FRISCO WASHOUT
TIES UP TRAFFIC
WRECK AVERTED
Conductor Discovers Track
Missing as Freight Reach
es Brink.
TRAIN DETOURED BY
WAY OF ROCKVIEW
Swamp Section of Southeast Mis-.
souri, Flooded and Track
is Bad.

A washout occurred yesterday af-
ternoon at 5 o'clock on the Hoxie
branch of the Frisco near Sharpsboro,
II miles south of this city, just as the
Poplar Bluff local freight train was
passing over the inundated section.
A wreck was averted by the train
pulling apart at the point where the
washout occurred. 1t was not known
that the track had given way until
the engineer had started to back up
to couple on to the stranded section.
When the discovery was made, Con-
ductor Spooner hurried to the Cape
with the engine and three cars, leav-
ing 81 cars standing on the submerg-
ed roadway.
Traffic on the main line is now sus-
pended and trains going north and
south are compelled to detour by way
of Rockview, where they use the Cot
ton Belt track between that point and
Delta.
The entire swamp section of South
east Missouri is reported to be in a
state of inundation. Little River,
Castor, Hubble and st. Francis, are
all raging and great volumes of sur
plus waters are pouring over the
banks and being distributed over the
vast areas of adjacent level lands.
Miles of track are threatened with
destruction, and for great distances
the right-of-way on either side of the
roadbed is under several feet of water,
and in places the steel rails along the
track are almost covered with water.
Many habitations have been aban-
doned, and much loss to farm proper
ty and livestock is reported. The

ST. VINCENT Wins
RIVER LAND suit
Circuit Court Holds Contested
Ground Belongs to Cape Cir
ardeau College.

Judge Kelley in the Circuit Court at
Jackson yesterday made permanent
the temporary injunction issued
against Martin L. Haupt and the
County Court to prevent him selling
50-acre tract of ground, owned by
st. Vincent College.
The ground, which is located north
of Cape Girardeau, and forms a part
of the large st. Vincent farm, was
formed by the Mississippi river chang
ing its course. The ground was or
iginally a part Of the College farm,
but when the river changed its course
many years ago, it inundated the
ground. When it changed back recent
ly it restored the land as part of the
big farm.
The County Court held that the re-
deemed ground belonged to the Coun-
ty, but Father Thomas J. Levan, in
behalf of the college, went to court
to prevent the sale of the land at auc-
ton, as had been ordered by Judge
Haupt-
Lee L. Bowman represented st.
Vineent's College when the case was
frst presented to Judge Kelley. The
Court issued temporary ) lhjunction

licly stated whether he will make the
race.
In the fourth ward there will be
regiment in the field for Councilman
against Mr.. Fowler, who will run for
reelection. 1t was announced several
weeks ago that Tom Gill, erstwhile
boss of the ward, would like to go
back to the Council. The latest report
is that Capt. ]. L. Stout will also make
the race.
Efforts are being made by Mr.. Phil
lips and close friends to induce Joe 7.
Num-, Jr., to run for City Collector
against George H. Meyer, the incum-
bent. Mr.. Num- has not reached a de-
cision. AS he is one of the most popu-
lar young men in the city, it is be-
lieved he will add strength to the
Phillips ticket. Mr.. Num-, however,
has always been supporter of Mayor
Rage and they are at present very
close friends.
Friends of the Mayor have suggest
ed the name of Mr.. Num- for City
Clerk, and if Mayor Rage is re-elect-
ed with a council friendly to him, it
is quite likely that efforts will be mad,
to make Mr.. Num- clerk.

is going to oppose Harry E. Alexan-
der for reelection as Judge of the Po-

PASSENGER FIGHTS
With MOTORMAN
Clarence Hinkle is Relieved From
Duty After Bout With
Jeff Mitchell.

Clarence Hinkle, a street car mo-
torman, and jeff Mitchell, a passenger,
engaged in fist fight on the car, near
the Frederick street crossing, last
night at about 9 o'clock, as the result
of a dispute over the collection Of
fare.
Hinkle was worsted in the encoun-
ter, and was relieved from duty by
Motorman Pat Whalen. Mitchell was
arrested by Officer jeff Hutson, and
taken to the police station, where he
gave bond for his appearance at the
police court Monday morning.
Motorman Hinkle informed the po-
liceman that the trouble started when
Mitchell and three companions board
ed the car on Main street, and failed
to drop the correct amount Of fare in
to the register. He stated that they
refused to produce the difference, and
that when they reached Haarig, he
instructed them that they must paw
an additional sum or leave the car,
which statement was resented by Nit
chell's attack.
Mitchell states, however, that when
they were ordered to leave the car, the
motorman showed him, and that the
fight started from that cause.
Mitchell is employed on the drag
line work Just south of this city e.
boards in Smelterville.

