But we can only hope to meet thee
In brighter world aboye.
Yes, when our trials here are over
And to better land we can go
TO meet our dear loved ones
On the happy, beautiful shore.
Dear Eva, farewell, farewell.
Peaceful be thy grave so low.
You are gone from US to heaven,
Where there is no sorrow to know
Her Loving Friend.

Los Angeles, Oct. 5.-Y esterday was a day of atmospheric disturbance and phenomenal weather throughout south ern California. Reports received from various quarters report a verit- able pot pourrie of weather conditions. Snow storms visited one section, a cloudburst hit another, and rain, with heavy wind storms, swept over the whole country. Sand storms are re- ported as having done much damage in sections lying close to the desert lands.
 Seddon, Oct. 7.-About midnight last night the citizens living in the vicinity of the First National bank were startled by an explosion. Four bandits had entered the bank and blown open the safe. A number of the citizens, realizing what had hap pened, dressed hurriedly and rushed to the street in an attempt to head of the robbers. A running fight follow ed in which several hundred shots were exchanged. Sheriff Williams was killed and number of citizens injured. It is not known whether any of the bandits were hit. They made good their escape, taking with them five hundred and seventy-tive thousand dollars. Possess are now out searching the country and every effort possible will be made to capture the robbers.
 Seattle, Oct. IA terrific gas eX- plosion in the second level of the Ray ensdale Coal mine, in which several persons were injured and from the effects of which Harry Mcdonald, the store manager is either dead or dy- ing, is reported here. The accounts are to the effect that the mine has caved in, and is on fire, and that fur ther explosions are expected The news is meagre, and it is not stated whether or not there are others in the mine whose lives are in danger.
 Washington, Oct 7.-Orders requir- ing the immigration inspectors along the British Columbia line to keep q strict lookout for Asiatic coolies ard to positively prohibit their entering the United States, have been issued by the government officials and for warded by cable to the inspectors.

The bed of the ocean has been undergoing a number of changes off the Alaska coast and it will probably be some time before cable service can be resumed to the westward of Valdez. All press ser vice in that direction has been sus- pended and attempts to repair the cable have been discontinued for the present.

AMERICA IS NOT
BAD FOR DRINK
Sobriety a National Virtue, Says
WeII-Known Temperance
Officer.

1t doesn't usually occur to Ameri-
cans that sobriety is one OF their lead
ing national virtues, but, according to
Miss Agnes Slack, honorary secretary
of the Worlds Woman's Christian Tenn
peranee Union, the United States is a
land to be envied in this respect. Miss
Slack, who came over for the White
Ribbon convention in Boston, is one of
the best known temperance workers in
the world, and, as she has studied the
temperance question in a good many
countries and kept in touch with it in
all, she ought to know what she is
talking about.
"You are far in advance of Great
Britain in many ways" she said to a
Tribune reporter yesterday. For

The granting of licenses in any particu-

troll of the people of that locality. Then,
the last government passed an iniqui-
tous law providing that a license should
not be revoked without compensation
to the holder. This wss practically

which the licenses have always been, to

present Parliament will reverse this
law, and also give us local option

THE MYRTLES WON.

A number of errors crept into the
account of the aquatic carnival held
at the Hotel Baths on Saturday night.
the most regrettable of which was in
giving the total score in favor of the
Healanis. when as a matter of fact
the Myrtles won signal victory, over
topping their rivals by total of
thirty-six points to seventeen. Charles
Douglas, who was entered by the Hea-
lanis, was described as a Myrtle in the
account of the diving contest, in which
Douglas took second place.
