TOWN SWEPT UNDER
SLIDE HITS QUEBEC VILLAGE
WITH FATAL RESULTS.
Thirty of the Population of Notre
Dame de Salette Known to Have
Perished - Those Who Escaped
Were Found Panic Stricken and
Preparing to Leave.

Buckingham, Quebec, April 28.-l
Half the little French hamlet of Notre
Dame de Salette, 16 miles from here
on the Lievre river, disappeared Sun
day under sliding mountain and at
least 80 of it's small population are
known to have persisted.
The river Lievre winds at the foot
Of the hamlet and a mountain towers
behind it. Heavy rains for days have
been melting snow and ice on the
mountainside and streams have been
coursing down to the river At
Sunday morning, just as the little
hamlet began to stir for early mass,
part of the mountain started to slide
toward the river. 1t tore a path of
death and destruction in it's way and
those who were not killed when their
homes were engulfed were left buried
under the mass of rock and earth
Camille Lapoint's house stood first in
the path of the avalanche. He and
his family of II are known to have
persisted. Eight others, whose names
have not been obtained, are missing
and the rescuerS are attempting to find
definitely how many more are missing.
Mrs. Desjardines cottage also was
swept away and she and her two chill
dren, a domestic and hired man are
known to be buried in the landslide
With a Roar, Ii BUSHES Down.
De Salette, like many hamlets of its
kind, rambles into the gardens and
little fields on the mountain side, sc
about half of it was not in the path
of the slide. The sliding mass rushed
with a roar and spread over part OF
the place and dumped itself in the
swollen stream at its foot. Cut of
from the outside world, messengers
were dispatched to Houpere, the near
est hamlet Those who arrived frs
estimated that at least dozen houses
were crushed in the path of the land
slide Buckingham was appealed to
but the flight of the messengers across
the spring roads was slow. Those frs
on the scene found De Salette in
panic with the uninjured ones packing
their belonging for flight

AND NO CIGARS

PHYSICAL STRAIN OF
CAMPAIGN.

Mayor Thompson. although defeated
for reelection, Is free now, to enjoy
some pleasures which were forbidden
to him during the long, hard campaign
Just past. The growth Of the city and
the necessity OF personally meeting
thousands of voters ut hundreds OF

a candidate to train for his campaign
as for ansathlete to get In condition
for his contests.
Since the campaign opened, Mayor
Thompson has had to 80 without
smoking. He was not IN the most
robust health at the beginning and 90
safeguarded his strength by every wise
precaution.
Neither did he touch intoxicating
liquors during the last three weeks OF
the night. He had one glass of beer
and that was all. Even In diet, the
mayor had to be careful lest he do
something that might interfere with
his condition.
Although he had to be out late at
night. speaking at a dozen meetings
or SO, he slept until late In the morn
ing and then went to the Burns hotel
for a nap each afternoon.
Election Is now over and William
b. Thompson may enjoy the pleasures
that any other citizen has.

COMMENTS ON CATARRH,


The only logical treatment for the
malady is through the blood. A pre-
scription. which has recently proved
SO wonderfully effective In hospital
work, follows. II Is an exceedingly
simple mixture, but one that will bring
quick results and put the system In a
normal condition:
"One ounce compound Syrup Of sar-
saparilla; one ounce Toris Compound;
half pint first-class whiskey." These to
be mixed by shaking well In a bottle.
and used In tablespoon doses before
each meal and at bedtime.
The ingredients can be gotten from
any well stocked drug store, and eas-
lily mixed at home. A bottle of this
mixture should be In every family
medicine chest on account OF the man
fold Ills that II will cure. as well as
being q most perfect ionic and sys
