- OR seven days the snow fen
on Longs Division. ninety
miles. Trains were stalled
and all Of the wires were down.
Snow piows ana linernen hur-
ried out in force. and the work
Of clearing tracks ana repairing
lines would have gone on expedi-
tiously, but that within twelvo
hours the sky grew overcast and
snow again commenced to fall.
Longs Division was ninety
miles Of grades. with chasms and
slopes and precipices and sheer
walls scattered lavishly On either
side.
The second storm lasted nearly
a. long as the drst. and piled up
tremendous drifts. TWO moro
days, ana the division traffic was
back to it's old schedule; but be-
fore that time an awful discovery
had been made. Train No. ~,
three Pullmans, an observation
car, two day coaches and an ex-
press supposed 70 contain q good
deal OF money disappeared.
It had entered the division on
the last day cf the first storm,
fter the wires were down, and
nay have gone five miles or fifty.
No one knew. But in the fifay
we're more than q hundred de-
clivities down which . train might
have plunged.
Experts from the road began
to search, with mountaineers and
hunters, and any who cared to
risk ravine ana decliyity explora-

by, month, two, with not q
trace Of the lost train.
Among the searchsrs none were
more eager or more persistent
than q well.known clubman Of an
Eastern city. He searched him
self, ana had = dozen Of the best
hunters and mcuntaineera search

the train was the girl he hoped
to marry.
Then one day q reporter. talk
ing with . conductor, found out
that MiIly Horton, the girl. whose
father was q millionaire, had
fallen In love with and engaged
herself to q college man. The
father had openly favored the
clubman's suit, not for money,
but On account OF family, which
the millionaire lacked, and the
girl had apparently acquiesced.
The college man, graduating,
had gone into railroading and
raised himself from brakeman to

his party had given mp the search
for the lost train, and by that
time the public had got down
very near to the truth. The So

than love. The hired searchers
had not been paid after the first

under promise Of a munificent

of congress were held before a design
was finally adopted on June 20, 1882.
At that time the design, the work of
Will Barton of Philadelphia, was
agreed upon and the main feature of
the work was the eagle, the bird of
freedom.
"The seal as adopted was officially
used for the first time on September
16, 1882, when it was stamped upon a
commission giving power to General
George Washington to make all ar
rangements with the British for the
exchange of prisoners of war.

IT'S A MISTAKE
Made by Many Glenwood Springs
Residents

Many people in misguided effort
to get rid of kidney backache, rely on
plasters, liniments and other make
shifts. The right treatment is kidney
treatment and a remarkably recon-
mended kidney medicine is Doan's
Pills. Glenwood Springs is no excep-
tion.
The proof is at your very door. The
following is an experience typical OF
the work of Doan S Pills in Glenwood
Springs.
T. (. Romig, Laurel street, Glen
wood Springs, says: "Several years
ago I was doing some dtching and a
sharp stitch caught me through my
kidneys and doubled me up. couldn t
straighten out again without help. For

cines and wore plaster, but I couldn't
