SALT LAKE VOLCANO.
Subterranean Fires Disturb the Face
of the Water

Salt Lake, Utah, March 3--What ap-
pears to be a genuine volcano has burst
forth in the Great Salt Lake, a short
distance southwest of Promontory station,
on the Central Pacific railway. The phe-
nomenon first appeared recently in the
form of a small cloud lowering over the
water about a mile and a quarter from
the shore. 1t gradually increased in di-
mansions and shot up so high in the air
that it is now visible for a great distance
and the water in the immediate vicinity
boiIs and seethes and the spray is thrown
up in the air for hundreds of feet.
The volcano is situated in the big arm
of the lake the west side of a long
range of mountains and is distinctly visi-
BILE from Brigham City. 1t is accounted
for by the fact that for the last six
months there have been felt several slight
shocks of earthquake in these regions,
and it is supposed the fire and lava which
have been confined in the subterranean
depths have now found outlet and are
spending their force A number of people
have Witnessed the phenomenon. which
has caused considerable alarm in the vi
ciQitV.

THE BERTILLON SYSTEM.
Rogues Rapidly Photographed and
Measured

The BertilIon System Bureau, which
was wrested from the control of Com
missioner Andrews and placed under
the supervision of Chief Detective
O'Brien, was formally opened for bust
ness on the top floor of police head
quarters today and four prisoners were
photographed and measured.
The measurements were noted by
Roundsman Grove, but Captain
O'Brien's wonderful identifier of
faces Detective Sheridan, is the real
commander of the bureau, and he will
oversee it in connection with the other
records attaching to the old Rogue's
Gallery. 1t required one hour and for
ty-five minutes to subject the four
prisoners to the complete operation.
Considering the novelty of the system,
so far the officers are concerned, the
time is said to be extremely short,
though later on the same amount of
work will be performed with more rap
iditY.

TO STEAL BOSTON COMMON.
Famous Old Plot About to be Cut Up
by Streets.

Boston, March 3.-John C. Cobb has
introduced an artfully worded petition
in the legislature to seize a slice of
Boston Common.
1t is a bill for the widening of Boyl-
ston street on the nOrtherly side be-
tween Washington and Charles streets
Not a word is said in the bill about
Boston Common, and the hearing be
fore the committee on metropolitan af-
fairs is slated for Friday, March 5. So
artfully and secretly have the Schemers
worked that some of the business men
on Boylston street have just received
the tip. They understand now why
emissaries have been to them and tried
to purchase leases.
The scheme includes the taking off
slice of the block of buildings between
Washington and fremont streets, on
the side of Boylston street named, and
would cost the city large sum. Be
tween fremont and Charles streets a
strip of the common would be stolen
and no cash to taxpayers entailed. Only
the people in general who own the COM
mon would suffer.

s"KANSAS" NET GALES.
The Big Steamer Had a Stormy Trip
-Four DAYS Late.

Boston, March 3.-The steamer Kan
sas reached her dock from Liverpool at
noon yesterday. nearly four days late,
the result of battling against heavy
gales and tremendous high seas nearly
the whole way across the Atlantic.
From Fastnet until reaching the grand
banks a series of violent gales from
southwest to northeast were encounter
ed and many times the steamer had to
be put head on to the sea in order to
prevent the high combers from break
ing on board.
After crossing the grand banks the
force of the wind diminished. On the
18th, goth, 21st, and 22d of February
the steamer was only able to make 80,
81, 1911, and 1913 miles respectively, while
under ordinary weather conditions 300
miles is logged every "a hours.
Capt. Murdoch says he saw nothing
of the disable steamer Cambrian.

MEXICAN WITCH DOCTOR.
She So Enrages a Patient That He
Strikes Her Dead.

Mexico, March "a man by the
name of Martin was recently taken ill
at Espita, state of Yucatan, and in
stead of sending for physician he en-
gagged the services of a woman reported
in the neighborhood to possess prefer
natural powers. The witch came to the
patients side and ordered him to get
up and assume the most ridiculous pos
itions, threatening him that if he moved
he would die Immediately.
The sick man believing what the
witch said tried for a time to remain
in forced pastures, but at last he could
endure the pain no longer, and exas-
perated against the witch, he stabbed
her three times in the abdomen, killing
her on the SpOt.

TORE HIM FROM THE WIRE.
A Young Man Gave His Life to Save
His Fathers From the Electric
CI1rrant

Galveston, Tex, March 3.-Eugene LIE
Fevre and his son are house raisers,
movers and carpenters. Today they
were moving an old building sheathed
with iron, but their progress was OBJ
Structed by wires
Eugene LIE Fevre, who was standing
on top of the building, graSped one of
the wires with both hands in an effort
stantly he was paralyzed, blue flashes
of electricity flew from his body; his
hands were smoking, and the smell of
burning flesh came from them. The
son, Paul, who was on the roof, sprang
to his father and tore him loose. The
effort was his last.
As his father fell on the roof, his life
saved, his son fell upon the wires and
his life was sacrificed, although every
effort was made to save him. The
elder LIE Fevre's hands were badly
burned and he is partly paralyzed, but
he will recover.

PRIZE FIGHT NEWS GOES.
The Bill to Suppress it is Put to
Sleep.

