4 BACK BLOW.
The Weapon Small - but None More
Certain or Effective.

In these times when backs are lame,
when almost every other one we meet has
now and then, or all the time, back that
aches or pains -" q weak back, :" a bad
back" back that makes their life mis-
cry to bear - and still they GO on day by
day in pain and suffering Now It's the
easiest thing in the world to give this
played out back "a blow that will settle
it, and put in its place new one equal to
any It's just like this: hit at the cause;
most backaches come from kidney disor-
ders. Reach the kidneys, start their
clogged-up fibres in operation; when this
Is done you can say goodbye to backache.
Here is case from Battle Creek: Mr..
Josiah Nj. Shoup lives at 81 Broad Street,
he was a member of the Battle Creek po-
lice force for many years. As member
of the force he served the city well, but
the rough weather he was often subjected
to laid the foundation of kidney disorder
which has troubled him very much, Here
is what he says about it:
About three years ago. while on the
police force, contracted from exposure a
kidney trouble, which has since given me
no end of trouble The pain was right
through my kidneys and across the small
of my back; if sitting down and / wanted
to stand up, ] had to arise very slowly and
gently to avoid increasing the pain; had
such tiredout feelings all the time, and l
was steadily getting worse. About two
months ago, hearing of Doan's Kidney
Pills, got box. Their action and effect
was most complete, they removed the old
aching pains for good. / can now get
around as quickly as anybody. Doan's
Kidney Pills are certainly as represented.

90 HURLED TO DEATH.
New York Central Train Piunges into
the Hudson River.


Buffalo and New York special No.
40, on the New York Central & Hudson
River railroad. due To arrive in New
York City at 1880 a. m. was thrown
from the track into the Hudson river,
one and half miles below Garrisons
Station. Twenty-eight lives were lost.
The train left Buffalo at 1880 p. m. and
had gone over nearly nine-tenths Of
the distance towards its destination
when the engine plunged into the
depths of the Hudson river. With his
hand upon the throttle, the engineer
sank with his engine To the bottom of
the stream and the fireman, too, was
at his post. Behind the engine was
the express car, the combination car
and the sleepers and these piled on top
of the engine. 1t is known that il was
trifie foggy and that the track was
not visible, but if there was any break
in the lines of the steel it must have
been of very recent happening, for
only half an hour before there had
passed over it a heavily loaded passen-
ger train. The section of road was
supposed to be the very best on the en-
tire division. There was great heavy
retaining wall all along the bank and
while the tide was high the previous
day it was not unprecedented. What
seems to have happened was that un-
derneath the tracks and ties the heavy
wall had given away and when the
great weight of the engine struck the
unsupported tracks it went crashing
through the rest of the wall and top
pied over into the river. As the train
plunged over the embankment the
coupling that held the last three of the
six sleepers broke and they miracul-
ously remained on the broken track.
In that way about 65 lives were saved.
Later reports from Garrisons say
that 10 bodies have been recovered A
large number of passengers are as yet
unaccounted for, but it is generally
believed that many OF them escaped
from the cars before they sank and
were given refuge in the three sleepers
which remained on the track and were
taken to New York before complete
list of the rescued could be secured.
All of the sunlIen cars have been raised
and burned

REVIEW OF TRADE.

After the heaviest buying ever known in

desirable that more quiet period should
give time for testing the size and temper of
retail trade and for distributing part of the
enormous quantities bought As the buying
for replenlshment Is partly SATISFIED and di-
FINISHES, there is some decrease in the vol
ume OF transactions, though at the same
time the working force has further in
creased. the wages of labor nave been in
numerous cases advanced. and the founda-
