It is beginning to dawn upon the friends of Col. Bryan that. a presi- dential boom is not century plant There is a disposition now to hold it in check in order that the boom may not mature and decay before the fall of 1908.

The attorneys oi young Mitchell at Seattle not unnaturally feel that young Thompson is crowding their client off the base. Two insanity pleas in the same community at the same time have a tendency to overtax a sympa- thetic public sentiment.

8EETS IN DANGER.

in one degree of zero last night. II re-
mained below the freezing point both
yesterday and today. This makes a
serious proposition for the beet grow.
erS. as there is estimated to be at least
10000 tons of beets either in the ground
or in small piles in the field protecte ed
by only a slight covering of beet tops.
In either case they are all badly frozen
and must entail considerable loss The
factory MANAGEMENT has issued instruc-
ticns to the growers to dig the beets
still in the ground as fast as possible,
stating that they will receive beets in a
frozen condition as fast as the factory
can grind them up, but in no case can
they store frozen beets.
Ii is a question whether the beets
stiii in the ground can be easily dug on
at count OF the severe freezing al
though the light covering of snow will
protect the ground from freezing as
deeply as it otherwise would do There
are probably about 10000 tons in the
ground and 10000 tons in piles in the
fields. II the weather stays reasonably
cool for some time 1t is probable that
the larger part of the beets still out
r1ay yet be marketed.

He took one of them out in the barn, and

over Fifty Lives Lost This Season
on ST. Lawrence Reefs

over Fifty Lives Lost This Season
on ST. Lawrence Reefs.
Over fifty lives were lost and nearly
score OF vessels were swept to de-
struction on trcacherous reefs and
sandbars Of the gulf and River st.
Lawrence during the season of naviga-
tion now closed OF sixty persons who
persisted in these waters within the
last year nearly fifty met death during
November, the most disastrous to ship
ping in the st. Lawrence in dozen
years. The financial losses aggregated
$25O,OO0.
The majority of those who persisted
were lost from squarc-rigged vessels
of foreign register. The most thrilling
wreck during the mouth was that Of
the Russian full-rigged iron ship Sovin-
to of Helsingfors, which struck on a
bar off Priests Pond, p. L. l., during
furious northeast gale, while on a
voyage from Dalhousie, \. b., for Mel
bourne. Australia, with a cargo Of
lumber Several of the crew were
killed by the falling spars. The big
ship broke in two soon afterward and
ten Of the Sovinto's men persisted.
Another disastrous wreck was that
of the Norwegian bark Adeona of Aren-
dial, which was driven ashore by the
same storm at Richlbucto. Capt. johann
sen and crew of ten men, one Of them
a German student, after remaining on
board two days, evidently feared that
the great seas which were constantly
dashing over the vessel would smash
her to pieces, and during the height
of the gale they launched boat and
attempted to reach land. The boat
was capsiZed by a comber and the en-
tire crew was drowned. The masts Of
the vessel went by the board and ey-
erything movable was swept into the
sea- The crew would have been saved
had they remained aboard ship, as the
hull withstood the tremendous seas for
ten days. When it was possible for a
life-saving crew to reach the derelict
the ships cat was found alive in the
forecaStle. The Adeona was bound
from Sexton for Preston, England,
with lumber.
Another Norwegian bark, supposed to
be the Magda, bound from Riviere Du
Loup, Quebec, for BuenoS Ayres, was
lost with all on board. The vessel
struck on Red Island reef and found
cred. It is thought that the captain,
his pilot and twelve men were lost
Half a dozen lives have been lost in
the wrecks of schooners during the
fall but only four on board the dozen
steamers stranded We're drowned.
