When the heavy freight train ran upon the bridge the weakened timbers yielded to the strain and collapsed. The forward part of the train , together with the engine , fell Into the ravine below , killing Conductor Haley and very seriously Injuring the engineer and fire man , who were brought to this city , but whose names and residence the officials de clined to make public. The condition of the former Is said to cause grave apprehension. Charles King , a coal miner at Rlverlon. III. , was cut on the back and shoulder and had his right arm broken. James Muldoon , a miner of the same place , was cut on the face and had his upper lip cut nearly off and right elbow badly sprained. T. W. Glnnls of Lovelake , Mo. , also a miner , was cut about the head" and face and had his ankle sprained.

His head and body were so badly crushed that ho lived but an hour. ( ipiicnil Weaver's hcliemrx. CRESTON , la. , Aug. 7. ( Special to The Bee , ) The democrats and populists of the Eighth and Ninth districts are becoming very loving of late , and are embracing each other In fond manner. There's something In it , for Weaver and Stuart , since this feel ing of affection. The democrats will g to Corning tomorrow and nominate Frank O. Stuart of the Chanton Democrat for con gressman from the Eighth district , and an effort Is being made to have the populists endorse him. As Stuart Is about as much of a populist as a democrat this ought not to be a difficult task. Jimmy Weaver of the Ninth la also addlag his Inllueiice to the scheme. Weaver wants the democrats to endorse him , and ho has a good prospect of their doing so. A number of the Ninth district delegates to the democratic con gressional convention , to be held at the D luffs , have been Instructed to endorse Weaver , and It Is learned that a sufficient number of the delegates have been Instructed to make Weaver's endorsement by the demo crats certain. This will make a fusion In the Eighth and Ninth districts , the calamity class thereby hoping to defeat Hepburn. Water Itcntiil Itmliirocl. CRESTON , la. , Aug. 7.

THE LITTLE ONES , Or , Grlnooll Recommends Lac- taied Food , Cholera In Fan turn Is Reaping1 a Harvest. Lactatecl Food Is the Surest Prcventative. It Has Saved Thousands of In fant Lives. Every Parent Should Now Bo Supplied with It. "After usng lactatcd food for five years In cases of children suffering from cholera Infan turn , and In debilitating or wasting diseases , during which tlmo It never failed mo , I hnvo pleasure In calling the attention of physicians to It , nnd In recommending Its use. " So says A. I1. Orlnnell , M. 11. , the d.in of the medical faculty of the University of Ver mont , and the statement Is published In the Ladles' Home Journal. The statement la of inestimable value to mothers. More than a fifth of all the babies 'born In Nebraska die before they have lived a year. And two 'thirds of thcbo die In slimmer of cholera infantum nml kindred diseases. High temperature makes It difficult for ba by's stomach to digest Its usual food. It Is then thatunusiial precautions must ba taken or the weak , sickly babies fall victims to cholera Infantum , During hot weather the strength must somehow bo kept tip , and yet without bur dening or overturning the delicate digestive organs. H Is jlisl here that mothers and physicians find lactatcd food necessary. The explanation of the great success of this food , In keeping babies strong through the summer Is that In Its composition nature's fond for babies has ben the model. It Is pleasant to the taste and Is taken by babies with relish , and Is easily digested and assimilated. It Is what physicians term n prc-dlgcstcd food , nnd Is especially valuable In all weak conditions of the digestive organs , not only for Infants , but for invalids and aged persons. Mothers may stop worrying about their ba bies after they have once been put on a diet of lactatcd food. Trained nurses keep lactated food on hand oven when baby Is fed on mother's milk. In cases of failure of the natural milk , or when -weaning or during any pobflble Illness of the mother , lactated food best takes the place of the natural food. Try It. It saves babies' lives.
