The car stopped at the crossing and ac cording to the rules the conductor looked ahead on the track and wav ed bis hand to the motor man to in dicate that all was clear. The mo- torman started the car forward. At that time the Wabasn train run ning at a high rate of speed was in sight, but probably half a mile away. - Under ordinary conditions the car had plenty of time to cross the track. ;When it was half way across, the powerin the feed wire was turned eff and the car stopped. An mstint later tne train hit tne trol ley car. The coach was literally re duced to splinters and some of the passengers were thrown 20 feet The locomotive was partially wreck ed. Motorman Cook jumped, but wa3 fatally- hurt by flying splin tere. ' As quickly as possible the engin eer brought his train to a stand t-till , the telephone was used to call all available ambulances and doc tors to tne scene, i be train crew did all in its power to help those caught in the wreck.- J. R. Burbaok, conductor of the train, said: "The trolley car seem ed suddenly to lose the power and come to a dead standstill right on the crossing. We were moving at the usual rate of speed. The crash was deafening. People were hurled into the air. The engineer applied the brakes quickly, but possibly too late. We struck the car jast back of the middle."

WE DO NOT OFTEN Gif&NGB Our ad., but our goods change hands every day. Your money exchanged for Value and Quality is the idea. . W. H. Harrison, Cleveland, Miss., writes August 15. 1902; "I want to say a word of praise for Ballard's Snow Lini ment. I stepped on a nail, which caused the cords in my leg to contract and . an abscess to rise in my knee, and, the doc tor told me that I would have a stiff leg, so one day I went to J. F. Lord's drug store (who is now in Denver, Colo.) He recommended a bottle 01 snow liniment. I got a 50c size, and it cured my lee. It is the best liniment in the world.

One report was receive! here tonight from Tckio to the effect that General Kuropetkio, with all troops which were on the north side of the Taitze river, is now marching as rapidly as possible toward Mukden. The report adds that this follow ed the operations of General Oku, who succeeded in cutting off Gener al Stakelberg and that the latter's army is now surrounded on the south side of the river and hopeless ly lest. Liao Yang is still in flames, ac cording to this . same source, and desperate fighting has followed an attempt ot that part of the Russian army which has been defending it, to cross the stone bridges and join Kuropatkin's command. The advance of Kuroki toward the railway line was so effective and pressed so hard that the fight ing finally became a parallel race, Kuropatkin being compelled to ad vance toward Mukden as rapidly as the Japanese general attempted to outflank him and thrust his forces between Kuropatkin and that point. The report contains no estimate of how many men are in Stakel burg's command, but it is presum ed they number nearly 50,000. The opponents have been so close today that the Japanese were actually against the Liao Yang walls. The fighting wan continuous and des perate, but report has it in Tokio that" the Japanese were success ful. only in this, that they prevent ed the Russian rear guard from joining Kuropatkin's retreat.
