facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard ar
ticle know that it is many hundred per cent
better than other cementS for which similar
claims are made. out great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best material ever discover
ed and other manufacturers do not use
them. because they are too expensive and
do not allow large profits. Mr. Major tells
us that one of the elements of his cement
costs 50 IS a pound, and another costs - IS

Duncan Cfdrk's Aggregation OF Fe-
male Ministries Victims OF An
Awful Catastrophe in Illinois.

The breaking Of car wheel resulted
in almost celebrating Duncan Clark s
troupe of female MINISTRIES Wednes-
dav of last week a short distance from
Mounds, station on the Illinois Cen
trail railroad few miles north OF Cal
70, III. Their special car was wrecked
nine of the company were killed. and
six were injured, four so seriously
that their recovery is matter OF
doubt.
The company showed at Chester
Tuesday and the next night they were
billed to snow at Mound City Their
car was attached to the Illinois Cen
trial fast mail train No. %, and was
wrecked just after entering the yards
at Mounds, three miles from their
destination.
The train reached Mounds and as it
was passing into the yards an axle on
the rear truck of the last car broke.
The speed Of the train flashed the car
like whip until it struck a switch
engine, nearly demolishing the car.
At he time OF the accident there were
eighteen occupants Of the car, twelve
being females and six males. Every
person on the car but one was serious
ly injured and latest reports would
indicate that all will die.
Four were Killed outright and five
were SO seriously injured that they
died within a short time after the
wreck.

of the company who escaped injuries
and trainmen who entered the car
found that every person in the ear
was either dead or seriously Injured
All the dead and injured are sup

pany was travelling in car marked
Clipper company of New York. Near
ly al the dead were frightfully man
gled, owing in part, to the rotten con-
dition of the car. No blame is at
tached to the railroad company by
those conversant with the facts. The
accident is one of the most deStruc-
tive that has occurred on the Illinois
Central railroad in Years. A later
uncontirmed report claims that short
ly after the arrival of the wounded at
the Cairo hospital three other deaths
occurred. The report is generally be-
lieved. owing to the fatal injuries re-
ceived by those in the car.
One of the company who failed to
accompany 1t from Chester south said:
1.-The car which we were travelling in
and which proved a regular death
hole, has been in service for wears
and we all felt that some accident
would inevitably overtake us if the
company did not furnish better ac-
commodations.
The troupe appeared at Lancaster
BoScobel and other cities in this Sec
ton about two years ago.
