"The Chinook"

The citizens of l. Anse should
not fail to see this novel play 1t is
a combination of humor and pathos,
the plot is strong, clean and exceed
ingly interesting. Starting in the
west the audience is carried east to
the great city of New York, where
they are held amused and then spell
bound by the fluctuating interest of
tie story. A person must really
see The Chinook k'' to understand it,
as it is difficult to describe. This is
the age of novelties and in The
Chinook we have one of the great
est. OF Miss Thompson powers
Of Interpretation high words of
praise are spoken, and we need only
to glance at her record to know that
sue is an artist of exceptionable
ability. She has powerful, sweet
toned voice of great range and flexi-
bility, and sweet and womanly
stage presence. Miss Thompson
will present The Chinook" at the
Opera House in this city Saturday
evening, Nov. 9Th. We trust that
the people will show their apprecia-
tion of the play by giving her full
house. Tickets 25 and 30 cents.

TURN BLACK AND DIE
Mysterious Disease Has Broken
Out Among the Miners
at KlOndike.
FIVE DEATHS PER DAY.
The Victims Turn Black and
Succumb Within Three
Days.

Victoria, B. c.. Oct. 26. Miners
forty days from Dawson say that a
mysterious disease has broken out
there and is carrying off on an
average five men daily. The victims
turn black from the waist to the
throat and die within three days.
Washington, Oct. %. The war de-
partment has just received a most
interesting report from Captain Ray
of the condition of affairs in the gold
region as he found them from St.
Michael's to Fort Yukon, supple
mented by the accounts of the most
reliable persons he could communi-
cate with as to the state of affairs
in the Klondike and neighborhood.
The officer, who was sent especially
for the purpose of making recon
mendations for the betterment of
affairs there, has some radical sug-
gestions to make. Among them he
urged the division of Alaska into
two districts, the southern district
to remain under the present juris-
diction, while the northern district,
including the gold region, to be
placed under form of military
government until congress can
otherwise provide. The place
selected by the captain for the mil
itary post is near Rapid City, 250
miles below Dawson.
Speaking of mining operations,
Captain Ray says the dense growth
of the forests and moss makes pros
pecting and development slow.
Miners agree to having discovered
valuable lodcs of low grade ore, but
the present high price of provisions
bars working placers or ledges that
dt not pay more than an ounce per
~; per day. Up to the time the
boats failed to pass the bar at Fort
Yukon he estimates that from the
boundary to the sea there were
twelve hundred people, not including
those stranded at st. Michael 5. The
captain discusses several new routes
and says he is reliably informed that
from Cook inlet. via the head of
Cope river. will be the shortest and
most practicable route for railroad
communication with the open sea
Up to the present time laws in the
country have not been enforced nor
does there exist any meanS for en-
forcing them; all disputes are set
tied by miners meetings. The cap
tain says there is no reason why
horses cannot be successfully en-
ployed for transportation, but he
also suggests that a hundred rein
deer be sent for winter use.

There has not been a tar& mark
in the high school department this
month.
Leo Paquette was absent three
days this week on account of sick
ness.
Sickness caused Mr.. Fuller to be
absent from his classes last Friday
afternoon.
The butterfly and dragon fly were
discussed at the last reading circle
meeting
A fine set of physical apparatus
has been ordered and will soon be in
use in the school
Drawing has been commenced and
and doing excellent work.
The higher arithmetic class has
a very animated time. especially
when they are learning short cuts
The pupils of the primary room
are progressing finely in music
Youth is the time to cultivate the
voice.
The children of the intermediate
room have library of their own
and the interest they take in read
ing the books is remarkable.
The compulsory school law not
only provides that the pupils shall
attend school, bat that they shall
come with the necessary text books.
Each member of the general his
tory class, besides doing the regular
class work, has read and prepared
notes on Rawlinston 5 ancient
monarchy.
A written test was given in the
literature class Thursday, covering
the life and works OF Irving. Most
of the pupils exhibited fair
knowledge of this author.
The attendance in school has
never been more regular than it is
now This is as it should be, for
good work cannot be done unless
the attendance is consecutive.
The senior class this year con.
sists of only two members Russell
Smith and Gertrude Bulger. They
will be the first TO graduate from
the school since there are twelve
years in the course.
Each of the grammar room pupils
have prepared neat book in which
to write the quotations that they
learn during the year. They are
placed ON II table in tine front part
of the room and make Il pretty dis
play.

Plunged Into the Hud-

And a Large Number Seriously
Injured-Water Had UNDER

New York, Oct. 26. The New
York and Boston special express
train No. 46, over the New York
Central and Hudson River road, was
thrown from the tracks into the
Hudson river at Corbin S basin, two
miles below Garrison 5, at $40 in the
morning. There were 96 passengers
and II trainhands on board. No
list was obtained Of those who were
in the sleeping car. Twenty-eight
persons are known to be dead aud
the list is not yet complete. The
engine and express car were thrown
into fifty feet of water. The combina-
tion baggage and smoking car and
one day coach were submerged OF.
the six sleepers. one was entirely
under water aud two only partially
covered. Three of the sleepcrs did
not leave the track. The wreck is
said to have been caused by the tides
washing away the underpiuing Of
the wreck.
RESCUED THROUGH TIE WINDOW.
The engineer aud fireman went
down with the engine Many pas
SpngerS were rescued through the
car windows Among those in the
smoking car were eleven Cinnamon

wards the roof of the car he succeed
cd in reaching window, which he
opened, and after u heroic struggle
succeeded in forcing his wife through
The narrow aperture, and crawling
after her. They reached the shore
IN safety
CAUSE OF THE DISASTER.
Galrisons, n. Y, Oct. 20. Gen
eral Manager Toucey gave the fol-
lowing statement aS to the cause OF
the disaster to Il representative OF
the Associated Press:
The accident was caused by the bed of the
railroad being washed out IN some ineXrlc-
able manner. In this undermined condition
the track sank as soon as the weight of the
train put on II nnd the embankment Civ.
ing way the train was, of course, prccipitatcd
into the river. such conditions as this we have
never looked for. Trains have been running
over this spot for years and years without ac-
cident or difficulty of any kiUd and this piece
of track was considered a-~ good as any Sec
! ton of the railroad. Not only was the roadbed
the hardest kind of an embhnkment, but IL
was strengthened by retaining water wall OF
solid masonry, three feet thick.
Other railroad officials were of the
opinion that y quicksand foundation
of some kind below the water line
was responsible for the sinking Of
the roadbed.
When the express car was raised
from the water it was found that
one of the safes. containing $500, 900,
was missing, but it was later re-
| covered.
