Reader, the above is a yarn If people
would believe the following truthful state

stories, it would be the means or saving
thousands of lives. The statement which
we desire to make in the most emphatic
manner, is, that DR. Pierce's Golden Med

a fair trial, will actually cure consumption
Of the lungs, which is really scrofulous dis

cine don't do all we recommend, when taken
as directed. We will cheeifully and promptly
return al! money paid for it. Can any offer
be more generous or fair No other medi-
cine possesses sufficient power over that
fatal malady -Consumption, to warrant its

was cold and rigid, and a CHASTITY wound
oyer the right ear told the cause of death.
Near by, on the ground, lay q bulldog re-
volver of thirty eight caliber. The young
mans home was in Otsego, where his
mother resides, and no was once remarka-
bly, bright and happy. About a year ago,
while the two we've bathing, his brother
was drowned, and the event seemed to
cast cloud upon his mind which time only
darkened. He was brought to this city to
live with his uncle, f. +. Sweet. and after
q few weeks upon the latter's farm in Da-
kota, which did him no good, was brought
back and given light work in the Office Of
the Princess dressing case company. He
f(as always brooded over his brothers
death and seemed to blame himself. A
letter left in his room says he was tired OF
living and would not trouble his friends
any more The body was taken to Otsego
for burial.

A Chicago smashup.

A collision between Burlington subur-
ban train and an Illinois excursion train at
Eighteenth street and Kedgie avenue, Chi
cago, Sunday night, resulted in the death
of five persons and the serious injury Of a
dozen others, three Of whom win probably
die. A number OF others received cuts
and bruises but were able TO go home
without assistance. During the day the
Illinois Central had run an excursion to the
end Of their line, the orphan asylum at
Addison, Ill. and IL was this train which,
while blocked" in the outskirts OF the city
and waiting to be released, was crashed
into by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
suburban. Engineer Robert j. Dickson OF
the Burlington train claims that the rear
red lights OF the Illinois train were burning
SO dimly as to afford him no warning OF
their presence.
Other reports have it that the Burling-
ton train was behind time and was running
at reckless rate. Engineer Dickson says
that as quickly as possible he reversed his
engine and applied the air breaks, but the
momentum of the heavy train was too
great, and it struck the excursicl train
with great violence. The rear car was
lifted from the track and forced through
the next car ahead which in turn was
forced into the third car from the rear.

Poison Pork.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Sept 1S.-One hun
dred Negroes were poisoned Sunday near
Dollirns. Dallas county. Two of them
died that day and six others died Monday.
The last news from the neighborhood is to
the effect that many others are seriously
i'll and their death is hourly expected. A
big revival meeting had been going on a
week near the town of Collins. The
meeting was TO a close last Sunday, and it
was decided TO give grand dinner to all
who attended. Elaborate preparations
were made and there was plenty Of food,
One course of the dinner consisted of har-
bccued pork. liberal supply of which was
provided. There were not enough tables
to feed the entire crowd at once or the ia
talities would have been much greater.
Soon after those who ate at the first table
finished they complained of feeling sick
and in few moments several of them
were suffering severely They decided
it was the pork tbs, had made them sick
and no more pork was eaten. And the
physicians in the neighborhood were sum-
moned and at once pronounced the sickness
the result of poison. The barbecued
pork was examined and the ply
sicians found traces of arsenic in it.
The symptoms of those taken Ill were those
of arsenical poisoning. Everything pos
sible was done by the physicians, but two
children died i'll a short time. Next day
six grown persons, four women and two
men, died in great agony.

The Train Wreckers.

In the matter of the confessions of three
knights of labor duplicating Master Work
man Lee OF district assembly EAT, in the
wreck on the New York Central railroad,
Mr.. Wright of the general executive board,
speaking for the general officers of the
order, sSJ.: Until these confessions
were published we believed that Reed,
Cordial. Cain, Buett and Kinnan were in
nocent of the charges preferred against
them. We intended to defend them, but
since they swear that they took part in the
wrecSing of trains, we will make thor
ough investigation and lend every assist
ance 10 the authorities to bring the guilty
parties TO justice. The order of the
knights of labor does not recognize
that sort of warfare, nor does it tolerate
within Their ranks men who will resort to
it. l cannot believe that Master Workman
Lee had any knowledge of the guilt of these
men. Their claim that he gave them
money to leave the country with do not
credit. l know that Lee had very little
money, and the money that was given the
executive committee of the district did not
pass through his hands,"
