DIED SIDE By SIDE.

A Pathetic Incident of Railroad Life.
IL have seen great many killed.
said an old soldier the other day. Il
have seen commanding officers torn
to pieces with a shell, and beardless
boys dead on the battlefield with
their mothers picture pressed to their
cold lips, but l never had anything
to affect me like the death of Il
couple Of young railroad men in
Texas seven or eight years ago. L
was riding on the engine Of fast
passenger train, and at Waco the en-
gneer got orders TO look out for a
brakeman who was missing from the
freight we were following. lie was
supposed TO have fallen between the
cars Of his train. My brother is
breaking on that train; / wonder il
it can be him?' said the fireman. III
keep up steam while you stand on
the pilot and watch out, replied the
engineer.
"The fireman took his post in
front and we pulled out. We had
just gotten we'll under way when the
fireman gave the signal TO stop. The
engineer applied the air-brakes.
They failed to respond, as we were
on a down grade and could not stop.
The missing brakeman was lying on
the track, badly mangled, but con-
scious. He raised his hands and
frantically signaled the train, but
the great iron machine went plung-
ing down upon him at the rate Of
twenty miles an hour. The fireman
cast one desperate look at the engi-
neer, then sprang in front Of the
pilot and hurled his wounded brother
off the track. But he was not quick
enough to save himself. The engine
caught him and crushed both legs of
at the hips. AS we picked him up he
said, with quiet smile: It's nc
use, boys; I'm done for. But / saved

a feeble hand and clasped that OF his
brother. 1--WE got my time. old fell

gether,' was the response, and hold
ing each other by the hand they died
together without another word"

MAKING PILLS.
rhey Are Manufactured In Large Cities
by the Thousands.

by the THOUSANDS.
IL pills can do il the people OF this
country should have no difficulty in
keeping well. About 500, 600, 900 are
manufactured every year in New
York. In this respect the metropolis
Is behind the sleepy town Of Phila-
delphia, which produces 500, 000,0 900
pills annually. Detroit turns out
about 100, 600, 900 in each twelve
month. To these must be aided,
for estimating the total production
Of the United States, 500, 900, 900
patent pills, mostly for the liver.
The modern processes employed in
pill-making are wonderful improve
ment on the primitive mortar and
pestle OF the apothecary. To begin
with, the crude drugs are put into
hoppers and ground up with steel
teeth, coming out in the shape OF
coarse powders. Next, they are
placed in mixing machines of which
there are several kinds. One is
combination OF roller, pestle and
scraper, which triturate the sub
stances into cylindrical box. Each
preparation compounded is examined
under strong magnifying glass, TO
determine whether the mixing is
sufficiently thorough. Finally the
mixtures are either pressed dry. into
pills or worked into q paste for
molding. Both methods are wonder
fully simple and rapid. For the dry
process the powders are poured into
tunnels, from which they are fed
automatically to dies Of different
shapes. The dies, run by machines,
compress the material into tablets,
button-shape, cylindrical, ETC., and
throw them out into dishes placed to
receive them. One little machine
will produce the finished pills and
lozenges in this way at the rate of
ninety a minute. For the wet proc
ess the paste mixtures are given in
bulk to young women, each Of whom
is provided with a strip Of gutta
percha pierced with holes, through
which she presses the mixture. The
pills then are soft and must be dried
in ovens. The process requires much
neatness and skill. All pills. are
gone over carefully before being put
up in bottles Of 100 and 1000 each.

Disaster on Puget sound.

The Canadian Navigation Company's
steamer Premier was run down and cut
nearly In two by the Oregon Improvement
Company's big steel collier Willamette In
Puget Sound, fifty miles north OF Seattle,
during a dense fog Saturday afternoon.
Four OF the Premier's passengers and
crew were killed outright one drowned
and seventeen badly wounded. The
Premier was impaled across the bows
OF the collier like piece OF toast across
fork. This kept the boat from sinking.
The Willamette steamed ahead, carrying
the wrecked steamer with her across the
sound TO Bush Point whero both were
beached in twenty four feet OF water.
Sunday two powerful tugs succeeded In
pulling the Willamette free from the
Premier The Premier then sank
in twenty-four feet OF water 1t will cost
$50, 900 to raise her. The steamship Pre-
mier was an old and we'll known boat OF
the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company.

Rebels Defeated In Dahomey with Terri

1t Is reported that a decisive battle has
been fought in Dahomcy in which the res
bellious natives were defeated and 1000 or
their warriors killed. The loss to the
French troops is given as eight killed and
thirty-six wounded. 1t is officially an
nounced that the Dahomeyans left 200
dead, among them twenty amazons, close
to the French line. The natives occupied
a strong position and a desperate fight fol-
lowed the attack by the French. thick
brush wood surrounded the Dahomeyans'
position and this afforded some protection
to the attacking forceS The battle lasted
for an hour, at the end OF which time
the Dahomeyans fed In disorder and
were pursued by the French The ma
tives, however, were thoroughly familiar
with the country and found little difficulty
In making their escape, but few or them
falling captives to their pursuers During
the fight five Europeans and three senegal
lese were killed and twenty three Euro
peans and thirteen natives wounded. Two
hundred repeating rifles were found on the
field This fact will add to the grievance
France has against Germany, for the
French claim that King BehanZin, tesides
the 9 900 rifles allowed him by treaty, has
an almost equal number OF Winchesters
and other repeating rifles that have been
furnished him by German traders. 1t Is
known that he has large supply OF am
munition and that II was landed in Daho-
mey from two German ships. AS result OF
this last battle Col. Dodds will be able 10
turn the Dahomeyans' position and destroy
their lines of defense.

materially from the appropriations
made by Congress for the current year

Should do what ought to be done to advance
