Railway postal clerks as a class seldom
mention things which happen out of the
ordltinry on their runs and had not the
superintendent of tho division mado public
at Chicago tho finding of an Infernal ma
chine or something of a smlllar nature, on
a mnll car of tho Umaha nnd Ogden route,
no ono except W. J. Nash, clerk In charge,
and his Immediate superiors, would havo
known of on exciting tlmo on Union Pacific
train No. 101, between Omaha nnd Sidney,
on Tuesday, November 20. Since tho matter
has been made public Mr. Nash speaks of
his experience.
"Thcro aro four mall cars on that train
and I was In tho first. Charles Barker, ono
of tho clerks, camo running Into my car
shouting, 'The enr Is on flrel' My first
Impression was that train robbers wero at
work, for I had seen a tramp on tho car
shcitly before. I ran back Into tho enr
from whenco ho came aud found It full of
smoke. This smoke Becmcd to Issue from
tho bottom of a pile of Utah mall, and I
began to shift tho sacks. At tho bottom, In
a nowspapcr sack, I found tho causo of the
smoke. Barker ran for a tiro grenndo nnd
I opened tho sack. Tho heat was Intcnso,
and at tho mouth of tho sack It was llko
standing before an open grate.
"Hurriedly I broke tha grenado In the
sack and then poured tho contents unon
tho floor. Tho flro had originated In n amall
pastoboard box bearing n French postmark.
I unrolled the packago and found ocveral
cartridges, which had apparently exploded.
from uio smoKing mass arose a stench
which was almost unbearable. I proceeded
to Investigate and opened tho box. I could
make nothing of tho packago and turned It
Into Chicago ns unmnllnblo matter. Tho
letters In the stick with tho pneknee were'
scorched, but not destroyed, and tho sack
was uninjured."
When tho matter was sent to hendquar
tors Mr. Nash asked that If tho nature of
the packago were discovered ho would llko
to know what It was. From Chicago, In
two letters, enmo tho Information that tho
experts of that ofllco did not rccognlzo tho
machlno and that It had been scut to Wash
ington for further investigation. Mr. Nash
docs not bollovo that thcro was any "In
fernal machlno" about tho matter, but that
somo one had packed chemicals for ship
ment In such n manner that they Ignited
upon ngltatlon. Every foreign packago of

"DR. GREENE'S NERVURA
CURED MY WIFE."
K. O. PAnSONS.
E. O. Parsons, the well-known druggist of Onset, Mass.," makes
the following remarkable communication:
" Flvo years ago tny wife waa clear down, complotely prostrated by nervous debility.
She hung wavering for n long time between llfo and death, until finally it turned In favor
of life. Hho was ns sick a person us I ever saw live. Wo gavo her Ur. Oreeno's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, and It cured her. No doctor nor any other medicine sho over took
did her half tho good of Dr. Greene's Nervura. And now, whenever sho feels net self Koinir
down a bit. she takes a few doses of Nervura which settles the ca.so nt once In favor of restored
health. I freely and decidedly say It Is the kins of nil medicines, and I cannot Bay enouzh
in its favor from my own experirneo, nnd the report of others. I am awnro that Dr. Urcoii
lo a regular physician, which adds to its value."
The real substantial value of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood nnd nerve remedy
In overcoming tho tendency to nervous excess is very plain to nny one who
makes Investigation. Druggists of good repute who watch carefully tiro effect
of tho various preparations which go through their hands, are in a position to
know what tho practical results arc from the uso of a remedy, and druggists
tell with one voice the great good accomplished by Dr. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy. They know that tho report goes from mouth to mouth nnd
the quick rcsult'of neighborly recommendation Is seen in tho constantly increas
ing demand for Dr. Greene's wonderful niedicine.for which there isnosubstltute.
Dr. Oreene, the discoverer of Nervura, may be consulted free of
charge, personally or by letter, at 35 West 14th Street, New York

Mrs, Jenncss Miller lectured In tho audi

yesterday afternoon. Though tho depart

subject of tho lecture. Mrs. Miller believes
thnt Improper food conditions aro tho root
of much of tho many humnn Ills nnd, that
properly orgnnlzed" food would eradicate
the greater part of existing physical nll
ments. Itcgardlng physical development, Mrs.
Miller said that not one-tenth of American
women nnd girls stnnd correctly. She out
lined tho physiological reasons for a cor
rect posturo whllo standing or sitting.
Mrs. Miller asked that no ono look upon
her aB a drcBS reformer, but rather as a
dress Improver. Sho advocated conceding
what ono can to fashion, but resisting all
of that In conventional dress which tends
to tho degrading of womanhood.
Mrs. Miller has changed many of her
Ideas alnco sho last spoke In Oamha and
says that experience has taught her to
apply common senso to the Individual case.
She expresses It as her opinion that It IB

Mrs. Miller will deliver eight more loc-
