WAR AND RAlLROADlNG!
Loss of Life In These Opposite Branches
Compared.


A committee report gives some statis-
tics which make, on impressive showing
of the great injury TO life and limb in
railway train service. Wellington won
Waterloo and Meade Gettysburg with a
loss of 80, 1856 and 90, 2O3, while the total
loss on.both sides atShiloh in two days
murderops fighting was $4,000 In the
three years war of the Crfmea England
lost''in the killed and Wounded 2t,0S5
men, None of these terrible battles
furnished a list of losses equal to the
loss in a single year of our railroad
men, loss equal, in fact, to the entire
present force of the United States
army. ". -
In the Johnstown flood $3.50 persons
persisted, while during the year 1890
casualties on our railways resulted in
railway employees killed, 2,45l, and in
jured, 22,394 The Johnstown disaster
filed the Imagination with horror and
sent thrill of sympathy throughout
the civilized world, but that calamity
came in one fell swoop, while fatalities
on the railways, involvingin the aggre-
gate far greater sacrifice of human
life, have scarcely. attracted public at
tention. Nightly several poor fellows
are picked off-in the freight-yard, on
the rail-often the only vestige that
morning reveals being pool of blood
and the dismembered remains of the
unfortunate victim. Two lines of a
newspaper headed, brakeman Killed, >
tells the whole story. -Pittsb gh

TOO OFTEN THE CASE.
INTERESTING PROOFS.

A young society lady, after round Of
gayety, becomes suddenly conscious of an un'
usual sensation. She has frequent attacks Of
dizsincss, her back aches, and she feels Jilc and
generally run down.
Mothers, look well to your daughters!

Let the first symptom denoting the APP
proach of disease receive your instant atten-

race. and it is well-nigh criminal to neglect
anything which promises relief.
There is hopefor all sufferers from Nervous
Diseases. Read what follows:
Mrs. Jennie G. Davis, fine artist and an
accomplished authoress, of Westfeld, Wis,
had been subject to headache ever since she
could remember So severe were her at
tacks as to cause at times temporary delirium.
All treatment had failed to relieve her, but
after using DIR. Miles Restorative Nervine
she writes: My record is to me, at least,
satisfactory. No headache, constantly in
creaSing appetite, and consequent gain in
weight Of two and half pounds in just one
week"
Six weeks later she writes: Have read
and sewed immoderately of late, but my
headaches do not return"
Mrs. John Il. Miller,of Valparaiso, Ind
was attacked three years ago with turn of life
in its worst form. 1t finally went 10 her
head, and all indications were that it would
result either in insanity or softening of the
brain. Her husband thus writes; "ltwould
be impossible for me to attempt description
ef her sgtferiags during all this time. She
was treated by our pery best local physicians,
with but temporary benefit. She has taken
four bottles of Dr.. MILES RESTORATIVE

interests of Cudahy Bros. in this city.
The packing business here is conduct
ed solely by Patrick Cudahy, who has

were of an entirely individual char

Cudahy is known as one of the most
conservative business men in this sec

held aloof from all speculation, but ev-
en- fortified the firm against the present
crisis. In anticipation of the slump in
the price Of pork and lard, he some

Of provisions then on hand, so that the
concern will suffer but little from the

DEVILF1SH STORY FROM THE
SOUTH.

The Brunswick (Ga) Times has this
deFilish yarn. Monday morning, while
Colonel GOodyear's crew were on the
bar and a big charge of dynamite
was being raised from the briny depths
on account of a flWlty cap, which
would not explode, TIE workers sud
denly experienced a pulling of the lines
which, were attached to it. Almost in
stantly terrible commotion was
heard liz the waters and the spray
began to rise above the little boat
like immense waves. Suddnly the two
were amazed to see the tentacles of
a monster devilfish soaring thirty feet
in the air. The foaming sea was about
70 engulf the little craft when the
party in thn large boat observed the
commotion.. Ilc touch of an electric
button would haya ended The monster
but the cap had been tried and the,
only way t@ save them was to cut
the wire connection and the ropes,
which was soon done, and the terror
of the seas,. after flashing. around a
short while, disappeared, much to the
relief of the party The thrilling ex-
perience, as related by several gen.
tlenen who were in the party, is in
deed marvellous. No such was ever
seen by them Before and they. all Won
der how the two men ever escaped
from it's awful clutches.
