ATTENTION TO MUzztEs

Six more dogs were absent from the
voll call this afternoon when the po-
lice returned from dog search. They
were killed on the north and east sides

Dog owners must secure proper
muzzles for their dogs or they will be
shot like the rest of them" said Chief
Austgen. this morning. THE law re-
quires a heavy wire muzzle and must
be tied or strapped so they cannot come
loose. Some of the dog owners have
leather muzzles on their dogs, and ii
is possible for some of them to open
their jaws as far as If they didn't have
any muzzle on at all. A dog is a dog
and not one better than the other when
they are mad and the public must be
protected

VERDICT
IS NOT YET
GIVEN OUT

While Coroner T. NJ. Shankiin is not
yet ready to give his verdict in the in
quest for Henry Krogman, the farmer
who was accidentally killed on the Erie
grade crossing outside of the south city
limits last Saturday. he has decided
to make a recommendation to the coun-
ty commissioners which, If carried out.
will partially eliminate chances for ac-
cidents such as occurred on Saturday
Inasmuch as the Erie and the c. &
o. railroad tracks run parallel in
northwesterly direction, Coroner
Shanklin will suggest that the commits
sioners buy a strip of land for a high
way, this highway to be located south
of the tracks and to run parallel with
them and thus connect the Ridge road
and Columbia avenue In this way all
the traffic the Ridge road intending
to go south on Columbia avenue and
vice versa would avoid the two deadly
grade crossings. The Ridge road rum
ming east and west and Columbia ave-
nue. running north and south intersect
within a short distance of the tracks.
Testimony Conflicts.
The testimony of the various wit
nesses who testified at the coroner's in
quest was conflicting on the question
whether the engineer. William Mcclure.
blew his whistle for the crossing. He
himself says he blew the whistle for
the first crossing, that the second cross
ing had been reached and the accident
happened before he could blow the
second crossing whistle or whistle for
the tower.
His fireman, A. l. Christ. says that
he heard the crossing whistle and the
| tower whistle.
The brakeman. w. L. Donkin, said he
| heard the stock alarm whistle. The
| engineer said he blew his whistle aft
| er the accident TO signal the crew that
| he would back up the train.
/ p. A. Parry. one of the eye-witnesses
| to the accident testified that he was
! positive that whistle whatever was
sounded, and that the train was going
at fully sixty miles an hour. He was
! positive in both statements and quail
/ fed them both
| Mcclure and Christ SAID they were
| running at the rate of forty miles an
| hour, on schedule time, while Donkin
1 said that he thought the train was GO
] ing about twenty miles an hour.

with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered With
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began ~ pimples. his little
face was disngured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless 1t night, his lktle face
itched.
We consulted two doctors q Chi.
cago. where We resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, We
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and
ut once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment Following tho directions
carefully and promptly We saw the
result. and after four weeks. the dear
child's face was ~ nne and clean a.

ENGINE HITS SLEEPER
RESPONSIBILITY FOR WRECK
HAS NOT BEEN DETER
MINED DEFINITELY.
Western N.w.p.p.r Union New. Service.

Odessa, Minn.-Twelve persons were
killed and a score injured in . col.
Hsion here when the second section
OF the Columbian Flyer. from the Pa.
cific Coast, bound for st. Paul. on
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road. crashed into the rear end Of the
first section of that train.
The engine of the second section,
which was hauling a special consign-
ment OF silk, tore its way almost to
the middle OF the sleeper on the rear
Of tho first section.
The sleeper. hurled forward by the
impact. was stripped from the front
end by the diner. the next coach
ahead. almost to the point where the
engine had stopped its destructive
plowing. The rear OF the diner and
the pilot OF the engine thus almost
touched. Those who escaped death
were in this small clear space.
The sleeper did not leave the right
Of way. nor was either car twisted. No
other cars suffered more than slight
damage. Their steel construction had
been put to supreme test and it was
demonstrated that even steel cars
may be telescoped.
Responsibility for the wreck has not
been determined definitely. but is said
to rest between the operator at Orton.
Vile Junction. who, 1t 10 asserted,
should not have permitted the silk
train to enter the block in which there
was a train; the operator who. it 10
said. failed to lift the stop signal for
the flyer and the flagman of the flyer.
who. 1t Is claimed. failed to protect
the rear OF his train after it had

CIVIL WAR RACES IN ZION

ZION CITi.-DOWieites, under the leadership of Wilbur Glenn Voliva, who succeeded John Alexander Dowie as the titular head of the sect bear ing Dowie's name. threaten civil war or armed insurrection against the authorities of the state of Illinois. The state board of health has or dered that every citizen of Zion be to resist the order to the death"
 Internecine strife also exists, re- sulting in rioting in the streets. Arm ed guards have been posted to pre- vent an outbreak by the "independ ents," or anti-Volivaites, who are holding a meeting today in the tab ernacle.
 Voliva has decided to post a guard with drum in the taber- nacle The appearance of the state vaccination squad will be the signal for the guard to beat the drum, sum- mOning Zionists to the tabernacle armed and prepared to resist tlc physicians of the state health board.
 A similar signal will also call the faithful together to resist any move ment on the part Of the independents.
 The Voliva faction favors follow ing the rigid rules enacted by John Alexander Dowie, when he was in absolute control of the city, proh.b- iting smoking, oysters, soda water. drugs, pork, dancing and other amaSe ments. The independents are in fa- vor of much laxity.
 Two years ago the independents were successful in placing members of their faction in many important city offices Since that time pork. cigars, cigarettes, drugs and many other things tabooed by Dowie have been sold.
 Last week. by purchase, Vollva se- cured control of the city. He caus- ed to be posted in conspicuous place sign bearing the legend:
 Zion City. the perfect city. No tobacco. no whisky, no drugs, no theaters. no doctors, no pork, no oysters. It is clean city for clean people,"
 Later Voliva, with five hundred ad- herents, paraded the streets and was attacked by the independents. Last night giant negros, armed with ri- fies, guarded the sign posted by Vol iva. and this morning hey were re- lieved by four armed men.
 Voliva. after an interview today, said that guards would be maintain. ed until after election, when the or
