One Of the most extraordinary acct
dents ever reported on the Uni> Pa
cifc railroad occurred recently near
Cheyenne, Wyo. The engine attached
to the Overland Limited jumped the
tracks and ran along the ties for al
most a mile, owing to the momentum
of the train, which was going down
grade at a terrific rate. At the foot
cf the hill the engine leaped back on
to the track without damage to the
locomotive or the train.

PLosIoN OF GAS IN A WEST
VIRGINIA COLLIERY.
A Second Explosion Occurs While
Party of Brave Men Are Exploring
the Mine on Mission Of Rescue,
and Fourteen More Are Killed.

Charleston, w. Va, March 2O.-As ths
result of a horrible explosion OF gas in
the Rush Run and Red Ash mines neal
Thurmond Saturday night, "a men now
lie stark in death in the two mines. Ten
of these were killed in the explosion Sat.

cuing party who entered the mine Sun
day morning to take from the mines the
charred and blackened remains OF their
fellow workmen. These latter were
killed by a second explosion and the
after damp. The first explosion was
caused by naked flame coming in
contact with the gas. The flames leaped
from the drift mouth and set fire to
everything in reach that was not blown
from harms way by the force of the ex-
plosion. The big fan that furnished ala
in the mine was so damaged that it was
several hours before it could be started
again.
Brave Men Enter Mine.
After it had been put in working order,
a rescue party was formed and about 20
men entered the mine in search OF the
bodies of those who had persisted at the
first explosion. The men explored the
mines for two or three hours, putting up
brattices so that pure air should follow
them wherever they went. Finally some
of them came out and reported that the
others were too careless in going for
ward faster than the good air was being
supplied carrying at the same time a

Fourteen More Killed.

explosion was not SO forcible as the
former, but the more awful in its effects
and was followed by shorter, thinner
tongue of flame followed by a silence so
deadly that it seemed physically pain
full, and darkness impenterable. Mine
Inspector Edward Pinckney arrived on
the ground and took charge of the res
cue work. The second explosion again
damaged the fan, and Mr.. Pinckney will
allow no one to enter the mine until it
is working properly and a draught OF
fresh air is running through the mine.
When this is done he will lead the rescue
squad himself.

SEEDING IN PROGRESS
IN WESTERN CANADA.
Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
Of Settlers.

0SSSS
and barley produced by the farmers
of Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
AS a result the inquiries made of the
Agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad COM
panies are putting on increased carry
ing capacity to meet the demand made
upon them for carrying passengers
and freight. Everything points to
most prosperous year. There is room
for hundreds Of thousands additional
settlers, much new land having been
opened up for settlement this year.
1t is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number it
is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from
letter written by Mr.. Geo. M. Girls
void, of Red Deer, Alta, formerly of
Grever, Montana, written on the I'd
of January, is as follows:
II am located one and one-half miles
from a beautiful lake ten miles long,
where there is church, school, three
stores, creamery and two post offices.

steers), horses, hogs and sheep are

just little snow, hardly enough for
good sleighing, as we just had Chi
nook which has melted the roads and
laid bare the fields and pasture. There
are fine wheat, oats, barley and fax
raised here, also winter wheat and
timothy hay for export to British Co.
1umbia. This is a mixed farming and
dairy country. This is the right time
to get a foothold in the Canadian
West, as it was some years ago in the
United States. We are free from wind
gumbo and alkali here and have fine,
clear, soft we'll and spring water at a
depth of from to Is feet, and lots Of
