75 DEAD, lOO INJURED.
Two Trains Crash. Together Near the
, City of Antwerp.
\ Antwerp, May 21.-Seventy-five
were killed and one hund cd. injured
seriously in a collision between a pas
senger and freight train at Contich,
a small town six miles southeast of
this city.
A mistake in signals was made and
the trains came together head-on.
Sixty injured are being taken care of
in hospitals in this city. Most of
them aro terribly hurt aird many will
die.
The wreckage caught fire and the
injured were rescued with great diffi
culty. -
A train filled with pilgrims had
been switched to a siding to permit
.the Antwerp express to pass. By
some mistake the switch was not
closed. The express, running at 50
miles an hour, took the switch with
out jumping the track and plowed
into the rear of the pilgrim train.
Every car of the train on the siding
was telescoped, the engine leaping
through the wreckage and crushing
the pilgrims to death.
The ears were smashed to splinters
and the passengers were eaugnt In
the debris.
Peasants quickly gathered, but
were so horrified they could not take
the injured from the wreckage.
Many of them had to remain where
they were until the timber was chop
ped away. Inability to render sur
gical aid In many cases was appar
ent. In one coach every occupant
was killed. Several bodies were
taken out and laid in a row. Seve
ral others died shortly after being
rescued.
For a mild, easy action of the
bowels, a single dose of Doan's Reg
uletB 1B enough. Treatment cures
habitual constipation. 25 cents a
box. Ask your druggist for them.

Lawrenceville, Ga., May 20.
Webster Dollar was found dead in
Sugar Hill District Saturday after
noon, and the coroner was notified.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the dis
ease. Catarrh is a blood or constltn

P. Merrill, head of the Department of
Geology of the United States Na

Butte, Arizona, to be present at a

cause of which has been a puzzle to
geologists ever since it was brought
to their attention, lt is a depression
in the desert nearly thiee-Quarters
of a mlle aoross and about 600 feet

others to be the record of the Im

The Cost of a Hen.
(W. J. Lampton, in N. Y. World.)
How much it costs to keep a hen,
In dollars and in cents,
I do not know, but otherwise
lt simply lo immense.
She's such a busy, active thing
And wrecks more garden soil
In half an hour than one can fix
In days and days of toil.
She doesn't Reem to bother much
About her mortal needs
Until the flower beds are done,
And then she swipes the seeds.
She's neighborly as she can be,
And wheu her larder's poor,
She climbs the high dividing fence
And helps herself next door.
She roams around tho livelong day,
As cheerful as can be,
And plays the very dickens with
All growing property.
She seems to think she has a right
To every little bit
That she can see, and what she can't
She goes and digs for lt.
Oh, say
What does a hen cost every year?
To calculate is vain,
For figures cannot measure half
Her owner's mental Btrain.
