rHtaaenger In Terrible Trolley Colllalon
Do Not Cry Out.
Pelham, N. II., Sept. ".-Through a
head-on collision todny two electric
cars, each running, it i. aaid, at a rate
of more than 20 mile, an hour, four
ierwns were kllli'd and 1IJ were to aert
oualy injured Unit they are under phy
sicians' rare and several of these are
expected to die. Aa there were 70 pas
Hungers on the two curs, many others
received cuts and minor wound, which
lid not prevent their going to their
homes.
The accident occurred on the line
which runs through this town between
Lowell and Nitshua and one of the cars
which was coming from the latter city
was nearly tilled with people on their
way to a summer resort. Tbe colli.'on
was due, according to tbe official, ol
the road, to a miininderstanding of tbe
starter's order, by the motorman of tbe
cur bound fc r Nashua.
Tbe car .tarter endeavored to rectify
the mietake by shutting off tbo power
and trying to recall the Nashua bound
tar, but it failed.
1 he cars met en a curve, ncithar
motorman seeing the approaching car
until too lute to avoid a collision.
Neither was thcru time for the ptssen
Kits to eecape by jumping when the
car. came together with a force that
threw the west-bound car direc ly upon
the forward part of the other, crushing
the top of the car down upon the pas
sengers and pinioning those occupying
the Hint three seats in the wreckage.
Persons who witnessed the collision
stated afterward that it came so unex
pectedly that it seemed some minutes
before the passengers realized wbatbad
happened. All were silent and the
paseengeis made no outcry, appearing
dazed by the shock. Near the acci
dent were a number c( campers, who
at once rushed to the scene. With
crowbars and other instrument, tbe
wrecked roofs of the car. were pried up
and the imprisoned passengers released.
Not one of the passenger, on tbe two
car. escaped injury of tome tort, al
thoogb a number were not seriously
hurt.
IS LP TO COLOMBIA.
L'nltcd States Not Working (or New Ca
nal Treaty-Wanta Old Agreement.
Washington, Sept. 9. The state de
partment today received a routine me
aage from Mr. Iteaupre, the American
minister at Bogota, acknowledging tbe
receipt of Secretary Hay's cablegram of
August -'), stating that the Washing
ton government would enter inte no
engiiKflment which would hamper tbe
president s freedom of action under the
law. This was all the cablegram stated
although it has been the basis for spec
ulative reports about Mr. Beaupre.
ideas of the Bogota situation.
Tbe state department', attifde i.
one of dignified patience. No indica
tion ol its course of action in tbe event
that the Colombian congress reject, or
amends the treaty will be forthcoming
until the time for the exchange of rati-
8cations expires, September 22. It i.
known at the state department that the
Colombian congress is already regret
ting its hasty action in rejecting the
treaty, but the state department will
sugtiest no remedy lor the mistake.
Once and for all the state department
has announced that the treaty as ap
proved by the Washington government
was ratified by the American senate.
It i. up to the Bogota government tc
ratify that identical treaty, if Colombia
desires an isthmian canal. The state
department regards all the report, a. to
the connection of this government or
even it. interest in the unrest on the
isthmus as too trivial for consideration.

Institution, says the prospects for at
tendance are the brightest In Its his
tory. The new academic and adminis
tration building, provided for by the
last legislature, is being rushed to
completion. It will be a fine structure
and will cost about $8000.
School District Bands Bought.
The state land board has completed
Its sixth purchase of school district
bonds, the last purchase being $8500
of bonds of school district No. 1, Jack
aon county. The bonda bear 5 per

Bid PLANT AT COTTA08 DROVE.
To Work the Largest Cinnabar Deposit
In America.
A 300-ton quicksilver plant Is going
up on the Black Butte mines near Cot
tage Orove, In which G. B. Dennis, of
Spokane, Is Interested.
'rour years of uninterrupted devel
opment, said Mr. Dennis," has ex
posed the most expansive Imbedding
or clnnlbar ore on the American con
tinent If not In the world. The work
represents an expenditure of nearly
1500.000.
"The Black Butte quicksilver mines
are located In Lane county, some 18
miles from Cottage Grove. During the
four years 12,000 feet of work bas been
done, which includes a vertical shaft
to the 1000-foot level. At each 100-foot
station a drift running on the foot wall
has been driven either side of the shaft
the full length of tbe pay shoot, 227
feet, and at each level the ledge has
been crosscut for Its full width of 80
feet. -
'The average of the ore Is about 16
in quicksilver or MO a ton, and there
is now blocked out more than $2,000,
000 In quicksilver. Tbe present 40
ton smelting or distilling plant Is be
ing enlarged to a 300-ton capacity and
the mine equipped with a complete
electrical waterpower plant, furnish
ing power and light, which places the
property In position for working upon
a very large scale."
Brick Supply Equals Demand.
The force of workmen bas complet
ed the burning of a kiln of 300.W0
bricks, and now the supply of material
is sufficient to keep construction work
tn progress at the peaitentiary, reform
school and aslynm. At each of these
places the new buildings and addi
tions are tinder construction. Super
intendent James says that although the
contract for the construction of an ex
ecution chamber at the prison does not
require its completion before January
1, the building will be ready for use
before that time, and, so far as he can
see now. it will be ready before" the
date of any banging now in prospect.
(food River Apples Contracted.
Joseph A. Wilson, manager of tbe
Hood River Applegrowers' Union, has
lust consummated a 120,000 apple sale.
The Davidson fruit company, of Hood
River, is the purchaser, and has de
posited $1000 to bind the sale. The
price for fancy four-tier Spltzensbergs
Is $2 a box; yellow Newtons. $1.80, the
apples to be delivered at railway at
picking time. Before the recent or
ganization of the union, buyers were
paying $1.45 a box for Spitzenbergs.
This Is the largest fruit sale ever made
In Hood River.
Much Building at Ashland.
It Is estimated that tbe value of
building Improvements just completed,
or now under way, In Ashland will
reach $30,000, and the high tide of
building activity in that city for the
past two or three years promises to
be equaled before the close of the pres
ent season. A number of new business
buildings have recently been complet
ed and many new and substantial resi
dences are now In course of construc
tion throughout the city.
Sales of School Land.
Though sales of school land have
practically ceased, the receipts of the
land department, are undiminished.
The monthly statement, made by Clerk
George G. Brown, shows that for
August the collections were $30,036.11,
or over $1000 a day. This is equal to
the normal receipts while school land
was selling. The money now coming
in Is composed chiefly of deferred pay
ments on sales heretofore made.

