appalling heights. Almost as far as

At Divide. Colo, connection is
made with the Colorado Midland rail.
way, and'here the scene changes to the
delightful parks OF upper Ute pass.
The railroad winds through the
beautiful summer resorts of Green
Mountain Falls, Woodland park and
Cascade canon, thence to Manitou
and Colorado Springs through lower
Ute pass, the most famous gorge in
Colorado.
This gateway to the Cripple Creek
district is, aside from its .cenic grand
eur, the most interesting historical
region In the West. In the camping
ground of the Ute Indian in the days
gone by, many sanguinary conflicts
we're waged in the rock bound fast
nesses OF this granite pass. Famous
as the scene Of the earliest gold dis.
cOveries 10 the state, and the route of
the first wagon road through the
Rocky Mountains. The wall OF solid
rock stand 1000 feet IN helght and so
narrow Is the canon Ia many places
that the rOadbed has beeE hewn from
the solid rock and the chasms spanned
by great bridges. The track through
the pass has recently been rebuilt
with seventy. hve- pound steel rails
and many other improvements are
contemplated.
The through car service of the Mid
land Terminal railway Is very com
plete. There are at present two |
trains each way every day between |
Cripple Greek and Colorado Springs, |
Pueblo and Denver, ,On which through J
coaches and chair cars are in service |
between Cripple Creek and Coloraco
Springs. Direct connections with all |
of the fast trains OF Eastern lines are |
made at all points mentioned, and at
Divide for all Western points, includ-
ing Leadvllle, GlenwOod, Grand |
Junction, Salt Like and the Pacific
coast.
The Midland Terminal railway was
Incorporated August, 1892. Seven
miles Of IL (Diyide to Midland) were
constructed during the fall OF 1893.
These seven miles were opened for
traffic December IL, 1893. Passengers
and freight were handled between
Midland, the terminus, and Cripple
Creek by stages and transfer wagons.
The line was completed to Gillet,
fifteen miles from Divide, on July 4,
1894, and to Cripple Creek December
Is, 1895. The incorporators we're W.
X. Gillet, H. Collbran and Fl. P. Lilli-
bridge. Mr.Gillett eventually secured
control OF the entire property, and
has since been its president. The
road is broad gauge throughout.

Hurrah for the Others.

The back yard had taken on a
highly military aspect. There were
soldiers with broomsticks, an officer
with a wooden sword, a proud boy
with a flag too large for him, and a
"band" with a gayly-painted drum,
which he was beating furiously. Only
little Robbie sat ~forlornly on the
steps and looked on. A treacherous
bit of glass had disabled his foot and
he could not keep up with the army.
"I can't do nothin'p he said, dis
consolately.
eyes, you cam" answered Captain
Fred; "you can hurrah when the
rest go BY"
So the little fellow kept his post,
watching through all the marching
and countermarching, often left
quite alone while the troop travelled
in another direction, but he never
failed to swing his small cap and
raise his shrill cheer when they ap-
peared.
Robbie was the real hero. It is not
easy to hurrah for those who can go
ahead where we must stop; to forget
our own disappointment and cheer
for those who are doing what we
would like to do and yet cannot do;
to rejoice in the success of those who
have the place which we wanted to
fiji. 1t takes a great heart to stand
aside and "cheer when the rest go

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

In farming as in other lines, it
pays to be forehanded. Of course
there is always a great deal to be
done on the farm, and it is neces-
sary to systematic the work so that
nothing will be neglected. Already
many agriculturists are beginning to
formulate plans for handling their
1908 crops. Although harvest is still
months off, that does not deter the
thrifty farmer from getting ready
for it. If the old binder has reached
the limit of its usefulness, the thrifty
farmer is always forehanded in his
determination to purchase a new ma
chine before the harvest is ready.
It is we'll understood that machines
actually work better if they have
been delivered and set up several
weeks before the harvest. The indi-
cations now are that more farmers
will buy Mccormick machines this
year than in any previous season,
for the reason that this world-re-
nOwned binder is always u~p-to-date,
having exclusive features that make
it the farmers favorite machine.

