Gladness Comes

Myth better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
torts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
eighty directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
81 ,kness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is til"
one remedy which promotes interna,
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acs S. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
dcial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you Lave the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
1Sed and gives most general satisfaction.

AN AWFUL ACCIDENT
Engine and Two Coaches Plunged
into the Hudson River.
TWENTY-EIGHT PERSONS DROWNED.
The Retaining Wall Along the River On
dermIned by High Water and tho
Track Caved in Under the
Weight OF the Train.

GARRIsoNs, N. Y, Oct. 25.-The Buff
falo and New York special No, 4, on
the New York Central g. Hudson River
road, was thrown from the track into
the Hudson river ~ miles below here
just before daylight yesterday morn
ing, causing the loss of 2s lives. The
retaining wall along the river had been
undermined by high water in the river,
and the track caved under the weight
of the train. The train consisted OF
the engine, an express car, a combina-
ton baggage and smoking car, one
day coach and six sleepers. The en-
CINE and two of the forward cars are
submerged in so feet of water Engi-
neer Foyle and FiremanTompl1ins went
down with the engine. AS the train
plunged over the embankment the
coupling that held the last three of the
sleepers broke, and they miraculously
remained on the broken track. In
that way some 60 lives were saved.
OF eye witnesses there were none,
except the crew of tugboat passing
with tow. They saw the train with
its light as it came flashing about the
curves, and then saw the greater part
of it go into the river. Some of the
cars with closed windows hoated, and
the tug, whistling for help, cast off its
hawser and started to the rescue. A
porter jumped from one of the cars
that remained on the track and ran
into the yard of Augustus Carr's house,
near which the accident occurred, and
stood screaming for help and moaning:
1.-THE train is in the river All our
passengers are drowned"
In few minutes Carr had dressed
himself, and, getting boat, rowed
with the porter to the scene. AS they
turned point in the bank they came
upon the express car and the combina-
ton car floating about 20 feet from
shore, but sinking every minute. One
man was taken from the top of the
car, and efforts were made to rescue
those inside. A few were gotten out,
the passengers in the cars left upon
the track making human bridge
to the shore to take the wound
ed on. The day coach and smoker
had gone down in the deeper
water and rescue was impossible. In
the latter coach the conditions must
have been horrible. The car turned
completely over and the passenger end
of it was deep in the water, while the
baggage end stood up toward the sur
face. The men in that lower end must
have fought like fiends for brief
period, for the bodies, when taken out,
were mass of wounds.
Last night 100 newsboys were turned
loose on the streets by an afternoon
newspaper with an extra edition which
announced in startling headlines that
$50 persons were killed in the New
York Central wreck The newsboys
yelled Justify, and the result of it was
that people rushed into the newspaper
Office to inquire about the truthfulness
of the report. The telephones began
to ring and anxious New Workers. who
thought that some of their friends
must have met their death inquired
after the details; but they were in
formed that the death loss was only
2S and that seven or eight of these
were Cinnamon.

New YORK. Oct. 2l.-Not since 1892

Attempt to Lynch Two Men Awaiting Trial
for Murder ut Liberty, Mo.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 2l.-An UNI
successful attempt was made by a mob
at Liberty last night to lynch William
s. Foley and Thomas Wade, both in
the county Jail there awaiting trial
for murder. The mob was poorly or
ganized and the Jail was we'll defended
by the officers Ten minutes after the
mob arrived it dispersed sullenly and
quietly, unable to get into the jail and
persuaded by Sheriff Hyner and
his deputies and assistants that they
would not get the prisoners. Ever
since the arrest of Foley in November,
1896, for the murder of his mother
and sister on their farm near Liberty
there has been recurring and inter-
mittent talk of lynching him.
