Overton Loses Life Friend in Captain Brown s Death Among those who grieve over the death of Capt. O. M. Brown of i-Council Bluffs is Capt A. Overton, his friend for more than half a century. Captain Overton, like Captain Brown, secured his title by commanding Missouri river steam boats. Although Captain Brown was 86 years old Captain Overton is his se nior and had several years' more experience in the rugged life of riv er navigi.on than his friend. He also encountered more hardships and danger and lost five boats by wrecking, while Captain Brown never lost any, due somewhat to the fact that Captain Overton was always engaged in heavy freighting while Captain Brown commanded boats designed for the first class passenger traffic. Captain Overton recalled yester day one of the many incidents that attached him warmly to Captain Brown. He rescued Captain Over ton and part of his crew after the Iatter's boat had been wrecked and the mate drowned. The catastrophe happened July 4. 1857, and was of an extraordrntry character. Captain Overton had tak en a commission to transport a car go of coin from thelower end of the Peru bend to Omaha. The riv er made a huge bend where Peru now is located. It was 20 miles around the bend to the point where the corn was to be loaded and less than half a mile across the narrow neckpf land. The Overton boat, the John Bish op, had steamed around the bend and had tied up at the lower side of the narrow peninsula where the cargo was being taken on. The work required some time and the boat remained over night. Several thousand bushels of corn were aboard the next day, July 4, when the river suddenly burst through the neck. Trees, earth and a torrent of water struck the boa', carried it out into the stream and capsized it. Without steam pres sure it was helpless. The first mate, a St. Joseph man, was lost, and Captain Overton and other members of the crew were clinging to the smokestacks. There wexe no small boats to rescue them and they appeared to be doomed. About the middle of the day, after hours of peril, Captain Brown, com manding a powerful sidewheel pack et, hove in sight, and by skilful navigation saved all of the men. The Bishop and her cargo was a complete loss. The two captains had been acquaintances for a num ber of years. After the incident they were comrades. Among the many who will pay tribute to Cap tain Brown today none will lay a flower on his bier with greater rev erence and affection than Captafn Overton.

BIG TRANSPORT SINKS WITH U.S. TH0QPS ABOARD Former Garman Liner -Goe! Down in Hoboken Harbor; Five Soldiers and Two Sailors Missing. Hoboken, N. J., Oct. 15. Shortly kbefore the American transport America, formerly the German trans-Atlantic passenger steamship Amerika, was abou to sail today for Europe with soldiers and sup plies, the vessel foundered at its pier here. In the early morning darkness, while the troops aboard were sleep ing, the America settled with its keel in the mud, leaving only three of its eight decks, together with parts of its funnels, above water. Three privates and two sailors are reported missing. Troops Guard Pier Troops were placed on guard out side the pier and details regarding the sinking were denied to inquir ers. The cause of the accident re mained a mystery even to Navy de partment officials. A theory ex pressed in some quarters that water poured into the holds as a result of uncompleted repairs apparently did not conform with the fact that the ship was ready to weigh anchor to day for a foreign port. It was learned that a gang of ma chinists was at work at the time the vessel settled and it was suggested that one of these men inadvertently opened a sea-cock under the impres sion that he was closing it. The submerged America, snext to the largest of the government's transports, was within sight of per sons crossing the lower Hudson on ferry bats. , Was Big Vessel. The America, of 22,622 tons gross,, has a capacity of carrying 8 000 troops and a crew of 1.200 men. Of the troops, it was said that only 200 or 300 were on board at the time. All the coal had been placed in the bunkers except a small portion to have been loaded today. Inasmuch as all the troops and crew are reported to have escaped, it was believed the vessel 1 sank slowly. The sinking of the America makes the second transport thus put out of commission in New York har bor since the war. On April 25 last the liner St. Paul sank while being warped into its pier. Water poured into an open coal port and it turned over. The St. Paul was not raised until about two weeks ago. May Develop Scandal. Hoboken, N. J... Oct. 15. The America sank in about 35 feet of water and the raising of the ship is not regarded as difficult. Six weeks ago it was learned to day an explosion of a steam pipe on the America cost the lives of two men, several others being in jured. No fire or explosion accom panied today-s mishap. A board of inquiry composed of seven members, whose names were withheld, began an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the sinking of the transport.

They clog the pores and eventually form a permanent, soggy, stif ling film which interferes with eliminative action and makes the skin sickly and pasty. There is an application mercolised wax which acts upon an entirely different prin ciple. While perfectly harmless, it has the peculiar property of removing by absorp tion the dead and half-dead particles of scarf-skin, as well as unhealthy matter in the pores Thus it takes away from in stead of adding to the complexion. diffr ing in this respect from cosmetics. The result is a perfectly natural and healthy young complexion. Mercolized wax, pro curable at any. drug store (one ounce is sufficient), is applied at night like cold cream and washed off in the morning. The correct princinle in the treatment of wrirklea is to t;rhten the skin, which naturally irons out the lines.

But the lower part is concerned with the elimina tion of waste material It is, in other words, the great sewer of the body. The more food eaten, the greater the waste. If a sewer becomes closed up, its contents stagnate and become more and more dangerous. Constipation means more than failure to evacuate the bowels regularly and thoroughly. It means stagnation, increased fermentation, putrefaction and germ action. Increased amounts of irritating and poisonous substances are formed. Absorption of these into the blood follows. Self-poisoning results. Danger, disorder, disease, or even death follow. Pills, purgative mineraf waters, castor oil, salts, etc., do not cure constipation or prevent its con sequences.
