HEAD-ON COLLISION
THREE TRAINMEN KILLED ON
The GREAT NORTHERN.
Also Three Seriously InJured-Crew
of Freight Train Disobeyed Orders
Near Everett, Wash.-Crash With
Passenger Train Followed-Two
Other Freight Trains Just Escaped.

Everett, Wash, Oct. 22.@The fail
ure of freight train to obey orders
resulted in headon collision on the
Great Northern at o'clock Sunday
morning a few miles east of Monroe,
in which three were killed, three seri-
ously injured and others bruised. The
dead:
Freight Engineer j. e. Hudson.
Freight Fireman A. w. Riddell.
Freight Fireman Patrick Sheridan.
The injured: Passenger Engineer
George Lawrence, Passenger Conduc-
tor Wetzell.
The freight was an extra, east
bound. 1t had orders to meet No.
277, the Skykomish local at Monroe.
Arriving at Monroe the crew of the
train believed they had time to make
Sultan, the first station east of
Monroe.
Immediately after leaving Monroe
the train broke down and was de-
layed some time. Just after they Lad
started up the collision took place,
The track at this point is tortuOus,
winding around the SnohOmiSh
Neither engineer could see the other
train until they were within 100 feet
gether with terrific impact. Both
engines left the track. Their crews
stuck to their posts till the last min
ute. That there were not many ia
talities among the passengers is due
to the lightness of the train, consist
ing only of three cars, and that the
heivy freight was going up grade.
Passengers hurried from the coaches
and assisted in extracting the dead
. and injured. Fireman Riddell of the
freight train was found sitting head
less beside his engine. His engineer
Hudson, was not found until late il
the afternoon, his body being buried
under the ponderous freight engine.
Both the engineer and fireman o.
the passenger were badly scalded
Fireman Sheridan died on the way tt
the hospital in Everett. Engines
Lawrence was brought to the hospita
here and the physicians say his burn.
are not fatal. Lawrence has a wifi
and two children in Seattle; Hudson
also has family in Everett. All thu
others were unmarried.
Conductor Erickson of the freigh
train was placed under arrest b.
Deputy Sheriff Brown at Snohomisl
at the instance of Coroner Mum. Thu
coroner will hold an inquest at Sno
homish tomorrow afternoon.
The escape of the freight train
from a disastrous wreck between
Leavenworth and Cashmere was
narrow one, and that the engines di'
not come together is due to the fac
that when first seen by the engineer
the trains were on a level stretch o
track between the two towns. TIL
wheels did not cease revolving unit
the engines nearly touched each 9th
er. A mistake in the train orders o
their misleading is assigned as tn
cause of the blunder.

AN EXPERT ON LAMPS.
Have the Wick, Dry and Just Long
Enough to Touch Bottom-A
Thin Flame the Best.

A lamp expert" in the employ of
a big oil company recently explained
the methods by which kerosene could
be made to burn bright and clear, or
the reverse. Among other things, the
wick was thoroughly dried out, and
just long enough to. reach the bottom
of the oil bowl-no longer. This
sounds unimportant, but it was con-
sidered sufficiently valuable to be
borne in mind in commercial demon
STATIONS of the oil. 1t is always wise
to dry out a new wick thoroughly be-
fore putting it in the lamp, as damp
ness causes sputtering. Another point
this expert laid stress upon was trim
ming the wick so as to give thin
flame; a thick flame burns yellow, a
thin one clear white. Trouble will
also. result from dirty burner, giving
imperfect ventilation, or one twisted
or knocked out of shape, which causes
the lamp to smoke. Few of the minor
annoyances of life cause more dis
comfort than dim or smoky lamp /;
it is quite worth while to use some
thought in avoiding such troubles.

Good welsh Rabbit Story.

and finally hit upon Welsh rabbit.
"Ah, they said, Welsh rabbit!
That sounds good. Wen try little

$50 they ordered the dish and in
due course 1t was set before them.
"But they looked at it in amaze

PIES AND ABOUT BAKING.
a Recipe for Dyspeptic's Pie-The
Right Temperature Tested
Banana for Filling.

