Custer County.

Custer county, Idaho, offers vast inducements to settlers an
capitalists. It's beautiful scenery, its enterprising people, its var
led resources, and its brilliant prospects not inaptly commemorate
the name of General Custer, whose dashing, romantic, yet produc,
tive career has become a part of our national history. Thirty-fve
years ago, when placer mining was in its prime and quartz mining
in it's infancy, the territory now embraced in its confines was
known only to Indians and an occasional party Of prospectors
travelling to or from Montana. TO them a wilderness, to the max
ers of maps it was unexplored In 1862 pacers were actively
worked in Stanley Basin, on what is now our western border and
in 1869 a few venturesome men found rich ground on Loon creek
In 1870 other placers were discovered and yielded handsomely, but
until quartz claimed attention, five years later, the region now
forming Custer county was practically unknown. From 1875 to
1879, the fame Of its rich mines spread mountaineering capital
lists and increasing its population-until the following year, by
since that time, until today it has a population of 5000 people,
and has the following towns

and stock-raisng is pursued to a great extent, viz Big Lost iv-

Custer county embraces in irregular outline about 5000 square
miles, ard it is as large as the State of Connecticut, and larger
than Delaware and Rhode Island together; situated in central Ida
no, it is reached by the Oregon Short Line railroad on the east,
and this road will probably be extended to Chalis next year. The
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone company have a line from Black
foot to Challis. The resources of Custer county are found ia its
mines and its agricultural and grazing lands.

infant had been killed
 The ill-fated train runs only ou Sunday for the benefit of many Washingtonians, who either have country places on the line or go to their relatives. It leaves Freder- ick at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and is scheduled to reach Washing ton at 6:25 o'clock.
 As soon as sthe news of the wreck reached this city all ambulances available, with as many physicians as could be assembled, were sent to the scene of the disaster.
 c. w. Galloway, superintendent of Ohio stated tonight that it was impossible to determine the cause of the wreck. He said:
 "We have on this division the most modern block system. Just what occurred We are unable at this hour to say, because of the confusion incident to the collision and of the caring for the dead and injured We have been unable to consider the probable causes. We have not yet interrogated the op- orators, and until we can do so we cannot be certain as to the cause of the collision. An inquiry will begin tomorrow, probably in Balti-
 
 are. We shall make the inquiry as rigid as possible and shall give the results of it promptly to the public through the press.
 Fog Prevailed at Time of Wreck.
 The dead bodies were found lying beside the track for considerable distance. A dense fog was prevail ing and made objects perceptible but a few feet ahead It was inn possible at first to determine the exact extent of the wreck. Those passengers in the forward coach were but slightly bruised Those who heard the groanss of the dying and wounded did what they could to give aid. A number of passen- gers walked to Brookland, three fourths of mile away.
 The moment the first of the sur vivors reached Brookland general call was sent out for doctors and ambulances. Dr. R. W. Frischorn, Brookland, responded and were taken to the scene in automobiles.

Little Rock, Ark. Dec. 31.-Fos- tus q Butt. ex-senator from Car roll county, representing his district in the senate of 1905 and convict ed to bribery, arrived in the city yesterday morning and will today deliver himself to the Supreme Court at the regular sitting of that body, preparatory to being de- liyered to the warden of the pen itentiary to serve out his two years sentence. Senator Butt it resigned to his fate and states that he IS ready to begin the long two years confinement behind prison bars in order that the law may be yindicat- ed. He protest his innocence in tlik most vigorous terms and has only words of contempt for Ruben R. Adams. of Sheridan, Grant. coun- ty. the man who testified before the grand jury and later in the cir cult court that Senator Butt paid him a bribe of S100 to influence hls vote on the state capitol appropria- tion bill. Senator Aoams says he gave this money back to Butt when he found that the grand jury was Investigating the matter. but Sen ator Butt declares to this day that Senator Adams told an untruth when he testified to this effect. The proceedings which brought about the conviction of Butt are familiar to all readers of the public press i'll Arkansas. The Supreme Court, fif
 tlen days ago. by unanimous de
 eision of all the judges affirmed the judgment of the lower court in the case and the conviction stands.
 Butt Will Work As Others.
 Officials of the penitentiary state that the ex-senator will have to take his place in the fields and on public works like the other con- victs It was thought at first that Butt will probably be given some clerical position in the penitentiary, but such is not likely to be the case and he will wear the garb and do the work in the cotton fields like the others. By good behavior, Sen atOr Butt can greatly reduce his sentence and will not have to serve out the full two years.
 Reception Rendered Him.
 Before he left his home at Eure- ka Springs to come to Little Rock, Butt was rendered a farewell re- ception by the ladies of Eureka Springs. The reception was largely attended and attested the popular ity of the convicted man. It is stated that Senator Butts wife and children bear up we'll under the blow that has been dealt them.

Washington, Dec. BOA appal- ing disaster occurred tonight at z o'clock on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad at Terra Gotta, about three miles from this city in which about thirty-five persons were killed and more than sixty injured, some of them so seriously that they will die.

More than 200 passengers were aboard the iilfated train. The railroad officials late tonight were unable to assign any cause for the collision.
 Ploughed Through Entire Train.
 One member of the crew of the passenger train. who hobbled into a drug store a half hour after the accident, said: 3I can't tell how many people were killed. It was awful I don't even know just how it happened.
 "The freight engine went through the entire train, and if looked to me as if everyone was killed in the last coach and many in the first. The freight engine must have run past a red target. I cannot eX- plain the accident in any other way. I can hear the groans of the dying ringing in my ears now"

TnttOOed Stilt Walkers.

The first traveller who visited the
Marquesas Islands Gin the Pacific
OCEAN, found them peopled with a
magnificent race of athletes. says the
Washington Star. Their clothes lasted
until death. for their costume was the
skin with which their Creator covered
their bodies. These islanders beautiful
ly decorated themselves with tattooing,
from the crowns of their heads to the
tips of their toes. AS they are an enor
nous race this was no small undertake
ing. Their chiefs were chosen on ac-
count of their size and several Of them
have measured feet 10 inches In
height.
These people are the greatest silt
walkers in the world. This seems
strange, for they are big enough with
out the aid of stills. On stills they
execute performances which would
drive the stilt-walking clown at the
New York hippodrome out of his mind
with envy. On them they run races,
jump. dance and great mark of polite
ness In the islands is for one stilt-wnlk-
ing savage to trip another one up. One
should say down. for the tripped per-
son usually comes down with Il venge-
ance.

DENATURED ALCOHOL
BILL FINALLY PASSED

Washington, May 26.-After consid-
cradle debate the senate passed the
house bill relieving denatured alcohol
from the internal revenue tax.
The discussion turned largely upon
the effect of the legislation on the
manufacturer of wood alcohol, which
Senator Aldrich asserted would be
greatly injured. Senator Hale criti-
cised some of the provisions of the ag-
ricultural bill as manifesting too
strong tendency towards paternal-
ism.
The only amendment to the measure
in the senate was one providing that
the decentralization provided for shall
be done upon the application of any
registered distillery," in denaturizing
bonded warehouses especially desig-
mated or set apart for denaturizing
purposes only.
