Short Line Talk.

Reports from Iowa Falls now state

months will see through train sefv.
ice established from the Twin Cities
to Des Moines by the Milwaukee road
which now maintains service between
the Twin Cities and Mason City. This
report is in line with the persistent
report that the Des Moines Short Line
would become a part of the Milwau-
kee system as soon as the road be-
tween this city and Mason City was
completed. The statement made by
Mr.. Dodge of the Short Line that his
road would use the Milwaukee depot
and terminals at Mason City is taken
to indicate that the two roads will at
least have very close traffic arrange

Operator Close 10 Death.

Edward Boeckh, telegraph operator
for the O., NJ. & st. P. r. r. at Ed

escape from death while crossing the
tracks in front Of the depot at that
place. He stepped onto the tracks
near the switch and as he did so he
caught his foot in the tracks and fell
heavily forward, breaking his leg.
For few minutes he lay stunned on
the tracks, but was soon aroused
While he was laboring to extract him
self from his perilous position, a
train hove in sight coming down the
track at lively clip. Death seemed
sure for the unfortunate man, but
with one mighty effort he pulled the
broken leg from his vice-Iike grip of
the switch and crawled to a place of
safety as the train whirled past. He
crawled to the depot and remained
there until the next train for st. Paul
arrived. He boarded this train and
went to st. Paul where he will get
new wooden leg to take the place of
the one which was broken by his fall
on the switch. Dubuque Times-J Jour-

dogs under such circumstances. The
dog scared away the fish and the man
adopting heroic measures tied his pet
TO nearby wagon, using an extra
fish line as a means of depriving the
dog of his liberty. The fish line had
a spoon hook attached. While the
man was absorbed in his fishing the
dog got loose. still carrying the fish
line about his neck. Frightened by
the shouts OF his master, ne SWAN out
into the lake, returning with a five
pound pike on the hook.

In Evidence Here, Too.

The fish hog is much in evidence
and the despicable work of putting
explosives in the small streams ad.
jacent to Waukon is again going on
this spring. We are informed that il
has been done on Village Greek and
we saw evidence ourself of the dirty
work on North Fork last Thursday.
In one hole about mile below Ace
Fuller's the bottom of the creek was
carpeted with dead fish from three to
six inches long, numbering up among
the thousands, and all for the sake of
getting few worthless suckers. For
several years past Waukon lovers of
the sport of fishing have been stocking
these streams with rainbow trout, at
considerable trouble and expense. and
in spite of such unlawful work men,
toned above some fine fish have been
taken of late years and the harvest
and sport is free to all. But patience
has ceased to be a virtue with the
members of the Fish Club. They
have line on the parties who are do
ing this nefarious work and repeti-
tion Of it will bring them speedy
punishment. That they may be fully
informed as to the punishment we
herewith publish the chapter of the
code referring to the crime: 1T shall
be unlawful for any one to place in
the waters of the state any lime,
ashes or drug OF any kind or SUBJ
stance. explode dynamite, gun cotton.
giant powder or other compound or
or use electricity in any
way with the intent to kill or so to
affect any fish that il may be taken.
and any one guilty of any of said acts
shall. upon conviction thereof, be
fined not less than $50, nor more than
BOO. or imprisoned in the county Jail
not less than fifteen nor more than
thirty days. "-Waukon Journal.

Careless With Gun.

A serious accident happened last
week at the Will Sutton fam just
west of Delhi. The young sons of
Will Sutton were out shooting ground
squirrels. In trying to extract she'll.
the gun was discharged by l5-year-
old boy. The charge hit his brother,
aged years. Twenty-Five shot were
taken from the boy by DR.. E. J. Will
lenberg. Most of them were lodged in
the hip and leg, though few scatter
ing shot struck the boy in the face
and head. Most of the charge struck
the ground and glanced off to the boy
or he would have been instantly
killed.

For some months Fox, a stalwart
young farmer boy has been counting
the fair Elizabeth. About ten DAYS

riage. With it he drove to the Swaine
home where he and his bride had
agreed they should be married-if the
folks would agree. The young man
strobe bravely up to the old gentle
man. who was working in the barn.
Marry you? Never. Get out of my
sight, yelled Swaine as he grabbed
the nearest buggy whip. Fox ran for
his buggy but the old man followed
him and thrashed him after he bad
mounted. Fox went to Charles City
to have Swaine arrested but changed
his mind. Then he got word to Eliza
beth and they planned an elopment.
Sunday night. a young man called to
take the girl driving. There seemed
no objections and Miss Swaine got in
and drove away. Down the road
half mile stood Fox. Quickly the girl
stepped into the rig of her lover,
young Fox cracked his whip and away
they sped to the parsons where they
were married.

A great many people imagine
they have heart trouble when the
fact is that the whole trouble lies in
the stomach, The pains in the side
around the region of the heart are
not necessarily heart trouble. We
suggest that you start with the
stomach and whenever you feel de-
preston after eating or whenever
your food seems to nauseate take
Kodol. 1t will not be long until
all these "heart pains will disap-
pear. Take Kodol now and until
you know you are right again.
There isn't any doubt about what it
will do and you will fld the truth

have used Kodol for a few weeks.
