Coughing Spell Caused Death.

Harry Duckwell, aged 25 years,
choked to death early yesterday NOR
ming at his home, in the presence of
his wife and child. He contracted 2
slight cold a few days g and paid
but little attention to It,. Yesterday
morning he was seized with a fit OF
coughing which continued for some
time. His wife sent for a physician
but before he could arrive, another
coughing spell came on and Duck
well died from suffocation.--St. Louis

FUN AT THE DEPOT.
A Groom Turns Splinter and Breaks
the Record Off the Running
Hioh jump.


There was fun at the depot yester-
day morning. The day coach on the
morning train came in loaded with
passengers and rice. Written in large
letters on the outside of the day
coach was this legend: "This couple
was just married two hours before
daylight" The modest couple would
not give their names, but evidently
had been married some hours before
at one of the towns down the road.
They were beginning their blissful
honeymoon.
When the train stopped the groom
went to the bakery near by to secure
"a morning lunch for himself and
bride, leaving the bride on the train.
AS is the custom just about as soon
as the train is unloaded the train is
pulled up to the yards north of the
depot where the Pullman is attached
and it then backs down to the depot.
The young man was not aware of this
custom. Just as he emerged from the
bakery up Fifth street he saw the
train pulling out. What would any
young nan have done in such a
plight. He began to sprint. The
train increased in speed and so did
the Splinter. Fifty or more people
were standing around the depot as
the sprinter cut his way through the
crowd, pushing and running over
people at every jump. All saw the
joke but the Splinter. Everybody yell
ed at him to hurry or he would never
catch his bride. and the train kept
increasing the distance between him
self and his loved one. The crowd

ed the pile of new brick beside the
depot that is building. The pile of
brick must have been six feet high,
but he cleared it at a jump, and on
tinued his wonderful run until he had
raced about a quarter of a mile, when
the train backed back. But the sprin-
ter was on the inside when the train
came into the depot, and he must
have concealed himself in the water
cooler as a diligent search failed to
find the young groom, who had furn-
ished fifty people with more amuse-
ment than they had had for many a
day and at the same time had broken
all Roswell records for fast running
and high jumping.

Something to Consider.

The merchant in the average town
should be able to sell goods, class and
quality considered, as low as the large
city stores. He is under less expense,
and if no is up-to-date, can buy his
goods at as low a figure as the city
merchant, There is a laxity at times
observed in the management Of business
by some merchants in rural towns.
They depend too much on trade drifting
their way without making the proper
effort to gain it. In western state a
merchant who took it in his head to use
half page of advertising space in his
town paper, and this is only a place Of
only six hundred population, found that
within three months, by persistently
following up this plan Of publishing
prices and describing his goods, in
creased his trade more than a third.
From the position of doing about the
fourth amount of business of any store
in town, he rapidly raised to first place.
He is on the road to prosperity, and has
Ebeen a benefit to the town in general,
drawing trade to it that was never en-
ioyed before. This was done within
thirty miles of one Of the large western
cities, and with the department stores
of the city advertising in the same
paper.

METEoRIC SHOWER ON NOV. 10.
Astronomers Promise Brilliant Dis
play on Evening of This Date.

