''Perhaps you would not think so, but
a very large proportion of diseases in
New York comes from carelessness about
catching cold,' says DR.. Cyrus Edison.
1T is such simple, thing and so common
that very few people, unless it is Il case Of
pneumonia, pay amy attention to Il cold.
There are a great many cases OF catarrl
and consumption which have their origin
in this neglect of the simplest preca';tion
of every day life. The most sensible ad-
vice is, when you have one, get rid of it
as soon as possible. BY all means 10 not
neglect it, DIR. Edison does not tell you

FAIREST LOPEZ.

Tread before the Young Peoples Society
OF Lopez island, and published by requesl]
Near the old Pacific's border,
Midst the isles OF Puget Sound,
Lies the beauteous isle of Lopez
Loveliest spot the world around.
Nesting, like gem of beauty,
Midst the group they call San Juan,
She is a thing of joy forever,
Beautious, fair to look upon.
From the Strait of Juan De Fuca
You may view her fair and vercant shore
Rich, green foliage ever crowns her,
You'll wish to view her evermore.
Perhaps you'll think it is the distance.
Which lends enchantment to the view,
But plant your feet upon her bosom
You'll find her ieauty's real and true.
On her brow and in her bosom
Lie the bounties given to man,
Lopez ever greets the pilgrim,
With her forest and her land,
All that human heart ere wished
B0unteuuS nature gives to man,
Shall we wrest this wealth and treasure
From the forest and the land.
Her land doth thus abound with treasure
With hidden possibilities untold;
She has bright young men and maidens,
And babies worth their weight i'll gold.
While we clear her breast of forest,
Sul'due her rich and fertile soil,
Well not forget the weary workers,
The weary ones who sweat and toll
Well clear our minds OF rubbish,
Cultivate the soil of brain,
Subdue the heart OF it's wild nature,
That God may SOW the gospel grain.
Let us learn, from God, the lesson,
The golden rule, the law of love.
And do the will of God on Lopez,
AS the angels do above.
The world isfilled with fierce commotion
The nations all with war are rife,
Why should we, who live on Lopez,
Be like them in constant strife.
Yes we will learn to live like brethren,
With competition we'll have done,
Our motto will be corporations;
One for all and all for one.
Fairest Lopez heaven bless thee.
Beauteous Lopez, most sublime.
Well never leave thee nor fursake thee
Lovely Isle Of heathful cline.
Rest thee near Pacific's border
Midst the isles of Puget Sound,
Ever rest in peace fair Lopez,
Loveliest spot the world around.

ORGIES IN A CHURCH.

An Important Witness i'm the Dur

San Francisco. Oct. 22.-The prose.
cution in the trial of w. FL. T. Durrant
has found a witness who will testify
that everything was not right In
Emanuel church prior to the murder OF
Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams.
This witness is I colored bootblack
named Budd Wilson. Last night when
he was served with q subpoena he
told his story to Detective Seymour.
II know King and Durrant so well
that they talked freely with me-" said
he. cat first l was surprised that
such religious young men should be
carrying on in such a fashion, but af-
ter awhile I concluded they were
about the same as other young men. l
learned from those two boys them
selves that they were taking girls to
the church every night. I often heard
them tell of the fun they had there,
and of the different girls who &C.
companied them. I know myself Of
five girls who used to go to the church
at night with these boys. The people
in the mission would be very much
surprised IL they knew who the girls
were. They all belong to respectable
families. and the worst of 1t all is
that their parents eve dreamed that
such things were going on"

Flames and Smoke Ascending From

Port Townsend, Wash, Oct. %. -
Further evidences of an active volcano

this city are just in from the Olympic
mountains where they have been hunt
ing elk, and report that after expert
encing Il series of light earthquake
shocks, covering a period of two
weeks, flames and huge volumes of
smoke were to he observed ascending
from IN of the smaller peaks. The
flames would shoot up and then
dense volumes Of black smoke would
belch forth. Pettygrove and Sally thc
two young mem hurried back to Port
Townsend for a fresh supply Of pro-
visions, and will make an effort to
locate the volcano. South of Port
Townsend last night the sky was clear
and the volcanic phenomena were wit
messed by dozens Of people who &C.
curately describe the eruptions of
smoke In the same n as the two
elk hunters. Many navigators of the
lower sound and straits report hav-
ing seen a strange sight and all be-
lteve 1t to be a small volcano.

