AT SCENE OF DISASTER.

Davenport, Nov. 17.-Dr. P. A. Ben
dixen and Charles Shuler left for
Cherry, ILL.,, where the awful explosion
in the mines of the st. Paul Coal COM
pany took place. Dr. Bendixen is the
local surgeon Of the Milwaukee rail-
road, which owns the mines, and went
to the scene of the fatal disaster with
the idea of being of assistance in car
ing for the injured if possible. Mr..
Shuler went to Cherry to study the
conditions under which the explosion
took place and thus receive sugges-
tons for improvements and precau-
lions to be inaugurated in his own min
ing properties to prevent such ex-
plosions.

MORNING train
KILLS EMPLOYE
FRANK HEMPFER OF BURLING-
TON STEEL GANG SUFFERS
DEATHH.

Struck by Burlington passenger
train No 8 while at work east of OF
tumwa this morning, Frank Hempfer,
a laborer in the steel gang of the COM
toany was instantly killed. His remains
were shortly after the accident
brought to the Daggett undertaking
rooms, where an inquest is being held.
d The accident was seen by two fell
Vow workmen, who state that the
B. 1t beam or the cylinder struck the
Syou = man while he was walking
along the track too close for clear
gance of the train. The men of the
steel gang, of which Hempfer was an
employe. were working along the track
east of the city in the vicinity of
bridge No. 277, which spans the road
lat the division of the north and south
Hoadways in Riverview. The gang had
dome west from Agency to do some
work on the track and had the hand
car in the clear at the time of the ac-
cident. Hempfer seemed to have his
attention centered on the work train
going east and owing to the men be-
Ing scattered was out of range of
warning from his fellow workmen as
No. came laundering down the hill
toward him. He was struck on the left
side and back, precipitated consider
able distance by the force of the blow
from the engine, and when picked up,
was dead. His back was thought to
have been broken and his left fore
ikrm suffered fracture, while the only
bsisible abrasion on the surface was
JPN the wrist and back of the left hand,
apparently from contact with the
around when striking the frozen bal
Besst along the track.
n The remains were brought on a
Elandcar to the Vine street crossing,
1where the ambulance met the party
4 md took the body to the undertaking
looms. The residence of Hempfer is
2said to be in st. Louis and he appear
ed to be about 25 years of age. No one
seems to know much of the young
men and it is thought that no relatives
live in this vicinity.

new TRIAL is
NOT ALLOWED
JUDGE SMITH MCPHERSON OVER.
RULES MOTION IN HOOVER
INSURANCE CASE.

motion for a new trial in the
case of the Hoover Distilins company
against the fifteen insurance com
panies which held policies on the o.
kaloosa plant when it burned recently,
was denied yesterday by Judge Smith
Mcpherson in the federal court
at Des Moines. During the last
term of the court held at Ottumwa
the distilling company was awarded
the sum of $1S4,000, the full face value
OF the policies held by the companies.
A motion for new trial was made
by the insurance companies on the
ground that the value of the whisky
claimed to have been lost by the dis
filling company in the fire, was too
high. They submitted evidence to
show that other whisky, containing
the same ingredients, and exactly the
same in age and other qualities, are
sold at much lower prices than is the
Hoover whisky.
In his opinion Judge Mcpherson
upheld the claims of the Hoover COM
pany in its contention that the price
of whisky is not only regulated by
it's real value as a whisky, but is great
ly enhanced by the reputation which
the company selling it has been able
to build up. He contended that il a
company is able by square dealing, by
the non-use of preservatives, and by
advertising, to establish good name
among its customers, then they have
a right to charge more for their whis-
ky than has another company which
has not taken the care to look out for
the same things. He cited several
cases of parallel instances.

PAROLED CONVICT IN TOLLS
WAS FREED BY GOV. SMITH;
RAISED ROUGH HOUSE.
McDuffy of Wilcox County Goes Back
to Long Prison Term After
Short Freedom.

ATANTA.-A former convict I'M
der parole has been taken into Gus
tody and returned to the peniten-
tiary to finish out the unserved por-
ton of his sentence.
Inspector w. ]. Flanders of the
penitentiary department went to Will
cox county last week to make the
arrest of Archie McDuffy, under or
ders from the prison commission.
McDuffy, white man, was paroled
by former Governor Smith last April
1t seems, however, that McDuffy
took to drinking and few days ago
was engaged in disorderly and riot
GUS conduct in the little town of
Pineview. 1t is said pistols were
drawn and results might have been
serious had it not been for interfer-
encc.
Mayor Mcleod of Pineview report
ed McDuffy's conduct by wire to Gov
ernor Brown, who promptly turned
the matter over to the prison COM
mission. At any time until dis
charged from his parole the convict
is subject to rearrest, and the COM
mission decided that in this case
an arrest should be made both as a
punishment to the guilty and as an
example to other convicts under
parole.
McDuffy was taken back to the
penitentiary to serve the remainder
of his sentence, which is a little less
than six years. He was convicted
of manslaughter in Wilcox county
and given ten years in the peniten-
tiary He had served only a little
more than four years when paroled,
and he now goes back with all of
his credit for good conduct wiped
out, and with prospect of nearly
six years more service staring him
in the face.

Do You Want to Know What You
Swallow?

