Il building blowing over on her. She
was decapitated.
Over mile of the road bed of the
great gorge route at Niagara Falls has
been carried away by the high water. 1t
will require several weeks to make re-
pairs.
In Buffalo it is estimated that the
storm did from 81, 100000 to 100000
damage At Niagara Falls damage to
the amount of $4,000 was done to the
Great Gorge railroad, while in the heart
of the CITY buildings valued at about
$4,000 were demolished. From every
city and town along the lake front re
ports of great damage are received. In
land towns also suffered. The storm
lasted almost twenty-fOW hours, during
which time the wind varied from forty
two to eighty-tive miles an hour.
Greatest Loss to Shipping.
The greatest losses will be those sus-
tanned by marine interests. Of the TWEEN
ty-three vessels anchored under the lee
of the breakwater near the harbor en-
trance FIVE took the beach ut the foot of
Michigan street in yesterdays gale. The
boats ashore are: Hurlburt w. Smith.
William Nottingham. J. Q. Riddle, Mon
roe G. Smith. A. &. Bower. All these
vessels are modern frcightcrs of an aver
age valuation of $3350O0O. AS most of
them are still laden with grain their
total valuation is not far from $12,OOO,-
600.

will give the wreckers difficult job.
They are so far out that it is believed
the only way they can be released will
be by digging trenches around them and
practically relaunching the craft.
The Monroe c. Smith and the y. NJ.
Brewer, valued at S27J,0OO each are on
sandy bottom about five feet out They
are now loaded with grain.
The Riddle. 450 feet long. IS aground
with her stern Just south of Michigan
street. She is worth about 100000
She was light. and for that reason prob
ably suffered very much.
Other Vessels Hang On
The other vessels were better shell
tered when the gale WAS at its worst
but dragged their anchors in the stress
of the gale and tossed and swung to aud
fro for hours.

symptoms must receive attention that
they do not become aggravated to a
painful or dangerous state, II is the
CAUSE of the disease that most need
attention. In the older systems of
healing little does the public realize
how much of the treatment is given
to control symptoms, leaving the body
alone to struggle with the disease,
depending upes the disease being self
limited. How often do the textbooks
say, Not drug is known that will
do anything to check the disease" and
advise remedies to control symptoms? :?
With osteopathy this Is far different.
1t Is acknowledged by all schools that
disease originates lowered vitality of
the part affected. The cause of tn s
weakened condition is the proper
point of treatment. This is found in
the field of osteopathy in the slight

London, April 15.-.-After a lapse
of five years since the first confer
ence of its kind was held, the Rrit-
lsh Colonial conference, made up of
the premiers and other representa-
tivcs of England and self-governing
colonies, assembled in London today
to discuss important matters that are
OF mutual interest to the component
parts of the empire.
Sitting out the matters which a
majority of the colonies regard as
relatively most important, the first
place IL to be given to the question of
the constitution of the imperial con-
ference itself. The wisdom of max
ing It a Permanent institution of the
imperial conference itself. The wis
dom of making IL a permanent insti-
tuition, which shall meet at stated in
tervals and discuss the questions
which affect the British empire, will
be considered. Canada is not much
in favor OF making the conference a
permanent institution. The senti-
ment of a majority of the colonies
Is that the conference. If made per-
manent, should he purely an advis-
DRY board.
Next to the nature and extent of
this permanent council itself, in the
event that 1t is established, the ques-
tion OF greatest moment to be dis
cussed is that of a preferential tar
If. While the government now in
power in England is de fintely COM
nitted to oppose this system of a
preferential tariff, more than one
OF the colonies is now insisting upon
It, and the indications are that 1t
will be a leading featrc in the ris-
dusSion. The advocates of a prefer
entail tariff maintain that existing
tariffs can be reduced in favor Of the
colonies on reciprocal basis, and
thus knit the empire into one homog
enous whole without sustaining
any loss.
How far the colonies shall con-
