NHAT IS THE REMEDY?

| professor placed in his hands lantern
saying, "Take it, George, it will light you
home a step at time" And this Is what
the Bible does.
That lantern did not light up the for
ests, nor make luminous the landscape; 1t
was not meant that it should, but it made
every step bright.
Man was lost by hearing Satan. He
can only be saved by hearing God. Plant
your feet firmly by faith on one single
promise. and God will begin at once to
make clear the way if you will only believe
Him.

but Russian Oculists who have been
closely studying the subject now main
tain that. on the contrary. it is less in

reason for this statement they point

FALSE STORY OF PoPE's DEATH
Pontiff Not Very Strong and Grants
Fewer Audiences.


Rome, June 15.-General astonish-
ment was produced here by kilograms
which poured in. especially from vi
emma and Berlin. announcing the death
of the Pope. A rush was made for
the Vatican to obtain news, and it
was found there that there was no
change in the condition of the Pope.
His holiness, though not quite so
strong as before. owing to his last
attack of hemerrhoids, leads his ordi-
nary life. except that he grants fewer
audiences.
All rumors regarding the Pope's IN
disposition and premature reports of
his death are kept from him as far
Rs possible. as they give him much
concern, for the pontiff takes them
most seriously.

blage was present in Armory Hall last
night to listen to the grand concert
Of the Northeastern Saengerbund. Ev'
cry one Of the 5000 seats in the audi
torium was occupied, 5000 singers
were on the stage and standing room
was at a premium.
President Roosevelt occupied a mag
Efficiently decorated box and his ap-
pearance was the signal for unbound
ed enthusiasm and prolonged ap-
plause. After the delivery of his ad-
dress President Roosevelt resumed his
seat and spent nearly an hour lis
tening to the chrouses and solos. He
was particularly anxious to hear some
of the singing, and when the schedule
of his trip was being made he ar
ranged it so that he could spend at
least an hour in the armory Some
Of the best choruses of the week were
scheduled to take place while the
president was here, after which he
quietly left the building in time to
catch the train for Washington.
Extraordinary precautions we're ta-
ken to guard the president while in
this city. An escort of 400 police
guarded his carriage to and from the
depot, and no person was allowed to
It.

Portland. Ore. June 16.-Five hun
dred people lost their lives in a cloud
burst that almost entirely destroyed
the town Of Heppner, Ore. Heppner
5s the county seat of Morrow county,
and had about 1850 inhabitants.
All the telegraph and telephone
wires are down and no accurate infor-
mation can be obtained, but the esti-
mate Of loss of life is based on the
most reliable reports received. A re-
port from lone, II miles from Hepp-
ner Is to the effect that over 300 bodies
have been recovered. A messenger
who arrived there said a wall of wa
ter IS feet high rushed down into the
gulch in which the town is separated,
carrying everything before It, Entire
families are among the dead.
The food came with such sudden
ness that the inhabitants were unable
20 seek places of safety and were car
ried down to death by the awful rush
of water.
Almost the entire residence portion
OF the town was destroyed, but some of
the business part, which is on higher
ground, escaped. Huge boulders
weighing a ton were carried down by
the current. and many people were
killed by being dashed against the
rocky bluff Early in the afternoon a
thunder storm occurred, covering a
wide region of country, and later a
heavy rain set in. many of the small
streams Overfiowing their banks in a
-
like straws. Soon as possible after the
food had subsided the work Of relief |
was commenced by the citizens. Doz- |
ems Of bodies were found lodged along |
the bends of Willow Creek, and in sew |
eral places they were piled over one
another Over 200 bodies have been /
recovered almost within the city limits. |
The buildings which were not carried |
away were moved from their founda-
fions or toppled over Hundreds of
horses, cattle. sheep and hogs that had
gone into the creek bottoms for water
persisted.
News Of the calamity did not reach
the outside world until late yesterday,
all the means of communication having
been cut off. AS soon as possible news
was sent by courier to the nearby
towns. The Oregon Railway and Nav
tgation Company started a relief train
with 600 men and supplies from The
Dailes. Another train started for the
scene from this city. The citizens of
Portland started a relief fund as soon
as the news Of the disaster spread over
the city, and within few hours $4,000
was raised. Supplies will be rushed to
EIeppner as son as they can be assem-
bled.
Fifteen buildings in the town of Lex
lngton, nine miles below Heppner, on
Willow Creek. were washed away. but
with no loss of life, the inhabitants
hayink had time to save themselves
from the surging torrent.
At Iona, Is miles away, considerable
damage was done to buildings, but no
loss Of life is reported from there.
