fish that weighed half a hundred

At the end of it's nose, above a
great gaping mouth, was a long car
tilaginous rod, about the length and
thickness. of a large knitting needle, on
the top of which hung a bundle of fl
aments that must have looked, in the
water, like tiny suspended sole. Any
fish making for this tempting bait was
promptly swallowed by the gaping
jaws of the sea angler lying in hiding
for the purpose. 1t was of great
length, with an ugly head and two pee
toral pockets" but the latter were

-Four Facts For
Sick Women
To Considez
Lydio E. PinEbans's Vegetable Compound
Has an UnequaHsd Rscord of Cures
Mrs. PinkhGnr's AdUice Is CoHffdsH-
G0l, Free, and 0flOaps Helpful

FIRST. - That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful menstruation, leucorrhRa,
displacements of the uterus, pain in
the side. burning sensation in the stom-
ach, bearing-down pains, nervousness,
dizziness and sleeplessness.
SECOND. The medicine that holds
the record for the largest nSmber of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
It regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, all utter
inc and ovarian Inflammation, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
menstruation perfectly and overcome
ing its pains. It has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change of life.
THIRD. The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
FOURTH Every ailing woman in the
United States is asked to accept the
following invitation. 1t is free, will
bring you health and may save your
life.
Mrs. Plnkham's Standing Invitation
to Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham. at Lynn, Mass. ALI letters are
received, opened. read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Ont OF the vast volume Of ex-
perience in treating female ills Mrs.
Pinkham probably has the very knowl-
edge that will help your case. Surely,
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
il she does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.

KILLED BY AN EXPLOSION
accident on Pennsylvania Improve
ment Near Harrisburg
Dynamite Expert victim--Remarkabl
Escape OF One Laborer-Tool
shed Torn Out.

Harrisburg, Pl.-ElSnt men were
blown to pieces and two others We're
injured by the premature explosion of
a big blast on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road improvement near New Cumber-
land at 7.3O O'Clock in the morning. All
the victims were employees of H. S.
Kerbaugh & Co., contractors, who are
building the double tracks for the
Pennsylvania Railroad to connect with
the Enola yards.
James Wisemap, aged fifty, a dyna-
mite boss, of SO Front avenue, Buffalo.
N. r.; two negroes, two Slavs and three
Italians, the latter known only by num-
bers, were killed. Not a trace of the
two negroes could be found, and it was
supposed their bodies were blown into
the river, which was dragged. What
could be found of Wiseman's body
was identified by his dyed hair.
Wiseman had been with the Ker-
baugh Company for five years and had
gone TO the scene of the explosion to
superintend the preparations for what
is called big shot, A big shot
consists Of series of blasts, the holes
having been drilled in a row and the
charges being set off simultaneously
by an electric spark.
Five of the holes had been filed with
powder, and the men We're at work on
the sixth when the explosion occurred.
1t was supposed that small stone
had dropped into the hole, and the iron
bar with which the men were ''tamp-
ing" down the charge caused a spark
by scraping on the stone, and that this
ignited the powder
John Shelter, the fireman of an en-
CINE 100 feet away, was thrown to the
ground by the force of the explosion
and slightly injured by flying debris.
G. G.. Miller was sitting at the door of
the shack where the men bunk. 200
feet from the blast, and was blown
twenty-five feet and badly bruised.
One Italian escaped because fellow
workman had playfully snatched his
hat and run with it. The owner ran
after the man with the hat. and had
just got out of range Of the explosion
when it occurred
An Italian waterboy, twelve years
old, who was on his way to the men
with bucket Of water, was hurled
fifty feet. Every stitch of clothing
was torn from his body.
A leather belt containing 1912 in
paper money, supposed to belong to
one of the men, was picked up near the
scene of the explosion.
There were no buildings in the imme-
date vicinity Of the explosion, but a
large tool shed in nearby quarry was
torn clear out and drawn fifteen feet
toward the scene of the blast. The ex-
plosion shook the country for miles
around and broke many windows in
Harrisburg and towns across the river.
An inquest was held the next after
noon by Squire Coble, of Lemoyne The
jury rendered verdict of premature
explosion from an unknown cause, with
no blame attached to the contractors.
