CONCLUDE THE
VALENCIA CASE
0NE-FIFTH OF SOULS ABOARD
RESCUED
Various Sea Captains Testify That No
More Could Be Done by Human
Agency Than Was
BY Associated Press.

VICTORIA, B. c., Feb 20.-The
Valencia inquiry was concluded today
when superintendent Hussey of the
Provincial testified to the work of re-
covering bodies submitting state
ment showing that of 1874 people on
board thirty-four we're saved and
thirty-two identified and seventeen UNI
identified bodies were recovered.
Captain Langley, who was on the
Queen, said nothing could be done from
sea to rescue or recognize those on the
wreck. The Gar had no boats that
could be lowered then. He had stripped
the wrecked bark Vesta some years
ago near where the Valencia was lost,
and although the weather was fine had
to use RATS.
Captain Gaudin announced that the
Pacific Steamship company had sent
check for $3.50 to Mrs. Patterson,
wife of. the lighthouse keeper at Cape
Beale, in recognition of her heroic SER
vices and he would recommend that
the government reward her. Mr.. Lu-
grin said Major Morley had suggested
the commissioners might do something
t. secure recognition for those who
distinguished themselves incident to
the disaster from the Carnegie fund.
The commissioners will not render
decision until after reviewing the
evidence of the twelve sessions.

GAMBLING WITH DEATH
What Many of UsAre Doint Three Time
Day

For everything we get something is
taken away. Every act pulls two ways.
Some men in power dole out their souls
for it. They can't have soul and power
at the same time.
And So in this quick-living age, most
of us can't have energy and health at
the same time. One or the other must
be lost, and it is usually health.
We know we are doing wrong and
would like to reform, but we have
morbid fear of being laughed at if we
aim to live and eat according to con-
science and good sense.
Some of us break away for awhile
and enslave ourselves to a diet. We
read about the hardy Scotsman being
fed on porridge and oatcake, making
soldiers of muscle and dash, and how
Caesars army was fed on corn. But
the diet doesn't last long We quickly
swing back into the great line, eating
and drinking to fullness like the rest,
eating anything and everything, at any
time, and any way we find it. We say
what is a stomach for if it isn't to
obey the palate?'
But there is really no one rule APP
plcable to everybody's stomach. What
one man may eat another may not,
But the dyspeptic should remember
that the death list has dark shadow
lowering over it with a long bony
finger pointing to died of heart dis
ease" Physicians will tell us that there
are few cases of heart disease that do
not come from stomach arrangement.
At every meal we may be brewing

That's the gamble you are taking.

Therefore, if you feel your food lies

and at once. Take Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, the most powerful tablets in
the world for the relief of all kinds of

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The diplo-

American republics in this city are dis
cussing with great interest the speech
made by Secretary Root at the dinner
given by the Brazilian ambassador
in his honor and in honor of the coun-
tries which will send delegates to the
Pan American congress in Rio de

Mr.. Root talked chiefly about the
Monroe doctrine and spoke in part as
follows:
when President Monroe. coming to
the aid of struggling Spanish America,
made the audacious and gallant decla-
ration that no part of the American
continent must be deemed subject to
colonization by any European power,
he affirmed the proposition that all
the American republics are competent
to maintain throughout their terri
tories governments answering to the
demands of civilization, preserving
order, enforcing the Jaw. doing justice
and performing all international obli-

From information received by the
police of late it is found that the

the police put considerable faith are

MURPHY SIMPLY A TOOL

Mineral Point Tribune: So far as
the Tribune knows, Mr.. Murphy,
the congressman-elect, is a gentle
man of standing, a former Re-
publican, a business man of integrity
and lawyer of ability. He will
have an opportunity and the
honor of filling a congressman's
seat one term if he lives that
long, but he will in the coming presi-
dental elet1on be succeeded by a
Republican, if the party has the
good judgment to pull itself to-
gether for the common veal.
Nothing is more certain than the
fact that this strong Republican
third district will chose man of
that faith to the national Legislature
at the presidential election.

TO BE SCARCE.
Reports Say Turkeys Are Scarce
Other Game Plentiful,

Reports from the country regard
ing the annual supply of turkeys
are discouraging as is usual at this
season of the year. People of the
city who are not favored with coun-
try relatives having a barnyard full
of fat strutting turkeys, will do well
to engage their piece de resistance
for their Thanksgiving dinners
ahead Of time, as present 1ndica-
lions point to scarcity of the ma
tional fowl, while prices unquestion.
ably will soar until they will not be
within reaching distance of the
ordinary mortal.
Reports from farmers throughout
the state with reference to the fall
turkey crop are very gloomy, as the
season apparently has NOT seen a
good one for raising turkeys, and as
a result farmers will not be able to
meet the demand. Chickens, ducks
and geese, however, are plentiful,
and the last of November will find
a we'll supplied market in that line.

BETTER THAN MEDICINE.

Physicians generally agree that
one of the best safeguards of good
health is a daily walk in the open
air-a constitutional as it is some
times termed by those who follow
the practice. Not only is 1t re-
garded as preventative of disease,
but it is being recommended more
and more by reputable physicians
as a cure for many common all
ments, especially those OF a pull
monary character. Many physicians
who are honest with their patients
advocate walks in the open air for
cases that a few years ago they
would have sent to bed. They
recognize that nature has way OF
healing and curing many physical
troubles without the use of drugs
and nostrums, and in order to give
nature the opportunity they send
their patients out in the fresh open
air, where the exercise, the sun
shine and the health giving ozore
combined can repair the 1nroads OF
disease and put new life and vigor
into the system.
The habit of walking is an excel
Dent one to form. Busy men and
women make the excuse that they
have no time TO take walks, but this
is because they do not realize how
beneficial walking is. When it is
too late they sometimes try the
remedy which is so cheap that it il

should make it point to take 6

1t is also said that prices will be
reasonable.
The price of turkeys will probably
be 20 cents per pound at Thanksgiv-
ing time, with possibility that it
will go up to twenty-five.
Dealers say that they realize
more profit from the sale of the
birds at sixteen than at 20 cents per
pound for at the former price many
more families can afford to buy one
whereas at twenty cents, they must
