TRAIN FALLS into
RIVER, KILLING |
Water in Stream Is Low
Though, and Danger of
Drowning Is Removed.

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia, March 49,
One man was killed and fourteen
persons injured, several seriously.
when north bound Minneapolis and
st. Louis passenger train crashed
through a bridge six miles north of
this city early today
The bridge was old. and. it is said,
had long ago been declared unsafe.
1t is understood that the railroad
company intended replacing it with
another bridge, plans for which had
already been prepared.
Usually trains slow up when
passing over the old structure. but
the one to which today's accident
happened was behind time, and the
engineer drove his locomotive over
the bridge at full speed.
Half way across the piers trem-
bled, there was a crashing of timbers,
and the locomotive plunged into the
stream. The bridge had virtually col
lapsed in the centre and the two sec
tions hung down from either shore.
The stream over which the broken
bridge projected is shallow. This
obviated the danger of drowning al
most entirely. for the water rose no
higher than the car windows, and
the passengers, most of whom were
men, had no difficulty in climbing to
the roofs and waiting there to be
assisted ashore by rescue parties.
The man who was killed and those
who were injured were crushed by
the wreckage of the cars roofs and
walls.
The county authorities have taken
charge of the affair and will conduct
an Investigation of the accident.

HAPPY IN

seven presidents Virginia Graded
seven; Ohio, six: New York and
North Carolina, three leach; Massa

lucky, Pennsylvania, New Hamp>
shire and Vermont, one each.
Few of the twenty-seven presidents
rose above respectable mediocrity
and of the remainder there are some
known to the average citizen today
by their names only. Mount Vernon
and Hodgenville are already famous;
Caldwells claim to fame has just
been recognized. Princeton, widely
known as the seat of New Jerseys
largest college, Will claim a double
share as the home of Woodrow Will
son, the present President, and will
share its fame with little Staunton
Va, his birthplace. Perhaps the time
will come when oyster Bay will, in
spite of it's name, be sought out by
a grateful posterity, but that involves
prophecy 9
Much Due 20 Caldwell Women.
Much of the credit for thus placing
Caldwell on the map of fame is due
to the ladies of the Caldwell Borough
Improvement Association. When 1t
was announced a fund had been
started they were among the first to
subscribe, and they later aided ma
terially In soliciting subscriptions.
The board of governors of the
Mems Club of the Caldwell church
has also lent a lot of effort. Among
the most active Caldewll men in the
cause of the association are listed
Mayor John Espy George M. Can
field, Leon A. Carley, James r.
Campbell. Cyrus Crane and William
H Van Wart
1t seems certain that with the
coming years Caldwell will become
a spot of national interest. Municipal
pride makes the Caldwell people
realize this. and they also realize that
it is purely through Cleveland that
this interest has been aroused. So it
is with double reverence that they
participate in the memorial exercises
today,

Finds His Kith and
Kin Either Dead or
Vanished.
HE DENIES GUILT; NEVER
RECEIVED DEMERIT MARK
Eckert Fl When Convicted of
of Killing a Fellow
Tramp Over Fire.

WAUPUN, Wis, March 1S.-Ed
ward Eckard, of Pennsylvania, was
today paroled from the Wisconsin
penitentiary after thirty seven years
of actual time served behind the
bars. He was convicted of murder
when q years old.
Eckart's victim was Charles Peter
son, also of Pennsylvania. The two
were tramping in Wisconsin during
the excessively cold winter of 1875.
In a quarrel over a fire started beside
the railroad track near Jefferson,
Peterson was killed and Ickart was
sentenced to life Imprisonment for
the murder. He never has admitted
the crime, maintaining that Peter
son was killed by a tramp.
In the thirty-seven years of prison
confinement never a mark of de-
merit has been placed against Eek
art He cannot leave Wisconsin and
his conduct must be exemplary in
every way In the third of cen
fury of Imprisonment his kin have
deserted him and he does not know
the whereabouts of his wife and
daughter.
Prior to his Imprisonment Eckart
saw much of the world, sailing the
seas and working in the diamond
fields of South Africa. The judge
who sentenced him and the district
attorney who prosecuted him are dead,
and only three of the jurymen are
still living.
Eckart never lost hope. Without
money he managed to bring his case
before the Supreme Court of Wis
consin and the Circuit Court of APP
peals of the United States, but at
every turn he was thwarted. In a
desperate last hope he appealed to a
Milwaukee newspaperman, who was
Instrumental in obtaining his condl-
tional release.

In an article on Disease Superstitions.''
Hapgood's Harper's Weekly makes this
very important observations:
The people must be carefully taught-
not casually told-that disease is not an
accident. not a dispensation of providence,
or the infection OF an evil spirit, but the
result of environment and Of the mode Of
living They must learn that health does
not return by magic or by magic COM
pounds; but 1t must be restored by a per-
sonal battle against disease.
That Is u doctrine. which every
body. should preach to the ignorant and
thoyghtless. who, by false living or bad
environment have some malady and are
frittering ava their lives trying to find
some specific to cure 1t. Thus engaged
they are trying this and that. and listen
ing to every fellow who cured himself. or
reading every nOstrum advertisement, in
the hope of getting well. J
h doctors understand this and more
and more they are abandoning the old
specific route and adjusting their patients
them to think. talk. eat. exercise, and
thus harmonize their lives with the laws
Of happiness and health. When 1t comes
to specifics. don't worry is better than cas-.
tor oil. and don't eat SO much surpassed
