broken tire, was one of the most spec
tacular ever seen on a motor track.
Four cars had started In the 50-mile
race. A broken valve spring had elm
mated Barney Oldfields Knox. Mar
quis, in the Isotta, had taken the lead,
closely followed by Hanshue. A bad
tire had cost Livingston's Stoddard-
Dayton five miles. Hanshue was chas-
Ing the Isotta, while Livingston was
trying hard to pass the Apperson. The

HINTON FARMER IS
KILLED BY TRAIN
Freight Crashed Into Rig ano
Throws James Nash so Feet
to His Death.

Hinton, Ia, April 13.--James Nash
q well to do farmer living five miles
east Of here, was instantly killed Sat
urday night at about 10:45 p. m. while
crossing the tracks used by the North

struck by the engine of freight train

bound at the crossing on the south side
Of the Illinois Central station while the
train was under practically full speed
throwing him with the buggy fully SO
feet, and he was dead when picked up
by parties who witnessed the accident
The horse was thrown to the opposite
side Of the track at least IS to 70 feet
and also killed. Coroner Belly, of Lee
Mars, will this afternoon hold an in
quest over the dead man.
Ira Pearson and two other parties
were standing within a few feet of the
crossing when the accident occurred,
They saw the approaching train and
also saw Mr.. Nash as he turned the
corner approaching the crossing, but
supposed that he was going to check
his horse before reaching the track, as
the train was close upon him. AS the
horse reached the track he slackened
speed and Mr.. Nash was seen to rise
from his seat and surge back on the
reins with the evident purpose of pull
ing the horse from the track At this
time the engine was within four feet
Of the rig and Immediately struck 1t,
throwing the man and the crushed
buggy to the right of the track and the
horse and part of the harness to the
left. Engineer F. j. Anderson and
Conductor c. e. Kilborne succeeded in
stopping the train by the time the ca
boose had reached the southern part
OF the yards. They will testify at the
investigation today.

MARX TwAlws CLOTHES.
The Great Humorst Always Had 4
Relish For Personal Eject.


At the time of our first meeting
Mark Twain was wearing a seais6in
coat, with the fur out, in the salts
faction of caprice or the love of
strong effect which he was apt TO in
dulge through life. Fields, the publish
er, was present.
| do not know what droll comment
was in Fields mind with respect to
this garment. but probably he felt
that here was an original who was
not to be brought to any BoStoniau
book in the Judgment of his vivid
qualities. With his crest of dense red
hair and the wide sweep OF his tam
ing mustache Clemens was not dis
cordantly clothed in that sealskin coat
which afterward, In spite of his own
warmth in 1t, sent the cold chills
through me when | ence accompanied
1t down Broadway, and shared the
immense publicity it won him.
Clemens had always relish for per-
sonal effect, which expressed itself in
the white suit of complete serge which
he wore In his last years and In the
Oxford gown which he put on for
every possible occasion and said he
would like to wear all the time That
was not vanity in him, but Keen feel
Ing for costume which the severity Of
our modern tailoring forblds men,

cess in it.-W. D, Howells in Uar-

The Cow Decided.

A peasant living in the village of
Predeal, near the hungarian frontier,
lost his COW. About two months ago
he happened to. be standing at the
railroad station watching a train load
of cattle about to be sent across the
frontier. Suddenly he gave a shout
"That's my cow" he cried, running
toward one of the cars.
The trainmen only laughed at him,
and he went before the magistrate.
This good man listened to the peas
ants story patiently. Then he pro
nounced this Judgment: The COW shall
be taken to the public square Of Pre-,
deal and MIXED Then If it goes Of its
own accord to the plaintiffs stable it
shall belong to him"
The order of the court was carried
out, and the COW, in spite of its ten
months absence, took without hesita-
tion the lane which led it a few min
utes later into the PEASANTS STABLE

CRADLEBAUGH
CAMPAIGN SONG

John H. Cradlebaugh, editor of The
Glacier some years ago, was noted for
his clever manipulation of the witty
pen and one of his latest etfusions is a
defense in verse of Col. h. Hofer,
editor of the Salem Capital Journal
and antiassembly candidate for Cover
| nor, who prayed for rain last year.
The poem entitled ''Not Rain But Hail
Needed" follows:
The mossback Oregonian in its desire
| for rain
Appeals to Colonel Hofer in a splay-
| footed refrain,
In which it asks him to take charge
of weather clerks affairs,
And try to break the tiresome dr)uth
by his unaided prayers.
1t asks him that he put an end to all
the fires and smoke
To get down to strict business and to
cease to be joke.
1t is fattering to the Colonel that it
picks him as the one
BY whom, for all of Oregon, the pray
ing should be done.
But why don't be consistent and in
stead OF just one man
Procure the prayers it needs so much,
on "the Assembly plan?''
Of course, it can't approach the throne
with out ago-between
And no one man is big enough-That
job needs "a Machine.
How can the Oregonian suggest that
one man pray
Without delegation to prescribe what
he shall say?
Does it not know that earnest prayer,
although in secret done,
Is but the souls expression of religious
Statement One?
Does it, by implication even, admit
there is power
That governs all mundane affairs
that's higher than its tower?
Pay no attention Colonel, to the Ore
gonian's smoke,
And remember that if you're jest,
it cannot take joke.
A rain just now would interfere with
picking prunes and hops
And would not do bit of good to any
other crops;
And up on the crops of shams, apply
your biggest fail
1t isn't rain that paper needs, so
Colonel "give it hail. "
Your complexion as well as your
temper is rendered miserable by a dis
ordered liver. By taking Chamberlain s
Stomach and Liver Tablets you can inn
prove both. Sold by all druggists

Strange as it may seem. the elephant
is passlonateIy fond Of Gnery and de-
lights to see himself decked out with
gorgeous trappings. The native princes
Of India are very particular in choos-
ing their state elephants and will give
fabulous sums for an animal that ex-
actly meets the somewhat fanciful
standards they have erected For
these they have made cloths Of silk so
heavily embroidered with gold that
two men are hardly able to lift them.
