The Corvallis times. (Corvallis, Or.) 1888-1909, 1903-07-18

I Canyon City, Col, July 12.-
Three engines and twenty cars Of
a freight train jumped the Denver
and Rio Grande track, in Royal
George this afternoon, and plunged
into the Arkansas river, "a sheer fall
of 1000 feet.
The engines have not yet been.
found. Ten freight cars are also
missing. The river is very deep
and high. and the current runs at
terrific speed.
The three engineers, fireman
and brakeman have disappeared
in the wreck.
The accident occurred near Hang
ing Bridge in the Royal Gorge,
about 6 miles east of Canyon City.
It is the most picturesque railroad
spot in the West. The gorge is
only fifty feet wide, but the rocks
rise perpendicularly from the Ar
kansas river to height of more
than a third of a mile. The freight
train was bound east. Two of the
engines were "dead," being drawn
along with the cars. Without
warning, the locomotive that was
furnishing the power jumped the
track, bumped along on the ties for
few feet, and then plunged into
the abyss, dragging the other en-
gines and ten of the cars after it.
Two of the fremen jumped. The
engineers refused to leave their
post and fell to certain death in the
torrent 2, 900 feet below. A brake
man was thrown into the gorge
when the cars ran off the track.
Breaking Of the coupling saved ten
rear cars from falling into the riv-
-er.
The Pacific express was backed
to Canyon City and it's engine took
wrecking crew and physicians to
the scene.
They found no trace of the en-
gines or of the cars that fell down
the gorge, and there were no injur-
ed to be treated.

tiop company would not permit her
to travel to White Horse in far of
Alaska to see her mother.
Last evening little 11-year-old
Edna Davis sat in the Office of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company
and eagerly scanned the faces of all
who came to the clerks desk. She
wanted to go to Skagway on the
City Of Seattle which sailed last
night. She was well supplied with
money, in fact for SO small a girl
she had a very large amount. She
had long planned for the trip and
she avowed her ability to take care
of herself.
But the steamship com mpany
steadfastly refused to carry chill.
dren unaccompanied by parent
or guardian. So little Edna was
on the verge of tears as the evening
wore away and no one appeared
who was willing to stand sponsor
for her during the voyage.
In reponse to questions of those
who interested themselves in her
behalf the little girl said:
eff can only get to Skagway I
can 60 from there to White Horse,
where my mother lives all by her.
self. But if nobody'l look after
me I can't go tonight and I just
must-"her lips quivered and her
eyes filed with tears.
"You see" she continued, Il
have been down here to school this
winter and now I want to go home.
Ny papa lives in Dawson, but Pm
going to White Horse.
81 won't bother anybody, but
the steamboat folks say I must
have somebody to take the 'sponsi-
bility' of me. I could go alone
just as we'll as not, but they won't
let me, and I do want to see
mamma SO bad," and the tears
came again.
Though little Edna's story be-
came generally known around the
dock and on the steamer no one
could be found who wished to ac-
cept the responsibility of the tenn
porary guardianship of the little
homesick girl. SO it was that the
big ship slowly backed off the wharf
into the outer darkness, leaving
behind heartsick, homesick, bro
ken-hearted bit of humanity, who
refused to be comforted.

NETTLES MADE USE OF.
Serve as Food for Man and Beast and
Furnish Thread and
Clothing.

There was a time once when the
spised weed it is now. People did not
'oot it out of existence, but cultivated it
for use as food, for clothing, and for
paper manufacture, says Stray Stories.
1t certainly doss not look inviting as
a food, and yet during the Irish famine
hundreds of poor people existed en-
tirely on it, cooking the young plant as
greens. There was a method of blanch-
ing it by ~"earthing up" as is now used
for sea kale.
Animals, while refusing to touch the
growing nettle, devour it eagerly when
made into hay, and in Russia, Sweden
and Holland it is mown several times a
year for fodder.
The common name given to the net
tie in some languages means that with
which one sews," for the fiber was used
as a thread several centuries ago.
In Kamschatka the natives use the
thread for fishing lines and cordage. In
France it is used for paper. In Hindu
stan and China it is weven into grass
cloth, and the Scotch have prepared,
spun and woven into as good linen
as the flax makes.
The Chinese nettle yields a fiber as
soft as silk, and there is now in Dres-
den a China grass mandatory, de-
voted to the industry of weaving cloth
from this and the common nettle.

BOUND TO HAVE THEIR LIQUOR
Nansans Organize n Burying AssOci-
alton for the Purpose of Sat-
isfying Their Thirst.

All sorts of subterfuges have been re-
sorted to by the Kansas people in evad-
ing the prohibition law, but the most
extraordinary one so far heard of is
reported here, where there has been for
some time an organization known as
the German Burial association, says the
Newton Kansan. To all appearances
this society has been engaged only in
he work of caring for the dead after
the fashionof burial associations every
where. The surprise of the people may
oe appreciated, therefore, when the
eheriff swooped down on the associa-
tons rooms, arrested the association
officials, and captured a large amount OF
liquor. The chief official pleaded guilty
and was fined 500, and the liquors were
destroyed by the order of the court,
after it had been determined that the
association was in reality nothing but
a drinking club.
The manner in which the character
of the place became known to the Off
Gals is rather interesting. One of the
members Of the association had broken
one of it's rules and the board had fined
him $25. For this sum he gave his note,
but when it fell due he failed to pay it.
~Thereupon the association garnisheed
his wages, and, made angry by this pro-
ceeding, he went to the county attorney
and revealed the secrets of the order.

Unknown Mans Body Found.

ROCHESTER,. Ind. Aug. 25.-The
handsomely dressed body of a man of
medium weight was found by a hunts

badly decomposed and from the fact
that a heavy beaver oyercoat formed

spring. Both sides of the head had
been crushed in. There was nothing on
the body by which to identify it. \

BUDS and FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE.
Paine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make 1t the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, if we expect
them to ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and twitch-
ings of limbs and muscles. They complain Of
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
fast and firm hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore perfect condition of
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plicated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, try the health
giving virtues Of Paines Celery Compound.
