by Train.

A grewsome spectacle was presented
to the vision of Coroner w. P. Camp on
the railroad track of the West Virginia
5 Pittsburg division of the Baltimore
s Ohio railroad a short distance from
the Two Lick coal mines, ave miles
south of this city, at an early hour Fri.
day morning. The crushed and man
gled remains of white man were found
strewn along the track for a distance
OF 200 yards. The trunk of the body
was found lodged in the board fence by
the side of the track
With the assistance of undertakers
from the Clifford Osborne undertaking
establishment of this city the scattered
remains were picked up, placed in a
basket and brought to the undertaking
parlors in this city, where they were
later prepared for burial. Nothing was
found in the clothing that gave any clue
to the dead mans identity.
The remains Were discovered early
Friday morning between five and six
o'clock by some miners employed at the
Two Lick mines, who were walking the
track on their way to their work. They
at once made known their grewsome find
and short time later Coroner Camp
was notified. he went to the scene of
the accident Immediately.
The right leg of the uufortunate's
body was crushed into pulp The
whole right side of the body wa. man
gled and torn into pieces. The skull
was mashed in at the forehead and there
was deep cut in the chin. The coro-
ner found the trunk of the body lodged
in the fence with the left leg stuck
through the fence rails. The clothing
was torn from the body and pieces of it
were found along the track. The man
had valise and a small bundle of
clothes, but these were found cnt into
bits. There was nothing in the yalise
so far as could be ascertained.
The man was apparently 80 years of
age, with smooth face and the hair of
his head closely cut. 1t is believed that
he was riding on the early morning
freight train on his way to secure work
in one of the coal mines and that he
fell from the train under the wheels.
No one in the vicinity knew anything
about him and the remains were not
identified by any who saw them.
Coroner Camp decided that there
would be no necessity of holding an in
quest The remains viii be kept at
the Clifford Osborne undertaking estab-
lishment while efforts are made 10 have
the man identified.

The wonderful results of the use Of
Plant Juice in the removal of parasites
from the system has stirred up the
local medical fraternity of the city to
a considerable extent, and the discussion
of some of the cases has bsen quite in
teresting. One well-known physician in
speaking of the matter said,
Il have been very much interested in
what reports have been able to gather
of the results accomplished by this new
remedy which has been introduced here.
1 was at arst skeptical, but am at last
forced to believe that this formula must
be of great medical value. am espe-
cially interested in its power to re.
move parasites from the human system
and am astonished at the frequency
with which the medicine performs this
function, as in the remarkable cure OF
James P. Davy, at Frank Welsh's Third
street barber shop, who passed tape
worm 70 feet long head and all, after
taking Plant Juice for only three days.
I must admit that am at a loss to
even hazard guess as to the properties
contained in the remedy which pro-
duces these results, as would never
have believed it, had it not been proven
this diseases of this nature were az
prevalent, and am at complete loss
to determine the nature of the remedy.
/ will frankly admit that since these
remarkable demonstrations have taken
place that a number OF people who have
come TO me in the past suffering with
what / believed to be stomach trouble
may have been unfortunate enough to
have been preyed upon by internal para
sites"
Reports of the successful results of
the Plant Juice remedies sold by Col.
Frank A. Dillingham; continue to come
in from all sources, and new cures are
increasing with the spread of the good
news among the afflicted. The results
of the general use of Plant Juice in a
number of cases have been so satisfac-
tory that it has become necessary to
establish a permanent depot for its sale
rs well as the sales of the other rene
dies manufactured and prepared under
the direction of Col. Dillingham;.
The Plant Juice remedies are now on
sale at the rug store of Wells & Hay
maker, sl6 Main street, every kind
manufactured having been placed there
for sale The prices are exactly the
same as charged by Col. Dillingham;, and
the same care has been exercised in the
preparation and compromising.

MnIIoNARE's POOR STOMACH.

The worn-out stomach OF the over-sed
millionaire Is often paraded in the pub
lie 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. Tass proportion is far greater
among the toilers. dyspepsia and in.

pie, and they suffer far worse tortures
than the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of standard medicine like
Green's August Flower, which has been
favorite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over IS years. An

creating appetite and insuring perfect

JUMPS FROM BRIDGE
INTO WEST FORK RIVER

Daisy Kick, pretty young lady
about IS yars olG. an= intelligent look
ing, made deliberate attempt at ssli-
eide at $3.50 o'clock Thursday nigat by
jumping from the Fair Grounds bridge
into the West Fork river. She went to
the middle of the bridge and threw one
leg over the east side rail and pitched
herself forward, falling into the water
above the bridge, the distance being so
feet from the floor of the bridge to the
water.
The young woman passed to the
bridge Just in front of Charles Queen,
who was going to his home in the
SteaIey addition. She turned around
and saw linn and then broke into run.
When she came to the middle pier of tne
bridge she threw her pocketbook on the
bridge floor and jumped into the river
as already described.
Queen saw her jump and gave the
alarm, which was heard by Robert
Lewis, coIored, Edward Kidd and a man
named Bell. They ran to the river,
waded in and pulled her out of the
water, which was shallow at that point.
She objected strenuously to the rescue,
begging them to leave her there and
declaring that she intended to kill her
self and would find deeper hole next
time.
She was taken to the home of Police
man E. H. Rogers in that neighborhood
and physicians and officers were sum
moned. DR.. John B. Payne took charge
of the case and had her removed to
the hospital, after he had given her
treatment.
While the jump was enough to kill
her, yet she escaped serious injury, un-
less she is internally hurt, which can
not vet be determined. The left side
of her face was cut considerably and
her left hip was rather badly mashed
She sustained number of bruises also
The pocketbook contained handker-
chief and a note, which she had writ
ten, telling that she had been a domes-
tic at the home of J. R. Hickman in
Glen Elk, and also giving her name.
At the hospital next morning she eS-
pressed regret that the water was not
deeper and repeatedly said that she in
tended to end her life, assigning as a
reason for that intention that she was
an orphan, homeless and without friends
The physician in attendance says she
has strong symptoms of insanity, which
may be the result of the fall, or which
she may have suffered from at the time
of attempting to kill herself.
