He recovered his physical strength,
but his vocal organs remained para
lyzed and he was unable to speak a
word. A few days ago he sat on the
business end of a tack. He jumped
up. clapped his hand to the injured
portion of his anatomy and swore
roundly and loudly, in manner that
shocked all the neighbors within a
block. Since then he has been able
to talk as well as ever. He attrib-
utes his recovery entirely to the tack,
possibly assisted by the accompany
ing outburst of profanity. and recon-
mends other dumb people to test the

Headaches, in a great majority OF

muscles of the eye, first by the muscle

This has been accomplished mainly
by the erection of warehouses foI
storing the crop until the price de
manded could be secured. In Texas
the leading cotton state, the union
has 32O warehouses with a storage
capacity of more than a million bales
During the last year more than $50
warehouses have been constructed
The union has its head warehouses
at Houston. the greatest cotton mar
ket in the world. while many other
important shipping, seaport and dis
tribuuing cities throughout the south
also have large warehouses.
The union represents the new idea
in the organization of farmers 1t
is strictly business body, entirely
different from the old Grange and
Farmers Alliance. While the MEM
bers naturally constitute a factor to
be considered by the politicians. the
union is strictly non-partisan and no
political discussions are allowed at
conventions or meetings. In many
states the Farmers union has effect
ed an alliance with the declarations
of trade unions.
In the old Grange days the farm
ers were antagonstic to labor unions
and sought TO force down the prices
of goods they purchased. The new
movement co-operates with the la
borers in other fields of endeavor and
does not attempt to cheaper labor or
cheaper prices OF manufactured
goods. except so far as to eliminate
the profits OF middlemen. THE la
borer is worthy of his hire" is the
motto of the Farmers union, and
they seek to make 1t applicable to
all trades as well as their own.
The Farmers union was organized
in Texas in 1902 with ten charter
members. Now IL has a million farm
ers who are proud to claim member
ship. Now that II has completed the
conquest of the land of King Cotton,
wrestling the supremacy from the
spectators, 1t is gradually extending
dts membership and influence all over
the west and north. Nearly thirty
states are now represented on the
rolls OF the union. and the promoter
of the movement believe that the day
is not far distant when all the farm
ers of the country will be organized,

ing on the track upon which they
were about to send number of cars.
The bill of nine cars was given start
from a point just east of the Florida
Grove road. On account of the down
grade the cars attained great speed
and soon got beyond control of the
brakeman. Just before the accident
the brakeman saw the predicament
he was in and jumped for his life.
The fleeing train of cars struck the
others with terrific impact, break
ing the long brick car in half and
piling the truck of one car under one
of the coal cars and demolishing the
ends of two other cars.
The Lehigh Valley wrecking crew
was busily engaged all day yesterday
clearing up the debris. The two coal
cars which were only damaged were
sent away to be repaired. The de-
molished brick car was taken to one
side of the tracks and burned.

Mrs. Leo Schwartz Discovered
Intruder Ascending Stairs to

Sergeant Mulligan received a call

Mrs. Schwartz said that she saw
a man, about five feet seven inches
tall, and dressed in dark clothes, COM

Upon seeing the man, Mrs. Schwartz
screamed, and the fellow at once
turned and ran down stairs to the
lower floor. 1t is thought that he
then went to the cellar and left the
house in that way.
The thief was evidently frightened
away before he had secured any plum
der, as Mr.. and Mrs. Schwartz say
that they have missed nothing.

There was also a crowd of spectators

After climbing over tracks and
lodging "shunted" freight cars, the

putting and snorting. 1t was not an
easy task to catch some of the loco
motives, as the engineers did not

When an engine would come down
the track the police would stand in
