Two passenger trains met in head on collision at three o'clock iu the morn ing Light cars of train No. 8 and three of train No. 7 were completely demolished, as -well as both engines.

Mr Norton is a very eminent lecturer on Christian Scienceand the people of Greenback esteem themselves partic ularly fortunate to havo secured his presence with them. Geenhack has quite a strong school of Crist ian Sci entists who aro very earnest in their belief aud there is no question but that the Orocnbick mining camp is greatly profited by this means, and a good work is evident here in the ele vated mural tone, the increased Bible study and spiritual thinking and the higher plane of thought which makes the Greenback altogether different from most mining camps. The efforts of Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Thompson in this line havo fieen of Inestimable value to the camp. Mrs. Thompson is the first reader for Ihe local society and is a very earnest worker. Mr. Norton was Introduced by Mrs. Thompson with a few brief but well ehoseu remarks, and spoke for some time, holding the undivided atleinion of his listeners. His explanation of Christian Science was very plain. He was very fair and tolerant regarding those of different faiih. lie asserted that Christian Science was biblical, spiritual and orthodox, restoring the temporarily lost' power of apostolic healing. Following are a few In ief extracts from the thoughts set forth : Religion, according to Christian S'ionoeis honesty, chastity mid purity of thought and act, unselfishness, philaiithrophy, a literal aud spiritual imitation of the life of Ji hus Christ". Christian Science believes literally as well as spiritually, Iscause of us demonstrable power to heal disease. that Christ meant what he suiid when he gave his great nromisn to all ni...- "The works that I do, shall ye do also; and greater works than these shall yo do, because I e(, ulll ,y Falh.-r." Christian Science teaches the es tablishment of health through lie ntul or spiritual processes. Christian Science n i ivni.es uu that is true and beautiful m il,,. en -at religious sy-t. nis of the world, but at !.ill tine s and iiinh r all enudilious s- e,.

According to the ancient be lief, the ground hog, who hibernates during the winter months, comes out on that day to view tho weather in dications. 1 lie "sees his shaddur, " lie goes hack and stays six weeks more. If he does not see his shadow, ho stays out iu tho expectation of spring. So runs tho old belief. As the ground hog docs not inhabit this country, it is uncertain as to whether or not the rulo w ill hold. GOLDEN DRIFT MINING CO. Will Cut Lumber Noo-r the Dam, Gainer by Flood. The Golden Drift Mining Co. have moved their saw mill from its forme location on Jones creek to tho vicin ity of the dam. They have had men at work for some time past, cutting logs and tho mill will again lie run ning in a short time. Thoy sawed" np most of the immediately available timber ut their former location. At the present site, they have the advan tage, of sawing tho lumber on the ground where it is to bo used, thus saving the expense or hauling, an oieration now well-nigh impossible on account of tho condition of the roads. Them is considerable timber on thu hills near the dam aud this w ill be sawed this winter aud spring. Tho loss of timbers at the dam occa sioned by the recent high water, was more than counterbalanced by the sweeping out of the race and forobay, the water having done a work that would have cost tho company hun dreds of dollars to accomplish. May Rido on Freights. The Southern Pacillo lines iu Oro gon w ill herafler issue time permits for passi ng! rs to rido on freight trains on the Hue south pf Albany aud on the branches. On the main lino north of Albany, tho third daily passenger train makes it unnecessary to grant permits for liassongcrs to rido on freights. This order is made for the purpose of accommodating tho com mereial travelers, who havo been some wnar liicnnvcuicncccj since the new mileage scrip came into nse. It dees not give tin in tho same privileges that they enjoyed under tho old mileage, as to riding on freight trains, ucrcaitcr, t,y signing a re lease, or waiver, of personal damages, all holders of mileage script may ob tain free permits for the freight trains on tho lines mentioned. This is the same arrangement that is in effect on the O. K. N. DEATH OnUDGEBROWER Woll Known Lawyer Dies From Stomach Trouble Sunday.
