Don't Worry.

This is easier said than done. yet it
may be of some help to consider the
matter. If the cause is something over
which you have no control it is obvious
that worrying will not help the matter
i'm the least. On the other hand, if
within your control you have only to
act. When you have a cold and fear
an attack of pneumonia. buy bottle of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy and use
it iudiciously and all cause for worry as
to the outcome will quickly disappear.
There is no danger of pneumonia when
it is used. For sale by p d. Getting

THE Republicans of Colorado
tried every evil method to pre-
vent the election again to the
United States Senate of Senator
Teller, who has so ably repre-
scented Colorado for a number
of years, but the old man and
his Democratic friends did not
stand any of Walcott's bluffing
and on Monday they reelected
the grand old man. An attempt
will be made to prevent him
taking his seat, but the Senate
will surely accept his creden-

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION SHOOK THE MINE.

Meade. who resided ut San Antonio ut

business in Alpine for several years.
The letter said:

Mr.. Boyd went 10 San Antonio 10 or
ganiZe an expedition TO undertake the
work of exploring the mine. Before he
had got his men together he died.
Mr.. Meade then took charge of the
expedition. They spent three months
at the mine. but only one attempt was
made TO explore the underground work
ings. and that experience was so terri
flying that the men threatened to leave
if forced 10 make another effort.
They sunk II shaft near the old one to
n depth of fifty feet. but the noises be-
came so pronounced that the workmen
refused to 20 on with ii. and the whole
project was abandoned.
Captain Louis Seton was at the head
of the latest expedition To the haunted
mine. He is one of the most prominent
stockmem i'm Texas and has reputa-
ton for great courage. In a spirit of
adventure he left his ranch in Sutton
county few days ago for the mine,
taking with him Il half dozen of his
cowboys.
They let the rope ladder down into
the old shaft. and Captain Seton and
two of his cowboys went down to the
bottom. All was quiet. and they had
lust started TO enter the drift when
The phenomena suddenly broke forth
IN all their fury.
The three men were hurled with
great force several feet and thrown
repeatedly against the Jagged rocks of
The shaft. II was only with the great
est effort that they could climb to the
surface. Their bodies were covered
with bruises. and their clothing was
torn.

Woman's Unfailing Regulator. and
Health Gi7er.

In the mammoth department stores
and large public offices Of our Leading
cities, there are thousands OF young
women employed. From the morn
ing opening hour till these vast hives
Of trade close at night, these young
women are expanding their energy
and strength in serving their masters
and critical public. Long hours
close confinement, imperfect ventila-
tiop. excitement and brain worry,
,soon have marks OF creeping disease
and sickness. Headache, sleePless-

raloia, rheumatism and nervousness
make the lives of young women mis-
cradle and almost unbeatable. 10
thousands Of cases the traces OF terri
ble blood troubles are seen In the
faces OF those who should look comely
and attractive.
To the class OF suffering young
women Just referred to. we would say
that Paine's Celery Compound is .
blessed agent OF health and womanly
vitality. This medicine is a positive
and trne nerve food and system
cleanser. 1t corrects any tendency
to constipation; it tones the stomach
keeps digestion perfect, the brain
feels the strengthening effects OF the
superb nutrition it affords, natural
and refreshing sleep takes the plac'

brought to the pale face. We urge
upon all sickly and weak young
