Engineer Smith and Fireman Smiley, Brakeman Miller and an unknown man riding between the cars. It is thought others are buried in the wreck, but it is impossible to tell, as the wreck will not be cleared before evening. Two brakemen were seri- ously injured Two passengers in the caboose were slightly injured. The names of the latter could not be learned, but it was reported this morning that they were stockmen from Minneapolis attending the fair in this city. Engineers Warren and Smith and Fireman Smiley and Brake man Miller were residents of this city.
 It is not known where the blame lies, but it is rumored both trains were given the right of way. A wreck ing crew went to the scene from here. Warren's was the first body taken out. One leg was completely severed from the body and there was bad cut

three days observation of a trio of elderly
women who were travelling together in
August across the Great Lakes, and of one
travelling singly on tourist ticket and, as
/ supposed, bound for the sights of Alaska.
What an amount Of courage it had taken
to stiifen her soul for such trip! Yet
there she was, looking with an alert,
mouselike curiosity at the travelling world
of which she was a too conscious atom.
Dear old thing! My heart was touched
by her self conscious and uncomfortable
timidity. | looked from her to the three
merry, self appreciative travelling COM
panions, and wondered at once why all
elderly women did not form themselves in
to clubs and go travelling These three,
each of them blackgowned and gray haired
with fine and cheerful faces, exercised
themselves up and down the long deck of
the beautiful Northland, or sat together at
a round table in the dining room and
ordered delicate la carte dinners in trio,
or tucked each other up in the steamer
chairs, heartily thanking the stalking
males who picked up their balls OF worsted
or fallen books or flying newspapers, and
adding to the general atmosphere of
festvity by having good time themselves

W0MAN'S SUFFRAGE

\ western correspondent of Il New York
daily gives the views Of woman who
has tried voting. She does not take
kindly to it, as shown by her opinion of
the matter:
"The great advantage of suffrage is that
it teaches women that they are not one bit
better than men. We've sat up for years
and told men how corrupt their politics
were, ard men have smiled up at us and
told us how superior we are and how we
should have suffrage We've had large
and enthusiastic surprise party; we women
have found ont that our politics are just as
corrupt as mems politics, and they're just
a little trickier We've been at it two
years, and we're scheming and making
combinations and doing all the very things
we've been finding fault with the men for
doing all these years The women of the
better classes are getting disguised and
drawing out of politics just as our men
have done, and the women of the other
classes have become enthusiastic and have
gone into politics just rs their mankind
have. Suffrage has certainly one great al
vantage. 1t has taken the conceit out of
women.

How many young men and young wo-
men are cut oil just as the future seems
brightest and fullest of promise. They are
taken away by the disease which causes
over one-siXth of all the deaths in the
world--the disease which doctors call con-
sumption. There is absolutely no reason
in the world why consumption should be
fatal-why ii should he even serious. 1t is
a disease of the blood. and can be cured
absolutely and always by purifying and
enriching the blood. The only exception
to this is the case where the disease has
been neglected and improperly treated
until it is stronger than the body-until
the body has become so weak as TO have

The Hill of Death,

The Smithsonian Institution scisn-
fists say that the most remarkable
prehistoric monument in the south
western states-maybe in all the coun-
try-is a black barren butte on the
lower ella river, some fifty miles east
of Yuma. 1t is not wonderful from
any architectural standpoint. There
are no marvellous hieroglyphics nor
immense pieces Of engineering work
which battle the minds of modern scien
lists. 1t is but a plain, bald, rocky
point, uglier and palmer for it's sharp
contrast against the clear blue sky.
But it is wonderful-because upon its
aerial heights, which look down over
the green vegas and rolling potreros,
are the white and bleaching bones OF
a band of people who fought the last
fight for existence. No enc knows
when this battle was given nor who
were the besiegers of the besieged.
There are evidences of mighty con-
flict, and the little mesa which tops
the mountain bears witness to the fear
fulness of the struggle by its carpet OF
human bones. This point, which is
known locally as La Iona de Muerte,
or the Hill of Death, is a prominent
landmark throughout this whole re-
gion. 1t is Stunned by the Indians
and superstitious Mexicans as we'll.
The main highway from Tucson to
Yuma leads by the base of this hill,
and pious Catholics who have occa-
sion to pass along the route invariably
cast rock upon the pile, which has
thus accumulated into a considerable
mound. Not very costly shrine, bur
built with sincere hands.

ADAMS HEIGHT.
Figures Seem to Show That 1t Was
Sixty-Five Feet.

Figures Seem to Show That 1t Was
Sixty-Five Feet.
At various times within the last few
years assertions have been made by
many thinkers that Adam and the ante
diluvian people were of extraordinary
height, but many other thinkers (who
have never thought much about the
matter) have laughed at the assertion
and cried "bosh," says an exchange.
I, too, am of the opinion that there was
something more about Adam that was
extraordinary besides the number OF
his years. To prove the same by a
course of mathematical reasoning we
will take Noah, whose life was twenty
years longer than Adams and who is
quite as well known for his generosity
to the human and animal races. Ac-
cording to Genesis Noah lived $50 years
and then died. 1t is well-defined
rule in nature that animals, bipeds and
quadrupeds live about three and one
half times the number of years required
for their individual maturity. Thus
man in this century natures in 20 and
dies at the age of 20 years Dividing
the age of Noah by three and one-half,
we find that he reached his maturity
in about 270 years. The average man
of to-day at maturity measures about
five feet and weighs about 125 pounds.
Five feet in twenty years is equivalent
to three inches in one year. Applying
the same rule to Noah's maturing
years, we find that at his maturity he
was sixty-seven feet tall and weighed
1916 pounds. 1t stands to reason that
if Noah was so great in body that the
originator of the race must have been
equally as large.
