lis a.v i' 1 1 1 IOWANS' CORN, DEAL. 1)3 Moines Register^ W. D.Btaofc tixok Of Taylor county,' is ^pdipg ovr the recent rise In' the price 'rt com, Mr. Blackmore has Veen mpife. iifcerested in the prioe .of corn |or t/e past several, months than .many his friends supposed. In fact, he las been holding 150,000 bushels of «orn every since last December,' /and it has worried him a ltitle at times. During the legislature there were some days that he was not in th&mood to give very careful at tention to the lobbysists, for he could almost hear the ticker an nouncting that corn was going Mown down, down. However, he did not become discouraged, but held on when a man of less nerve would probably have given up and lost his margins. Sometimes he had to grit his teeth to keep up his courage, but he held on, neverthe less. Now he is glad that he did. Mr. Blakemore purchased the corn in December at 66 cents. The market was not in a particul arly good condition at that time, and instead of going up as it should, -according to his calculations, it started on the toboggan slide. Day after day he watcted the price slide. Then the market Would begin to look up a little, and he felt more •encouraged. The general trend was downward, however, and at one time it reached 58 cents, or 8 cents below the price Mr Blakemore had paid for it. It was then that he found himself "in the hole" to, the .amount of nearly $15,000, and wondering "whether to let go or take the risk of going deeper. He took the risk, and after a time the market began to^mend. The bears who had sold reckessly in the hope of forcing jthQ market down found that they would have to buy, and as a result it begn to go up again. On Tuesdy July corn closed at 67^c, and Mr. Blakemore, who had at one time been $15,000 behind on his transactions, found himself in a position where he could have sold and been $2,000 ahead. He did not sell however, but instructed his broker to sell at 67* if the price began to decline again. He is hop ing it will reach 70 cent before it begins to go back. Mr. Blakemore says that this is his last big tran saction in grain .and if he gets out of it safely he will not tempt the fate again. MEAT ONCE A DYA. Our mistakes in eating being with our breakfast. In many families, perhaps in most, this meal .com mences with fruit and cereal, goes on to chops and potatoes, hot breads .and coffee, and concludes with griddle cakes and syrup. At noon, when a man's stomach is only beginning to rest from all this, he has a steak, more potatoes, bread .and butter, coffee and pie, while at home his wife has a slice of meat, a cup of tea and a piceeof cake. At night the two sit down to dinner —with roast beef, potatoes and bread and butter as the staples of the meal. Now no one but a wood ohopperjor a hunter can possibly eat meat, above all, red meat,',such as beef and mutton, three times a day and without inviting uric acid to come and take up its dwelling in his system. Nor can he eat white bread, potatoes and pastry day after day without inviting dypsepsia. One has only to let a doctor trace back these diseases to their source to be quite certain on these points. But if we decide to give up these things, determine to have meat and potatoes only once a day, and red meat only once a week, if we taboO pastry, the starchy vegetable, the white bread and heavy sweets, what have we left for the family meals? "Nothing" the distracted housewife will exclaim, despairingly, at first, thouhgt, but really the matter is not difficult as it seems. In planning the meals on this basis there is, first of all, chicken, which is invaluable, for it may be Cooked in a dozen different ways and seem a new dish each time and turkey, duck and goose as well. Then there are the white meats—lamb and veal, fish in its multitudinous forms there are game in its season vege tables and fruits, with numberless varities of soups, and the simple sweets, which are made principally from milk and cream, and all .the forms of breads.—Harper's Baazar. stopped free Permanently Cured by DR.

Fremont Dow is working for John Milton this summer. Anton Thennisen has been rather under the weather of late, and he called on Dr. Walker recently to see if he could help^him. Anton is one of those good, honest fellows that everybody likes, and everyone wishes that may soon be sound and well as ever. Carpenters are at work on the addition that Mr. Milton is putting to his house. These are busy times for carpenters, and the man who is able to get them just when he wants them is a lucky man. Mr. Welch, who owns the south westquarter of section 2 in this town is preparing to put up build insg on the place—a house and barn. He does not expect to occupy the place himself but thinks that by putting up-the necessary bui dings he can rent it to better advantage. In that doubtless he is about right. Will Downes went up to Norman county lately to look at the country up there and see what he thought of it. He was well enough pleased with the country to invest in a quarter section of Red River land, and his friends hope that his invest ment may be a paying one. As usual, J. W.

