DIR. Williams Pink Pills are not looked
upon as patent medicine, but rather as a
prescription. An analysis of their properties
shows that they contain, in condensed form,
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are an unfailing specific for
such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial pa
ralysis, st. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects
of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and
sallow compilations, and the tired feeling re-
sulting from nervous prostration, all diseases
resulting from vitiated humors in the blood,
such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
are also specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such as suppressions, irregularities
and all forms of weakness. They build up the
blood, and restore the glow of health to pale
and sallow cheeks. They are for sale by all
druggists, or may be had by mail from DR..

Candidate for Senator.
indianapolis, Jan. 13-The republic
an caucus on the senatorial question was
held Tuesday night. The last day Of
the contest was productive of so much
activity that it proved an interruption

Ing the day the topic of interest in the
senatorial fight was the question Of
whether there should be an open or
secret ballot in the caucus. The caucus
got under way at eight o'clock, and the
organization determined upon by the
Fairbanks men went through by ac-
clamation, making Senator Newly
chairman and Representative Henders
son secretary. A resolution for q secret
ballot, although strongly opposed by
the opponents of Fairbanks, was
adopted by a vote of SO to 43.
Thereupon bolt from the caucus was
led by Senator Duncan, followed by
Senators Hubbell, Bozeman, O'Brien,
Collett, Kerns, Ball and Early and Rep
resentatives Morgan, Settler, Roose,
Patterson, of Fulton, Berry, Medgker,
McCrea and Butler, 16 in all. These
senators and representatives went to
the senate chamber and held a caucus
there. The main caucus Immediately
rescinded the resolution and sent three
or four committees in succession to the
recalcitrant members, but they stayed
out fully an hour. Finally they all
marched back, and after some oratory
was expended in presenting the names
of candidates ballot was taken, re.
sulting in the nomination of Mr.. Fair
banks by vote of 60 to 25 for the other
three, divided as follows: McKeen, II;

public school building here was rudely
shaken, as We're number of other
structures. Several farmers who were
out in the fields report that they dis
tinctly saw the earth move as with a

covering radius of ten to twelve miles
north and south of here and all tell the
same story. AS yet no reports of dam,

o'clock a. m. Tuesday the tankhouse of
the Columbia Powder company, located
in hollow, one-half mile back from the
Ohio river and midway between the
boroughs of Shousetown and Shanopin,
blew up. Five minutes later the stor-

also shattered by terrific explosion.
Mr.. Stackney, the proprietor of the
works, Peter McCloskey, Rose Inman
and Matte lnman, sisters aged 20 and
IL years respectively, are dead. Matte
Crane is probably fatally injured. The
fragments of Stackney and the two In

were taken to Coraopolis, where the in
quest will be held. The cause of the
explosion will probably never be known.

Houghton's barn, liart's house and 9th

for considerable distance surrounding
were badly shattered by the explosion,
and not a window remains in the vicin-

glycerin magazine ignited, and moro
serious catastrophe was averted, owing
to the fact that there were several
hundred pounds of explosives stored
therein. All of the killed and injured
were employees of the company. The
