petrified dinosaur, called; the trice
ratops, which were exhumed . from
their ; geological graves on Hell
Creek in Dawson county. The discov
ery of the prehistoric remains is one
of the greatest in recent years. The
load weighed " 2500 pounds. The
remaining portions will weigh
about the same, and it will take un

A couple ot : years ago -three : of
these petrifactions were found' to

New York Geological service, had
one of them taken out and sent

the trolley coach to the doors. 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

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."

Clark rose briskly when called
this morning and after breakfaet
ascended the steps to the gallows
with great nonchalance. He had
no statement to make, - but left a
letter directed to his mother at
Olympia, who has made every ef-
tort to save ner son s me. a local
minister was with the condemned
man for two hours last night.
Clark was 28 years" of age, the
son of a widow and had' received a
good education. Several years ago
he fell into bad ways. . He killed
Leila Page, his mistress, because
she was about to leave him for
another gambler. He accompanied
the woman to her apartments in
the tenderloin of Olympia. During
the night he cut the woman's taroat
aod smashed her head with an axe.
Then the murderer cut his own
throat and took poison, but recov

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.

operations today is exceeding mea
ger. 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.
"The retreat of Mai -"--General Or-
loffs detatchmftit je-urday was
largely due to the li -- i h which
the force was ass'il d among the
millet fields. -

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. .
Plump cheeks, flushed with the soft
glow of health and a pure complexion,
make all women beautiful. Take a small
dose of Herbine after each meal; it will
prevent, constipation ana help digest

M. btrond, Midlothian, Texas writes,
May 31, 1901. "We have used Herbine
in our family for eight years, and found
it the best medicine we ever used for con
stipation, bilious fever and 'malaria."
