Anti-Vaccination. A

The truth of the matter is that ther,
is very serious difference OF opinion
upon the question of vaccination.
While it is undoubtedly true that the
vast majority of the medical profession
still believe in and practice vaccination
there is a constantly growing body
which is bitterly opposed thereto. Lead
ing cities of the world have their Anti.
Vaccination Societies, and among their
membership are numbers Of reputable
physicians. In England and in Bel
GUM vaccination is mo longer compul
sory--so the opinion there must have
changed considerably.
There are two sides to this question.
The Vaccination societies present
some marvelously strong arguments
and facts to show that vac
is more of an evil than bless.

unconscious. A doctor was called and pro-
nounced her dead and funeral preparations

were astcunded to see Mrs. Taylor move,
open her eyes and ask for water
She asked, IL is said, that a favorite niece
who lives in Iowa, be summoned at once to
receive n message from her mother. who
tas been dead several years. Mrs Taylor
says her spirit was disemboded and scared
through space till brilliant and beautiful
grove was reached. Here angels were fly
ing about. guarding what seemed the en-
trance to heaven. She was refused admit
lance, but was allowed to converse al a
short distance with her husband, who died
last winter. and with her sister the mother
Of the favorite niece.
The message sent for the niece she re-
fuses to disclose. except to the young wo-
man. Mrs Taylor says she was promised
that she should come to paradise very soon
Mrs. Taylor is an educated. sincere Chris

lief that she will soon join her friends gone

That Loss I'm North Dakota
VIII he 81 000.oog

A dispatch from Fargo. n D.. yesterday
says: Two million bushels of wheat are es-
timated to have been lost in today's hail
storm, which partially destroyed the crop
on nearly 25o,0oo acres OF land I'm the
state. The total loss will be s1.oD0aop
Farmers who were busily engaged this
morning in cutting wheat were driven to
their barns for shelter. and afterward
found IL unnecessary to take the binders
back to the fields. the grain had been
harvested by hail I'm few brief moments
Just before IL o'clock the storm struck the
northern part OF Cass and the southern
part of Trail county.
In addition to big area over which hail
fell thickly, heavy wind and rain storms
completed the destruction of thousands OF
acres OF grain on either side Of the center
OF the path of the hail. covering an area
hfteen miles north and south between Ar
gusville and Gardner. in Cass county to
helso, in Trail county. and on the east
and west territory ranging from five miles
wide on the south to fifteen or twenty on
the north is practically devastated. Losses
are estimated all the way from - to 100
per cent of the crop
The acreage lost in Cass and Trail coun-
ties is placed at from lua.oep to 2gu0'1
acres. Many conservative estimaters say
that 10 per cent Of the crop on l25pO acres
is not too large figures for the destruction
in Cass and Trail.

MUTINY ON THE VICTORIA.
Chinese Crew on United states Trans
port Cause Trouble.

A dispatch from Seattle, Wash. yester-
day says: The trouble that has been brew
ing on the United States transport Victoria
for several days eliminated in a mutiny
today. Nearly sixty of the Chinese crew
were in open rebellion against the cap
tain and his officers. A battle appeared i'm
minent al one time, and was only averted
by the cool nerve of the ships first and
second officers. who stood in the face of
the angry celestials with drawn pistols.
There was fighting for time, and mu-
tinous Cinnamon fought their way from
between decks forward up the companion
ladder to the upper decks, and thence back
to nearly amidships before their onrush
was finally stayed. Had it not been for the
presence on board the ship of carpenters
and shipwrights, who were armed with
hatchets, hammers and saws, the China
men might have won out.
The reason for the mutiny is a demand
for more money and shore leave on the
part of the crew. The Cinnamon have
found out they to work for the United
States government, and they demand extra
pay of 81 more month.
