WE CREPT ALONGSIDE THE BURNING ST. CUTHBERT"

"We crept alongside the warowinC St. Cuthbert in the midst of sizzling sea.
 Pending the boat with oars, we kept clear of the St Cuthbert's sides while they lowered Captain Lewis down to us.
 "JOubert was placed beside the cap- tain. The llreboat was shipping wa ter, and they were quickly drenched. Luckily 1t was not severely cold, only degrees below freezing. Others of the St. Cuthhert'a company came down lines or jumped overheard to be hauled into the boat till We had seventeen, very heavy load for so small a craft. It was a long row back to the CymrIc, as every sea threatened to swamp the boat. Under the lee of the Cymrlc we finally crept and managed to catch the davit falls.
 Again we started with the same crew and got alongside the vessel, which seemed to be sinking more deep ly every instant The struggle was a repetition of the first trip. but if any thing made in slower time because my men were getting a bit Jagged. This time we took of eighteen men, and 1t made my heart ache to watch the poor men on that Steaming deck, their feet blistering or burned so they couldn't stand still an instant, begging us to hurry.
 "'YOun come back for us, won't you, old man| sang out Chief Hobbs of the St. Cuthbert when we were ready to go.
 "T'u be back just as soon as can get here | replied.
 "'You know she's three-quarters full of water and is liable to drop out from under us any minuten shouted poor Hobbs as we drew away, He and the other five Of the castaways, and they have hearts of oak, crept away to the coolest place on that cracking deck and waited.
 ITO maSe the story short, we finally got alongside the Cymric, having burn- ed a flare so Captain Finch could ds- certain our position He wosSed nS | ship near to and finally got the men aboard I asked the already woruout crew if they wanted 10 go back for the third time. Every one replied that he would stand by the St. Cuthbert to the very end.

 Tu their horror they found that the fire hose had been burned and there was no way to stop the fire In a body they dashed for the liteboats.

 The fire had spread with incredible rapldity. aud now the entire forward section of the ship was a mass of flames. The hatches of No. 1, 2 and 9 holds had been blown on. and the car go below was blazing like a furnace. There were deSpairing cries from be- yOud the flames. and the crew saw a dozen men standing upon the forecaS- tie peak almost surrounded by fire. Then one by one these dropped over he side.
 The others thought they had been driven over into the sea, but that was not SO. Six or eight feet below the deck the huge anchors were held in place. and upon their aukes the men had found refuge.
 The sea was now so rough that no boat could live In lt. and at this time the steamer CymrlC was sighted.

WORK WEAEEHS THE KIDNEYS

Most Alaska people work every day in some strained, unnatural position bending constantly over a desk riding on jolting wagons or cars doing labor ious housework; lifting, reaching or pulling, or trying the back in a hundred and enc different ways. All these strains tend 10 wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until they fall behind in [ cir work of Altering the pOi,ons from l the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new strength inaOad backs
 w. H. Wood of 25O cottage St., Sa- lem. Ore., says: IA good mauy years ago I got badly kicked by mule right over the kidneys and at another time while digging a well it caved in on me also injuring my back. Since then have had more or less annoyance from my kidneys Change Of weather caused my back to ache and when 1 worked hard it became SO lame that I could hardly straiP hten up after stooping, procured Doan's Kidney Pills at a drug store and since taking them, although have continued to work hard and be exposed to severe weathe,, not an ache or other symptoms of my former trouble remains. This clearly proves that Deans Kidney Pills act up to representations made of them. I also know of other people who have derived grea5 benefit from their use.

BANKS IN GOOD
CONDITION
STATEMENTS SHOW NO ILL EF-
FEcTs FROM RECENT
MONEY PANIC.
PLENTY OF CASH ON HAND
While The Deposits, surplus And
Loans Are Very
Healthy.

The statements OF the Phoenix Ma
tional Bank and the Maury National
Bank in today's Herald viii give fur
Their evidence that the financial strin-
gency is a thing of the past and that
the money situation In both town and
county has assumed normal proper
tons. AS Maury is one OF the best
counties in the state it follows that
the banks Of the county should be we'll
managed and fiourishing, and the man
ner in which they weathered the storm
Of the last few months Is proof posi-
tive that they are up to the mark
and are credit to the people.
In the statement today the Maury
National Bank shows deposits exceed
ing 100000, surplus of nearly $780,
900, loans of over s23O,OOO and money
on hand to meet every demand, In the
way of the financial development Of
town and county. 1t win be noted
that the outstanding obligations OF the
bank, that is money due other banks
and rediscounta, IL small.
The showing made by the Phoenix
National Bank should be most salts
factory to both depositor and stock
holder. The bank is growing and
shows no III results from the financial
uneasiness OF last fall. With nice
deposit, surplus of $4,000 and loans
that give sure evidence the oflcials Of
the bank are inclined to be as liberal
as safe banking allows, in order to pro-
mote the business Of the community.
At the same time the cash account is
amply large enough for the times.

Reasons.
To the Editor d The Herald:

TO the Editor Of The Herald:
| AS your postmaster and the servant
of the public. feel 1t my duty to
make statement in regard to the
charges preferred against me. There
are four reasons why these charges
were made. Viz;
First Col. A. M. Hughes was re-

p. Z. Gregary Of this county for dele
gate to the National Republican Con

kins. the man who preferred these
charges.
! wish further to say that the SEQ
rotary Of the Civil Service Commits
sion Of the Fifth District, Mr.. Geo.
Donnall, has been asked to return

ment through fear of loosing his posi-
ton to take part in whatever political
fight he may be engaged In.
Later on viii cover this ground
more fully, but for the present beg
to remain your obedient servant.

DEMOCRACY OF
MAURY Is MAD
STATE COMMITTEES PLAN is
RoUNDLY DENOUNCED BY
THE PEOPLE HERE.

No party committee in the history
of Tennessee ever so outraged the
sentiments of vast majority OF the
majority Of the Democrats Of Maury
county as did the state committee
when it turned deaf ear to the APP
peals of the people and ordered a
bogus primary. All day Friday the
people here. some of them former
supporters OF Gov. Patterson, have
gathered in groups and informal con-
ferences and denounced the plan.
Greatest indignation has been aroused
over that part Of the plan which vests
the appointments Of all the election
officers Of the state in the hands OF
the State Committee, and takes it
from the local authorities. The mem
bers Of the county committee who
have been seen today are boiling mad.
They regard this as a slap at them.
They declare that never in its pianist
days did the Brownlow Committee
ever attempt anything so fragrant or
outrageous. But the appointment Of
the officers of election will make no
difference here. No less than 100 of
the best citizens Of the county have
today taken solemn oath that no
machine shall rob them Of their rights
and this county will repudiate the ma
chine by an immense majority.
