Several months ago, Miss Cora Wairous.

nervous disorder which threatened 10 end
her life. The first symptom Of the nilmcnt
was loss of appetite. For some bttle time
Miss Wotr0us had no desire 10 eat and CONF
planned Of a feeling of extreme lassitudc.
This was followed by severe pains i'm the
head. For three weeks the Young lady waq
nearly crazed with q terrible headache and
nothing could be procured TO give her relief
lnally, after trying numerous remedies
q physician was called and began treating
the patient. lie said the trouble was
caused by impoverished blood, but after
several weeks Of his treatment the young
lady's condition had not improved and The
parents decided to procure the services of
another physician. In the meantime Miss
Watrous' nervousness had increased the
pains in her head had grown more severe
ana the sufferers parents had almost Given
up hope of her recovery.
u was at this time that Mr.. Watroug heard
OF Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
He found that the pills were highly recon-
mended for nervous disorders and concluded
to give them trial. A box of the pills was
purchased and before they had all been taken
there was marked improvement In the

had been used, the young lady's appetite had
returned, the pain in her head had ceased
and she was stronger than at any time pre-.

She stopped taking the medicine and By

Miss Natrous secured another box Of pills and

THROUGH A TBESTLE
Serious Accident to a Train Near
Ardmore, I. 7.
FIFTEEN PASSENGERS INJURED.

or These Two WIN Probably Die From
Their wounds - Cars That Went
Down Plunged Twenty Feet to a
swollen Stream.
Ardmore, l. T., May ia south
bound passenger train on the Santa
Fe road, known as the Chicago and
Galveston express, went through a
trestle 16 miles south Of here at
o'clock yesterday morning Fifteen
persons, passengers and trainmen, were
injured. Several of these are seriously
hurt, and it is believed that two will
die. The accident occurred near the
town Of Marietta. A heavy rainstorm.
amounting almost to a waterspout,
caused a sudden rise of all the small
streams in that vicinity.
The accident occurred at a point
where a deep, narrow gulch was span
ned by a wooden trestle. The founda-
ton work supporting this trestle was
undermined by the sudden rise of the
little streams which flow through the
gulch and the trestle went down un-
der the heavy weight of the train. So
great was the speed of the train, how
ever, that the engine and tender, the
express, mail and baggage cars and one
passenger coach passed over the mar
row escape, though the trucks of sew
eral Of these cars went to the bottom,
20 feet below. The coach next to the
last, the one Immediately in front Of
the Pullman, was left standing directly
over the chasm, one end resting on
each bank Of the gulch. The Pullman
remained on the track. The four
coaches which were dragged by the To-
comotive across the broken trestle
were badly wrecked. The baggage car
was telescoped with the passenger
coach, and the latter was all but de-
molished
J. M. Grider, the Wells-Fargo ex-
press messenger, was so badly crushed
by a heavy car chest that he cannot
live. E. T. Sparks, of Oakman, 1. T.,
is also mortally hurt.
The injured were brought to Ard
more on a wrecking train sent out
from here. At r o'clock last evening
a track had been built around the
wreck, and the belated passengers re-
sumed their journey, except those seri-
ously injured.
The most seriously injured are as fol-
lows:
e. T. Sparks, Oakman, l. T., injured
in chest and back, probably fatally; G..
G. Crawford, Hurd L. T., elbow dis
located and right arm fractured; w.
L. Irwin, Kansas City, cut on the neck;
l. f. Hale, news agent Fort Worth,
bruised on hip and side; J. M. Grider,
express messenger, hurt internally,
cannot live; r. j. Crawford, Fox, 1. T.,
ankle sprained, badly cut and bruised
w. M. Forbes, Lebanon, head, hands
and arms injured: o. L. York, Palo
Pinto, Tex, hip hurt; ]. F. Piper La

THIN PEOPLE.
Row the Weight May be increased in a
Healthfu Natural Manner.


