ONE DEAD, MANY INJURED. Two Knnaiin CltrStroot Cum Collided on tho Twolfth Street Incline Mur ine Koir. Kansas City, Nov. 5. One person was killed and 19 others injured, four perhaps fatally, in a collision of two cable cars in a fog on tho Twelfth street incline, near the Union depot, at eight o'clock Wednesday morning. Tho dead' is Miss Nellie M. Luscombe, a clerk at John Taylor's. Most of tho injured were working girls, clerks In the big retail stores up town, who were on their way to work from their homes in Argentine, Ar mourdalo and Wyandotte, Kan. The accident was duo to slippery tracks. One train heavily laden with passen gers had reached Summit street, four oiocks east of the top of tho Twelfth .street viaduct, a structure four blocks in length that spans tho railway tracks m tne union depot yards. For the en tire distance of eight blocks there is a sheer descent of about 30 degrees. At Summit street the first car had stopped to let off a passenger when the grlpman lost his grip on the cable. Imme diately the train started back, gaining great speed. A heavy fog made it im possible to see a block ahead and in describable confusion ensued among the passengers, dozens of whom were too closely packed inside tho closed car to make a move to save themselves.

Gentlemen Last summer I caught a cold which seemed to set tle in my kidneys and affected them badly, I tried a couple of kid' ney remedies largely advertised, but they did not help me any. One of my foremen told me of the great help he had received in using Pcruna in a similar case, and I at once procured some. "It was indeed a blessing to me, as I am on my feet a large part of the day, and trouble such as I had affected me seriously, but four bottles of Pcruna cured me entirely and I would not be without it for three months salary." JOHN T. SHEAHAN. Mr. Jacob Flolir writes frnm 4.1 Sum ncr avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y.: ' ' am now a new man at the age of seventy-five years, thantis to your wonderful remedy Peruna." '""Jacob Flelg. Catarrhal inflammation of the mucous lining of tho kidneys, also called "liright's disease," may be either aciuto or chronic. The acute form produces symptoms of such prominence that tho serious nature of tho dlseaso is atonco suspected, but tho chronic variety may como on so gradually and insidiously that its presenco is not suspected until after it has fastened itself thoroughly upon its victims. At tho appearance of the first symp tom Puruua should bo taken. This remedy strikes at oncu at tho very root of tho disease. A book on catarrh sent frfao by Tho Peruna Medicino Co., Columbus, 0.
