THIS MAN WAS ALWAYS COLD.
Wears Heavy Clothing and an Over
coat In Midsummer.

CANTON, Feb. 9.-Among the latest
arrivals here this week was Frank M
Bemis,. travelling man for Michigan
furniture house. Bemis is to be pitied,
for he is afflicted with a strange dis
ease which the doctors are unable to
cure. and which renders it impossible
for him to keep warm, even during the
hottest days of the summer.
The year around he is obliged to
wear five suits of underclothing. a
heavy overcoat, large pair of boots
and several pairs of socks. Despite
all of this he is always cold. He rare
ly contracts cold and possesses a
hearty appetite. He sleeps under eight
blankets, a number of quilts and does
not take off his clothes. Notwithstand-
ing this he is none too warm. While
at home his gas bill is in the neighbor-
hood of $50 month.
He has been at number OF resorts
to obtain relief for his strange disease,
but received no help whatever. Ply
csiians are unable to determine the
cause of his condition.

WASH0UTS PREVENT GAMES
Pullman and Colfax Cut OH-Arrange-

Decentralization of railroad service
caused by washOuts is playing havoc
with entertainments scheduled by the
students of Whitman college.
There was no basketball game with
Colfax last night and it is doubtful
whether Pullman will be able to get
down here for the big Intercollegiate
games next week.
The failure of Maud Ballington Booth
and Howard Vincent Milligan to APP
pear as scheduled was due to the same
cause, and the managers of the Whit
man lecture course are wondering
whether Rev. Newell Dwight Hills.
the great Brooklyn preacher, who is
dated for next Saturday, will be able
to fulfill his engagement.
Besides all these troubles the delay
in mail service is causing no end of
trouble in arranging for coming inter-
collegiate affairs. Judges have not
been selected yet for the intercollegiate
debate with Pacific university which
occurs here On February %, and the
