OBITUARY

At Elk River, Mimi, Mar 30, 1908,
and inferred at Oaklawn cemetery at
Cresco, Iowa, April 2, 1908. Services
were held at the residence of J. s.
Marsh and were conducted by Rev
w. R. Hill assisted by Rev. Gammons
Leonard Gilcrest, son of Robert an6
Lizzie Gilcrest.
Twelve years ago he opened his
bright brown eyes to this world yet
only to be little sufferer and constant
care for the fond mother and father
during the long years of pain. He
kept the same sweet baby face always
beautiful to look upon. AS the sweet
face kept its beauty SO the death an
gel came in quietly and took him peace
fully as if going to sleep. None can
miss him like the kind sisters and
brothers and loving father andsmother,
his affection being such that demanded
constant care, and as he goes to the
one who blesses little children and
said, "Of Such is the Kingdom of Hea.
ven" we can but say with Ira D. San
key.
On the happy Easter morning all the graves
their dead restore.

CAR LEAPS 1RES1LE;; IS HURT
ACCIDENT ON STRUCTURE OF
CHICAGO ELEVATED ROAD.
Motor Car Crashes to the Ground
Passengers Hurled Together in
Bleeding Mass.

Chicago. Apr. eighteen persons
were injured, nine of them severely,
and about dozen others slightly
bruised Tuesday when south bound
South Side Elevated railroad train
leaped the tracks at Forty-third street
and the motor coach went crashing
to the ground 20 feet below. Every
passenger in the motor car, which was
used as smoker" was hurt. They
were hurled together in bleeding
mass in the front end of the coach,
the rear end of which remained on the
tracks, acting as pivot on which the
rest of the cars swung until it stood
almost perpendicularly to the elevated
structure. Two other cars of the train
did not leave the track, but passen-
gers in them were shaken up.
The front end of the coach which
hit the ground in the rear yard of the
home Of Mrs. A. T. Hagen, 1925 Prai-
rie avenue, was smashed almost into
kindling wood. All the debris, includ-
ing glass, wood and seat cushions,
was hurled toward this end of the
car, into which the passengers were
also thrown, fact responsible for
the large number of injuries. Lucki-
ly the heavy iron trucks became de-
tached as the car left the track and
were not hurled on top of the injured
passengers. They dropped directly to
the ground at some distance from the
place where the front end of the car
landed.
George Stang, the motorman Of the
car that leaped the track, stuck to his
post as his car was lifted up from I'M
der him and slowly whirled to the
surface. He had the presence Of mind
to shut off the electric current and to
close the air brakes partly. His action
prevented the wreck from catching
fire and fearful loss Of life occur
ring.
Charles " Weston, president Of the
company, said that the wreck was
caused by the motor casing on the
front car dropping to the tracks and
raising the trucks over the structure.
The motor casing weighs several hun
dred pounds and, as the name implies,
incases the motor, protecting 1t from
dirt and injury. The car, while NOV.
ing at a fair rate of speed, 1t is OK
| planned, might easily be thrown of
the tracks by the dropping of one OF
these castings.

men MUST HAVE
WORK OR STARVE
Appalling Condition of Affairs
in England-Government
Promises Little Help.


London, Oct. 1.-THE very serious mat
ter of the unemployed in England came
up for discussion in the house of com
mons this afternoon, but larger dole of
money than last year and the expeditins
of the naval ship-building program were
the only expedients proposed by Premier
Asquith in his unfolding of the govern
ment'S plan to meet the situation. The
gravity of the case arising from the fact
that hundreds of thousands are on the
verge of starvation through lack of work
was fully recognized by the premier, but
he could not undertake in the legislative
field. to grapple with the permanent
causes thereof until the next session. The
government. he said. was prepared to
provide a fund of 81 500 eco to help the un-
employed. and the admiralty was giving
out orders for the construction of nine
torpedo boat destroyers and five unar-
mored cruisers to cost total of s12 800
go two months earlier than had
been originally intended. The pre-
nlier made also bid for recruits, saying
that the war office was ready TO take on
1880 men for the winter training in the
special reserves.
The proposal quite fails to meet the
demands of the labor members of the

MAKING CLAIMS
OF EVERYTHING
Grand Chorus of Republicans
WhiStling While Approach
ing the Graveyard.

