Terre Haute, Ind. Jan. 2o.-Mem-
bers of the crew of the Big Four
freight train in which car of some
high explosive blew up last Saturday
night at the neighboring town of San
ford, demolishing the freight and a
passenger train on a parallel track
and killing twenty-six persons, told
Coroner Leavitt their theories of the
accident today.
The railroad men all miraculously
escaped death, though several were
seriously hurt They say the explos-
ion was in car loaded with Fontanet
powder. Most of them limited howev-
er, that some one had struggled few
packages of dynamite into the ship
ment.
The general opinion among the rail
road men is that there was a leakage
of powder from the car and that the
train was fired by a spark from the
passing passenger locomotive.

Hamilton Lads Administered
Defeat to Local Team by
Score of 29 to %.
ASSOCIATION LOST MONEY
RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURE
LACKED SEVEN DOLLARS OF
MEETING-THE GAME WAS A
GOOD ONE.

Before very small but enthusiastic
crowd, the Richmond high school
team went down in defeat before the
strenuous assault of the Hamilton
high school basket ball five last night
90 to 3d.
From start to finish the game was
well played both teams at times show
ing extraordinary prowess. Hamilton
lead during the entire game although
by strenuous spurts. the local lads
were at different times in touching
distance, but that was all.
Much was expected of Eggemeyer
but he was guarded closely through
out, and did not have a chance to
demonstrate his ability in the goal
throwing line. Allison and Sands
played the best game for the locals,
their work telling to a greater extent
on the final score than did any of the
others. 1t was largely through their
work that Richmond succeeded in
scoring as many points as she did.
One of the most noticeable features
of the game was the lack of atten-
dance. Not even the high school stu
dents supported the team by purchas-
ing tickets or attending, and as the
result the athletic association is out
just seven cold dollars as the result
of the lack of interest. The members
of the team say that even though
there were several other attractions
in town last night, the game between
the two high schools was deserving
of better attendance than it receiv-

This Medicine Is Good, Too, For All
Forms of Blood Disorders.
This winter, at last, will prove a
! harvest for the doctors and patent med

is taken to dress warm and keep the
feet dry.
This is the advice of a well known
local physician and should be needed
by all who are subject to rheumatism.
kidney and bladder troubles and espe-
cially catarrh While the latter is
considered by most sufferers an incur
able disease. there are few men or wo-
men who will fail to experience great
relief from the following simple home
prescription. and if taken in time 1t
may prevent an attack of catarrh dur
ing the entire season
Here is the prescription, which any
one can mix: Fluid extract dandelion,
one-half ounce; compound kargon, one
ounce: compound strip sarsaparilla.
three ounces Shake well in a bottle
and use in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and again at bedtime
These are ali vegetable ingredients
and can be obtained from any good
prescription pharmacy at small cost.
The compound kargon in this pre-
scription acts directly upon the elm

them filter and strain from the blood
the poisons that produce all forms Of
catarrhal affections. Relief is often
felt even after the first few doses. and
1t is seldom that sufferer ever expe-

This prescription makes a splendid
remedy for all forms Of blood disor-

bladder weaknesses and rheumatic
pains are entirely dispelled.
As this valuable prescription comes
from thoroughly reliable source, it
should be needed by every afflicted
