The wreck occurred at what rail
road men call the Rock creek cut, on
a curve where jagged rock walls rise
on each side of the track almost 100
feet high. The engine was going so
rapidly that it passed the loose rail in
safety, jumped the track and struck
the side of the bluff to the right. and
the four cars following plowed through
it and shot against the high stone wall
at the left. The sides of the coaches
were torn off by scraping against the
rough stone surface and passengers

A Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard
against bowel troubles. AS rule it
is only necessary to give the child q
dose of castor oil to correct any dis
order of the bowels. Do not use any
substitute, but give the old-fashioned
castor oil, and see that it is fresh, as
rancid oil nauseates and has a ten
dency to grippe. If this does not check
the bowels give Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
then dose of castor oil, and the dis
ease may be checked in its incipiency
and all danger avoided. The castor
oil and this remedy should be pro-
cured at once and kept ready for in
slant use as soon as the first indica-
ton of any bowel trouble appears.
This is the most successful treatment
known and may be relied upon with
implicit confidence even in cases of
cholera infantum. For sale by all
druggists.
