a civic rather than an academic event. and
thus the proceedings became OF general

the lumberjack OF the northern forests.
Thorpe, a green country "landlooker.' es-
tablishes his claim to a valuable tract OF
cumberland In the timber districts Of Mich
igan, organizes his camp, and then with
his fighting forty lumberiacks fights for
his rights against a powerful and encroach-
ing lumber corporation, finally coming out
victorious. Surrounding this drama OF
fierce action, there is always the peaceful
atmosphere of the deep pine woods, the
mystery Of the forest, that great. fascinat-
ing, lovable mystery which, once it steals
into the heart Of a man, has always a
leaning and a longing when 1t makes its
voice heard" The heroine, a fascinating
and wilful girl who meets Thorpe while on
a camping trip, and falls in love with him,
becomes the Inspiration Of his fight. Their
first meeting in the forest Is an exquisite
bit OF description. There are few chapters
in recent literature which compare for
vividness and vigor with the account Of
the log jam and it's breaking, when Jimmy
Powers threw his hat in the face OF

THEIR FATE IN DOUBT.
Seven Men Believed to Have
Perished in Ingram Basin.

Telluride, Col. March 5.-A rescue party
has been organized here to attempt to go
in the Ingram basin. where seven men
were known to be working when the storm
cut off all communication. Ingram basin
is one of the most dangerous places in
winter in the San Juan country. 1t is
above timber line and the peaks are high
and precipitous, while the valley is mar
row. Many believe that all the men have
persisted in a slide or that while they were
at work in the tunnel their work house,
filled with provisions, had been buried be-
meath tons of snow and ice. With their
snow shoes lost, it would be impossible for
them to get down, as the snow is from
six to eight feet deep. If this is the case.
then they are perishing for lack of food
and shelter.

MANY WRECKS.
Number of Vessels Went Down Dur.
ing Recent Gales.

Victoria, B. c., March 5.-The steamer
Queen City, which returned last even
ing from trip along the west coast of
Vancouver island, brings reports which
go to prove that more than one vessel
met with disaster during the recent
gales. In the finding of the boom of the
Inflated sloop of war Condor on Long
beach further evidence is produced to
show that the vessel went to the bot
tom in the December storm.
Further north the officers learned of
other wreckage coming ashore, pre-
sumably from a sealing schooner, there
being pieces of canoes and sealing boats.
This proba bly, means that some schoon-
er has had her decks swept as did the
sealer c. D. Rand off the Columbia
river. The Rand had reached port on
the west coast and was spoken by the
Queen City Her captain reported~that
he had been in blow off the Oregon
coast and that his deck had been swept
clear. This was too far south for the
canoes and boats to be washed ashore
on the Vancouver island coast SO that
those found on the beach must have
come from another schooner. The Off
GERS of the Rand report having seen a
lot of wreckage off the Columbia river
but this may have been from the little
schooner r. I. Morse, which was blown
up after her crew had been rescued
Other sealers arriving on the coast re-
port having encountered very severe
weather. In fact it was so bad that the
season is an utter failure and the seal
ing combine will suffer heavy losses, as,
besides getting no skins almost every
schooner will require repairs.

EXPLAINS EVOLUTION.
DIR. Thompson Makes 1t Clear
That 1t Isn't Heresy.

At the regular meeting of the Fort
nightly club last night, aDr.A. H-Thornp-
son read a scholarly paper on the sub
ject, Evolution and Theology
The fact that DR.. Thompson is one OF
the elders of the First Presbyterian
church, and that his paper argued for
conclusions entirely antagonistic to
those of DR. Countermine, the pastor
made the occasion an important one i'll
the history of the club.
Dr. Thompson was urged by the club
members to have his paper published,
but refused to do SO. He stated that he
did not want to appear to be opposing
DR.. Countermine. THE subject for my
paper was assigned some time ago.,
said DR.. Thompson, '.and therefore had
no connection with the recent agitation
of DR.. Countermine'S views. When the
present excitement has subsidized, 1 may
allow my paper to be published in
pamphlet FORM
DIR. a. H. Thompson is one of the
most earnest students of evolution in
the state, and in his paper last night
brought out clearly the claims of tie
evolutionists. He argued that evolu-.
ton is real proof of theology, and that
God manifests himself in the stages of
evolution. After the reading of Dr.
Thompson's paper, the memberseof the
Fortnightly club discussed the subjects
treated, and the sentiment was unani-
nous in commentator of the position
taken by Dr. Thompson.

