ONLY TWO KILLED
IN EXPLOSION
Less Number Of Fatalities at Gordon,

Dynamite Plant Wrecked.

ROBINSON, Ill, April 16.-Charles
Deweis and Moses Lantz We're blown
to atoms yesterday when the nitro
glycerine factory of the Independent
Torpedo company, of Gordon, H., was
destroyed by an explosion. The mill
is five miles southeast of this city and
only two men were at work when the
explosion occurred.
The ground at the plant was torn
up for an acre and nothing is left to
show the plant once existed. Only a
small part of the breast of one of the
men was found,
The explosion shook the country
for twenty miles aroud. Here the
shock was so strong that the plaster
ing fell from the ceilings of the houses
and people ran out of their homes,
thinking an earthquake had occurred.
Every building in the city was shak-
en-, but the loss was small.

AN EASY AND HARMLESS WAY TO
DARkEN THE HAIR

Who does not know of the value of
sage and sulphur for keeping the hair
dark, glossy and in good condition?
AS matter of fact, sulphur Is natur-
al element of hair, and deficiency of
it in the hair is held by many scalp
specialists to be connected with
loss of color and vitality of the
hair. Unquestionably there is no bet
ter remedy for hair and scalp troubles
especially premature grayness than
sage and sulphur, il properly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Company, "a
Cortlandt ST., New York City, put up
an ideal preparation of this kind, call
ed Wyeth's Sage ard Sulphur. 1t is
sold by all leading druggists for 50c.
and S1.00 a bottle, or is sent direct by
the manufacturers upon receipt OF
price. For sale and recommended by

at half price the regular so cent size

had one returned, although they stand
ready at any time to refund the money
should any customer be dissatisfied
Anyone suffering from dyspepsia,

fund the money if it does not cure.
