QUEER ACCIDENTS TO GUNS.

V i. tish battleship Thun
^'.S-rT?Tis off Milford Haven, Wales,
uot long ago a curious accident to
one of her guns caused much alarm
among her crew. A target had been
put out for practice with the ten-inch
breechloading guns. When one was
fired by electricity only a portion of
the projectile was discharged, the
base plate of the shot and a portion
of the frame being left in the gun.
When the plate was removed the pres
sure of gas forced a portion, of the
projectile from the breech of the gun
On the second gun being fired a hole
about three inches in diameter was
blown through the projectile, the
other part of the base plate being left
behind. The base plate was in this
case separated from the rest of the
projectile.
Such accidents arc believed never
previously to have occurred on hoard
any ship. There was much alarm
among those in the turret, as the
bursting of the guns was for a time
feared. It is suggested that either
the powder in the projectiles was
dam}) nr there was water in the guns.
So far as can be seen both guns are

Mn it imerliit.
Inter* st has been created at Carbon
dale, 111., over n discovery made by
Marshal Penrod, who lives on a farm
near Dongola. Recently Penrod
grubbed a black oak stump out of a po
tato field close to his residence and
found a stone about a foot long and
eight inches in diameter. The peculiar
shape of the stone, which resembled a
poeketbook, attracted his attention,
and. upon close examination, he found
carved on its face in the English lan
guage the following words: “This
stone contains the original manuscript
of Moroni (Mormon).—Joseph Smith."
The ravages of time had apparently
made but little headway on the stone
and upon closer examination he found
the stone was hollow and a hole drilled
entirely through it and at both ends
red cedar plugs had been driven in.
Upon removing one of the plugs several
sheets of parchment were found con
taining writing in hieroglyphics that
could not be deciphered.

( MISS ROSE OWENS,
No. 720 Seventeenth St., WASHINGTON, D. C.
H
“If every suffering woman
has the same experience with
Wine of Cardui that I had,
your medicine will be most
popular. About a year ago
I began to have a worn out
tired feeling with lassitude,
pains in the back and head
which kept increasing every
month. I felt that I needed
something, but to get the
right medicine was the trou
f finallv ArriA*A nn
I your Wine of Cardui and only needed to
I take three bottles when I was fully re
1 covered.”
f HEN Miss Rose Owens, who
has a responsible position in
I the Government service at
Washington, D. C., decided to
try Wine of Cardui, she made a wise
choice. Over a million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. It is not a
strong medicine but may be taken every
day m the year by any woman with
benefit. It does not force results, but
corrects derangements of the menstrual
organs. It strengthens the nervous
system, gives tone to the bodily func
tions, acts directly on the genital
organs, and is the finest tonic for wo
men known to the science of medicine.
mm HI i T |i II IIIIHI HillTtllll 1 l«f nif,|)--|r
If you are a suffering wo
man we would say to you
that Wine of Cardui seldom
fails to completely cure any
case of female ills. We say
emphatically, it never fails
to benefit. Every day hun
dreds of sufferers are writing
to our Ladies’ Advisory De
partment. The letters are
opened by persons compe
tent to give advice. Mrs.
Jones was cured by follow
ing the advice which was freely given
her by the Ladies’ Advisory Depart
ment. Miss Owens was cured without
advice by just buying a 81.00 bottle of
Wine of Cardui from her druggist and
taking this great medicine in the pri
vacy of her home. No doctor’s ex
amination, treatment or advice is nec
essary. You have read what these two
cured women have written. Is this not
enough to lead you to determine to be
rid or suffering V
August 13, 1900, Mrs. W. H. Jones,
of Cameron, Mo., writes:
“I suffered terribly at monthly periods
for three years. I would sometimes go for
seven months with no flow at ali. Now
I have my health back again and am
expecting to be confined in January. I
cannot praise your medicine enough.”
