Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
orally needed when the languid exhaus-
ted feeling prevails, when the liver is
torpid and sluggish and the need OF a
tonic and Alternative is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the system
from the mala,ial poison. Headache,
indigestion, Constipation, Dizziness
yield to Electric Bitters. SOC. and $l.09

victims Of Wednesday nights awful
Santa Fe disaster were found in the
debris by the wrecking crew yester-
day. The bodies are so badly mutilat-
ed that identification has been impos-
sible. These, with the death Of En-
gineer William Frisbee al Topeka,
make the total number killed in
the wreck is. Conductor Will
son, who is in charge of the
wrecking crew, expresses the be-
lief that several more bodies will be
found when the wreckage is cleared
away. One of the charred remains re-
covered is that of woman. 1t was
found early in the afternoon. There
was not enough OF the body to identify
except that it was a woman, as shown
by the bust and corsets A telegram
was received yesterday from Chicago,

had escaped the wreck uninjured. and
it is thought the remains may be those

WRECK AND FIRE.
Another Frightsul Collision, This
Time in Colorado.
NUMBER OF VICTIMS IN DOUBT.
At Least 80 Are Dead and Nearly 900 In
jured-Many Passengers are Consumed
by Flames After the Wreck
Conductor Under Arrest.

NEWCASTLE, Col, Sept. 1.-THE
worst wreck in the history Of the state
of Colorado occurred at 12:25 yester-
day morning on the joint track Of the
Denver & Rio Grande and the Colorado
Midland railways, IA miles west OF
here. After Il hours incessant work
by the wrecking crews in clearing
away the debris and rescuing the
bodies of those who persisted, it is yet
impossible to secure more than an es-
innate Of the loss of life, and not even
those known to be dead have BE- n
identified. Many OF the unfortunates
will never be known, and it is possible
that the number killed will always be
in doubt. From the best information
obtainab,e now fully 30 persons are be-
lieved to have persisted, while 1s5 who
came out of the wreck alive are suffer
ing from serious INJURIES.
The wreck was caused by a head-end
collision between a Denver d Rio
Grande passenger train, running at the
rate of 10 miles an hour, and special
Colorado Midland stock train, running
att speed of probably 30 miles an hour.
So terrific was the conclusion that
both engines, baggage and express
cars, smoker and day coaches and two
stock cars were totally demolished and
the track torn up for rods in each d.
rection. To add to the horror of the
scene, the wreckage at once caught
fire from an explosion of Pintsch gas
tank on the passenger train, and
burned so rapidly that many passen-
gers pinned beneath the debris, were
burned to death before help could
reach them.
The most generally accepted theory
as to the cause Of the wreck is that
Conductor Burbank, Of the Midland
special, anticipating the time Of the
passenger, undertook to steal a sta
ton" and beat the passenger into New
castle. Burbank escaped uninjured,
and, upon orders from Coroner Clark,
has been placed under arrest by the
sheriff. Midland Engineer Ostrander
is missing, and thorough search all
about his engine fails to reveal any
vestige of his remains. 1t is thought
that when he saw the threatened dan
ger he jumped from his engine, and,
realizing his negligence, took to the
hills.
Mr.. and Mrs. h. II. Strouse, who live
one.fourth of mile from the scene of
the accident, report that when the
two trains met the shock was so great
as to literally hurl them out OF bed.
Some say the noise was heard and the
shock felt in Newcastle. Charred
fragments of limbs and bodies of a
number of persons have been taken
out of the ruins, but it Is not likely
that any more bodies will be positively
identified, and it seems certain that
the number killed will remain in
doubt

Of purchasing new metal for the minor

put through the mill and the govern
