A TERRIFIC COLLISION.
Engineer Dies at His Post in the Vain Attempt to Save His
 Train and Passengers.

Ottumwa, Ia., May Huntington passenger train No. was wrecked yesterday while passing Thayer, small town IS miles east of Creston, causing the death of Engineer $. D. Brown, of Burlington, and injuring over a score of passengers. The loco- motive hauling the passenger train struck an engine attached to freight train that was backing on to side track. The passenger engine and all but two cars of the passenger train left the rails and rolled down 20-foot embankment.
 Thayer is situated in the bed of deep ravine, and on either side of the station the track curves sharply. Neither engineer could see the others train until they were within 200 feet of each other. The passenger train was running at high speed.
 The engineer of the freight train heard the passenger train coming and made the utmost endeavor to back his heavy train on to the side track. He succeeded in getting all but the engine on the siding When the crash came.
 As the passenger train rounded the curve, Engineer Brown saw his peril but he stuck to his post, reversed his engine, threw on the air brake to the emergency notch, applied the sand and awaited the crash.
 At the last moment the men on the freight engine jumped, escaping seri ous injury. The crash was terrific, The freight engine was thrown across the tracks and the passenger engine hurled down the 20-foot em bankment, followed by the baggage car, the express car, the day coach and three chair cars.
 The agent at Thayer and several hangers-on around the depot, wit, messed the wreck and rendered such aid to the wounded as was possible before the arrival of relief train dispatched from this city with sur geons.

DEATH UNDER THE SNOW.
Seven Men Buried by n SnOv-S1idel Five of Whom Were Dead
 When Taken Out.

Seattle, Wash, May 7.-Particulars of the snow-slide reported to have oC- cured at Sunrise City, Alaska, about March 20, were received here, yester day, by mail. The slide did not occur at Sunrise, but at Smiths camp, on Lynx creek, 22 miles above Sunrise, Five men were killed.
 The slide started on the side of an adjacent mountain, and came thun. dering down over a cliff on to the camp beneath, sheer fall of 200 feet There had been nothing to give the men warning of their danegr, and the first known of the castrophe was when they heard the roar of the great body sliding down the noun tain. There were at the camp, in all. seven men, two beside the five who were killed.
 The entire seven were buried under the mass, but Frank Fleehardy, strong young man, was not buried as deeply as the rest, and by several hours hard work succeeded in getting out of the slide. As soon as he reached the surface he began, without result, to dig for his comrades.
 The first man reached was Gilber, Devoe. Beyond a number of severe cuts and bruises and the fact that he was seriously frostbitten Devoe was all right, and will recover, although he was under the snow 16 hours. The others were dead when the rescuine party reached their bodies.

PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS.

No bank embezzler need feel safe in jail after William Mckinley gets his benevolent eye on him.-N. Y. World.
 -EXpansionists declare that the Cubans are very ''ungrateful" if they do not accept the Platt amendments. If they are to give value received why should they be grateful? Give them independence that is independence, and see whether they are not grate- ful.-Indianapol.s News Qnd.).
 The public need expect no relief through the republican party from the eXactions of the trusts. Even the republican leaders themselves pro- nounce such thing outside the range of reason. If there is to be any change in conditions it will have to come through the democratic party. Butte (Mont.) Miner.
 It is thought worthy of tele- graphic notice, from Washington, that Mark Hanna is opposed to all move ments looking to change in the man. agement of the democratic national committee. Pretty soon they will be asking us to pay tolls on the discov- cry that Hanna knows when he is well off.-Albany Argls.
 If white republican party suf- ficiently strong to compete with the democratic party springs up in the south the black men of both sections must commence to do little think ing on their own account. It can only mean that the republican party has formally abandoned the southern black to the political fate that has menaced him for long time in the south, and that it has to all intents and purposes consented that he be returned to practical serfdom.-Den- yer News.
 The ink was hardly dry on the issue of the tin can trusts Atock cer- tificates before it got down fe busi- ness by announcing an increase in the price of its wares. It is estimated that the cost of living for each per- son who consumes canned goods will be increased to the extent of 50 cents year by the increased price of cans. This will not be heavy tax to the individual, but will run into millions of dollars in the aggregate, and every cent of it will be plunder.

