Easy Wheat for February Delivery

People had a chance to pick up some
cheap wheat for their hens as the result
of small smash-up on the railroad just
north of the village in the small hours
Of Tuesday morning. The accident was
to an east bound freight.
AS to just what broke there Is not unan-
unity of opinion, but something did,
and at any rate, two cars of wheat went
off the rails at the cattle pass in II. N.
Porter's pasture, tearing up some of the
track. Only two cars left the rails.
One Of them was q steel frame car, and
was in such shape that the car body was
lifted on to flat car and continued its
journey to Portland with its load of
wheat. The other car was . wooden
frame, and when it went off 1t struck q
rock, and was 80 broken up that it was
burned, after what of the wheat could
be saved had been shoveled into another
car.
Some seyenty-five or hundred BUSH
els of wheat was left on the ground, and
there was no lack of people to gather it
up and carry 1t home to their poultry.
The wrecking train was here prompt
ly, and the track was cleared so that tho
only delay was slight one to the early
morning passenger train.

No overdrawn accounts are shown,
and outside Of the school accounts, there
are outstanding bills reported only to a
small amount on snow bills and moth
protection. There is an unexpended
balance of s451. "a in the poor appropria-
ton.
At the date Of the report the only in
mate OF the town farm was one man who
was there part of the time. Henry Cas-

While preparing dinner young Min
neapolis wife had the misfortune to
scald her hand so badly than over half
the skin came off. She was all slone
at the time and rushed over to her
neighbours for help. This neighbor
promptly applied Aliens Ulcerine Salve
and in ten days the hand was completely
healed without scar.
This salve is one of the oldest reme-
dies in America and since 1869 it has
been known as the only salve powerful
enough to cure chronic ulcers and old
sores of long standing. Because it is
so powerful, it will heal burns and
scalds without a scar in a remarkably
short time.
Aliens Ulcerine Salve heals from the
bottom up and draws out the poisons.
If applied on new cuts and sores 1T
heals in one-third the time that com
