food is taken into it that fails to digest,
it decays and infiames the mucous

causes the glands to secret muein, in

INDIANA RAILROAD WRECK.
One Man Killed and Seven Injured,
Two Seriously.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Dec. 3O.-One
man was killed, two seriously and
seven more or less badly hurt in a
headon collision between Pennsylvania
limited train No. 5, westbound, and an
eastbound freight train at Larwill
thirty miles west Of here.
The engine crew of the freight train
escaped by jumping. The fact that
the engineer Of the passenger was un-
der orders to proceed with his train
under control. owing to bad stretch
of track near Larwill alone doubtless
prevented serious loss of life, for the
limited was late and otherwise wouii
have been proceeding at terrific speed.
The wreck was due to mistake by
Engineer Crowly Of the freight tram
in reading orders. He had been or.
dered to meet the limited at l.arwiii
at $50. but misread his orders as
6: 80 and was taking his time TO make
the meeting point. A special train WIN
a staff of surgeons was sent from mere

Washington. Dec 30.-The state de-
partment has not been informed up TO
this moment that the Canadian gov
ernment contemplates placing an
armed cruiser on the lakes in addition
to the few small and insignificant
naval vessels now maintained there.
Recently the Canadian government
laid down couple OF revenue cutters
for lake service and although these
were, being of modern type, better
vessels than those heretofore EN-
p!oyed for this work, their construc.
ticn was rot regarded here as violat.
ing the treaty Attention was called
to the matter. however, by some OF
the congressman from the Great Lakes
section and the state department made
Q quiet but effective inquiry into the
character of the Canadian cutters. 1t
appears that United States naval
officer visited the place where the ves-
sells were being built and examined
their construction, a fact that gave
rise to some feeling on the part OF the
Canadians when they learned of the
visit.

after the recess there will without
doubt be a renewal Of the attempt
which has been made annually for the