New York, Oct 21--On the eve of his
last campaign visit to Chicago, where
he. will remain two days, Chairman
Hitchcock of the Republican national
committee expressed himself more con-
fidently than at any time since he as
sumed the management of the Repub-
lican campaign.
He declared today that New York
was absolutely safe for the national and
state tickets, and added that he was
confident that California. Oregon and
Washington would give large Republic
can pluralities. He was satisfied also,
he said, with conditions in Colorado,
Nebraska and Kansas, and he thought
Montana was safely Republican,
though he did not look for any over
whelming pluralities in that state.
AS to Missouri, Kentucky and Mary
land. he regarded the last state as sure
ly Republican, and in the other two he
thought there was a fighting chance.
Vice Presidential Candidate James s.
Sherman made a hurried call at nation
al headquarters today. He said the
poll of the state which would be made
public the last of this week would show
that a sweeping Republican victory in
New York state could not be stopped.

gle, but in few minutes all the germs are dead.
Do you know the meaning of that?"
NO" Rebecca said with wide-eyed wonder.
THAT means that blood-poson need no longer
he a fatal malady We have but to inject this
fluid into the blood and straightway the wicked
streptococcus dies. This is Doctor Herders dis
covery. This will make Doctor Herder famous"
"Oh, it is wonderful" his companion whispered
"And when everybody is praising Doctor Herder,
he will forget all about the little Jewish girl who
used to sit at his feet and the hysterical weep
ing broke forth anew.
NO. dear child, that he will not You will be
married to Gabriel and will have forgotten all
about your poor old doctor in his cold, lonely
home, long before this discovery is known out
side these laboratory walls"
Marry Gabriel? Forget you the girl spoke
in slow, bewildered tones. Then she began i'm
pulsively, "And, Doctor Herder, which germ is
it that causes love-" The learned man smiled
at the naivete of the question.
'That is naughty little fellow that shall
call the amorococcus," he said playfully. "He
causes great deal of trouble in the world; but
l shall waste time in trying to discover
antidote for his poison"
Perhaps the streptococcus would destroy him."
Rebecca CRIED her eyes growing suddenly bright.
Perhaps he would be antidote for love-"
YES and for all lifes poisons Half the con-
tents of this tube, injected into your arm, would
cure the bitterest heart-sorrow. Not even my new
discovery would avail to overthrow him. But
come, we must not speak of sorrow. l have just

again. 1t is better that you should return to-
your people. You almost well And
besides, my wife returns from Europe in fort
night to spend month with me, and she objects
to having patients in the house. She is with me
so little, spending most of her time with our
daughter, the Countess Ehrling that l feel
I must do everything can to please her while she
is at home.'
The sallow face had grown deadly pale, and
a sudden anguish contracted the thin mouth. This
time the somber eyes did not fill with tears, and
there was in their lucid depths the look of
poor, dumb thing that feels the relentless steel
in it's heart. Otto Herder caught the express
sion, and it's meaning burst upon him, as light
that dazzles while it iumines. For fveand-
twenty years he had laid at the feet of beau
tiful, unresponsive woman the passion of his soul.
For fve-and-twenty years he had counted it suf-
ficient to be the slave of her he loved Now for
the first time in his life he felt himself fully a
man. For the first time the crown of womans
love placed upon his brow. Should he not
wear 1t? Had he not endured the desolation of
his empty life long enough. Speechless and dizzy
with the rapture, he sat gazing into those
eyes that all unwittingly, had told their secret.
Then the iron will of the man of science caught
up the looseflung rens. Putting the cold pallid
child gently from him, Doctor Herder said almost
reverently,-
$50 to your room and try to sleep, Rebecca. I
have some calls to make and must be going now."
But no calls made that afternoon. Col
leagues and friends who met the famed neurologist
on his long walk and were passed by without a
glance of recognition said with an ndulgent SMILE
"He is up in the clouds, with his brain cells
and nerve fbers." And only the patient, loving