Washington March 2.-The house gal
leries were thronged with visitors all
day but the crowds witnessed nothing
beyond the dullest of routine matters
until the last half hour of the session,
when the bill to prohibit the transmits
sion of detailed accounts of prize fights
by mail or telegraph was brought up.
The adversaries of the measure out
voted the friends of the bill on several
flibustering motions, but an agreement
for a recess until 10 o'clock today put
an end to hoStilities. The bill now be-
comes the unfinished business when
ever the call of committees is reached
but as conference reports have the
right of way,it is doubtful whether that
order Of business will again be reached
this session.
Mr.. Aldrich (Rep., IlI.), called up the
bill. He said that while this would not
prevent the mill to take place in Ne
vada March II, or the transmission of
the news of the result, it would prevent
the broadcast dissemination of the
"sickening details and the moraliZing
preliminaries with which the columns
of the newspapers already teemed-
Mr. Morse (Rep,, MassO, advocated
of the youth of the country" He said
he hoped the result of the fight would
be that these two brutes would kill
each other.
Mr. Grosvenor (O.,) expressed the
opinion that the necessities of morality
and public order demanded the sup
preston of prize fighting.
If lived in state he said, which
had nothing else to commend it, I might
favor prize fighting" Laughter.)
Mr.. Dockery CDem-. Mo-, vigorously
opposing the bill. He opposed prize
fighting, he said. as much as anyone,
but this bill would esta blish a censor
ship of the press. and if carried to it's
logical conclusion, would necessitate
bureau for that purpose.
Mr.. Cummings, CDen., N. V. char
acterized the bill as dangerous legisla-
ton. He said if it ever passed, many
of the books in the congressional libra
ry could not be sent through the mails.
Mr.. Hepburn (Rep., Ia.), closed the
debate with an earnest plea for the bill.
Mr.. Van Horn (Rep., MOI, secured
the passage of rather peculiar bill.
1t authorized the Interstate National
bank, of Kansas iCty, to move from
Kansas into the state of Missouri. 1t
says the bank is in a building on the
boundary line and desires to move from
one portion. of the building, which is
in Kansas, to another portion, which
is in Missouri. This requires an act of
congress.
A bill was passed to provide for the
transmission to Washington of presi-
Dental election returns by mail. The
bill abOlishes the system of messengers
now employed.
At 6:10 recess was taken.

First a Mole.
Then Cancer.

Probably no disease carries such ter
ror in its path as Cancer-aud well
may this dreadful affection be regarded
with horror. In an alarming manner,
it slowly but surely preys upon the
Efe'S blood, bearing the victim nearer
the grave day by day. Beyond the use
of the knife the physician is power1ess,
and too much cannot be said against
the folly of resorting to the knife for
a cure of this terrible disease. Can
Ger is in the blood, hence it is apparent
to all that no relief can be expected
from an operation. In ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred the cancer promptly
returns, if not in the same place, in
the same locality, and is far more ma
Hgnant than before The same is true
of attempts to remove the cancer by
means of caustic p1asters, etc, and all
who have had this treatment claim
that death cannot be more painful.
But there is a cure for cancer-one
which gets at the seat of the disease,
and removes its cause. S. S. S. is the
only real blood remedy, and cures can
Ger and all other blood diseases, even
after other treatment has failed.
One of the wel1-knowu residents OF
Macon, Ga, is Mr.. H. Powers, the con-
tractor and builder, who lives at SIS
Ross street. For twenty years Mr..
Powers has suffered intensely from a
cancer on his face, which was treated
constantly, but grew worse all the
while. He sought the best medical
skill in vain, and could see no hope Of
ever being cured.
On June D, 1896, he writes: t'TwentY

SHORTAGE OF GRAIN CARS.
Roads Run ming East From Chicago
Can't Supply Demand.

Chicago, Ill, March 3.-Roads run
ming east from Chicago are very short
of grain cars and in consequence large
shipments of corn are being delayed to
the great inconvenience of shippers.
The pressure on the roads to supply
more cars is very great and officials are
driven to their wits ends in their at
tempts to satisfy demands.
An important meeting of the mileage
bureau of the Western Passenger as
sociation has been held. The business
before it was the question of accepting
an interchangeab BILE mileage ticket.
No definite result was had at the con-
ference, but the opinion is general that
the Introduction of an interchangeab BILE
ticket is a question of but very short
time.

STOLE HAND B
Wfgard Convicted in the Session M
Court Today.


Joseph Wigard was tried in the Special
Sessions Court today on a charge of
grand larceny. He and Otto Knopp, both
employed in Charles G.. Pauls factory in
Hoboken, were charged with stealing a
quantity of hand mirrors, hair brushes
and toilet articles made in the factory.
When they were a~rraigned a few days
ago Knopp pleaded guilty n Wigard not
guilty. Since then Knopp, with the as
sistance of Lawyer Alexander Simpson
has become convinced that there is a
doubt about his guilt and at the request
of Mr.. Simpson Judge Hudspeth permitted
him to plead not guilty. He will be tried
next Thursday.
Paul testified that he had been missing
articles from the factory for some time.
He. found occasion to suspect Knopp and
Wigard and had them arrested. A trunk
full of the missing goods was found in
Knopp's room. The only thing found in
Wigard's. room was a small hand mirror.
He said that Paul gave him material from
the factory more han a year g to make
samples and the mirror was one of t
samples. Paul denied that he gave the
defendant any samples.
The Court convicted Wlgard although
he was defended by Lawyer Frank Nc
Dermitt of Newark. Mr.. McDermitt gave