Astronomers promise a meteoric
shower for the night OF November ID
and ii their predictions do not prove
incorrect the heavens will be illuminate
ed with display which far eXcels any
that has been seen for a number Of
years. A sky searcher writes as follows
concerning the shower:
1.-THE notice commonly entertained
about space as being empty is certainly
very erroneous. The case is far other
wise. Innumerable small bodies, dark
and cold traverse that part of space in
| which the solar system 10 now i'll every
direction. Those in our neighborhood
revolve about the sun, which is as care
full to enforce obedience upon these
specks OF matter as upon the planets
| themselves; each has it's own curve,
and obeys the universal law of grayita-
ltion. These small bodies are called
meteors or shooting stars.
'aThere are certain nights in the year
on which they are more numerous than
on others, and come down in regular
showers. lnnumerable Of these quick
flashing lights, following one another in
quick succession, seem to shower upon
us and look as if all the stars had sud-
denly left their places in the armament,
dashed swiftly across portion OF the
sky and then vanished.
zone Of these grand and magnificent
displays may be looked for on the night
of Nov. IS.
"On the two nights Immediately pre-
ceding and succeeding this date there
will be more meteors seen than ordi-
narily, but on the 18th the main showers
are to come. This shower emanates
from the constellation, Leo, and the
meteors, therefor are called 'Leonidas.
Generally the display is not at all
times very brilliant, but once in every
33 years it is Of wonderful splendor
This is due to the fact that this
meteoric ring has period of 33 years
and, although the whole circumference
of the ring is thickly bespotted will
meteors, the main body Of them reaches
the earth's orbit only once in 80 years
The years 1888, 1866 and 1899 are record
ed as having witnessed the most bril-
liant and magnificent display of meteor
ic showers ever seen before. The yea
+. 1882 is the time predicted for the mex
, display.
"There is also ring of meteor
> through which, the earth passes in thu
latter part of November of each year
Their radiant point is in the constella
tion of Andromeda, and their period i
D only nine years.
"This shower comes generally on tn
. 9th or 18th Of November. This Shove
derives special interest from it's sup
posed connection with the lost Biela'
7 comet.
"The meteors pursue the same orb
7 as the lost comet, and it is possible tina
they are the products of it's disintegra

9 stead of the 9th of November, thei
usual date. This was due to disturb
ance of the orbit by the attraction c

saying:

apparatus we shall be compelled to
have it more accessible to the Uni
versity, so that during the regular
session of the university we can go
over on Saturdays to work. There
are a number of good locations near
Seattle, but at present | am rather
inclined to think that a spot near
Port Orchard is probably best suited
to our wants, provided we determine
to make the change.
''The citizens of Friday Harbor
have treated US very nicely and we
have been offered fine site if we will
make the permanent location of the
laboratory there. From the stand
point of simply summer laboratory
for work during the summer session
it is unexcelled. 1t may be that the
university authorities will see fit to
retain it as the permanent location
and erect the new buildings on the
site at present occupied.
'In case we should switch to Port
Orchard or some other down-Sound
point, we will probably fit up big
scow with dredges and other appar-
atus and work around over the Sound
during the summer time. And in al
most any event will always carry on
investiga tions at some period of the
year in the vicinity of Friday Har-
bor."
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1904-08-06

The Bellingham Reveille says that
a. message has been received there
by the local manager OF the Sunset
Telephone Company from Manager
Kent, Of the New Westminster &
Burrard Inlet Telephone Company,
of British Columbia, stating that the
latter company has decided to estab-
lish telephone-cable communica ton
between Victoria and Vancouver via
the islands and Bellingham regard
less of whether The United States
government aids in the project or
not. He and his assistants will stake
out the land lines preparatory to
starting work on the line in about
three weeks. The land line will be
strung first in order to make immed-
late connection with the cable, when
it arrives from England, which will
be in q month or six weeks. The line
will cross San Juan, Shaw, Orcas and
Lummi islands and cables of the best
English make, costing it is said $500
per mile, will be laid across the chan
nels separating the islands and across
the Canal de Haro between San Juan
and Vancouver islands The effort
to secure a rebate of duty on that
portion of the cable to be laid in
American waters was unsuccessful,
there being no authority OF law for
such action, but further effort will be
made to induce the government to
aid the project by paying fixed sum
annually for servce 1t is announced
that in the near future u government
official will make an investigation of
the route and submit a report on the
matter to Washington a later ar
ticle in the Bellingham Herald seems
to Indicate that there is still some
doubt as to whether the San Juan
route will be selected, and yet an edi-
torial item in the same issue says:
''The telephone project for connec-
tion with the islands and Victoria
seems about to be carried out. 1t will
be welcome improvement"
