A THRILLING SCENE

A correspondent Of the Ledger

Austrian cavalry, narrates the follow

On a certain occasion an event trans
pired which lent an Interest mosi
thrilling to the military scene. i,
was at a review, held In Vienna OF
the occasion of the tiftieth anniversar,
of the establishment Of the military
Order of Maria Theresa.
Not far from 80, 900 cavalry were
llde. A little child, a girl, VI nti
mere than four years, standing in the
front row.of spectators, either from
fright or some other cause. rushed on
into the open field just as 3 squadrci
of hussars came sweeping around from
the mail body. They had made tn
detour for the purpose Of saluting tn
empress whose carriage was drawn NJ
in that part OF the parade GROUND
Down came the dying squadron, char
ing at a mad gallop-down directly
upon the child. The mothe- was para
lived as were others for'thers could
be no rescue from the line Of spectat
ers. The empress uttered . cry o
horror, for the childI destruction
seemed inevitable-aad such terrible
dsstruotion-the tramping to dealt
by a thousand iron hooJs!
Directly undsr the feet Of the horse
was the little oue-another instan

Ten thousand voices hailed with
rapturous applause the gallant deet
and other thousands applsused wher
they knew, Two women there were
Who could only sob forth their Vr"t

aud the empress.
And q proud and happy moment Il
was for the hussar when his emreroT

Engineer FIetcher's Last Run.

Grand Junction, Colo. - Engineer
Herbert w. Fletcher of Grand juno
ton, on his last run, before retiring
from the service, was killed outright,
mis- fireman, d. Frederlckson, fatally
hurt. and Brakeman X. c. Darnell,
fearfully injured in collision with a
string of stray coal cars on the main
Iine of the Rio Grande Western near
Thistle junction, short distance west
of Grand Junction, early Monday morn
ing.
Fletcher was driving his train, an
extra freight, at rapid rate of speed,
ignorant of the impending danger,
when it suddenly crashed head on into
the runaway cars. which were not pro-
tected by signal lights.
The locomotive was completely de-
molished and Fletcher's body, horribly
mangled, was found between the drive
wheels of his engine.
The fireman was thrown out of the
cab, the engine overturning upon him.
His injuries are so serious that his re-
covery is not expected.
Brakeman Darnell, who was riding
on the top of the first car from the en-
gine, was pitched to the ground and
one of the freight cars fell upon his
legs breaking and crushing them.
The injured men were taken to the
Salt Lake hospital on relief train.
The track was blocked for several
hours and all traffic was suspended
for that length of time. The damage
10 the rolling stock was estimated at
about $4,000.
Fletcher was thirty years old, and a
member of the Elks and Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers. He sent his
resignation to the company several
weeks ago and announced before leav-
ing Grand Junction Sunday night that
the trip was his last and that when
he returned he intended to retire from
the railroad and enter into business
for himself at this place, after visit
tn relatives at his old home in Kansas.
Fletcher is survived by widow and
two children.

Court Reproves stratton Executors.

Colorado Springs.-A refusal to ap
prove of the annual report made by
the executors of the Stratton estate
was made for the third successive year
by Judge Kerr in a statement made in
the County Court Monday.
The main reason for the refusal is
that the executors have failed to in
clude in their annual reports the names
of those alleged to be receiving free
transportation from the Colorado
Springs 4 Interurban Railway Com
pany, which is one of the three subsid-
iary companies of the Stratton estate.
1t is claimed by the court that at least
160 persons are in possession of annual
free transportation which, reckoned on
a basis Of IS or $6 a month. has been
worth from $4,000 to 100000 to the
estate in the last five years, during
which time the executors have had
charge.
In his statement Judge Kerr says:
IF they have right to give away the
revenue Of the street car lines, / see
no escape from the conclusion that on
the same principle they may also give
away the revenue derived from the
lease of the Brown Palace hotel, or
from the Mining Exchange building or
from the royalties derived from the
Cripple Creek mines or from any other
asset of the estate. If this theory were
correct, then the executors might do as
they pleased with the assets of the
estate and dispose of them as IL they
were their own property"

Destructive Fire at Lander.

Lander, Wyo.-The orchard opera
house, bar and cafe burned early Mon
day morning. involving loss of at
least 10000. about half covered by in
surance.
The Women of Woodcraft gave a
children's masquerade ball in the hall
at night and it is thought that the fire
caught from a superheated flue, as it
broke out at four o'clock, two hours
after the dance broke up.
The Opera House bar boasted of the
finest collection of mounted wild game
heads in the state, one fine freak elk
head being valued at more than $500.
The flames burned SO swiftly and had
made such headway when discovered
that nothing was saved, even the cash
register being destroyed. There was
no wind at the time ana the firemen
managed by hard work to save the ad-
joining buildings. though the tea and
coffee store of ]. r. Parker and the
jewelry store of w. B. Lodge & Co.,
IN the Jackson block adjoining, were
damaged by smoke and water.

v. s. PosroFFIcE BUSINESS.
Recommendations Of the First Assist
ant Postmaster General.

ant Postmaster oen.rsi.
Washington.-The report of First
Assistant Postmaster General Frank
Hitchcock has been made public. The
revenues collected through the post
Offices during the fiscal year 1906
amounted to about si6s.000. 900. a gain
of more than 81 ,00O. 900. and the report
states that this growth was continued
in 1907, when the aggregate was $685.
0O0, 1000. In order to meet this continu-
cock makes an appeal for larger ap-
propriations.
"The present policy of reappointing
presidential postmasters who have con-
Quoted their Offices to the satisfaction
of the public and department has re-
suited in decided benefit to the SER
vice." says Mr.. Hitchcock. He adds
that about sixty-five per cent of the
presidential postmasters have been re-
appointed.
Increased salaries for various
classes OF employees of the depart
ment are recommended. In order to
relieve third class postmasters of the
necessity of paying for assistants out
of their salaries, a recommendation is
made for an increase to 100000 of
the allowances for that purpose.
Thirty instead of fifteen days annual
leave is raised for postal employees.
An extension of the city delivery
service to smaller towns than are in
cluded under the present law, is rec
commended. Under the amendment to
the law he suggests free delivery
would be given to over 1.400 towns
that do not now enjoy that privilege.
The total number of postmasters Of
all classes appointed during the year
was 3,135, as against 1885 for 1906.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear Of the Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi-
tion that he was compelled to give up
good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and 1 hardly think
there was an organ in his body that
was not affected.
Il told him felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give 1t up.
1T was struggle because Of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it.
and then it was easy to leave of
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at
last he was new man altogether, as
a result of leaving off coffee and TAX
ing up Postum. Then l began to
drink it, too.
Although I was never as bad OF
as my husband, l was always very
nervous and never at any time very
strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before
began to use Postum. Now weigh
lis lbs. and can do as much work as
anyone my size, think.
Many do not use Postum because
they have not taken the trouble to
make 1t right I have successfully
fooled great many persons who have
drunk 1t at my table. They would
remark, You must buy a high grade
of coffee One young man who clerked
in grocery store was very enthusias-
tic about my coffee When I told
him what 1t was, he said, why I've sold
Postum for four years but had no
idea it was like this. Think I'll drink
Postum hereafter"

The extraordinary popularity Of fine
