freely of easily digested food. Masticate

elapse between meals and when you
feel a f~ullness and weight in the region

Yesterday morning the passenger
tram from Hot Springs barely escaped a
serious catastrophe. Just after the
morning train to Buffalo Gap crossed
the bridge oyer Fail river the bridge
was swept away, leaving nothing in its
wake but the roaring river. A minute
before and the train would have gone
down and many lives might have been
lost. One of the heaviest rain storms
known to Hot Springs occurred there
Monday night, and during the evening
a most interesting phenomenon took
place. An immense electric ball floated
over the hill, diffusing so much light
that it lighted up the hillside and made
a wonderful and neyer-to-be.forgotten
sight.-Rapid Journal.
