LOOKS VERY SQUALLY.

Every Reason to Believe That Strike
VIII Take Place on the Southern Pacific.
Houston, TEX, Aug. 25.-There is
every reason to believe that strike will
be inaugurated on the Southern Pacific
by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Ell
gineers. -Four engineers were recently
discharged for what the company con-
sidered good cause and some of them
were reinstated. The engineers then
demanded pay for the time they were
laid off, which was refused. After full
discussion of the matter between Gen
eral Manager Kruttschmitt and the
grievance committee the company Of
fered to arbitrate the question, but the
engineers would not agree to this, and
the affair looks squally. The whole
matter has been referred to President
Huntington for his decision. Should he
sustain the position of the general man.
ager the men will go out.

Wrecked by Spreading Rails.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 25.-The westbound
night express on the Panhandle road
was wrecked near Bulger station Satur-
day morning. The engine and two pos
tai cars left the track and plunged along
the ties until stopped by the application
of the air brakes. The postal clerk in
the first Car had his head injured,
but none of the passengers We're in
jured, although the cars were crowded.
When the wreck was investigated the
officials discovered that the spikes and
fish-plates of two rails had been removed,
and under the engines heavy weight
the rails spread. The company believes
that the same gang which caused the
disastrous wreck at Osceola, on the
Baltimore and Ohio, is at the head of
the work, and thorough investigation
is to be made. A peculiar fact is that
just fifteen minutes before the arrival
of the express Il freight passed over the
same track

TURNED UPON BY THE BRUTE WHILE
TYING HIM UP.

WICHITA, KAN, Aug. pa farmer
named H A. Smith was killed on his
place near Mulvane yesterday by mad
horse. Smith was tying up the brute

by the shoulder and threw him down.
Just then the barn door closed, shutting
off all means of escape, and the horse
viciously attacked the man, biting,
paving and kicking until Smith seized
a club and with it killed his horse. He
was so badly exhausted, however, that
he died shortly after being discovered,
when he had just strength enough to
tell of the fight.

TAKE CAREi THERE Is DANGER
In allowing inactivity of the kidneys to
grow through neglect; the deadly shoals
of Bright's disease and diabetes will wreck
the goodly bark of health if it is allowed
to drift rudderless upon them; the bladder,
too, if inactive, and judicious medication
does not speedily direct the helm toward
the port of safety, will be whelmed by the
quicksand of disease. In selecting diu-
retic, let your choice fall upon Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, which stimulates the re-
nal organs without irritating and exciting
them, two effects to be apprehended from
the unmedicated stimuli largely resOrted
to; these have a tendency to react preju-
dicially; the Bitters invigorate the kid
neys and bladder, in common with the
nerves and the digestive organs, and so
afford lasting aid; it also affords dual
assistance in preventing and curing in
termittent and remittent fever; bilious
ness, constipation and rheumatism it also
subjugates. 8 7-4t
