Ok 7 PIANOS BABY ONE SOLID SORE Tried Everything without Relief. Rest Night or Day. Cured by Cutlcura Remedies. No My baby, when two months old, had a breaking out with what the doctor called eczema. Her head , arms, feet, and hands were each one solid sore. I j tried everything, but neither the doctors nor nny- uungeieeaia neranygoou. We could get no rest day or night with her. In my extremity I tried the Cu ticuba Remedies, but I confess I had no faith in them, for I had never seen them tried. To my great surprise, in one week's time after beginning to use the Ccticcra Kemeijieu, the sores were wcil, but 1 continued to use the In solvent for a little while, and now she is as fat a babv as vou would like to see, and as sound as a dollar. I believe my baby would have died if I had not tried Cuticura Rem edies. I write this that every mother with a baby like mine can feel confident that there is a medicine that will cure the wost eczema, and that medicine is the Cuticura Remedies. Mas.

Action WHICH HAS Resulted in the Offi . cial Determination of tub Best Bakiso Powder. The act of Congress authorizing the exam ination of the baking powders has resulted in a most unprecedented compliment to the Royal Baking Powder. The tests were made in the Government Laboratory at Washing ton, and the official report shows the Royal is superior to all others iu leavening strength being over thirty per cent, above the aver age. The report also shows the purity of the Royal Powder and the wholesomeness of its ingredients. This is probably the highest compliment of an official character ever paid to a proprie tary .-.rtiele, though no niore'than the great army of baking nowder consumers would ex pect in behalf of their old friend and favor ite. The result of the official examination', as thus determined, will, of course, make the "Royal"' the standard for Government purchases. A SUC CE3SFUL REMEDY FOR RHEU MATISM.

