A pa,a, Railroad smashup.

A bad height wreck occurred Sat.
urday in the outskirts of Koene, N.
H in which engineer Milan Curtis of
Bellows Falls was killed aud another
engineer and fireman badly injured
The train was composed of two en-.
gines and six freight cars. Just at
the point where the railroad enters the
city tracks run down grade for some
distance. As the freight train came a.
long, at | o'clock, the track was ap.
parently clear, when without warning
the first engine jumped the rails, and
after going short distance along the
ties tipped over on one side. The 9th.
err engine ran upon it, dragging the
six cars partially off the rails and pill.
ing them up in one mess. The second
engine struck the other in such way
as to be turned completely over, and it
now rests with the wheels upper-most,
its smokestack broken short off, and
the cab crushed.
Engineer Curtis, who stuck to his
post, as his locomotive left the rails,
was crushed and scalded by escaping
steam, and was apparently instantly
killed. His body was found in the
very midst of the pile Of wrecked en-
gines and cars. His home was in Bel.
lows Falls, VT, where he leaves a
widow and one son.
Charles Hangar, the engineer of the
second locomotive, and his fireman,
whose name is unknown at present,
were rendered unconscious, and were
taken to the hospital. They recovered
during he evening, and although bad
ly cut and bruised, they are not
thought to be serious injured.

With wheat crop of SIS million
bushels in sight in the United States
and an unusually light crop predicted
in all the other great grain producing
countries of the world, the prospects
of the American farmer are bright.
The recent issue of "Bradstreet's, :"
which is usually very conservative in
its views as to the business future,
calls attention to the fact that the
stock of wheat IN hand at present is
unusually light, being only rs million
bushels, while nearly all the great
wheat. producing countries of the
world have unusually light crops this
year. Recent reports, it says, from
Bussia' Germany, France, and Hun
gary point to decreased wheat hal-
vests, and that India will hardly sup
ply her home demand, with like re-
ports from Australia and Argentine,
and adds: "This brings the United
States to the front as prominent
wheat exporter under similar condi-
tions to those which existed in 1879
over the revival succeeding the great
panic after five or six years of re-
trenchment and economy" The
same publication calls attention to
the fact that during the month of
June there was an advance in cotton,
cotton seed oil, tobacco, bacon, lard,
rice, corn, oats, barley, peas, milk,
wheat, and other farm products.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an irfamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumblng sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
FORMAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition of the mucous sur
