William Mitchell. after riding since
Wednesday. arrived yesterday from
his ranch, 60 miles south Of here and
reported the second fatality as re.
suit of the recent storm. Donald Cam.
eron, sheep herder. with two others,
were caught in the storm. They were
forced to leave their sheep to perish
and seek safety for themselves. Cam.
eron. however. became exhausted and
died. After being 60 hours without
sleep or nourishment, the other two
men reached ranch in safety.
It is feared that many other herders
have perisned. Three thousand sheep
were driven by the storm into Many
Islands lake and only 800 were saved.

Nothing could possibly exceed in the
public mind in Japan the significance

Of the prettiest features of the week.

The Japanese naval men are loud In
their praise OF the behavior Of the

appreciative Of Rear Admiral Sperry's

HOLY GHOSTERS STRANDED
IN BUENOS AYRES

PHILADELPHIA Nov. 1s.-Making

sionary work long since banished from

women, members OF the Holy Ghost

Only one OF the little band. Mabel

has succeeded in reaching home. and
only after great sacrifices on the part
OF her parents.
The band started its missionary work
in New York, where the leader
Brother Anderson. and his follow

had in this city. The police swooped
down on them and arrested all the
members of the party.

traying the usual story Of love and
villiany, and introducing numerous

telligence, gives an exhibition of pos
ing that is simply marvellous. Johnny

grimages to this city have. been many
since Manager Dockstader came here
sixteen years ago. returns again with
the Quaker City Quartette, a company
Of singers decidedly above the aver

excellent harmony of the vocal num-
bers. There are several other features
that contribute to very good enter
tainment this week. Manager Dock

ments. Mr.. Koerner is no "slouch"
when it comes to covering ground.
This is attested by the fact that he
managed to kill two rabbits and thirty
three quail on his hunting excursion.
A new form of disease is reported

been asked to give some estimate Of the
number OF cars that will be available
before December /.
Last year all the express cars were
taken Off the regular trains running
East and West over the Pennsylvania
Railroad and were made up into solid
express trains. This was done so that
the express trains could be stopped
at any point along the line without in
terfering with the movement Of the
passenger trains. 1t is probable that
the same method will be employed this
year.
The holiday rush will begin in about
three weeks and it is expected that il
will equal that of last year. 1t is fur
ther estimated. however. that the in
coming business in Wilmington will ex-
ceed that of last year, owing to the
fact that merchants last year did not
give out heavy orders on account Of the
general decrease in business.
