EARTHQUAKE OR ROCK SLIDE

FRANK, N. w. T., May Accord
ing to the latest information fifty-six
people lost their lives in the disaster
here Wednesday. 1t was undoubtedly
the worst disaster ever known in any
community in western Canada. 1t was
either rock slide of such magnitude
as to be almost inexplicable or to have
been induced by seismic unheaval.
Besides killing ffty-six people it
destroyed the plant of the American
Coal and Coke company did vast
amount of damage to the mine and
completely devastated about ten
square miles of the finest and most
picturesque region of Crows Nest Pass.
The estimates place the number of
dead at liz on the supposition that
seventeen men at work in the mine
shaft would not escape alive. Then
when it was known that these inn
prisoned men had escaped late yester-
day afternoon the number of killed
was estimated at ninetyfive. This
loss of life would not exceed sixty.
So far as actually known the fatalities
number fifty-six-
Many of the bodies of the dead will
never be found. Some cabins are
buried under $50 feet of rock. AL
though organized efforts were made
last evening and today to search for
bodies, only nineteen have so far
been recovered. Most of the corpses
were mangled almost beyond recogni-
ton.
The disaster happened at a quarter
past four, when the sleeping inhabi-
tants of Frank were awakened by a
tremendous crash, followed by
shaking of the buildings. 1t was still
dark and for a time the greatest con-
fusion prevailed, no one knowing just
what had happened. AS soon as day
dawned it was seen that the whole
side of the mountain had fallen away
and that the valley for a distance of
two miles was entirely checked up by
rocks and debris piled to an average
height of sixty feet.
simultaneously with the piling of
the rocks on Turtle mountain there
opened an immense fissure of the earth
on the northern side of Turtle noun
tain. This fissure extended for dis
tance Of three-cuarters of mile and
was many feet in width. This yawn-
Ing chasm still remains open, accord |
ing to reports brought in by men who /
have been on the other side of the
mountain.
In the downward rush of the debris I
and other material that was thrown |
up by the upheaval, the entire opera
ting plant of the French-Canadian
Coal company was carried away. The |
buildings demolished included the tip |
pie boiler house, engine house. electric I
light, railway scales, repair shops and /
a row of coke ovens.
Several houses owned by the com
pany were smashed into kindling, six
of them being entirely obliterated and
their occupants killed. Ten other
houses which were situated in the val
lev east of town were also smashed
and the people living in them were in
stantly killed.
The direct monetary damage VIII
exceed million and a half. The ac-
ual loss to the mine company Will
probably not exceed 100000. The Can
adian Pacific railway loses heavily
through the blocking of its tracks.

new and larger vessels, the Colonia
and Anglia The Scotia was a former
Cunarder. and was the last side wheel
steamer to cross the Atlantic. After
being withdrawn from that service the
ship was purchased and turned into a
cable vessel, being fitted with twin
screws and made in every way fit for
the business of laying and repairing
cables. The steamer is OF 5000 tons
burden, and Will make an excellent YES
sci for this station, although some of
the men who have sailed in it are OF
the opinion that it would be necessary
for the vessel to be kept we'll balIasted
all the time to give the stability needed
for repairing
The hull of the ship is in good condi-
ton, but there would have to be made
extensive repairs before the vessel
would be ready for service in this
trade. This would make practically a
new steamer of the Scotia. and would
make a fine addition to the fleet from
this port, for the repairs may be made
at an American port, and as they would
amount to the needed proportion of the
cost of the vessel, would entitle it to an
American register.

FIT CAUSES A
YOUTH TO DROWN
Leialoha Kane Falls Into Duck
Pond While Netting
Catfish. :

While fishing for catfish in duck pond
On the Waikiki road, just beyond the
present terminus of the Rapid Transit
line, a young native named Leialoha
Kane, 10 years of age, was attacked by
a fit and fell prone into the muddy
shallow water and before assistance
could be rendered, was drowned.
The police were notified by a woman
living at Waikiki, who said she had
seen a body floating in the pond
Lieutenant Leslie went out to investi-
gate and found the body as reported.
From the little sister of the unfortun-
ate youth, it was learned that he had
gone to the pond to fish, the little girl
accompanying him. The boy had been
subject to fits for a long time, and one
of these came upon him while he was
casting his net. Unable to help him
self, he fell headlong into the water.
The little girl was frightened, and in
stead of attempting to raise the boys
head out of the water ran all the way
home to tell her parents. When assist
ance finally did arrive the youth was
long dead.
The body was conveyed to the

IN HONOR
Of CABLE
Men Who Laid the
Line Guests at
Dinner.
MANY TOASTS CALL
FORTH ENTHUSIASM
Dancing Last Feature of an Even"
ing of Pleasure to Visitors
and Local Folk.

