Millionaires' Poor Stomach.

The worn-out stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in the
public prints as horrible example of
the evils attendant ON the possession of
great wealth. But millionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted
with bad stomachs. The proportion is
far greater among the toiers. Dys-
pepsia and indigestion are rampant
among these people, and they suffer far
worse tortures than the millionaire un-
less they avail themselves of stand
ard medicine like Green's August
Flower, which has been a favorite
household remedy for all stomach
troubles for over thirty five years. Au-
gust Flower rouses the torpid liver,
thus creating appetite and insurirg
perfect digestion. 1t tones and vital

NOSE BROKEN.

Last Friday, Ben Hackett, who
drives one of the Climax teams, new
and high strung pair, saw Mr.. A. Brady
coming up the road in his auto and
motioned him to ''come on''. When
the auto approached the horses made
an effort to get away and the teamster,
who is good one, pulled his horses
up the cemetery road, but unfortunate
ly the wagon struck a post, throwing
Mr.. Hacket to the ground, breaking
his nose and otherwise severely iniur.
ing him. Mr.. Brady Immediately
made haste for doctor and returned
within a very few moments with DR..
Good, who dressed his injuries and re-
ports him now almost ready for an
other. DR.. Good says he does not care
to have another such rapid ride.

Where are the Hard Times2

new YORK World.
People who think that because GER
tain inflated trusts are in trouble the
business of the country is going to
smash may find comfort in contempla-
ting our railroad system. The advance
sheets of the new edition of Poor's
Manual show that we built last year L.
1865 miles of track, carrying our total
mileage to 2O3, ,132-the first time it
has ever passed the 200 mark. We
have now more miles of railroad than
all Europe and two-fifths of the total
milege of the world.
The net earnings of the American
railroads last year were the largest in
their history. The exceeded $3.50, ,00O,-
900 and just about equalled the net
revenues of the United States Govern.
ment
The latest reports of railroad earn
ings show no decline in prosperity
quite the contrary. The Chicago Ter
minal Transfer, the Iowa Central and
the Minneapolis and st. Louis exhibit
small declines, but most of the great
roads reporting show much larger
gains. Northern Pacific declined
$112297 for the month of October, but
gained $174,063 for the four months be-
ginning with July 1st. Louisville and
Nashville has gained 81, ,099,9 in four
months. Mexican Central $3,658, ,516,
Norfork and Western S1,0s9, ,519, Pere
Marquette SS37, iii and Southern Rail
way 81, 1877, ,699.
In all these cases and most of the
others the increase has been carried
down into the preseut month, Eigh-
teen roads have reported increased
earnings for the first week of this
November over the corresponding
week last year, and only ten have re-
ported decreases. The net increase for
the twenty-eight roads was 1857, 900 for
the week, or over $4,000 day.
Wall Street is blue, with reason. But
the rest of the country should cheer
up.

Narrow Escape.


On Tuesday of last week, Mrs D. G.
Kirkpatrick, of Beechwood, had mar
row escape with her life, and the cir
cumstances surrounding the accident
are remarkably peculiar. The lady
was busily engaged with her house
hold duties when her little son Cha rlie
came into the kitchen and seated him
self in front of the stove. Between
the boy and the stove their dog, a
very useful and favored animal, was
lying. The boy was asking his mamma
numerous pointed questions, as boys
are apt to ask, in reference to the
power of God; 'could He hold any of
them immovable," etc. The mamma
having answered in the affirmative
stopped and reached over the dog for
a stick of wood and had lust raised
herself and taken step back when a
shot gun, standing in corner beside
the boy, fell, the boy catching it over
his knees, the hammer of which caught
on strip on the wall, discharging the
weapon, the contents of which entered
the dogs body near the shoulder, kill
ing him instantly, not a muscle moving
after the shot struck him. The boy
was 80 stunned that he sat motionless
until neighbor raised him and gave
him a severe shaking. Thus was the
boy thoroughly convinced that the
power of the Almighty is up to his ex-
D ectation.

Held Up.

Yesterday morning while p. & E.
freight was passing Wilcox, a daring
piece of hold-up took place. While one
of the brakemen was standing between
two cars, man came over the top of a
car, and swinging an arm through a
brake wheel, at the same time point
ing a revolver, demanding that the
lantern be thrown down. The high
toned chap then proceeded to take the
brakemau's watch and rifle his pock-
cts, after which he again mounted the
top of the train and disappeared. De-
tectives are hunting all along the line.
All trainmen should be armed as well
as operators.

principal points en- route for Empori-
UNI. On Tuesday evening Mrs. Julian
invited a few personal friends, to spend

very wonderful, especially to the ladies
present. AT midnight sumptuous
repast was served in the beautiful din

Mr.. Julian's very interesting descrip.
tion of the countries in which he visit.
ed and regretted the subject had to be

Mr.. Julian is a close observer, with a
wonderful memory and his informa-
ton would make an interesting even
ing lecture, which we hope he will
consent to give our citizens.

