The snow storm Saturday night
and Sunday "tied up" some of the
trains running into Lane lster but the
blockade did not last long. The noon
train from Milwaukee Sunday was
behind a wrecking train out of Fen
nimore which was Stuck between
Fennimore and Montfort and double
header and snow pillow was sent out
from here to clear the way. The
mail, baggage and passengers were
transferred to another train and
brought to this city arriving at about
Z O'Clock. The Milwaukee train was
sent back. There was no outgoing
train Sunday. With the exception of
these trains and the noon and after
noon trains Monday, each of which
were about hours late, railroad
traffic out of here was not impeded to
any considerable extent. The rail
road companies met with their great
est trouble on the main lines. The
highways were not badly blockaded,
the stages arrived in good time and
the carriers had little trouble In
getting around their routes.

SAY THEIR SLATE IS CLEAN.
This account has been locked for
and will be an important factor in
the work of investigation to be carried
on next week. Senator Stephenson
declares that the total amount placed
in the hands of his chairman for ex-
penses was Ill, 385. 40 of which the
above amount was spent. Various
names are given as the organizers but
it is the belief of the senator's friends
that can show clean slate.
THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
It is largely game Of politics. I'm

Senator Blaine against Senator
Stephenson. three lawyer members of

Yesterday was the time set for the
investigation to begin and all OF the
candidates in the late SENATORIAL
primary Stephenson, Cook, Hatton
and McGovern. were instructed to be-
present to show up particulars con-
corning their expense accounts. They
fled statements last fall showing ex
pensesa accounts as follows: Cook
$50, O1O. 72; Hatton $26, 413.08 Nc
Govern 81, O63 88.
A new feature has been injected
into the subject by Senator Lehr, who
contends that the investigation is a
party affair. for political purposes
only, and the expense of investigation
cannot legally and properly be saddled
upon the state. He threatens, as
soon as an appropriation is made to
provide for this expense, to spring a
resolution for an injunction restrain
ing it. The next few days are likely
to be lively in the development of
interesting features.

to make the island where the horse and buggy was, taking them to the next island below, being able to do SC through his thorough knowledge of the channel and the currents. From that point he managed to circle from the south side of the big island. around the little one and back up toward the ford again, bringing the light righ back to this bank of the river.
 Lindstrom was practically helpless without his crutches, but was joined later by Simpson. A Mexican wood hauler who was coming toward Phoe- nix from the south side. and knew the river currents and the river bed. drove to the big island and got the men, then circled around much as the Indian had done, and brought them back to this side of the stream.
 This is the same crossing where Myrtle Brown of Globe was drowned and her companion all but drowned, fs probably the place the Chinaman was drowned a few days later. and has been the scene of a dozen narrow es- capes in the last few weeks. It has always been considered the best cross ing, but no crossing on Salt river can be considered safe when there IS much water flowing.

PENSION BUILDING A
 DREAM 'OF FARMLAND
Taft Seemed to Be Unmindful of Sc rious Things.

Washington, March 4.-Magnificent in its splendor and presenting a scene of rare beauty, the inaugural ball to- night was the climax of the day of triumphs for President Taft. Tn the vast hall of the pension building, re- sembling a dream of fairyland, min gled with fair women, beautifully .gowned and from every cline, men whose names are known in every cor ner of the world; diplomats in court raiment. statesmen in soTnber attire, officers of the army and navy in gor- geous uniforms, and ordinary citizens whose presence testified to the democ- racy of the affair.
 President Taft appeared especially light and unmindful of serious things, as he and Mrs. Taft, with Vice President and Mrs. Sherman, made their promenade around the great hall. where on every side they were flanked by members of the reception commit tee. Dancing was indulged in as the hours progressed, but this was impos- sible earlier in the evening because of the dense crowd, conservatively es- timated at 10000. At 10 o'clock the presidential and vice presidential par ties went to supper.

The sale of the Cooper preparation in New York will no longer oe con fined to the one store where Cooper has been meeting the puDblic. For the past week Cooper says more people have called to talk with him than could be taken care of at one store and he has therefore decided on a change of plans
 In speaking of this change he said: q have realized for some time that I would have to relieve the congestion at this store, as the number of people who call has been increasing each day, until it is almost impossible to see them all, especially at certain hours in the day. Beginning Saturday, my prep aratiOn vii be on sale at all drug stores in Greater New York
 By Saturday most druggists will have the medicine in stock and those who have not obtained it can easily order if for their customers. I shall continue to meet the public daily as heretofore.

