(Special.) At 6:60 o'clock this morning at the town ot Victor, which li on the line between 1'owe hlok and Iowa countlei, about sixty mllos east, occurred one of tho strangest railroad accidents ever known In Iowa. It was the explosion of tho boiler of ono of the Rock Island's big locomotives while the train was at full speed, tho killing of tho engineer and fireman, overturning all but one of tho coaches of the Denver limited train, hut with no fatalities among tho passengers. Tho accident was caused by the explosion of the boiler of engine No. 1413, v;hlch ws pulling tho train westward nt a terlftlo rat of speed, but which had been brought Into check for a fov seconds while the train was passing through the town of Victor. Tho explosion nwoko the slumber ln vlllnco and farmers for miles around. Immediately hundreds of people niched .o'j the scene of tho accident and discovered that Engineer W. Williams and his flremnn. Wilbur Honro, had been Instantly killed, their bodies being horribly mangled, almost beyond recognition. It wns at first feared thai many In tho train hod been badly Injured, as seven of the eight cars had been hurled from the track and over on their sides. flpurtlntr Dunn thr (Irnitr. Train No. B docs not stop at Victor ex cept to unload paucngera from ChlcagoS or going east to tako on passengers for points at which tho limited stops east of the Mississippi river. This morning thero was no ono to leave the train at .the sta tion. Tho tialn was on time, nnd wan mak ing a speed of forty miles an hour until the station was In sight, when a slackening of speed was made, according to the rules of tho company, for passing through. Thrco hundred feet cast of the station begins a slight down grado, which extends almost a. mile to Carnforth, whero tho Hock Island crosses near creek, and then tho North western branch running north to nolle Plalno and ttouth to Muchtcanock. Engi neers have a habit of spurting down this grado for at least three-quarters of a mile, and the supposition Is that Wllllnms In tended to let bin big mogul tako a few fast steps between Victor and Carnforth. Ho hod JurI started on the grade when the explosion which killed both himself and bit fireman and demolished tho cnglno occurred. MnriBlert Hod Ira In lletirln. Neither englneor nor flremnn lived long enough to toll to those who wero first on the scene how the accident occurred. Tho mangled remains found near the baggage car, which was derailed, was evidence enough that both men wero attending to their dullea at the engine, oblivious that there was any causo for danger. Whether the explosion was tho result of negllgenco on the part of the trusted employes may never be known, as tho force ot tho ex- Are Quick to See Good Doctors are Quick to Sot. nnd Appreciate Real Merit In New Medicines. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a discov ery ot treat value to tho medical profera Ion and tho public. They are an unfail ing specific In all cases of dyspepsia and dUorderod digestion. Almost everybody'! digestion Is disor dered more or less, and tho commonest thing they do for It Is to tuko some ono ot the many so-called blood purifiers, which In many caaea aro merely strong cathartics, 8uch things are not needed. It the or gan are In a clogged condition, they need only a little help and they will right them selves. Cathartic Irritate the sensitive linings of the stomach and bowels and often do more harm than good. Purging la not what Is needed. Tho 'thing to do Is to put the food In condition to be readily digested and asstmllatod. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this per fectly. They partly digest what la eaten and give tho stomach Just the help tt needs. They stimulate tho Becretlon and excretion of the digestive fluids and relievo the congested condition of tho glands and membranes. They put tho wholo dlgostlvo system In condition to do Ub work. When that ia done you need take no more tablets, unless you eat what does not ogreo with you. Then take one or two tablota gtvu them needed help and you will have no trouble. Its a common sense medlclno and a com mon some treatment and it will' euro ex rv time. Not only cure tho disease but cure the cause, floes about tt in a perfect ly sensible and scientific way. We have testimonials enough to fill a book, but we don't publish many ot them. However Mrs. E. M. Faith of Uyrd'a Creek, Wis., says; "I have taken nil tho tableta I got of you and they have done their work well In my case, for I feel like a different per son altogether. I don't doubt if I bad not got them I should have been at rest by this time." H. E. Wlllard, Onslow, la., says', "Mr. Whlto of Canton, was telling me of your Dyspepsia Tablets curing him of dyspopsla from which ho nad suffered for eight years. Aa I am n sufferer myself I wish you to end me a package by return mall." Phil Brooks, Detroit, Mich, says: "Your dyspepsia euro has worked wonder in my case. I suffered for years from dyspepsia but am now entirely cured and enjoy life s I never havo before. I gladly recom mend them."