In honor of the coming of the cable,
the officers of the Silvertown and the
officials of the cable company, with
several others, were the guests of Man
| ager Wills of the Royal Hawaiian Ho-
tel last evening at dinner. The feast
| was followed by a dance, which drew
| to the hotel many of the best known
young people of the city and the even
ing was spent in a jollification.
The dinner was one of the most per-
feet that has been served in the hos
telry, and the appointments were in
entire keeping with the occasion, the
flags of the Silvertown draped over the
main entrance being the keynote, The
decorations were in red and white, the
carnations being set in high vases,
where their bright coloring was in
sharp contrast with the white napery
and the silver. Under red lights the
dinner proceeded and the whole affair
was carried off in the best of appoint
ments and the addresses showed the
spirit of unity which animated all those
who were in attendance.
The company gathered at $50
o'clock, and soon were seated in the
private dining room of the, hotel with
Manager Wills and Manager Dickinson
at the opposite ends of the table. The
dinner was one which brought before
the guests of the evening the delicacies
of the season, both of Hawaii and the
Coast, and was thoroughly enjoyed by
ALL During the discussion of the menu
there were many toasts proposed and
drank, among them being to President
Roosevelt, King Edward VII, the Cable,
and the Silvertown, as we'll as the per-
sons present and the future develop
ment of the Islands.
After the conclusion of the dinner
there was dancing on the lanais of the
hotel, which was kept up until late
hour. There were a number of the
young people of the city present, and
the evening was spent in the most in
formal way, the young men among the
visitors being made the favored guests
of the evening.
Those present at the dinner with the
host were Mr. Henry Benest, Captain
Morton, Captain Pattison, Mr.. Bar
well, Mr.. Rymer Jones, Mr.. Dickinson,
Mr. Gaines, Prince David Kawanana-

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Remedy Which Has Revolutionized
the Treatment of Stomach Troubles.

a kennedy WHICH has E(CROE4AAONkLG0
the Treatment of Stomach Troubles.
The remedy is not heralded as a Won
derful discovery nor yet &. secret patent
medicine, neither is it claimed to cure
anything except dyspepsia. indigestion
and stomach troubles with which nine
out of ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or lozenges, containing
vegetable and fruit essences, pure asep-
tic pepsin government test,) golden seal
and diastase. The tablets are sold by
druggists under the name of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets. Many interesting
experiments to test the digestive power
of Stuart's Tablets show that one grain
of the active principle contained in
them is sufficient to thoroughly digest
5000 grains Of raw meat, eggs and other
wholesome food
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and cheap
cathartics which simply irritate and in
fame the intestines without having any
effect whatever in digesting food or
curing Indigestion.
IF the stomach can be rested and as
sisted in the work of digestion It VIII
very soon recover its normal vigor, as
no organ is so much abused and over
worked as the stomach.
This is the secret. if there is any
secret of the remarkab bic success of
Stuartts Dyspepsia TABLETS. a remedy
practically unknown a few years ago
and now the most widely known Of any
treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has beer secured entirely
upon its merits as a digestive pure and
simple because there can be no stomach
trouble if the food is promptly digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act en-
tirely on the food eaten digesting it
completely. so that it can be assimiIated
into blood, nerve and tissue They cure
dyspepsia. water brasn, sour stomach.
gas and bloating after meals, because
they furnish the digestive power which
weak stomachs lack and unless thar
lack is supplied ii is useless to attempt
TO cure by the use Of tones. pills
ard cathartics which have absolutely
no digestive power
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found al all drug stores and the regular
use OF one or two Of them after meals.
viii demonstrate their merit better than
any other argument.
