COLORADO WRECK HORRORS.
Many Lives Lost in a Collision Near
Florence.


Pueblo, March ia wreck, accom-
panied with horrors exceeded only by
the Eden disaster, which occurred
August 1904, on the line of the same
railroad, resulted from a head-on col.
lision of two passenger trains, on the
Denver e Rio Grande railroad, four
miles east of Florence, Colo, at an
early hour this morning The trains
were the Utah-California express No.
3, westbound from Denver, and the
Colorado New Mexico express No 16,
eastbound, from Leadville and Grand
Junction. They met on sharp curve
and were less than 200 yards apart
when the engineers discovered that
a collision was imminent. It is known
that the engineer of the westbound
train put forth every possible effort to
bring his train to standstill, but his
efforts were fruitless and although he
succeeded in checking the speed of
the train, the crash that followed was
beyond his power to prevent, and he
went to his death with his hand on
the throttle, faithful to his charge
This much is vouched for by his fire.

remaining in the face of sure death
jumped and saved his life. OF the con.

eastbound train, it can only be stated
that they died at their post, for nc

BOOST FOR
LEWISTOWN
Prominent Men Of This City Tell State
Of It's Present Prosperity and
Bright Future.
PLANS OF THE RAILROAD.
Their Coming Will Mean Much fol-
the Metropolis Of the Inland
Empire.

While visiting in other parts of the
state last week, two Lewistown citi-
zens took occasion to do little judic-
ious boosting for their home town.
Rudolph Won Tobel gave the following
interview to the Helena Record:
The New Railroads.
Lewistown is splendid little city
with a. most substantial basis, and that
is but harbinger of what is to come.
II is surrounded by rich natural re.
perity.
Naturally, our people are greatly
interested in the coming to our Sec
tons of new railroads. The way I
look at it is this: 1t seems reasonably
sure that We will get either tine Bur-
lington or the Milwaukee, and if we
get one we are sure to get the other.
That the roads will penetrate our
county admits of no doubt, and think
the forecast. is reasonably certain
one that Lewistown will be on the map
OF both, either by main or branch
lines
There will be quite an amount Of
building done in Lewistown this year
both of business and residential struc.
lures. There have been several very
lerge realty transactions in our coun-
ty this year, and at steadily increasing
prices. These, however, are more
than justified by the actual conditions
We are experiencing no boom, just
simply steady, normal growth.
Yes, l regard the outlook for Fer
gus county's future most encouraging,
as the mines are producing more gold
than ever before, and our agricultural
products are steadily being increased"
While in Missoula inspecting the
University of Montana as member
of the state board of education, Prof.
Busenburg was given an opportunity
by the Standard correspondent at that
place to stand up for Lewistown." and
the professor stood up to the extent
of about column. The Interview is
as follows:
Prosperous Times.
Eyes, / am anticipating prosperous
anG growing times for our community,
and that, too, in the near future" con-
tinutd Mr.. Busenburg "Lewistown
is the natural center of a large area of
country, rich in it's natural resources,
the same as M1ssOula, and the town
must grow and advance with the de-
velopment of the surrounding country.
That the country is advancing rapid
ly is shown by a large number of land
sales being made and the scores of
filings on government lands. There
are approximately 100000 acres of
land in Fergus county. Of this, about
2,250,000 acres have been appropriate
ed or reserved and of the amount re.
naming there is fully 100000 acres
OF fine agricultural land open for set
Element under the various land acts
Immediately adjacent to Lewistown
We have the Rock creek bench lands
which last year yielded more than
100000 in wheat, and, comparatively
speaking, only garden spots were till
ed. Most of the grain is raised with
ont irrigation. as the annual precipita
ton here is 10 inches, but the country
is also well watered from other sour
ces. Last month there were ten large
ranch sales made close to the town

His Usefulness.

Of prairie %schooners, the leader Of
which announced that he and his fell
low-emigrants were going to found q
town, having everything that was
needful and nothing that was unneces-
sary. "We won't have any waste" he
said; "there isn't a person in our party
who won't do some important duty in

pointed to an old and feeble man with
a bent back and a long, thin, white

a New Vice.

To such as desire to take a short

ing" makes a special appeal. Ameri'

hand with strong "corn brandy" takes
two vigorous shifts and his whole ner'
vous system is paralyzed in a moment
After a varied period Of unconscious
ness he passes into a sleepy fatigue
resembling that Of opium. The o
drinkers claim that the liquor thus
takes the shortest possible cut to the
brain and saves the tardy, roundabout
Journey through the stomach.
The greatest drawback to the sue
cess of the undertaking is the untimely
sneezing, which is very annoying ano
disappointing to weak and timid De-
AS it is only safe to try the pures1

tremely dangerous to experiment VIII

Eggs For Invallds.

Eggs contain q great deal Of nourisll-
ment, and form one Of the most conye-
nient modes of administering food to
invalids.
To boil an egg properly and artisti-
cally, place a saucepan half full or
water on a bright fire, wait till 1T boils
and then put in the eggs and allow
them to remain three and a half min
utes.
Poached eggs are made equally SIM
ply. Boil some water in q saucepan,
then break an egg into 4 teacup, being
careful not to burst it, and place the
teacup in the saucepan of boiling
water. The egg should then be care
fully placed upon a piece of toast or q
slice of bread aid butter.
Buttered eggs are almost as easily
prepared. Put into a stewpan two
ounces of butter, break four fresh eggs
and add a tablespoonful Of chopped
mushrooms or t%ruft1es, half a teaspoon
full of salt and a little pepper. Stir it
on the fire continually. Have ready
some slices Of buttered toast on a hot
dish, pour the eggs on the toAt and
serve hot.

Thinrs Worth. Remembering.

When burned or scalded apply the
white of n raw egg. 1t is soothing n
cooling and if applied at once will re-
lieye the pain and prevent infamma'

When bitten by any kind of an insect
try an application of dampened salt
bound over the spot. 1t will usually
relieve at once.
When picking and preserving it is
we'll to use granite or porcelain lined
ware, as all metals are liable 20 be at

If a tablespoonful Of vinegar is put
into the lard in which doughnuts are
