GROUNDTODEATH
EIGHT KILLED OUTRIGHT AND
OTHERS MAIMED.
RESULTS OF AN EXCURSION
Fast Exiress Plows Into a Crowd that
Had Swarmed Onto Tracks—Man
gled Bodies Hurled m Every Direc
tion.
DETROIT Mich.—The Grand Trunk
Pan-American flyer from Chicago ran
lng, killing between ten and fifteen
men and seriously injuring about
thirty more. The majority of the
killed and wounded are from
Toledo. Fifteen hundred Polanders
from Toledo came up to Detroit
in the morning on a special Lake
Shore train to celebrate a holiday
here. They left the corner of Dequln
der and Canfield streets and went
over to St. Joseph’s church, where
they spent the day with that congre
gation.
The Lake Short! tracks run out l)e
qulnder street and a special train was
to stop for the Toledo excursionists
at Canfield street at 8:fit) o'clock. Ac
companied by hundreds of their local
friends, waiting for the train, the ex
cursionists Jammed Canfield street,
some time before tho train was due
In readiness for It. When the train
was sighted the crowd pushed across
the track and onto the Grand Trunk
tracks, which adjoin those of the Lake
Shore, just as the Grand Trunk Pan
American flyer came thundering in
from the west. The people were
thrown Into the air and dashed to eith
er side or the track.
Many of them were ground under
the wheels. The police department
was notified and all the ambulances in
the city rushed to the scene. The vic
tims were scattered along the track
for a distance of two blocks.
Lanterns were procured and the
work of rescue began immediately.
The scene reflected by the light of
the lanterns was horrible. Gradually
the mangled and crushed were recov
ered and ,sent to the hospitals, where
there was a flicker of life, and to the
morgue when there was none.
At 9 o’clock the police had identt
fled four of the dead.
Patrolman Schultz, who was one ol
the officers on duty at the crossing
said: “We made every effort to keof
the people off the tracks, but It was
Impossible. There were 1,500 excur
( slontsts going hack to Toledo ant
( twice that number of local Poles, wht
, had been entertaining them and wen
. down at the crossing to see them off
, Those behind pushed and shoved th<
! foremost ones and they crawled unde
, the gates, which were down properly
i or jumped over them, despite our lies
, efforts. There was no warning what
5 ever of the approach of the Gram
. Trunk train. No whistle was blow:
and the hell was not ringing.

BILLS LOST IN THE SHUFFLE.
No New Laws Against Ticket'Brokers
and Confederates.
LINCOLN. Neb—One railroad bill,
though passed by both branches of
the legislature and not yet vetoed by
the governor, seems destined to re
main off the statute books. This is
H. R. 28, aimed at the ticket brokers.
It was introduced by Ribble of Saline
along with two other companion bills.
The two bills found their way all right
to the governor's office and were
signed, but this particular one was
lost, presumably Somewhere between
the office of the clerk and the house
enrolling room. Its whereabouts has
remained a mystery and apparently
will continue to do so.
The bill was entitled an act to pre
vent frauds in railroad tickets by im
posing a penitentiary sentence on per
sons altering a ticket or restoring its
appearance or nominal value or upon
whoever trades, traffics or deals or
uses such ticket, which would have
been taken up or cancelled. The other
two bills are to prevent forging or
making dies or plates of tickets.

Efforts Made to Have Sentence Com
muted.
LINCOLN, Neb.—Another attempt
is being made to save the life of Wil
liam Rhea, sentenced to be hanged
July 10. William V. Menzies, a promi
nent attorney from Southern Indiana,
was in the city for the purpose of
starting a movement to that end. He
states that the parents of Rhea, who is
little more than a bov, are respectable
citizens of an Indiana town and are
heart-broken over the fate which
threatens their son. The real name
of the young man not Rhea, but
that has been carefully concealed. The
boy has been away from home for
many years and detectives had been
employed to find him, but had been un
successful until he was located a short
time ago in the penitentiar.- with the
death sentence hanging over him.

DYSPEPSIA OF WOMEN, t
Mrs. E. B. Bradshaw, of
Quthrie, Okla., cured of a severe
case by Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.
A great many women suffer with a
form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does noii seem to yield to ordinary
medical treatment. While the symp
toms seem to be similar to those of
ordinary indigestion, yet the medi
cines universally prescribed do not
seem to restore the patient's normal
condition.
Mrs. Pinkham claims that there
is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused
by derangement of the female organ
ism, and which, while it causes dis
turbance similar to ordinary indiges
tion. cannot be relieved without a
medicine which not only acts as a
stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine
tonic effects as well.
Thousands of testimonial let
ters prove beyond question that
nothing will relieve this distress
ing condition so surely as Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. It always works in har
mony with the female system.
Mrs. Pinkham advises sick
women free. Address Lynn, Mass.
