suffocated by the smoke which filled
the house. Behind the stove in the
kitchen lay the body Of an old wom-
an, yet alive. but unconscious and
badly burned. She was taken to the
emergency hospital and is not likely
to recover. The children were two

were away from home and left the
children in charge of Mrs. Baywater,
the old woman found in the kitchen.
The fire was evidently caused by an
overturned lamp.

Medical science grows apaee with civiliza-
ton and among the leading remedies, one
that combines all the results of scientific
study up to the present time and is put up in
convenient and economical form, easy to
take, easy to carry. is The famous CasCarets.
Five years ago marked the time Of the sale
of the first box. Last year the sale reached
the enormous total of over six million boxes.
In this hustling, every day, busy life Of ours
people need just this kind Of medicine to
stimulate their bowels and keep them reg
ular Casearets act on the liver just enough
to help nature without causing that awful

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-

supposed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

miles, was given thorough shaking
up at noon Sunday with another
nitroglyeerin explosion on the
Washington Painter farm, - miles
west of Muncie, and only fragmer IS
of team of horses and a man in

of nitroglyeerin to the magazine Of
the Painter farm for use in the oil
wells, and the explosion occurred
while the man was unloading the
stun from the wagon. There were
80 quarts in the magazine, and only
two great holes in the ground show
where the wagon and magazine stood,
while fragments of the mans clothes
with bits of flesh and part of the
horses hang in the tree tops for
quarter of a mile distant. A part of
one arm is the largest piece of the
mans body found. Fortunately nc
one else was near, owing to the fact
that it was Sunday. There is no one
to tell how it happened. The Alvy

was badly wrecked, dishes being
broken with every window light
Some stock in the barn yard was

lars near the Meramec Heights Hotel,
not far from st. Louis. They turned the
money over to the st. Louis sub-station,
and ii was sent to Washington. The
money was sent back from there. with
the instruction that the department held
that unless some one came forward and
established beyond question proprietor
ship in the money it had been the custom
to give It TO the finder. This was the
find which was connected by some with
the sensational assault which occurred
near the resort where the money was
found. a4t
Burned money is the hardest for the
government experts to work on, with
the exceptions of the money which has
been gnawed by mice. Recently there
came into the department a cigar box
full of money which had been sent from
Philadelphia with the necessary affidavit
showing that it had. been inside of a
poorly constructed safe and had been
burned to the condition in which it was
forwarded. Evidently with the idea that
the original package ought not to be
broken, the sender Enclosed the charred
pieces with some silver coins which had
also been badly burned in the same safe.
During the passage of the money
through the mails the heavy silver was
shaken through the charred bills until
there was hardly a piece left big enough
to cover more than the head of pin.
Each of the pieces looked as thong
taken from CRATE into which papers
had been thrust. Mrs. Brown. who is in
charge of the experts who handle the
mutilated money. ell of whom are women
did not despair, though she deplored the
thoughtlessness which had allowed silver
and charred paper to be packed together.
She called two of her assistants, and the
three. by the aid of the magnilying
glasses, soon brought out four $50 bills
and within an hour recommended that
thew be redeemed by the Treasurer.
