TWO STATES HEAVY
LOSERS BY FROST
Maryland and Michigan Have
Crops Ruined.

Reports just received in Washing
ton from many OF the large fruit
and vegetable growing sections of the
east, extending from Michigan to the
Atlantic seaboard, indicate a wide
spread devastation through heavy
frosts in the last few days. The
latest and most unexpected news of
blight from this source is from Mary
land.
Reports received covering all Sec
tons of Maryland indicate that the
frost of the last two nights has in
fiicted heavy damage to truck farm
ers. The tomato crop appears to be
the hardest hit, although all kinds of
vegetables suffered. In some of the
counties the early peaches are re-
ported killed.
From southwestern Michigan come
reports that competent fruit growers
declare that one-half of the promised
bumper crop of everything but late
fall apples was killed by the freeze
of Friday and Saturday nights.
There will be no early strawberries
or pears, they say, though the later
varieties were less seriously affected.
Smudging was resorted to in many
places, but generally proved ineffectu-
al. The damage along the Lake Mich.
igan shore was less severe than in
the interior
Reports of lesser damage come
from many other points.

CATTLE CREMATED
Wreck on Pennsylvania Line Is
Followed by Fire.
FARMERS GO TO THE RESCUE

Believing of the Frantic Animals Pen
ned in the Blazing Cars Heard for
Miles After the Accident Near Fort
Wayne, Ind.-Brakeman Blown on
Roof of Car.
A bad wreck, in which a tank car
filed with oil exploded just as a
swiftly moving stock train was pass
ing on an adjoining track, six miles
east of Fort Wayne, Ind, caused a
general tie-up for hours of through
east and west bound traffic on the
Pennsylvania lines.
One man was blown from the toE
of the train and badly injured.
Blazing Oil Fires Train,
The blazing oil fired the stock
train, and before members of the car
crews of both trains and firemen could
eXtinguish the flames ten carloads OF
live stock had been burned to deaIh
The believing of the panic stricken
and frantic cattle was heard for miles
and attracted many farmers who
fought the flames.
The animals plunged, gored, kicked
and rushed against the side of the
cars in desperate efforts to liberate
themselves and escape the onrushing
flames and the smoke.
Ten Cars of Stock Destroyed.
Before locomotives could be hitched
to the cars to draw them away from
the danger zone ten of the stock cars
containing the cattle were destroyed.
Besides the brakeman who was in
jured in the wreck by being blown Off
a car, others had narrow escapes.
Several car men and farmers suffered
burns in attempt to extinguish the
fire. A wreck train was sent from
Fort Wayne, and succeeded in clear
ing the tracks after several hours
work. A number of trains were de-
layed by the wreck.

Poetry and Music.

If had to live my life again would
have made rule to read some poetry
and listen to some music at least once
every week; for perhaps the parts OF
my brain now atrophied would thus
have been kept active through use
The loss of these tastes is a loss OF
happiness, and may possibly be inju
rious to the intellect, and more prob
ably to the moral character by en-
feebling the emotional part Of our ma
ture.-Charles Darwin.

COOK ASKS INVESTIGATION
Man Who Claims to Have Discovered
Pole Appeals to Wilson.

Charging officials with a ''propo-
ganda of character assassination" and
ridiculing the National Geographical
society, Dr. Frederick A. Cook has
written President Wilson, asking that
a commission of polar explorers be
appointed to investigate his claim
and that of Admiral Peary to the dis
covery of the North Pole.
'The future of my children de-
mands an exposition of the unfair
methods of the armchair geographers
in Washington" says DR.. Cook in a
letter dated at Chicago. However,
do not ask the administration to de-
fend me or my posterity, but | do ask
that the men who draw a salary from
the national treasury he made an
swerable for a propaganda of char
acter assassination.

Better Than Drugs.

For people who are severely trou-
bled with the inability to sleep sound
ly, some diversion is needed, party,
an entertainment or theater. Reading
poets and philosophers will help, and
very often a hot drink will prove
a great help in inducing natural and
restful sleep. But above all, breathe
deeply of good pure air just before
retiring, and have your sleeping room
well ventilated.

COLES HEIRS WILL
NOT PAY WOMAN

Marshalltown, Nov. 19.-Mrs. Mary
Il. Cooley was unable to prove that the
late Rev. Jesse Cole damaged her ST.
900 worth by refusing to marry her.
A jury in the district court has re-
turned a virdict for the defendant
Fred S. Wing Of Fort Dodge, the Rev
Mr.. Coles son-in-law and executor OF
his estate, substituted as defendant In
the breach of promise proceedings.
1t was brought out in the testimony
Of Mrs. Wing, the daughter, that Mrs
Cooley had informed her that she had
been divorced from one Of her hus-
bands, Zilsberger on statutory grounds.
The court record showed cruel and In
human treatment as the cause. The
Rev. Mr.. Cole gave as one of his rea-
sons for not marrying Mrs. Cooley that
he had learned she was divorced on
other than statutory grounds. AS a
minister of the Methodist church he
would not be permitted to marry a
woman divorced for any other cause.
