Another Lie Saved.

Mrs. Harriet Cummings, Of Cincinnati,
Ohio, writes: ''Early last winter my
daughter was attacked with asevere cold,
which settled on her lungs. We tried
several medicines, none of which seemed
to do her any good, but she continued to
get worse, and finally raised large amounts
of blood from her lungs. We called in a
family physician, but he failed to do her
any good. At this time friend, who had
been cured by DIR. VIM. Halps BaIsam
for the Lungs, advised me to give it trial.
We then got bottle, and she began to
improve, and by the use of three bottles
was entirely cured.

FOUR BOILERS EXPLODE.
Debris Blown in Every Direction, but
no One Killed,

DlOWn III D1EecBlO1t out
no One Killed.
HARRISBURG, PA, Sept. ia special
from Lykens says: GA terrific boiler ex-
plosion occurred last evening at the Ly-
kens Valley colliery, owned by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. The explO-
sion occurred a little after O'Clock, and
was heard for many miles. Had it
taken place half an hour later the loss of
life would undoubtedly have been great.
The explosion was caused by defective
boiler. Four boilers exploded together,
throwing iron and lumber in every direc-
tiOn Tor several hundred yards. The eXplo-
sion has caused total suspension of work
at Lyken's Valley colliery for several
days. The shut down will last several
weeks. Paul Schultz, Joseph Dunlap and
George Bright were somewhat painfully
injured by being bruised and scalded.
The only person mOrtally wounded is
Elmer KOncher, driver boy, whose flesh
was burned off his body. He also sus.
tanned internal injuries, and it is thoUght
that he cannot live. He resided at Coal
dale. The loss is $4,000, without taking
into consideration the loss from the idle
mines.

SKIERNIwICE, Sept. 1.-THE local police
were advised from Vienna that dynamite
would be found secreted in the coal car
ried by the locomotives. The apoiice at
once made careful examination of the
coal supplies on the locomotives reaching
this point, but discovered nothing of 2
suspicious nature. AS further precau-
tion the officers of railway trains were re-
quired to take an oath of allegiance to
the Car before entering on their duties.
All railway vIaducts over which any of
the imperial passengers were to pass
were carefully examined, and the soil
was cleared away to a depth of three
feet around the supports to make sure
that no dynamite had been lodged there.
The premiers of the three EmperOrs had

WHEN a hair is pulled from the human head
