CARS BLOWN
FROM TRACK
FEARFUL ACCIDENT NEAR BoUL.
DER THE DAY BEFORE
CHRISTMAS.
ON THE c. & S. RAIL way
ONE PASSENGER KILLED AND
MANY OTHERS SEVERELY
INJURED.

Denver.-Colorado & Southern pas
senger train No. %, which left Denver
at 1920 o'clock Tuesday morning for
Fort Collins, encountered a hurricane
at Shanahan hill, twenty-four miles
north of Denver, which lifted two
coaches and a baggage car into the air
and hurled them into ditch thirty-five
feet from the track.
J. C. Garrett of Longmont died at s
o'clock last night in the University
hospital at Boulder from injuries, and
fourteen others were seriously, though
not Trtally injured.
Following is list of those most
badly hurt:
Robert Sharp, Boulder, right leg
crushed and injured about body.
Mrs. w. A. Morrow, 1850 Tennyson
street, Denver, internal injuries and
fractured rib.
Mrs. C. NJ. Shiveley, Boulder, cuts
and bruises.

Denver, head and scalp wounds.
John Bottingher, 344 Gilpin street
Denver, head and body bruised.
George Chiles, express agent, Den
yer, bruised about legs and body.
The wreck occupied one mile north
of Marshall on a steep down grade,
while the train was travelling at high
speed. and that the number killed and
injured was not greater is considered
miraculous. The storm struck the
train broadside and lifted the coaches
from the trucks. The windows were
smashed and car seats torn from
their fastenings and pinned the unfor-
tunate passengers in the wreck. The
wind was so powerful that those who
escaped injury dared not move lest
/ they be blown away.
| The train was in charge of Conductor
| Jackson NJ. Greiner. Engineer A. H
/ Scott Immediately uncoupled the en-
4 gine and made dash for Boulder, five
miles distant, for help.
A relief train was made up and
rushed to the scene of the wreck, car
rying with 1t all the available physi
clans and several nurses from the hos
| pital.
Several automobiles and hacks hur
ried to The scene and the injured, as
soon as their wounds had been tempo
rarily cared for, were hurried to
Boulder and taken to the University
hospital.

Bribe Goes to Charity.

Denver.-District Attorney George
Sudger has turned over the sum of
$3.50 to the Old Ladies' Home and the
Visiting Society for the Aged Poor of
Denver. This is the sum of monew al
legged to have been paid by Herbert and
Daniel Sullivan of Cripple Creek to
Morgan for his vote for Adams in the
Adams-Peabody gubernatorial contest.
In the midst of the gubernatorial
fight Morgan alleged that he had been
paid $3.50 to vote for Adams. A com
mittee of the Senate, headed by Sen
ator Ballinger. was appointed to inves-
tigate the charge, and it was reported
that it was unable to substantiate Nor
gans assertion that he had been
bribed. Later Morgan was expelled
from the Senate.
At the time of his confession of al
legged bribery Morgan turned $3.50 over
to the district attorney to be used in
evidence in the prospective criminal
action, and it has been held by him.

sone Striking Beer Figures.

The London Home Magazine gives
some interesting statistics regarding
the consumption Of beer. With Iev-
cry tick of the clock sc los. worth Of
beer yanishes down the worlds,
throat; every minute f410 worth dis
appears; every hour the world pays
&24,651 for its beer; and every day
1t, swallows the yearly income OF
5000 m%iddle-class families in nearly
E600, 900 worth of the brown bev-
erage." Stupendous as these figures
are, especially when we consider the
worlds beer bill for a year amounts
to 2216, 100000; the figures which
represent the quantity consumed are
almost incredible.
The beer which Is consumed
throughout the world in a single
year would make a lake six. feet
deep, three and three-quarters miles
long and one mile wide, or 2S19
acres in area. In this vast lake OF
beer (says the writer) we could
easily drown all the English-speak-
ing people, to the number of 120,-,
O00, 900, throughout the entire
world; or we could give a beer bath
to every man, woman and child at
the same time in the entire CONT.
nent of America; while all the peo-
pies of England, Scotland Ireland
and France could find standing room
on its bed.

Avoid Monotony.

Let all those who wish to be on
sidered good cooks avoid monotony
above all things. 1t, is quite possible
to starve in the midst Of plenty, that
is to say, we may eat, day after day,
of a substance which is very nourish-
ing in itself, and yet derive 10 bene-
fit from it.
Strive, then, to. have variety, and
strive to have each dish as tasty"
as possible. . ''.'' r..,
Eggs for instance can be cooked
in a great many, ways, and yet some
peoples sole idea Of cooking eggs Is
to boil them, or fry them, until they
are leathery and indfgestible.
1t is not merely to pamper the ap-
petite that I would urge you to make
everything as tasty as possible. n.
Taste, and a variety of tastes, are
necessary to the digestion as well as
the enjoyment Of food. ''E .''l''
1t has been satisfactorily proved
by scientific experiment that no man
can be properly nourished on taste
less food. The taste and smell OF
food cause the digestive juices to
flow more ab%undantly. = New York

