Quick work on the part of a tnon Stork yards switchman probably saved one of the most disastrous wrecks In the his tory of the Rock Island road. Rock Island freight No. 9T, which Is made up by the havy engines from Council Bluffs, was pulling westbound to the Albright sta tion at about S a. m. yesterday morning. As the train nwared the station the crew saw the headlight of the eastbound freight No. M appearing at full speed. To save a collision Weaver, the engineer, reversed his engine and when the two engines ap peared about to strike, both he and his fireman Jumped oft. The two engines came together, but the westbound train was already moving fast on the reverse and tha Impact wa slight. After that the train ran wild back through the South Omaha yards. The ITnlon Stock yards switchman saw the train approaching and with great forethought threw the switch and turned the train, then moving at the rate of about thirty mile per hour, upon a line of dead refrigerator cars. The collision with these cars occurred under the X street viaduct. About six of the cars were wrecked and the contents scattered over tho siding. The stove in the way car of the train Ignited the woodwoik of the cars and the South Omaha fire department was called out and had some difficulty In extinguishing the blaze. If the puzzle had not been turned the wild train would have ran Into the Union depot In Omaha at a terrific rate, provided it had not wrecked the early passenger train on the way. As It was, the loss was about $10,000 from the wrecked cars. Myaterloas Accident at Parkin I'laut. A mysterious accident occurred at an early hour Tuesday morning at the Omaha Packing plant. Michael Mitchell, a man employed as an ash trucker, was found by his companions lying unconscious at the ash dump, having sustained a fracture of the skull and injuries to his right arm. The man was discovered at about 3:30, He was unconscious and when he partially re covered could tell nothing of the cause of his condition. The workmen surmise that his ash truck upset and struck him, knocking him down. Otherwise they are at loss to account for his serious Injury. Pos sibly he might have been attacked by some unidentified parties, but there is nothing to indicate such an attack. He was re moved to the South Omaha hospital where his skull was operated on to lift up the splintered bone and relieve the pressure on the brain. It Is thought he will recover provided no unlocked for complications set In. The man live at Twenty-first and 8 streets. South Omaha. 'He Is one of the night gang at the Omaha company's boiler house. Discussion of Annexation. The Highland Park Improvement club will meet at the Lincoln school tonight to discuss many Important public questions. Of late a strong sentiment has been dis covered In favor of annexation and the club members will be given a chance to present their opinions. The president of the club bas secured the services of several men who favor the move and there will be some probably who will take the opposite side of the question. Aside from this the clnb is much interested in the project of a via duct on west F street. This street I now being graded from Twenty-sixth to Twenty ninth, or to the east approach of the via duct as it Is now planned. The question of an additional bond Issue for the sewers and the manner of Its presentation to the legis lature will be topics of discussion. Prog-res on Malt Plant. The Bryson-Peterson malt plant at Twenty-ninth and B streets is taking on extensive proportions and the new eleva tor has the frame raised. It has been found that the cost of the plant will be much greater than at first contemplated. It Is now believed that fully $160,000 will be ex pended before it Is oomplete. The small plant belonging to the company, has sold about 600,000 bushels of malted grains dur ing the past year. While It is not hoped that this plant will be able to supply all of the local demand, yet It will take a large share of it. Appraising; Damaajrca In Alley. The board of appraisers for the paved alley In block eighty-one. South Omaha, met with the citizens and attempted to come to an understanding as to the dam ages arising from the change of grade of the alley. Its finding will be reported to the city council next Monday night. There ..BARGAIN FRIDAY.. Suits for Young Men and Men Strength Comes Not From What You Eat. But From What You Digest. Most people eat most foods without discrimination It matter little what. Pew atop to think what that food doe for them. This Is the first turn on the road to dyspepsia. Reckless disregard of the proper choice of foods, rapid eating and Improper mastication, are the un questioned causes of all stomach disor ders from the slight ache to the malig nant cancer. There la nothing more revolting than a dyspeptic stomach a very vat for putrefaction, sending forth Its poison throughout the entire system, depressing the brain, befouling the breath, souring the taste, deadening the musclas. Incapac itating the liver and kidney for their work, debilitating the heart, choking the lung and clogging the bowel. All of these disagreeable and dangerous conditions are due to the Improper diges tion of food and the consequent assimila tion of poison. What els can be ex pected? If the food lies In the stomach, If the system Is constipated, fermentation Is the natural outcome. It shows Itself In sour watery rising, belchings, heart burn and painful breathing. There is only one way to relieve this condition. If the stomach refuse to di gest your food put something Into It that will. Stuart' Dyspeptic Tablets are noth ing but digestives.

STERLING SILVER Frenser, 16 & Dodg CROWDED STREET CAR VICTIM John Burns Knocked front Rear Platform and Has Sknll Fractured. John Bursa, 1125 North Twenty-ninth street, South Omaha, aged 17 years, lies In a critical condition at the Omaha General hospital with a fractured akul' and internal injuries, a victim of the ex cessive overcrowding of the South Omaha street cars. How Buras was injured has not been definitely learned, but a woman and a man who said they saw Mm tall assert he was knocked from the rear plat form of a southbound car to which he was hanging by a northbound car on the viaduct at Sixteenth and Mason streets. The accident occurred early In the even ing, during the rush hours, when the South Omaha cars are taxed to a greater ex tent than any other line in the city. Every inch' of space Is occupied by a passenger, and particularly on the rear platform do men and women hang on, no matter with what discomfort. Among the latter was Buras, but he must have leaned over too far, so that he was caught by a car bound in the opposite direction and swept off. He was at first taken to Beranek's drug store. Sixteenth and William streets, where he was attended by Dr. Bwoboda, and the police were notified. When the pa trol wagon arrived with Surgeon Pugs ley, Dr. Bwoboda ordered the man taken to the hospital Immediately, where he later performed an operation. Burns wss said late in the evening to have a fair chance to recover, although the fracture was severe and he had In tednal hemorrhages. The man is a laborer and ha a wife and child. The patient had not recovered conscious ness Thursday afternoon and his recovery is still doubtful. Dr. Swoboda said it would be a most remarkable case if Buras recovers, ss the back of the skull is com pletely crushed in, the brain being plainly exposed to view. HOLDUP SUSPECT IS CAUGHT Thomas galllvan Thongrht to Bo (he Pal of Morrison, Already la Jail. In the opinion of Detective Mitchell, the way to handle holdup men Is to catch them In the act and take them to Jail. A remark on the subject to this effect was dropped by the officer apropos of the arrest of Thomas Sullivan, 2515 M street, South Omaha, by the police of that city Wednes day night, whom Mitchell later brouaht to the Jail here. According to the belief ot Detectives Mitchell and Sullivan, the man Is the one who escaped of the two whom they say they caught In the act of holding up Lester McCormlck at Twelfth and Dour las streets Monday night. As tha two offi cers were approaching the corner and were about bait a block away, they were at tracted by th actions of three men, ana bellevtng a holdup to be In progress, they ran ahead and, revolver In hand, pursued the two, who started to run as they came up. Mitchell captured James Morrison, but the other got away. McCormlck was very much Intoxicated and his statement that he was robbed could not be given much weight at first, while Morrison asserted McCormlck had started a fight with them. They were both held, however, and a search begun for the miss ing man. Meanwhile, i when McCorm'ck sobered, he discovered he was short 118. Th result of the search was the arrest of Thomas Bulllvan. When brought here he held his mouth shut tight and refused to say anything. The South Omaha police gave Morrison and Sullivan a most unsav ory reputation.
