Robinson's Circus Wrecked.

ST.. PAUL, MINI, October "A ter
rible accident happened on the Fergus
Falls branch of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, seven miles West of here, this
morning, by which five men lost their
lives and thirty or Forty more were more or
less injured. John Robinsons show left
Wahpeton, Dakota, for this place in two
sections. When within seven miles of
Fergus Falls, near small place named
French Head, the baggage section broke
in two while goirg up a heavy grade and
ten or twelve cars went flying back at a
terrible rate. On the rear of the train
were three sleeping cars occupied by the
men, over two hundred in number, all of
whom we're sound asleep. The cars
which had broken loose increased their
speed as they approached the second or
cage section, and probably had run a
mile before they struck it. The engineer
of the rear section saw the cars approach
ing, but only had time to stop his train
before the cars struck him. The brake
man on the loose cars tried to put on the
brakes, but They had difficulty in running
from car to car on account of the wagons
which impeded their progress. If the
engineer of the rear section had had only
moments more time he could have
backed his train aud avoided the calami-
ty but it was too late, and the cars
struck his engine with tremendous force,
throwing the three sleepers from the
track and smashing them beyond rec,g
milton. More than 100 men were buried
in the Debris The scene can hardly be
described. The night WAS fesrfully dark

Killed by Bee Stings.

GoULDvILLE, Pa, September 24.-
Thomas Fader Of this place keeps several
hives of bees in his garden. Yesterday
forenoon he was at work among his
bees. A man with whom he had some
business dealings called at his house to
see him. Mrs. Fader went out to call
her husband into the house. AS she ap.
preached the bee hives number of bees
flew into her face, and she was stung
several times. One of the bees stung
her in one of her nostrils, and another
one stung her on the upper lip, at the
base of The cartilage dividing the two
nostrils. Mrs. Fader's cries brought her
husband to the spot. He extracted the
stingers and applied wet earth TO the
wounds. He went with his wife back
to the house and had nc thought of any
consequences resulting from the bee
stings more serious than the swelling and
pain. He left his wife in the kitchen
applying ammonia to the wounds, and
entered front room where his visitor
was. A few minutes later he heard Il
heavy fall in the kitchen. He ran out
and found his wife lying in convulsions
on the floor. Her nostrils were swollen
shut, and her lips were twice their natu-
raj size, ard had turned dark blue. She
brcathed short and quick through her
mouth. Her face was so swollen that its
idenity was entirely lost. Mr.. Fader
hurried his visitor after doctor, but
before one arrived his wife died in her
husbands arms. The doctor said that
the stings in her lip and nostrils had sent
a shock like electricity to her brain, and
from that to her lungs and heart, so
severe that she was unable 10 rally from
it. Mrs. Fader was % years old. 1t was
but forty.6ve minutes from the time that
she was stuns until her death.

How 10 Make our Sabbath Schools The
most Profitable and Interesting.
BY MRS. w. B. QUAILs.

Much has been spoken and written on
this subject, and many ideas advanced,
and some progress made towards the So
luton Of this problem, yet it is an mex.
haustiblc theme, one that is always in
teresting. In treating subject so broad
and comprehensive, we can do but little
more than give mere outline of what
we conceive to be of most essential i'm
portance in promoting this grand and
glorious work.
In the first place, the success Of Sab.
bath School depends largely on the
Superintendent. He should be an active,
earnest, Jealous man. With his whole
being permeated with the love of God,
as presented and carried on through the
agency of the Sabbath School. He
should let nothing prevent him from
being in his place except when Provi-
dentially hindered. He should overlook
each class and not leave it to the Secre.
tary to see that they are in their places
in time. He should endeavor to learn
each little ones name, and let them
know by his actions that he feels a per-
sonal interest in each one. Let him
have kind word and genial smile for
each one Of his pupils, for the larger

Seeking the Men who Bore 1t.

