MOTHER USED TO MAKE*
ACTION IS DUE
TO PARCEL POST
United States Express Company
Will Quit Business.
OIREGTORS VOTE UNANIMOUS
Committee of Liquidation Appointed
to Wind Up the Affaire of
the Concern.
New York, March 14.—Directors of
the United States Express company
voted unanimously to liquidate its af
fairs and dissolve it in the shortest
possible time.
The resolution under which this
action was recommended follows:
"Resolved, That pursuant to the
power and authority conferred upon
the board of directors of the United
States Express company by its arti
cles of association, the board unani
mously declares that it is for the best
interests of the company that the
company be dissolved as soon as may
be, without awaiting the expiration of
its term of existence and that its
business and affairs be settled up and
finally adjusted as promptly as may
be done.
"The president is directed to inform
the shareholders of the company of
•aid action of the board."
The success of the parcel post and
the recent order of the interstate com
merce commission, resulting in a 16
per cent reduction in express charges,
are held directly responsible for the
company's retirement from business,
after sixty years of continuous opera
tion over some of the leading rail
roads of the country.
Earnings of the company for the
five months of the fiscal year so far
reported showed steady declines, with
a deficit of $32,000 for November.
Holiday business was fairly large, but
earnings continued to dwindle unttl
some of the more Influential interests
became outspoken for liquidation.

of money orders and negotiable pa
per scattered about the floor.
Joseph Goldstein, night watchman,
was in the rear of the store when he
heard robbers make a noisy entrance
through a window, all apparently
drunk. They leveled revolvers at
Goldstein and then carried him to the
basement. John Brackett, a night
watchman in the front of the building,
received the same treatment, and Mil
ton Bendixen, A. T. watchman, who
investigated the noise in the base

The wrecked safe contained a day's
receipts and the weekly payroll. The
police have no clues.

ONE DEAD, TWO SCORE HURT
Fast Passenger Train en the Omaha
Road Wrecked at Mendota by
Split Switch.
Two coaches of the Twin City Lim
ited, fast passenger train between
Omaha and Minneapolis on the Omaha
road, plunged from the trestle over
the wagon road in Mendota, five miles
from St. Paul, killing one woman, se
riously injuring two other persona
and causing lesser injuries to thirty
nine. A split switch was responsible
for the accident.
The dead woman was identified as
Miss Julia Hlgburg of Minneapolis.
Miss Hlgburg had been teaching at
Elmore.
The day coach, the first to leave the
rails, went over the trestle and fell on
its side in the roadway twelve feet
belew, while the observation car, just
behind, plunged over the embankment
lengthwise, tipped over on one side
and threw the passengers to the for
ward end of the car.
Passengers were hurled against the
seats, through windows and in some
cases pinned beneath the wrecked
seats in the day coach. Many were
made unconscious and only heroic
work by the passengers saved many
of them from death.
Minneapolis and St. Paul hospitals
are caring for wreck victims who were
taken from the cars by those who
wjere uninjured and hurried to the
Twin Cities in the coaches that re
mained on the track.
Going at fairly high speed to make
up lost time, the train sped through
the village, having no orders to stop
In front of the station the day coach
split the switch, rumbled over the ties
and onto the viaduct over the road
The trestle crashed as the coach
struck it, and then the coach, after
smashing its coupling with the car
ahead, plunged over the trestle and
lay in the road. The brick platform
of the station was plowed up like so
many clods of earth.
In a little more than half an hour
after the wreck every wounded pas
senger had received temporary treat
ment and was made as comfortable
as possible in the other coaches. A
nun on board organized relief work
and instructed others in the care of
the injured until physicians reached
the scene from St. Paul in automo
biles.

Terrific Hurricane Sweeps Over
Southern Russia.
CASUALTIES MAYEXCEED 1,500
Northerly Gale Causes Many Cloud-
bursts Along the East Coast ef
the Sea of Azov.
St Petersburg, March 16.—Details
of the hurricane which swept the
province of Kuban, Southern Russia,
Saturday, were received here from
Ekaterinodar. A northerly gale caused
numerous waterspouts off the east
coast on the Sea of Azov and the
shore from Yoisk~to the Strait of
Kertsch, a distance of about 500 miles,
was flooded and seriously damaged.
One hundred and seventy-six con
struction employes on the Kuban rail
road were sleeping in a shed when
awakened by the storm and fled to a
train and endeavored to escape. Soon,
however, the engine and cars were
overturned by the rushing water and
swept away.
The hurricane raged for ten hours.
When it ceased the receding floods re
vealed scenes of great destruction.
Eight miles of the railway embank
ment were in ruin. The wrecked
train was covered with bodies of dead
women. Forty-eight of the 176 men
finally got to shore on floating wreck
age, but it is feared all the others
were drowned.
Many courageous rescues of persons
floating on wreckage on the sea have
been reported. Many bodies have
been washed ashore at various points.
The meager dispatches received re
ported that 1,500 lives had been
lost as a result of the storm, but no
reliable details giving what may be
termed an accurate estimate have yet
come to hand.
A similar catastrophe occurred
along the shores of the Sea of Azov
thirty-seven years ago.
LONDON FEARS HEAVY LOSS
Closing of Sightseeing Places May
Keep Away Tourists.
London, March 12.—That portion of
London which harvests the dollars of
American tourists is showing much
alarm over the closing of sightseeing
shrines as a result of acts of vandal
ism committed by suffragettes.
The manager of a hotel, half of
whose guests come from the United
States, said that the places now
closed are those which Americans
come half way across the world to
see and that, therefore, he looks for
a heavy loss.
It also is feared, according to this
hotel manager, that the stories of suf
fragette outrages have been so paint
ed In the United States that the timid
tourists will give London a wide
berth.
FOURTEEN ARE IDENTIFIED
Twenty-four Bodies Taken From Ruins
of St. Louis Fire.
St. Louis, March 14.—The coroner's
inquiry into the Missouri Athletic
club fire, in which thirty or more
lives were lost, last Monday, was be
gun here.
The fire department, after one day's
search for other fire traps, named
three downtown lodgings on the un
safe list. At the hearing before the
joint municipal assembly it was
brought out by H. C. Henley, chief
of the fire prevention bureau, that the
largest, and incidentally the oldest
theater in the city, was a fire trap.
Fourteen of the twenty-four bodies
which have been dug out of the ruins
have been identified.

