Progress.

We are glad to note that the
suggestion of the Union Far
mers Club to have the farmers
name their farms and have the
name, with the name of the
proprietor painted in plain let
ters and placed in a conspicu-
Gus place, is favored by the
members of other Clubs of the
county, and will, no doubt, soon
be the order throughout the
country. Such a move is COM
mendable and should meet the
approval Of the public general
ly, and the name of the farm,
with the proprietors name, will
soon become as familiar to the
public as the name of any store
or grocery in town.

Worms in Hogs


The hog IS more infected with in
tes.lnal worms than any other domes-
tic amin II. The worms are created
by impure Accommodations along the
intestinal track aud generally pro-
dnced by poorly digested food. The
nature of the hog and his manner of
eating re- ,ders him m ,re susceptible
of intestinal worms than any other
animal. Under the present domestl
Gated conditions he is not allowed the
use of his natural instincts to obtain
the necessary element that would de-
stroy these intestinal parasites. rhs
hog that is wormy can neither grow
nor thrive for the reason that the
worms DESTROY all the effects Of the
nutrition furnished in the feed. Ii
qn'd koal strengthens the appetite
AMI tones up the system.

But None Seriously
Injured.
st. Paul Passenger No. IL
that left this city at 9::3O last
night was wrecked by a head
end collision at California juno
tion at 9:45. An eastbounnd
freight had pulled into Cali
fornia junction a few minutes
before the fast passenger train
was due at that place, and
thinking they had time the
freight crew pulled out on the
main line to do some switching.
When they saw the Limited
coming they endeavored to get
the track clear, but were too
slow and the big engine on the
passenger train crashed into
the freight engine, then top
pied over into the ditch, catch
ing Engineer Murphy under
the engine, where he was
scalded to death. The fireman,
Robert Skipton, saved himself
by jumping when he saw the
wreck was inevitable. The
mail clerks, Rodgers and
Loomis, were badly shaken up
but not seriously injured. En-
gineer Murphy stuck heroically
to his post and used every
means to stop the fast speeding
passenger train, and to his
faithfulness to duty many of
the passengers on the train owe
their lives. His faithfulness
to duty cost him his life but it
saved the train from horrible
wreck. AS soon as the train
men gathered their wits to-
gether an effort was made to
release Engineer Murphy from
his position under the engine,
but he died before he was taken
out. A special train was made
up in this city and sent to the
wreck, with surgeons aboard,
but there was not much work
for them to do when they got
there. The wreck occurred at
the east end of the yards in
California junction and the big
engine Of the passenger train
toppled over just in front of
the elevator at that place. The
remains of the dead engineer
