JOHN HlNDMAN ON THE
 VIRTUES OF ALCOHOL.
Says Nothing Was Created in Vain And Alcohol Properly Used is
 Beneficial to Mankind.
To The Newark Journal.


 my argument on the virtues of al cohol, and also some of the causes of it's abuse.
 Men, by the insatiableness of their appetites, or the desire for stimulants; that is, a large num- Der of them, must be endowed with a powerful self-will to resist the natural craving that IS nearly ever present for stimulants of some kind. If they do not get 1t in alcoholic liquors they take t Tn morphine, chloral, etc. And of these liquor seems to be the favor ite. People who live we'll, that is have plenty of good, strong, nour- ishing food. do not require the amount of artificial stimulant that those do who have to subsist on low and weak diet, because the strong and nourishing food gives off more stimulant of itself than the weak food, thereby satiating the desire for artificial stimulants to that extent. We think 1t is d. conceded fact that persons whose occupation requires strong mental labor are about the first to give way under the strain of paental ex- haustion. Their bodies become weak and emaciated, because the mental has taken d large portion of the stimulant from their bodies. In occupation revuiring hard men, tai labor certain parts of the brain or mental stricture, becomes worked to exhaustion, while other parts of this structure remain al- most dormant. The exhausted parts are tired. They want rest. and must have it, or the physical and mental selves will go to the grave together. So it is with the physical structure doing certain work. The feet and legs may be- entirely exhausted, while the arms and hands may be almost dormant It takes about three meals daily of good bone and muscle food, to keep them going.
 We think 1t is pretty generally conceded that the quickest and most effectual remedy for an over worked brain, is good toddy or it's equivalent. If the mind Is af- ficted with prohi ideas, Peruna or Sarsapharilla will answer. Under the influence of moderate stimu- lant, be 1t wine, whisky, or any thing of that nature, the brain as- sumes the equilibrium, which gives rest to the over-worked faculties and they go to sleep, while these parts that have not been in the action come to the fore. We think that seven-tenths of those people who use alcoholic liquors to ex- cess are born in a condition that makes it nearly impossible for |
 them to resist the temptation.
 Now we will say few words to mothers, and to those who expect to become mothers. And what | am going to tell you Is one of na- ture's memorable laws, and cannot be violated with impunity. We presume that nearly all women who have passed the age of gesta- tion, have, Gf you don't know the meaning of the word look in your dictionary and l will not have tO tell you at some time in that per- iod felt down-spirited, wornout and weak, almost to exhaustion felt like they would have to givn

CANNON BALL CRASHED
 INTO SWITCH AT DIAZ
Main Line Train, Running at Full Speed, Wrecked and Engi-
 neer and Fireman Killed.

III the history or the Iron MOuh- tain railroad, occurred at Diaz, twelve miles from this place, last Saturday morning about four o'clock.
 Engineer W. N. Horton, of Lit tie Rock, and Fireman Arch Dool- Tn of Poplar Bluff, were killed, and eleven injured.
 E. L. kerger, express messen- ger, St Louis, face blistered.
 c. L. Harper, passenger, leg bruised.
 Miss Rosa Chaineky, Dallas, Tex, ankle broken and face slightly bruised.
 Other slightly injured were J.S. Martin, Hot Springs; F. Fowler, Chicago; Max Meyer, Hot Springs; N. l.. MeGee, Austin, Ark; Mrs. Carl Hoepler, Ger many; \. B McAllister, Noun tain View, Ark.
 The train was running at a speed of about fifty miles an hour when the accident occurred, and 1t is indeed miraculous that large number of people were not killed. The wreck occurred at the north end of the yards at Diaz, and was caused by a broken switch rod. The great force of the heavy train running at so high a rate of speed caused the mitered rail to swing sspart from the main rail, causing she big engine to leave the track andt9aele over into the ditch.
 One of thepail cars, an l. Sa G. \. car, was broSn in two and one part of 1t reducfF Q splinters, while another mail cal pd an ex- press car kept to the maA line, on she ties, however, and ran some distance past the engine where they came to a standstill in ca reening position at an angle of about 45 degrees, but did not turn over, and the larger portion of their contents were saved.
 The chair car followed the en- zine into the ditch, and ran up on top of the engine, which caused the debris to catch fire and the en- tire train, except the two cars which ran past the engine on the main line, was soon reduced to ashes and scrap iron. The two sleeping cars on the rear of the train did not leave the track, but were soon enveloped in the spreading flames and totally de- stroyed.
 A Journal epresentative visited +he scene of the wreck a short time after 1t occurred and was ap- nailed at the awful destruction. SOne could not look upon the burn inc heaps of wreckage and under stand how the passengers escaped with their lives.
 The train was made up of one baggage and two mail cars, combi- nation smoker and colored car, chair and two sleepers making eioht cars, and was pulled by one of the finest engines on the road. The loss to the company is some thing like S75,o0o.
 Ghe injured were removed to ,awport where they were cared for and the remains of the dead engineer and fireman were ship ned to their respective homes in Little Rock and Poplar Bluff.
 The work of clearing away the wreekage was commenced immedi- ateIy after the victims were cared

