Month.
Read the List Over Carefully and
Make Your Choice Before it

We desire to clcse out all OF our pre-
miums this month, and in order TO do so
offer them as per terms given below.
J here are nearly 400 premiums. repre-
scntInE a cash value of about $500. All
Of these premiums are t. be given to
subscribers absolutely free. No sub
scribcr. however, will be entitled to a
premium except by paying his or her sub
scription in advance the length of time
specified IN the table below. The only
exception to this rule is where subscribers
have taken the trouble to save the pre-
MUM COUPONS. We make the exception
only because we advertised to give some
OF the premiums for coupons, and we do
as we agree. Twenty-Five coupons from
TUE DAILY LEADER or ten from the
WEEKLY will secure any premium that
Taying one dollar in advance will secure.
IF YOU have no coupons then you must
pay the specified time in advance. These
are our terms and it will be useless to ask
for any others.
As the number OF premiums is a little
less than 400 and the circulation Of The
DAILY and WEEKLY LTADER combined
amounts to over / 400 i ill be seen that
there are not enough premiums for all
subscribers. IN giving them out we shall
follow the rule Of first come fist served.

John McCTrath has received a letter
under date Of May 10 from Walters, on
the Colorado desert, telling Of the terri
bic late Of a miner who had lost his way
on the desert From the letter it is
learned that two parties Of prospectors,
Miller and Masters and Bowen and his
partner, were together, and that On May
Miller, as he was known, started from
Cottonwood Springs for Walters TO hunt
his burro, which had gone astray. He
had with him five quarts of water and
provisions for one day.
Nothing was thought Of the matter,
and no one dreamed but that he got
through all right On the 18th the bal
ance of the party went to Walters, and
reaching there learned that Miller had
not been seen. They Immediately put
back TO search for him. and found his
tracks where he took a cattle trail which
would lead him to the Colorado river, in
a direction directly opposite to Walters,
As they bad no provisions they could
not follow the trail and returned TO
Walters. He has been given up for
dead, rs since the Attn Of the month, if
he had reached the river, he would have
had time 10 return or 10 have written
back 70 his companions.
Bowen sent 70 Los Angeles to Miller's
friends to have them come and search
for the missing man. but up to the date
on which the letter was written no word
had been received from them.-San Ber-

It is the opinion Of experts that much
of the money which is spent by factories,
mills and stores ON the introduction Of
pipes and valves for fire extinction might
be saved by the adoption Of a much sim
pier and more efficient method. Both
sulphur and ammonia are well adapted
for rAtiuguishing fire. Sulphur absorbs
oxygen and forms sulphuric acid, the
fumes Of which are much heavier than
air. The quantity required would be
small, siuCes seventy grammes of sulphur
can make one hundred cubic meters Of
air luimicul TO combustion. An effective
sulphur cN~tinguishiug apparatus can be
made Of II large iron box Of moderate
depth and open at the top.
1t should be hinged at one end or side
o. "a protected ceiling, and kept close
thereto by a cord OF wire connected with
"A wire or strap formed chiefly of cad
MUM fusible at IA degs Fahrenheit.
Inside the box is placed "A considerable
quantity Of cotton wadding, well satur-
nted with powdered sulphur. On the
heat Of an incipient fire melting the wire
or strip, h box drops "a short distance:
by "A simple device the cotton wadding
is iguited at the same moment. and a

Evil Effects of ca,arrh

II has been the rule TO consider nasa! eatarrh
almost entirely a local disease, and one that
has very little effect upon the general system,
All this Is being rapidly ~disproved, and II Is
being shown that IL the nose is in0an un-
healthy state there Is quite a long list OF afiec-
tons which may be Induced In consequences
Hay fever has often been cured by appIica-
tions TO certain points In the nasal passages.
Asthma, also, has yielded to the same treat
ment. II Is a well known fact that when the
victim OF cataTrb suffers from dyspepsia
scarcely any Improvement in the latter can
be made, no matter what is done for H., until
the former is on the gain.
Evidence Is not wanting to show that severe
functional disturbances Of the lungs, and even
OF the heart, are sometimes Induced by nasal
trouble. Recently there was reported the case
OF "A woman whp had had epilepsy for several
years, and, although she had patiently sought
relief, no Improvement took place until appli-
cations were made to her nose and its condi-
tlOn Improved. Under that line OF treatment
entire recover occurred. Very many other
cases are on record which show that the rela-
ton of the nose and other parts OF the system
Is very intimate, the connection being. of
course, through the nerve system.

A short time ago rock from the hill
opposite Roseburg was being used in