WHAT NEURASTHEN|A IS

Neurasthenia is condition OF exhaus-
ton of the nervous system. The causes
are varied. Continuous work, mental or
physical, without proper vacation periods,
without proper attention to diet and ex-
ercise, also worry over the struggle for
success, are the most common causes.
Excuses of almost any kind may pro-
duce it. Some diseases, like the grip,
will cause neurasthenia. So also will a
severe shock, intense anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are over-sensltlveness,
irritability, disposition to worry over
triles, headache, possibly nausea.
The treatment is one ofnutrltlon OF the
nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholic
tonic. AS the nerves get their nourlsh-
ment from the blood the treatment must
be directed toward building up the blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills act directly on
the blood and with proper regulation of
the diet have proved OF the greatest bene-
fit in many cases of neurasthenia. A
tendency to anemia, or bloodlessness,
shown by most neurasthenic patients, is
also corrected by these tonic pills. Your
own druggist sells DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.

vous System" and "Whatto Eat and How
to Eat" will be sent free by the DR.. Will

THE POTATO SITUATION.
Conditions in Aroostook County.

Potatoes have for two or three DAYS
been bringing about rs cents in the Fort
Fairfield market, though they are COM
ing very slowly. A few days last week
they brought dollar, the sudden rise in
price being due to the heavy storm and
frost that killed the prospects for fine
crop along the coast in some of the
southern States, it is said There are
various predictions to the effect that
potatoes will go out high, but many
others think that they will stay rather
low. Perhaps one guess is about as good
as another. The editor has asked all the
farmers and potato dealers that he has
seen for some time what percentage of
the whole crop of last fall in Aroostook
there is now remaining in the hands of
the farmers to be marketed. The ans
wers have varied all the way from SO 1-3
per cent down to ten per cent, the aver
age being from Is to Is per cent. One
especially we'll informed man says
he tn inks there Is nearly 20 per cent on
hand yet. The same question has been
asked in regard to decrease of acreage
the coming year over the past few years.
Some have claimed that the acreage in
Aroostook potatoes this year would de-
crease one third, while others put the
decrease as low as five per cent. 1t
will probably not go much over ten per
cent. At least that is the opinion of
many. Only about two thirds as much
fertilizer has been delivered in Aroos-
took up to the present time as is usual at
this time of year, although it is thoguht
that nearly all people who plant any
potatoes at all will get some fertilizer in
some way or another. Probably not
more than half of the fertilizer bought
for last years crop has yet been paid
for. A few, very few, Aroostook far
mers have been buying fertilizer for the
coming crop and paying cash for it,
although probably not more than five
per cent of the fertilizer bought for
the coming crop will be so paid for, The
amount of potash in the fertilizer has
been cut down this year from the old
amount of seven to ten per cent to about
four per cent, but the price of the phos-
phate remains about the same per ton
as ever, nearly $40. The we'll informed
people say that the great question is
how many potatoes New York State will
plant, as big plant and big crop in
that State. as was the case the past
year, will mean plugged and poor mar
kets all the year for most of New Eng
land, while a scarce crop there without
much doubt means good prices for New
England, including Aroostook, without
paying much attention to the western
States of Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Illinois, and those farther west. -

lawn of the new day about to break.
Not alone among the members of the
Homeless Twenty did grief and sorrow
take up their abode as the news of her
passing spread and not alone in the cir
Gle of her intimate acquaintance will
her personality be missed. Her friend
ships were broad and her charities all
embracing.
But, after all, it was during the early
days in the Twin Falls country that her
splendid personality reached perhaps it's
highest expression. Those were the days
when men and women were weighed in
the balance and their true worth COM
puted in the rough scale of things as
they were. Mr.. and Mrs. McColum led
the vanguard of the army which was to
arrive, and side by side, shoulder to
shoulder, encouraged the doubling, cheer
ed on the unfortunate. and assisted over
the rough spots those who needed as
sistance.
10 the early arrivals the McCo llum
home was as the oasis in the desert, the
mecca in the direction of which all mems
steps were turned, and one and all were
given ready smile and cheerful well
come.
There were none of the modern con-
venlences of housekeeping in those days
and few homes worthy of the name. On
every hand the sagebrush stretched away
to the horizon and the wind blew steadily
In the intervals of the dust storms. 1t
was at this time that Mrs. McCol)um
earned her title of the Mother of the
Homeless Twenty. She it was whose
latchstring was always hanging out and
never was she happier than when en-
gagged in the entertaining of some i'm
promptu party of the voyageurs of the
desert, eager for the lights and comforts
OF home and the recollection of the
things left behind in the quest of for
tune in the new field.
That she was equal to every situation
OF those trying times is gratefully at
tested by all those who were fortunate
enough to partake of her hospitality.
For the Homeless Twenty is still a unit
in the social life of Twin Falls, and the
members join with the citizens generally
In the heartfelt sorrow which has cast
pail of gloom over all the Twin Falls
country because of her going.

