The readers of this paper will be
pleased TO learn that there is at least
one dreadful disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease. and giving
the patient strength'by building up the
constitution, and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
80 much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure. Send

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the con-
troll OF the nerve centers located in or near
the base Of the brain. and that when these re
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fiuid are also deFanged When IL Is re-
membered that serious injury TO the spinal
cord will cause paralysis OF the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force h
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, IL will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve centers viii
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
TwO-thirds OF chronic diseases are due q
the imperfect action OF the nerve cen'V' a.
the base OF the brain, not from a dei Ise-
self. The great mistake of physicians in
.reating these diseases Is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause of the trouble.
DR.. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
:ialist, has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connec tion with 1t, chief among
itatement, and that the ordinary methods OF
reatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi-
less, dullness, confusion, pressure, blues,
mania. melancholy, Insanity, epilepsy, St
Fitus dance, ETC., are nervous diseases no

SEVEN CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Fatal Accident at a stone Quarry in
Vermont.

Fatal Accident at stone Quarry in
Vermont.
RUTLAND, Vt, Feb. 13-One of the worst
disasters in the history of marble quarry
ing occurred at West Rutland little after
O'Clock Saturday afternoon in a quarry
operated BY the Vermont Marble company,
with which Senator Proctor is connected.
great mass of stone fell into the quarry
and seven men were instantly killed and
number of others injured The victims
were crushed so that some could not be
recognized. The men were at work Chan
neling and taking away refuse, and were
all of middle age. The killed are; Will
lam Lukas, Frank Sulig, Edward Powers.
Alexander Blumquest, and three unrecog-
nized men.
Nine Other Men Wounded
The injured are: James Dooley, leg
broken; John Dunn, slightly injured;
Charles Anderson, slightly injured; Fred
Marchand, arm broken; Anton Ractio.
slightly injured: John c. Anderson, slightly
injured; Peter Grenier, slightly injured:
John Michan, slightly injured about the
head; Michael Cupps, slightly injured As
soon as the accident happened the electric
danger signal was rung in at the company's
offices, and the mills and work everywhere
was stopped at once. All the doctors in
West Rutland and Rutland were called by
telephone, and responded quickly. Scores
of men were also sent down into the quarry.
Soon the news spread to the streets, and
hundreds of men, women and children
hurried to the quarry.
Relatives Frantic With Grief
People FROM Rutland and Pittsfield be-
gan to arrive and by 5 o'clock the vicinity
of the quarry was crowded. In the crowd
were many relatives Of the dead or injured
men and they were frantic with grief The
quarry was opened in 1868. Depth and sur
face considered it is the largest quarry in
the world. Its perpendicular depth is over
$50 feet and from this the quarry runs east
ward and downward under the hill 800
feet or more. The accident was near the
extreme end of the quarry, far under the
hill. The killed and some of the injured
were buried under tons of rock and the
work of rescue was necessarily difficult.
Jack Frost Caused the Accident.
The cause of the caving in of the quarry
is not positively known. The mass of stone
which covered the men who were at work
close by was, as near as can be estimated,
sixty feet in length and twenty feet wide.
1t fell without the least warning and all
who were at work there were at once cov-
cred. L. b. Morse, treasurer of the Yer
mont Marble company, says the cause of
the accident is not certain, though the
'scale," or part of the roof that fell. was
probably loosened by freezing. There were
about eighty men at work in the quarry.

most all the points were incorporated in
the text of protocols.
Formal Recognition This Week.
But it is probable that the interview with
the president was informal and carried no
recognition of an official character with it.
The date of official adjournment of the
conferences will probably depend upon the
arrival of the representatives. of the deposed
queen. The conditions all point to this
week as the earliest time when formal
of the matter by the state de-
partment officials may be looked for. In
case annexation of the islands be recon-
mended by the executive the method of
