CORN FROM MOUNT VERNON.
Auditor Sinclair Sends Home Golden
G rains to be Planted.

The following letter from Sta tie
Auditor Sinclair, addressed to the
HERALD explains itself
81 send you an ear of corn harvest
ed on the home place of the Father
of his Country. Mount Vernon is
a beautiful spot, and the superin-
tendent of the hallowcd estate, dur
ing my recent pilgrimage there, as
sured me the corn | send you for
Kootenai County soil is the same
variety that has waved in the fields
of Mount Vernon from " ashing-
toms day to this blessed hour of
bloomers and automobiles In
deed, my information leads me to
believe that the cereal progenitor of
this very ear was brother to the
grains which composed the hoe
cake" that gave Washington such
love of truth in his boyhood and
such stout patriotism in Lis man
hood. TIE fine brands of whisky
with which he worked his election
schemes and with which filled his
neighbors and himself were distill
ed from just such corn, as the mail
will bring you,
Fed (that is the hoe cake) to the
rising generation of our section of
Idaho, who dares deny that another
George may not be reared with
equal patience and tenacity as the
original, with integrity as solid as
the rocks of Galena Landing and
patiotism as lofty as the loftiest
peak of the Kootenai Selkirks.
Spread the seed as widely as the
limited supply will permit, There
is much in common between the
scenery of Mount Vernon and the
Kootenai Valley and let us hope in
other respects as well.
Faithfully,
BARTLETT SINCLAIR

BILE experience of w. H. Shields, light
house keeper of Squaw island, with his
assistant, Owen McCauly. They ar
rived here in the steamer Manhattan
Sunday morning, having been picked
up by that boat in the north channel
of the island Saturday afternoon.
Keeper Shields told the following
story as he lay at Holy Family hos

1--WE closed the station on Squaw island
Friday morning. and soon after I, with Nc
Cauly. Lucien Morden, the helper, Mrs.
Shields and her niece. Mrs. Mary Davis,
with a few belongings, embarked in a
small sailboat for the mainland seven
miles distant. When out but a short time
the boat capsiZed. BY hard work we all
managed to reach the boat and lash the
women to it. McCauly and myself also
succeeded in doing the same, but Morden,
who had become deliTtouS, refused to do
this and was soon afterward WASHED off
and drowned. About ten hours after the
capsiZing my wife and her niece died from
exposure. We drifted around the lake for
hours, and at one time was within so feet
Of the mainland when the wind shifted,
carrying us again into the lake. In thi.
manner we passed Friday night, suffering
untold agony drifting and tossing around
with high seas breaking over us until We
were finally sighted by the steamer Man

ST. Louis, Dec. 17.-Five unidenti-
fed men, CARRIED as tramps, who
asked shelter in the calaboose at mid
night Friday, overpowered the village
marshal of Brighton, Ill, locked him
in cell, and then broke into bank
and two stores. They attempted to
get into the vault of Blodgett Bros
bank, in which there was a large
amount of money, but were unsuccess-
full, although the strong box was
partially wrecked by several explo-
sions of dynamite. Failing there, the
robbers entered the general store of
E. Butler, where they broke into the
safe and secured 500. Soon after en-
tering another store, Buffers store

flames were subdued a loss of several
thousand dollars resulted. The rob-
bers then escaped on hand car.

DISASTER AT SEA.
German Training Ship Founders Near
MalaEa-Fully 100 Are
Drowned.

Madrid, Dec. 1.-THE German train
ing frigate Gneisenau has foundered
off Malaga, 65 miles east-northeast OF
Gibraltar. Private dispatches say. that
40 persons were drowned.
A large number of the cadets can
be seen from the shore clinging to the
rigging. They are shouting and sig
mailing for help. The captain and
many of the cadets have been
drowned. 1t is believed that 40 who
left in one of the ships boats and
have not been seen since are also lost.
The total loss is now thought to be no
less than 100; some dispatches say 140.
Forty of those saved are badly hurt.
The training ship had been at NAL
aga since November 1, practicing with
guns of large caliber. She had been
previously at Megador, Morocco. At
ten o'clock Sunday morning review
of the cadets was in order. The wind
was extremely violent, and instruc-
tons were given to stoke up as rapidly
as possible. But already mountainous
waves had struck the ship, swapping the
anchor chains. She was driven helpless
toward the port and sank. The crew
threw themselves into the sea and chung
to the wreckag e, but the majority quick
ly disappeared. Capt. Kresthmann died
at his post. The Malaga lifeboat made
heroic efforts and rescued IS. but the
weight capsized the boat and IL were
drowned. The other three were saved
by means of ropes thrown to them. The
port authorities saved many of the sail

To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat

cures catarrh, but prevents. Every house

edy for coughs, colds, and SO forth.
It will be noticed that the Governor says
he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for
other ailments The reason for this is, most
other ailments begin with q cold. Using Pc
ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects
his family against other ailments. This is
exactly what every other family in the
United States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in
the house. Use it for coughs, colds, Ia
grippe, and other climatic affections of win
ter, and there will be no other ailments in
the house. Such families should provide
