derailed at 1880 o'clock yesterday
morning at Apishapa creek, thirty five
miles east of this city, and, breaking
down the steel bridge, the engine and
four cars following, plunged to the bed
of the creek, where they were piled in
mass of wreckage. Thirty or more
tralnmen and passengers were injured,
and that no one was killed outright Is
regarded as almost miraculous. The
train was bowling along at speed OF
fifty miles an hour as it approached

Engineer Walker said that the first in

was when the drivers suddenly began

the throttle and reversed the lever.
The engine and cars plowed over the
ties at least fifteen feet. and the ex-

be possessed by mania for oDerat-
ing, especially in cases of hemorrhoidS
or piles, and while the greater number
of the profession do not recommend

believe it necessary, the fact remains
that much needless operating is done,
and the patient put to much expense
and suffering. for what?
To obtain possible temporary re-
lief; these words are used advisedly,
because in nine cases out of ten the
aff1iction returns and the patient is
just where he started from. Often
times he could be cured much more