Two OtHers May Die of Injuries. Passengers Narrowly Escape. The Heavy Train Was Speeding Along at the Rate of Seven ty Miles an Hour. The Chicago, St. Paul, Minne apolis and Omaha railroad, fast train, the Kansas City-St. Paul 4'Flyer" which left Saturday night at 1:30 o'clock in the morning dash ed into a broken switch point at Ashton while running at a speed of seventy miles an hour. The dead: Clinton W. Bassett, of 309 Iowa street Sioux City, fireman scalded to death lived four hours. Cal J. Robinson of Council Bluffs, mail clerk crushed beneath his car dead when found. The injured: F. E. Weston, of St. Paul mail clerk scalded, probably fatally. James A. Erskine, of St. Paul scalded probably fatally. Alvin Canfield 815 Virignia street Sioux City, engineer head badly cut right arm broken, severe shock. U. S. Thompson, of St. Paul mail clerk back hurt head cut serious C.A Hall, of St. Paul, clerk in charge of mail car hurt about' back and head serious. A. Z. Poole, of Minneapoils, American Express company messenger hurt about the back, badly shake up serious. The accident occurred at a point even with the station water tank This train never stops at Ashton which is a town 11 miles north of Sheldon and 7 miles south of Sibley. The track here is straight for six miles and it is nothing un common for the "Flyer" to make the time it was making yesterday morning. The train had been late coming into Sioux City from the south, and it lacked only a few minute Of midnight when it left the joint office, when it should have pulled out at 11:05 o'clock. Ashton, according to schedule should be reached at 1.10 o'clock. The time of the accident was 1:30 o'clock. Engineer Canfield had made up all except twenty minutes of* the time he was behind when he pulled out of Sioux City. He was going like the wind when his engine struck the broken* switch point. The big machine turned complete ly over so that its front faced the train it had been pulling. The mail car was thrown into the air so that it fell crosswise of the engine. The express car, which was second in the train, was hurled nearly clear off the right of way. The third car, a heavy composite smashed into the mail car which was lying across the engine, and split it. The locomotive was stripped of it jacket and dome, and it lays on its side a shapeless mass. Behind the composite car were two sleeping cars a chair car and two day coaches. All of these ex cept the rear coach were thrown from the track. The lights went out and there was dire confusion. As -soon as George Irteon, con ductor of the train could recover from the shock he had sustained, he ran ahead to the engine. Steam was issuing in clouds from the bursted boiler, and from the wreck age of the mail car he could hear the moan of the injured and dying trainmen. Fireman Bassett was the first man found. The poor fellow was pinioned to the ground by a side of the mail car. With one free hand he was scratching away the gravel so that he could releae his body. Ireton assisted him to get loose. Where's Dad?" Bassett asked, his first thought being of the veteran engineer, Canfied. Before he could be restrained Bassett in his awful agony and \yith the flesh scalded off the the bones in his arms, ran up to the little depot, calling for "Dad," As his shirt was removed the flesh dropped in chunks from Bassett's body. He died in terrible pain upon a cot in the waiting room of the station Just before he died he said, "Boys, I've made my last*trip." Several surgeons from Sheldon and Sibley were at his side. Canfied, the enigneer, was found ^"#^:i^£^:JUNE 87t im, r^ ^'-'Tf beneath the debris of the mail car. He cpuld not be pulled out but was given a shovel and he dug his way out. Robinson, the mjiil clerk, could not be Reached until the Itop of the car could ibe chopped through. He was badly crushed and it is thought that his death was instantaneous. Clerks Weston and Erskine were scalded before they could be releas ed. At the Sioux City postofiice it was said last night upon information from St. Paul that their injuries probaby would result fatally. Clerks Thompson and Hall were able to crawl out of the wreck. Their injuries were reported last night from St. Paul to be serious. Messenger Poole was% the sole occupant of the express car. This light oar which was between the mail car and the composite car, was thrown far to one side of the track. The wonder was that Poole was not killed. He is in a Minneapolis hospiatl. The mail clerks are in a hospital in St.Paul All of the passengers were badly shaken up, but no one was injured further than being bruised. A brakeman who was just entering a door of one of the coaches was violently thrown the entire length of the car. Conductor Ireton telegraphed division headquarters at St. James and gave information of the acci dent. As soon as possible L. F. Slaker, superintendent, and T. W Kennedy, assistant suoerintendent, arrived on a speicial train, which was followed by a wrecking train. The track was cleared by 5 o'clock. The chair car and two day coaches of the wrecked train were made up in a new train, which Conductor Ireton took to St Paul. He carried all the injured mail clwrks. The superintendent's special train was sent to Sioux City with Enigneer Canfield, who was taken to his home. The body of Bassett was kept at Ashton and today it will be sent to the home of his widowed mother, who lives at Neoga, III. The body of