Rehor and Hulac of Omaha, Neb.,
have bought out Kerr & Housler's
meat market and cold storage plant at
McMinnville. They are making ar
rangements to carry on an extensive
pork and meat packing business. Mc
Minnville was their choice, due to ex

LIVE IN ANARCHY.
Moras Have No Oovernmcnt, Says Gen
eral Sumner.
Portland, Sept. 8.--'"I thins the
most perfectly form of anarcby existing
in the world today is to be found among
the Moros, the Malay tribe which in
habits the island of Mindanao in the
Philippines," said General 8. S. Sum
ner. General Sumner bas jn.t returned
from the Philippines, where he was in
command of the southern district ol
Luzon for m :re than year and was
later transferied to the command of
tbe wild and impenetrable jnnglee of
Mindanao. He is now on hi. way to
as.nme command of the department of
tbe Misfconri with headquarter, at
Omaha. "I do not think the public
appreciate, the great work that the
military ba. accomplished," said tbe
general. "In Mindanao, for instance,
we have built highway, which afford
easy access from tbe seashore to tbe
interior lake around which dwell more
than 60,000 Moros, the anarchist, of
whom I speak.
'These people are Mohammedan,
and have been for come 400 year.
Tbey have absolutely no sy.tem of gov
ernment and the individual, of tbe
tribe, pay only tbe slightest deference
to their dattos or nominal rulers. Nor
have these dattos any chief among
them. When tbey combined to offer
resistance to the American forces, tbey
each acted upon hi. own responsibility.
Tbey bad no central head. Each datto
bossed his own men and took no order,
from any quarter. Tbey till tbe land
they occupy, but it seems to belong to
tbe whole community as a body and
even the crops are gathered by the vil
lage at large.
"Tbe Moros have no property law.,
and tbe ability to acquire possession of
any article 1. the only requisite for its
acquirement. A Moro thinks it per
fectly justifiable to kill anybody in
order to get anything. He thinks no
more of killing a soldier to get his bay
onet, than he would think of taking
away a bone from a dog. It i. genuine
anarchy."
BULQARIA AT CRITICAL POINT.
Increasingly Threatening Aspect la the
' Balkans Affect All Europe.
London, Sept. 8. The situation i.
' ritical for the Bulgarian government,
telegraphs the Sofia correspondent of
the Times, not only on account of Mac
edonia, but also because of the internal
political complications.
Tbe V ienna correspondent of the
Times report, that in various compe
tent qnartres tbe danger of a Turko-
Bulgarian conflict i. reported to be
graver at tbe present moment than at
any previous juncture. It i. believed
in V lenns he adds, that if war break.
out, it will be less on account of Bul
garian sympathy with the Macedonian.
than because tbe Bulgarian fear the
untoward consequence, to their Town
country of the return en masse of tbe
desperate, disappointed insurgent lead
ers, who would swamp Bulgarian pub
lic I He.
The Increasingly threatening aspect
of affairs in the Balkans seriously affect
all the European capitals. What is to
be done in Macedonia is anxiously dis
cussed on all side.. The censorship i.
active at present, for the only new.

is not mentioned in any Constantinople
dispatches received here.
OLD BATTLESHIP IS SUNK.
Experiments Being Made With laventtoa
Said to Hold Vessels Up.
Portsmouth, England, Sept. 8. The
old battleship Belle Isle was torpedoed
bere today and sank at her mooring..
tor the purpose of the experiment a
section had been constructed on tbe
port side of the Belle Isle, representing
tbe side of a modern battleship. Tbi.

When the vessel was struck a large
column of water enveloped her. She
rolled beavily and then settled down
with a list to port. Tbe Belle Isle will
be raised for further experiments. It

bottom is extensive.

ed by the official charged with the
