Pueblo, Colo, Aug Strain No. H.,

through bridge over an arroyo, or dry
creek, near Eden, on the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad, about eight miles from
Pueblo, at o'clock last night.
1t is estimated that of the 125 pas
sengers on board the Inflated train be-
tween eighty and. one hundred lost
their lives, either under the water OF
the raging torrent or beneath the
wreckage.
Upon the news reaching Pueblo a
special train bearing all the available
surgeons and Rio Grande and Missouri
Pacific officials left for the scene.
About II o'clock a second train, car
rying stretchers, coffins and number
Of police officers, was sent out from the
Union station. The alarm was sent out

harmed from the wreck.
About LAS o'clock this morning the
relief train returned to the city, bring

ones, 80 far as now known, who did
not perish in the disaster.

There was no water in the creek two
hOus after tho accident. The diner and

Former Victor Marsha, Killed.


Denver, Aug. Michael w. OCon-
nell. former marshal OF Victor, Colo
RADIO. who was released only a few
days ago on $4,000 bail from the
''bullpen" in Victor, came to his death
suddenly in Denver last evening. He
fell head foremost from q window on
the fourth floor of the Markham hotel.
Death came instantaneously. for his
skull was crushed like an egg. A ru-
NOR that he had been attacked and
hurled from the window by murder
ers was circulated. but Chief Of Po-
lice Delaney, who conducted q thor
ough examination into the circum-
murder. 1t is generally believed by
all who investigated the case that
O'Connell committed suicide.
OConnell, who arrived In Denver
from Pueblo Friday afternoon. accom-
panied by his nearest friend. John
Horrigan. registered at the Markham
Friday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, and
both men were assigned to the same
room on the third floor. O'Connell
was in a respondent frame OF mind
and weak physically. In fact, he was
in such q condition that his friends
thought 1t wise to keep q constant
watch upon him.
Many OF the friends and acquaint-
ances OF O'Connell-and he was known
to thousands in Victor, Cripple Creek
and Leadville-on first hearing of his
death were under the impression that
1t must have been the work of his ene-
mics. Chief Delaney. Captain Connor
and three detectives. however, made a
very close investigation. Not one of
them could find any reasonable ground
for the murder theory.

Secretary of State Cowie addresBd a
letter to Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock at Washington, recently,
asking II the boundary line between
the state of Colorado and the territory
of New Mexico had been established
The Thirteenth General Assembly pro-
vided for a commission to survey the
boundary. since a conflict had arisen
in some of the counties along the south
ern line Of the state over boundary
lines. The commission was appointed
by Governor Orman. and made q report
to the secretary Of state. The govern
ment on behalf Of the territory of New
Mexico then made survey. In answer
to Secretary Of State Cowie's letter
Secretary Hitchcock wrote. saying that
the southern boundary Of Colorado had
been resurveyed and re-established by
ii. B. Carpenter, United States survey
or and astronomy. on the thirty-sev-
enth parallel of iiorth lrsitude in 1902
and 1903, and the resurvey had been
approved and accepted by the Depart
ment of the Interior February 20, 1904.
1t is also stated that the result of the
survey will be reported to Congress for
its consideration. land to form the
basis of any negotiations which 1t may
deem necessary to induce the state OF
Colorado to adopt the line SO estab.

survey will doubtless be approved by
Congress on behalf Of New Mexico.

some Of them got of at Colorado
Springs, not less than thirty passengers
boarded the train there, SO that IL the
total changed, 1t is not unlikely that it
was increased.
With the breaking of day the full
horror of the scene, which was con-
cealed to great degree by the mantle
of night, became apparent. Wreckage
is visible in all directions, dead bodies
being visible here and there in the
piles of debris from the cars, driftwood
and mud.
1t will be several hours before the
number of dead can be announced with
any certainty. Many of the bodies OF
those who perished were carried down
Fountain creek by the wall Of water
which had force enough to carry sew
eral coaches nearly four miles away
from the point where they went
through the bridge.

THE INcAs OF PERU.
Wise and Just Civic Administration
Discouraged Crime Among
the People.

When the Spanish first invaded
Peru the government of the Incas
was in a fourishing condition
there. 1t is said to have been the
most enlightened despOtism that
ever existed and about the near
est approach to a Utopia that has
yet been reached by any people.
There was allotted toeachman free
of charge a dwelling site and ex-
tended area Of land for him to cul-
tivate for the maintenance of his
family. The surplus of products
from this tract, left over from the
immediate needs of the owner,
was given as a tribute to the Inca
government and used for re
ligious, charitable and other pur-
poses at the sovereign city OF
CuzcO. Under the wise and just
civic administration crime and
public corruption and theft were
not known. In CuzcO a resident
with 100 bars of silver and gold
piled up in his house left it wide
open, only placing a small stick
across as a sign that the master
was Out-and nobody went in.
All the tribe was divided into
numerous clans. The powers Of
administration were centered in
the elective dignitaries, a military
leader and the head of the re-
ligious system. There was also a
council of chiefs. None of these
Offices was hereditary and they
could not be occupied by sons I'M
less they were specially chosen for
the position. The succession Of
the chief Inca did not fall upon the
shoulders of his child. This was
due to the clan organization,
which governed the affairs Of
state. Inheritance was by mother
right. A man could not marry a
woman of his own clan, but had 90
select one from another. This was
the main unit for holding the tribe
together.
Woman had no voice in the pub
! lie affairs of the tribe, but ruled
supreme in the home. She was adj
mitted to esOteric societies, Of
/ which there were many. Women
also practiced healing and became

Distinguished Dog.

