Two of M. Lawritson's children were

were on their way to the depot. Going

the children were thrown out , but fortu
nately without injury to either of them.

noon's passenger train met with an ac

gine. It was fortunate that the accident
occurred when the train was almost
stopped , as had it happened when going
at full speed a serious wreck would have
resulted. The train was delayed here
until an extra engine could be sent from
Orleans. Master Mechanic Archibald ,
of McCook , and a force of men repaired
the disabled machine , Saturday , suffi
ciently that it could be run to the shops.

CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle of
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL , A RUSH NIGHT
AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de
Cuba were all Heroes. Their Heroic
Efforts in Getting Ammunition to the
Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler , of pack-train No. 3 , writ
ing from Santiago De Cubaon , July 23d ,
says : "We all had diarrhoea in more or
less violent form , and when we landed
we had no time to see a doctor , for it
was a case of rush and rush night and
day to keep the troops supplied with am
munition and rations , but thanks to
Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy , we were able to keep at
work and keep our health ; in fact , I sin
cerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect savior of
our arniy , for if the packers had been un
able to work there would have been no
way of getting supplies to the front.
There were no roads that a wagon train
could use. My comrade and myself had
the good fortune to lay in a supply of
this medicine for our pack-train before
we left Tampa and I know in four cases
it absolutely saved life. "
The above letter was written to the
manufacturersof this medicine.theCham-
