The last and most important article OF

says in his own paper, editorially:
"Our leading druggist, DIR. W. G. Gregory, in.
forms that his sales of Paine's celery compound
have been wonderful in fact he states that he has
in six months sold more celery compound than all
other medicines combined. There has been a con-
stant demand for it.
Zone of the noticeable cures that this medicine
has made is the case Of Mr.. Phil Clinard who last
spring was republican candidate for county treas

had appetite and was all run down. He COM

there is not a more well and vigorous citizen in
this whole community than Mr.. Clinard. Another
case that comes closer Is that of the wife Of the
editor Of the Ledger. Every one in Oakland knows
that Mrs. Yeargin confined to her bed for three
whole months with neuralgia. At times her pains
were awful, much that her hands would

the family physician, treated her for months, but
all he could do was to alleviate the pains, not

pain all went away; her vitality increased weekly.
and today there is not more healthy woman in

complete recovery, and ask her the cause. and she
has hesitancy In saying that 1t is all due to
Paine's celery compound. This is given voluntarily
in the hopes that others who are af1icted may be
pro1ted by using this great medicine, which to-

RUNAWAY FREIGHT TRAIN,
Thrilling Experience ON a Boston and

thrilling Experience ON a Boston and
Albany Road.
From the Springfield Republican.
The men on Conductor Norton's freight
train on the Boston and Albany railroad
mad thrilling ride recently and the recol-
lection of that experience on runaway
train over the grades of the western hills
VIII remain fresh in their minds for years.
1t was in the small hours of the morning
that the engineer of Norton's train, COM
posed Of twenty-seven heavy loaded coal
cars and five ''refrigerators," noticed as
the cars struck the grade near Beckett that
the air-brakes did not seem to hold. His
hand went promptly to the whistle-pull
for the hand brakes. but the brakemen
were slow about getting their grip on the
wheels and the few minutes delay was
fatal. The brake shoes gripped at the
wheels and scattered showers of sparks
as they rolled on in that mad rush Of the
train down the steep grades and around
the sharp curves of the western passes
where ofttimes seventy feet below them the
river ran and into which each moment
Middlefield and Chester plunged the train
at sixty miles or more an hour waking the
villages from their slumber by it's thun-
derous passage down the mountain range.
They could have seen-if there had been
seeing-the brakemen clinging with scared
faces to the swaying cars, the engineer and
nreman hanging to the sides OF the cab
and heard perhaps the sharp snap rod
after rod gave way on the locomotive un-
der strain Of the rapid rotation of the drive
wheels.
The conductor, to save his caboose from
being snapped off on some sharp curve into
the river bed below, cut loose from the
train and left the cars to their fate. Right
by Middlefield a man watching the ledge
of ice stepped lesurely across the track
and had to jump for his life as he saw
the freight was going at express speed. Il
thought 1t was nv last ride" said the en-
gineer. But the heavily laden cars kept
the track, and it was with sigh of relief
as the swift-running train struck the two
miles of level track beyond Chester that
the men saw that then the force Of the
brakes began to be felt and gradually the
monster runaway began to get under con-
troll. When the momentum ceased the
train came to standstill. and 1t was found
that the running gear of the locomotive
was smashed beyond all possibility of NOV
ing the cars. 1t was only by the help of an
extra engine that the disabled machine
with it's string of cars was finally towed
to this city and the wild ride was over.
Sixty miles an hour Is fast time for ex
press trains. and at this point the Boston
and Albany expresses are only allowed to
reach a maximum speed of thirty miles an
hour-half and probably much less than
half the rate of speed that these men took
in that fierce plunge down the hilr' from
Beckett to Chester. Fortunately the track

ENGLISH WOMEN AT FOOT BALL.

herself so supremely absurd as on last Sat-

teams played a foot ball match in the
grounds of the Crouch End Club Only one
player wore skirts, Mrs. Graham, who
made a capital goal defender for the Red

back hair stuffed into caps not unlike those
which some years ago used to be worn
by brewers draymen. In the North team
the jerseys were red and in the South blue,
and though sthe blending of the colors was
not unpicturesque when the teams were
mixed, it would be an excess Of gallantry
to say that the costume was graceful. So
ludicrous was it that when the teams trot-

burst out into a roar of laughter.