DYSPEPTIC PIE CRUST.-One pint
of -four, one egg, half cupful of wa
ter, two heaping teaspoonfuls of but
ter. Cut one tablespoonful of the but
ter into small Jumps and mix with the
flour Break the egg in bowl and
when beaten very light add the half
cupful of water; mix the -four into
stiff dough with this. Roll out on the
baking board, haste half of it with half
of the remaining spoonful of butter,
fold the other half over the basted
side, roll it out again, and so on until
the butter is all used. Try this way
of preparing pie crust and perhaps
after all you can eat pie crust
OVEN TEMPERATURE FOR PAS
TRY.-A brisk oven is needed for. all
kinds of pastry. "A very simple test
will show the right heat. If you will
put a piece of white note paper in the
oven and let it stay five minutes and
then take it out you will know what
the heat of the oven is. A pale yell
low hue on the paper will indicate that
it is too brown color, decided in tone,
shows that the oven. is just right. A
very dark brown shows too much heat
and the oven must be cooled little
before putting in your baking.
To produce the rich brown gloss that
is so much desired in fancy pastry use
the egg wash. An egg is beaten up
with little sugar and a small guam
tity of milk. Brush the pie over with
this pastry glaze just before it goes
! into the oven.
I have been making a new kind oil
| pie recently that my family seems tc
like very much. 1t is made out Of
lemons and raisins. Into the top par

ter, cup of granu1ated sugar, and the
juice and grated rind of a large lemon

No One Wanted Bog 1s.

In no other western European coun-
try is superstition so prevalent as in
Hungary. Quite recently the
chamberlain's Office changed the num-
Der of box 10 in the Imperial opera
house and the Imperial Court theater
to la, because the public objected to
sitting in a box bearing this unlucky
number. None of the rich subscribers
who takes a box for the year wanted
No. 10, and for single performances it
was just as hard to dispose Of
This superstition reaches its height
in medicine. Speaking at the health
exhibition, DR.. Heinrich Grun declared
that in many instances superstition,
and especially local superstition, was
an absolute menace to public health.
In the Austrian hospitals one finds
no block or pavilion 10, no ward 10,
no staircase 10. Very few patients
will consent to be operated upon on
the thirteenth day of the month, and
in this respect Friday, too, is consid-
cred just as unlucky. At Carlsbad,
Marienbad, Gastein and other famous
Austrian cure resorts nobody wants
to begin his cure on a Friday.

THE HOME DOCTOR.

Full deep breathing of pure air is
one of the best possible cures for bilious
attacks, Indigestion, chronic dyspepsia
and, in fact, almost any weakness OF
the bodily system.
To Cure Sore Throat-Take a lump
of resin as large as a walnut, put it in
an old teapot, pour boiling water on
it, put the lid on, put the spout to your
mouth, and the steam will cure the in
flammation.
Never toss a baby; such treatment is
injurious to the BRAIN and many an
attack of commissions is caused by it.
Gentle movement up and down is a diff
ferent thing, delights a baby, and is
good for his digestion.
Four hours is the longest interval
during which children should go with
out food in the daytime, and some
thing, if it is only drink of milk and
a biscuit, should always be given them
the last thing before going to bed.

HEIGHT OF ATMOSPHERE.
One Hundred and Thirty4one Msies,
! Says Scientist, and tie Has
Measured 1t.

One hundred and thirty-one miles
is the height of the atmosphere as
measured by Prof T. j. J. See, who
determines the thickness of the air
envelope by noting the difference be-
tween the time of sunset and the COM
plete disappearance of blue from the
sky.
The moment at which the blue
changes into black can be observed
quite easily with approximate cer7
tainty by the naked eye when the air
is clear, and by trigonometry may be
ascertained the distance below the
horizon of the sun at the moment of
change. BY this means may be cal
culated the height of the smallest H.

bluest tint by the reflection of the

light.
The instant the change from blue
to black is possibly a little difficult
of exact observation but the method
is not more doubtful than that based
on the observation of shooting stars.
The shooting star method gives a re
suit not greatly differing from the
vanishing blue method. The former
gives the height Of the atmosphere
at 100 miles.

Pretty prizes for this sport would
be a basket of tiny bouquets of sum-

A bubble game may also be played
on a long table placed on the lawn
and covered with a wooden cloth.
Ribbon-bound wickets should be
placed at intervals, and the players,
divided into two sides, take turns, by
sides, in trying to blow the bubbles
through the wickets.
Each player blows three different
bubbles for a turn, and scores five
points for every wicket passed. If
the first bubble is blown through the
first wicket, the second bubble is to
be blown from there, the player try
ing to blow 1t through the second
wicket; and the third bubble is blown
from where the second bubble passed
If, however, the first bubble breaks
before passing the first wicket, the
second bubble must try for that goa
before it can pass the second.
