She Didn't Care.

Maplehill, Ia. Aug. 10th.-"I felt as
though | didn't care whether | lived
or died, was so miserable all the
time"
In these words does Miss Nellie Bar
foot of this place describe her condi'
ton. EverT woman who is, or has
ho.n sich and suffering will under
stand and appreciate just how Miss
Barefoot felt. and there are no doubt
many thousands OF similar cases.
1t is truly an awful thing when a
woman gets SO low that she can say
IL don't care whether | live or die
But Miss Barfoot tells a different
story to-day, and her words should
guide every suffering woman to the
path Of health and happiness.
Il used Dodd's Kidney Pills, and
am cured. / feel like a new person
and | would say to every woman suf
fering as did, give Dodd's Kidney
Pills a trial and you will not be disap
pointed. They are worthy of the high
est praise"

Many years ago the distinguished
American engineer Charles Elicit pro.
posed a system of reservoirs for stor-
Ing the flood waters of the Mississippi
and dispensing them when necessary
for the benefit Of the cultivated soil
When this remarkable scheme was
first published the conditions were not
as favorable to its execution as now,
while the necessity for restraining
swollen rivers and conserving the re.
dundant rainfall In the central valleys
was not so urgent as it has become
with the marvellous growth of our
population. Doubtless the expense of
constructing dams and reservoirs along
the principal rivers is a very discour-
aging feature of the project. But II
the engineering difficulties can be so
surmounted that the control and util-
ization of the flood waters can be as
sured, the cost of the work could not
exceed the pecuniary losses sometimes
sustained by food and drought In a
single year.

stone road from the main entrance
to the Rowland building. Cinder walks
are also being placed along the main
avenues all over the grounds. \ large
building is TO be erected for the use of
those who buy the privilege OF dis
pensing soft drinks, candies. and the

city schools here have already pre-
pared their exhibit, which is consid-
cred the finest that has yet been dis
played there. One OF its features will
be the manual training exhibit. The

AN APPALLING WRECK.
Durand tbs scene-Twenty- Three Killed.
sixty Injured.

Durand ms Scene-Twenty ihfeo 'sS"'
sixty Injured.
One OF the most appalling railroad
accidents I'm the history OF Michigan
occurred in the Grand Trunk yards.
Durand. at 3 o'clock Friday morning
when one train of the Wallace Bros
circus crashed into another one
half mile west Of the Durand
sta ton. The dead so far number -.
Most OF them are canvas men ana un-
skilled employees of the circus, but three
Of the % are widely known In Mlchi-
gan. These are Train Master MCCARTHY,
Chief Detective Large and Wallace
train master. Thorpe. The cause OF the
collision was the air brake on the sec
ond train getting out of order and fali-
ing TO work when the engineer saw the
red light OF the est train, which had
come to a stanCstill. Nobody seems 10
be TO blame. The first train was wait
ing for orders.
The scene in the yards was appall-
ing. The wreckage of the engine and
cars, which was strewn about, togeth-
er with the shiteks OF the injured VIC
Tins, and the believing OF the wild
animals, made most weird spectacle.
1t was some time before all the injured
could be taken from the cars. Their
wounds are Of fearful nature, In
some cases. Chief Detective Large,
Grand Trunk Trainmaster Mccarthy
and Wallace Bros Trainmaster
Thorpe were asleep in the rear car
of train No. / when train No. 2 struck
1t. Mccarthy and Thorpe were killed
Instantly. Large lived an hour and a
half. Quite few of the others killed
were also In this car. The shrieks OF
the injured, the roars and screeching
Of the terrified animals i'm the circus
menagerie and the wreckage generally
literally paralyzed the first people to
reach the scene. They hardly knew
which way to turn and actually half
an hour elapsed before the first of the
injured was pulled from the wreck.
When the first CLEAN of daylight APP
peared the people began to regain their
senses. Drays and express wagons
were hustled out and soon there was
procession of these improvised am
balances carrying the dead and wound
ed-the dead 10 the morgue. the in
jured to the temporary hospital.
The death OF John Thompson, of
Peru, Ind, at Harper Hospital, De-
troit, added another To the number
killed by the terrible wreck at Durand,
the total now being twenty-three. En-
gineer Probst, of the second section,
who is virtually held responsible by
the Grand Trunk officials for the acct
dent, admits that the air brakes
worked all right at Lansing, but Is
emphatic In stating that they did not
work when he tried to turn them on
| just before the collision. Both his

A Brooklyn magistrate has added 10
the heap of curious legal precedents by
declaring that 1t is a punishable mis-
demeanor TO call an unmarried woman
over thirty years Of age IAN old maid
The magistrate complicated his de-
cision by saying that he would have
dismissed the accused but for the fact
that the epithet was applied to wo'
man of eighty-five. 1t thus appears
that the term "old maid may be ap-
piled to woman over thirty and under
eighty-five at a point not yet legally
defined.

A search for lost treasure in Lake

wrecking company, well informed as
TO the vessels that have gone down
In the last fifty years, is preparing for
a systematic search after the lost car
goes in the great lakes. In the last
twenty years 1889 vessels have been
wrecked on the great lakes, with car
goes valued at over 100000. = good
part of this was perishable merchan-
disc. but many Of the cargoes were of
d kind not to be injured by water. In
1902 just 166 vessels were damaged in
storms on the lakes. Twelve of these
vessels were a total loss, and the car
goes of most of those that went down
are as valuable to-day as when the
ressels were wrecked. OF the vessels
wrecked in 1901, thlrty-one carried iron
pre-, twenty-five grain, thirty gold,
twenty weight lumber. four stone and
brick. and one copper ore. OF the
wrecked vessels seventy-five went
down in Lake Erie. twenty-seven in
Lake Huron, sixty in Lake Michigan
and thirty-five in Lake Superior. In
pther years there were more cargoes
bf copper lost and not so many cargoes
Of iron ore. In other years also there
was a greater proportion Of vessels