Ephesus brings clearly before us the
speciousness of the reasoning which
is always employed by those who are
engaged in occupations which are
detrimental to the highest human
welfare. Demetrius was most plausi-
bic in his speech, but he was the adj
vocate of a baneful trade. So we
must ever be on our guard against
the specious defense which is often
made for the liquor traffic, for the
opium trade and for other evils which
are inimical to Christianity and adj
verse to the best interests of human
ity.

NOTES ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON FOR MARCH IS.
The Riot at Ephesus.
(ActS 10: 29-40.)

Golden Text: The Lord preserveth
the faithful. Psalms 31:23.
PauIs stay in Ephesus seems to
have extended over a period of about
three years. 1t was towards the end
of his stay that the incident narrated
in our lesson took place.
The Worship of Diana.-A con-
spicuous feature of life in the city
of Ephesus was the worship of the
heather diety Diana, whose temple
was a striking and magnificent OBJ
ject, famous throughout the known
world, and frequented by hosts of
visitors from all parts of the Roman
Empire.
The influx of strangers who came
to worship at the temple of Diana
led to the making of little shrines,
which found a ready sale among both
the inhabitants of the city and those
who came from the outside world to
worship in the temple.
Demetrius and His Fellow Craft
men.-PauPs preaching in Ephesus
introduced a new and distinct ele-
ment into the life of that city, the
significance of which soon became
apparent to those who we're engaged
IN the manufacture of the shrines
USED III connection with the worship
u Diana. The Christian faith is
exclusive; it does not permit of a
uI'lsIon of loyalty between Christ
ana any other object of worship.
therefore, Demetrius, the leading
s'Iyersmith of Ephesus, was natural
~ disturbed at the growth of the
christian religion under the effective
ministry of Paul.

desperation to save them. but the
flames soon gained complete mastery
Of the last two cars.
The firemen from Westfield were
summoned by phone, but arrived too
late to save many lives. Doctors were
called for from Elizabeth, Westfield
and Plainfield. and there was a score
on hand. The parlor cars of the Royal
Blue line train were converted into
temporary hospitals.
The fireman after a time mastered
the flames. Then the wreckage was
attacked again and the work of re-
covering the bodies was begun. Out of
the first car eight bodies were taken.
The sight while the wreck was burning
was horrifying. Men could be seen in
the wreckage pinned fast amid the tim
bers of the cars and struggling to be
free while the flames roared around
them. The rescuers were helpless to
aid them. as they already had been
driven from the wreck by the flames.
One of those who tried to taiSe out
man pinned in found that he was held
down by one leg near the ankle, and
seeing it would be useless to do any
thing else, is said to have finally sever
ed the mans leg and then carried him
to one of the parlor cars. Both res
cued and rescuers were badly burned.
When the engine ploughed into the
rear car it partly split the car open,
and at the same time lifted it up and
on to itself. This car was the first to
take fire and most of those in it are
dead Some of them are believed to be
beneath the overturned engine.
Those in the car ahead, which was
lifted over the rear car, suffered the
most. For some time before the flames
reached them the car below and behind
them were enveloped in smoke and
steam, and it was here that the worst
sights were witnessed. The impris
oned ones begged for death to end
their agonies, and implored those who
were laboring to get them free to crush
their heads with the axes they were
using to chop away the wreckage.
One passenger only was severely hurt
on the Royal Blue. He was walking in
the aisle of one of the cars when the
crash came, and the impact hurled him
up into the air and sidewise across the
heads of several persons in chairs and
then through window One of his
hands was cut and he was badly bruis-
ed. He said he was a son Of John
Wanamaker, of Philadelphia. He did
good work later on after his hand had
been bandaged.
A Westfield doctor went into the
wreck and bandaged and treated the
injured even before they were releas-
ed. Some Of those he treated were
afterwards suffocated or burned to
death.

FED ARSENIC TO PARENTS
Girl Of 13 Explains Mysterious Illness
of Father and Mother.

