SIMPLE LIFE WARDS OFF ILLS.
Cancer Fare Among All saVages, Says
SaVant.

That cancer can be warded off by
the simple life" is the lesson learned
by DR.. Nicholas Sem, who returned
to Chicago recently from an extended
tour through the interior of Africa.
In describing his explorations through
the dark continent" DR.. Seen de-
clared that the nearer man approach
ed the lower animals in simplicity OF
habit and diet the less liable is he to
cancerous growth. He said cancer is
almost unknown among the natives OF
the interior of Africa, because of the
simple habits of the people, and that
civilized man is like a dollhouse plant
and cancer due largely to o%vernutri-
ton and luxurious living.
DR.. Sem went to study the pyg-
mics and aboriginal C of that coun-
try and the pests which infest it.

FOREST FIRES IN BOUNDARY
Timber AbIaze for 20 Miles Along C.
P. r. System in B. c.


The forest in the section along the
Columbia & Western railway between
Cascade and the Bull Dog tunnel is
ablaze in places. The flames have
reached Farron, where they destroyed
the station, roundhouse, the water
tank and a large boarding house, en-
failing a loss of about $4,000.
The employees of the railway at Far
ron made a strong fight against the
flames, which after destroying the
Buildings passed on toward the Bull
Dog tunnel. The fires now extend
along the road for about 20 miles and
the entire available Canadian Pacific
railway force from Cascade to Rob
son is en%deavoring to save the
trestles, of which several are high and
long. There had been an unusually
long, dry, hot season and once a fire
is started in the forest it burns itself
out, as there is no means of stopping
It.

BANK FAILS.
MILWAUKEE, AVENUE STATE BANK
CLOSED ITS DOORS.
President Stensland and Cashier Her
ring Have Disappeared-Warrants
Are Out for Them-Bank Had TO-
Oepositors and Over Four Million
on Deposit.

Chicago, Aug. with a deficit in
its accounts estimated close to a mill
ion dollars and with the whereabouts
of two of its high officials unknown
to the authorities, the Milwaukee Ave-
nue. State bank, one Of the largest out
lying banks in the city, vas closed by
State Bank Examiner @. G. Jones. In
the excitement following the bank s
close J. @. Wiser an official of the
Royal league, who had on deposit in
the bank funds of that order, fell dead
of heart failure.
The failure was responsible for the
death of one of the depositors and led
to the suicide of another man who a
mouth ago had placed his earnings OF
a lifetime in the institution for safe
keeping. Henry Koepke, a small gro
Ger, on hearing that the bank had sus-
pended, went to the rear Of his store
and shot himself. He died a few min
utes later while being taken to a hos
pital
Riotous scenes followed the an
nouncement of the failure and a large
force of police struggled all day to
keep an excited crowd of depositors-
nearly all of them foreigners and many
of the women-from bursting in the
doors of the bank. The fact that the
bank was on of the verge of failure
was first revealed by President Paul
o. S~tenlsand, one of the absent Off
Gals. A letter to his son, Theodore,
who is vice president, written from St.
Paul, started the investigation which
brought about the suspension.
Another sensational feature of the
affair was the disappearance of the
cashier, Henry w. Herring, and the
issuing of q warrant for his arrest. The
news spread rapidly throughout the
city. The bank for years had been a
popular depository for funds saved by
working people. Soon a clamorous
crowd gathered before the doors and
demanded admission.
Anticipating trouble, a score of po-
licemen were hurried to the cene. The
people were permitted to file past the
doors bearing the posted notice and
we're compelled to keep moving. Only
those having keys to safe deposit vaults
we're allowed to enter.
The shortage is estimated between
$3.50, 900 and 81 ,000, 900.
Disastrous speculation in real estate
and in the security market is said to
be responsible. Memoirs of the clear
ing house committee were told that
most of this amount vas wholly unpro-
tected by adequate collateral.
The institution was known as a fam
lily bank" The Stensland family, for
years we'll known residents of the north
west side, held much of the stock and
members of the family operated the
bank. 1t was organized in 1891 with
a paidup capital of $3.50, 600 and sue
ceeded the banking firm of Paul o.
Stensland 81 Co. A statement made by
Vice President Stensland today showed
1851, 900 in cash on hand. He said
that the bank carried deposits of $4,-
200, 900 and had 90, 200 depositors.
The last report of the bank was made
on June 10. Inquiry at all the hotels
in st. Paul and other places where be
would likely be known failed to locate
Paul o. Stensland. Search for him is
being continued.

PET DEER KILLED MASTER.
Herbert Bradley Found Dead in q
Ravine at Montclair; N. j..

Montclair, N. 1.-THE shocking
death of Herbert Bradley, a million.
aire flour importer, with offices in
New York, who was found dead at
the bottom of a picturesque rayine
in the deer part Of his costly and
beautiful estate on Eagle Rock Way,
near Montclair, with a wound In his
thigh which had severed the femoraI.
artery, has been thoroughly investt-
gated. ~
The result confirms the theory
that Mr.. Bradley met his death in q
desperate struggle with one OF his
deer, a large buck about four years
old, with long antlers. !
Chief Gallagher and Deputy. Coun-l
ty Physician Herbert Simmons looked
among the herd of deer as they
roamed about the park to ascertaihs
whether any of them bore the marks
of the struggle. AS soon as the big
buck came into view they plainly
saw that its antlers were covered
with blood and that there were a
number of blood spots about the
legs and body. The animal which
slew its master still acted wildly and
defiantly, and in. order that 1t might
do no further harm the Chief drew
his revolver and promptly killed IT.
This animal was Mr.. Bradley's Ia
yorite pet in the entire herd OF fifteen
deer. None had ever attacked him
before.
MI. Bradley was fo%rty-one years.
