A Railway Smash-it. -What might have
been a most disastrous railroad accident
occurred last Monday morning in the Uluo
mountains. About two mile this side of
Ililgard.oncof the front wheels of the smo
king car became broken. It was discovered
immediately by frightened pass-cngcrs. and
efforts were made to Mop the train, but the
other wheel and the journal flopped back
under the car, and destroyed the brake
rigging. Ik-hind the smoking car was a
lirst-chii-s coach, and following it was tliu
last car, the sleeper, All control of thoc
three cars was lost, and the brakes on the
three cars in front had no effect whatever.
The grade was 110 fcet'to the mile, and the
train went whirling along, with the for
ward trucks and wheels of the smoking car
flopping around promiscoiuly, and every
passenger's heart jumped into his mouth
as he realized the hopeless danger of the
situation. Four high bridges were crossed
at great speed, and still the three cars, with
their human freight, stayed with the track.
On reaching the Five Point bridge, they
left the rails, and ran across on the ties,
every one. of which was torn out completely
by the sleeper in tome nnexplalnablc man
ner. This impediment stopped the train at
the other end of the bridge, and the fright
ened passengers got safely out of the cars,
not one of which had turned over. Had
the train become disconnected, these cars
would have been thrown from the track,
and hardly a passenger could have escaped
with his life. As it was, the safety chains
in use held the train together, and this fact
alone saved it from total destruction. The
track was not cleared and the broken bridge
repaired until four o'clock next morning,
A.nothkr Victim. Harry Diuuphy, a
brakeman on the 0. 1!. cfcX. line, was killed
at La Grande, Monday evening. He was
breaking on the working train sent out to
clear the track of the last wrcek. It was
just leaving La Grande when Dumphy got
aboard. After this, nothing is known. It
was supposed that he was in the act of
crossing the space between the first car and
the locomotive and fell off. lie was found
on the track, horribly injured. 15oth his
legs and his right arm had been run over
and crushed, and his body was bruised all
over. His internal injuries were the cause
of his death, which occurred an hour after
the accident, at about half past eight o'
clock. He was conscious for awhile before
his death and able to talk a little. Dumphy
was some time ago located in Pendleton
and married a daughter of Dr. Lindsey, but
had long been t-cparatcd from his wife.
A Ci.osr. Cai.i.. The liaker City Demo
crat says it was shown a letter received by
"Uncle Hi1' Osbom from his bon, Stephen,
who last Sunday morning left with several
car loads of horses, bound for the eastern
market. Among those were Kd Parker's
horses and those of Dave Kmcry, .shipped
on the same train. At Poeateilo the cars
from some cause at present unknown, took
fire. The horses were saved with much
difficult. Cars to supply the shipment of
the horses were telegraphed for at once,
and it is to be hoped that the boys will ex
perience no further difficulty iu placing
their horses on the eastern market.

What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so nuiny seem now to be afilictcd?
If you will remember a few years ago the
word .Malaria was comparatively unknown,
to-day it is as common as any word in tho
English language, yet this word covers on
ly tho meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times pant. So it is with
nervous diseases, as they and Malaria aro
intended to cover what our grandfathers
called Hiliotisness, and all are caused by
troubles that arise from a diseased condi
tion of the Liver which iu performing its
functions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channel is com
pelled to pass it oil' through the system,
causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Hillous
Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well
appreciate a cure. We recommend Green's
August Flower. Its cures are marvelous.
