The joint investigation of the Rhode Island public utilities commission and the interstate commerce commission into the fatal wreck at Bradford of Monday night will begin this morning at 10 o'clock. It will be held in the statehouse. Agents of the federal rail- road commission and the state com mission met at Bradford Wednesday morning and decided upon the details of the investigation. Then, in com pany with many of the officials of the road, they carefully went over the scene of the accident.
 Tn the afternoon, at the request of the New Haven officials, they went to Midway to look over the two engines that figured in the crash. This was done because the road Is badly crip- pied for want of motive power for trains and wishes to have them re- leased as soon as possible.
 The members of the Rhode Island public utilities commission that went to Bradford Wednesday were Chairman William c. Bliss, Samuel E. Hudson and Col. Robert F. Rodman, with George A. Carmichael, investigatins agent of the commission. The repre- sentatives of the interstate commerce commission present were Chief In spectors F. A. Howard and J. P. Me. Ardle. and George E. Ellis, chief of the signal inspectors.

LEXINGTON MAN TELLS HIGHLY
INTERESTING STORY OF HIS
EXPERIENCES.

C. T. Conner has reached the par
ing of the ways. He is nov travel
ling along the way of greater happi-
nes and Of contentment, which he
appreciates all the more, he says, be-
cause he has been through enough of
trouble and suffering during the past
several years to emphasize to him
what he considers the good fortune
he has met.
Mr.. Connor lives about five miles
from New Brookland, a suburb of
Columbia, on Rural Route No. 2. He
is a substantial farmer. He came
to Burnett G. Whetsell's Drug Store,
at New Brookland and while there
he voluntarily told his amazing story
of how Tanlac, the master medicine,
had banished his really alarming
troubles. He said:
81 had been a sufferer for a long
time with stomach and intestinal
troubles. I underwent an operation
for appendicitis more than a year
ago, and p~eritonitis, which followed,
almost killed me. Before and after
this operation, nothing I would eat
would stay on my stomach. I had
no appetite. I lost weight until I
was about fifty pounds under my
normal weight.
indigestion caused me a lot Of
suffering, and I expect it was the
beginning of all my other troubles.
Very little of what I ate was assimi-
lated. At breakfast, I could not eat
at all. For six months I was so weak
I could not work, though I tried many
medicines and had the benefit of
other competent treatment. My
nerves were almost shattered. I
could, not sleep well.
"Several friends told me of Tan
lac, and 1 began taking it: I have
gained thirty pounds in weight, and
my system has been wonderfully
built up. I can work as long and
as hard now as the average farmer.
MY system has been regulated by
Tanlac, and I can eat all / can get.
I can shoot accurately now, so steady
have my nerves become. 1ndiges-
