Two Trains Collide at American Falls in
idaho.


Two Trains Collide at American Falls in
A 4:30 yesterday morning serious
collision occurred at American Falls,
Idaho, % miles this side of Pocatella,
between passenger train, No. l and
freight No. %. The passenger was
waiting at the station for the freight
to arrive from tho west and take the
siding, out when No. 2, which was
heavily loaded with lumber, reached
the top of the grade approaching Amer
lean Falls the breaks failed to work,
and the train soon got from unoer con-
troll of the engineer, and came down
the hill at speed of about 60 miles an
hour. The engineer of No. started
to back his train but could not get up
motion before the runaway train
dashed into him, throwing the passen-
ger off the track and crashed into the
depot.
A passenger on No. l., becoming
frightened, jumped on the platform at
the depot, and was instantly killed
The other passengers, though badly
shaken, were not seriously ipjcred.
Eight or ten hobos, riding on the
break beams, were killed and the en-
gineer and fireman had their legs |
broken. The telegraph operator at
the station was also seriously injured |
by the engine of the freight crashing
into the station.
The freight train was badly wrecked,
but the passenger sustained no damages
except to the engine and tender.

ED. TINES -MoUNTAINEER:
This platform fraud of the republican
party is so thoroughly dead that resus'
citation At Il cost of 800, 900 has not in
fused life enough to elicit one respect
able kick
The three respectable gentlemen
who are to dispose of the appropria-
ton will no doubt have grand, good
time, spending it travelling around,
hobnobbing with many kings, and
other forms of royalty. But as to as
sembling an international congress,
much less fixing bimeta ism as the
basis Of the worlds currency, there is
no hope, even among the most SAN
guine supporters of the administration
that are Dimetalists.
So far as the future is concerned, the
appropriation is q waste even to the
republican party; and for the people
in general, swiadie and fraud.
At the time the platform was adopt
ed. however, it vas =. necessity, for
then, as today, a great majority CT the
voters were bimetaiists. There were
thousands of republicans so thoroughly
imoued with the idea of bimetalism
that no cracking of the party whip |
would have driven them into line.
True. it needed no keen sight to de-
5ect the fraud, but the hoodwink of |
party is no gauzy affair, as witness, the
greatest Roman of them all declared |
n January of '96 ''That you might as
veil expect to ride on railroad train
o the planet Mars as to expect to re-
labilitate silver by international
greement." Yet from September to
he election, in season and out of
eason, he proclaimed the opposite.
Mckinley and the republican con-
ress, while allied to the single stand
rd, and bound hand and foot by the
old kings, to keep up appearances,
ave thrown out the bait of 500, 900 to
ppease the wrath of deceived bimetal-
ITS. Will 1t succeed? Will they be
ppeased? ZENo.

A sherman County sensation.

A supposed plot to sell a dwelling to
an insurance company has developed
at DeMoss Springs in Sherman county,
that causes no small excitement in
that section. A Mr.. Cealey owns a
farm near DeMoss Springs that is
rented to couple of elderly people,
and according to report there is an in.
sdrance of S700. Mr.. Cealey lives some
where in Washington, but was in Sher-
man county last week looking after his
property. On Wednesday the tenants
were absent from home, returning
after dark. During the night they
were awakened by choking sensation,
and discovered fumes of phosphorus
the house. It is supposed that Cealey
had spread phosphorus about the house
with the expectation that it would
ignite and burn the building. He left
on Wednesday evenings train for Pen
dleton, and an officer with a warrant
was sent after him. What foundation
there is for supposing Cealey attempted
to fire the house, has not been made
public, but it is hoped he will be able
to clear himself of the charge.

Loving Remembrance.

We, the members of J. w. Nesmith
Woman's Relief Corps, No. II, desire
to express our sympathy TO the be-
reaved, and our loss of member, in
the passing beyond of Jennie Russell
Rufeno. Reared and nurtured in the
principles of our order, she was ever
interested and ready at any time to
aid in carrying on the work, and now
on the approach of our memorial SER
vices, we are saddened at the thought
of her absence from US, but as she so
beautifully said two years ago, while
gathered around the monument,
"Cover them over with beautiful
flowers" we take it as privilege to
visit her resting place, and call back
to memory her words so full of tender
ness and emotion.
Rest in peace, dear Jennie, and Me-
mortal Day will always find our willing
hands ever ready to cover the dear
spot with "beautiful flowers"

When the Regulator arrived here

OF the wharf boat, one of the posts to
which the wharf boat was fastened
gave way, letting the cad of the boat

ashore, experiencing no inconvenience
except getting thoroughly soaked with