Gun-Making il China,

A correspondent of the Lahore
Civil and Military Gazette visited one
of the Chinese ~arsenals, and thus put
down his impressions: Finally we
were taken-among other places
to the great Chinese arsenal, some
way beyond treaty limits, where
every form Of munition of war, from
rifles to forty-fve-ton guns, was Icing
made. We wandered through a will
derness of factories, covering acres
Of ground, and were shown the whole
process Of manufacture. And there
were powder factories and other in
stitutions not far away, which We had
no time to visit.
THAT was, perhaps, the most sig
nificant experience of all. You may
have seen gun factories before, but
have you seen a place turning out
great guns by the dozen, and ma
chine guns by the hundred, perfect
in design and construction, run, from
coolie to head mandarin, entirely by
Chinese, and with only q couple Of
Englishmen engaged solely in con-
sultative supervision? Have you seen
a roomful Of Chinese draughtsmen
and designers, in pigtails and blue
gowns, solemnly, stolidly and assidu-
ously getting out the drawings for a
new gun? 1t is a sight that fur
nishes food for thought. And as you
leave you ask yourself the question:
If these men can make the guns,
why may they not work them some
day."

Bad Girls Warned.

Magistrate Gallagher pointedly
talked at the Eleventh and Winter
streets station to a group Of thirteen
fashily dressed girls and told them
of the effects of q vicious life. They
had been arrested on Thursday night
for d%isorderly behavior on the streets
or in Chinese restaurants In the Ten
derloin. Three Of them, who were
in short skirts, said that they had
run away from their homes in Mama
yunk and Roxborough to enjoy life
in Chinatown. 4
Pointing to an intoxicated woman,
who was brought in covered with
mud, her face bleeding and raving
from the effects Of drink, the Magis-
trate said: do you see that? Is
not that q horrible sight. That wo-.
man Is not yet twenty-five years old.
You girls are starting On the down.
ward path ever younger than she
started. II you do n~otschange Your
course, YOU will be like her before
you are twenty"
The younger girls in the party
shrank away from the drunken wo-
man and then fell to crying and
wringing their hands. They pleaded
to be allowed to so home, saying they
would never come back to China
town. They were handed over to
their parents.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Their first letter threatened us both.
You answered it, and, contrary to
your custom, you forgot to keep a
copy of what you wrote. Since then
there has been no question of me,
but only of you. Oh, what a fool l
was not to have thought Of it be-

AS usual, VINEYARD laughed, but
the colonel held to his point.
GAS usual, Win, my boy" said the
old fellow, slowly, during the last
two years we have been very good

trying circumstances. We have gone
through a good deal together, and
we have shared everything. I think
it would have been right and fair
in fact, you must see for yourself
that I have a claim to share this ad-
ditional danger with you as we
shared the others" Il

THE GREAT DESTRoYEE
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTEMPERANCE.

r"F - .E
a Lesson Too Painful For Any Pen
to Picture-Last Resort Of a
Desperate Woman as She Met
Her Husband in a Saloon.
II IN not Mrs. Nation; I have no
Ratchet; I Inn not crazy"
These words came from the lips Of
a Lewis woman, as she met her hus-
band face to face In a hotel barroom
the other evening, says the Lewis
Pilot. They were directed to the bar
tender and the loungers, as the for
mer handed the woman's husband
a glass of whisky.
She continued: THAT man has not
done a days work this winter, ana
I am worn out trying to support him
and the rest of the family. I want to
know If something cannot be done
to keep him from destroying his own
life and starving his .family?"
The woman was thin and pale. Her
lips q~uivered as she spoke. Her frail
body could hardly stand the strain
of the unfamiliar environment. AS
she finished the little girlat her side
burst into tears, the bartender took
back the whisky, the abashed hus-
band stood with bowed head, one by
one the loungers left the room. Pres
emily the bartender, gazing at the
poor woman, solemnly vowed that
the man should not drink at his bar:
again.
1t was a pathetic scene; it was the
last resort of desperate woman. AS
she left the hotel with her husband
and the little girl there was.a lesson
too painful for any pen to picture,

Few things OF a statistical nature
are Of keener interest than the story
of the development of the mining ini
dustry in Alaska in the last decade,
1t is attested roughly by the increase
IN the value Of its annual output
from $2,400,000, in 1895, to more
than SIS 100000 in 1905. The pfo-i
neer miners of the Yukon could not
afford to handle gravel averaging
less than SO or SIS to the cubic
yard. In the same district good
wages can Row be made, even by
crude methods, in extracting gold
from pay streak averaging less thai
SIS to the cubic yard.

that the Germans spend ;3,000,000,-

Lamp ChimneYs.

There is not the slightest doubt
that lamp chimneys and globes may
be tempered in such a manner as to
make them less susceptible to break
age. It is not to the interest of the
makers to have tham last too long,
but the housekeeper can lengthen
their days by putting them, when first
purchased, into a pan Of cold water.
Then place the pan on the stove and
let stay there until the water boils.
Take it off and leave them in the va
ter until it is perfectly cold. It is
astonishing how strong this simple
method of tempering makes the glass
and how much longer they may. be
used. .
