Prof. Cole for July.

Rejoice and be glad, for Earth is
again in the "House of Life" in a
good and fruitful "sign," and swiftly
moving onward toward the "House
of Fortune" away from the evil in
fiuence of the great planets Saturn
and Uranus, and safe in the arms of
prosperity. The coal trade and
manufacturing industries will take on
new life. The United States will
spend one million dollars a day in
return. The evil influence of the
great planets will all be centered up
on Europe and Asia this month, and
new complications in the war situa-
tion will arise and give us much alarm
for time. Either Germany or Eng
land will receive sore affliction, and
the state of affairs at the Philippine
Islands will take sudden turn.
Watch out for an epidemic of evil
doings that will run riot throughout
America and the old country.
The great sea of gaseous matter is
still passing over the sun, cutting off
the regular supply of electrical cur
rents in some sections of this coun-
try and pouring down an excess in
other sections; this means extreme
heat for the latter, and cold weather
with frost and perhaps snow for the
former. Cloud bursts, hurricanes,
cyclones and floods will make hard
record in some of the Western and
Southern States, and violent hail,
wind and rain storms will flood the
Eastern States. Phenomenal electrl-
cal storms will sweep over the East
ern States and all cities situated with
in the Eastern electrical belts,
Scranton, etc., had better watch out
for an electrical bombardment If a
break does not occur in the gaseous
matter, now passing over the sun, and
cause fearful storms and floods, then
several earthquake shocks will be felt
ard large meteors will fall in many
sections of the country.-Prof. Coles

EAGLES MERE OHAUTAUOUA.

To those who have visited Eagles
Mere, it is not necessary to speak of
it's charms, but few words will not
be out of place for those who have
not yet enjoyed its life, and are to be
surprised and delighted in finding the
possibilities that are within their
reach; the tides of fashion carry its
pilgrims to distant shores and shrines,
that do not compare with this Temple
of Nature, in our own State, and al
most at our doors.
Eagles Mere is delightfully."- situated
on the summit of the Alleghanies IN
Sullivan county, Pennsylvania it is
22oo feet above the level of the sea,
afordlng pure, dry, bracing atmos-
phere, that gives a sense of vigor that
is pleasant contrast to the lassitude
OF the ordinary city and town life of
the summer.
The village is collection of cl, -.ste
and ornate cottages which has grown
up around the borders of the lake,
with several hotels and churches, that
lend an appearance of animation and
neighborhood life, to the majestic
outlook from the mountain rising at
the sides of the lake.
The lake, that rests so beautifully
as a crown on the mountain range, is
about one and half miles in length,
and half mile in width, clear as cry
stal, and source of unfalling rest
and inspiration.
The Chautauqua Assembly will be
held there beginning July 13th, and
continuing until August 24th. Ex-
Gov. Beaver is President of the AS
soclation, and Ex-Gov. Pattison one
of the directors. Among the enter
talners who will be present are Frank
K. Robertson, traveller and lecturer,
Herman & Douglas, musical virtuosos
DR.. Eugene May, lecturer, Eli Perkins,
humorist, Capt. Chas. McIlvaine,
author &C., Century Quartette, Rev.
DR.. Morgan, lecturer, ]. w. Macy,
humorist, Geo. E. Little, chalk talker,
Edward Marc, magician, Park Sisters,
and many others.
Eagles Mere is delightful summer
resort, and is well supplied with excel
lent hotels. 1t is reached from here
by the P. & R. to Halls, thence by
the Hughesville railroad to Sones-
own, and thence by the Eagles Mere
railroad.

The following correspondence ap-
peared in Pen,sa. Meth0disk, Harris
burg, June goth, as to the convention
of Jerseytown Epworth League:
"Just here Mr.. Edward ]. Bowman,
of Berwick, was introduced to the
convention, and he delivered his ad-
dre7s on "The Character of Christ. I"
This was mastery effort. For
tt'-ty minutes he held the convention
spell bound; Eloquence flowed like
a stream from the mountain side, and
as he reached the climax the large
congregation several times burst out
in hearty applause. 1t is wonderful to
see what powe some have in speech.
1t is SAID it surpassed anything ever
delivered in this county,"

