VICTIMS Or ACCIDENT AT REST

knew, on account Of the awful ac
cident Tuesday morning at Black
bird bridge near Unionville, il
which William FL. Woods and Viii
liam n Phillips were Instantly kill
ed and Sam Tapscott, w. y. Mat
sell and Bert McKisson of Lacledt
and Chas. Barnhart of Sumner
were seriously injured by the fall,
ing Of the BOOM, a long, heavy
beam of wood used by the bridge
crew u picking mp heavy timbers.
The bridge crew had just com
pleted anew bridge at Blackbird
and had been ordered to pick up
the material taken from the old
bridge. When the train started
through the bridge the boom, which
was held BY ropes, was raised a
few inches too high and the over
head part of the bridge caught and
broke the rope, letting the boom
fall. and six Of the eleven men on
the car were caught under it.
The train was at once run to
UnionviIle, where everything pos
sible was done for the injured men
and the dead were prepared for rel
aoval 10 their homes here. The
dead and injured men, except Mr..
Tapscott, who was most seriously.
hurt, were brought down on a
special train the same evening.
Mr. Tapscott was brought home
Thursday afternoon. His skull
was fractured and he was uncon-
sciods nearly two days, and his
condition is still critical Mr..
MatseIl has five ribs broken and
was also badly bruised, but he
seems to be getting along all right.
Mr.. McKisson was injured about
the neck and shoulders but is inn
proving rapidly. Mr.. Barnhart,
who suffered a broken leg and a.
fractured shoulder, is also improv-
ing and will recover.
The coroner's jury found that
the accident was caused by negli-
gence, but did not fix the response
biiity upon any one. The men all
seem to have the thought that the
boom was low enough and no one
seems to have had any thought of
danger. There seems to have been
nothing on the train by which to
gauge the height to which it could
safely be raised. Whatever the
eanse, this accident was an awful
one and has filed the whole com
mnnity with deepest sorrow

that was in their power to relieve

He Amnsed the Cubs.

A negro attached to an African hunt
ing party met with a curious adven-
ture, says an English paper Wander
ing one day from camp, he surprised
two lion cubs at play and thoughtless-
ly commenced to amuse them. He was
only too successful. The big cubs gam
boiled fearlessly about him and to his
dismay refused to desist when he
wished to leave them.
Realizing the danger to which he
would be exposed should the mother
appear. he began to run, but the cubs
refused to be shaken off and in their
play scratched his legs in fearful
fashion.
That the creatures were thoroughly
enjoying themselves was evident from
their manifestations of delight, and
before long their unusual cries brought
a lioness leaping to the spot.
Trembling in every limb, the negro
faced the growing animal. while the
cubs continued to jump up at him,
eager for further caresses. The en-
ragged lioness moved round uneasily
in a circle, man and beast keeping
their eyes steadily on each other. Sew
eral times the lioness crouched TO
spring, but the man, from fear, never
shifted his gaze.
At length, after what seemed an age,
when the negro was ready to drop
from exhaustion, the animal suddenly
called her subs away and disappeared
into the surrounding scrub

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

IT have seen the Cutcura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every IN
stance, ! always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that Of q lady friend
of mine who, when q child, was az
flicted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not 60 to school as the disfigure-
ment looked terrible. told her to get
at once q set Of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use Of only one set she was
perfectly well.
"A grown lady friend was afiicted
with salt rheum in one Of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms Of her hands
every fall Of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
/ have also seen them cure children
Of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and / used the Cuticura Oint-
ment. It made his arm as timber and

Last May had IN ingrowing toe

Of course applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment to the part affected. It soothed
It and in less than ten nights 1t was
all healed through constant use Of the
Ointment. Ten days ago had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil

completely cured them. have Just

mash. The main advantage Of this
method Is the extra labor involved. In
a wellarranged house when u dry
mash Is fed in hoppers one man can
feed 1000 hens In about half hour.
AS ordinarily fed wet mash for 1000
birds requires at least two hours for
mixing and distributing the feed.
Roughage for Hens.
Where alfalfa meal is fed the de-
mand for succulent roughage is de-
creased. Even in this case, however,
the addition OF succulent clover or al.
falfa hay is beneficial. Root crops
play an important role in the dietary
OF poultry. Mangels may be fed en-
tire once day in troughs. Cabbages
are best fed by suspending them by
cords to keep them clean. An add.
tional advantage is obtained here
through the extra exercise necessary
for the fowl to secure the feed. Where
available sprouted oats can be fed.
Carrots In small amounts are very
palatable and tempting to the flock.
Glover char can be fed wet or dry
and is very economical egg producer.
Begin to feed the green stun and
mangles as early in the autumn as pos.
sible.
Glover Good for Poultry.
Steaming clover hay increases It's
palatability greatly. II free from long
fiber, clover is an excellent feed to mix
with bran, table scraps, or with reg.
ular mash. A convenient way Of hand.
ling the poultry flock is to thoroughly
bed down the house with straw In the
fall and then to add forkful Of clover
or alfalfa hay every day until the lit.
ter begins to get dirty. The house
should then be cleaned. the straw re.
placed by clean litter. and the daily
forkful of clover or alfalfa continued.
The Importance Of litter cannot be
overestimated as a means OF com.
polling the birds to exercise in oh.
tanning their food. A generous allow
ance of corn mixed with the litter
works out excellently for winter feed

Many poultry raisers make radical
mistakes in changing their fowls from
summer to winter rations. They do
not appreciate the Importance OF
maintaining the proper proportions OF
meat and succulent feed in the win
ter ration and above all of supplying
these constituents to the birds imme-
diately at the beginning Of cold
weather. During summer the birds
catch and eat an abundance OF grass
hoppers and in addition have a large
supply Of green food constantly avail.
able so that all their wants are salts
fed. Just as soon as extensive ranging
is prevented by cold weather the feed
er should begin to supply succulent
feed. such as alfalfa, roots and clover
hay and beef scraps in the ration 30
