baggage and smoking cars left the
rails on emerging from a tunnel and
plunged over the 70-foot embankment
and were submerged in the waters of
Diamond lake.
Spreading rails, probably caused by
sun kinks, is given as the cause.
Immediately after the smoker hit
the water there was a binding flash
which spread over the part of the car
not submerged and a fire followed.
The impact was SO terrific that sew
eral other cars on the train were
wrenched and twisted and the fact
that the coupling did not break on the
dining, tourist, and sleeping cars,
was the only thing that avo&ed even
greater loss of life
Engineer Munson and Fireman Bell
evidently stuck to their posts, and it
is believed, too, that the locomotive is
in from 100 to 800 feet Of water.
Two divers made half dozen at
tempts to find the locomotive, but
they were unsuccessful.
w. S. Linneman, a contractor for
construction work on the Oregon rail-
road and Navigation company, broke
through a window to escape from the
burning and half submerged smok-

We refer to that boon to weak, nervous,

Favorite Prescription.
DR.. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staff
of THE ECLECTIC MEDICAL REVIEW says
of Unicorn root (HeJOnids DiOjcd) which
is one of the chief ingredients of the "Fa-
vorite Prescription
IA remedy which invariably acts as a utter
inc invigorator makes for normal ac-
He continues Hin HelOniaS we have medica-
ment which more fully answers the above
purposes than any other drug tOtth lCRtch am
acquainted. In the treatment OF diseases pc
culiar to women it is seldom that a case is
seen which does not present some indication
for this remedial agent" Dr. Fyfe further
says: "The following are among the leading
indications for HeloniaS Unicorn root. Pain
or aching in the back, with leucOrrhona
atomic (wealO conditions of the reproductive
organs of women, mental depression and ir-
ritabiiity, associated with chronic diseases of
the reproductive organs of women; constant

If more or less of the above symptoms
are present, no invalid woman can do
better than take DIR. Pierce's Favorite

ents of which is Unicorn root, or HeOnias,
and the medical properties of which it
most faithfully represents.

Prof Finley EllingwOOd, M. D., of Ben

alt is an important remedy in disorders of

and general enfeeblement, it is useful"
Prof. John M. Scudder, NJ. D., late of
Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root:
UIn relation to its general effects on the
system there is no medicine in use about tUfic
