Two Cars Jump the Track.
A piece of defective grade exists on the
west side of kickapoo creek approaching
the bridge, which spans chasm fifteen
feet deep. The train was long one and
passed over the dangerous spot safely
until two ears and the caboose jumped
the track and fell into the creek. The
momentum was so great that the cars were
jammed together into a shapeless mass,
while a wall assembled from a dozen pas
sengers for assistance.
Cause of the Disaster.
The engineer discovered the trouble and
backed down to the wreck and assisted by
farmers riding on the forward part of the
train rescued the injured. The cause of
the wreck was II washout which was re-
Gently filled with loose dirt. The rains of

track sank and an upturned rail near the
bridge struck one of the car trucks.

Having Trouble About Silver.

PUEBLO, Colo, Sept. l3.-Democrats of
Colorado are having a lively faciional fight
at the state convention here. but thus far
the fusionists are in control. Z. j. O'Don-
nell, of Denver, was made chairman.
O'Donnell represents the faction led by
Thomas NJ. Patterson, the editor of the
Denver Daily News, and which bases the
entire campaign on the subject of silver,
ignoring all other issues, and therefore
supports Weaver because his party favors
free silver coinage. The committees on
credentials, resolutions and order of BUSH
ness were appointed in which this same
element was in control. When the report
was made on credentials giving the flu
sionists seats the regulars, $50 strong,
walked ont. The fusionists then proceed
ed to indorse the Weaver electors.

The Judge States His Opinion.
Counsel for Peck asked for time to show
that the papers are private and that a
public officer cannot be forced into per-
hitting the public TO such papers.
The suit was not begun until Saturday
last and it had been impo ssible to prepare
the necessary data in that brief time.
Judge Fursman said: ~ do not believe
that any papers in public office are pri-
vate. A public officer has no right to leave
private papers in his office, but 1 think
The time is short and the officer should
have a reasonable time to answer or pre-
pare to answer"
Peek Has Created Turmoil.
Chase asked that the delay be short, as
it was essential that the truth or falsity of
the figures be proved. "This official, said
Chase, "has made grave political issues,
and we shall be in turmoil until it is de-
cided" Judge FUrsman set the case down
for the 27th inst, at a speciel term in AL

A COWARDLY ATTACK.
q God Girls Assailed and Housewives
Deceived by False Accusations.

DeceINcu Dy ahsC hN sAS1sAS-,''
Every true woman will resent the
wicked and malicious attacks that are
being made by interested parties through
the columns of the press upon the young
women whose work it is to go from
house to house testing and Analysing
baking powders.
These articles stating that the "bsking
powder girls" have been arrested; that
they are likely to get into more serious
trouble; that the powder they represent
is impure and that they run up against
the law are false in every particular and
Simply a lie made out of the whole
cloth"
From my own knowledge I know that
the young women have been carrying on
this work for many years No one has
ever been arrested or interfered with in
any way nor could she be. They simply
show housewives how to test and find out
for themselves whether their baking pow
DIR is pure or not. This is their work.
OF course housewives are surprised to
fiui that a baking powder that has been
advertised for years to be absolutely
pure is adulterated with ammonia. but
they appreciate the work these young
Isdies have done and are doin g in expos
ing the fraud.