citizen. The large attendance at his
funeral attests the respect in which he
was held by our citizens.
The cause of the explosion will never
be known, not even Mr.. Barnes, who
fortunately escaped, can give re-
liable cause.
In the glycerine house were $500
pounds of nitro-glycerine and 5000
pounds of acid-the largest quantity
of explosive ever on hand at one time
and may not again happen. In addi-
to the destruction of the glycerine plant
several of the other buildings are more
or less wrecked. The total loss to the
Company will not exceed $4,000 of
course not taking into account loss of
business, ,letc., while rebuilding, which
is being pushed with all vigor.
NOTES AND INCIDENTS.
Every pound of powder had been
shipped, hence the necessity rushing
the new building.
The workmen, girls as we'll as men,
will resume their former places next
week and soon the works will be in
full blast,
While all deeply deplore the death of
the two unfortunate men, and sympa-
thize with the widows and fatherless
children, and hope for the speedy re-
covery of Mr.. Nickerson who had such
a miraculous escape, yet all congratu-
late the escape of Mr.. o. B. Barnes, who
| is known as the manufacturer of this
death-dealing fluid. He had a close
call and jumped for his life, the explo-
sion coming before his body bad entire
ly disappeared behind the cribbing.
None will sympathize more keenly
than kind hearted Ora Barnes We
hope his shock may not be serious.
Emporium never had such shaking
up, breaking windows, including large
plate fronts, twisting doors, crumbling
chimneys, in fact doing hundreds of
dollars damage.
| Where Mr.. Nickerson and his team
were at the time of the accident was
only two rods from the spot where the
body of Uruickshank was found, The
poor horses were bleeding at the nose
and seemed stone deaf.
August Morrell was grading for the
new railroad to the works and had
seventeen Italians with him at thetime.
They were frightened as we'll as some
other people we know of, near where
we eat.
Will Bair thought he lived in quiet
neighborhood until the blow up, when
brick bats were hurled at him by the
cart load.
The Keystone Co., have notified
those persons whose windows were
broken by the explosion, to repair the
damage and bring bills of same to
them. Nothing small about the Key
stone.

minutes of nine O'Clock, the Keystone
Powder Company's Nitro Glycerine
factory exploded with terrific report,
shaking Emporium similar to an earth
quake. 1t was very evident that the
explosion was serious and hundreds
rushed over the hill to the scene, about
one mile from town. All kinds of re-
ports were in circulation but the facts
were soon made known. Mr.. o. B.
Barnes, the glycerine maker, together
with his assistants were working in the
glycerine house, when the fluid "fred."
Mr.. Barnes yelled to his men to run and
made for the breastworks, located a
short distance from the factory. Mr..
Barnes was just in the act of jumping
over the breastworks when the explo-
sion occurred and escaped death, al
though he was terribly shaken up and
covered with dirt and discolored with
fumes. His poor helpers, who in the
excitement failed to reach the place of
safety, were killed. Their names were
G. j. Cruickshank, who with his wife
and two childred resided in Bosworth
Row, and Melvin Morris, living with
his wife and two children in Dynamite
Hollow. Morris when found was still
alive and tried to speak. His crushed
remains were at once carried to the
packing house, but he died on the road.
Cruickshank was instantly killed.
Both men were hurled quite distance.
Geo. Nickerson, the teamster, was
nearing the factory with two horse
wagon load of acid in carboys, when
tho explosion took place. He jumped
under the wagon and did not discover
until after the excitement had some
what subsidized, that his right leg was
crushed below the knee. He was car
ried to his home, at the mouth of the
Run, when Drs. Smith and Heilman
amputated the leg seven inches above
the ankle. 1t was feared the nervous
shock would cause his death, but he is
now doing nicely.
1t now being evident there were no
other injured, President Geo. J. LaBar,
Vice President Jos. Lingle, Manager
E. w. Gaskill and Supt. Geo. w. Van
Vert turned their attention to the
dead and caused acting Coroner NJ. M.
Larrabee to visit the scene, after which
the dead were removed to LaBar's
undertaking rooms and prepared for
burial and then taken to the home OF
deceased.
The funerals of the dead men were
held on Tuesday and Wednesday. The
services over the remains of @. J.
Crnickshank was held at the home on
Chestnut street, Tuesday afternoon,
Rev. o. s. Metzler officiating, His
body was taken to Dubois for burial
yesterday morning, where the family
resided before moving to Emporium.
He was aged % years. Little is known
here of the deceased.
The funeral of the other unfortunate,
Melvin Morris, aged 81 years, was held
yesterday afternoon from the home,
Revs. r. McCaslin and o. S. Metzler
officiating, after which the remains
were placed in the family plot in New
ton Cemetery.
Mr.. Morris came to Emporium about
four years ago from Kane, where ne
had been employed for a number OF
years as blacksmith. We were per-
sonally acquainted with the deceased
and knew him as quiet, industrious
