was engaged in cleaning up around
the kitchen after dinner, and while
thus engaged threw quantity of re-
fuse and grease into the range fire.
There was more grease than she sup
posed, and the blaze flashed out, al
most completely envelcplng her. Her
clothes were partially burned from
her body, and she was badly burned
about the neck, arms and hands. She
is resting as easily as could be ex-

Had Head Bandaged.

John German of Bowbells, N. d.,
tells his experience of the wreck.
81 was sitting in the smoker in
about the third seat from the real
when we struck the switch engine,
said Mr.. German. "The baggage car
was telescoped into the smoker, and
as the floor of the baggage car was
pushed back over the floor of the
smoker it tore the seats loose and
threw them all into the back end of
the car. 1t all happened in a rush, and
when we came in a dead stop l found
myself lying near the roof of the car
with my back across the back of
seat.
81 thought had lain there about an
hour, but suppose it was only few
minutes, when some enc on the out
side saw me through the window and
said he would get me out. He broke
the window, but just as he did so the
men working at the rear end of the
car succeeded in chopping away the
end boards and l sank gradually and
easily until the whole mass settled
firmly, when l slid down and walked
out.
II thought l had come out OF fine
wreck without an injury and COM
menced to help the others get out the
men who were caught in the wreck
age, when l happened to put my hand
up to my head and found stream
of blood rushing out. Outside of the
bruise on my head and rather sore
back l feel all right, SO far.
1T seems that the whole weight Of
the pile of seats and men rested
against the rear wall of the smoker,
and when this gave way 1t simply re-
leased the pressure and the seats
pushed out on the platform and let
down Some Of the deaths and the
worst injuries were suffered by those
IN the front end and others bv the
,.sengers in the back part of ~
car OF course those who were caught
between the seats in the rear end had
the weight of the whole mass bearing
down upOn them.

New Use for Potatoes.

Many persons will be surprised to
learn that the potato Is used in France
in the manufacture Of imitation meer-
schaum pipes and marble" billiard
balls. After the potatoes are peeled
they are kept for thirty-six hours in
an 8 per cent solution of sulphuric
acid. They are then dried and pressed
hard enough for use in making pipes.
Under strong pressure they become
solid enough to be turned into billiard
balls,

Jury Disagreed.

A message from Twin Village is to
the effect that the jury disagreed in
the case Of the state vs.. H. w. Thomp-
son. Thompson was charged with
criminal assault upon a woman who
lives near Ada. The jury stood 10
for acquittal and 2 for conviction. This
case was the most important on the
calendar at Ada and has attracted
a great deal of attention down that
way. Thompson is a we'll known man
and the general opinion is that he is
innocent Of the charge.

Some great men have to die before

case of the Tennysonic genius-Ed:-

The following is the Berwick Posts
description of the contiscation of coal
by the residents of that village: A
rather exciting time was experienced
In this village Thursday morning
early, when it was learned that there
were several cars of railroad coal on
the track here, which had been side
tracked on account of dead" en-
CINE. While the engineer and assist
ants were repairing the big iron horse,
one of our citizens sighted the coal
and the alarm wert like wild fire.
Within ten minutes after the fuel was
Spotted" at least SO men were busily
engaged shoveling coal off the loade
cars as though their lives depended
upon, which in a sense of the word
was true. 1t was time when people
must have fuel or freeze, and in a case
of this kind, any other way would
undoubtedly cease to be virute. The
way those fellows chopped to it"
wasn't slow. The majority of the peo-
pie were hard to work before the
printer "got next to it" and the speed
he made on the way to the cars was
close to 2:40 gait. We grabbed
shovel and "scooped" for some time.
All there received enough to last
them several days. However, the coal
was weighed on the lumber yard
scales and each one will pay Agent
Hare for every pound, and Jim Hill
will not lose penny by the confisca-
ton.

the principal and the younger as an ac-
cessory Robbery Is ascribed as the mo-
tive for the deed.

his predicament Neither seems at all to
realize the enormity OF the charge pre-
ferred against him. Both insist that the
last time they saw their father was when
he ate breakfast prior to going to Teka-
nah and they declare their innocence In
sort Of listless. Indifferent manner,

situation had not fully borne down upon
them.
Mrs. Headley believes in the guilt OF
her sons. She does not talk much about
the crime, but admits she thinks her elder
son. animated by lust for money. which
is said to be his ruling passion, led the
other boy into the crime of taking their
