80 miles an hour When the locomo-

had been repairing the tracks, it jump
ed and ran along a hillside, carrying
four of the five cars with it. All of
the cars took fire and burned like tin
der. Not a splinter is left.
BURNED TO DEATH.
Fire started and spread so rapidly
that some OF the imprisoned passengers
were burned TO death. AS the train
left the track is tore open a tank of
oil which ran over the wreckage and
fed the flames. The fire broke out at
both ends of the train, the firebox of
the engine starting the fire at that end
and the stoves in the dining car start

CONDITION DESPERATE.

Canton indicate a desperate condition
of affairs in that city. There are 30.-
/ 600 soldiers within the walls, and
there is great fear that many will
prove disloyal if it appears the rebels
are about TO gain the upper hand.
The rebels are strong in numbers
and have carried on their work of de
struction with fanatical bravery. They
made an attack upon the provincial
arsenal, but were repulsed by the
troops under loyal officers. Many of
the revolutionists were killed, while
some OF them fed to unoccupIed rice
store and built a barricade with hun
dreds of bags of rice. The troops
found great diff Guilty in assaulting the
barricade owing 10 bombs, which the
rebels threw with great accuracy.
80 REBELS BURNED TO DEATH.
Finally the store was set on fire,
while the troops remained at some
distance 10 pick of those who might
seek TO escape the flames. Thirty
or more rebels were burned to death,
while others committed suicide rather
than be taken.
There has been a gathering at Can
ton lately of those opposed TO the
Manchu dynasty. few days ago sew
eral hundred arrived from Hongkong.
The plot to overturn the government
was betrayed and the leaders of the
movement urged the viceroy's body
guard to join forces and kill the Man
chus.
This the bodyguard refused to do,
with the result that when the attack
was made upon the official residence
OF the viceroy a few days ago the rev
olutionists were routed

 Main street, Security Building, to give the ladies of this city unusual values at all times. but there have assumed an extraordinary period of value giving and Saturday of this week will be one of those notable occasions. Shirt waists will be worn this Fall and Winter more than ever, for such is the decree of .'fa ashion.'' D It is a sensible fad" for there is nothing looks 'dressier than a dainty, trim waist on a woman and they may

 think of an offering of taffetas, chif- ions, China silks, messalines to say discount. Isn't this chance worth considering? You will think so if you get a peep at the goods. Read

THE FALL STYLE SHOW-WHAT MEN WILL
 WEAR THIS SEASON

Tn the windows of the Surprise Store in the Security Building on Main street, the writer saw many at tractive suits for men, marked al very modest prices. Interested to learn why and how such stylish clothing could be sold so reasonably at the very beginning of new season he entered the store and asked for the proprietor. The manager, MT. Barker, in reply to a question, said:
 Why we can sell clothing at req able profit because we manufacture all our clothing in our own tailor shops
 We are manufacturing retailers Our garments carry only one profit. There are no middlemen's expenses or profits to pay
 What will be worn this Fall !? Well here's a style that appeals to a great many men who dress well,' and MT. Barker showed coat of gray in a wide vale diagonal weave.
 ':We have this fabric in several shades of gray, tan, brown and blue. Another popular correct style is this'' and he showed a blue suit with fancy woven stripes of blue, self stripe eff feet, they call it.
 ''Now as to the cut of garments for Fall, the coat is a trifle shorter In2n 1Ormerly, semi form ntt1nE ana has lapels and shoulders on the Eng hsh order. Trousers are smaller in the legs, the peg top effect having been losing in popularity for some time.
 ''How do you find business now and how do you think it will be later?'' the writer asked.
 Business is good. Our Fall sea- son is beginning with snap that is very encoura Sing. To date this Sep tember is far ahead of a year ago and I have every reason to believe that we and other concerns in our own and different lines of business will have a record breaking Fall and Winter"
 Read this sales check and you will understand and why I have such confidence in our concern and its business prospects,"
 The sales check contained the fa- nous double guarantee of the Sur prise Store.
 'If any purchaser for any reason fails to please, your money will be instantly refunded without question.

dress. He pointed to Maine as an ex-
ample of the protection OF game. He
said nonresident hunters and gun

Idaho show that thirteen per cent. of
