Sven Whales in 4 Trap.

The residents of Vaughan Bay, TWEEN
ty miles from Tacoma, wash, are hav-
ing a big hunt after seven whales
which entered Vaughan Bay Christmas
Day. Being unable TO find the narrow
channel leading out of the bay, the
whales have been circling around and
cutting all sorts Of antics Boatmen
have been able to approach within
thirty feet Of them, and several par
ties with lances have started to hunt
htem down.
The hunters are now trying TO secure
the harpoOns used by Tacoma fisher
men three years ago when they cap
tured a big California gray whale
which yielded 500 barrels Of oil At that
time n cannon was mounted on a tug
and fired at the whale several dozen
times without effect. At last harpoons
were sunk into him. and he towed
three rOwbonts around Puget Sound
for over q hundred miles. BY that time
he was so tired that lances could be
used with deadly effect. 1t is intended
to repeat this process if harpoons can
be secured before the whales escape
A number of children who cross
Vaughan Bay In rOwboats to go to
school are staying at home until the
whales disappear

There is a great deal of ignorance

COMPLAINTS ABOUT GARBAGE
BOARD OF HEALTH REFERS COM
CLAIMANTS TO CITY COUNCIL.

Secretary Wigglesworth OF the Board
of Health Saturday received ABOUT
forty complaints regarding the non-col-
lection Of garbage, all of which were
referred by him to Council.
The people in general seem to be at
sea as 20 where they should make
complaints regarding the inefflciency
of garbage collectors since the award
ing Of contracts has been taken
out Of the hands of the Board of Health
and given TO Council All Saturday
Secretary Wigglesworth and Clerk
Wentz were kept busy receiving com
plants of those who stated that their
garbage was not properly removed.
Go to City Council and make your
complaint" Csid the secretary, I'VE
have nothing to do with 1t now"
Chairman Willis, of the Crematory
Committee of Council. has a burden
upon his shoulders that he seems
scarcely able to bear Since Council
has assumed the duty Of appointing
garbage collectors Mr.. Willis life has
been made miserable.
City Treasurer Hamann has also had
his troubles with the garbage question
las Saturday a number of persons cal e.
ed at his office on East Sixth street
and informed him that their garbage
had not been properly collected. Mr..
Hamann replied to all complaints that
the proper place for such complaints
was either at the Board of Health o:
City Council.
The Street and Sewer Department
also comes in for its share of the gar
bage question. Secretary Wiley h. s
received several complaints that
"slop' was not properly removed by
the collectors. Mr.. Wiley suggested
that the Street and Sewer Department
was not the proper place for com
plants of that kind and referred them
TO the Board of Health.
The city tax Office also comes in for
It's share Of garbage complaints. Satur-
day about ten telephone messages
were received by Collectors Savers and
Lewis stating that garbage had not
been taken up on such-and-such a
street. The collectors replied that
The tax office was not the proper place
10 receive such complaints.

The Wilmington Opera House seats
1000 people. When Bryan was in that
city last week nearly all the city pa
pers admitted that $500 people turned
out to hear the distinguished visitor.
and in the next breath said there were
200 vacant seats in the house. Such
falsehoods as these merely go to show
the animus and hatred Of the repub-
lican and mugwump papers. This
foolish attempt to belittle the great
democratic statesman shows to what
lengths these opponents will go to de-
ceive their readers.-Sussex Journal.
There is no falsehood in the state
ment that nearly 200 seats remained
vacant. When Mr.. Bryan went upon
the stage there were between 800 and
400 noccupied chairs in the auditor
ium. These could not be readily seen,
perhaps, by those who stood in the rear
and along the side walls. Many Of
them we're seen and taken as the adj
dress progressed. But it is a fact that
everyone standing on the main floor
could have found a seat on that floor.

The consequences of the plague at

by which alone the disease can be
stayed, present peculiarly favorable
features for its spread. Camille, Simp-

"HEART OF CHICAGO"

The attraction for next Wednesday
night at the Opera House Is Lincoln J.
Carriers masterpiece of stage realism,
the Heart OF Chicago" It is said that
Mr.. Carter does not depend upon light
ening effects as much as he does upon
mechanical effects, by which he pro-
duces similiudes of falling walls, rae
ing locomotives, upheaving hills and
topping spires. How to overcome
seeming insuperable obstacles in the
way OF reproducing a lightning express
train whirring over the rails so real
istically as to startle people Is a matter
OF simple calculation with him.
Wherever The Heart Of Chicago" has
ofyouF uHhare inH5IdIs'u' " h OF
been presented IL has met with instant
success. The play is replete with
graphic scenes of the great Western
metropolis-with its many incI1ents-
pathetic and laughable. Act one takes
place in the Office of two partners dur
ing the great fire that nearly DESTROYED
the entire city. when one OF the part
ners is murdered and his wealth stolen
by the scapegrace of the firm. Then
the scenes of the drama change to
twenty years later when the villain
has become wealthy and Is power.
But murder will out" and his accom-
plice in the murder Of twenty years

In mercantile life success depends
upon publicity. The merchant who per
mits his business to remain untrumpet-
cd can never obtain prominence; but
he who insists upon making himself
known TO the public through the me-
dium OF newspaper advertisements will
rise from obscurity and troubled for
tune to fame and afhuence. In like
manner, the successful merchant who
has always advertised can sustain and
still farther develop his trade. The
advertisement does for business what
the ancient alchemists believed the
philosophers stone would do for the
