CAN’T DENY IT.

If This Had Happened Elsewhere Instead of Rensselaer You Might Doubt It. The average man is a doubter. This is not surprising—the public have been humbugged so frequently they are skeptical. Proof like the following will stand investigation. It eannot be disputed. Charles Malchbw, Harvey St., Rensselaer, says: “Kidney complaint and backache kept me in misery for years. The attacks came on so frequently that it seemed as if I was never free from pain. The small of my back was the part most affected but often the pain extended through my shoulders and even into my neck. The kidney secretions annoyed me by their irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault. Years ago I learned about Doan’s Kidney Pills and on getting a supply at Ftndi'g’s Drug Store, used them. After taking a few doses, I knew that I had at last found the remedy I needed. My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my back were removed. I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills since then when having similar attacks and I never failed to get relief.” For sale by all dealers.

TRAIN WRECKED AT ATTICA SUNDAY

Wabash Fast Train Went Through Bridge, Killing Three and Injuring a Large Number.

Sunday afternoon at 1:50 a fast Wabash passenger train plunged through a span of the bridge over the Wabash river at Attica. Three persons were killed and many were seriously injured. A horrible mistake in judgment was the cause of the wreck. A freight train had been derailed at the bridge at noon and the bridge wari* damaged. It was tested by sending a heavy freight engine over the bridge and the passenger train was sent over. It was running very slowly and when the engine was ah across the east abutment began to crumble and the span of the bridge buckled and the engine and tender rolled off to the right side, lighting upside down. The baggage and mail car dropped to the left side of the bridge, lighting right side up, partly in the river. The combination baggage car and smoker dropped 30 feet into the river, lighting on its side. The day coach was left standing on the span of one end of which had fall®, the end of the coach in the writer and the other end rested on the bridge span. The Pullman car and the diner remained on the bridge and were not damaged. Timothy Hull, the engineer, was killed outright. J. Lucian Miller, the fireman, died on his way to Lafayette on a relief train, and Harry Thomas, the express messenger, was crushed so badly he died in a few minutes.

Lorenz Gemmer, 10 years of age, received injuries that will probably prove fatal. Mrs. Fred Gemmer received a broken shoulder, a scalp wound and was injured Internally. Rev. Aaron Wood, of West Lafayette, was in the day coach and his left leg was badly bruised. He was able to go to his home after reaching Lafayette, without assistance. Ray Wright, the auctioneer, suffered bruises but not serious. This was probably a sequel to the flood of a year ago, when the bridge was weakened, and ever since that time it has been rumored that the bridge was unsafe. Had the train been running except at the lowest speed, the list of dead and injured would have been much larger. As it was there were twenty

or more persons who suffered injuries. • An examination of the bridge after the wreck, made by an engineer from Purdue university, disclosed the fact that there were many de sects in the structural work of the bridge. Snapped girders and beams showed that the iron in some cases were entirely eaten away by rust, and in places weakened by crystalizatioh.

Dr. Curnick Called to Terre Haute to Testify.

Dr. Paul C. Curnick, who came to Rensselaer from Terre Haute, where he was always an active worker in the cause of law and order, was summoned by long distance telephone this Monday morning to come to Terre Haute and he left for that city on the 11:05 train. Presumably he will be called to testify in some otf the cases affecting Mayor Don Roberts and others. This will cause the postponement of the passion week services announced for tonight and Tuesday night. He expects, however, to be here for the Wednesday night meeting.