MILL is BLOWN UP
Powder Factory at Edwards Sta.
ton, Near Peoria, Wiped
Off the Earth.
SHOCK FELT "a MILES AWAY
Friction During Grinding Process Sup
posed Cause-EmpIoyes at
Safe Distance.

A terrific explosion, which shook the
earth for miles around and the shock of
which was distinctly felt on the east
and west bluffs, IA miles away. totally
destroyed wheel mill No. 5, of the Buck
eye Powder company's plant, near Ed
wards Station, Thursday afternoon.
Edwards Station is a little town near
Peoria on the c., B. & Q.
The cause of the explosion, while it
can never be definitely ascertained, is
believed to have been the friction caus-
ed by the grinding of the powder be-
tween the heavy stones which are used.
There was no one in the mill at the
time of the explosion, and fortunately
there is no list of dead and injured to
be printed.
Thought 1t IN Earthquake.
Farmers living in the vicinity of Ed
wards Station believed that an earth
quake had occurred until 10 or Is min
utes after the explosion, when a dense
cloud of white smoke appeared over
Edwards Station. and rising gradually,
slowly disintegrated and blew away
cation TO the entire countryside of what
had happened.
The property loss to the owners of
the powder factory will not be large
The mill, which was blown to atoms,
was small stone building of inexpen-
sive construction. The greatest loss
VIII be that of the powder which was
being ground at the time of the explo-
sion. Powder mill No. 3 is one of the
mills in which the almost finished prod
uct is granulated beneath a huge hor-
izontal milestone which revolves in a
pan.
Men Leave the MIL
1t is the custom at the works to fill
these pans with coarse powder. let the
stones down into them gradually, and
then when the machinery is started and
the stones begin to revolve all the men
desert the mill. The process of grind
ing the powder is most dangerous and
the men are not allowed to enter the
mill while it is in operation. This is
how it happened that the mill was de-
serted when the explosion took place
about l O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
A. Magnificent Spectacle.
Spectators who saw the explosion de-
scribe il as magnificent sight. Those
in the neighborhood were startled to
see gigantic column of white smoke
rise TO height of several hundred feet.
followed by deafening roar that seem
ed 10 fill the very heavens. The air
was filled with a strange commotion.
and then it seemed as if the solid earth
shook Many windows in the neigh
borhood were broken and dishes in the
houses nearest the mill were shaken
from tables and cupboards and dashed
TO pieces on the floor.

National Guard Appropriation Cut
Down by Legislature.

Rock Island soldier boys will have
to get along this summer in the regu-
lation blue uniform, for the edict has
gene out that there will be no khaki
uniforms furnished the soldiers of the
Illinois National guard this year. The
appropriations covering the national
guard, when taken up by the commit
tee at Springfield this week, were
closely scrutinized, with the result
that the provision for an expenditure
of $685. was stricken out and the
bill referred back to the subcommit
tee, with the possibility that it will
be pared down still further
1t has been the custom to supply
every member of the Illinois National
guard with two uniforms a year, the
regulation blue and the khaki for
summer The blue uniform is consid-
cred too warm for summer but from
present prospects the Rock Island
boys will either dig up last years
