There is more Catarrh in this section or
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be ncurable.. For great many
years doctors pronounced 1t local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con.
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by +. j.
Cheney 4 Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to q
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-
monials. Address f. j. Cheney & Co., To-

Salt Lake-Los Angeles Line.

Chicago, Dec. 3O.-The Record says:
Another railroad to the Pacific coast is
strong possibility. Several eastern
capitalists and promoters have been in
this city for two or three days, and it
is said that they are considering plans
for the construction of such n line.
Among them is Warner Miller, and he
has admitted that his business in Chi
cago at this time is in connection with
traffic matters and new western road.
1t is said that line from Salt Lake
to Los Angeles, California, is in mind,
and that the building of it has practic-
ally been decided upon. The plan is to
construct almost direct to the Callfor-
mia city, traversing the most fertile and
encouraging portion of western Utah
and the southcrmost part of Nevada
1t is said that among the capitalists
interested are men prominently con
nected with western and southern rail
ways.

nIr Steamer on The Rocks.

London, Dec. 31.-An outward bound
steamer, believed to be Hamburg
American liner, is reported to have
struck on the sands on the east side of
Dungeness, on her way down the chan
mel.
She went on in heavy gale, which
still continues. Her position is report
ed perilous, and unless the gale abates,
grave loss of life may occur before as
sistance can reach her. There is stat
ed to be large number of passengers
on board The assistance of tugs and
lifebonts is urgently requisitioned
from Folkestone and Dover.
The harbor master at Dover, with
great difficulty, owing to the violence
of the gale. got his tugs out. The
crews of the Folkestone and Dover life
stations have been summoned. but ow-
ing to the strength of the gale, 1t is
feared that the tugs will not be able
to leave before . o'clock this morning.
1t is impossible to ascertain the name
of the vessel.

Denver, Dec. 29.-A rear end collision
on the Union Pacific railroad at Bright
on at $50 o'clock this morning caused
one death and injuries to sixteen pe0-
pie.
Winfield Randleman, express mes
senger, was burned 10 death.
William Law. brakeman on the Boul-
der Valley line of the Union Pacific,
who was coupling cars, had his leg cut
off. Sixteen persons were injured, one
of whom may die.
AT a speed OF fifty miles an hour
Cheyenne bound train No. 3 of the
Union Pacific crashed into the accom-
mediation passenger and freight train
on the main track at Brighton. The
accident was the result of Il direct vio-
lation of orders. The baggage and e1-
press cars of the Cheyenne train were
entirely destroyed by fire, Winfield
Randleman, the express messenger, be-
ing caught in his ear and in sight Of
rescuers, burned to death. Coroner
Rollins has taken the remains, charred
to an unacceptable mass and minus
both legs.
Nearly all the United States mail was
destroyed. The express car and its con-
tents, even 10 the fowl that was being
expressed north, was consumed. 1t
was only after an hours work by the
Brighton fire department that the
flames permitted the iiremen to drag
out the remains of Randleman.
There were miraculous escapes. En-
gineer John Nally and Fireman Peter
son, on the locomotive of the Cheyenne
train, had no time to jump when the
pilot of their locomotive struck the
train in front and they were thrown to
the floor of the cab while the great en-
gine leaped, tearing its way through the
chair car in front and the freight cars
beyond. When the locomotive cleared
itself beyond bruises its crew was un-
injured.
The blame of the accident falls on

SITUATION AT THE ruoELA.

May Attack.


May Attack.
London, Dec. 30.-The latest special
dispatch from Chieveley Camp hints
darkly at some important movement
as imminent. This is interpreted with
some misgivings. to mean that General
Butler contemplates II renewal of his
attempt to relieve Ladysmith.
1t is reported by the same dispatches
that the Beers have now retired to the
north bank of the Tugela, being afraid
that the swollen river may bar their
retreat They are also moving their
laagcrs nearer Ladysmith, probably
with the intention of putting further
pressure on the garrison, which now
seems to be suffering pretty heavily
from bombardment.
1t is difficult, however. to conceive
that General Butler would make an
other frontal attack. especially now
that the river is rising, and an addi-
tional indication that this is not his
purpose is the fact that he has re-
moved his headquarters back to Frere.
The Boer movement northward from
the Tugela is quite in keeping with the
cnemy's usual plan of securing safe
line of retreat.
1t is known that further artillery is
due to arrive for General Butler, but
the belief here is that his forces, even
then, will be too weak. He may, how
ever, be animated by desire to ac-
complish something before the arrival
of Lord Roberts and TO satisfy the
keenness of his men to retrieve their
defeat.
The reported engagement with kaf-
frs Is very vague. and cannot be eN-
planned pending the arrival of later
dispatches.
The number of members of the
House of Commons who have volun-
teered for the front threaten seriously

was a joyous pretty girl of eighteen

had been great rejoicing among the
simple country residents over the re-
cent purchase of a bell for the village
church. 1t had just been placed in the
belfry and was to ring out for the
first time at midnight. This gave
