DEATH BY DYNAMITE
TWENTY MEN KILLED BY PREMA TURF EXPLOSION IN NEW
 YORK QUARRY.
BODIES MINGLED BEYOND RECOGNITION
Callahan Road Improvement Company Were Preparing a Gigantic Blast When a Percussion Cap Was Pre- matureIy Discharged Setting on Over 1000 Pounds o' Explosive.

Albany, N. Y. May 14.-At least 20 men were killed by a premature blast of dynamite in stone quarry oper- ated by the Callahan Road Improve ment company near South Bethlehem, II miles southwest of Albany
 One thousand pounds of dynamite exploded and the bodies of the victims were hurled hundreds of feet by the concussion and so badly mutilated as to be almost beyond recognition. As darkness was falling a wagon drew up to the engine house loaded with bodies that had been picked up back on the quarry hill A crowd of grief stricken relatives gathered around eager to identify the dead.
 Italians with shovels found here and there portions of bodies and brought their gruesome loads in boxes to the engine house which served as tenn porary morgue.
 The Callahan Road Improvement company furnishes crushed stone for road building. The preparations for the blast had been going on for six weeks. Thirteen holes, 75 feet deep had been drilled at points about 20 feet back of the face of the big quarry and the explosion of the dynamite with which they were to be loaded was expected to displace 10000 tons of rock.
 Over 5000 pounds of dynamite were to have been used.
 The workmen had placed 500 pounds charges in six of the holes and were working on the seventh when a per cussion cap was prematurely discharg- ed. A terrific explosion followed which hurled tons of rock into the air and scattered the bodies of the vic iims in all directions.
 The officers were standing rear by at he time directing the work. Houses in the vicinity were shaken aGd win. lows shattered by the eoneussion and constemation reigned in the little VI. lage half a mile away.

Memory Plays Him False.

Even the sight of his vife dia not summon back his lost memory to the mind of the physician. He gazed al her and then turned and wearily asked: 'sWho is this woman ? I do not know her. " He was told that she was his wife, but he said that he did not recognize her. Dr. Graves is ap- parently making every effort to regain his memory and there is despair ia his voice when he speaks of his condition. He fears that he never will recover the lost sense. His mind is as much a blank as it was the day when he arrived in Oklahoma City.
 It is believed by the local phy- sicians that when he returns to his home at Crossett and spends some time in the surroundings of the past, his memory will return to him.
 Graves, his wife and daughter will return 10 Crossett tomorrow.

Pittsburg, Pa. May ,13.-Twenty per sons are missing and all of them are believed to have been drowned when gasoline launch sank in the middle of the Ohio river near Schoenv)lle, four miles below Pittsburg Of the So occupants of the boat, only ten are known to have escaped.
 All the men were employees Of the Pressed Steel Car company at the NC Kees Rocks plant. The men had been working over time until eight o'clock and left the works to cross the river in the launch about IS minutes later. The boat is said to have been intended for not over 20 persons, and it IS al leged 1t was dangerous to attempt to carry as many as 25 But all the men wanted to get across the river on the first trip and 30 of them crowded in. As the men started out in the boat, one of them is said to have remarked that 1t seemed to him to be over crowded and he feared 1t was not safe.
 Albert Graham, the pilot. and one of those who is missing, Is said to have replied that 1t was safe enough all right, as he had carried 27 persons. No more was said about the load, but when the boat reached the middle of the stream where the water is per haps 20 feet deep, the boat suddenly sank beneath the weight and went to the bottom As it sank, 1t caused a suction which took many of the men down with it. Others attempted to swim ashore, but were chilled by the cold water and became exhausted. So far as is known, only ten of the men reached shore.

Laxative for
 Women Free

There is great difference in the purposes to which laxative should be put. Tablets and pills, salts, etc, are usually violent purgatives or cathartics, and altogether too power tul for the average person.
 A woman at all times needs only mild laxatve--in fact, none other is needed by anyone, weak or strong though they may be, for the object is simply to move the bowels, and if gentle laxative VIII do 1t, what is the use of violent one?
 pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has earned wen-deseryed vogue among women and children and old folks-peope who must necessarily be careful of what they take.
 It IS liquid laxative tonic and ad- mittediy the greatest stomach. liver and bowel remedy before the American people. The price is only 50 cents or s1 a bottle. as it comes in both sizes. and all drug gists sell it. Its pleasant taste and gentle action make 1t an ideal remedy for women in constipation, torpid liver, sour stom- ach, sick headache, heartburn and such like digestive complaints. Its uso for a short time will remove the trouble en- tireiy so that future medication will be unnecessary. Its tonic properties build up the stomach and intestinal muscles so that they. act naturally again. That this is so is the experience of many heads of families, like Mrs. Brannan, of Alvarado. VE., Mrs, K. l.. Stout, of Louisville, Ky.. Williams, Cal, as Mrs. J. E. Biachmore. Of that place, writes, the whole town seems to be using 1t.
 If the remedy Is new to you and vou want to make trial of II before buying, send your name to the doctors address, az below and free test bottle will be sent you. Then, If results are satisfactory you can buy It of your druggist.