OF amer ana MotUSTs
Corning, N. Y, Jan. 26.-Thirteen-
year-old Nellie Kinsley has confessed
that a mysterious illness from which
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac B.
Kinsley, have been suffering is due to
poison she put into the food in order
to obtain their property after death.
do you know how to get money
and houses and everything you want?'
she asked her playmats while her
parents were ill. when your father
and mother are dead all they own will
belong to you. I found that out lit
tie while ago, and took some of the
rat poison papa got to kill the rats
with and put it in the supper I cooked
l did not eat the supper, but papa and
mamma did and then they got sick. If
they die I will have money"
At the Susquehanna Home, at Bing-
hamton, she repeated the story of the
poisoning. Nellie was adopted by Mr.
and Mrs. Kinsley when she was 2
years old. Recently Mr.. Kinsley had
bought some arsenic, and it was kept
on a shelf in the pantry. Soon after
Nellie prepared supper for her parents
and they were taken violently i'll. It
was traced to arsenic and Nellie was
suspected Mrs. Kinsley will probably
be crippled for life as a result of the
poisoning.

MAY LIFT BLOCKADE SHORTLY
Caracas Has Well-Founded Reasons
For This Belief.

Caracas, Jan. 28.-The news cabled
Monday that the blockade will be
called off today is confirmed by the
semi-oficial press here. which says:
There are well-founded reasons for
the belief that the blockade will be
suspended before tonight"
1t is a visible fact that only foreign
ers are suffering from the effects of
the blockade. The Venezuelans them
selves. accustomed to native produce,
are not undergoing hardships, except
because of the shortage Of salt. The
supply of corn is sufficient to furnish
native bread for a year.

Outlaw Shot From Ambush.

Middlesboro, KY, Jan. 26.-Henry
Cummings, notorious among The high
waymen of the mountains, met death
from ambush before daybreak here
yesterday on one of the principal
streets. James Adley Turner, who was
walking with him, was shot in the
arm. The assassins are unknown. It
is common report that Cummings
killed John German, president of the
United Mine Workers Union, two
years ago; Greenwood Ward soon af-

of others is generally attributed to
him, so that it is almost impossible

TROTIING DATES NAMED.
Stewards of Grand Trotting Circuit
Hold a Meeting-Terre Haute Il
Has Withdrawn. A

The annual meeting Of the board of
stewards Of the grand trotting circuit was
held at Boston yesterday, and while q
number Of new measures were discussed,
such professional Judges, barring Of
hopples in the standard pacing class and
the revision Of the proxy system, the
only definite action taken was the assign
ment Of the rate dates for the coming
sea son. These dates are:

Buffalo, Aug. 3; Empire track at Yonkers,
Aug. 10;r Brighton Beach, Aug. II; Read
Vile, Aug: "a; Providence, Aug. 81: Hart

The annual meeting resulted IN the re-
election of D. J. Calnpau of Detroit as
president, while Charles NJ. Jewett of Eos-
ton was chosen secretary in place of s.
w. Giles, who retired on account Of ill
health. @','~" =
Terre TIaute's withdrawal from the
grand trotting circuit at the meeting of
the board of stewards at Boston yester-
day caused great surprise in the Indiana
| town. For years the most sensational per-
formances% in the grand circuit have been
given on the Terre Haute track, it being
there that most Of the great horses made
! their records. President w. P. Ijams
said last night: X
l. I'VE had no representatives at the Bos-
ton meeting because we did not intend to
have one there. We sent letter instead
withdrawing from membership. We are
III the wrong place on the map, and We
have had enough of the grand circuit.
We are tired Of getting the tail end of the
meetings and the bad weather right
along. We have lost money enough and
made up our mind it was time to stop.
We tried to get an earlier date, and We're
refused, so we decided to get out alto
gether. We will not belong to any cir
+ cult. We are big enough to stand alone.
We will be independent like Lexington
and will fix our own dates ourselves, and
We will get the horses ~
! An effort is being made at Crookston to
organize a racing circuit to consist of the
Minnesota towns Of Crookston and East
Grand Forks and the Dakota towns of
Cando. Langdon, Devils Lake, Park River,
Larimore and Bottineau. The first races
will be held at Cando, July and 4, and a
purse of 2,400 will be hung up. A meet
ing will be held at Grand Forks next week
to perfect the organization. =