Compromise Said to he Likely in the
Canadian School Matter.
Winnipeg, Oct. 23.-J. C. Patterson:
the new governor Of Manitoba, is now
established in the government house.
The reception accorded the new gov
ernor by Premier Greenway and his
ministers var most cordial, they going
out of their way to assure him he was
welcome. This somewhat unexpected
cordiality-for Manitobans generally
had desired the appointment of a local
man as governor-has led to a report
that a settlement of the school ques-
ton is not far off. Information from
Ottawa is that Premier Bowel and
one or two of the dominion ministers
will shortly come to Winnipeg as the
guests Of the governor. When they
arrive a conference will likely take
place on the question.
Both Protestants and Roman Catho-
lies are weary of the warfare, and
both are inclined to reach a compro-
mise that will bring about a settle
ment. Archbishop Langevin, the head
of the Roman Catholic church in this
country, stated to-day that he was
p%ostpoining a visit to Rome in the
hope that he might be able to convey
to the pope intelligence Of an amicable
arrangement.

MANY LIVES LOST
DETAILS OF THE STORM ALONG
THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA.
The City Of Culiacan, the Capital of
the State OF Sinaloa, IL Partially
Destroyed and Many of the In
habitants Are
Killed.
FLOOD AFTER THE CYCLONE.
Rivers Become Torrents, and the
Water Completes the Ruin the
Cyclone Had Wrought.

San Francisco, Oct. 22.-The story
of the terrible torn that recently
swept the Gulf of California has only
been hinted Mt in the meager dis
patches that have been received from
Mexico. The first word picture of
the gale in its awful entirety is drawn
by Capt. Van. Helms, master of the
steamship Willamette Valley, who has
Just arrived from the region devas-
tated by the cyclone. 1t is now ap-
parent that this whirling wind storm
will 70 down in history rs one of the
most fearfully destructive ever known.
The difficulty in getting news from
the wind-swept and water-ruined
country has seemed as strange as the
| storm itself. The cyclone passed
over q country remote from connecting
lines Of railroad, and far away from
reliable means of communication. The
telegraph wires were all Frustrated
and many of them will remain down
for weeks to come At Guaymas little
or nothing about the storm seemed to
be known. Letters received from
points within the stricken area were
incomplete, full Of doubts, uninterest-
ing and mostly written in Spanish
and poorly written at that.
These reasons mentioned and others
us potent will account for the fact
that the world will first learn Of the
partial destruction of the capital of
the State Of Sinalac through Capt.
Van Helms nearly three weeks after
the cyclone. Other details nearly as
important as these have remained for
him to describe. The fury Of the
storm was not most felt at La Paz, as
had been supposed, but at the interior
plateau town Of Culiacan. The storm
burst in the mountains back of this
important town and the waters
worked IN awful wreck. Between
twenty-five and thirty people were
drowned outright and many others
were injured in the raging food that
rushed through this city. Culiacan Is
IN historic city. In it are the state
buildings of Sinaloa. Back of it are
some Of the richest silver mines the
world has known. It is a town Of
fully 1000 people. The Culiacan riv-
err runs through it. When the storm
struck the ridge Of high mountains
back of the city there was such a
downpour Of rain that in an incredibly
short time the canyons were full Of
water pent up by the very quickness
with which it fell. After the climax
and the fury of the elements was
reached. this water descended from
canyon to valley and valley to plateau
with fierceness never before known in
that part of Mexico.

The Freund Case.

Blue Earth City. Oct. 23-The Frcund
persecution is a humbug. He has new
err been molested personally. The win
dows to his saloon were broken on
two occasions in the night. once after
the developments in the Clara Ober
case, and again after his release on
bail by Judge Severance. Recently his
saloon was entered in the night and
the liquors emptied from the casks, but
it is not believed that outside parties
did IT.. The general opinion here is
that Freund's latest action was taken
for the purpose of securing a change
of venue, should the grand jury in
dict him. The attempts to burn his
house have never been heard of here;
neither has the secret society he claims
as existing here to destroy him ever
been heard Of before. He goes and
comes at will OH the street without in
suit or disturbance, except IN OCCASION
al encounter with the mother Of the
dead girl.

Mr. DickinnOn Defeated for q May
orally Nomination.
Detroit, Mich, Oct. %. - Don NJ.
Dickinson was defeated for the nom
ination Of mayor of Detroit in the
Democratic city convention to-day,
but the defeat is in reality regarded
as u victory.
The nominee is AID. Sam Coldwater,
a labor candidate. The division which
has existed throughout Michigan be-
tween the referee or administration
Democrats and the anti-referees had
in Detroit assumed the more personal
nature of Dickinson VS.. Daniel ]. Cam
pau, ex-state chairman. In to-day's
convention the anti-administrati6n
men tried to force the nomination of
Dickinson for the very purpose, it is
alleged. Of having him thrown down
by running him up against the Pingree
boom, which has attained a tremend-
Gus velocity in the present campaign.
The federal officeholders and other
Dickinsonians to-day fought this eff
fort, with ultimate success after a hard
struggle. The convention was further
racked with an attempt of some lead
ers to have Pingree indorsed, but this
did not succeed.
