from some long
standing troubles aptedating tie arrival
of the family in Yankton. Rumor has
it that Mr.. Sallett may remain in Yank-
ton and will marry a young lady who
was ia his employ as bookkeeper. The
whole affair was received with surprise
and incredulity at first, so we'll had the
family kept its skeleton concealed

Bad Stomach Makes
Bad Blood.

You can not make sweet butter in a
foul, unclean churn. The stomach serves
as a churn in which TO agitate, work up
and disintegrate our food as ii is being
digested. If 1t be weak, sluggish and
foul the result will be torpid, sluggish
liver and bad, impure blood.
The ingredients OF DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery are Just such as best
serve 10 correct and cure all such de-
rangements. 1t is made up without a
drop of alcohol in its composition: chem
ically pure, triple-retined glycerine being
used instead OF the commonly employed
alcohol Now this glycerine is of itself a
valuable medicine, instead Of deleteri-
ous agent like alcohol, especially in the
cure OF weak stomach, dyspepsia and the
various forms Of indigestion. Prof. Finley
Ellingwood, NJ. D., Of Bennett Medical
College, Chicago, says of it;

When combined, in just the right proper

The adoption of larger engines by
railroad companies, the increase in
the tonnage of freight trains and the
corresponding decrease in the speed
of trains, will be subjects of investi-
CATION by the interstate commerce
commission when that body comes to
the northwest early in the new year.
Much of the complaint of northwest
shippers is concerning the extremely
slow movement of freight and the al
most interminable delays experienced
in reasonably short hauls.
In order to cut down operating ex-
penses all the western companies
have adopted the use of monster To-
speed three times the number of cars
which formerly made up a train.
Thus a train and engine crew is made
to do the work formerly done by
three crews, but the slower speed of
the heavy freight trains is demoraliz-
ing to commerce.
The Seattle News says of the stu
Great Northern:
One of the most important things
which the Pacific Coast Lumber
Manufacturers association hopes to
obtain in their fight against the over
land railroads is that of a speedier
movement in the shipment OF lum-
ber. In securing this they will not
opI,, tbap,caIva. h,,t q
effect will be to improve the move
ment of general business over the
roads.
All over the country manufacturers,
shippers generally. and associations
are bemoaning the slow movement
of traffic over the railroads and are
trying to effect an improvement.
The two big overland railroads, the
Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific. in their working time tables
have an average movement figured
out for each car of about 240 miles
| per day.
From data obtained by the lum-
bermen the actual average move
ment amounts to only about so miles
day. about one-fifth of what they
have provided for. Instances have
come to the attention of the lumber
men where lumber and shingle cars
have been over a week getting from
Ballard to Argo, from the northern
boundary of the city to the southern
boundary.
Loaded lumber cars have been
over 40 days moving from Centralia
to Tacoma, a distance that can be
made in a few hours. This is the
character of the story which the
lumbermen are preparing to unfold
before the interstate commerce COM
mission when the time comes.

TO SAVE FAMOUS MONUMENT.
Block House Built I'm 1894 Marks
British Occupation.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 20.-How to
preserve the only remaining monu-
ment of British occupation in this re-
gion is a problem that presents itself
to the minds of Pennsylvania citizens
at present.
In an effort to keep an old block
house, built in 1854. which is now in
the busiest and most congested section
Of the city. the Daughters of the
American Revolution have been re-
pulsed in the courts. As the old
house cannot stand it has been de-
cided to bodily move it to some prom
visitors.
The historic little building is sur
rounded, except for a narrow strip of
land connecting it with Penn avenue,
by freight yards OF the Pennsylvania
railroad. 1t was built during the
stormiest period of the war between
the English and Indians 142 years
ago. Pontiac's war had broken out
the year before in 1853, and Fort
Pitt, which then stood on the present
site of Pittsburg was assailed by the
Indians. It looked as If the garrison
was doomed to death when Col. Henry
Boquet was sent to its relief. On his
way he defeated a large body of In
dians and after this they gave up the
siege and fled. In 1854 Colonel Bo-
Suet built the block house as an out
post Of Fort Pitt. It is built of heavy
stone with small portfolios for guns.
A meeting of the D. A. R. will be held
tonight to select the new site for the
old building.
