THE SILENT REAPER.
It Cuts Down One Of Rathdrum's
FaiTeSt Flowers.
Miss Edna Woolery Summoned Suddenly
to the Tomb.

The death of Miss. Edna Woolery
occurred at the family residence In
the Smith building on Thursday
evening, Feb. End, at 1880 o'clock.
O'Clock. Deceased had been a sufferer
but for short time, but the affiic-
tion was that dread disease, spinal
meningitis, from which so few re-
cover.
Until last Saturday she seemed to
be In the best Of health. Her rosy
| cheeks, her exuberant vitality, never
suggested the idea of disease and
death. On that day she seemed to
be more cheerful than usual; but
few passed the house who were not
| greeted by her merry salute. In the
evening she complained of severe
headache, but her parents were not at
all alarmed at this, as she was sub
ject to ailments OF this kind. On
Sunday morning DR.. Wenz was sum-
moned, who at once pronounced her
case critical. DR.. Fred Essig, of
Spokane, was called in consultation,
but he also pronounced the case crit
ical and had but little hope of the
patients recovery.
| She sank gradually, and although
every art that medical science could
devise was resorted to, nothing could
check the decline Of life which was
slowly but surely ebbing away,
when, on Thursday evening, sur
rounded by loving parents, who have
watched her joys and sorrows since
her birth, by physician who had
watched many, many hours by her
side, hoping to see some signs OF re-
lief, by sympathisng friends who
were constantly near by to administer
to her wants, she closed her eyes as If
in peaceful sleep and quietly passed
away, without struggle or a pain.
Edna Woolery was Is years and 8
months of age at the time OF her
death. At school she was studous
pupil and was generally admired by
teachers and schoolmates on account
ST her cheerful disposition She was
member of the high school and
would have been member of the

part in play given by the members
of the high school for the benefit of
the school library. Her part was
played so exceptionally well that she
received marked applause from. the
large and appreciatiye audience.
Those who saw her then so full or
life and vivacity, can scarcely realize
that she now lies cold in death.
Mrs. T. ]. Dryden, of Bonn. RS
Ferry, at whose wedding she appeared
as first maid OF honor about six
months ago, came on Thursday to see
her, but on account of the west bound
train being late she did nat reach
Rathdrum until it was too late to see
her cherished friend alive.
Although her life has always been
christian one, about three years ago
she united with the Episcopal church
of which her mother is member,
and it will be under the auspices OF
that church that the funeral services
will be conducted. Her parents are

1t Must BE Torture.

DR.. Nachtigal, the celebrated African
explorer, was the guest of rich Ham
burg merchant. The merchants son, Il
young man of somewhat sentimental
temperament, said among other things
that his dearest wish was to ride across
the desert on the back of IL camel. He
thought such ride must be very poet
ical indeed.
my dear young friend, replied the
explorer, II can tell you how you can
get partial idea of what riding a
camel on the deserts of Africa is like.
Take an Office stool, screw it up as high
as possible and put it in wagon with
out any springs. Then seat yourself on
the stool and have it driven over rocky
and uneven ground during the hottest
weather of July or August and after
you have not had anything to eat or
drink for "a hours, and then you will
get faint idea of how delightfully."-
poetic it is to ride on camel in the
wilds of Africa"

To Cure Seasicknes..

Another contrivance for the cure or
amelioration of seasickness has been
brought out. 1t is a small electric hang
ing stove, which can be put on bracket
and fastened up in stateroom. 1t holds
cup which will contain liquid food
and keep it hot, SO that the patient may
not have to wait an instant for swal-
low of beef tea or broth, which is con-
sidered almost preventive of sickness
if taken when the first qualms attack
the traveller. The difficulty is to get the
broth perfectly hot. When it is half
warm. it only increases the nausea.
and the most attentive stewards cannot
wait on numberless passengers and
serve each one with food at the exact
moment when it is needed. Thus the
electric stove becomes a boon to all who
would avoid the approach of seasickness.

give the reason that when there was a very
high tide the water might flow through
them; others, in the event of an invasion
they would prove an excellent means of
defense, or that the ground plans of the
rows were suggested by the fishermen's
nets which, spread on the dunes to dry,
had a narrow pathway let between them

Dewey Entertains n Volunteer.


In letter received by the relatives
of one of the soldiers now in Manila
the following story is told of the son of
a prominent state official in this city:
The soldier had been feeling unwell
for several days and was ordered to the
island of Corregidor, where one of the
hospitals is located. Strolling along the
beach one afternoon, he saw a gentle
man come sauntering along toward
him. The only peculiar feature about
the man was that he carried a cane and
was very neatly dressed for man ON
that island. The stranger approached
the soldier and passed the compli
ments of the day. The two fell into
easy conversation, and the stranger in
quired about the hospital, the island
and all questions pertaining to the fierce
struggle with the Filipinos. and con-
cluded by drawing on the sand with his
cane the shape of the bays and inlets
and the position of the fleet. The young
Coloradan was delightfully."- entertained
for couple of hours, and only when
the stranger was ready to embark on a
slosp that put in to shore after him did
he learn that his pleasing companion
was no less than Admiral George Dew

The Pacific slope Drying Up.

The extension of explorations and OBJ
servations in the region of country west
Of the Rocky mountains tends in many
ways to develop and confirm the propo-
sition that a steadily progressive aridity
is slowly replacing former more humid
climatic conditions. This change is
manifest in various ways-most con-
spicuously in the decreasing volume Of
water in many of the lakes and streams
throughout the region, as shown by the
existence of former beach lines at high
er levels, and in the profound disturb
ances and notifications taking place in
the native fora.
The phenomena which follow the ad
vance of aridity are not limited by al
titude, for, while the desert conditions
at low elevations exhibit them in their
most intense aspect, they are also clear
ly traceable to the highest SUBMITS,
where gradually dwindling glaciers and
abnormally high extensions of certain
lowland types of forest show the gen.
eral trend of the climatic change. Ma