A. L. Nixon, who claims Pitts
burg as his home was gathered in
by a constable on Wednesday,
charged with having skipped leav-
ing board bill of sixty-five dollars
unpaid at the Exchange Hotel. He
was in town for several months last
winter, during which time he occu-
pied one of the best rooms in the
Exchange. He appeared to have
plenty of money, and was very
liberal with it. But his finances
evidently must have ruin out, as he
left town without saying a word.
Several warrants had been sent
after him, but he could not be found
until yesterday when it was learned
that he was in town calling on
young lady who had been receiving
his attention when here before.
He was arrested and taken before
Squire Jacoby, He said he lost
nearly all his money coming in
from Pittsburg and could not pay
the bill. Mr.. Snyder agreed to
settle it for $50 cash. The fellow,
with some help from a friend raised
the amount and paid it off. He may
spend many more months in our
town but we doubt yer5 much if his
name will be foupd on the Exchange
register.

Proctor Inn at Jamison City is
beautifully located, handsomely fur
nished, and we'll kept by L. B.
Howell. Everything about the
house is as neat and clean as a
private house. The tables are covert
ed with spotless linen, and prov
ided with excellent food we'll cooked.
The rates are low as compared with
many summer resorts where the ac-
commodations are not nearly so
good as at Proctor Inn. In the
hottest weather there is always a
cool breeze on the extensive porches
that surround the house. It is a
matter of surprise that so few people
of Bloomsbury take advantage of
this pleasant resort. Tickets can
be procured on the B. & S. good for
return from Saturday to Monday.
Those who have spent Sunday there
once always go again.

A terrific explosion, at the works
ofthe Latin and Rand Powder COM
pany, near Dover, Delaware, on
Tuesday, instantly killed nine men,
and seriously wounded several
others. The terrible catastrophe
was caused by the blowing up of a
new boiler which had just been
placed in the works. A destructive
fire added to the horror and the loss
will reach many thousands.

We are all ''in it, now whether we
stay at home or 60 to the front. The
cigarette smoker now pays six cents
for a package that formerly only cost
him five cents. The cent has also
been raised on a five cent plug of
tobacco. The man who drinks his
beer as well as the man who sub
scribes for bonds is a patriotic con-
tributor. The matron who sips her
tea is also an involuntary contributor
and the man who draws bank check
pays two cents for the privilege. Its
no trouble.

the old National Guard, but sixteen
companies have thus far been organ

When their acquisitions ale received
they will be armed and equipped.
Sunbury is among the number.
The Bloomsburg Company, accord
ing to all reports has passed into his

The authorities of New York, on
Tuesday arrested a notorious Grim
inal, who they believe, is the man
who murdered Major William c.
Wilson, the librarian, in his store
at II17 Walnut Street, Philadelphia
on the night of August I6, 1897.
He is Benjamin Lippy, alias "Big
ELL Mason" He has been suspect
ed for some time but has succeeded
in keeping out of the way of the
authorities. The most conclusive
proof against him is the carrying of
the dead mans watch, which if it
can be proven, will leave no ques-
tiou as to his guilt.
The murder of the old librarian
was a cold blooded crime and is
still fresh in the memory of all who
read the accoint of it. Wilson's S
mangled body was found in the
Walnut Street library building
about seven o'clock on the night of
August I6, 1897. He had entered
the store from Walnut Street at
fifteen minutes to six o'clock. The
last man to see him alive was the
colored porter, Marion Stuyvesant,
who bade him good night. Stuy-
vesant was arrested and detained
for long time, but it was clearly
demonstrated that he was wholly
innocent of the crime. Wilson's S
place was searched from every cor
ner, but no clue could be found at
the time. Bloody finger marks
that have been photographed were
evidence of the Redeemed hands of
the murderer and robber.

w. H. Magill, who has just re-
turned f.om Harrisburg where he
went to see the officials in reference
to call for his volunteer company,
says the prospects are not very
bright at present. He says there
are upwards of one hundred organ
lied companies throughout the state
who have applied to the Governor
for call, a great many ofthem from
counties, like Columbia which are
not represented in the guards.
However, his company, so he has
been informed, is among the favor
ed, and if there is any necessity for
more troops, he feels hopeful.