Robinson was taken to Sheldon, where it is in charge of a ma*l clerk who was sent from St. Paul by Division Chief Clerk Wolf. At the headquarters of the road in St. Paul the cause ot the wreck was said to have been a misplaced switch. The officials said the train was running at a very high rate of speed. Trainmen who were at the scene of the wreck said the cause un doubtedly was a broken switch point. The engine,mail car,express car and the composite car held to the main line. The sleeping cars, the chair car and the coaches took the jidetrack. The reason for this 'arrangement of the train by which the composite car and sleeping cars are up in front is that the front end of the com posite car is use, for baggage. The rear half of the car contains a buflet, and is for the use of sleep ing car passengers. If the sleeping cars were at the rear of the tram it would be necessary for the patrons of the buffet to walk through the day coaches. So, to avoid 'this the sleeping cars are placed immediately behind the composite cai*. Railroad men say it was fortunate that this heavy car was up in front. It is a steel framed car and strongly constructed in everyway. Although it split the mail car in two it was hardly scratched. If,instead of this heavy car there had been a light day coach, the result of the collision would have been different, and there would have been a greater loss of life. The enigne which was pulling the train now is amass of scrap iron. It was a ten wheeler No. 266, of modern type, and one of the speed iest machines on the Omaha system. Engineer Canfield said at his home last evening that it seemed to ^him that he was thrown thirty feet in the air. He could not remember ^striking the ground. When he re covered consciousness he was lying on his back pinned down. The engineer's said "I was think ing of anything but a wreck." "We were spinning along at a pretty good clip. Bassett had just joked me about something. He was a mighty fine boy, about 23 or 24, and was supporting is mother, Who lives south of Chicago some place. When was liying there pinned to the earth I could hear him asking if I was all right. He was fatally scald ed himself, but his thoughts were for others, He had the stuff in hjm. He came from the right kind of stock." Bassett had been in the service of the Omaha as a fireman for four years, and was well liked by the railroad men of Sioux City. He lived at Sioux City. Cal Robinson, the dead mail clerk, has sisters living at Council Bluffs. His body was brought to Sioux City this morning and taken on the first train to his home. The above from the Sioux City Journal and is almost entirely cor roboratied by those at the wreck. The a 1 y's Editor visited the scene Monday morning. The acci dent occurred at the depot where the track is graded and about ten feet above the natural ground lying opposite the depot. The depot is on the north side of the track and the wreckage on the south side of the track and embankment. The cause of accidenti- not defin itely known, but the condition of the ties south of the switch where train left the track indicates that something about the engine or mail car dropped near the switch and caught the switch rods bending them so as to cause the position of the rails to be changed and throw the cars on the side track after the engine'had passed over the switch. The switch rods were found bent and the center of the ties of the main track near the switch'are gouged out as if done ,by some dragging iron. The engine lies about one hundred and fifty feet from the switch and twenty five feet from the depot, on the edge of enbankment. The tank is aleng side of the engine a little ahead and turned half around as if train was going in opposite direction from what it was. The tank is -on the rails of the main track. The mail car cross ways of the track, on its side, covers engine and tank and across the depot platform. The express car ran into the ground several feet and lies partly on -its side, and went to a point opposite and parallel with the engine. Con ductor Ireton was in this car at time of accident. The mail car is a com plete wreck and one end is smashed into slivers. Everything of the engine cab and on boiler head is demolished, the smoke stack, head light and bell are allright. The escaping steam threw sand on the baggage car and was so hot that the paint way affected. The operator was standing in the bay window watching the train approach and saw it as it was being wrecked. He was so badly fright ened as to be unable to' send a message or even report the accident. Conductor Ii*eton being an operator reported the accident himself. Had the engine went much farther the operator would have been injured if not killed. No fire was started but the local fire department was on hand with their apparatus. Had the train been made up differently that is the sleepers behind, the day coaches would have been completely demolished and if any passengers had escaped it would have been miraculous. The mail agent was taken out of the worst damaged end of mail car, some of the mail sacks were still in the wreckage after the buffet car was pulled away ^Monday morning. The wreck will probably all be cleared up Tuesday. Drs. Manson and Dolan were taken from here on one of ^the first special trains to give medical assis tance. It is said some of the passengers in the sleeper were not woke up «by the shock. RESULT OF PRIMARIES.
