There is no season Of the year which
has more real dangers than the present.
This remark was made by an eminent
scientist whohad been a close observer for
many years. Thus continuing, he said:
People who have passed through the
Summer, even II they have taken vaca-
tion. are more or less in a rundown and
exhausted condition at the opening Of the
FAN season. The muscles have become re-
laxed the pores Of the skin are open. and
the heat of the body causes exposure to
drafts which are none the less dangerous
because they are not felt.
THE great danger from all this Is pneu
monia. which is getting to be the most
subtle. as well as most dangerous disease
of American life. II comes quickly. and
too often it ends quickly II assumes
many forms. but they are all serious and
too often fatal

Mr.. First conceived the idea that it

Deputy Recorder Read volunteered to

such action would detract from the

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
DIsPLAYTNG TOWN NAMEs


These are The days when lots Of peo-
pie are getting back from vacations
that included more or less railway
travelling, and II is quite certain that
many OF them will thrill responsive
to a complaint about the excessively
modest way in which towns reveal
their names TO the traveller passing
through them. The person traversing
this and other countries has no diff
Guilty in learning what pill to take for
his dyspepsia, what plaster to apply to
his lame back what powder to use on
his teeth, or what soap to wash his
hands Every hamlet and city. and all
the places in between, scream advice at
him on these subjects by means Of
huge signs posted where he cannot
help reading them, however little he
may be in need OF such instruction. If,
however, he is struck by the beauty or
liveliness of any big town or little one
through which his train carries him,
his only chance OF learning its name
unless he makes himself obnoxious to
the conductor by asking questions-is
10 look for a little board stuck up on
some dark corner of the railway sta
tion, and, unless, he has both luck and
sharp eyes. the chances are that he will
be whizzed by with curiosity unsats-
fed. The result is that, instead of adj
vertising the merits of THAT town by
mentioning them to his friends, and
instead, possibly, of becoming a resi-
dent Of It some day, the only feeling
excited in him is one OF irritation, soon
to be displaced by entire forgetfulness.
This is a matter to which towns should
attend on simplest business principles
The railways. to which 1t Is now left

moneyfor big signs Of this kind. They
are interestd only in carrying people
from place to place, and American rest
lessness already makes that a suffi-
cient1y profitable task The local offl-

done at all. and the residents of each
town should see that they perform theii
duty. It has been so long neglected

Red Mems Hall to-day. Members have
been arriving in town all day from
points throughout the state.
The last Great Council fire took place
at Harrington! and since then three
tribes have been dropped, but the in
dividual membership is equal to last
year, and an enthusiastic convention is
expected
f. c. Howard, well-known VIII
mington Red Man, will probably be
elected great sachem. At the last con-
vention there were 1856 members pres
ent and voting for great sachem, which
office is always one of high honor and
much sought after.
The condition Of the Red Men in
DelaYare this year,i is very good. There
are 33 tribes in tbt state, with an ag-
gregate membership Of 2,771. There
! are 81 past sachems. all of whom have
voice and vote in the Great Councils
deliberations. There are also % past
great sachems now living and having
full rights in the Grand Lodge.

GET THROUGH TO THE GOLD
FIELDS.
Port Townsend, Wash, Oct 27.-
Among the passengers on the steamer
City Of Seattle, which arrived here last
night from Skaguay, was George B.
Kittinger, mining engineer for the Ad-
dicks syndicate, which did not succeed
in getting it's men through to the Klon-
dyke. The Addicks party went into
Winter camp near Lake Bennett,
Mr.. Kittinger had a talk with Major
Walsh the day before the City of Seat
tie sailed. Major Walsh was then at
Dyea, on mis- way to take command of
the Klondyke district mounted police,
and had come from Dawson.
The major was urged by the two mes
sengers to carry all the supplies he
could possibly transport, which would
indicate that there was a shortage of
food in the Klondyke. The men said
that a few days before they left the
upper Yukon word of rich finds was re-
ceived from prospectors who had been
working on new diggings, and
there was another wave of excitement
through the people at Dawson. These
prospectors were sent out on shares,
and had headed for the Indian river,
which had been abandoned early in the
season.
Shortage Of food is all that is pre-.
venting a stampede to the new discov-
cries, they being far up the YukoI-,
while all who can get away are heading
down stream.
