train had been made up and they were
on their way to Salida- Consequently
they paid 40 attention to the rapid way
the a an. The truth was that the
coupling pin connecting 1t with the car
ahead of 1t snapped as the freight train
gave a sudden jerk forward, and start
ed to roll down the track. as there is
a gentle grade FOR many miles north
Of Castle Rock.
The men all unconscious Of their per-
ilaus condition. chatted and laughed
with each other. Vol realizing that each
minute carried them nearer and nearer
to a special train coming in the opposite
direction on the same track. 1t was
net until after the crash came. and
those that escaped injury crawled out
Of the wrecked car. and sized up the
situation, that they realized the true
condition of affairs.
While the runaway car was rushing
down the track, and during the ex-
citing scenes following after the COL
lision, the freight train to which the
car belonged vas tearing down the
track at a terrific rate in hopes of
catching up with the car, and coupling
on to it before it jumped the track, or
smashed into some train. M. Murphy
Of Denver, was in charge Of the gang,
and when the al broke away was on
the forward end of the train. The car
had not gone more than two miles be-
fore Mr.. Murphy missed it. He sur
missed at once what had happened.
The signal to back up was given and
the chase Of the runaway car COM
menced. The latter had too much
start on the train to be cvertaken in
two miles, and won the race, colliding
with the southbound train before the
other freight could catch 1t. The north
bound train was gradually gaining up
on the car. and another collision was
only averted by the prompt application
of the brakes. The crash was heard
and the engineer slowed up and came
to a standstil not far from the wreck.

Of THE RAIL-.
A BIG TICKET SENSATION HAS
BEEN DEVELOPED OUT
IN UTAH.
1t Is Claimed That Tickets to the Face
Value of SIC, 900 Have Been Stolen
A Chicago Story About Mr.. Mel
len for President OF the Union Pa
ciic-Railroad Notes.

A big sensation developed in railroad
circles yesterday. Tho utmost secrecy
was observed by the officials interested
in the matter and it was with the great
est difficulty hat any facts were OBJ
tained.
The Oregon Short Line has been rob-
bed of coupon tickets whose face value
at existing rates is said to be 500 DOC
1.-THE exaggerated claim is put for
ward that the face value of the tickets
will amount to $50, 900, as some of them
we're coupons reading to far eastern
cities with return coupons attached.
The prevalent is to the eff
feet that a block Of about 200 tickets is
missing.
The greatest mystery surrounds the
affair. The tickets are missing from the
office at Brigham city, and the loss was
not known until yesterday, when the
brokers in Denver began to handle new
f1rst-class tickets with long limits and
in some cases NJ limit at all. These
tickets were from Denver to eastern
cities. and the regular agents getting
wind of the affair wired this city for in
structions.
The affair caused an upheaval in To-
cal railroad circles. for the Short Line
is by no means the only loser. Among
the stolen stock are coupons reading
over the Rio Grande Western, Denver
and Rio Grande, Missouri Pacific, Union
Pacific. Burlington, Rock Island and
st. Paul systems. The tickets are tho
regular Oregon Short Line issue, and
are good to Denver. while coupons
from there eastward are divided be-
tween the Omaha, Kansas City and
Chicago roads. and that is why the
tickets have been placed on the Den
yer market.
1t was at first said that the robbery
occurred Wednesday night, but this is
not probable, as the tickets could not
have reached Denver yesterday. The
accepted opinion is that the stock was
gotten away with as early as Monday,
and that the thief at once took the train
for Denver. There is no clue to the per-
petrator of the deed nor does the finger
Of suspicion point at any one. The o
thorough investigation is going on.
however, among the railroad officials,
and an united effort is being made to
stop the sale OF or secure the stolen
tickets.
One railroad man stated last evening
that even if the face value of the tickets
did amount to $50, 900. it would not
mean that heavy a loss to the railroads,
as the ticket forms could be changed
and other precautions adopted before
all the stolen tickets could possibly be
used.
1t was stated that some of the tickets
had appeared in Salt Lake, but careful
inquiry failed to unearth any, and the
s]upposition is that all the stolen stock
has been taken east. By whom ano
when taken was, up to a late hour last
night, one Of the deepest mysteries the
railroad men have had to face in a long
time.-Salt Lake Tribune.

London, Dec. 2O.-The correspondent

the German occupation of Kiao-Chau."

Thy RUSSIA cannot fail to provoke pop

According to the dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Shanghai the high Of

The dispatch says it is reported there
that O~vertures nave been made to Eng

that numerous rumors are current re-

says:
Instead of the kaiser's mailed fist.

amount insured for at once, and
the balance at death, This order
receives women and men on equal
terms, thereby providing for the
children from both sides of the

TWO PICTURES.

There are two classes Of BOYS
around us today
The first class is very numerous in
this day and age in our towns and
cities Their hands are soft; their
heart etleminate, They think them
selves above manual labor. They
loaf around stores, smoke cigarettes
play cards and read dime novels.
They are truants at school and a
source of perpetual annoyance to
the teachers.
Ihey have natural aversion to
labor, either physical or mental,
and expect to live by their wits or
enjoy the fruit of their fathers ear
nlngs when the "old man" is dead.
they expect to be gentlemen of the
next generation of men and lead a
gay lite, free from drudgery,
From this class of boys will come
our future drunkards, CANDLES, lib
ertlnes and criminals of every de-
scription
They will supply the penitentiaries
with conyicts, the gallows with VIC
Tins.
The other class of boys are found
for the most part in humble homes,
Their hands are horny their faces
are bron2ed their clothes are patch
ed; they have no time to loaf,
They recognize the tact that they
have to fight the battle of life alone
and that time is too precious to
waste in idleness,
From this class of boys will come
our true orators, poets, iurists,
statemen and diynes, They will
roll the wheel Of commerce, guide
the ship Of state, add new trophies
to the conquests Of science and
push on our high christian civili2a-
tion, when our poor stammering
tongues lie silent IN the grave"
Boy to which class do You be-
long2 Are you drones2 Remem-
Der that labor Is the only road TO
success in life, Then roll up your
sleeves and pitch ink.

VhU LOqiC Of EuenfS

Last year the demo-popos claimed
and many believed, that there was not
money enough in the country to do
business. 1t will certainly be conce-
ded that there is more business now
than then, but the talk of"not enough
money" has faded away into the mid
die of the week. The theory that the
volume of money makes business was
a catchy one, but it failed to hold when
the test came The republicans con-
tended that the country was suffering
from lack of business, and the fact
is now so apparent and plain that a
wayfaring man, though populist,can
read.
Kansas farmers have millions Of
bushels of wheat to sell. There is
plenty of money to buy it. Eastern
factories are turning out big Quanti-
ties of goods. The people have the
money to buy. While actual amount
of currency is but little in excess of
what it was year ago, there Is now
an abundance where then there seemed
to be a scarcity.
The question now comes to every
voter who casts his ballot for Mr.. Bry-
an. will you allow yourself to be hum
bugged again? Last year you honest
" believed that gold standard meant
low prices. Now you see your mistake.
will you obstinately refuse tOacknowl-