Mich. ploilon so shattered every part of tho en glno thai It Is Impossible to tell any thing rtbout tho mechanism. The main section of tho boiler was hurled into tho air and forward of tba train for a dis tance of 200 foot along the right of way and Imbedded in the frozen ground along the track. Other parts of the machinery and pieces ot the tender were found scattered along tho main track and the siding for an eighth of a mile. One thing peculiar In connection with tho explosion, which must have been terrific, Is that the cowcatcher did not leave tho track, but Is still standing at tho head ot tho train. fcpvcn Cnr l.rnvf tlie Trnck. Every car In tho train, nnd there were eight of them, left tho track Immediately the englno exploded, except the last car, a vestlbulcd sleeper. Tho train Is vestl bulcd fr6m end to ond and is the pride of tho Hock Island rolling stock. Tho wildest confusion rclgncd on the train when the cars Jumped from the. heavy steel rails and tho bump, bump, bump and rattle bang, bang aroused tho sleeping passengers. Oc cupants of sleeping car bertha were hurled violently from their beds Into the aisles ot tho car or across Into tho opposite berths. Men and women rushed frantically back and forth In their night clothing try ing to And whether anyono was hurt and rubbing their arms and limbs and noses to see whether thoy wore hurt thcmselvos, A hundred or more men from Victor who had rushed down to tho scene of tho acci dent to render any assistance possible found that no one needed help. Two or threo women were found wrapping hand kerchiefs about their' heads, but the wounds wore trivial. There was not a passenger on the train In any way seriously injured.

Each one who was seen stated that the proposed franchise was news to him, and that he knew absolutely nothtng of It, other than what had appeared in tho papers.

It Is said that an ordinance Is now being prepared providing for tho appointment of street sweepers who will be supposed to keep the streets clean. The fire depart ment officials say that It Is almost useless to flush tho streets and shortly after the department had done the work on both N and Twenty-fourth streets Chief Lou Etter made the suggestion that street sweepers were the only solution ot the difficulty.

Digests what you Eat Dyspepsia Cure Stsrratlon seems a strange remedy for any disease. Yet starvation by rigorous diet was onco generally resorted to In cases of Indigestion or other stomach trouble Even yet it is sometimes tried. Such a remedy is worso than useless. Every lay of life consumes aportion of the tissues of the human body. The food wo eat Berve to repair this waste and you can't build up the system by withholding material for the purpose. If the stomach Is in such condi tion that it cannot furnish it the tnttk must be performed without the stomach's assist ance Kotlol Dyspepsia Curo is the only preparation which accomplishes this. Thure are others which act on certain kinds of food, but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure Is tho only one which digests them all as the stomach digests them. Man is so constituted that he needs a variety of food and to reduce this at!ety always produces bad results. In nlnety-nlno cases In a hundred indiges tion is due to lack of so mo of tho elements which constltuto tho natural digestive Juices, usually to the absenco of hydrochlo ric acid from tho stomach. It is by tho ac tion of theso Juices that food Is reduced to a form In which It can be transformed into living tissue. With any of them lacking it is easy to sco that the process of digestion cannot bo perfectly performed. "With the singlo exception of Kotlol Dys pepsia Curo all preparations for the relief of indigestion lack certain of these elements. Consequently they cannot digest all clases of food. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure contains them all. It will digest, anything that the healthy stomach can digest. It is nature's own cure. Don't, resort to stimulating tonics. Such times simply urgo tlin already overworked stomach to renewed exertions. It is like spurring a tired horse. For a moment h responds. Then outraged nature roasserts itself and he falls In a heap. Sedatives are equally Ineffective. At, first they deaden pain hut afterward comes the reaction and keener suffering than before. What the stomach needs Is rest. To ob tain it a substitute must be found for tho natural digestive Juices. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is tho only wttbstltute which accom plishes nature's results by nature's own methods. It gives th stomach perfect rest oy dlgcstlngwhat you cat. No dieting Is necessary. Eat all the good food you want, build up the system and at the samo tlmo relievo the stomach from all responsibility. The rest will restore It to Its natural condi tion and soon effect a completo cure. This is the only rational nnd common sense r.'.cthod of aiding nature. No dieting is necessary.
