the relative position OF craters and

such that little if any danger might
be apprehended. How far they were

by the giant powers of Nature, a few

THE ALASKAN VOLCANO BEGINS TO
ERUPT.-Mount Redoubt, ON Cook 3
Inlet, is said to be unusually active
since the Martinique disaster. 1t has
been pouring out dense volumes OF
smoke, and at night tall columns OF
flame are seen projected from its crater.
The natives who lived in its vicinity
have fled to the farther end of the
Kenai peninsula. Volcanic ashes
have fallen at points many miles
distant in every direction, and Mon
tague Island, in Prince Williams
Sound, is covered by n thick layer of
them. Explosions and rumblings in
the interior Of the mountain are con.
stantly heard, and earthquakes are Of
frequent occurrence. Redoubt has
smoked at intervals for years past, but
has never exhibited the tendency to
become spouting fountain OF fire and
lava that il now does.

Teddy Warned by a Duluth Dreamer

DIR. A. Ecker, OF Duluth, who, it has
been claimed, forctold the assassination
OF President Mckinley, is in the pro-
phesying business again, and has ad-
dressed a letter to President Roosevelt
warning him to prepare for war with
European powers. His knowledge was
impaired after the manner of the
Scriptural prophesies presaged by
Pharaoh's dream, wherein seven thin
ears OF corn devoured seven rank and
full ears, and seven lean kline ate seven
fat kline, without any appreciable in.
crease of flesh, interpreted by Joseph
to mean that famine OF seven years
would consume all the food laid up by
the preceding seven years of plenty
and the people would be be in dire
distress.
"Dr." Ecker is even more explicit
in details, in letter to the President,
wherein he submits the Symbol OF
the great calamity the American peo-
pie will have to pass through in the
very near future" and the "intcrpre.
tation of the vision" Under the SYM
boil he says i'll part:
"On the eth day of the fourth month
of 1902 | was in vision on the Coast.
Whether Atlantic or Pacific | do not
know. Standing on a pier and looking
on the water l saw four or five what
seemed to be very large fish. They
came quickly and sedately, more like
gunboats. | went down to the beach,
when the waters receded and streams of
blood flowed into the sea. Dead fishes
were strewn on the beach. They were
fish from foreign waters, and were of
different sizes and cOlors. l retraced
my steps to the pier and the waters re-
sumed their normal position on the
shore. Looking down, saw one OF the
large fish, or gunboats, with its bow
s tove in and big holes in its sides. Soon
| saw what must have been a squadron
of ships, for as far as the eve could
reach there was nothing but hulls."
DIR. Ecker lntreprets as follows:
1.-The four or five large fish are Euro
pean powers. The fish with its head
stove in means that the United States
will win with a narrow margin. As the
huls of our gunboats are shorn of their
beauty, it means that we shall have
no more use for gunboats after the war
with the powers. The waters receding
mean that the United States will con-
troll the sea. The dead fish and streams
of blood signify great loss of life in the
war"

of the ships within. DR.. Ecker calls
himself a prophet and magnetic healer.

EVANGELIST GEO. r. STUART.

a Tennesseean, claiming the town of
Cleveland as his home. Born forty-odd
years ago, he is now in the mature vigor
of manhood, physically and intellectually.
Mr.. Stuart was educated at Emory and
Henry College Virginia, and soon after
ward entered the ministry. AS a speak
er he is a man of attractive delivery,
with a full vocabulary and with an earn
estness that rises to eloquence. Rich in
illustration, forceful in reasoning, strong
in argument, and persuasive IN pleading,
he is we'll adapted to the work he has
undertaken. He is a master Of human
nature and motive. and intensely practi-
cal. There is no levity about him in his
work He breaches straight at his hear
ers with a vigor that often carries con-
vction but is not open to many of the
objections made to latter day evangelists.
Mr.. Stuart is a regularly ordained minis
ter, in good standing with his denomna-
ton. Personally he is a man of pleasing
manners and address. One of his most
striking characteristics as preacher IS
his virility.
For years Mr.. Stuart has been asso-
ciated with Rev. Sam P. Jones, but is re-
garded not as the counterpart Of the
Georgian but rather as his complement
He has much of the power and many
of the strong points of Mr.. Jones without
those for which his co-worker has been
censured by some. Above all those who
know him best declare that he is man
of clean life and character and above
reproac1l.

cial.)-The largest meeting Of Republi-
cans ever held in Augusta county took

one-tenth negroes. Before the meeting,

porary secretary. The chair overruled
Hackman's motion, and he appealed to
the house. and after much excitement
Fulwiler moved that the sense of the
house be taken by division. The chair
was supported overwhelmingly This was
a test of the Allen factions strength. AL
were trying to break up the meeting.
After much discussion, Allen went to
Yost on the platform and proposed that
they let the past be buried and work to-
gether
1t was agreed by the leaders that Allen.
Yost, Fulwiler and Hacknan retire and
form harmonious plan. After a short
time they returned, saying Allen and
Yost had agreed, and announced that
they had also agreed on Samuel A., Dun
lap. of Lone Fountain. as chairman of the
county and city committees, and the
meeting ratified their action.
Allen said it was the happiest moment
of his life to announce that the Repub-
1icans of Augusta were once more united
and would work shoulder to shoulder.
Allen moved to instruct for yost. and
pledged his support. Yost said he did
not want the nomination. but had been
urged by his friends to run if norni-

CINCINNATI, O., September D.-Ihe
successful celebration attend
ing President Roosevelts visit here came
very near being marced tonight by
panic that would have caused a count
less loss Of life. 1t is estimated that Their
were over 5000 people packed into the
auditorium when the President began
speaking. At the same time. the adJoln-
ing exposition halls were crowded with
people viewing the exhibits, as they were
unable to gain admittance in the Music
Hall After the President had been
speaking about fifteen minutes. there was
a great commotion in Mechanical Hall,
adjacent to Music Hall, on the north.
The sparks from an electric wire had set
a curtain on fire, and the fire department
had been called to the scene. The police
and attendants of the exposition soon put
out the fire, but they had much more
trouble in controlling the alarmed crowd
and It was with great difficulty that Cap
tain J. B. Foraker son of the Senator
and one of the officers of the day, headed
off the fire department from rushing int
the building. Happily one of the bands
struck up, and those who left the auditor
ium were supposed to be going out to
stop the band rather than to head off Q
panic.
Very few in the auditorium, where the
President was speaking, knew anything
about the incident. and the President suf-
fered only a slight interruption. withou
knowing what caused it. The asles of
the auditorium and all of the standin
room about the exits were packed with
people, as well as the great balcony an
the gallery. Had there been a cry of fire
or any knowledge Of what was going on
among those in the auditorium, the fata
results could not be estimated
