Train Has a Close Call.

The evening passenger due here at
5 .02. did not arrive until after nine
O'Clock last night, owing to an acct
dent about two miles above Browns
Vile. The trucks of the tender left
the track and the train tore along for
distance of 1900 feet before IL was
stopped. Engineer Emsley was at the
throttle and was running at such a
high rate OF speed that he did not
know the trucks were off for a time.
II doubtless saved a disastrous wreck
as had he attempted to stop quicker
the cars would doubtless have left the
track and rolled over the embankment
into the river. The train had the
usual complement of passengers and it
is almost miraculous that no one was
injured. All aboard can congratulate
themselves on their lucky escape. -

Lightning Freaks.

Most sensational freaks were per-
formed by bolt of lightning which
struck the barn on the Arnold Bros.
farm. near Mason City, killing three
horses. The bolt came through the
roof tearing only a small hole, passed
to the basement, where it tore the top
of buggy to pieces, thence killing a
horse near the entrance, rebounded to
the wall where the boards were splin-
tered, killed another horse standing in
stall with its mate. ascending to
the joists over head, which were bad
ly damaged and thence to the other
end of the barn killing another horse
and passed out, tearing hole as it
went. A small calf which stood in a
stall with one of the horses killed re.
manned unhurt. -Floyd County Advo-

ing mill of Schmidt Bros. & 90. one
of the oldest in Iowa Saturday. 1t is

house and warehouse adjoining the
mill were saved The loss is estimat-
ed $50, 900, insurance ST. 900. This
same mill was burned in 1860, incurr-
ing loss of $40, 900. If not rebuilt

A LOYAL Bride.

The fact that her fiance appeared
at the altar with his face swathed in
bandages, under which were terrible
burns, which will disfgue him for
life. did not deter Mrs. Mildred Kid

ed about the face and neck with hot
steam. The wedding had been
planned, as had also the honeymoon

for this station will be held in
our M. E. church in one week
from next Saturday and Sunday.
Petitions have been circulated
here and numerously signed ad-
dressed to our Representative
and Senator, asking them to sup
port the county local option and
female suffrage questions, sub
mitted to a vote of the people.
What may come out of this ac-
ton can not at this time be
known, but it is confidently be-
lieved that both will become laws
before the legislature closes its
session, and that in the event OF
such enactment it is confidently
believed that dry conditions will
prevail to a large extent over the
state. While the writer may not
be as sanguine as some who think
that under such a regime nine
tenths of the state would become
dry, yet he confidently believes
that much dry territory and good
would result. Let the work of
petitions and agitations go on un-
til the demon of intemperance
shall be chained for thousands of
years, yea, forever! Let the peo-
pie have sanity and exemption
from the curse of intoxicants.
Let it be shown and lived that
people can exist and endure lab
or, fatigue and extremes of wea-
| ther, etc., and ward off disease
better without the intoxicant than
| with it. If peoples minds could
be disabused of the belief that it is
a medicament, a large step would
be accomplished in favor of total
abstinence. Let it be tried.

sufficiently to attend to business

Mrs. Matte Clark was placed
in the Dayton State Hospital last
week.
Lieut.. E. L. Bigler left here
last week for his post of duty at
Annapolis, Md, but could not go
without taking with him a re-
membrance of our city, fearful,
probably, that the place might be
blotted from his memory unless
something of the kind be done.
This reminder he found in the
person of Miss Elsie Loughrige,
who went with him as wife.
While the writer was not mista-
ken as to the Iieutenant's pur-
pose, he missed the mark by sup
posing that the boon would be a
young widow. May happiness
and prosperity be theirs, with an
abundance Of the usual blessings
of life.
New Years Day is numbered
with the past, and we all write

something else. Our church bells
duly announced ethe advent of
the new year at the proper time.
Displacement of vehicles and like
things seemed absent as a herald
of this beginning of time, and
this feature was very generally
commended. Firecrackers play

things for all.
