BIG SNOW.
Ground Hog Saw What Was
Coming and Went Back
To His Hole.

The little, insignificant animal
called the grounding, which is sup
posed to beat the weather beauro
as a prognosticator, came out of
his hole last Saturday, and getting
frightened at his shadow ran back to
see six weeks more of winter. He
had hardly gotten back to his winter
quarters before the mercury began
to recede in the tube and by night
it had gotten down below the freez
ing point. Sunday was a windy,
cold and cloudy day. The sun was
shining at p. M, ,s.but it went down
behind bank of clouds. At 10
O'Clock at night the stars were shin
ing and the moon was so bright that,
with the brilliancy Of the arc lights,
the streets were almost as light as
day.
Everybody, except those afflicted
with "the rheumatic" were great
ly surprised yesterday morning on
looking out of their windows to see
the earth covered with five inches
or more of snow. The snow hegar
falling at furious rate at about
| / o'clock and the children and those
who have sleighs are having the sec
and big time of the winter. Snow
continued to fall irregularly all day
yesterday.

Funny, isn't it? How can we expect
to raise statesmen and presidents

topped boots fer boys?

They fit too like a glove, and the cop

red tops-they were the cynosure Of
all the boy eyes in our neighborhood
for weeks.
And how majestically they squeaked'
Had to oil them three dimes week,
and even then they were stiff and un-
manageable after a night of coasting.

Always to be Depended Upon

When a person gets up in the
morning with a dull headache and a
tired stretchy feeling, it is an almost
certain indication tdat the liver, or
bowels, or both, are decidedly out of
order.
At such times Nature. the wisest
and best of all doctors, takes this
means to give warning that she
needs the help and gentle assistance
which can best be obtained from
that old family remedy, Brandreth's
Pills, which has been in use for over
a century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pills your grandparents used,
when doctors were few and far be-
tween and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be
depended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated,

HOG CHOLERA
The Problem of a Cure is
Now Solved

DR.. J. H. Snoddy, of Alton, ILL.,.
has discovered positive cure and
preventative for this terrible dis
ease. He has had it in use for ten
years and has saved millions of dol
lars worth of cholera hogs for the
public. The directions for its use
are simple and easy to follow. Any
practical farmer can stop the worst
outbreak of cholera that ever came
and save every hog that is able to
take the treatment.
This treatment is not an expense
to farmer, because it clears his
herd of every character of worm
and parasite and puts them in such
a thrifty condition that the extra
gain they will make from the effect
of this treatment will return the
farmer $5 in this extra gain for
every dollars worth of the remedy
used properly and right.
1t is the greatest worm remedy
known to medical science. 1t pays
a farmer to keep his hogs clear of
worms with it. When the hog is
clear of worms and in good thrifty
condition it is rather a hard matter
to infect him with cholera without
directly exposing him to the germ.
1t pays to use the medicine wheth-
er there is any cholera around or
not.
This wonderful remedy is man.

out for her.
 According to the testimony, the Larchmont was one-eighth to a quar- ter of mile away when she changed her course.
 Previously the green, or starboard, light of the steamboat had shown over the starboard quarter of the schooner. These relative positions had been main- talned by the two vessels for twenty minutes. The schooner was headed east by north and was travelling at the rate of about seven knots. Sud denly as the Larchmont drew nearer. going at full speed, the green li"ht dis appeared, and the red, or port, light came into view, showing that the steamboat had changed her course and was trying to cross the schooner's bow. A few minutes later the crash came.

HARLEY SAYS LINER RAN THEM DOWN
Cactus Brings In Mainmast of Toun- dered Steamer and h Now Trying to Locate Wreck-Colored
 Steward Last Victim.

A~~Ss
 NEW LONDON, Conn.,, Feb. 16.-
 While Captain Mcyey of the Larch mont has yet to give an official yer sion of his story of the collision be- tween his vessel and the schooner liar. ry Knowlton on Block island, the tes timony of Captain Haley of the schoon. CT and his crew, taken before the To. cal government steamboat inspectors, seems to show that the burden of ex. planation lies with the Larchmont.
 James Vann of Fayetteville, N. O., a colored steward of the Larchmont, died last night of pneumonia at the East Side hospital, where he was taken with several other survivors of the wreck on Wednesday night. This leaves only seventeen whose lives were saved from the wreck.
 The lighthouse tender Cactus has brought in the mainmast of the steam CT Larchmont. It was broken off six ty feet below it's top, evidently by some passing steamer or large craft which Lad snapped about dozen thick wire guy ropes and an inch Iron bolt. A portion of the gaff and some of the castings of the mast were attached to 1t. The Cactus returned this morning to hunt for the sunken steamer.
 The Identification of the seventy-six bodies that have been recovered has so far progressed that only eight remain cd unclaimed at the morgue. A few days more will be allowed for identi- flcation, and then the unknown dead will be buried by the city. At the gov ernment inquiry those on the schooner claimed that they held their course straight down the sound and that the steamer tried to cut across the bow of their boat. Captain Mcvey and his quartermaster declare that the schoon. CT altered her course and luffed into their vessel. The controversy is like ly to continue for some time.
 Captain Withey and Captain Stew art, before whom the hearing was held, seemed impressed with the frankness and directness with which Captain Ha- ley and his men testified. They told the story clearly and could not be ripped up on any details. The mate and two sailors told practically the same story as the captain. All four have spent their lives at sea.
 They were all agreed that the Larch- mont changed her course and that that fact alone was responsible for the col lision. The schooner as a sailing ves- sel had the right of way, according to the laws of navigation. and 1t was the business of the steam vessel to look

AGREE ON JAPANESE
White House Conference Sat-
 isf1es Californians.
MAY BE EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS-
President Gave Assurance That Im- migration Restrictions Would Be Enacted to Keep Out Mika-
 dos PeODle.

|
 1 WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The San Francisco school controversy growing out of the segregation of the Japanese school children in that city has been settled.
 The basis of the agreement reached at the White House conference is that Mayor Schmitz and the members of the school board will immediately aft CT the passage of the immigration bill as reported by the conferees in con- gress abolish the oriental schools and again admit Japanese children into the white schools.
 The president and Secretary Root gave the San Franciscans assurance that if the bill is not passed at this session of congress an extra session will be called immediately after the adjournment on March 4.
 The Japanese and Korean Exclusion league at San Francisco, re-enforced by many civic bodies, opposes what it terms temporarizing on the part of Mayor Schmitz in the Japanese school question. Officers of the league de- mand that the mayor hold out for an exclusion law as severe upon the Jap anese as those that now apply to the Chinese.
 Although agreeing to vote on the con- ference report, the conflicting interests in the senate are in deadlock on the bill, and no one will undertake to say what the outcome may be. When MT. Tillman took the floor he said:
 Every one supposed that this immi- grafton bill was dead. But, 10 and be- hold, an exigency has arisen on the Pacific coast! Strenuous individuals are at work to accomplish certain end. The able man who presides over the state department drafts an amend ment to law passed last May by the senate and last June by the house and which has been in conference ever since. The conferees take that dis tinguished gentleman into their con- ference e-or. rather. he takes them into his confdence-and the senate Is noti- fled that this bill must go through.
 "Why? Speaking in plain terms, to keep the Japanese out of California. But there is twofold object involved in the measure. The first of these k intended to keep Japanese laborers off the Pacific coast and from getting in. to this country. and the conference in furtherance of policy which looks to sectional advantage has incorporat ed provision which changes the law in regard to contract labor, which will keep out the little dribble of immi. grants who have started to go south
