The Best Remedy for Group.

This is the season when the wo-
man who knows the best remedies
for Group is in demand in every
neighborhood. One of the most
terrible things in the world is to be
awakened in the middle of the night
by whoop from one of the child
rem. The Group remedies are al
most as sure to be lost, as a revol-
yer is sure to be lost in case OF bur-
glars. There used to be an old
fashioned remedy for Group, known
as hive syrup and tolu, but some
modern mothers say that Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is better, and
does not cost go much. It causes
the patient to "throw up the
phlegm" quicker, and gives relief
in shorter time. Give this RENE
dy as soon as the croupy cough ap-
pears and it will prevent the at
tack. 1t never fails and is pleas
ant and safe to take. For sale by
all druggists.

GENERAL EAGAN of "embalmed
beef" fame during the Spanish war
has been sued by bondholders of a
mining company he organized to
do business in Sonora. Eagan
formed company and bought coal
lands in July, 1901. He incorpor-
ated a company in Arizona with a
capital of 81, 100000, and contract
ed with the Mexican owners of the
land that if the interest was not
paid the property would revert to
the owners. After 100000 was
spent in exploration and develop
ment, the mines were abandoned.
This made the American bonds
worthless.

man was sent back to place torpe-
does on the track, while the crew
under Conductor Talmage were en-
gagged in repairing broken draw
head. Shortly after a double
header freight, in charge of Con-
ductor Boyd, with Charles Stone
and w. J. Condor as engineers, re-
spectively on the first and second
engines, came gliding down the
hill by the smelter, just inside the
east yard limit, and crashed into
the rear of the preceding freight.
The caboose was smashed into kind
ling wood and much of it forced
into the front end of the first en-
CINE. Both engines were derailed
and badly damaged. The train
was made up mostly of coal cars
and one of these was thrown from
the track and badly smashed up.
The engines, Nos. 4S5 and 424,
had just come from the shops and
were making their first trial runs
preparatory to going into the pass
enger service. Both of them were
so badly damaged that it will be
many days before they will be ready
for the road again.
The morning was cold and the
rails frosty, making it impossible
to stop the train, though the speed
was not great 1t was fortunate
that no one was in the caboose, else
the story would be different. The
engine crews both jumped and
thus escaped the danger of the col
lission. The blame will no doubt
be placed when the matter is taken
up con the carpet"
Master Mechanic Drury hap
pened to be on No. 8 that morning
and he was quickly at the scene
supervising the work of clearing
the wreck, being ably seconded by
Roadmaster Johnson. So faithful
ly did they work that the right of
way was about cleared before the
wrecker arrived here from Wins
low. 1t was not until about 3
o'clock in the afternoon that traffic
was again resumed.
