STEPS FROM BEHIND A
WAGON IN FRONT OF CAR

lfontanelle, Ia, Oct. i3.--Guy
Rogers. a we'll known farmer of
this vicinity, was dangerously and
possibly fatally hurt here Wed
nesday. He had come TO town in
a wagon with high sideboards and
hitched his team TO The chain on
the west side of the square. After
tying the team he started to cross
the street, leaving the chain on
the north side of the wagon. On
account of defective hearing he
did not hear car coming from
the south, driven by Glen Ewing,
and did not see it because he was
watching a car coming from the
other direction driven by Earl
Fritz. Glen had turned to the
right to pass the other car, which
brought his car within a few feet
of the rear end of the Rogers
wagon, and unavoidedly ran onto
Guy MS he stepped from behind
the wagon. Guy was thrown to
the ground and the two left wheels
of the car passed over him.
The injured man was taken to
the office of DIR. McDermid. where
an examination showed three ribs
broken, but failed to show any
further injuries. He has remained
unconscious, however, and his
condition up to the present time
indicated that there may be a con-

How oatarrh is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes SO
thoughtless as to neglect the
colds which their children con-
tract. The inflammation of the
mucum membrane, at first acute,
becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, a disease
that is seldom cured and that
may prove a life's burden. Many
persons who have this loathsome
disease will remember having
had frequent colds at the time it
was contracted. A little FORE
thought, q bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy iudiciously
used, and all this trouble might
have been avoided. For sale by

CROSSING HoRRoRs
AROUSE COMMISSION

Des Moines, Ia, Oct. i3.-Mem-.
bers of the state railroad com
mission yesterday visited Oelwein
to look over the proposed site for
a viaduct over the Northwestern
and the Great Western tracks.
The citizens of that city are very
anxious for such viaduct.
Two members of the commits
sion, Secretary George McCaugh--
an and Commissioners Wilson.
witnessed a tragic railroad eros
sing wreck at Missouri Valley re-
Gently in which two men from Lo-
gan were killed while trying to
cross a railroad track in the yards
at Missouri Valley. Messrs. Nc
Caughan and Wilson, who have
been giving the question of grade
crossings much study because of
the frequent number of collisions
between automobiles and trains
on crossings, like the other spec
tators, were Mortified. The two
men had just crossed one track
safely when a train had split i'll
two to let them through and were
attempting to cross a third track
when they were caught by an in
coming train 1t is thought they
misunderstood the flagman.
The commission hopes to have
this serious problem of grade
crossings we'll worked out when
the legislature meets and will ask
for legislation which will lessen
the danger from grade crossing
accidents.

TEN srockmEn DEAD.
FIFTEEN INJURED

Elwood, Neb., Oct. 16.--Ten
men were killed and fifteen others
injured yesterday three miles
east of Elwood on the Burling-
ton road, when the third section
of stock train No. 1876 ran into
the rear end of the second Sec
tion. The dead and injured were
all Nebraska stockmen and farm
lers.
The regular train was running
in three sections, the first sec
ton having passed safely, was
followed by the second section,
which had trouble with hot boxes.
and stopped at point about half
way between Smith field and Ber-
trand. The crew of the second
section was out fixing the trouble
when the engine of the third sec
tion, which had been running
about ten minutes behind, struck
the caboose of the second Sec
ton. 1T is reported that the crew
of the second section failed to
put their torpedoes or torches or
other warning signals and the
light on the engine of the third
section was put out at Eustis,
two stations west.
On account of the fog, lack of
headlights and danger signals,
no one was aware of the danger
until the third section was within
a few yards Of the other train. AL
though the engine was reversed it
could not be stopped until it had
jammed the rear end of the train
ahead

morning at 1890, following an
operation for appendicitis. Until

thought he was getting along
nicely, but there was a change for
the worse about 4 o'clock and he

operation and their diagnosis
showed that the gas crowded up
until it smothered his heart.

this morning when it was learned
that John Adams had passed away,

getting along in fine shape. He
was known to nearly every man,
woman and child in the city and
he was beloved by each and every
one He was one of the popular
members of the dancing clubs and
was one of the most popular men
in town. His death will leave
vacancy that will be hard to fill.

Mrs. Harry Adams, was born on
the old homestead east of town,
on October 81, 1879, and would
have been 81 years old a week

Senate leaders today expressed
hopefulness that the army organiza-

Disposition OF Senators to mako
protracted speeches has been shown
but little and while there will be
much discussion OF amendments the
signs now are there will be no need
less delay.
About the provisions relating to the
National Guard there has already be-
gun to rage a hot fight. Likewise Il
is apparent there will be trouble over
the plan to organize Federal volun-

had more to do with recent disorders
in the Fatherland than any actual
shortage. The accusation Is not made
alone by radical publications like Vor-
waerts. The KreuZzeitung. of the mill
tary press, discussing the situation at
Dresden, relates the following:
1T appears that the market autnori-
ties in that town have for months past
been doing a thriving trade in corner
ing vegetables and cereals which were
intended b. the municipality to be dis
tributed at n nominal charge among the
poor. Before long. proof was forth
coming that the names OF customs and
town hall officials. wholesale business
firms, and frst-class boarding houses
were carefully noted in the market
authorities books. These favored Gus
toners were supplied secretly with ali
the articles they needed at prices only
slightly In excess of those fixed as pay
able by the poor.
THE consequence was, that on scores
OF occasions hundreds OF poor women.
after standing for hours in front of the
market stalls, pushing and trampiing
one another, and tearing one another
clothes on their backs, in their strug-
giles to obtain the desired food. were
sent away either empty -handed or given
a paltry half-pound of peas or beans.
while well-paid officials or rich mer-
chants were supplied with twenty
pounds at time, delivered free at their
houses"