At the bloody and stubbornly fought
battle of Franklin, Tenn, late in No.
vember, 1864, the Oath South Carolina
Regiment charged Federal fortilication
and beat back the troops behind il after
a desperate struggle. The color bearer
of the 9th Ohio Regiment was confront.
ed by several Confederate soldiers, the
most of whom are now citizens of Edge
field County. He was called on to sur
render, but refused to do so. One of the
Confederates urged him to relinquish the
flag, telling him that he had done all O.
brave soldier should, and would surely
be killed. He refused, and died holding
to his flag and defending it to the last.
Gen. Ellison Capers, now the rector of
Christ Church of this city and then Col.
onel in command OF the regiment, had
been shot down in the fight and was then
lying wounded and disabled. The men
who had captured the flag took it to him
and he has had it in his possession since.
1t is very handsome flag, made of
silk aud bears the name of its regiment,
's91th Ohio Volunteers" 1t also has
the name Of a battle in which the regi.
ment had formerly participated and
bears marks of service, q number Of bull
let holes being visible.
At a recent rcnnioH Of the oath South
Carolina volunteers Gen. Cspers directed
the attention of the surviving members
TO the flag, and they were unanimous in
the expression OF the wish that it be re-
stored to the brave men who fought so
we'll under it. Gen. Capers has been
endeavoring to get into communication
with some of the survivors of the eth
Ohio, but his efforts have been unsucces.
ful to this time He has received, how.
ever, the following letter from Gen. j..
NJ. Schofeld showing that the matter
has been put in the proper channel and
that the men who faced each other so
iercely at franklin will soon be in
amicable correspondence:

A Paradise.

It is difficult matter to impress upon
the mind of the rural man of Arkansas
the necessity for paying immediate
attention to he heather. During a
camp-meeting in Saline county, a
preacher from Little Rock made an elo.
quent appeal in favor of the poor wretch
who eats the harmless missionary
instead Of eating hurtful pork. When
the preacher had concluded, an old
exhorter arose ald said:
Brethren, PIE been nightly inter
ested in this 'lect; ;oneerin' fur the heather
an 1 would like to know something
about him."
Then addressing the minister who had
Just taken his seat, the exhorter said
Brother, I would like to ask you few
questions. The boys all say they are
waitin' to see what stand take, so you
won't object TO a few questions, will
you?"
Certainly not"
"Thankee Well, now, how's politics
in the heathen country?"
"He knows nothing of politics.
"Ah, hah. Wall, how's the question
of capital an labor?''
"Thero is no capital-no labor"
"No strikes ?"
"No."
"Got no canderdates ~
"No candidates"
"Dont have to wear no clothes, if
understand the situation"
"They have no clothes"
"No lawyers there, I reckon ?"
"No lawyers"
"Wall, parson, that's the country Pm
lookin' fur, an eff a emigration agent was
to come here he'd ketch every sensible
man in Saline county. Boys, 1 don't
think we ken give Mr.. Heather any
thing. 1t would be as foolish as haulin'
water an pouring it in the river"

In that empty seat?
1.-THE children are gathering, glad and bright,
So gay as in by-gone hours,
There's only one Lying still and white
Under dropping flowers.
'The lads come in with the rosy flush,
And ring of healthfu tone,
There's only one in an icy hush
Sleeping alone.
1.-THE bloom of his youth held hopes and joy,
And long life stretched before,
But the school will gather without one hoy,
Forever more.
All! friends, II the class be yet complete,
Work steadfastly on and pray,
God keep you from the empty seat,
We know to-day.
"And We, who with tears how yainly sought,
The place of the resting one,
God pardon US now for the little wrought,
And work undone.
''Had VIC only known, when we called his
name,
That lesson would be his last,
Deep Deep VIC bow our heads in shame
For the time is past.
"a little while and the young hearts all
Must into the stiffness come,
o! Master, use us ere night shall fall
To bring them home"
There is also duty incumbent on the
pupils. They should also strive to be in
their places in time with lessons we'll
learned. You cannot imagine tho wealth
of good it does the heart of your teacher
to meet your bright sunny faces, and see
you take an interest in what he or she
says, ever ready to give your views on
any subject when called upon, and do it
pleasantly, not like it was task imposed
on you. You should prepare your
lessons so as to be able to answer any
question promptly that may be assigned
you. Let me suggest Sabbath evening
as a suitable time for studying our Sab
bath School lessons, and whenever we
have time during the week, let us study
it over again; we cannot know it too
we'll. 1t is also very interesting, as we'll
as profitable for each member of the
class to look out every reference given in
the lesson; it enables lis to keep the
chain of ideas so that not one link will
be broken or lost. If circumstances
have prevented you from preparing your
lesson as you would wish, don't take
your seat in another part of the house as
if you were only a disinterested visitor,

An Effective and Reliable
Remedy for all Liver
Complaints !

