STATISTICS COMPILED TO DATE.

ton has Been so Disastrous to

Will Add to Largest List.

The record of navigation on
the great lakes since these bodies
Of water became great highways

season just closing has been the
most disasterous. There have
been stormy seasons on Lake
Superior and other lakes, but it
is claimed by the Oldest sailors
that this is the very worst. ST.

nearly zoo lives have been sacri-

this will not cover the actual
figures. During the year seven

The western end of Lake Super

will total 33 lives lostand 18 boats
wrecked.
Coming as it did after weeks
of the finest fall weather in q
number of years the big storm
probably caught more boats out
than would naturally be the case
this late in the fall. AS a usual
thing at this time of the year the
boats are prone to hug the shore
closely and keep as near shelter
as possible, but the exceedingly
good weather of the previous few
weeks had made these precau-
tions seemingly needless.
Another cause for the great
damage done on the western end
of Lake Superior, was the long
sweep of the wind across the
lake. The wind was so high that
it was impracticable to seek the.
usual shelter and the boats were
either compelled to ride it out or
be driven on the shore, and the
utter inability of the boats to do
the former against the driving
gale and IN the teeth of the blind
ing snow storm that shut out all
guides to navigation is not.
wondered at. In short the COM
bination of circumstances were
such as made the storm one to
be remembered. People at the
head of the lakes will ever here
after have a wholesome regard
for the daring of the men who
are willing to risk their lives n
the waters of the Great Lakes.

Feter Swanson Dropped Dead at DR..
MitcheII's Office.
HAD CALLED FOR TREATMENT.
Mr. Swanson Came Here From Michigan
Last Spring and has Been Living
With His Brother-in. Law on
Farm Since That Time.

Peter Swanson. who has been re-
siding with his brother in-law John
Soderstrom il. the Four Mile Creek
district since last May, when he
came here from Michigan, died very
suddenly at the Office of j. r. Nit
chel in this city last Friday after
noon from the bursting of large
artery in the abdomen. Mr.. Swan-
son had driven to town in the morn
ing for the purpose of consulting a
doctor owing to his poor health, and
so serious was his condition that DIR.
Mitchell had stepped out to try and
find him place to stay so that he
might receive treatment. He had
been gone about five minutes and
when he returned found the
man dead.
The remains were taken to-. the
undertaking establishment of Esta-
brook and Olson, and upon request
from DR., Mitchell a coroner's inquest
was held in the afternoon for the
purpose of investigating into the
cause of his death. An autopsy was
held by Doctors Lampson and Mer-
tens and the jury returned verdict
finding that the man had come to
his death from the bursting of the
abdominal aorta.
The funeral will be held next Sun
day and the remains inferred in the
Protestant cemetery.

Hanitch is Endorsed.

Louis Hanitch of Superior,
Attorney for the Northern Paci-
fic Railway company and we'll
known in this city, has been en-
dorsed by the Douglas County
Bar Association for the position
of Justice of the Supreme Court.
The people Of the state will be
called upon to elect a member of
the court at the election next
April. The election of a Justice
at that time will complete the
membership of the court. The
people decided, by ratifying an
act of the Legislature, that the
Supreme court should have seven
members. This was voted upon in
the spring of 1904. Last spring
j. G.. Kerwin was elected as the
sixth mem Der over LouisK Luce
Of Superior. It has been held
ever since that time that the
northern part of the state should
be entitled to representation on
the Supreme Court. Several
members of the Douglas Cou nty
Bar were candidates but Mr..
Hanitch received the endorse
ment.

ADA REHAN IS I'LL
WITH APPENDICITIS

NEW YORK, July 4.-Private
cables received here by friends of
Miss Ada Rehan announced that the
actress, who recently left New York
for England is lying dangerously ill
in London.
Miss Rehan, said the cables, has
been stricken with appendicitis and
her condition is believed to be very
serious. She is visiting Lady Bar
rington.
1t was determined that her illness
was a case of appendicitis, but as
she is of an extremely nervous tenn
permanent it was feared that were she
told the real nature OF the attack it
would greatly alarm her and weaken
the strength that would be necessary
to undergo the operation. So she is
in ignorance yet as to the character
of her illness.
She has the best medical attend
ance and while it is hoped she may
| resist the attack and perhaps make
it unnecessary to resort to surgical
operation, her London friends are ex-
ceedingly anxious about her condi'
| ton.

500 marriage ceremonies have been
performed in St Joseph during the
month of June, and all but a very

this city.
Last Sunday 80 persons were made

One thousand dollars Is the esti-
mated damage resulting from the fire
which ravaged the shed occupied by
the Spokane Mattress factory on the
big island yesterday afternoon.
The fire started about 4 o'clock and
for a time threatened to destroy the
main building. A strong wind was
blowing and the firemen had all they
could do to save the larger structure
Chief Myers of the fire department
stated that in his opinion the damage
would easily reach $1,000. II. ]. Car
man, one of the owners Of the fac
tory, stated that the machinery alone
would amount to a considerable loss
for there were three machines valued
at $500 each in the building. The
shed was owned by the Washington

SALOON ISSUE
IN OLD OHIO

COLUMBUS, o., July 4.-John M.
Pattisons nomination for governor
by the democrats not only emphasizes
the temperance question as an issue,
but it eliminates national issues from
the discussions.
With the temperance and church
people supporting Pattison and the
brewers and liquor people supporting
Herrick. party lines, in a very large
measure, will be obliterated.
Involved in the result is the life or
death of the Anti-Saloon league Of
Ohio. If Pattison wins, the league
will become q more potential factor
in Ohio politics than it has yet been,
and if Herrick is elected its influence
will wane. The Anti-Saloon league
officers understand and appreciate the
situation and so do the brewers and
liquor people.
