MILLINERY OPENING.

We call attention to the ad of Edith
Atkins, of Copperhill, in this issue.
In the new store are offered things you
rarely find in towns of less than 10000 to
$4,000 people, and well worth a trip to
Copperhill to see.
Attractive prices are offered too, and we
bespeak for her liberal patronage from
this end of the Basin.

Union Pacific Motor Train Drops
Through Bridge.

Randolph, Kan, Oct. 1S.-Thrown
headlong from their seats on their fell
low passengers as Union Pacific mo-
tor train dropped through bridge
near here and upended in Fancy
creek, sixty-five persons fought for
their lives as the waters of the stream
submerged the passenger car.
Ten bodies have been recovered
Snd estimates of total casualties were
placed at sixteen dead and more than
two score injured. Only four escaped
unhurt.
Most of the dead, it was believed.
were drowned, although several of
the recovered bodies gave evidence
that death had been outright when the
train struck the bridge abutment.

heavy LOSSES IN
The DARDANELLES

London, Oct. 16.-Announcement OF
the great losses of the British forces
at the Dardanelles follows the sensa.
tional speech in the house of lords of
Lord Miner, who Is said to have char
acterized the expedition as hopeless.
He suggested withdrawal Of the troops
from Gallipon peninsula and their
transfer to some other front.
The figures given out do not tell
the full story of what 1t has cost the
allies to attempt to force the Oar
danelles. In addition to the British
casualties are the losses of the
French, concerning which no reliable
information is available. The British
total, however, bears out dispatches
from correspondents on this front,
who have described the loss Of life as
frightful. In some instances, accord
ing to these advices, trenches and gull
leys have been choked with the dead.
Turkish losses also have been de-
scribed as very heavy.
