400 KILLED
In Falling Of Arches in
SPANS Capitol, Madrid.
Angry Mob Threatens a Series
Of Disorders.
The King Takes Charge of the Work of
Rescue.

Madrid April 9-Four hundred per-
sons were killed or injured. Saturday,
by the collapse of n new water reser-
vOir in course of construction.
One hundred bodies have already been
recovered.
The Prince of the -Nsturias, the war
minister. the governor Of Madrid and a
representative of the King have gone
to the spot TO superintani the work OF
rescue.
Troops sent 20 the scene are engaged
in helping the sufferers and recoverin. ),
the bodies of the dead.
King Alfonso was shooting at Cara
banchel when he heard Of the disast eT
and Immediately went to the scene and
insisted upon personally supervising the
relief measures. Working parties are
gradually removing the debris and con-
tinue to recover mutilated bodies.
A workman who was injured says the
collapse was SO sudden and complete,
that it was impossible to tell what hap
pened The men at work on the reser-
Voir. however. anticipated trouble, as 4
fortnight ago three arches collapsed
and cracks developed in four others.
The public held the engineers and
contractors responsible for the catas-
trophe.
AS the day passed the Indignation in
creased and serious disorders are
feared, especially on the occasion of the
funerals of the victims, should the au-
thorities undertake to prevent process
.ions passing through the centre of the
city. Already there are incipient dem
onstrations against those held to be re-
sponsible for the disaster. A great
crowd marched to the center of the city
and forced the merchants to close their
establishments as a sign of mourning
The markets are all shut and business
is entirely at a stands,il.
The work of recovering the dead and
injured is hampered by enormous
crowds of angry men and waiting
women.
The estimates of the number of per-
sons injured are increasing. The am
bulance stations are already overlooked
but assistance continues to arrive from
every direction.
The structure which collapsed was a
huge quadriateral. 80 by $50 metres
built on arches. The disaster was due
to the weakness of the supporting pill
lars.
AS the greater part of the debris is
under water. the work Of extricatng
the victims is most difficult. The
bodies were taken Immediately to the
cemetery in order to prevent disturb
ances. Seventy injured persons have
been rescued. but it is feared the re-
mainder of those working in the vicin-
ity at the time of the accident persisted
in the crushed masonry or were as
phyx;ated.
Military guards are posted all about
the scene of the disaster. The govern
tnent has authorized he opening of a
relief fund and at q meeting of the
cabinet it was decided to appoint a
mixed civilian and military commission
to be presided over by Gen. Cerero. to
establish responsibility for the disaster.
An exact estimate of he casualties IS
still impossible. 1t is stated that there
were go men in the lower part of tn :
reservoir all Of whom were killed.

If subject to headache, take Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills when you feel the first indication of an attack, and you will find that they rarely ever fail to stop further progress.
 Pain weakens the nerves, and the longer you suffer, the more frequent will be the attacks.
 On the contrary, if the nerves are relieved of this Weakening influence, the at tacks will be less frequent, and finally disappear altogether
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills contain no opium, cocaine, nor phine or chloral in any form. They are absolutely harmless if taken as directed and will have no other effect, except to drive out the pain.

TO BE OPERATED
 BY AUGUST FIRST.
Through Traffic Over White Riv- CT Route to be Opened
 By That Date.

Reports from Cotter and Yell vile, on the line of the new rail- road through the northern part of the state tell of great activity in the construction of that road. Additional gangs have been put to work on the Oregon flat to the west of Cotter, and everything possible is being done to com- plete the road in order that traf- fic may move over it August l. While construction work on many other roads in the state has been practically abandoned dur ing the cold weather, a great deal has been done on the White River line. It is true that a great deal has not been done in the line of grading and laying steel, but there is an immense amount of preparatory work which has been done during the time when the weather has been so as to prevent outside work. The steam shovels have been thoroughly oyerhauled. The tools have been gotten in good shape and as soon as the weather became so that men and teams could be worked in the open all was in readiness.
 The gap between the north west end of the line and that from aBatesville is rapidly nar- rowing, and ere long it will be closed and the traffic will begin to move.
 It is said that the construction of the line from Batesville to Au- rora is the most expensive under taken by the Goulds since the death of Jay Gould, the father of the present head of the Missouri Pacifc-Iron Mountain. While no official figures are obtainable, it is a matter of general informa- ton that the entire line will cost near $75, ,O00 per mile, and when the formation. of the country is taken into consideration, this statement is considered to be conservative.

SHERLOCK HOLMES AGAIN
A New Series of Detective Sto-
 ries in the Kansas City Star.

ries in the Kansas City Star. Conan Doyle's detective sto- ries, with the marvellous Sher- Il lock Holmes as their hero, have achieved the greatest success of recent years. Approaching this fact, the publisher of Golfers Weekly, New York, induced MT. Doyle to write a final series of the great detectives adventures. Repeated refusals were followed by increased inducements, and finally MT. Doyle agreed to write thirteen stories for $45, 900, or about 60 cents a word. The en- tire correspondence was by ca ble.
 The amount paid by Golfers is the largest ever paid for such work and does not include the right to publish the stories in book form. By special arrange ment with Golfers these famous stories are being printed in the Kansas City Star, one story each week, beginning in the daily edition of Saturday, February II, and in the weekly Wednesday, February 15.
 None of the present popular features of the Star will be cut down or omitted to make room for this remarkable set of stories. Practically the contents of a $1.5O book will be added to the con- tents of the Star in three months without any increase of the sub scription price, 10 cents a week for the daily Star, (morning, evening and Sunday, 13 complete papers a week. and 25 cents a year for the weekly Star.
