SALINEvILLE SINKING.
A Mining Town Whose Main Street
Has Been Undermined by
Coal Diggers.

The mining town Of Sslineville, ten
miles south Of Alliance, is excited over
the discovery made by committee of
citizens. A year ago the Main street
In the town and thirty residences sud-
denly sank from one to ten feet and a
number Of the dwellings were wrecked.
1t was found that the old Farmer coal
mine, which had been operated forty
years, had undermined that section Of
the town. The court granted an injuno.
tion restraining Brown Brothers, the
present owners Of the mine, from oper-
ating the old shafts leading under the
town. The Browns began operating
several small shafts. Last week there
was another slight collapse along Main
street and several dwellings were dam
aged. The amount of coal taken from
the Brown mines made people suspicious
and committee Of citizens and miners
visited the Farmer mine. 1t is said that
they found that the Browns had dis
obeyed the courts order and were oper-
ating the old part Of the mine. A large
portion Of the pillars directly under the
business portion Of the town has been
removed. Az a conference Of the town
council ana citizens it was decided to
co mnence action against the Browns.

The readers Of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there Is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
IN all it's stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure Is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional diesase,
requires constitutional treatment.

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 so
much faith in Its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that 1t fails to cure. Send for list
