TWENTY LIVES END ANCgRED.
Runaway Engine Rushes Passengers
Toward Death But Dies" Before
Crash With Freight,

Twenty passengers, mostly women,
on the Milwaukee road, had a miracu-
lous escape from death last Friday
noon.
An engine was standing on siding
at Brodhead while the crew was at
dinner. An Italian laborer opened the
throttle of the deserted engine and
when he saw that he could not stop it
he leaped from the cab.
The passenger and baggage coaches
of the Albany train were standing in
front of the depot at the time. The
wild engine dashed from the siding,
crashed into them and pushed them
along in front of it. The baggage car
was locked so that the passengers
could not get into the cab to shut
off the steam. For six miles they
dashed madly out of Brodhead with
heavy freight train coming toward
them. But the freight was held On
siding at Juda and the runaway en-
CINE died before they came together.
The fireman disobeyed orders, it is
said, when he left the engine to get
his dinner before the engineer returned.

DIBD.-At Juneau, Alaska, Friday, Septem Der 4, 1908, Laura, beloved wife of J. Alfred Johnson, a native of Kristiansund, Norway, aged 36 years, I months and 8 days.

 The deceased has been resident of Douglas for number of years, most of which time she has been, sufferer from chat most insidious of diseases, consumption. Day by day she, grew weaker and less able to withstand it's inroadg, and when death came it brought the only relief the sufferer had enjoyed for many weary months. As a wife and mother she was patient and loving, as a woman and citizen she won a warm wlaoe in the hearts of all who knew her. Besides the husband, two little sons, one but babe of a few weeks, are left to mourn, as they will as the years go by and they learn what it means Go have lost mother. The funeral services were attended by a large mum Der of friends and neighbors from Douglas Island.

Someone seems to have a grudge against the water supply of the town of Douglas. Some time ago the car csss of dog was found in one of the pipe lines, it having been washed down from the main tank, and no longer ago than last Monday the screen that pro- tects the mouth of the Lawson creek Hume was stuffed full of sticks and rubbish. If these things are done by a man, be should and probably will get rough handling if he is ever found >out. However, 1t may only be the work of boys. If so it istime for the parents to get busy, and teach their children that they should let the water works and all parts of 1t strictly alone. The health of the town and each and every person in the town depends on the supply of fresh, pure water. Tell the children to keep their dirty little fingers out of it. A careful watch will be kept from this on and the first per son caught meddling with the water supply in any way will be given taste of the punishment which Che law pre- BcHibes for such acts. Let this be 8 warning.

The Western Federation

The various trials against members of the Western Federation of Miners for participation in dynamitings and murders have come to an end without securing a single conviction; and yet the Western Federation itself has been fully convicted in the minds of the people. This was fully brought out by the manner in which the news of the recent acquittal of Steve Adams, and of tho death of Geo. Pettibone was re- ceived. Both of these men had, accord ing to the decision of the juries, suffer ed great hardships, having been con- fined for very loug period in jail without being convicted of any crime; and yet the public isewssting no sym pathy over either case. The public feels that these men were mixed up in 8 bad business, and while it does not question the justice of the courts in deciding that no conyicting evidence was presented against these men, still it considers the men themselves, and all their associates, as social outcasts- men who have forfeited all respect. The strength of this feeling has been felt by all those interested in the Western Federation of Miners. Their recent meeting in Denver was very stormy session and it is evident that "the house is divided against itself" ," One party, and that stronger, is for cleansing the Union forever of Hay
 wood and Haywoodism; another is for clinging to the old methods and ann bitions; between the two is Mover, who seeks now to hide his well-woru bloody shirt of anarchy under the mantle of conservatism. How the struggle will end we do not venture to prophecy, but we feel assured that the Western Federation of Miners, as a power for evil, has had it's wings closely clipped. It is to be hoped that the Federation will rise from it's disgrace and become 8 power for good in the land. A con- dition of non-unionism has probably passed forever from our mining dis tricts, and so the best thing for all concerned is that there should be a good union which will zealously safe guard the interests of the miners, with out attempting to usurp the preroga- tives of the mine owners. If the Vest ern Federation has the mobility and the honest strength to shake off it's old habits and seize this new opportunity, it will always be a power and benefit if not, some other union will undoubt- edly supplant it in the Western mining distrlcts.-Mining Science.
