CAUGHT IN DR1LL-PREss.
Santa Fe Machinist Had Narrow Es-
cape at San Bernardino.

San Be%rnardino, Cal, Feb. 12.-Dett
Wallman. a machinist apprentice at
the Santa Fe shops. had a most peculiar
experience. ana that he was not Killed
or manned for life as a result of it is
certainly to be wondered at. Mailman
was at work on the gang drill press and
had two drills in motion. While he was
at work With one of the drills his sleeve
was caught in the second, and in IN in
slant his arm was being drawn under
meath. In d frantic attempt to free him
self his remaining sleeve was caught in
the other drill.
BY this time the signal of alarm had
been sounded and a move made to shut
off the power. But before the machine
~ could be stopped Wallman's entire
shirt and the upper portion of his trou-
sers had been twisted from his body
and devOured by the drills and gearing.
As it was. his only severe injury was a
cut at the back of the neck. caused by
the tightening fabric as it was twisted
by the revolving machinery. His back
and arm, however. are badly bruised
from jolts against the press stand, as
he was pulled to and fro by the wheels,
and it viii probably be several days be-
fore he fully recovers from the shock.

gHUNDER MoUNTAIN TRIP.
Chanute Man Tells Of Winter Voyage
Back.

Chanute. Kas., Feb. 12.-The Tribune
says.
Billy Slough. who has charge Of
the Santa Fe Mining company's hold
ings out in the Idaho Thunder noun
tain district. has been in Chanute for q
week or more for medical treatment and
left TO-DAY noon on the return trip to
spend the rest Of the winter
It is no easy matter to get back to
civilization from the Thunder mountain
country at this season of the year and
the story of Mr.. StOugh's trip to rail-
road connections was very interesting.
THE first six miles from our camp"
Mr. Slough said, had to be walked At
Baker, a small settlement, I took the
stage for Red Rock, a distance of %
miles. The stage was on bObsleds and
was drawn by six horses, which were
changed every IL miles. 1t was a ter
ribIy cold trip across the divide. Snow
was from three to fourteen feet deep,
and the mercury IS to % degrees below
zero. All along the road horses were
lying frozen and starved to death
Coming down IN the side of the di-
Vid we missed the trail and horses.
sled, driver and myself all went oVer
in fourteen feet of snow. The horses
just laid still until you dug them out.
We made the trip in two days and a
night. Cold We'll I should say" he
said with a shiver. Trees eighteen to
twenty inches in diameter you can
strike three ticks with an ak and they
break off like an icicle. Doors in the
houses sweat on the inside and ice
freezes on the floor so you have to take
the ak and cut the ice to open the doors.
This sounds rather strong" he said with
a laugh, but it is the gospel truth. But
Notwithstanding the cold, my wife and
little girls cheeks. who are with me out
there, are red as roses. and none of us
have had a old since we have been
there"
The railroads are pushing out in that
district. Mr.. Slough says. The new
road from Mackey to Challes." he said,
will make Salman only 60 miles. All
down hill. If they build to Salman this
summer we will then be only 20 miles
away, and if they should come down
the river viii be only five or six miles
away"

A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which Will Interest
Catarrh Sufferers.

In its earlier stages catarrh is more OF
a nuisance than a menace to the general
health, but sooner or later. the disease
extends to the throat, bronchial tubes
and even to the stomac and intestines.
Catarrh is essentially a disease of the
mucous membrane, the local symptoms
being a profuse discharge of mucus.
StOppage of the nOStr1lS. irritation III
throat, causing coughing, sneezing, gag
ging and frequent clearings of the
throat and head.
The usual treatment by local douches,
snuffs, salVes, etc, often gives tempo
rary relief. but anything like a cure can
only be obtained by a treatment which
removes the catarrhal faint from the
Hood and the disappearance OF the IN
1ammatiOn from the mucous surfaces.
A new remedy which meets these re-
cuirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing catarrh
is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They CAR
hardly be called a secret patent medi-
cine as they are of such val
liable remedies as Blood root. Hydrastin
Red gum and similar cleansing antisep-
tics. which cure by eliminating from the
blood and mucous surfaces the catarrhal
poison.
stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large.
nleasant tasting IOZengeS taken in
ternaHy. allowing them to dissolve slow
" in the mouth. in this way they reach
the throat. fauces and the entire ali
mentary canal
IF desired. they may also be dissolved
in water and used as a douche, in addi-
ton to the internal use. but it is moi
at all necessary to use a douche; a few
Of them dissolved in the mouth daily
viii be sufficient. However. when there
is much stoppage of the nose, a douche
made from these tablets viii give imme-
date relief, but the regular daily use in
t~ernallv of these tablets will cure the
whole catarrhal trouble without resort
ing to the inconvenience of a douche.
DR.. Rement states that the internal
ii eatment for catarrh is rapidly takinz
the place of the old plan of douching
and local application and further says
that probably the best and certainly
the safest remedy at present on the
market IS Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. as
no secret is made of their composition
and all the really efficient remedies foc
catarrh are contained in this tablet
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets at 50 cents for full sized packages.
Ask your druggist and if he is honest
he will tell you there is nc safer. more
palatable, more efficient and convenient
remedy on the aarket-

work in northern New Mexico which
has shown the company's coal fields to

tended on to Te-c;o. where it viii con-