Four Persons Injured and Three Killed by a Special Train on the Oregon Pacific. One of the most shocking accidents that ever occurred on the Oregon Pacific railroad, happened last Sunday morning. While a special train was going around a sharp curve west of Boone's, on its way ' to Ya quina, it ran into a hand car containing eleven persons, as follows: Jake Devine, section foreman, S. H. Pruett, wife and two children, Late Manning, theeompany's black smith, wife and five children. The engi neer only saw the hand car about 100 feet ahead. He applied the air brakes and sand, and stopped the train in about 150 feet, but not before it struck the hand car. At the sight of the train the section men applied the hand car brake, but before the people could get clear of the track the train was upon them. Mrs. Pruett was caught be neath the wheels of the locomotive and the entire train passed over her body and cut ting in to, and mangling it beyond all recog uition. The oldest boy of Lafe Manning was instantly killed, his neck being broken. Manning had his leg broken while trying to save one of the children and Mrs. Manning received serious internal injuries, aud an other one of Manning's children was in jured. Mr. aud Mrs. Pruett's two children were frightfully mangled, the little girl who has since died, had both of her lower limbs broken in several places, and one foot crushed so badly that it had to be am putated, besides several serious wounds about the head and body. The boy also had his feet crushed so that both legs had to be amputated. His shoulder blade and arm was broken, he is lying in a critical condition, but at last accounts the chances of his recovery are more favorable. Mr, Pruett, who escaped uninjured, is crazed with grief and it has been reported that he has threatened suicide if his remauing child died. Two of Manning's little girls escaped without injury, and Devine was only slightly bruised. Immediately after the ac cident the wounded were placed on the train and taken to Yaquiua and Drs. Rich and Davis were summoned, and also Drs. Smith aud Warren, of Newport, aud the injured were carefully aud promptly attended to. The funeral of Mrs. Pruett and her little child took place Tuesday at the residence of her father, M. L. Trapp, at Chitwood, and was largely attended by many sympa thizing friends. The scene was most af fecting as the mother and child -.v.,, e laid to rest in the same grave and Rev. J. C. Booth pronounced the benediction. The grave was covered with a perfussion of flowers received from friends in Albany, Corvallis, Philomath and other places. The funeral of Mr. and Mrs. Manning's child took place at Yaquina. Tl'he following is a synopsis of the testi mony taken before the coroner and his jury of some of the witnesses to the accident, which occurred on June 5th by the Oregon Pacific Company's special train running into a hand car, on which were the following persons: S. A. Prnett, section foreman, wife and two children; Lafe Manuintr. company's blacksmith, wife and four children; Jake Devine, section foreman. Yaquina, Or., June 5, 1892. In the matter of the accident in which the death of Mrs. Effie Pruett and Virgil Manning occurred. Mr. L. P. Manning being duly sworn tes tified that he was on the hand car with his family and family of S. A. Pruett going np a short distance above mill No. 4, when rounding a short curve near Mr. Boone's place he discovered a train coming from op positedirection. He applied the brake on hand car and tried to get away from train with his wife and child. He further stated that train was running about 20 miles per hour when signaled, and considered acci dent was unavoidable under the circum stances, and he attached no blame to any of the employees of the R. R. Co. They adjourned from Mr. Manning's house to the passenger car, and the next witness, Mr. S. A. Pruett, testified in sub stance as follows: That there bad been a cow killed the day before and he thought he would go up aud take a look at it, and he would make the trip pleasure and business combined, -and, therefore, concluded to take his family aud invited Mr. Manning aud his family and Mr. Devine to accompany him. They were going along ou the hand car at about the usual speed that hand cars are propelled on the track. .When they got near the eight-degree. J curve, just west of Boone's, all of'a sudden they looked up and discovered the locomotive close to them; that they put on the brake and stopped the hand car suddenly.. His wife became very much frightened and he tried to pacify her, but he could not, and she jumped off in front of the car and fell and the hand car ran on to her. He jumped off iu front of the hand car and tried to save his wife, and trying to do so he lost them alL He could not attack any blame to any one. Jake Devine, section foreman, swore that he was ou the hand car at the eight-degree curve just west of Mr. Boone's, all of a sudden he looked up and saw the locomo tive, when it could not of been over one hundred feet from them, and' thought when he first saw the train it was running about twenty miles an hour. Instantly the brake was put on the hand car, stopping it sud denly. Mr. Manning threw his wife off and got off himself, and his oldest girl, he thought, jumped ofE Mr. Manning, and his wife looked' and saw their little child in front of the cars, ho tried to hold his wife back. Both Mr. Manning and his wife went to save the little child, but the loco motive ran on them both, knocking Mrs. Manning down and injuring her severely and breaking Mr. Manning's leg. The sud den jar fcora. stopping the baud- cap thiew Mrs. Pruett off the hand car in front,, and the front wheels of the- hurtd- eat rflwowf her, and that Mr. Pruitt jumped off tried to save his wife:. that tha ttxtt titanr him off the ear and that be tried to eater hold of one of Mr. FrttettV efi&ftenv but failed to do so. and that her fett ervhrs side that lie had his hand out trying tOr. cue Mrs. Pruett ivhen the engine strOe&tliqi hitud car. He thought that it eonld mlf have been more than three or tour setond'd from tlie time they saw tire locomotive unt til it struck the hand car,, and when she di$ strike it the locomotive was not running; more than six miles nil hoiir. He said there? was no blame to be attached' to any one prtn ning the train. C. H. Laughettil, engineer1 on tlie special train, testified that, aa ho approached the;1 cisht-dezree curve, fust west of Mr. Ilumn' .. ' r he had just tallowed his engine1 and- tfiap she was running at the rate of about eigb teen miles an hour, when ronmimo tfin curve 150 feet off he discovered a hamf cap on tlie track He instantly supplied the air brake to the emergency point and 83ndeJ the track, but it was impossible- to stopr tiro engine in the short distance before- it strttefe? the hand car, and when it did strike it the engine was runniug at about six-miles am hour. John Ross, fii emao, testified as follows That he saw the engineer suddenly apply--ing the air brake ; lie looked out of the winv dow and being on the outside of tlie curve,-, ho reached well outside of the window, a it was difficult for him to see it. He srt Manning and his wife standing by tire track. The train struck a hand car, and when they' did strike it, the train was running at aboiXJ six miles an hour, E. W. Bee.nan, conductor; testified! that he was setting looking out of the side dbof of the baggage car and he suddenly fejj ; the air brake put on, and looking, ottt kq saw they were stopped in front of In& ear, and heard a child cry. When- tliey were rounding, tire point before tiio ah- rWnko was put oft he thought tfVey were rttnhJrgt about eighteen mites an how., He got eL immediately and started to ftrense trW- tit tle boy fastened to the harKf ear aikf the rest of the crew and other on tStf helped to remove (he wounded" fttttr nkS airs as quickly as possible; and" the train immediately went on to Yarraina tO'secdYo medical assistance. The engineer batU whistled for cattle on the track a few seev onds before. The jury being called npon for a ocisfon after due deliberation rendered the follo ing decision : We, a jury empanneled at Yaquina, 0. to inquire into the cause of the death of Mrs. Effie Pruitt, younat child ami Virgi Manning, After examining the bodies am, witnesses, find they came to their death by a railroad collision near bridge No. 11, O".

The students seem to like President BI088 veiy much, bat they also stand a lit tle in awe of him, they will probably' get over this after awhile: . Last Saturday the college- balP clu-Ii played with the Albany team at Lyons andi suffered their first defeat.- The boys- ditH their best, but the fates and the tall timbeix were against them. Denman- ami; Tenney cliff were the battery during the first :tbreev innings of the game. Denman- pitched strong game, but a few hits and nnmeneun errors in the third inning brought in several runs. At the beginning of the .text inuingc Palmer weut into the box.