A dog in England has lately
been hOnOred by the receipt of an
Illuminated address, in which he
is informed that he is the most
successful collector for the Vic
tOria infirmary at Norwich, and is
thanked by the board of mana
gers. The dog is a five-year-old
fOx-terrier, named Prince. He
does not wear cup or basket or
carry one in his mouth, as do
most mendicant dogs, but simply
sits up on his hind legs and begs.
When he receives a coin he goes
and deposits it in a box
kept for the purpose. During 1903
he collected more than 1000 coins.
One hopes that if illness or acct
dent ever overtake Prince there
may be a warm bed for him at the
infirmary, with plenty of good sir
loin steak and dOg-biscuit.--

Scared TO Death.

DR.. Francis w. Mcnamara, OF
Chicago, says: Millions Of people
are made wretched every year or,
perhaps, have their lives shortened,
by feeling that they have heart
disease. They have pain in that
region, and their own diagnosis is
sufficient to convince them of the
malady. AS a matter Of truth,
there is seldom any pain from heart
disease, The trouble is indigestion
only. The stomach, lying just
under the heart, is distended to a
painful degree by gases, and,
crowdipg toward the heart, makes
the pain seem to be in that organ.
This opinion simply confirms the
claim of DR.. W. B. Cald well, who
originated the formula OF Syrup
.PePsin, the guaranteed cure for
Indigestion and constipation. All
druggists sell it, but be sure to ask
tor DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin.

Effects of Right-Eyedness.


The majority Of men and wOm-
en-, according to DR.. George M.
Gould, are not only right-handed,
but right-eyed; that is, the right
eye sees better than the left
From this flow some curious re-
suits. For instance, right-eyed-
ness explains why, in the develop
ment of violin-playing, the difficult
and rapid lingering was allotted
to the less expert left hand, while
the easy bowling fell to the deX,
trOus right hand. The reason, as
DR.. Gould thinks, is because the
ordinary position of the violin is
such that the right eye most read
lily sees the motions and positions
Of the fingers on the strings. In
similar way the right eye com
pels the more awkward left hand
to direct the gun barrel, while tht
right has simply to hold the trig
ger. In chopping, the weaker left
arm has to direct and enforce tho
blow, while the stronger RICH
plays subordinate part for tn,
convenience of the right eye.-Sci

that widows must not remarry.

no means an unmixed blessing to
the woman, so perhaps perpetual

SOME GREAT SEA DISASTERS
Many Big Naval Vessels Have Gone
Down with Their Hundreds
Of Men on Board.

Loss of the Russian flagship
PetropayIovsk at Port Arthur,
with Admiral Makaroff and an es-
timated strength of nearly 500 Of
fiecrs and men, while a severe
blow to Russian prestige in the
far east, is one of those catastro-
plies in naval warfare, says the
Chicago News, to which an ac-
tual combatant is always liable,
though happily their occurrence is
not common. In 1883, when
"Hawke did bang Monsieur Con
fans" at Quiberon bay, Sir Ed
ward Hawke ordered his pilot to
lay the Royal George, of 100 guns,
alongside the Soleil Royal, the
French admirars flagship. Before
this could be done another French
ship, La Superbe, of 40 guns, gal
lantly interposed, and, receiving
her opponents broadside, went
down into the deep with her col
ors flying and $50 souls on board.
Her revenge, however, came on
August %, 1882, when the Royal
George sunk at harbor off Spit
head in a squat.
During a great storm in 1903 II
men-of-war went down off the Brit
isb coast with 1900 men. Many
lives were lost when the British
warship Ajax took fire in 1907.
The British warship Captain
turned over in the Bay of Biscay IN
1870, about 500 lives being lost.
When the Sultan, the sister ship
of the Captain, was fitting out at
Portsmouth a grim humorist,
prOphesying her possible fate
(happily he proved to be wrong),
chalked on her side: "Will leave
on Thursday with mails for the
lCaptain."
The fate of the Italian warshiI
Re d'Italia at the battle of LISA
the one great fight that has as yet
taken place between armored hos
tile fleets in European waters
should be mentioned. 1t was OF
July 20, 1866, that the Austrian
Admiral TegethOff fought Per
sanO's fleet and the flagship Fer
dinand Max sent her opponent
down with 600 men on board, the
Italian irOnclad PalestrO alsC
blowing up, about score of lives
only being saved.