All people in all countries are subject
more or less to Liver Complaints. Over.
eating, rich food, lack of exercise, over
work, and in fact, any violation of the
laws of health causes the Liver ITO be-.
come torpid, and when it does, then
follows an almost innumerable list Of
diseases torturing in their nature and
dangerous in the end if not promptly
attended to. The most common are:
Costiveness, BilliOusness, Diz-
ziness, Weakness, Indiges.
ton, Dyspepsia, Nervous.
ness. Pains i'm the Side,
Back and Limbs,
Foul Stomach,
Loss of Appetite, Impure
Blood, Giddiness, Heart
burn, and, worst Of
all, Nervous and
Sick Headache.
All the complaints named above aris|
from Torpid Liver, and to be cured o|
them the Liver must be aroused and
caused to do its work, otherwise the bild
and poisons it should take from the food
of the body and supply to the bowels al
their natural purgative, will poison thd
blood and aggregate the disease.
Stimulate the Liver to healthy, vigor1
Gus action, and it will secrete all tho
impurities of the blood. The blood
thus deprived of all waste matter and
poisons, pure, rich and life.giving, will
course through the veins, driving disease
from the system and restoring health and
strength. While WILHITE'S LIVEH
AND. HEADACHE PILLS act direct
ly upon the Liver and Bowels, and make
pure, rich blood, they do not in theiI
action debilitate the system and leave
one in a worse condition than before
taking them, but they contain a powerful
tonic for the Stomach, and if taken on4
at time occasionally, after having takea
full dose from two to three), they will
build up the system. They are indeed 1
splendid Stomach Pill, and, for this rea|
son, have proven to be an Indispensable
Remedy for the painful and distressing
maladies, HEADACHE and SICK
HEADACHE; which occur 80 frequently /
and extensively. These dreadful evils il
their various forms are the direct result
of disordered Stomach, caused by in|
digestion or an inactive Liver, and cal
be relieved and permanently cured BY
the use of WILHITE'S LIVER AN d
HEADACHE PILLS.
A large proportion of the America3
people are subject constantly to thes|
dreadful diseases and drag out a miserl
able existence, trying in vain to get rel
lief from outward applications and sedaI
tives, while the source of the trouble il
overlooked. WILHITE'S LIVEH
AND HEADACHE PILLS strike al
the root of these diseases, in acting upo1
the Liver, thereby removing the caus|
and restoring health. Thay are purel1
vegetable, contain no deleterious Druga
and are reliable remedy in all cases d
Liver diseases and their various compli|
cations.

are as follows: Wheat 10 cars fine
winter and 30 cars Of spring, corn
443 cars and $4,000 bu., oats 10
cars, barley D cars. The wheat
market is rather unsettled, there is
a rumor Of hot wheat in tho eleYa-
tors which creates feeling OF de-
moralization among holders. Corn
was weak at the opening this morn
ing being in sympathy with wheat
aud the favorable crop reports, but
this afternoon it advanced about sc
on former prices caused by reports
Of frost. Oats are dull and without
material change. Rye and barley
quiet and steady. Butter is firm
At higher prices being III good de-
mand. Eggs are in moderate de-
mand bat steady at life. The re-
ceipts of cattle to-day are 1890
head against 1850 head the same
day last week. The feeling is firm
and the prices are a shade higher on
all descriptions. There was an ar
rival OF 50 to Is car loads Of Texans
to-day,
The receipts OF hogs are 1000
while the receipts for this day one
