Played with Giant Caps.

Andrew and Harry Lauristen,
aged eight and ten years, who live
in Silver City, played with giant
powder caps this week Wednesday
which they took from Jos. Legris'
mine. While one of the boys held
a cap on rock the other struck it
and an explosion occurred. Andrew
lost three fingers and Harry lost
one finger and had his neck badly
cut. DIR. Will Lawson tied up the
veins that were cut and probably
saved the boys from bleeding to
death. DR.. Manson was then sum-
moned and dressed the wounds.
The boys will not fool with caps
again for some time.

No Right To Ugliness.

The woman who is lovely in face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be at
tractive must keep her health. If
she is weak, sickly and all run down,
she will be nervous and irritable. If
she has constipation or kidney
trouble, her impure blood will cause
pimples, blotches, skin eruptions
and a wretched complexion. Elec-
trio Bitters is the best medicine in
the world to regulate stomach, liver
and kidneys and to purify the blood
1t gives strong nerves, bright eyes,
smooth, velvety skin, rich COM
plexion. 1t will make a good look
ing, charming woman of a rundown
invalid. Only so cents at T. j, A.

Who 1t is Named After.

A discussion arose between some
of our citizens one evening this week
as to who the De Witt Clinton Com
mandery was named after, several
holding it was named after State,
others that it was named after a
person. From the best authority at
hand we are under the impression
that the name was given the Com
mandery after the illustrious Amer
lean statesman, De Witt Clinton,
who was prominent in national af-
fairs from 1869 to 1928. De Witt
Clinton was the son of James Clin-
ton, who was Brigadier General in
the American army between 1886
and 1912 Our popular townsman,
HI. V. Clinton, while modest man,
is believed to be descendent of the
illustrious Americans above named.

The harness shop of Vonderhide,
in Carson, was burned Tuesday
morning, as was a portion of the
Lind harness shop. 1t is thought
that the fire was ofincendiary origin,
and Mr.. Lind has been accused of
the act. Vonderhide lost several
hundred dollars in stock and Lind
lost some of his stock, but carried
an insurance. Lind's case has been
taken up by the grand jury, but
there seems to be sufficient evidence
to clear him on an alibi, from re-
ports in the papers.

serious Runaway Accident.

Harold Pilkington and wife, Mrs.
Perkins, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs.
Jaqua started from here Thursday
afternoon for Carson in two horse
spring wagon Mr.. Pilkington was
driving, and on the hill the other
side of the Mound House the wagon
brake refused to work and the wagon
crovding onto the horses frightened
them into a run. The driver braced
his feet against the dashboard but
that gave way and he was thrown
out of the vehicle. Mrs. Wilson and
Mrs. Perkins jumped out of the
vehicle and sustained quite serious
injuries, Mrs. Wilson having her
arm broken near the wrist. The
animals soon became detached from
the wagon, and the wagon tongue
dropping to the ground brought the
vehicle to sudden stop, throwing
Mrs. Jaqua and Mrs Pilkington out.
They were not much injured. The
entire party walked bout a mile to
Empire, where DR.. Hutfaker was
telephoned for. He set the broken
bone in Mrs. Wilson's arm and
patched up the bruises of the others
Mrs. Jaqua was taken to Carson by
Joe Raycraft and Mr.. Pilkington
and wife and Mrs. Perkins were
brought back to Dayton by Jim
Virgins. Although all the occu-
pants OF the vehicle were badly
shaken up the accident was not as
serious as it might have been, The
wagon was damaged to the extent
of a broken tongue, but the horses
were not injured in the least.

Last Tuesday was the brightest
day of the season. Although there

en- masse to visit the cemetery, where
flowers in abundance were strewed
upon the graves of departed loved
ones.

Is the steam Locomotive DOOmedf
Men who know say that in the next ten years
steam locomotives will disappear and electric
motors will supplsnt them. They also say that
with the new motive power trains will rush
along at a minimum speed of 100 miles an hour.
This will prove blessing to those who wish to
go quickly from one point to another, but no
more so than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has
proved bless ing to those who wish to go
quickly from sickness to health The Bitters
act at once upon stubborn cases of dyspepsia
indigestion, bilousness and liver complaint
They improve the appetite, quiet the nerves,
and induce sound, refreshing sleep The trial
of bottle will afford convincing proof. Sold
at all drug stores.
