None of the trainmen were hurt. The
wrecked train was a local freight from
Coffeyville Kan, to Van Buren. While
the train was running at a speed of
20 miles an hour the forward trucks
of one of the cars near the engine
broke, wrecking Is cars loaded with
walnut logs and baled hay. With the
exception of two cars in front and
three cars in the rear, including the
caboose, every car composing the train
was ditched.
In the middle of the train was car
foaded with heavy machinery, and 1t
was in this car that 13 men were steal

and six seriously wounded were taken

The usual dangers of maternity are BAN

the health of the newcomer, and makes
its advent free from danger and almost
free from pain. Over 10000 have testi-
fed to its virtues. Druggists who offer
substitutes are untrustworthy.