WILSON A PARTISAN PRESIDENT.
His Defeat Certain with the Right Choice
of Republican Candidate.

The Republican party can be defeated
in 1916 only through inexcusable blunder-
ing in the nomination of a candidate for
President, says Senator George W. Nor
ris of Nebraska, Progressive Republican,
in an interview on the current situation.
Although radical of radicals, Senator
Norris makes it clear that the two fac
tons of the party are prepared to unite
upon any candidate of real ability and
with disposition to deal with issues on
their merits. Senator Borah of Idaho
Cummins of Idaho and Weeks of Massa-
chusetts and former Senator Burton of
Ohio are warmly praised by SenatorNor
ris, and he says that what he knows
of Governor Whitman of New York is
favorable to him. While having NO spec
ial knowledge, the senator believes that
neither Roosevelt nor Taft will be can
didate for the nomination. The Republi.
can party must be- held to progressive
policies, he said, ard the nomination of a
reacti onary of the type of 1912 upon a
reactionay platform will bring defeat. He
declares that criticism of Senator Weeks
as reactionary is unjust and that the
party could go further and do worse than
to nominate him."
president Wilson has shown that he
is the most partisan President who has
ever occupied the White House." SAYS
Senator Norris. Through the antiquat-
ed secret caucus he has controlled most
of the Democratic members of Congress
at his own sweet will, and through the
instrumentality of caucus control he has
striven more to bring about party success
than he has for the good of the country.
These mistakes of his Administration.
which are many anoi grievous, have come
about more on account of his rank parti
sanship than for any other reason, more
over, his most important appointments
show that when the real test comes his
sympathies have been with the reaction

NAMING A POWER BOAT.
The Perplexities Of Sam Grindle.
boston Globe.1

EcGEMoGG1N, Me-, April Is. Jess
Willard probably: never heard of Egge-
moggin Reach, or Naskeag Gut. or Fox
Island Thoroughfare, or Burnt Coat,
Old Harbor, but the hardy shore fisher
men, trawlers, lobstermen, who wrest
their living from the sea, have all heard
of Jess. Mr.. Willard is held in pro.
found admiration and respect and Sam
Grindle has named his new power boat
Jess Willard-that is, if he doesn't
change his mind.
That may not seem SO very much of
an honor to any one who dom t happen to
know the circumstances. Sans boat
has been idle at her mooring for several
weeks all because Sam couldn't decide
upon name and couldn't get license
until she had name.
Sans chums tell stories on Sam which
may not be as true as they are interest
ing. They say that when the boat was
being built, Sam owned up that he was
going to name her Ruth B. for school
ma am up in Sedgwick. But something
happened and after Sam had been over
to North Haven several times some one
found him laying out line of brass let
tiers that spelled Annie May.
Then Sam suddenly cut out his trips to
North Haven and told the boys that he
was going to name the boat Make be-
cause he wanted something different. Sam
spent Christmas with his cousin over in
Rockland. where he went to the movies
often. When he came back he said he
had the name of the prettiest girl be ever
saw picked out. He had written the name
down SO he wouldn't forget it but after
he got painter down to the boat shop
Sam found that he had lost his memo.
randum. All that he could remember
was that her first name was Mary.
He wrote his cousin about it and he
answered back that it must be Poor
Pauline that he was thinking about. So
the boat didn't get the name of the
movie heroine after all.
Sans sister came home from the Cas-
tine Normal School, bringing girl
chum, and Sam lost all interest in the
pitch games down in the barber shop for
almost two weeks. The new girl said
the boat was a beauty and that Sam
could name it after her, Eloise Marguer-
lite, but Sam rather sidestepped when he
come to reckon up the cost of brass let
tiers. Besides, there wasn't room. Hence,
Jess Willard comes along just at the
right time.
Sam says that the name goes and there
will be no more fooling with girls names.
He hasn't been able to make things alto.
gether PLAIN as yet to his Aunt Martha,
who has been quizzing the girls of the
neighborhood as to who this new girl of
Sans is-this Jessie Willard.
