ANOTHER STORM.
Nine Persons Drowned in a Flood in
New NexicO---Great Apprehension
Felt For the San Pedro Valley.

Tucson, Ariz., October IA special
from Benson says; Part of the town
was washed away and nine persons
drowned in a flood from a cloudburst in
the Milestone mountains, IL miles
southwest 0I7town. The dead bodies re-
covered are:
VIM. Seek. q barber, his wife and two
children, and Oscar Ashburn, a cattle
man. Four more persons are missing.
It is believed great loss of life and de-
suuction of property will be reported
from all along the San Pedro river until
it empties into the ella. The details
of the disaster at Benson and accurate
description of the extent of the Cloud
burst have not been received, but the
rain must have occurred along the whole
length of the Milestone mountains,
as the flood from the western end Of the
samerange tore out three miles OF
Southern Pacific track, - miles west OF
Benson. A wall of water, at least
twelve miles long. was poured into the
Sam Pedro river, hence there is appre-
hension felt for the safety OF persons IN
the valley.

IS IT A TRIFLE?
THAT COMMON TROUBLE, ACID
DYSPEPSIA OR SOUR STOMACH.
Now Recognized as Cause of Serious
Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is a form
Of indigestion resulting from fermenta-
tim of the food. The stomach being TOO
weak to promptly digest it, the food re-
mains until fermentation begins, filing
the stomach with gas, and bitter, sour,
burning taste in the mouth is often
present. This condition soon becomes
chronic and being an everyday occur
renee is given but little attention. Be-
cause dyspepsia is not Immediately fatal,
many people do nothing for the trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solsly TO cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t IS
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
is now becoming rapidly used and pre-
scribed as a radical cure for every form
of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
druggists everywhere at 80 cents per
package. It is prepared by the Stuart
Chemical Co., Marshall, Mich, and while
it promptly AMI effectualy restores a
vigorous digestion, at the same time IS
perfectly harmless and will not injuTe
the most delicate stomach, but on the
contrary by giving perfect digestion
strengthens the stomach, improves the
appetite and makes life worth living.

AN AWFUL WRECK.
Freight Cars Piled Up as High as the
Telegraph Poles 80 Thousands Of
Dollars Damage.

Pittsburg, Pa, October I. - Two
| freight trains collided last night al
Philson. on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, 124 miles east OF Pittsburg. The
grade at Philson is very heavy, the line
descending at the rae Of over 100 feet
to the mile.
The accident occurred at 1870 last
night. Fast freight east No. Z was
! scheduled TO meet west-bound freighi
No. Is at PhilsOn. The latter reached
the siding and waited on the main track
for the east-bound train. Shortly after
| starting down grade, the crew OF IA lost
| control of he train. In aninstant l.
was going at the express speed, and the
crew decided to take chances by staying
aboard rather than jump. As the train
shot around the curve at Philson, the
east-bound train struck the other train
and every car on the former was thrown
to the common centre of the collision and
ground to atoms The engines were
smashed to scrap iron. The other train
was also badly wrecked and debris was
piled up as high as the telegraph poles.
Rescuing crews worked all night, bun
abandoned it at daylight. Supt. Cutter
started for The scene and will personally
attend to the removing of the wreck.
The property loss to the railroad COM
pany will reach many thousands of
dollars.
The latest from the wreck is to tho
effect that only two tramps. names IN
known, are dead. There are others,
however, believed to be under the debris.
OF the eight injured men taken TO the
hospital at Cumberland, two are in a
serious condition. They are Thomas
Owens, fireman, and w. J. Zane, engin-
eer.
The railroad officials say the reports
of the wreck have been greatly exag
gerated, but that there are 30 cars piled
fifty feet nigh and the track will be
blocked for "a hours longer.
