II we could trace Dyspepsiu to It's
source, it would lead bnck TO our kitch-
ems. In fact, the secret Of good health Is
good cooking. II well cooked, foods are
partially digestcd il poorly cooked, they
are less digeslblc than in their raw state.
II you are victim of fanlty cooking :;
that ia, il you suffer from Dyspepsia, the
rational cure must re looked for in an

TRAIN THROUGH A TREsTLE.
Two of the Fifteen Persons Injured
VIII Die.

Ardmore, l. t. May ia southbound
passenger train on the Santa Fe road
known as the Chicago and Galveston ex-
press, went through trestle sixteen miles
south of here at o'clock this morning
Fifteen persons, passengers and trainmen,
were injured. Several Of these are Sc
riously hurt and two will die.
The accident occurred near the town of
Marietta. A heavy rain storm, amounting
almost to a water spout caused a sudden
rise this morning of all the small streams
in that vicinity. The accident occurred
at point where a deep. narrow gulch was
spanned by a wooden trestle. The founda-
tion works supporting this trestle was un-
dermined by the sudden rise of the stream,
which flows through the guich, and the
trestle went down under the heavy weight
of the train.
So great was the speed of the train,
however, that the engine and tender, the
express, mail and baggage cars, and one
passenger coach, passed over the narrow
chasm, though the trucks of several of
these cars went to the bottom, twenty
feet below. The coach next to the last,
the one Immediately in front of the Pull
man, 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 drag
ged by the locomotive across the broken
trestle were badly wrecked.
The baggage car tclescoped with the
passenger coach, which wSs the smoker,
and the latter was all but demolished.
Most of the injured were riding in these
coaches.
]. M. Grider. the Wells Fargo express
messenger, was so badly crushed by a
heavy car chest that he carnot live.
e. 4. Sparks of Oakman, !. r., was
crushed in the wreck of the smoker and
is also mortally injured.

nent families in the state and the south,
lies at the home of Milton II. Smith, pres

tention for some time to Miss Nettie Bell
Smith the young daughter of NJ. IL.

days happenings resulted from the de-
pressed mind OF an unsuccessful suitor
Late tonight a statement was given out
by friend of the Smith family. the sub
stance of which is as follows:
MIR. Thornton has been for some time
engaged to be married to Miss Smith. Re-
Gently the engagement was broken off.
To-day Mr.. Thornton called at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Smith and after a few mo-
ments conversation, in a Git OF despera-
ton, pulled a pistol from his pocket and
shot himself. The ball entered the body
near the heart and the wound Is probably
fatal. Drs. Roberts and Cartledge are In
attendance. Mr.. and Mrs. Thornton reach
ed here tonight from their home in Lex
ington to be with their son.
Mr.. Thornton has been In the service
of the Louisville and Nashville railroad for
the past four or five years. He Is young
man of fine personal appearance and bear
ing. A future of great usefulness seem TO
be assured him. The attending physicians
