WRECK ON The Mp.
Two men KILLED NEAR NORTH
YAKIMA, SUNDAY.
Burlington Train Going 90 Miles An
Hour Runs Into an Open Switch-Wil-
Liam Gordon Sticks to Post With Fire
man-Meyers Dead-Engine Whistles
Distress Signals-Two Cars Ditched.

North Yakima, Wash, April u.s.
While running at 20 miles an hour past
Selah station, six miles northwest of
North Yakima, the Burlington passen-
ger train over the Northern Pacific
railroad was wrecked, Engineer Viii.
Liam Gordon of Ellensburg, and Fire
man Meyers of Pasco, being instantly
killed, while Theron R. Pratt of Sc
attic, mail clerk, and William Brogan
OF Seattle, mail weigher, were slightly
injured. That many passengers on the
heavily loaded train were not injured
or killed was due to the presence of
mind and heroism of Engineer Gordon,
who lost his life in the effort to save
those under his care, when he shut off
the steam, threw on the air-brakes, and
even placed the emergency brake, in
the 400 feet the train ran from the time
1t struck an open or defective switch.
Exactly how the accident happened
Will probably never be known.
Whistles Distress Signal
According to Conductor G, f. Church
Ill, who was taking tickets in the day
coach when the engine left the track,
the train was going about 20 miles an
hour. Suddenly the air brakes were
set, the engine whistle gave the short
distress blasts and second later there
was crash. Engine No. $50, pulling
the train, had left the main line, gone
into the switch just east of Selah, jump
ed the track, and been dumped over
an embankment about FIVE feet high.
Forced by the momentum of the heavy
train, the mail car had swept by the
overturned engine and had turned about
a quarter over, and the baggage car
had followed. Both cars were badly
damaged.
Engineer Scalded by Steam.
After giving the warning signal En-
gineer Gordon had attempted to leave
the cab, for his body was found be-
tween the boiler head and the tender,
the tender having been forced slightly
ahead and to one side. His arms were
extended upward as if to hold back
the great tender and water tank which
had crushed out his life, and in the
crushing had broken valves that let
scalding steam onto his body.
The body of Meyers was found pinned
under the tender, his arms outstretched
and the railroad men believe that he
tried to leap from the cab, fell, and
was crushed by the tender as it swung
to the side of the switch.
Mail Clerk Thrown in Car.
Mail Clerk Pratt was thrown from
fend to end of the car, his clothing torn,
his shoes ripped, and he was badly
bruised. Not one passenger was in
,jured.
Engineer Gordon leaves a widow and
-four children at Ellensburg. He had
been in the employ of the Northern Pa
cifc for about 20 years and was about
AZ years of age. The fireman was
young unmarried man. AS soon as the
bodies were removed they were brought
to North Yakima and the inquest held.
Under the direction Of Superintend-
emit De Force, Trainmaster Shannon,
ROadmaster Scow and General Agent
Hill, the wreck was cleared away dur
ing the afternoon for passage of freight
trains, including two North Coast Linn
tied trains

CONGRESS TO END IN. JUNE.
Adjournment by That Date Expected
by Leaders

Adjournment by That Date Expected
by Leaders.
Congress will adjourn before the mid
die of June and possibly by June l, it is
believed by President Taft and the ad'
ministration leaders.
Taft Calls Conference.
Fearing an unfavorable outlook for
the legislative program that was put
forth at the beginning of this session
of congress, President Taft called
number of the lawmakers in to see
whether something could not be done
about it.
The conclusion reached was that the
president would get three, possibly -four
of his measures through. The railroad
bill, the postal savings bank bill, the
anti-injunction bill and perhaps one Of
the conservation bills; that is all that
congress now seems likely to do before
it goes home to patch up political
fences for the fall campaign.
Punish Insurgents.
A tacit agreement has been made
among the commanding leaders of the
regulars in the republican party with .
double object in view. The first object,
it is understood, is to punish the IN.
surgents by allowing the next house Oh
representatives to be democratic; the
second, which is based more or less on
assumption, is to strengthen the repuO'
lican ranks for 1911 by hampering the
democratic house until it can accom-
plish nothing. That is the latest po'
litical story.

the WARNING

When the kidneys are sick they give
unmistakable warnings that should not
be ignored. By examining the urine
and treating the kidneys upon the first
sign of disorder, many days of suffering
may be saved. Sick kidneys expel
dark, ill-smelling urine, full of brick
DUST sediment and painful in passage.
Sluggish kidneys cause dull pain in
the small of the back, headaches, dizzy
spells tired, languid feelings and FREE
quently rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only; they cure sick kidneys, and
rid the blood of uric poison. If you
suffer from any of the above symptoms
you can use no better remedy.

Some of Its Curious Old Rules and
Regulations.
The first United States mint a. Phil
adelphia was naturally a very unpre-
tentious affair. The material for coin
age was secured from abroad. There
was found much difficulty to get any
one of experience to operate the coin
age, and the salary list of the first
mint employees was: David Ritten-
house. director. $1,000 per annum;
Tristram Dalton. treasurer, $1,000;
Henry voight, coiner. $1,000; Isaac
Hugh, clerk. 1912.
The regular coinage of copper began
in 1893, silver in 1874 and gold in 1875.
The following curious extracts are
taken from the mint rules and regula-
tons of the eaIy days:
1.-The allowance under the name OF
drink money is hereafter to be discoEs
tinued.
THE operations of the mint through
out the year are to commence at
o'clock in the morning.
"Christmas day and the Fourth Of
July-and no other days-are estaD-
lished holidays at the mint.

Besides the Philadelphia mint. which
is now established in palatial quarters
at Seventeenth and Spring Garden
streets. there are minis at San Fran

CROSS PURPOSES.

SwYN HOUGH Iris gave such warlike
counsel, it would be doing her
M a grave injustice to assume that
her gentle disposition was
changed because of the days suffer
ings. The erstwhle light hearted
schoolgirl and youthful mistress OF
her uncle's house had been subjected
to dynamic influences. The ordeal
through which she had passed, I'M
scathed bodily, but scared in spirit,
had left her strung to a tense pitch.
OF course in this present clash or
emotions Iris little understood what
her advice really meant. She was APP
pealing to heaven rather than to the
force of arms.
oddly enough, the only professional
soldier present condemned her project
roundly when it was mooted.
