WRECKED By DYNAMITE.
Explosion at JellicO, Tenn, Does
100000 Damage.

A terrific dynamite explosion at Jellico,
Tenn. caused the loss of at least nine
lives and more or less seriously injured
not less than fifty people. Property dam
age estimated at S1,OOO.O00 was done and
the town of Jellico, KY, was practically
destroyed. At least 800 people are home
less. Without exception every business
house in the town is either totally wreck
ed or badly damaged. The union station
of the Southern railway and the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad, located about
100 yards from the scene of the explO-
sion, was shattered to splinters. This cut
off all telegraphc communication and
news of the explosion was handled by
telephone.
The explosion occurred upon the Ken
tucky side of Jellico, and in consequence
every business house on that side Of the
town was wrecked Not one was spared.
A large number of residences located near
the railroad on the Kentucky side were
demolished. AS a result it is estimated
that One-seventh of the population of the
two Jelicos is homeless.
A car loaded with dynamite, and con-
signed to the Rand Powder Company, was
brought in by the Southern railway from
the direction of Knoxville and was side
tracked in the yards used jointly by the
Southern railway and the L. & n 1t is
believed that the explosion was caused
from spontaneous combustion in the car.
The spot where the car stood is marked
by crevasse in the earth fully twenty
feet deep ard about thirty feet in dame
ter.
Word was received in Winnipeg, Man.,
of a dynamite explosion. which occurred
on the right of way of the Grand Trunk
Pacific railway near Finmark, northwest

A mystery which has long puzzled the
South Cheshire Hunt has been solved. Foxes
hunted in the neighborhood Of Combermere
Abbey had n way of disappearing, and no

occurred at the last meet.
An attempt to dig out a fox from q hole into
which he had vanished revealed the secret.
He had fallen into q main drain. which was
evidently a traditional place OF sanctuary.

Chinchillas used to be found in great num-

RUNNING SORES
COVERED LIMBS
Little Girls Obstinate Case Of
Eczema = Instantaneous Relief
By Cuticura- Little Boys Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
of Torturing Sores = Grateful
Mother Says;
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

in reply to your letter write you
my experience, and you are privileged
to use it as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case of eczema, | resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
ain July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura ONT
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; 80 we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from doctor, and where
it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.
