ty hurt.

sharp turn in the track just as it goes
on the bridge, which gave the car
whirl to the right, completely over
turning it with the people penned up
inside When the car struck the side
of the gulch and then swept on down
through brush and stumps it left an
awful track filled with the mangled :,
remains of the dead, and others, as
badly mangled, with still enough life
in them to add to the heart-rending
scene by their cries and means.

Ii Saved a Leg,

l have used DR.. G. D. Warmers Com
pound of Seven Cures with such good
results that recommended it to Geo.
Chip, who was taken with typhoid
fever about two years ago. The disease
settled in one of his legs, causing en-
largement of the entire limb, which re-
suited in fever-running sore, render
ing the leg entirely useless. The doc
tors tried to cure it, but had no success,
and they advised him that his leg
would have to be amputated. Then /
urged him to give the Seven Cures a
fair trial and accordingly he COM
menced taking it and continued to use
it for six months. He is well and
hearty today and his leg is just as
sound as ever.

See the Nominee.
Lincoln, Neb., July 9.-The tide Of
Democratic humanity has been turned
from Kansas City to Lincoln and Mr..
Bryan expects many visitors the next
few days. The influx began before
daylight when the Montana delegation
stopped between trains and proceeded
in. a body to the Bryan home, accom-
panied by a band. The house was
dark, but Mr.. Bryan was aroused and
made a speech. He said after the
crowd had given HIM three cheers. that
the Montana Democratic delegation
bad not changed much. 1t still
seemed to have plenty of enthusiasm.
He said the convention had been going
on for several days at Kansas City
and he had been up for a number of
nights reading bulletins of the conven-
ton. He was kept awa.e the
night the discussion over the plat
form occurred. He apologized for not
being at the depot to meet the delega-
ton, but he had supposed after the
sessions of the convention that the del
egates would be just as tired as he.
He was glad to know the delegates
were more earnest than he was. Mr..
Bryan asked for Senator Clark, but
was told that he was not in the party.
Later in the morning the Jacksonian
club of Omaha made stop and called
on the presidential candidate. Mr..
Bryan does not expect to be able to
give any part of his campaign plans
for several days.

Heartburn

When the quantity of food taken is too
large or the quality too rich heartburn
is likely to follow, and especially so if
the digestion has been weakened by
constipation. Eat slowly and not too
freely of easily digested food. Masti-
cate the food thoroughly. Let six
hours elapse between meals and when
you feel fullness and weight in the
region of the stomach after eating, in
dicating that you have eaten too much,
take Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets and the heartburn may be
avoided. For sale by Wangler Bros.
