The community was greatly shocked
this morning to learn of the sudden

was somewhat better, but he gradual

past few weeks he was in the greatest
agony. This fact was not realized by
his family for he seldom complained.
Early last week. however. his suffer-
ing was so intense that Mr.. Roth was
obliged to remain at home. and for
five days was away from his bust

Yesterday morning he came down
town and remained at his Fort street
place until after . o'clock in the af-
ternoon. He was feeling so miserable.
though, that he requested friend to
book him to sail on the Peru. due TO
leave on January Sth. He remarked
that three or four months in some
hospital in San Francisco might do
him much good.
Mr.. Roth retired early last evening.
He was early attacked with frightful
pains in the region of the lungs and
heart. For two hours after midnight
he lay groaning with pain. Just 1T
3:15 o'clock he raised himself in bed
to take some medicine the doctor had
prepared for him. when he suddenly
fell back dead An artery leading t1

wrongs inflicted upon the beautiful

some phases of the case, but the un-
vanished truth points to one of the
blacklist stories In the history of the
unfortunate Island. More than 10000
American women have signed the pc

lease of Miss Cisneros. General Weyler

The first serious misfortune for the
Klondike and Yukon miners this sea;
son came in the shape of forest fires.
Since the thaw in the spring there has
been practically no rain and the coun-
try has been unusually dry. The lat
ter part OF June fire started on El Do
RADIO and Bonanza creeks, and for three
weeks the entire district was ablaze.
The woods was afire In every direction
up and down these creeks. From there
the fires went across Hunker and Gold
Button creeks, sweeping through the
Hillside section and crossing over into
the Indian river district, continuing
with unabated fury through nearly
the whole distance. Several cabins and
a quantity Of food is reported destroy
ed. At about the time fires we're burn
ing on the Klondike, others were rag
ing in the Stewart river country. The
fires in every case resulted from the
carelessness Of prospectors In going
away and leaving their camp fires
burning. Large quantities of cut wood
was destroyed. while the damage to
standing timber has been immense. All
the dry wood was burned, and as re-
suit the price Of wood at the mines will
be fully 100 per cent. higher than last
season.

Most of the people of the town

four years.-Columbus Dispatch.

An Abundance of Peaches

Proiiting BY a Large Crop.

Prior to 1870 there was but one

that made shipments of its fruit.
Since then hundreds of acres have
been planted with peaches and the
Cumberland valley of Pennsylvana

peach growing section of the United
States. The orchards were trS'
planted on the mountain side but
they have gradually extended down
into the valley until the acreage under

Queer Exchange of Count erfeit Coins.

The police of Paris recently discov-
cred a regularly organized market
place for the sale OF spurious coins of
France. 1t was extensively patronized
by walters, who lay in a supply of the
false coins to work them OF on tour
lists. The large stock OF false coins
seized were found to be OF u quality
superior to that generally uttered by
counterfeiters. The idea seemed to
be to safely insure small profits. For
instance lot Of five franc pieces were
found to have an almost bullion value
Of three francs each. They were sold
to the waiter customers for four francs
each, thus allowing the dishonest pur-
chaser a clear profit Of one franc.
Few people look closely at n franc
piece, and a very bad imitation can he
successfully uttered in four cases out of
five. The average price paid at this ex-
change for franc pieces was twenty
five centimes or two and half cents.
European continental walters are past
masters IN the art Of passing counter
felt or demonetized coins, foreigners
being their victims.