WESTINGHOUSE DIES
OF HEART DISEASE
Noted Inventor Expires Ratiisr
Unexpectedly.
New York, March 14.—George West
ihghouse, who invented the airbrake
and through this agency probably
saved more lives than any other man
of the country, died at his home here
of heart disease.
Mr. Westinghouse's death came but
a few hours after the public was ad
vised of his serious illness. The dis
ease manifested itself fifteen months
ago and is believed to have been
brought on by the blow his ventures
suffered in the depression of 1907.
His career as an inventor started
when he was but fifteen years old,
when he evolved a rotary engine. Be
fore he was twenty one he invented
the airbrake, which made huge for
tunes for his backers.
The genius of Westinghouse touch
ed many things. Besides railroading
for more than fifty years he made
many contributions to electrical and
engineering advancement. He found
ed many manufacturing companies
here and abroad and the plants em
ploy more than 50,000 persons. They
have a capitalization totaling more
than $200,000,000.
In 1S85 he succeeding in introduc
ing the alternating current system for
supplying electric light and power.
He invented many appliances for rail
road signals, devices for safely and
economically conveying natural gas
over great distances, air springs for
all kinds of motor vehicles and a
geared turbine for propelling ships
His inventions total in the hundreds.

CATAIRB OF THE THROAT
Is Ua|le to Prefeee Catarrhal leafiest
CLARENCE BOWMAN.
A Case of Catarrhal Deafness.
Mrs. Wm. Bowman, B. F. D. 1, Coon
Rapids, Iowa, writes:
"Some time ago I wrote you about
my little boy, Clarence, five years of
age. He was troubled with his ears.
They were very sensitive to the touch,
and he was quite deaf at times. He
seemed to be worse after catching
cold. I had taken him to doctors, but
they did not seem to be able to relieve
him, and I was very much afraid he
would lose his hearing entirely. He
was getting more deaf every day.
"I wrote to you for advice, and yon
prescribed Peruna. I began giving it
to him, and can now say that he is
entirely cured. He is now well and
hearty and can hear perfectly."
Catarrh Causes Many Diseases.
Many diseases are caused by taking
cold. A cold is very likely to settle
in the nose, causing nasal catarrh.
It may settle in the upper part of the
throat called the nasal pharyngeal
space. In this space are two little
tubes called eustachian tubes, that
lead to the middle ear.
If the catarrh settles in the pharyn
geal space it-may follow the mucous
membrane through the eustachian
tubes into the middle ear. If it does
it will cause noises in the ear, and
later on be sure to cause deafness.
Catarrh of the throat may follow
the eustachian tubes up into the mid
dle ear without causing much concern
on the part of the patient The par-

tial loss of hearing is apt to be over
looked. A person may Jose half his
hearing before he knows It
For instance, suppose a man can
hear his watch four feet from the ear.
If he loses his hearing to the extent
that he can only hear the tick of his
watch two feet from the ear be may
not suspect It at all. His hearing is
good enough for ordinary purposes.
He goes on without the slightest sus
picion that he is losing his hearing.
He may have ringing in the ear, or
cracking and snapping sounds In the
ear,- or a feeling of pressure in the
ear, but he is not aware that he is,
losing his hearing.
Testing the Hearing*
It is a good thing to test your hear
ing with a watch. First hold the
watch against your ear, then move it
gradually away from the ear and see
how far away from the watch you
can actually hear it tick. Try it on
the other side and see if both ears
are alike. If you find that you are
unable to hear the watch on both sides
alike and at a distance of four feet
from the ear, you may know that
deafness has already begun. You
should begin taking Peruna at once.

Sometimes catarrh of the nasal
pharyngeal space will cause an ac
cumulation of secretions in the throat
that completely fill the space. Unless
these secretions are promptly re
moved by frequent gargling polypi
may be formed. Once formed the
polypi or adenoids, as they are some
times called, will require a long time

gling according to the proper method
will sometimes remove polypi or ade

required. fc
In order to understand exactly what
is meant by proper gargling send for
a free copy of the "Ills of Life.**
During the whole course of gargling
Peruna must be taken according to
directions on the bottle.
