The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-10-13

''The World Beaters" are record
heaters, for not even during fair week
was there such an audience as gather
ed at the Star yesterday afternoon. Of
course, the weather helped some.
The performance is fast and full of
novelties, and the spectators seemed
well pleased with it. There is more
than in the average show seen at this
house. The changes of costumes are
numerous and novel. In the conclud-
ing extravaganza grotesque sea SER

nostrils, disintegrates and becomes a

comedians Bohannon and Corey have
something new in illustrated songs. The
pictures accompanying their songs are
much better than the usual ones, and

ing a sense of the artistic, which is
pleasant relief from the crude affairs
we are used to seeing.
Tow Waters, who plays a piano. is
extremely entertaining without an as
sistant, but his act is made doubly
strong by the presence of the remark
ably dininutive dwarf, Maj. NoWak.
The latter is twenty-five years Of age
and his height is only thirty-four
inches. He and Waters nearly threw
the audience into commissions. The

TIE DISASTER fl AAXDN.
A Night Long to Be Remembered by Those Who Were in the South
 ern Pacific Wreck.
ARRIVAL OF THE WOUNDED AT FL PASO.
The Burning of the Overturned Coaches Described ms FrightfuIIy Rapid, Giving the Pfnned-In Vic- tlms No Chance--OnlOOkers Were Helpless as Babes.

Fl Paso, Tex, March 9.-Creepine like mammoth hearse across the
 desert the relief train conveying the dead, the dying and the injured of the disaster at MaXon puffed slowly into the depot. It was a night long to be remembered by those who wit messed the dead and the maimed talk en from the coaches. Men, women and children, many of them still with their night robes on, bandaged from head to foot, made their way or were assisted to the vehicles awaiting to receive them.
 Women with children in their arms and lying dead or wounded were talk en to the hotels or hospitals. Illus bands and wives clung to each other, the terrible scenes of the morning still fresh in their memory.
 Said prominent New Yorker, who refused to give his name:
 ''The back coaches were not turned over, and that is all that saved us who were fortunate enough to be riding in the Pullman, which tipped slightly, but remained on the track, otherwise had we not been killed we would have been cremated. The coaches were burned up, and I never saw anything burn so rapidly in mi life. By the time I got out of ths. Pullman there was little left of tho smoker and chair car except cinders and ashes. The shrieks and groans of the unfortunate victims is some thing to be remembered life time, and we were as helpless as babes to assist them. It is my estimation that the exact number of dead will never be ascertained, as nearly every passenger on the train was asleep when the accident occurred. The ma jority of the passengers in the front cars met death.''

 MOST people think that catarrh is a IVA disease confined to the head and
 nose. Nothing is farther from the truth. It may be that the nose and throat are the oftenest affected by ca tarrh, but if this is so it is so only be- cause these parts are more exposed to the vicissitudes of the climate than the other parts of the body.
 Every organ, every duct, every cavity of the human body is liable to catarrh A multitude of ailments depend on ca tarrh. This is true winter and summer Catarrh causes many cases of chronic disease, where the victim has not the slightest suspicion that catarrh has any thing to do with it.
 The following letter which gives the experience of MT. A. C. Lockhart is q case in point:

KILLED NUMBERED TWELVE.
Three More are Likely to Die-Cause
 of the Wreck a Mystery


 Houston, Tex, March 9-At South ern Pacific headquarters it is re- ported that the number killed in the wreck, Friday, at Maxon is 12. Re- ports of the injured from Fl Paso are to the effect that none have died, but three may die.
 The cause of the wreck is still a mystery. The railroad officials be- lieve it was an obstruction on the track or broken rail, while some survivors assert that the train was running very fast, and, hitting the curves hard, left the rails. The fact may never be determined, as the en- gineer is dead and most of the pas sengers were asleep. Conductor Stockwell is positive the train was running at ordinary speed, which is not dangerous. An official report will be issued later.

also prevents that distressing cough
