The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
ore dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages,
and that is Catarrh, Halls Catarrh
cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
Inent. Halls Catarrh cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun-
dalton of the disease, snd giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

HOG CHOLERA
The Problem of a Cure is
Now Solved

DR.. j. H. Snoddy. of Alton, Ill.
has discovered positive cure and
preventative for this terrible dis
ease. He has had it in use for ten
years and has saved millions Of dol
lars worth of cholera hogs for the
public. The directions for its use
are simple and easy to follow. Any
practical farmer can stop the worst
outbreak Of cholera that ever came
and save every hog that is able to
take the treatment.
This treatment is not an expense
to farmer, because it clears his
herd of every character of worm
and parasite and puts them in such
a thrifty condition that the extra
gain they will make from the effect
of this treatment will return the
farmer SIS in this extra gain for
every dollars worth of the remedy
used properly and right.
1t is the greatest worm remedy
known to medical science. 1t pays
farmer to keep his hogs clear of
worms with it. When the hog is
clear of worms and in good thrifty
condition it is rather a hard matter
to infect him with cholera without
directly exposing him to the germ.
1t pays to use the medicine wheth-
er there is any cholera around or
not.
This wonderful remedy is man
ufactured by the DR.. J. H. Snoddy
Remedy Co., Alton, ILL.,, and is for
sale byiPlanters Hardware Co., in
corporafed, of Hopkinsville, and E.
w. Stegar & Dixon, at MasonviIle.
KY. Anyone calling on either of
these firms can get DR.. Snoddy's
free book on hog cholera, free of
charge. Every farmer should have
one.

For Kentucky. Probably rain or
snow and warmer Thursday.

During a session which for it's dra-
matir climaxes possibly surpassed
anything of the kind in the railroad
history of the country, E. H. Har-
Kiman spent the entire day yesterday
on the stand before the Interstate
Commerce Commission in New York
city. The master merger of big
roads admitted. under questioning,
that the big systems of the country
had brought upon themselves the
wave Of legislation which is at pres
ent sweeping the country. He ad-
mitted that he would absorb the San
Ia Fe system if not convinced the
Commission would prevent.

FOURTEEN KILLED
Fire and Explosion Weeks Havoc in
New York Tenement.

New York, July.-An explosion, ac-
companied by fire, shattered an East
Side tenement late Sunday night, and
with the crumbling walls IA people
at least went down to death. while
Twice as many were probably fatally
injured The horror was a repetition of
the periodical blaze that sweeps
through the densely populated foreign
section OF the city and is almost in
varibly attended with panic and death.
The building was at 222 Christie street
where siX-story tenement rose above
the grocery store basement. An ex-
plCSlon as yet unaccounted for tore
out the front of the building, and the
fre that followed caught the 20 fam
lies, numbering about 100 persons,
while most of them were asleep Not
until the ashes have cooled will it
De possible to recover all Of the bodies
OF the dead. OF the injured many
jumped from tile windows. others were
caught by falling timbers, many suf-
located by smoke being drag
ged from the Railways, while others
received wounds during the panic and
mad fight for an exit
The tenement was occupied chiefly
by Italians. A passerby was attracted
TO the explosion, which apparently
occurred on the basement floor. AS he
turned toward the building, the whole
front with its flimsy fire escapes, fell
into the street and from the sagging
floors a score of half awake people
dropped into the street. Many of
them were badly hurt, but they proved
TO be the more fortunate of the tene-
ments, for in another moment the
building was wrapped in flames, and
the cries of persons burning to death
rent the air In the wild panic that
followed, many received mortal inju-
ries. Several who sought to escape
by rear stairway were driven back
by the choking smoke Some of these
made their way through the fire to
other exits, but more fell overcome in
the Railways to be dragged out in
sensible by the police and firemen.
Of the dead and dying, large part
are women and children. In the scram-
BILE for an exit and safety the stronger
survived.
