Victims CREMATED
RESULT OF TERRIBLE WRECK
NEAR PUEBLO, COLORADO.
Employee forgot to deliver an order
and two passenger trains came to-
gether during a binding storm
Wrecked trains soon was ablaze and
passengers burned alive.

In a binding storm which made 1t
almost impossible for the trainmen to
see ahead. two passenger trains col
lided headon at a point on the Denver
& Rio Grande road midway between
Portland and Adobe, 25 miles west Of.
Pueblo, Friday morning. Immediately
following the collision several OF the
cars burst into flames and were con-
sumed, a number of the passengers
burned to death. over 80 others
were injured, but of these none were
fatally hurt.
The wreck was accompanied with
horrors exceeded only by the Eden dis
aster, which occurred August z. 1904,
on the line of the same railroad. The
trains we're the California ex-
press No. 3, westbound from Denver,
and the Colorado-New Mexico express
No. 16, eastbound from Leadville and
Grand Junction. They met on a sharp
curve. They we're less than 200 yards
apart when the engineers discovered
that a collision was imminent.
The cause OF the wreck is attributed
to the failure Of an employe to de-
liver an order which changed the meet
ing place of the two trains.
While the exact number of lives lost
in the Adobe wreck will never be
known, It will undoubtedly take rank
among the great disasters in the his
tory of railroading.
In other wrecks there has been
greater loss of life, but none has been
productive Of greater horrors.
Conservative estimates on the loss
OF life place the number Of dead at S6
Seventeen charred, mangled and un
recognizable bodies lie in lne Pueblo
morgue, two others are in the morgut
at Florence, several other persons are
known to be dead and possibly a score
Of bodies were burned to ashes.
There was not single entire body
recovered from the wreckage. with thu
exception of the enginemen, who, al
though horribly mangled. had not beer
reached by the fierce flames which
swept through the wreckage.
Bits of charred flesh and piles o
bones we're all that indicated that
holocaust had occurred, but traineI
eyes picked out the pelvic bones from
the charred masses, and from these
was seen that, so far as the scare
had progressed, no less than SO huma
beings had persisted.

UPS AND DOWNS
or BASEBAI [
A Winner Today, a Loser Tomorrow,
Is Story of the
Game.

The shrewd manager of the Phila-

graduated on the crowds he was draw
ing and the money the club has been
making. To this Connie Mack an
swered:
We need to get it now, for in base
ball you never can tell VIXEN the tide

No truer remark was ever made.
Baseball success is entirely matter

The Boston American team this year
is furnishing the best example that
could be cited. In 1903 Jimmy Collins

downed Pittsburg for the worlds
championship.

The Bean Eaters lined up in 1905
with the same men. but they starts,

have been even worse, and the long
string of defeats has taken all the
heart out of club that was once the
admiration of the country.
If the Boston Nationals were made
of the right material and had the prop
er liberal management, the present
would be wonderful opportunity for
the older league outfit, but the Tenney
team as at present constituted will
hardly get more than a small portion
of the following that should come to
it as result of the disfavor with
which the Hub now regards the Amer

BLOOD CELLS.
IN HEALTH
IN DISEASE.

Man is millionaire many times over In
the possession of blood cells. Woman is
not quite so rich, for scientists have proven
that the normal number of red blood cells
In adult men is five Million in women four
and half million, to the square mlllimeter.
The normal cell is not absolutely round
in health, but, in disease, becomes ex-
tremely irregular in shape. Every one can
be in perfect health and possess the mil
lions Of rich red blood corpuscles if they
only know how to go about it. DR.. R. v.
Pierce, consulting physician to the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buff
falo, N. Y, advises every man and woman
to prepare for long life by observing ma
lures laws. In the first place, if your
digestion is faulty, aud the food you
eat is not taken up by the blood and assim-
Hated properly, you need tonic and diges-
the red blood corpuscles; he believes in
going about this in natures own way.
Years ago, in his active practice, he found
that an Alternative extract of certain herbs
and roots, put up without the use of alco-
hol, would put the liver, lungs and heart
into fuller and more complete action. This
medicine he called DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. By assimilating the
food eaten, it nourishes the blood, and, in
stead of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the per
sons blood takes on rich red color and
the corpuscles are more nearly round.
Nervousness is only the cry of the starved
nerves for food, and when the nerves are
fed on rich red blood the person loses
those irritable feelings, sleeps we'll at night
and feels refreshed in the morning.
