A TERRIBLE WRECK
On the 0 L. s W. Railroad at TippocanOo
Yesterday Morning.

1esteruhy mOrnlnks
Tippecanoe station. on the O., L. I
W. Railway, about forty miles north Q
the river, was the scene Of a frightfu
and destructive collision between
freight and mail train yesterday morn
ing, which resulted in fatally injurlnl
several passengers.
Mail train No. l, south bound, In
charge OF Engineer McClelland and Don,
ductor John Streater, came into Tippe.
canoe on time, and IVES standing at the
station, when, withouta moments warn.
ing, freight train No. 80, in charge Of
Engineer Frank Dual, Jr., and Conduc.
tor Frank Mead came dashing round a
short curve which shuts off ali view OF
the station, and crashed into the express
train.
There wes terrible noise when the
two large engines came together, and
within ten seconds the destruction OF
thousands Of dollars worth of property
had been accomplished. The locomo.
tlves telescoped their tanks and left the
track, while the passenger aud mail and
express cars iammed together, breaking
the ends in and smashing them consid.
erably, besides derailtng every wheel
aud breaking trucks and iron work,
The freight cars broke up and telc.
scoped, piliug themselves into all
kinds OF mssses Of broken iron and
spllntered timber. The engineer Of the
freight train blew a danger signal the
instant he saw the mail train, and re.
versipg his engine, he aud the fireman
jumped and were followed by the bal.
ance OF the crew, all Of them getting of
without sustaining any injuries,
The mail train crew, after seeing the
freight train, had Just time to get away
from the train before the crash came.
There were a number OF passengers in
the cars, and all Of them were severely
shaken up, and more or less bruised and
scratched.
Six OF them were even more uniortu.
nate, however, and received injuries
that will, 1t Is thought, prove fatal. The
names OF the injured and the exact ex.
tent Of their injuries could not be
learned.
They were taken to Urichsyille, and
are there under medical care. Inquiry
among railroad men as 10 the cause Of
the accident brought the old, old story
-"mtsread my watch"
The freight train had orders TO meet
No. l at Saltwater, a small station north
OF Tippecanoe, and when the conductor
looked at his watch he read the dial ss
l0:40, thinking they had plenty OF time
to make Saltwater as soon as No. l. He
thought no more OF the time until four
minutes later, when they crashed into the
mail train. Then he discovered that his
watch said ll:40 instead OF l0:4O.
Coaches were run to the scene OF the
wreck from Uhfichsville. and the pas.
fengers transferred and brought to
Bridgeport four hours late.
Atseven o'clock last evening but little
had been done toward clearing the
tracks, and it ia probable that no train
will be run through before late to-day.

can be attached to the management. 1t

That bees may be tanned seems incredible,
but to See Prof. Bristow working afrioiig his
bees, picking them up and examining them,
as though they were so much corn, with NO
protection whatever, would lead one to bes
lieve that it could be done.
There seems to be prejudice as to intro.
ducing Italian queens. But it is an estab-
lished fact that they have longer tongues
and can gather honey where other bees cam
not. that they are more industrious,
working earlier and later, are Il better
guard against robbers and more prolific than
the common black bee, not to mention the
fact that they are more amiable.
To get the best results from bees they
should have pasture provided for them but
they will do very well in this country with
the natural facilities
All lovers of honey should not faal to-
keep bees, if they have sufficient space.
They tire ttot to be compared with raising
chickens, being of less trouble in every re:
spect.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a,umbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless this Inflammation can be taken out
andthis tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh. which is
nothing but an nfame1 condition of the
mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh)
that we cannot cure by taking Halls Ca
tarrh Cure. Send for circulars.

CONTRACTOR J. S. ANToNELLE.-
Mr.. J. S. Antonelle, the railroad con-

has just returned from a trip to Mexico.
He says there is some extensive rail
road work being done there, and he
made a neat little fortune in selling
out contract he had there. Mr.. An
tonelle said he was going to Corvallis
before he returned to see M ,nager
VIM. M. Hoag, Of the Oregon Pacific.
He said he had warm feeling for Mr..
Hoag, and hoped to see the work on
the road resumed at an early day. In
fact he.said he would not object to
taking another contract on the road

Protect Your Health.

Gold and moisture combined have a tor
porizing effect upon the bodily organs, and
the digestive and secretive processes are apt
to be more tardily performed in winter than
in the fall. The same is true, also of the
excretory functions. The bowels are often
sluggish, and the pores of the skin throw
off but little waste matter at this season.
The system, tn erefore. requires opening up
little, and also purifying and regulating,
and the safest, surest and most thorough
tonic and Alternative that can be used for
these purposes is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. Persons who wish to escape the rheu-
matte twinges, the dyspeptic agonies, the
painful disturbances of the bowels, the bill
ious attacks, and the nervous visitations, so
common at this time of the year, will do
we'll to reinforce their systems with this re-
nowned vegetable stomachic and invigorant.
1t improves the appetite, strengthens the
stomach, cheers the spirits, and renovates
the whole physique.

THE GRAND JURY'S REPORT.
To Hon. M. L. Pipes.

To Hon. M. L. Pipes.
We the Grand Jury of Benton coun-
ty, submit this, our final report: We
have diligently inquired into all crimes
before us for investigation, and have
returned indictments where required
by law. We suggest that a greal deal
of needless expense would be saved if
in all cases a proper sense of public
duty actuated private prosecutors and
magistrates. Complaints of crime are
filed before local magistrates in mat
ters that should be settled by civil suit
and at the expense of parties. Per-
sons are bound over on frivolous
charges, without evidence frequently,
and, in some cases, when the justice of
the peace had full jurisdiction to try
and determine the cause. We have
examined all Offices pertaining to
courts of justice and find the public
records systematically and convent
emily arranged and kept. AS all prev
ious grand juries have done from time
out OF mind, we call attention to the
place, or unwholesome dungeon,
where persons awaiting trial, under
the presumption of innocence, if too
poor or friendless to give bail, are
confined, and we in emphatic terms
denounce it as a blot upon the admin
istration ofjustice, and protest earn
estly against a longer continuation of
this nuisance under the very shadows
of the courts of justice. By judic-
ious expenditure of very reasonable
sum, the present needs of the county
can be easily supplied in this direc-
ton. When a small man with a Is
Id. shackle attached to his ankle can
walk through the end of a Jail,
without forcing the lock, and make
good his escape, i: suggests that even
the eye Of Providence has at last been
attracted to the Benton county Jail
and looks with disfavor upon the
structure. Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT MATTHEW,
Foreman of Grand Jury.
