the track was covered by dirt
washed from the hillside, says
the Calico Rock Progress. Near
Handford about one hundred
feet of the dump had been swept j
from under the ties and rails
into the river, leaving the steel
suspended in air for the distance
named. This section of the rail
road is under a high bluff and
the accumulation of water flow
ing down from the bluff, be-1
tween it and the track, softened
the earthwork and forced it
from under the ties and rails.
It will require at least one hun
dred cars of rock to repair that
part of the track.

catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the
disease and giving the patient
strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hun

fails to cure. Send for list of