All people who are thin are not necessarily
so from disease, it is natural for some to be
thin, and no amount of treatment would add
an iota to their weight, but the great majority
of people are thin because their digestion is
not perfect, their rstomhchs do not thoroughly
digest hesh-forming foods, they may not
have chronic dyspepsia, but their digestion is
not vigorous enough to assimilote the food
necessary for robust health and to keep up
their weight.
For all such, the new discovery for dys-
pepsia and indigestion comcsas most well
come addition to the list Of meritorious
remedies. The new discovery referred to is
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which is not only
a pleasant and certain cure for Indigestion
but possesses the peculiar power Of digesting
nesh-fonuing foods, like meat, eggs aud
similar ordinary foods, so that the increase in
weight is perfectly natural process One
grain Of the digestive principle in Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000 grains of
shrormng food DR. Jennison recently
stated that he depends altogether upon the G
tablets for the cure of dyspepsia aud stomach
to"ulc9 "hu IhHu Oic9 hou VHiJ Ouiu lUV iA-
digestion, but in every case a gratifying in-
crease in weight was noticed, not fat, but the
proper amount of flesh for health and
symmetry. DIR. Harlandson speaks highly of
the tablets not only because they build up
flesh and cure indigestion, but they are
absolutely safe and harmless, no matter what
the condition of the stomach and are
excellent not only for Il ordinary dyspeptic,
but for invalids and children.
Stuarts's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by all
druggists at Scots per package and trial
will convince anyone of their merits.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one purpose,
namely, a receptacle for the urine and as
such it is not liable toauy form Of disease ex-
cept by one of two ways The first way is
from imperfect action Of the kidneys The
second way is from careless local treatment Of
other diseases
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is the chief cause Of bladder troubles. So
the womb like the bladder was created for
one purpose, and if not doctored too much
is not liable to weakness or diseased, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back of aud very
close to the bladder therefore any pain,
disease or inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is
often by mistake attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble Of some sort. The
error is easily made and may be as easily
avoided To find out correctly, set your
urine aside for twenty-four hours: a sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or bladder
trouble The mild and the extraordinary
effect of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy is soon
realized. If you need a medicine you should
have the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet both sent free by mail.

Thursday evening belonged to Leo and
Frank Steven, the aeronauts. They
made an ascension at Railway on We'd

about 70 miles off Sandy Hook they
feared the approaching storm and cut
their canvas boat loose from their air
ship. They were picked up five hours
later by the sloop Mary Jane. The

loon in which they made their ascen-
sion was valued at $3,OOO and the men
spent Thursday and Friday in hunting
for it. Captain Conroy brought the men

four horses were started without a skip,
Joe Patchen having the pole and Pointer
being on the outside. McClary did not
push Pointer in the first half, but moved
UP in the tAird quarter and came down
the stretch with Patchen. 1t was a
driving finish, but Patchen came under
the wire q neck ahead. the time being
2:04. In the second heat the four horses
were started abreast, but Patchen and
Pointer went ahead and moved all the
way around the track like a team.
Patchen and Pointer came down the
stretch neck and neck, and as Patchen
poked his nose under the wire a few in
ches ahead of Pointer q great shout
went up from the 10000 people that filled
the grandstand. The time by quarters
was: 3OA; 1:0Ok; 1874; 2:01k. Pointer
broke badly at the start in the third heat
and trailed far behind, while Patchen
and Lorraine went all the way around
with the latter hanging on to Patchen's 8

paced the last half-mile in one minute
fiat. The time for the heat was 2:OS.

BRITISH MOVE CAUTIOUSLY.


London, Aug. 1.-THE British govern
ment has informed the American bi-
metallic commission that II will probably
reply to the proposals OF the commits
sioners on behalf OF the United States
III October.
Yesterday Senator Woicott received
a reply from Sir Michael Hicks-Beach.
chancellor Of the exchequer, In the course
OF which he expressed "A fear that the
British government was not yet In
position to reply to the proposals OF the
ENJOYS OF the United States and the
French ambassador on the question OF
an international agreement.
While this postponement Of England's
decision delays the work. the American
envoys do not consider ii discouraging.
On the contrary, they think Great Bril-
tain's interest i'm the question justfies
them In expecting that the Indian mints
will be opened. They believe that The
Times, in opposing the reopening Of the
Indian mints, does not represent the
government, but rather the city financial
circles, which are opposed to any change.
The report made to the government from
the mint Is understood to be favorable
to silver
