REAR-END COLLISION.
• _■ ' .
A Rapid Stock Train Crashes Into a
Freight, Seriously Injuring
Four JVien.
Hearne, Tex., Jan. 22—A rear
end collision occurred at an early
hour this morning on the Hous-
ton and Texas Central railroad a
few miles north of Benchley. The
north-bound freight No. 7, was
just leaving a water tank when a
stock train moving at thirty miles
an hour, struck the rear end. Con-
ductor W. F. Ward and Brake-
man Jack Robertson of No. 7
were in the caboose when the
crash came -and both were very
seriously injured, Robertson hav-
ing one leg broken. Ward was
injured internally and is in a pre-
carious condition. Engineer Hig-
gins and Fireman Stewart of the
stock train also received serious
injuries. All were given burgical
attention. Iliggins, Stewart and
Robertson were removed to the
hospital at Houston this after-
noon. Conductor Ward's condi-
tion would not "-permit his re-
moval. The exact amflaui of
damage can not yet he ascertain-
ed. The caboose and colliding
engine were demolished and sev-'
eral cars were, burned. The col-
lision is perhaps attributable to
the dense fog enveloping every-
thing at that time.

Enthusiastic Reception.
Mexia, Limestone Co., Tex.,
Jan. 22.-—Hon. Wm. J. Bryan, the
great silver democratic leader,
arrived in Mexia at 12:45 p. ui.
to day from Dallas in company
with Hon. J. W. Blake, whose
guest he will be until Monday.
He was met at the depot by
fully 2,000 people in spite of the
fact that no effort had been made
to get a crowd out. The people
of Mexia and vicinity love him for
the cause he represents, and
knowing that he was to come to-
day, they turned out in force to
show iheir appreciation of his
visit. The Mexia silver cornet
band furnished music for the occa-
sion, and as the well-known form
of Mr. Bryan emerged from the
car cheer after cheer rent the ali-
as the crowd gave vent to their
delightat seeing the distinguished
champion of the white metal.
A carriage was in waiting, to-
ward which Mr. Bryan and Mr.
Blake crowded their way. After
entering the carriage Mr. Blake
in a few remarks introduced Mr.
Bryan to the crowd. The latter
expressed his gratification at
meeting the people; said that he
had come to Mexia for a lew days
: rest, but the enthusiasm of the
I people for the cause of bimetal-
lism prevented him from enjoying
| the rest he sought anywhere. He

near Berry, Ala., about 7 o'clock
to niglit, the robbers stealing sev-
eral valuable express packages
and two or three jugs of liquor.
This is the same place where a
similar robbery was committed on
Dec. 1G last, and it is supposed
that this robbery was committed

An Expensive Work.
Washington, Jan. 21.—The
most expensive book that ever
was published in4he world is the
official history of tfte Civil War,
which is now issued by the Gov-
ernment of the United States at a
cost up to date of $2,334,328. Of
this amount $1,184,291 has been
paid for printing and binding.
The remainder was for salaries,
rem stationery and other ex-
penses. It will take three years
longer and an appropriation of
perhaps $600,000 to complete the
work, so that the total cost un
doubtedly will reach $3,000,000.
it will consist of 112 volumes, in-
cluding an index and atlas, con-
taining 178 plates and maps, illus-
trating the important battles of
the war, campaigns, routes of
march, plans of forts and photo-
graphs of scenes and persons.
Most of these pictures are taken
from photographs made by the
late M. B. Brady of Washington.
Several years ago the govern-
ment purchased his negatives.
Each volume will cost an average
of $20,785, which probably ex-
ceeds the cost of any. book of the
kind that ever was published.

The Great Free SilYer Paper.
The Post-Dispatch is the only met-
ropolitan paper that championed the
tree silver cause in advance of the
nominating conventions. It stands
pat for free silver, for western men
and measures, for the people against
the political bosses, plutocrats, com-
bines, trusts and corporation oppres-
sion.
You will find the Weekly Post-Dis-
patch indispensable during the year
1H97. The year 1807 is going to be
brimful of interest. The incoming of
the MuKiuley administration, with ji
new congress, elected upon a gold
platform, means legislation of a kind
that will vitally interest every news-
paper reader in the eonntry," and es-
pecially in the west and south. Bpee-
ial attention will be paid in the
Weekly Post-Wispatch to this news
of a national character, and it will be
discussed editorially from the point
of view of the west and south as con-
trasted with that of Wall street.
The campaign for free silver will go
on in 1897, and nothing can do so
much to help along the campaign of
education as a newspaper like the
Weekly Post-Dispatch. Ttiis is shown
in the fact that in Missouri and in
every other locality where the Post-
Dispatcli has a large circulation, the
gains of democracy and free silver
were of a sweeping character.
The Post-Dispatch deserves the
support of all free silver democrats
because of the great fight it made in
the recent campaign for democratic
principles and the democratic ticket.
Hence the free silver men everywhere
should rally to Its support by sending
in their subscription and inducing
others to subscribe.
In addition to all the news and the
cream of public discussion, the week-
ly Post-Dispatch contains the best
editorials in the daily Post-Dispatch,
short stories, a helpful woman's de-
partment, gossip about men and
women who attain prominence, polit-
ical cartoons and plenty of fun and
humor.
Subscription price, by mail, 50 cts

Dear Sirs: —I have made a careful
chemical analysis of the Kitchen Queen
Baking Powder, purchased in the market.
It belongs to the most healthful and effi-
cient class of baking powders manufactur-
ed.
Those baking powders are best which—
(1) Keep best.
(2) Give off most regularly the largest
amount of leavening gas.
(3) Leave less residual matter in the
bread, and this of the most healthful
kind.
I have carefully compared the " KIT-
CHEN QUEEN " with the leading baking
powders on the market. None surpass it
on any of these points and it is superior
to many.
I take pleasure in saying, by way of en-
couragement to Texas manufacturers and
for the benefit of the consuming public,
that the Kitchen Queen Baking Powder
is as near an ideal baking powder as has
ever come to my notice. Respectfully,