BULLET IN HIS BRAIN.
VIM. j. jerks Kills Himself Be-
cause He Was Despondent.

William J. jerks, who for the past
% years kept a second hand shop on
lower Kansas avenue, committed sui
eide last night about nine o'clock by
shooting himself through the head. He
went into stairway at 307 Kansas ave-
nue., and sitting down on the second
step, placed a revolver against the
right side of his head and fired.
The people living in the building did
not pay much attention to the shot,
thinking it was the slamming of door,
but one man went out of his room, and
looking down the stairway saw the
body huddled up in a peculiar position
and investigated. Officer Henry Aye
also heard the shot and came to see
about it.
The body was at once taken to
Stoker'S undertaking establishment, al
though no one could identify the man.
His clothing was searched, but nothing
could be found which would eSta blish
his identity, until a call came to the
police station to send an officer to 30S
West Second street, and it was there
found that jerks was missing, and the
people at his house feared that he had
committed suicide, as he had been very
uesPoLoeht because OF cancerous
growth on his chin, from which he Suf
fered great pain and apprehension. A
description soon convinced Officer
Lucas. who made the investigation,
that it was jerks who had killed him
self. No one had recognized the body
because his beard had been shaved off
and d bandage covered the lower part
of his face. The afternoon had been
spent by jerks in writing letter to q
sister in Ohio. He then hunted up an
Old rusty revolver, a relic of the sec
ond hand shop, and left the house. He
had evidently mailed the letter, as it
was not found in his clothes, and then
sought some place to end his life.
jerks was about so years old, and
little is known of his family, except
that he has relatives in Ohio. He has
been in no regular business since he
was compelled by reason of his disease
to abandon the second hand store The
body is being held at the undertaking
establishment subject to the coroner
but the case is so plain that it is prob
able that no inquest will be held

Coffee was Doing the Work in Good Style.

Members of the same family are af-
fected differently by coffee drinking
One may feel the effect in disordered
stomach while another may have no
trouble with the stomach so far as
known, but have palpitation of the
heart and finally organic heart disease,
or perhaps in another the kidneys may
become affected.
AS an illustration, a family in MUIR
physboro, ILL.,, reports an experience.
Mrs. Cole discovered that the sour stom-
ach and nervous restless nights We're
caused by coffee drinking. Her mother
suffered from nervousness when coffee
was used, while the brother of the fam
lily became a wreck directly from coffee
drinking.
Mrs. Cole in her letter, says, referring
to her brother. HE went from one ply
stefan to another and his case puzzled
them all until he had tried IL different
physicians. Some thought he had apo
plexy others locomotor ataxia, some
advised operations to relieve the pres
sure at certain points, altogether his
case became so alarming that we were
afraid to have him alone. He frequent
ly tainted away. and was in a most
wretched condition.
Finally one of the physicians sug-

some of the symptoms, so he was per-
suaded to give up coffee and begin the
use of Postum Food Coffee. Then he
began to recover, and day by day the
old troubles left. Now he has gotten en-
tirely well. has gained about 30 pounds
and is the picture of health OF course
he and his family use Postum regularly
He says he would as soon drink a
spoonful of poison as of old fashioned
coffee.
When we first began to make Postum
it was boiled but a few minutes and
none of US liked it, but since we began
making it properly by having it boil
long enough to bring out the flavor we
all consider it superior to the old fash
iened coffee. 1t is delicious when made
right and that is easy
A number of our friends have been
cured of various ailments by leaving off
coffee and using Postum With Mrs
the coffee caused a smothering sensa-
ton, bloating and serious trouble with
the heart. She has entirely recovered
