name is at the city hospital suffer
ing from injuries received by being
rolled between two cars while work
ing at Silvis Thursday afternoon at
4:30. He was employed on the out
side of a car when a switch engine
pushed a string of cars down against
it. To prevent being run over he
backed up against car standing on
the next track, but the space was only
nine inches wide and, being heavy
man he was crushed. The crew of
the engine saw his predicament in
time to stop before fatal injuries had
been inflicted. DR.. A. c. Hanson, who
attended the victim. says his chest
and abdomen show the effects of Sc

TRIES TO CROSS
AHEAD OF auto
Eight year-old Elsie Swanson
Is Knocked Down and Ser
iously Injured.

Deciding at the last moment to
cross the street in front of an ap-
preaching automobile S-year-old Elsie
Swanson was knocked down last
evening and painfully injured. Had the
car been travelling a little faster the
accident probably would have been
fatal. AS it is the victim probably
will be able to be out in a few days.
The little girl, who is a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Swanson, 1920
Seventeenth street, was playing with
other children under an arc lamp at
Twelfth avenue and Eighth street
about s o'clock. Seeing an automo-
bile driven by G. L. Carlson approach
ing the children scattered. Elsie
lodged into the street, but later de-
cided to go to the curb and without
pausing to consider the danger, she
rushed in front of the machine. The
wheel failed to strike Fer or it is like
" that she would have been killed.
She was bruised about the abdomen.
Children playing in this vicinity
have given motorists a good deal of
trouble lately. Tuesday evening po-
liceman was called to drive them out
of the street, but last night they were
back.

BUSCH TOO MUCH
FOR H. TEMPLETON
Vinton Man Takes Two Straight
Falls in Exhibition at the
Moline Theatre.

Carl Busch of Vinton, Iowa, proved
a better man than Harry Templeton
of Omaha in the final match of the
wrestling program at the Moline the
atre last evening. While Templeton
was the heavier he lacked in exper-
fence and did not show the strength
of his adversary. The contest was
one of the best ever seen here, how
ever. Busch secured the first fall
in II minutes with a half nelson and
body hold and the second in Is min
utes 43 seconds with double body
arm lock.
fhe bill was opened with a con-
test between Alex Bean of this city
and a Burlington grappler named Dav-
idson, who went on in place of Erick-
SON Bean secured the first fall in
IL minutes and the second bout was
stopped at the end of 80 minutes be-
cause of lack of time to see 1t to a

Medals and Decorations.
The great Pasteur gracefully accept
ed all decorations. While he had pas

ironicaI criticism of the distinctions es-

FORMER MOLINE
man A SUICIDE
Jan Palcovic Shoots Himself at
Cedar Rapids Because
Despondent.
BODY LIES FOR TWO DAYS
Identified by Letters and Insurance
Policy Issued by Lodge in
This City.

Out of work and out of money, with
his watch pawned and the future dark,
Jan Palcovic, who formerly lived at
S12 Twelfth street. Moline, went to a
secluded spot in the outskirts of Cedar
Rapids. Iowa, and shot himself early
this week. The body was found yes
terday morning by boys who were
playing on the bank of Cedar river.
He was identified by letters in his
pockets which had been sent to him
at the address given and by an in
surance police in the Jednaty Taboritu
society for 5000, taken out in Moline
April 13 last, signed by Anton Pesout,
supreme president, and Frank J. Hol-
man, supreme secretary of the order,

spectively. president and secretary of

wife, Zuza Palcovic, and his daughter
Palcovic had been in Cedar Rapids
several weeks rooming a. 1113 South
First street. He bought a revolver
but a short time before he is supposed
to have shot himself. Powder burns
on the clothing indicated self-destruc-
ton. Two bullets were fired into the
breast just over the heart
No gun was found by the authori-
ties and 1t is supposed that the suicide,
after shooting himself, walked some
distance before falling to the ground.
When he did fall he was hidden by
bushes so the body remained undis-
covered for two or three days. In the
meantime it is probable that some
body was passing the spot where the
shooting was done found the revolver
Palcovic was of middle age and ex-
ceptionally we'll built, having the de-
of an athlete.

To the average man II is inconceiv-
able for iron or steel chips TO actually
burn as so much infiammable material.
but nevertheless such is possible. and
such incidents are the part OF positive
record. This phenomenon is explained
by the fact that finely divided iron or
steel may sometimes oxidize faster
than IL can get rid of its heat and
consequently gives signs OF complete
combustion.

The proper care of the feet is Of
much greater importance to the pre-
seryation of the health than many
people imagine, Many of the minor
iseases, as well as those of a more
serious character, can be traced d.
rectly to the improper care of the
feet.
Wet feet were regarded by our pa.
rents as an almost certain cause of
colds, sore throat and kindred ills.
They wore thick soled shoes or goi-
oshes that protected their feet. in
our race for the beautiful We are in -.
clined to neglect the utility of some
OF our wearing apparel especially the
shoes. 1t is very common even in win
ter to see youthful maidens standing
on cold corner well wrapped in furs
but with their feet poorly protected
by thin silk hose and light "oxfords. 4"
No wonder we hear the constant crv
of colds" and sore throat" The feet
and ankles should be well protected
in cold and damp weather if one would
avoid sickness.
Corns and bunions, although usual
ly laid to tight shoes, are due more t.
ill-ftting shoes, especially to pointed
toed shoes. The natural foot does not
merge to a point at the toe, but is
nearly as broad there as at the ball,
yet the majority of shoes are so con-
that they crowd the toes to-
gether and throw the foot out Of
shape. Pressure from the shoe is ex-
erted on the points and bunions and
corns result.
Cold feet are the bane of many, es-
pecially the elderly. These usually
can be remedied by wearing proper
shoes that do not construct nor bind
and by giving some attention to the
hose worn. Some people have found
that although their feet were cold n
hose they were very comfort
able in medium weight cotton hose
If the feet perspire readily this cools
them and a lighter weight hose should
be worn.

AFTER COUGHING MONTHS

Did you ever cough for a week?
Then just think how distressing it
must be to have a cough hang on for

Mrs. Maria Primrose, of 81 Newell

had a very heavy cold which settled
into chronic cough which kept me
awake nights for fully three months,

of taking your cod liver and iron

RAINS NECESSITATE The
REPLANTING OF CROP
Corn Badly Damaged by the
Weather

That the greater part of the coen
crop of Sumter which was planted
during the past few weeks will have
to be replanted, is the information re-
ceived from many of the country dis
tricts. The recent rains packed the
ground to such an extent as to make
it almost impossible for the corn to
come up while in sandy lands the
dirt has covered the young corn, nee
essitating replanting of the fields.
Mr.. ]. M. Duckworth, a successful
planter, who always produces all the
corn consumed upon his farm, was in
the city Thursday and stated that he
would pillow up and replant his entire
crop, in order to insure a better re-
suit in yield and more uniform stand.
While some of the crop can, and
doubtless will, be replanted, only the
places, farmers as a rule deem
it more expedient to do the work
again entirely, thus securing better
results in the crop harvest.