AT a meeting of the executive COM

that the whole amount can be pro-
cured without much difficulty. The
building will be utilized for an alumni

The Hawkesville (Ky.) Plaindealer
notes the beginning of a great reform
movement in that town as follows {:
An effort will be made to hold the
prayer meetings in this city on the
same night in the week. This will
leave the other nights off for different
purposes besides many shows strike
this place, and the performance is
nearly over after services, and it is
also great nuisance to be compelled
to dress for a dance fresh from church.
1t is good thing, and we hope the
christians will push it along.

PRESIDENT OF COSTA RIGA
DISTINGUISHED VISITOR AR
RIVEs AT NEW YORK.
President Iglesias and Party, On
Their Way to Europe-Interest In
the Nicaragua Canal.

New York. Nov. 22.-Rafael Iglesias,
president of Cocta Rica, arrived here
today on board the Atlas liner Altai,
from Port Limon and Kingston. With
President Iglesias dere Ricardo Ig-
lesias, his brother; Colonel Leonzo Bo-
nilla, aide-de-camp; DR.. Augusta Gus
tiana and General John J. Easement of
the Costa Rican railway. The party
will stop at the Waldorf for few days
before proceeding to Washington.
Shortly otter the Altai left quarantine
for her dock she was boarded by Col
onel William Carter of the war depart
ment, representing President Mckinley,
to welcome President Iglesias.
President Iglesias said that he is
travelling practically incognito and not
on national business. He was opposed
to display. He had simply come here
for pleasure and for the benefit of his
health, and expects to take a trip to
England and France, and on his way
home he will spend some months in
the United States.
The visit here of President Iglesias
at the present time, when there is so
much talk about building the canal
across Nicaragua, is believed to have
been brought about by the recent con-
cession granted to the Grace syndicate,
which goes into effect in October, 1899.
When this concession was announced
it was said that Cocta Rica's opposition
could not in any way affect the new
grant.
President Iglesias. when spoken to
about the proposed canal today, said
that Costa. Rica had important rights
which it. has reserved, and intimated
that it will not be all plain sailing for
the new syndicate. Further he would
not discuss the matter.
Dr.. UlIoa, consul general of Costa
Rica, however, explained what was
meant by Costa Rica's rights. The con
sui general until last May was vice
president of the country, and he re
signed in favor of Don Dometrio lyle
sias, the presidents father, who is now
acting for his son. DR.. Ulloa said that
his country has equal right with Mica
ragua along the San Juan river, an i'm
portant waterway which divides the
two republics. The building Of dams
across the river for an interoceanic
canal, it is said, viii inundalte consid-
cradle lands in Costa Rica. Without the
latter country's sanction, it is asserted,
the concession held by the Grace syndi-
cate is virtually valueless. There is
said to be a strong feeling in Costa
Rica in favor of allowing the United
States, instead of a private corpora
ton, to build the canal, and that coun-
try will do it's best to thwart the scheme
planned by Nicaragua.
Dr. Ulloa said that the reason that
Costa RIGA has not joined the republic
of Central America, which was COM
posed of San Salvador, Nicaragua and
Honduras, is because the combination
is looked upon as an experiment and
not by any means as a stable compact.
The revolt now in progress in San Sal
vador, he added, is a serious one and
is the outcome of the union which went
into effect Nov. 1.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-11-23

in the breakers, a large number Of In
dams were on the beach and rendered
assistance in getting the whites ashore
and saving supplies from the barge.
After being comfortably camDed, the
Indians demanded a large portion Of
the supplies as payment for services,
which, according to the Indian woman
story, was refused.
a few nights later, while all were
asleep, the Indians made rush on the
camp, killing the entire party, includ-
ing Missionary Weber. his wife ani
child.
after the massacre the bodies were
stripped Of clothing and valuables.
They were then taken in canoes a con-
siderable distance from shore and
thrown in the sea.
Molokoff's story is partially CORRIDOR
ated by letter from M4rsten, re .eived
by Barneson & Chilcoot, who owned an
interest in the Jessie. Marstan asks
for an investigation, and says thai the
Indians on the Kusl1owims are becoming
very insolent. They claim that section
as their hunting and fishing grounds,
and do not want the whites to trespass,
and threaten to make trouble for all
forOSDectOrS.
