A RUNAWAY TRAIN
Beats the Record for Acci
dents of the Kind.
THE CARS THROWN ONFALL SIDES
Moving Snow by Dynamite In Dakota
- A F uel Famine Threatened
lu Alany Towns.
Missoula, Dec. 1. A runaway train
onfqualed in the annals of railroading
in Montana occured this afternoon about
4 o'clock, east of the Mullan tunnel on
the east side of the main range of the
Rocky mountains.
The fatal train was an extra freight
wh'ch left Missonla early this morning
in charge of Conductor John McBean.
At EUiaton a change of engines was
made, with John Flynn at the throttle
of the fresh engine.
The train passed through the tunnel
all right, and began to make the descent
down the winding mountain grade, be
set with deep rock cuts and high wind
ing trestles. The distance from the tun
nel to the first station, Butler, is about
seven miles.
Before the train went far it got out of
control and began the descent with
lightning rapidly. Long before Butler
station was reached the speed and roar
of the train were equaled only by a cy
clone. The train broke in two, throwing cars
right and left. The frouf part of the
train was ditched in the Butler yard,
smashing the cars into kindling wood.
Engineer John Flynn of Helena received
a broken leg and was badly injured.
Reports say nothing about the fireman,
but it is supposed he was badly injured
or killed outright.
Conductor John McBean of Missoula
was badly injured. d Jarboe, one of
the brakemen, is reported missing.
A wrecking train with Superintendent
E. J. Peareon, VV. S. Clarkson, master
mechanic, and Mrs. McBean, wife of the
injured conductor, left for .the scene of
the smash-up at 7:45 p. m. Reports are
meager. At division headquarters it is
claimed no one was killed, but all the
traiu crew were badly buit.
DYNAMITING THE SNOW DRIFTS.
A Fuel Jtunloa Threatened la Mauy
Dakota Town.
St. Paul, Nov. 30. News from the
great blizzard has been meager today.
So far as learned only five livea have
been lost. Of course nothing has yet
been heard from the remote distances
beyond the reach of the telegraph, and
It may be another week before it can
be positively. slated that there has -not
been more serious loss -of life.
The streets of the snowbound Dakota
towns are being cleared as rapidly as
possible. The extremely cold weather
Las frozen the snow until the immense
drifts have reached the proportions of
gigantic icebergs, and dynamite ia being
used to blast these out of the way, or
. dinary picks and shovels being unable
to make any impression on' them.
Stock on the ranges has undoubtedly
suffered heavily, and a fuel famine is
threatened in many of the smaller
towns in the Dakotas. This is by no
means a trivial matter where the mer
cury is ranging from 15 to 30 degrees be
low zero.
The railroads are beginning to get
their trains running again. The Great
Northern got its first train into St. Paul
froth the snowbound districts this morn
and the Northern Pacific reports that its
- Mn Grocer: we can't get
along without you. Here
are thousands of people who
want good tea, and tons of
Schilling's Best for them.
Will you say to your
customers for us: "Here is
a tea that I am sure of. I'll
give your money back if you
don't like it"?

do not anticipate any further trouble and
expect to have trains running on sched
ule time.
DEATH OS- WALLA WALLA PIONEER
Had Lived in the County for Abont
Forty Tears.
Walla Walla, Wash., Nov. 30. A.
S. Van Horn, an old pioneer, died in the
hospital in this city last night of con
gestion of the liver. He was born in
Pennsylvania in 1833, crossing the plains
in 1849, and settled at Salt Lake. He
came to Walla Walla in 1859, and was
one of the best known pioneers in east
ern Washington.
Joe Twyman, another old-timer, 75
years of age, was fdund dead in a house
five miles west of the city this morning.
He lived alone on what is known as the
Coe farm. As he had not been seen for
several days, his neighbors went to his
home this morning and found him lying
dead on the floor. He lay . near a stove,
an arm load of wood beside him. and bis
white locks covered with the snow which
had drifted on him. He had gloves on
his hands and sacks wrapped around
his feet, indicating that he entered the
house just before he died. The supposed
cause was heart disease. Twyman had
lived in the county forty years, and at
one time was well-to-do, but it is said
he gave away most of his property to a
woman with whom he was infatuated,
who abandoned him ehortlv after' she
secured possession. -
OLD WOULD CHOP PROSPECTS.
Reduced Acreage Between the Vistula
" and Bay of Biscay.
London, Nov. 30. The Mark Lane Ei
press today, discussing the crop pros
pects, says : '
"Severe frosts in France and central
Europe have stopped plowinz and sow
tag and we anticipate a somewhat re
duced wheat acreage in the entire region
between the Vistula and the Bay of
Biscay. Winter has set in throughout
Russia. The Sea of Azov was closed to
navigation November 4th, and the nav
i gat ion of the Baltic is dangerous on
the northern and eastern coasts, where
there is already much severe Weather.
"Owing to the rainfall in India, the
deficiency in the wheat acreage is re
duced. But, while famine no longer
threatens, a scarcity seems bound to be
felt nntil the spring of 1898. Eng
lish wheat maintains a good price in
London, but the country markets are
less firm."
For the Independence of Cnba. .
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 30. United States
Senator Bacon arrived in Atlanta this
afternoon. He said :
"Unless opinion has changed very ma
terially, and I do not believe it has,
there is an undoubted majority in the
present house and senate for what some
might call radical action that is, the
independence of the republic of Cuba
being recognized by the American con
gress. Iam'not-a member of the for
eign' relations committee, and do not
know whether the Republican majority
will prevent action . nntil McKinley is
inaugurated, bnt I am in favor of the in
dependence of Cuba, will so vote, and I
believe that the majority will do like
wise if the opportunity is presented."
One Bryan Elector In California.
Sacramento, Cal., Nov. 30. Final re
turns from Santa Clara county, complet
ing the state returns, show that Martin,
a Bryan elector, has defeated Flint, - a
McKinley elector, by 432. This gives
McKinley eight electors from California
and Bryan one. - . .

Speedily Cured by
CUTICURA REMEDIES
I was a sufferer for eight years from that
most distressing of all diseases, Eczema, but
can now say tru.hfully that 1 am entirely
cured. I tried some of tbe best physicians
in the country, but they did me little good.
The palms of ray bands were covered, and
Would become inflamed; little white blisters
at first would appear, then they would peel
off, leaving a red, smooth surface which would
burn like tire and itch; well, there is no name
for it. On the inside of the upper part of
both mv limbs, great red blotches not unlike
hives would appear, and as soon as I became
warm, the burning and itching would begin.
Night after night I would lie awake all night
and scratch, and almost go wild. I heard of
Cutiour.v remedies, got a box of Cuticuba
(ointment), a bottle of Cuticuba Resolvent
(blood purifier), and gave them a thorough
trial, and after a few applications 1 noticed
the redness and inflammation disappear; be
fore. I had Hied one bov there tea nut ti t'.yn of
Eczema left. I can truthfully asser: tMl fii.OO
worth of Cuticura Remedies cured nio. Any
one I meet who has Kczcma, I do not hesitate
a moment in recommending your remedies.
