THREATEN TO BREAK CAMP
Many knights Of PythIas at Boston
Victims Of Robbers.

VICTIMS OF hOpperS.
Boston, Aug. 5.-Boston may lele
the tWenty-dfth national convention a
the Knights Of Pythias unless better
police protection is given the camp.
Major General Arthur ]. Rtobhest
Of Indiana threatened to break camp
at once unless the series of rohtAetes
were stepped. The commander him
self lost $3.50, which he had 10 his
tent, and he was but one of tho many
who have complained Of losses since
arriving at the camp.
stobbart said it had been ono con
tinuous series of complaints Of losses
ct pockstbooks, watches, SUIT cases
and about everything the thieves
could lay their hands on. He said his
men had turned over to tho poAce
four thieves, one of whom, he under
stood, was a hardened criminal. Re-
garding his demand for more proteo
ti0n he said:
II am going to call on tho mayer
as executive head of this city and de.
mand detectives and police for this
camp. If cannot have it will break
camp at once. Heretofore, wherever
we have been, we always have had a
squad of plain clothes men in the
camp and regular patrolmen on the
outskirts of the camp to look out for
pickpockets and thieves. We should
have the same protection here"
Evidently Major General Stobbart
carried out his intention at once, for
soon after this there was stir in the
police department and there is NO
doubt but the camp will have tho pc.
lice protection it requires the rest Of
the week.

SEA OF FIRE STILL RAGING
Mountain Sides for Miles a Tornado
; Of Flames.

Fernie, B. c., Aug. 5.-No person
who has not seen can imagine the
awful devastation which in the short
space of two hours transformed what
was busy center of industry into a
desolate waste and left 5000 people
homeless. The scene during the prog
ress Of the fire is described as ap
palling, men, women and children
fleeing for their lives, leaving every.
thing they possessed to the mercy OF
the flames. Around Michel, where the
fire scene begins on the east, and for
many miles west is yet a sea of fire,
with miles and miles of blazing noun.
tain sides.
Michel is yet safe, but the whole
valley of the river is on fire and if
the wind starts up the town is
doomed. All the women and children
have been sent to Blairmore, Frank
and Coleman for safety All mines
are shut down and the men are fight
ing tho fires in relays, blowing, back
firing, clearing underbrush or soak
ing the roofs of houses with water, of
which, fortunately, there is good
supply.
Only about a dozen houses have
been burned in Hosmer so far, but the
fire is all around it.
Many from Fernie have taken ref
uge in the coke ovens being built by
the Canadian Pacific, where they are
safe even if the town does burn. They
are being cared for and fed as we'll
as conditions permit. At Fernie, how
ever, the greatest scene Of desolation
exists. BY actual count only twenty
five houses are left standing. Not a
business house remains except the
Western Canada conlpany's wholesale
warehouse and the Office of the Crows
Nest Pass Coal company, which stood
In the center of a square and in which
q number Of people took refuge from
the death that ragged around them.
The whole city Of Fernie, West Fer
ME, the Annex, the old French town
and all the lumber mills in and
around Fernie are wiped out with the
exception of the buildings named.

IMMENSE DAMAGE

Careless Traveller Starts For

Aberdeen, Wash, Aug. "a care
less traveller who threw a lighted
match into the underbrush started a
forest fire twelve miles from Hoquiam

900 feet of cut timber, and now threat

the Poison Logging company, Shaw

saving any of it unless the wind,

WOMEN'S WOES.
Bemidji Women Are Finding Relief al
Last.

It does seem that women have
more than fair share of the aches
and pains that afaict humanity; they
must keep up," must attend to
duties in spite of constantly aching
backs, or headaches, dizzy spells,
bearing-down pains; they must
stoop over, when to stoop means
torture. They must walk and bend
and work with racking pains and
many aches from kidney ills.
Kidneys cause more suffering than
any other organ of the body. Keep
the kidneys we'll and health is easily
maintained. Read of remedy for
kidneys only that helps ssand cures
the kidneys and is endorsed by
people you know.
Mrs. J. c.. I,itres, living at. 6O2|
American avenue, Bemidji, Mimi,
says: I am recommending Doan's
Kidney Pills in the hopes that
some suffering from kidney trouble
may derive benefit from my testi-
monial. For sometime I was feel
ing quite miserable, suffering from
kidney complaint. I noticed that
my kidneys were disordered and at
last decided to try Doan's Kidney
Pills. I have not used them regu-
larly as directed, but nevertheless I
have derived great deal of benefit
from their use. I feel much better
and stronger, that tired, languid
feeling having become a thing of
the past"

CHlCAG0'S HOTTEST DAY.
Eighty Babies Under One Year of
Age Succumb.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Chicago's hottest
day in several years killed eighty
babies under one year of age and
caused, directly or Indirectly, the
deaths of nine adults and score or
more of prostrations.
The. maximum temperature Of SO
degrees lasted from until p. m.
Among the infants of the tenement
districts the continued stress of the
heat is working great havoc. During
the month of July 665 Chicago babies
died. :.
DR.. st. Clair Drake of the health
department said that at least 600 of
them would be alive and we'll now if
their mothers had understood the care
of them.

THEY'RE sTILL LYING.

With their usual brazen effrontery
the Republican enwspapers are filled
every day with groundless charges of
shortcomings on the part Of the Demo
cratic state administration. Just as
they tried to defeat statehood BY de.
ceiying the people and telling them
the proposed constitution was the
most rotten and iniauitous document
ever conceived in the mind of man,
SO now they are trying to turn honest
citizens away from the Democratic
party by making false and reckless
charges of graft and extravaganza
against the various state officers.
They lied last fall about the consu-
tuition, and they are lying now about
the acts Of the First state legislature.
They declared last fall that the
constitution was SO bad that, if it were
adopted, the only way we could live
under It would be to amend its many
Objectionable features at once. After
all this clamor about the vicious and
silly provisions in the constitution
the score or more of Republican mem
hers in the First legislature sat
through a session of 100 days without
one Of them proposing a single amend
ment to our organic law This couldn't
be charged to forgetfulness. because
Chairman j. B Thompson, Of the Dem
ocrauc state committee gave out en-
interview three weeks before the legis-
lature adjourned calling attention to
the campaign charges Of tLa Repub-
lican party and challenging the repre-
'sentatives Of that party in the legisla-
ture to point out a single Objectionable
clause in the constitution and offer an
amendment to remedy the same.
Next fall this time every citizen
Of Oklahoma win know that the Vi
eious charges now made against the
Democratic state administration are
as false and damnahle as we now
know the assaults on the constitution
were. BY that time, however, the
