Olympla, Waih., June I.- The railroad
commission has received report of .the
4? rest Northern freight wreck . near
Dowoa on May J J, which la altogether
.different from the account heretofore
published. The accident waa invest!
Rated for the commission by A. W. Per-
ley,. inspector of tracks and safety ap
pi lances. The statement given out at
the time of the wreck was that it had
Jeen caused by the poor condition of the
tracK at tna point where the train left
the raws. -...
accom in to Inspector Perley'a re
port the primary cause of th wreck-
was ' a wheel-break six miles east of
Downs on May 11. The wheel waa un
der Great Northern car No. 18871. loaded
with coal, and about 14 Inches broke
out of the rim. The train crew disco v
ered the Kroken wheel at Downs and
notified the proper official, who put
on a four-mile-an-bour order covering a
aiz-mue stretch of track.
. aii tne Broken rails were at once
replaced, but a large number of dinted
ones were left in, and when the sec
tion men went home in the evening
one man was left to patrol the track and
follow each train that passed over, to
detect any further damages. This man.
Greek, went to breakfast at 7 o'clock
in the morning, before being relieved by
his foreman. At 7:10 o'clock a heavy
freight train passed over the track,
meeting eastbound No. 4 at Odessa. No
ne had followed the freight to note
results. No. 4 came past Downs run
nfhg about IS miles an hour and ran
off JL broken rail. It is believed the
xwglnear of No. 4 waa exceeding t!ie
four-mile order when the accident hap
pened. It la the opinion of Inspector
Parley that the wreck would r- been
averted If the track had been i strolled
Immediately after the early morning

Wherever men are gathered together
In' these days before' election a person
of Investigating turn of mind is sure
to hear discussed either the very re
markable demonstrations of the Great
Fer-don or the mayoralty condldates.
As for Fer-Don, no man who has ever
visited Portland has ever attained sucn
fiopularlty In so short a space of time,
lis charitable work, his entertainments
and his free demonstrations, by which
the deaf are made to hear and the lame
to i -walk, may be heard discussed on
every corner, in the homes, everywhere.
in raci, wnere men ana women are gain
red together. .
Every night at his free show (rounds
at Twentieth and Washington streets
thousands gather to witness the won
derful power of his secret preparations.
They marvel to see the lame, tottering
and nearly helpless, being assisted upon
his platform and coming away five
mlnutea later with light and springy
step, rejoicing In a new-found power.
Ther marvel to see the deaf made to
hear again after a single application of
one of his result-bringing preparations.
Many come as skeptics and are com
pelled to believe that which their eyes
see. Like sll successful men Fer-Don
has his imitators, others who seek to
duplicate his work, but who. not know
ing 'the secret of his remedies, cannot
attain the same satisfying results.
The Fer-Don Medical Experts, who
occupy offices in the Grand "Theatre
building at 861K Washington street and
who apply the methods and treatments
this man haa discovered at home and
abroad, are meeting with a merited
measure of success. Their "Syartbgll"
treatment, by which appendicitis may
be cured; their methods of curing
rheumatism and chronio diseases are
being given severe testa and from re
ports are proving a great success. One
of the strongest reasons for their popu
larity Is the fact that they use no
knife nor perform any operations. Gall
stones are removed, appendicitis cured,
tumors and cancers removed without
tne use of a knife and without causing
pain.
This is becoming known,, not only in
Portland, but all over the west, and is
evidenced by the number of people who
call dally from a distance and by the
amount of mall daily received at their
offices, and from an reports their new
and efficacious methods are giving great
satisfaction everywhere.
To Go to East Portland.
Having established his remedies firm
ly, in the large neighborhood adjoining
Twentieth and Washington, Fer-Don-will
close his series of lectures and free
entertainments at that place tonight,
and on Tuesday evening will a pear for
an indefinite stay In Alblna at the large
vacant lots at Williams avenue and
Knott street At this place he will con
tinue to give his demonstrations and
concerts, which as usual will be free,
and expects to accommodate even larger
audiences than. ever.

A NOTED; EVANGELIST'S
: LIFE INSURANCE
4 Ufa tooome of 81,000 a Tsar to the
Widow of &. 8am P. Jones.
The name of the noted evangelist, the
lata Sam P. Jones of Cartersville,
Georgia, Is , familiar to every clttsen
of this country, multitudes of whom
have listened to his eloquent presen
tation .of gospel truths. Mr. Joaea was
always an ardent advocate of life 'in
surance, urging its advantages and
benefits from the pulpit and n his
personal intercourse with the people:
That Mr. Jones practiced what , he
preached Is shown by the fact that he
carried three policies in the Mutual
Life Insurance company of New York.
One. policy , was for 15.000 and jthe
other two were continuous installment
policies, which provided an income -of
$1,000 a year to Mrs. Jones-during
her remaining lifetime. Should she die
within 20 years the payments - will be
continued unyi a total of $20,000 haa
been paid.
The continuous installment policy
was originated by, $he Mutual Life,, and
IS the ideal policy for the protection
of the wldowand the orphan. All con
tracts now written by the Mutual- Life
the Standard Pollclea of New York-
may be settled on the continuous in
stallment . or life Income plan, at the
option of the Insured or beneficiary.