ENORMOUS GAMBLING.
Wall Street Games That Have Been Favored by Republicans
 in Congress.

The spectators and stock gamblers in New York are running wild with the mad desire to get other peoples money. In one day the exchanges at the clearing house reached in round figures the enormous amount of $547,- 100000, beating the previous high rec ord by nearly 02,00o,0 ,00o, or about 23 per cent. The Bank of Manhattan alone turned in close to $64, ,60O 900 in checks, etc. In past years it would have been safe to foretell that panic would soon follow such abnormal deal- ings and the accompanying rises in the prices of stocks and bonds, but as all the great financiers, Morgan, Rocke- feller, and the great banking houses, with billions of ready money, are sup porting this bull market and nearly all the leading and wealthy bears have joined in the saturnalia or are bank rupt, it is impossible to say when it will all end and normal conditions be restored.
 It is stated that until Morgan has unloaded the watered steel stock the boom is to continue.
 The ordinary speculator has no show in such market, as by word from the princes of finance the market can be swayed either way and wipe out any ordinary margin.
 It would seem that this excitement would be enough to satisfy the most inveterate gambler, but special tele- gram to the Chicago Chronicle says: Three of party of five men toyed with the fickle game of hearts at the Waldorf-Astoria Monday night until they arose from the festive board with an aggregate loss of nearly $6O,0O0 The game of hearts is now understood to be the most popular of card amuse- ments indulged in by patrons of the hotel, and nearly every night in one or two of the cardrooms pretty stiff game of the elusive pasteboards may be found in operation. It is reported that several members of the recently formed giant steel corporation, who make their headquarters at the hotel, have been the heaviest losers at the game, but who the winners have been none will ever hazard to guess.
 These gamblers are the men who have been favored by the republicans in congress with special legislation to aid them in robbing the people of their millions of dollars. Even the door of the white house is open to them or their emissaries for like services. Cab- met officers are appointed in their in- terests, to-wit, the new attorney gen. eral, who has been, and perhaps now is, the attorney of the steel trust. Strong objections were made to his appointment on the ground that it would injure the party and prove Il contention of the democrats that
 talk of curbing the trusts was b,
 combe and only an attempt to fool tn people. Mckinley ignored the advice, and it is thus fair to assume that the great majority of his party are either controlled or under obligations to these gamblers and trust magnates."

How any American, be he repub- lican, democrat, prohibitionist or what not, can uphold the policy of inn perialism as enforced by the present administration in the island of Porto Rico, is beyond comprehension.

It needs not words to frame them-ths deaths, the famine, the i'm poverishment which prevail among the people of that once prosperous but now unhappy island form an ava lanche of unanswerable protests against the unchristian, un-American, heartless, greedy policy of imperial ism.-Buffalo Times.

CLEANING KID GLOVES.
How to Restore Delicate Shades to
Pristine Freshness.

A successful wash for soiled kid
gloves of the more delicate shades, as
well as white, will be owned by many
housewives as one of the greatest bless
iDgs of the day. Many of the cleaners
will say that light gray or pale laven-
der kids cannot be cleaned successful-
ly, but they are wrong. Go to any
drug store and ask for cleaning fluid
made as follows: Deodorized benzine,
two pints; sulphuric ether, one dram;
chloroform, one dram; alcohol, two
drains.
Open the windows wide and have no
fire and no light in the room while do
ing the cleaning. Select large earth
en- bowl and pour in enough Of the
fluid to well cover the pair of gloves.
Wash the gloves just as you would a
cloth or a piece of lace. Rub the fin
gers together until the seams are en-
tirely clean. Use one glove to rub the
other with. When they seem to be
clean, squeeze out and dry them with
n towel sufficiently to put on the hand
If a spot shows anywhere, wet 1t again
with the fluid and rub the kid gently
with the towel.
If you have plenty of the washing
fluid and are DESTROYS Of having the
gloves look just like new, rinse them
before trying them on in clean wash
When assured that they are clean, pull
them off carefully by loosening the fin
gers at the tips. Hang them up to dry
in the open air. In half an hour all
disagreeable odor will have disappear
ed. One quart of this cleansing fluid
will not cost over 40 cents, and it ought
to clean six pairs of gloves.
