With but a few carloads left in the

There is more Carrarrh in this Sec

eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable
Science has proven catarrh to be
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in dos
es from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t

TROOPS ORDERED OUT SLID OVER PRECIPICE
Weight of Locomotive Caused the
Rails to Spread and the
Accident Occurred.

Santa Barbara, Cal, June 1.-The cause
CT the terrible train wreck on yhe coo St
line of the Southern Pacific on Saturday
night in which forty people were in
jured. has been determined with some de
gree Of certainty. According TO the Opin-
ion of expert engineers who have n Cde
a close inspection OF the rOadbed at that
point, the weight Of the locomotive caused
the rails to slide toward the precipiCe.
For distance of half mile the en-
bankment was strengthened by a cribbing
of railroad ties to a depth of about four
feet from the surface This was done as
a pTecautiOn against a possible washOut
as the surf at high tide dashes against
the foot of the embankment- The track
was laid very close to the edge Of the en-
bankment. at one point being not more
than two feet away. On the inner side
of the track there is q PERCEPTIONS cliff
along which at intervals covering q dis
lance of a mile or more there is a curve
Of low percent.
All of the injured are showing remark
able Improvement today. Even Mrs. II. G.
Smith, who was so horribly crushed and
who was given up by the physicians, is
recovering and this afternoon was taken
to Los Angeles.
