Edwards vainly tried the old plan

PUAfMELED RADICAL DIVINE.
Evangelist Miller Taken to Task for
CritIcising Women of Utica, Neb.

NTltitBShS bOibACh OI ChStay ANND'
Rev. Frank A. Miller, a well known
evangelist, who spent a part OF 1905
in Walla Walla, was assaulted by a
mob of men in Utica, Neb., Monday,
for eriticising the women OF a church
society. Reports state that his con-
dition is serious, The assault occur
red while Mr.. Miller was on his way
to a railway station. The women who
were criticised by the evangelist in
cited the men to attack and cheered
them as they assaulted the preacher.
The minister assaulted IS well
known in Washington and oregon,
having spent the year 1905 in these
states. He spent a month in Walla
Walla at the First Congregational
church, says the Statesman.
During his sojourn in Walla Walla
Mr.. Miller expressed strong views on
several questions and was particular
ly bitter In denunciation of amnse-
ments and card playing and dancing.
1t is supposed by local friends that his
denuEciatlon Of some form of enter

the women Of Utica as a criticism of
their actions.

Phenomenal City OF the Nevada Min
ing District.
A correspondent writing to the Ore
gon Daily Journal of Rawhlde, Ne
vada, says of that place:
Rawhide, Nevade, Is the latest
town to show a most phenomenal
growth. Five months ago It was a
place Of % men. Today 1t is city
Of 5000 population, which is some
percentage in gain. Every day there
Is an increase in population of from
100 to 200, all seeking the fortune
that the gold mines offer.
All OF the inhabitants will not get
rich, only few will secure the wealth
but the people will suffer all kinds Of
trials and privations to get chance
to pick up the golden nuggets. Meals
are not so expensive, rs cents. but
for a place to sleep $1.75 is asked.
The new town has grown more
rapidly than even the wonderful
Goldfield or Tonopah, which are
gradually becoming depopulated. the
people going to Rawhide, where the
RAINBOW SHINES more Drlgnuy.
Every day long caravans of wagons
in train Of three, one wagon hitched
back of another, and drawn by Is
horses. wind their way across the
alkaline waste into the one long tent
lined street of the mining camp. The
drivers Of these trains sit on the nigh
horse of the team next to the first
wagon and guide the whole Is horses
with single long rein.
One of the many striking features
of the gold camp, that shows the ag'
gressiveness and quickness of the Am
erican is the automobile stage lines
that are run from Reno, Fallon and
Schurz to Rawhide. From Reno the
distance Is something over 100 milei
and from Fallon, about SO.

This service will make one night
between Puget sound and San Fran
cisco and will be maintained through
out the summer, at any rate, and pos
sibly next winter as well, although
the winter season is not favorable to
fast running through this state.
The train that will be put In serv-
ice will leave Portland about 5 p. m.
daily. arriving In San Francisco early
the next night. 1t will consist of mail
and baggage cars, a day coach, diner

there is said to be no reason why the

The fast train to the south will be
strictly limited in every way. No

A FIENDISH ATTACK 2

The New Yolk police headquarters 10
puzzled over the declaration Of Mrs.
Sarah Sample, an aged and well-to-do
widow, Of the 6endish attack of two
women and q man who she says on Sat-
urday overpowered her In her home,
gagged her, and stripping her, smeared
her whole body with csrbolic acid. Mrs.
Sample yesterday told the story OF q
blackmail plot which, she declares, has
to do with the assault. Mrs. Sample
says she let the upper floors OF her
house to two families and later one OF
the men found her In an embarr Assing
situation with her other tenant, and to
save her good name she "gsve up" tirst
$40, then $500 and sgain $500. Tired
of being blackmsiled, she told her story
to Lawyer Owen Finnerty, who pro-
cured a summons against the man sc-
cused, but owing to the peculiarities ol
Mrs. Samples sIory, the police hesitate
to make an arrest Mrs. Samples ex.
perience With the acid bath occurred
Saturday. When, In answer to her
screams, policeman broke in the door
of her fat, he found her stripped, with
a paper Of red peper In her mouth and
q bottle with mixture of red pepper,
water and csrboic acid along side her.
The woman was not severely injured and
as the neighbors below declare they
heard no sound of struggle and saw no

BALLOON BURSTS A MILE HIGH.

Captain Won Abercrou and Lieutenant
Won Coltzbeim, two well-kuown aero
uauts, hsd q miraculous escape from
death yesterday afternoon during the
course OF an ascent In a spherical bsi-
loon ut Dusseldorf, Rhenish Prussis,
Germany. Thousands Of spectators had
gathered to witness the ascent, aud they
we're horror stricken ct the accident,
which occurred high in the air.
On being released from its fastenines
the balloon scared almost directly up
ward to an altitude Of 5000 feet, when
the envelope suddenly ripped open. The
gss escaped in streams and the ballC on
shot downward. The seronsuts swiftly
cIambered into the network in the des-
perste hope of avoiding the shock OF con-
tact with the ground.
After fall of 1000 feet, however,
the envelope spread out, seemingly In q
purely accidental manner, forming q sort
Of parachute, which checked the descent.
The balloon then gradually came down,
taking an hour and half to reach the
earth, the two men clinging to the ropes
and the basket. They suffered no injury
except few scratches.
The cause of the accident was the sud-
den expansion Of the gas.

HAVOC OF A HURRICANE.

Oaly irsgmentsry repor-s have ye'
reached the sest..of government at Mas
s,u. Bahamas, as to the damage done to
the outlying ISLANDS Of the dependency
which we're ravsged by hurricane from
the 11th to the 14th inst, but such news
az has srrIved is sufficiently bad. The
storm appears to have originated near
Turks Island, aud swept With .ever-in-
creasing fury up the long string OF ISL
auds running southeast from there, Ina
qua, AckIins, Crooked, Ragged, Long,
Fortune, Watlings, Rum Gay, Exums
and the south part of Andree Islands all
appear to have suffered. On Long lsl-
aud the gale blew for two days, and the
settlements are practically obliterated
from end to end, the principal place,
Clarence Town, having only five houses
lett standing. The inhabitants wtrt
forced to find shelter in caves, and food
and wster are almost unprocursble.
There is no doubt that the less of life
is heavy. The whole countryside, even
so far as Cat Island, is scslded and
burnt IS If with FIRE from the terrible
driving OF the salt water across the land.
The government has taken relief meas
ures, and schooners are being daily dis
patched lsdeE with foodstufs, lumber
and nails. The recent gale is said to
have exceeded in fury the hurricane OF
1866, which has always been the siaod-
ard of comparison.
