Man CROPPED h 7ay to the Head End, Released
Brakes and b. ID Train to Outer Air.

Tacoma, Wash, Feb. o.-The lives
Of 200 passengers were endangered
last night when the eastbound Great
Northern overland train became
stuck in the Cascade tunnel. The
train was held IN the tunnel for an
hour and thirty-fve minutes on ac-
count of an accident to the air
brakes. The train was two-thirds of
the way through the tunnel when the
air was suddenly turned on and the
train held as fast as though chisel-
led from the rock walls above The
crews of both engines together with
other trainmen and many passengers
We're overcome by the gas which was
SO heavy that it extinguished the
lights in the cars. The gas was caus-
ed by the smoke from the locomo-
tives, which remains in the tunnel
from lack OF good ventilation when
trains are passing through. A pas
senger named John Abbott, appre-
ciated the situation better than the
others. While passengers all about
him were falling unconscious Abbott
made his way to the locomotive. He
found both train crews lying uncon-
scious entirely overcome by gas.
With much effort he succeeded in
starting the air pump and releasing
the air brakes. He then backed the
train through the west end of the tun-
mel. It being all down grade it ran
safely to the swithc at the tunnel

Declares 1t Can Kill Commission Bill
in the Lower House.
In the Meantime Campaign of Vote
Making in Lower Body Will Go On.
House Shares Observation-Disclosures
Claim That Two Democrats From
Spokane Will Vote Against the Bill

Olympia, Wash, Feb. 2.-Leaders
of the railroad lobby announce to-
night that they expect to defeat the
railroad commission bill in the house
and have enough votes to do so. The
railroad fiat has apparently gone
forth that the bill must be beaten in
the house as we'll as in the senate.
Chairman Baker of the senate rail
road committee will probably not call
q meeting of that committee until the
bill has been disposed of in the
lower house. Shairman Tug" Will

who is friendly to the bill. has not
determined when he will call his
committee together, but he will prob
ably be guided by the advice of the
commission leaders. The regular
meeting night is Thursday night, and
i will be held then, if not before.
1t is probable that the railroad at
torneys will ask for a hearing be-
fore the committee, and that other
efforts will be made to hold the mat
ter up for week or so. while the
lobby makes its campaign for votes.
While the railroads claim they have
CROUCH votes in the house now, they
are not absolutely certain and proba-
bly, want time.
1t is to be doubted if the railroads
originally intended to try to beat the
bill in the house. But some of their
senators demanded that they be not
shouldered with all the responsible
ity for the defeat of the bill, and the
railroads have been virtually forced
by them to make a campaign in the
lower house.
Among the house votes claimed by
the railroads against the bill are
those of Reise, Fitzgerald, both dem
ocrats, of Spokane. Neither OF these
two has ever declared positively that
he will vote against the bill. The
lobby claims, however, that it can
handle Fitzgerald because he is

REMARKABLE SUCCESS
OF n New CRtarrh Cure.

A large and constantly increasing major
ity OF the American people are catarrh suf-
ferers. This is, not entirely the result OF
our changeable climate. but because mod
ern investigation has clearly proven that
many diseases. known by other names. are
really catarrh. Formerly the name catarrh
was applied almost exclusively TO the com
mon nasal catarrh. but the throat. stom-
ach. liver, bladder kidneys and intestines
are subject to catarrhal diseases as we'll
as the nasal passages.
In fact. wherever there is mucous mem
brane there is a feeding ground for ca
tarrh.
The usual remedies. inhalers. sprays.
douches or powders. have been practically
failures. as far ss anything more than
temporary relief was concerned, because
they simply dry up the mucus secretioas
without having the remotest effect upon
the blood and liver. which are the real
sources Of catarrhal diseases.
II has been known for some years that
the radical cure OF catarrh could never
come from local applications. but from an
internal remedy, acting on the blood aud
expelling the catarrhal poison from the
system.
A new internal preparation which has
bene on the market only a short time has
met With remarkable success as a genuine
radical cure for catarrh.
II may be found In any drug store, sold
under the name OF Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's. large, pleasant tasting lozenges,
composed principally OF antiseptic ingre-
dents. Blood root, Red gum and similar
eatArrh specifics.
DR.. Ainslee in speaking Of the new ca
tarrh cure says: Il have tried the new
eatarrh remedy, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
upon thirty or forty patients with re-
markedly satisfactory results. They clear
the head and throat more efsctually and
lastingly than any douche or inhaler that
I have ever seen. and although they ara
what IL called a patent medicine and sold
by druggists. l do not hesitate to rec