D|TCHEO BY A BRONC
 0N PUBLIC HIGHWAY
Harry Friedman Has Another Close
 Gall in the Horse Business.

The fact that Harry Friedman has
 a strawberry mark about the size
 of a ham on his picturesque fore
 front that would be less in evidence
 had he used more herpicide, and the
 further facts that his nose is skin
 ned and the blood channels that irri-
 gate his eyes are more or less clog
 ged, does not indicate that he called anybody a liar or that he is training for the prize ring It is only the evidence that he had another mix up
 with a horse and strengthens the
 theory that a horse will kill him some day unless he selects some other means of dissolution.
 It happened at Six Points. He was driving a spirited half broken
 animal into town from the experi- ment farm. That is he thought he
 was, though it appears that the horse was setting his own pace, re- gardless, and it was lively one.
 MT. Friedman was merely sitting in
 the buggy and holding the lines. At
 Six Points he saw pr. Thomas rap l idly approaching in his automobile. Thinking to escape the machine.
 which he assumed was going out l the avenue, ne IuTntu Suuutniy lp-
 ward the Christy road, which the machine chanced to be headed for also This coup stopped him from running into the machine, for the | turn was so sudden, due to an un expected cooperation of the horse, that the buggy was thrown topple side whoppermost and the driver" went out one side. In his flight he gave one line a jerk and the horse went down the other way, hors Gel du combat
 Dr. Thomas stopped his machine and sat on the head of MT. Fried mans horse until Harry was able to get up and again assume charge of the situation, which he did in due time, righted the vehicle and drove proudly into town. The horse meantime had been broken in spirit and thinks he got the worse of the mix-up. NIT. Friedman thinks the accident was a good thing-for the horse, and hopes he will never find out that he didn't get the worst of it

NARROW ESCAPES AT
 THE GRAY CROSSING
O. R. Lindstrom and A. Simpson Had the Swim of Their Lives and for Their Lives.

The only way person can deal with Salt river and be sure of getting away alive is not to deal with it, and the only way to cross the stream with any assurance of safety is at ride over it on a train. The Gray crossing at the foot of Seventh street, in former times considered the safest on the river, is fast getting the reputation os becom- ing the most dangerous one. Two more men had a hair breadth escape there Tuesday morning and would certainly have drowned had they not been good swimmers. and all but went under any. how. As it was. they drifted down stream several hundred yards and only saved themselves by getting on an island.
 The men were O. R. Lindstrom and A Simpson, the former being a cripple and going about on crutches, due to the breaking of his leg several weeks ago Otherwise he is a big. athletic young man and a fine swimmer He says he does not remember whether he used his broken leg or not, but imag- ines he did, though he seems to have suffered no further injury to the mem Der by his experience in the water.
 The men started across the river in a buggy early Tuesday morning. Neither was familiar with the ford, but they saw others crossing and. waiting their opportunity, followed an other vehicle into the stream. The water was up around the box of the buggy. but the ford seemed safe enough until they reached a certain point when their rig got about two feet further down stream than the one ahead, the wheel on the right side dropped into hole or over step-off, the vehicle capsized and the horses turned turtle
 Both men wore. heavy overcoats. which do not make a good swimming costume, but they fell clear of the wreck and began swimming. The water was seemingly over their depth most Of the time, or if not it was so swift they could not stand against it. They devoted themselves to keeping the water out of their lungs and stay ing on top enough of the time to breathe, using their knowledge of swimming to the best advantage in directing their drifting course toward a big island below, and almost as far down as the Center street crossing.
 The horses fared rather better, be- ing able to make a little island not far away, with the buggy which right ed itself again. LindstTom managed to land at the upper end of the larger island below, while Simpson got a foothoId on the lower end of the same island, several hundred yards further down An Indian who was on horse -s.1 fl,.a v-fr- nit the incident and riding in he managed

 People in cites like New York can't take enough exercise in the fresh air, and they will persist in hurriedly eat ing a great deal of food and only half chewing it. The consequence is that about half of them are nervous, thin, pale and lacking in vitality. They have little energy and no stamina. What they need is something to make the gastric juices active and Virile. When this is done they begin to as simulate their food, which affords them the nourishment they need and the tired. listless. wornout feeling dlsap- pears.
