DEATH IN A DIVING BELL.
Two Men Lose Their Lives While
Searching for Sunken Steamers
Cargo In Thunder Bay.

A1pena, Mich, June 20.-Word was re-
ceived here of the drowning of George
Campbell and Peter Olsen at Thunder
Bay OF Friday last while engaged at
work in diving bell recovering the
cargo of the sunken steamer Pewabic,
which was lost about year ago in 116
feet of water. Campbell was the toun-
der of the famous diving bell ard 4 son
of Gardiner Campbell, founder Of the
centennial bell
The bell was sent down ut 1880
o'clock Saturday morning with she two
men inside. Campbell telephoned TO the
steamer that they were in the break in
the Pewabic's hull and asked for hooks.
The telephone worked we'll and the men
could be heard moving about the bell.
Suddenly all sounds ceased. Capt,
Phelps, of the Root, then rang the teie-
phone bell. which proved that the cir
cult was perfect, but no Other sounds
could be secured. An effort was made
to hoist the bell, but it had fouled in the
wreck and could not be moved. In the
efforts to raise the bell the derrick was
disabled. y heavy sea came up, but
repairs were made, and at five clock in
the afternoon the bell was cleared from
the wreck and partially hoisted, when
the derrick again gave out. The anchor
was slipped and the bell towed into the
bay, getting into smooth water about II
o'clock Once out of the sea the bell was
hoiSted aboard the Root and was found
10 be full of water. Both men were
drowned. Olson was sitting in his seat,
with his feet under levers, showing that
he had scarcely moved. The bell had
filled through one of the windows,
which was found broken. The auto

SAVED BY A PARABLE
Bacrs Convinced That 1t Was Wiser
to Save Jameson and Send Him
Home Than to XIII Him.

A most interesting account of the
manner IN which the lives of Jameson
and his men were spared after the sur
render to the Beers comes from the
Nieuws Van den Dag, Amsterdam:
The stern old Beers, when they had
Jameson and his fellow officers in their
hands, determined to execute the lead
ers of the band at daybreak. The meet
ing took place in President Kruger's
house, 20 being present, of whom the
great majority, wild with indigna ton
at the sudden inroad into their terri
tory, were for shooting the British Off
GERS at once.
President Kruger opposed this sum
mary plan, and used all his cluquence
and all his intiuence on behalf Of the
prisoners, For a long time MS efforts
were vain. 1t was four o'clock in the
morning, and the presidents opponents
were still for execution. The lives OF
the foreigners hung by a thread.
At length Gen. Joubert, one of the few
who agreed with the president, had re-
course to the old-time Boer methods oil
convincing his hearers He made use OF
parable.
'.Friends,' he said, will you not lis

would you have me do? Should I kill
the hounds to be free of this worry?
Truly my nei@hbor would say unto me:
Thou hast killed my hounds, yet their
vauie is greater than the value of your
sheep. Pay thou met Is it not better
that I should take the hounds, and, GO
ing into my neighbours house, say:
These are thine; now pay me for the
harm they have done"
There was silence, and the general
continued: eve have caught the pack
Is it not better TO send them TO the

repatriation lest the British government

Portage, Wis, June 20. - Edward
Scherbarth, a German farmer residing
just outside the city, shot and killed
his wife Sunday afternoon with 81

left eye and penetrated the brain. The
man and woman were alone and but
little information can be obtained con-
corning the circumstances Scher-
barth was under the influence of liquor
and said to persons who arrived on the
scene soon after the shooting that he
had BEEN indulging in little target

wife came out of the house and banded
him about his poor craftsmanship say
ing, among other things, that he could
not hit the broad side of barn. It en-

VIGOROUS ACTION.
Conference at Washington Decides
That the War with Spain
Shall Be Pushed.

Washington, June 2o.-The original
plans Of campaign for, the conduct of
the war against Spain will be adhered
to and viii be pushed with vigor and
energy. The decision was reached at
a war council held at the white house
Saturday, at which were present Presi-
dent Mckinley. Secretaries Alger and
Long, Gen. Miles, Assistant Secretary
Meiklejohn, Admiral Sicard and Capt.
Mahan. Of course there will be some
slight notifications made necessary by
the changes that have occurred since
the beginning OF hostilities, but these
after all will not affect the general
plans Of operations. Gen. Miles re-
turned from Florida with a store of in
formation respecting the condition OF
the troops, difficulties to be expected
N the progress Of the campaign, needs
in the matter Of transportation and
terminal facilities that will be freely
availed of to correct the defects in the
present system that experience has de-
veloped.
The official declaration to the effect
that the campaign is to be pushed with
vlgor does not necessarily mean an i'm
mediate attack upon Havana, although
such advice has been rendered. It does
mean that the very best efforts are to be
put forth to put the army in condition
where it can be used with overvhelm-
ing effect at any point or points at al
most q moments notice. To this end
the troops now in camp are to be thor
oughly trained and hardened, and when
they leave the United States their
equipment will be the best soldier can

A Bride for People Who Shore

At last genius In Tennessee has dis
covered way to stop the snoring hab-
1t. 1t consists of the simple bridling of
the mouth by means of bandages
which force the wearer to sleep with
his mouth shut. Most snoring Is caused
by opening the mouth in sleep. The
jaws relax and the base of the tongue,
the tonsils and the air passage sag in
the larynx, making 1t difficult for the
respiratory organs to operate with ia
cility.
The device of the Tennessean Is cal
culated to close the mouth and to force
the wearer to breathe through the
nasal channels, which, according to the
laws of health and the very physical
construction of the throat and larynx,
is the only way to breathe properly.
Those who have tried the bride say 1t
is uncomfortable at first. butwhen one
gets accustomed to 1t there are suffi-
cient benefits to justify the pangs Of
the first few nights. 1t is also advan-
tageous to people who are troubled
with catarrh, but Its prime advantage
to civilization Is the rapidlty with
which 1t suppresses the man who
shores and keeps the entire house
awake.-New York journal.

a brave woman Mrs. Carroll felt that 1t
was a fight in which she would win If
the boat was handled properly, which
meant that she, as well as the rest,
must not relax vigilance for even n mo-

hand. With back strained and hands
bhstered, she kept on. Suddenly bit

then I'm awful bump. Pull her off,

paddle into just the right place. The
boat was clear In a moment, but ahead
was a wave fully five feet high, and
the boat was sideways in the stream.
If 1t did not strike the wave bow on all
would be lost. The tired woman pad
died even more bravely. The wave
was struck in just the right place and
they were saved. Suddenly the motion
seemed to cease and the boat came TO
a standstill. The trip had been made
