Perhaps the number 01 dead is even greater than this. The freight train hit the passen ger with such aa impact that it broke the coupling between - the en gine and the baggage car at the dis tant end c f the passenger, thus forc ing the engine ahead. This fact alone is responsible for saving the lives of Engineer Dietz and Fireman Ely, as the freight passed under neath the paesenger coaches and was wrecked by the debris. More than 40 cars were scattered over the prairie, and to add to the hor rors of the situation, both trains. caught fire and are still burning. There were many beart-rendiog scenes, loose imprisoned in me carB and who were able to move made desperate struggles to reach safety. ,Rossman severely cut his hand in breaking a window through which be, a man and another pas eecger escaped. The remainder of the passengers met death before any assistance could be rendered. .. Particularly horrifying was the death of Express Messenger Jozick. The engineer and firemen of the passenger train at once reported the accident and resident in that vi cinity were attracted to the ecene by the' flames. Upon arrival tbey saw thatTJozlck was pinned down by the wno-tag-1, but the heat was so intense thai approach was cut off. Fina'ly, one daring individual at the cost of his eyebrows and eye lashes, made a rush in and secured hold of Jozick, but could not pull him loose. In the meantime- the messenger had engaged' in conver sation with the spectators and was bearing up'stoicaily under the in tense oaio he must have guttered both from the Aeajtandjheinjuriee. With a sign tne messenger , depart ed this earth amid the sorrowing but helpless spectators. " The bodies of Conductor Brick -nell and Bridge Inspector Robert eon were thrown 40 feet from the scene of the wreck, and were later found 'by searchers. - Conductor Brickoell's watch waB missing, but this loss is not attributed to vand als, as his money was intact. It mas more probable thai it was jerk ed from his pocket by the shock. Three of the bodies were seen'burn iog in the debris, including that of Express Messeuger Jozick. ; The bodies Iwere ' wrapped in blankets and guards were stationed over them. Owing to the distance from the scene of the wreck from the c'.lv limit and the absence of hydrants, the railroad officials made no attempt to save the wreckage from the flames,,and 4O cars, in cluding the two passenger coaches were consumed. : The freight cars which, were laden with lumber, caught fire and burned quickly. Section hands were enabled to save not a little of the lumber, while parts of the rolling stock were seen 4oo or 5oo yards from the scene of the wreck. The track itself was torn up for a distance of several hundred, yard.?, while several tele graph poles were destroyed by ab, which cut off all southern and west ern connections. ry of western railroading.

Engineer Swain reached for the throttle to slop the ' engine, but could not reach it. ' " New York, Feb. 6. A special to the World eays: Lawyers here dif fer as to how the angry Countess de Castellane can carry out her ex pressed purpose to leave her . hus band without a franc. To some it does not appear certain that the Gould property in New York is wholly out of Count Boni's reach, even though materially outside of French jurisdiction. ' Much might depend upon how an individual judge might 'decide. '.' 1 Therefore some lawyers regard it possible that in order to avoid protracted routine and long proceedings upon appeal, the countess and her trustees might find it expedient to allow Count Bod!

It is kept on hand contin ually in our home," says W W. Kearney, editor of the Independent, Lowry City, Mo. That is just what every family should do. When kept at hand ready for instant use, a cold may be checked at the outset and cured in much less time than after it has become jett'ed in the system. This remedy is also without a peer for croup jn children, and will prevent the attack when given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, which can only be done when the remedy is kept at hand. For sale by Graham & Vortham; Washington, Feb. 6. PreEident Roosevelt today withdrew from the senate the nomination of ; W.' C Bristol as United States attorney for Oregon, and then' forwarded to Mr. Bristol a copy of his letter to the Coos Bay Land and Improve ment company, together with that company's letter testifying" to the authenticity of the original. Mr. Bristol will be expected to make a prompt explanation of this transaction, showing what excuse if any, there was in attempting to Jriye fees from both oarties to' a contract wben ne was employed as attorney for one partv. If Mr.' Bristol fails to make a sat isfactory explanation, the president will probably call for his resigna tion and ask Senator Fulton to re i commend some one to take his p'ace. - A Farmers's Letter. Corvallis, Feb. 5, 1906. Ed. Times: : ' --; ' ' I have just returned from a trip through the counties north of . Ben ton and while there -. tried . to talk business over the' telephone lines to Corvallis. On account of so many rubber necks on the line it was im possible. 1 " "' Now I want the farmers and bus iness men in the towns betwien here and. Portland to think abcut putting a commercial telephone line through from Corvallis to Portland, say Btart at Corvallis, go to Mon mouth, thence to Dallae, McMinn ville.l Hillsboro, Portland, then start again at Corvallis, run to Al bany, Salem, Oregon City, Portland, Eugene, and cities south can do likewise and' connect with the-e lines. . Now, my idea of making a start, is for the presidents of each telephone line to. call, a meeting, . talk the matter and. getoveron foot as eoon as possible. The farmi rs and business men of the tow s snould pull together and use,, their time and money . to bring abcut this telephone system. ' This thing of having to pay toll 1 5 Cents several times a day coucts up in a year, it is better to ray for the line, then the charges will only be repairs and switch board, charges until the automatic systim is complete. Then telephone tell from Corvallis to Albany, 15 cents. The first thing we kcow these mil lionaires will get their lines through, then we will pay for our talk, aid wish we had put up our own lins. Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot. Don't wait until it is too late. If evtry farmer and bus inesa man that owned a telephone or used one would cut up fil.s eacb, that would mean considerable mon ey, still more can be raised It need ed.' When these lines are once in, we can eell in Portland and keep posted on prices, and get the whole proht. : start the ball rolling, don't sit down and wait for it to turn up it self. We bay seeds have been pok ing along taking what people pay and paying what ttey ask. Raise tn best there is no matter whether it ha stock, seeds or produce. If it is the best, you can ask a reasonable price and get it: I am looking fur a bright future for the farmers of this valley. There is as much monev to be made here as in tne East if you use the advantages that are here to pick up. Raise more clovers, YetcheB, artichokes; keep more good paying cows. The time is not far off when the electric car and electric light will be in or near most country homes. L. L. Brooks. Lisbon, Feb. 7.
