In returning Thursday afternoon the
yacht grounded on Bear Island bar,
and is believed that the campers, anx-
ious to get ashore, persuaded Capt
Hersey to take them all in his little 10
foot tender.
Jackson, the driver of a blackboard,
that was waiting for the party at the
landing, was first to notice that the lit
tie craft had overturned, but although
he gave the alarm Immediately, the
nearest row-boat was a small dory,
half a mile away.
When jackson saw the overturned
boat several were clinginS to the bot
tom. The little dory was the first to
reach the scene. but only Mr.. VeditO
showed signs of life. He was taken
ashore and sent home.
The bodies of three of the other vic

Destructive Prairie Fires

Lawton, Okla, Special.-Reports
received here indicate that five per-
sons have been burned to death and
5000 square miles Of territory in
Kiowa and Comanche counties swept
by prairie fires Hundreds of people
are homeless and it is impossible to
estimate accurately the financial loss,
owing to the wide extnt of country
affected. Following is partial LIST
of the killed and injured:
D. Harmond, living six miles north
east of Lawton, burned to a crisp;
John Hammond, cannot live; A. n.
Crawford, near Lawton, seriously
burned; Mrs. Henderson, widow ilv-
ing near Lawton, and two daughters,
seriously burned one cannot live.
Report says that more fatalities
are expected, as the reports from
some districts are meagre.

Washington Special-Armed with
3S-caliber revolver, William C'Brlen,
alias William Duffy, an insane dis
charged soldier, entered the War De-
partment, and going to room 221, IN
the mail and record division, shot
Robert ]. Manning, a messenger, and
Arthur Weicker, clerk. Miss EN-
ma SaXton, another clerk, barely
missed being shot. Manning's wound
is considered dangerous. Wacker
was shot in the ieft arm above the
elbow. Before the maniac could fire
a third time he was overpowefed by
James j. Dawson, messenger. 1t
required the combined strength OF
half a dozen persons to finally subdue
the man. Prominent among them
was Lieut.. General Adna R. Chaffee,
chief of staff. The lunatic still held
the smoking weapon in his hand
when Gen. Chaffee noticed it. and
with his left hand on the mans throat
took the weapon from him, and also
the papers in his pockets.

For q DispenSary.

Wilmington, special.-Those who are
IN a position to know say that within
ten days the campaign for dispensary
in Wilmington will be launched in
earnest. However, the temperance ad-
vocates will make no effort to rout the
open saloons before the first OF next
January. The necessity for vote
upon the question 90 days preceding
the regular election in November is as
signed as the reason for drawing the
lines so early. Should the anti-saloon
clement postpone the election as late
as August. it would then be too late
to close the saloons in January, in
the event that they are successful. The
requisite number Of names were Sc
cured to a petition calling for the elec-
ton during last fall.

The French Minister of Agriculture
has received from the Riviera a report
which shows that the orange growers
are threatened with the worst OF ca
lamities. A microscopic insect, scien-
tificallv known as chrysumphalus
minor. is the cause Of an orange dis
ease as potentially destructive as the
potato disease which spread famine
and devastation over Ireland 81 years
ago. NJ. Belle, an expert in Nice, has
been investigating the origin and pro-
pagation OF this malady among the
oranges. The council of the depart
ment of Nice has taken the matter in
hand Orange growersa are combining for
the extirpation of chrysumphalus

imported rom America some years

relations were detected in Florence.

RUssIA'S WARSHIPS BOTTLED
New Battleships Will Not Be Avail
able Until the End of August.

London, By Cable.-Litle change In
the far Eastern situati-n is reported.
1t is apparent that the Japanese are
busily engaged in transporting their
forces into Korea, and this work IS be-
ing facilitated by the enforced mac
tivity OF the navy.
According to the Sebastopol corre-
spondent of The Daily Graphic, Ad-
miral Skrydloff has learned privately
from Port Arthur that the Russian bat
tleship Retzivan lies IN such position
as to block effectually the exit OF bat
tleships from the harbor, the pa sage
being practicable only for cruisers. The
correspondent adds that the Russian
new battleships now building on the
Baltic will not be ready for active COM
mission before the end Of August.
The japanese official who has charge
of Japans financial and commercial
interests in England declares that his
government foresaw the possibility OF
coal being declared contraband Of war
and that it had been collecting large
stores of Welsh steam coal for years, so
that today it has a supply sufficient
for the needs OF the navy for years to
come.
Russia Feels Easier.
St. Petersburg, By Cable.-There eX-
lists high authority for the statement
that Russia now has a reason to feel
more tranquil regarding the attitude OF
Great Britain.
The real reason for the visit to St.
Petersburg of Count Benckendorn,
Russian ambassador to Great Britain,
while ostensibly to see his son Of to
the far East, was personally to assure
his government of his belief that the
Japan's ally were ill-founded, and
Great Britain. although standing by
the obligations Of the Anglo-Jak kanese
treaty, would not move unless conf
PEELED so to do by the entrance into
affairs in the far East Of thir1
power.
AS the Associated Press is also credi-
bly informed. the British and French
governments have reached a thorough
understanding, by which they have
pledged mutual non-interference. Rus
sian now feels much more secure
against European complications.

YOU mean that they never practiced
plural marriages or that they de-
clared against the doctrine?"
Mr.. Smith answered again that
MANY thousands in the church had
declared against the principle Of plu-
raj marriages as given to the church
in a revelation from Joseph Smith,
Jr. To bring out the effect OF refus.
ing to subscribe to the teachings OF
the church, Mr.. Hoar asked number
of questions, and Mr.. Smith said:
"The principle of revelation Is the
fundamental principle Of the charac-
ter"
Have you ever received such
revelation direct from God asked
Mr.. Taylor.

lation except that God has shown me
that Mormonism is Gods divine

He said revelations had not come

For intelligent Jurymen.

The pendulum is swinging the
other way in the matter of juror
qualifications and it will not be long
before it will be required that in order
to be qualified to sit on a jury a man
must not only be a reader but must
knowsomething of the case besides
what he gets from neighborhood
gossip.
A Missouri Judge who shut off OBJ
jections to newspaper readers as jury
men in q case before him last week
by declaring that they were the only
persons fit to act in that capacity, is
the latest exponent of this reversion
of sentiment in the matter of Jury
service. The preposterous idea that
the ignorant class of citizens who do
not read the newspapers should be
used as jurymen, which rule the law
yers in criminal cases always try to-
maintain, has very nearly run its
course.
