THE WEEKLY
PANORAMA
FIFTY-sIx ARE DEAD.
Number of Lives Lost in Disaster to
Mining Town.

Number of Lives Lost in Disaster to
Mining Town.
The small mining town of Frank, in
southwestern Alberta, was almost
wiped out of existence early on the
morning of April 20. Fifty-six of its
inhabitants were killed by mass of
rock hurled from Turtle mountain,
overhanging the town, which crushed
dwellings and overwhelmed adjacent
coal mines. A vast crevasse opened
in Turtle mountain three-quarters Of
a mile long and many yards in width,
and vast mass of rock was precipi-
tated on the town below without a
moments warning. The Frank mines,
operated by the French Canadian Coal
company across the river from the
town, were seen to be buried under
hundreds of feet of rock, just as the
morning light was breaking. Inside
of five minutes from the first thunder
GUS shock and9before half of the town
realized what had happened, small
force of men had started to the relief
of the miners, despite the great risk
they ran of being buried under the
rocks still precipitated from the lofty
mountain top. The volunteer relief
force was unable to get into the mine,
but managed to get near enough to
determine that not man at the work
ings had escaped death. Many had
been fearfully mangled.
Many bodies will never be found.
Some cabins are buried under $50 feet
of rock. Although organized efforts
were made to search for bodies only
nineteen have so far been recovered.
Most were mangled almost beyond rec
ognition.
The yawning chasm three-fourths Of
a mile long, in the mountain, remains
open. The direct monetary damage
will exceed $1,5O0000. The actual loss

ROOSEVELT SPEAKS
THE PRESIDENTS VIEW REGARD.
ING TARIFF REVISION.
He Pronounces 1t Useless as a Trust
Remedy and Urges That No Rear

That portion of President Roose-

1903, relating to the question Of tariff
revision was as follows:

perity unparalleled not merely in our
own history, but in the history of any
other nation. This prosperity is deep
rooted and stands on a firm basis be-
cause 1t Is due to the fact that the
average American has In him the stuff
out of which victors are made in the
great industrial contests Of the pres

contests Of the past; and because he
Is now able to use land develop his
qualities to best advantage under our
well.established economic system. We
are winning headship among the ma

are able to keep their high average
of individual citizenship and to show
their mastery in the hard, complex,
pushing life Of the age, There will
be fluctuations from time to time In
our prosperity, but 1t will continue to
grow just so long as we keep up this
high average of individual citizenship
and permit it to work out its own sal
walton under proper economic legis-
lation.
"The present phenomenal prosper

was made in accordance with certain
fixed and definite principles, the most
important Of which is an avowed de-

Mrs. E. B. Bradshaw, Of
Guthrie, Okla, cured of a severe
case by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
A great many women suffer with
form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does not seem to yield to ordinary
medical treatment. While the symp-
toms seem to be similar to those Of
ordinary indigestion, yet the medl-
clnes universally prescribed do not
seem TO restore the patients normal
condition.
Mrs. Pinkham claims that there
is kind of dyspepsia that is caused
by arrangement of the female organ
ism, and which, while IL causes dis
turbance similar to ordinary indiges-
ton, cannot be relieved without a
medicine which not only acts as q
stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine
tonic effects as well.
Thousands of testimonial let
tiers prove beyond question that
nothing will relieve this DISTRESS
ing condition so surely as Lydia

HOPE FOR -ACHERS YET
They Will Probably Get Entries If Not

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-Officials
Of the general land office say that the
Minneap polls school teachers must not
think that because their timber and
stone entries have been suspended they
are not to get the land. AS a matter
Of fact, they are in the same fix as
every other entryman under the same
law and all are to be treated alike. The
order suspending timber and stone
entries in California, Oregon and
Washington was issued by Secretary
Hitchcock more than a year ago and
instructions were issued for special
examination of each case. Since that
time the land commissioner has pass
ed on a number of these entries and
has recommended that they pass to
patent But the secretary has not yet
taken any action and it will be some
months before the cases are disposed
of.

strued the law in a way that will not
prevent one who has made entry for
legitimate purposes from getting a

summer Hermann makes a flying trip
to the leading cities Of Europe and re-

able to present an entirely new enter

his feats of sleight of hand which are