There is a growing sentiment in
this country in favor of medicines
of known composition. 1t is but nat
ural that one should have some in
terest in the composition of that
which he or she is expected to swal-
low, whether it be food, drink or
medicine.
Recognizing this growing DISPOSE
ton on the part of the public, and
satisfied that the fullest publicity can
only add to the well-earned reputa-
ton of his medicines, DR.. R. ".
Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y, has taken
time by the forelock," as it were,
and is publishing broadcast a list
of all the ingredients entering into
his medicines, Golden Medical Dis
covery," the popular liver invigor-
ator, stomach tonic, blood-purifier
and heart regulator; also of his "Fa-
vorite Prescription for weak, over
worked, broken-dOwn, nervous and
invalid women.
This bold and out-spoken move
ment on the part of DR.. Pierce has,
known medicines are composed of,
completely disarmed all harping crit
les who have heretofore unjustly at
tackled them. A little pamphlet has
been compiled from the standard
medical authorities of all the several
schools of practice, showing the
strongest endorsements by leading
medical writer's of the several ingre-
dients which enter into DR.. Pierce s
medicines. A copy of this little book
is mailed free to any one desiring to
learn more concerning the valuable,
native, medicinal plants which enter
into the composition of DR.. Pierce
medicines. Address DR.. Pierce as
above.

WALL STREETS NERVES MAKE DOCTORS RICH

nished a text for pleasantries to
those who did not know that he paid

Alcohol has no place in this kind
of regimen. The doctors do not need
to forbid it, for those who need medi-
cal care know we'll that artificial
stimulation of that kind would break
their health faster than medical skill
could repair it. The use of tobacco
is general among such men, and it
is not discouraged by their advisers.
Exactly what arrangement hap

To say that the stomach is weakened
by reason of nervous strain or worry
is only a partial diagnosis. Often the
kidneys are involved; frequently the
heart and the arteries become easy
prey to imperfect nutrition.
Death from apopleXy is more COM

troubles. Nervous strain may easily
be accepted as the primal cause of
the disorders that aff1ict them, but
the complications that ensue are al
most as diverse as the individuals

living, and fortunes are spent every

FLOWING WITH AN ENGINE.
Demonstration Given on Farm in
West Dougherty.

West DOugherty.
From the Albany Herald.
A demonstration of blowing by ma
chinery is being held today on the
farm of DR.. ]. w. Gillespie, in west
Dougherty, in which the farmers of
/ this section are evincing a great deal
of interest.
The blowing is being done by a
gasoline traction engine, pulling a
large disk plOw. The pillow is pro-
vided with seven disks, which turn
over the soil to the width of five feet
at one time.
There have been previous demon
strations of power blowing in this
section, but they have not been en-
tirely successful on account of the
sandy condition of the soil, which
makes it difficult to operate a heavy
traction engine. At the demonstra
ton begun today on DR.. Gillespie's
place, however, it is expected to show
the practicability of blowing in sandy
soil with this particular make of
traction engine used in connection
with disk pillow.
1t is acknowledged that the use of
the traction engine and disk pillow has
revolutionized farming methods in
many sections of the country where
the system has been generally adopt
ed, and it is realized that if an out
fit can be secured that can be used
to advantage in the loose and sandy
soil of this section it will solve
problem that has given the farmers
of southwest Georgia much worry
The traction engine being used in
the demonstration now going on at
DR.. Gillespie's place passed through
the streets yesterday afternoon I'M
der it's own power, pulling the large
disk pillow to the scene of the demon
stration.

BULLS AND BEARS DIE YOUNG

Stomach Usually Gives Way Under
Nervous Strain of Money Making.
SaIaried Doctors Restrict the Me-
nu, and the Taste For Butte1mill1
Is Shared With Common Folk BY
the Rich.
NEW YORK.-This community
has developed in recent years a
special class of physicians who in a
<own of fewer democratic profess
IONS might attach to their signs
he proud testimonial, BY special
appointment to Wall street" They
minister to stomachs that have
burned out their vitality in mad
hunt for dollars. Some of them have
only single patient, like those who
devote themselves to men like John
D. Rockefeller and Edward H. Harri-
man.
Others are engaged for given
periods and accompany their patients
in travel, and nearly all are under
retainer which enables them to re-
strict their practice to the few who
assure them better income than they
could get if they were at the call of
all Corners. They maintain estab-
lishments in the choice residential
quarters and must live with all the
outward show of the wealthy to
whom they cater.
Bulls and Bears Die Young.
The kind of breakdown that de-
stroys the normal appetite and which
Wall street induces may be classed
as one of the burdens of wealth.
Green old age is more of a rarity in
the quarter where bulls and bears
disport themselves than it is where
wrinkled and withered poverty is
found, showing that the ailments for
which the majority place themselves
under treatment are permitted only
to the rich.
When men go broke the first lux
ury to be laid aside is the doctor. 81,
Good sense or necessity then pre-
scribes a regimen that enables them
to worry along with their ills minus
professional observation. The doctor
is like a confessor, a relief to the
mind as well as to the body, and the
rich keep him to do their health
thinking for them.
If the best known names were Sc
lected from the offices in the Wall
street district they would furnish a
fairly accurate list of those whom the
specialists are treating. There are
few sound stOmachs in the lot, and
they grade from cases of aggravated
debility like Mr.. Harriman's to the
kind that does not rebel at being
filled, provided the food is carefully
selected, like that of John w. Gates.
Even Gates a Simple LITER.
Men like Mr. Gates give the inn
preston to the observer that they
lat everything. On the contrary,
only plain food is allowed them;
they must avoid spices and sauces
and the fanciful connections for
which the chefs draw high salaries.
There are many whose digestive APP
paratus rebels at meat, but who may
partake freely of vegetables; others
who dare trust themselves with only
the merest bite at midday, and 9TH
ers who can take little more than
invalid food.
