AUSTRALIA WANTS \ NATY

The movement for a native navy grows in strength in Australia. The British admiralty has now given it's general approval to the scheme Of the Australian commonwealth for the formation of a flotilla of six torpedo boat destroyers, nine submarines and two depot ships as the nucleus of an Australian navy
 The ldea -or building up local navy in Australia, says the Manito- ba Free Press. in lieu of the custom ary annual contribution to the im' perlal forces was given great i'm petus by the recent visit of the Am erlcan battleship fleet, and it is be- Heved that parliament will vote readily the s6,25O.OOO required for ths construction Of the suggested ,lotllla. The officers and men will total 200. and will be provided by the imperial navy. But they will be paid by the commonwealth, which will retain administrative control of the notilla.
 In the dispatch approving this scheme. the lords of the admiralty explain the absence of a strong na' val contingent In Australian waters and say they consider that the se' curlty Of the empire. Of which Aus traNa Is an important part, from over.sea attack can be best secured by the distribution of the imperial navy as the strategic necessities oi the moment dictate. But at the sam time they recognize that under ceF tain contingencies a local flotilla defence. They recognize also the might be of great assistance in such importance of fostering, from DO utlcal standpoint, the feeling of SC curlty In the inhabitants Of the coast towns.
 The Canadian navy. which now eI lsts in embryo. will also develop steadily and will be a factor in the defence of the empire in another decade

ABSENT MINDED HUBBY

A minister's wife, a doctors wife and a travelling mans wife met one day recently and were talking about the forgetfulness of their husbands.
 The minister's wife thought her husband was the most torgetful man living because he would go to church and forget his notes and no one could make out what he was trying to preach about.
 The doctors wife thought her hus' band was the most forgetful, for he would often start out to see a pa tient and forget his medicine case and, therefore. travel miles for noth. ing.
 Well" said the travelling mans wife. my husband beats that. He came home the other day and pattcd me on the cheek and said, T be- lleye I have seen you before, little girl. What is your name?'

HIT II LIN THE
 TAKU RIVER

Peter schramen left Seattle for the Klondike in 1897, but was unable to get through and wintered at Juneau, During the winter he made a mum. Der of prospecting trips up the Taku river on the Canadian side of the line. He struck copper and gold quartz in several places, and so good did it look that he made several locations, doing the assessment in q small way in the summer time and working for wages in the winter, He tried to interest capital. but he was unable. and he went to Dawson. A few years ago he removed to Fair banks and then started a trading post at Shaw river on the Panama. In the meantime he had always kept up as. sessment work on the claims on the Taku. This summer he received word from the men in his employ that they had struck the richest kind of ore and for him to dispose of everything and come out. Mir. Schramen, when seen at the Butler yesterday. said that he had cleared up about $2O,OOO on his trading and mining enterprises in the Panama. After all his years of labor and faith in the Taku quartz he was at last rewarded P.I.

Standing on the Douglas wharf the spot where Victor spsuldinG and bis associates made a splendid discovery Oi gold-besriug quartz Is plainly visible with the naked eye. There Is nothing remarkable seout this except that it Illustrates how little of thIs country has been really prospected. And the men who make prospecting X business are very few. Douglas Island has, maybe, ten or dozen, and Juneau possibly as many more. As compared with the vast extent of cou ltry yet unexplored, they are but a handful. one of the pres. needs of this section is men who will take their pick and shovel and 20 out into the hills seeking for the treasures that lie buried lhere.-DOng- Jas News.

Thst Maryland snd Missouri! ghOuld

That Maryland and Missouri should line up with the republican candidate is most cheering, as looking to the time when the solid south will cease to vote like a machine. Mir, Taft went over to Kentucky and made a run through other Of the southern states-the first time since the war that q presidential candidate had the time or inclination to Invade the south during campaign. He may have had hopes of Kentucky but it is rather likely that the rest of it was done on a sentimental basis purely-that the south. as he said should be treated in a presidential campaign as if It was a part of the United States.

" From the age fifteen years old,

him to Q doctor and tried half dozen other treatments, all with the same result: no improvement at all. The disease gradually spread until nearly every part of his body was quite raw. We had to strap him down in bed, for he used to tear himself dreadfully in his sleep. The agony he went through is quite beyond words. No one thought we would rear him. The regimental doctor, very clever man, pronounced the case hopeless; at least, he said the only hope was that he might, if he lived long enough. Outgrow it to some extent. We had him in hospitals four times and he was pronounced one of the worst cases, if not the worst, ever admitted. From each he was dis charged as incurable; in fact he got worse under the successive treatments. At one hospital they incased him in plaster, and this seemed to Rggrayate the soreness terribly. He looked SO badly that no one liked to go near him and his life was a burden to him. We kept trying remedy after remedy, but we had got almost past hoping for a cure. Six months ago we purchased Q set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent Pills and persevered with them. The result was truly marvellous and to-day he is perfectly cured, his skin not having Q blemish on 1t anywhere. Mrs. Lily Hedge, 5l, Vaughan Road, Coldharbour Lane, Camblewell Green, Eng.

 Was Entered Into

Hearst News Special to the Graphic.
 Omaha, Neb., Sept S.-At the in- quest over the death of Dr. Frederick Rustin Mrs. Rice told on the stand how the doctor, herself and Charles Davis planned a suicide pact. She was to have shot the doctor and then commit suicide but her nerve failed after two trials, a week before the doctors death. She said Davis went to the home of Rustin to kill him and then to take poison.
 Davis later was put on the stand and denied any connection with the shooting, but says he took poison, but not enough to produce death.
 Surgeons who performed the au- topsy testified that the bullet which killed Rustin came from a pistol held further away than any man suiciding The inquest will be continued tomor- TOW.
