the blood, destroys the tissues and bones
a canker sore into the flesh.
This horrible disease appears first in the form of a little sore or blister ; soon
the glands begin to swell, pimples break out on the body, the mouth and throat
become sore, making it painful to eat or swallow; dreadful ulcers appear on the
tongue, copper colored splotches and other characteristic signs of Blood Poison
come as the disease progresses, and the destructive virus takes deeper hold upon the
system. The medical men are as sorely perplexed over the character of this blood
poison as ever ; they tell you to take mercury and potash alternately for three years,
but the stomach of no human being can stand this treatment long ; besides, they do
not cure the disease permanently, as thousands wno nave inea u Know.

Mystery Cleared Up by a Cowboy's Die

Santa Ft ear No. 4,840 had left ft
well kuowu fruit packer's establish
theat la the Snu tSabiiel valley, Califor
nia, during the latter days of March of
the present year, loaded with select
oranges, consigned to a commission
firm la one of the great Eastern mar
kets. U was a bright, fresh-appearing
car, with all the modern cold-storage
appliances, recently put In order for
the frult-shlpplug season, which was
Just at Its Inception. ,
For days the heavy laden train, man
ned with a sturdy crew, wound Its way
on Its long journey over the Sierra
Madre and Sierra Nevada mountains,
and started ou Its flight to Trinidad,
not far to the east, where tha sensa
tional Incident of tha Journey trans
pired. Car 4.8 JO had mysteriously and
strangely disappeared. At Raton, a di
vision station on tha Banta Fe, that
particular car, with others, had beeu
noted In the conductor's report and
turned over to the new crew.
Strangely this car did not appear In
the train reports when Trlntdad was
reached. The Ill-fated car dad drop
ped from sight, as If swallowed up by
the earth, and Its miraculous disap
pearance could uot be explained by tbe
train crew. The mystified trainmen
"were called upon the carpet" and sul
Jected to a searching Inquiry aa to the
whereabouts and magical disappear
ance of No. 4.840. The bewildered con
ductor could offer no solution of the
mystery that surrounded the lost car.
After many tlnys of perplexity, confu
sion and annoy lug Investigation, a cow
boy In charge of his herd reported a
strange discovery, which cleared away
the mystery. No. 4.819 waa lying at
the base of a precipitous embankment
In a thicket of underbrush, with Itt
sides distended. Its roof bulging, and
a confused mass of choice oranges at-
ed outlines. The car was lying on Its
side, dismounted from Its trucks, a
mass of mint, with Its contents pre
served by the crisp mountain air under
a cloudless sky.
The train In Its rapid descent at a
sharp curve had broken the flanges or
a set of wheels and the Ill-fated car
was derailed.
Upon Its discovery tbe cowboy, was
suitably rewarded, the train crew re
instated, a major portion of the cargo
was recovered, and the shippers reim
bursed. KINO OTTO.

A Lausanne correspondent writes
that the Swiss engineers have succeed

ures taken to save the village and val
ley from destruction were extremely
daring and original. They consisted In
building a huge cement wall to hold
up the mountain, whose sides were full
of small crevices, those also being filled
with cement., By these means the
mountain became firm and most of the
danger has passed. '
