Stones, too began to hum around
them. Some struck the boat, but the
greater number whizzed unpleasantly
close to the heads of the two men aud

were visible to the unseen enemy. Gray

twice. The second time shrek OF

assailants. The two reports made a
deafening din in that place Of echoes.
They appeared to stir the Indians into
a perfect frenzy, and 1t was evident
by the sounds that the islanders had
not much liberty of movement on the
narrow strips Of land they occupied on
both sides Of the gorge.
Elsie caught some significant splash

Telling Suarez to pull for all he was
worth, Gray clambered to the stern of
the boat and emptied the revolver at

the swimmers.
"Quick! Load 1t again. he said

About this time Gray began to sus-
pect that the tide was bearing them
onward at remarkable rate. They
were being impelled toward an I'M
known destination with the silence and
gathering speed Of mill race.

may have little to do with seq or riv-

theoretical knowledge as to the proper

In the course of human events some curious sights are witnessed and White horse has had her share of them within Ghe past few days.
 First there was the man who went to hotel bar and asked for Ia good five cent cigar" When told shat nothing less than 25 cent cigars were sold, he said something about being "Soapy Smithed."
 Then there was the man who went to clothing store to purchase hat tie. When told they sold two for quarter, he counted out dime and three pen nies and took one string, leaving the store thinking that he had made him. self good fellow by giving the mer- chant half a cent the best of it.
 Likewise there was the nice, modest newly married couple who walked around town two or three days with half Nelsons on each other.
 In the mighty throng which has passsi ed through within the recent past were few men in the guise of working men who were recognized as being other than they appeared. They will work just sufficiently long to got the Hay" of the land and then we may expect to hear of some tricks being turned.
 Mike Stone, the greatest egg inspeo- tor of tho day and age, was also here, Mike can gaze on sealed freight car containing eggs and tell exactly how many of it's contents will cook better scram bled than poached. Mike can scent a stale egg four miles.

Newspaper Hydrophpbia

Philadelphia newspapers recently treated their readers to narrowing narrative concerning boy who was supposed to have been bitten by dog, and in the intervals of convulsions was "snapping at his attendants and barking like dog," in the throeS of hydrophobia A number of years ago a young woman in Camden was said to be suffering from this dreaded disease, and Prof. Joseph Pancoast was request ed to see her. When be was told that she was "snapping and barking like a doR," he immediately replied "Then she has not hydrophobia," and his negative diagnosis turned out to be true, she was only suffering with fear and hysteria. The fact that no one ever saw hydrophobia patient "snab5 ping and barking" does not deter the average newspaper reporter from tn- indulging himself with his little flight of imagination, in order to make the account more graphic. In the case of the boy, pr. Wadsworth, the coroner's physician, found no evidence of rabies, but discovered that death had in real ity been caused by typhoid fever. The typhoid delirium had been mistaken for rabies.-N. Y. Medical Journal.

A movement has been started at Valdez to take vote, at the election for delegate next month, on the ques tion of territorial government for Alaska. The plan as outlined Is to provide a separate ballot box at each polling place in the district, in which all voters will be asked Go deposit a ballot for or against reasonable, modified form of territorial govern ment."

London, Oct 12.-The news TINS
morning from the storm centers in
the near east confirms the belief held
in London that the powers will hnd
a friendly solution of the crisis which
has agitated Europe for more than
week.
1t is now thought that Servia has
fallen in line with the other states
directly interested, and is taking a
more quiet view of the situation.
The resolution of the Servian par
lament adopted this morning, which
amounts practically to vote OF con-
fidence in the government, has taken
the matter OF Servia's attitude to-
ward Austria Hungary out of the
hands of that easily swayed body and
placed it with the cabinet.
The members of the cabinet are
aware of the actual condition of af-
fairs, and doubtless will heed the
warnings of the powers and take no
rash steps in the matter.
The powers. therefore, can contin-
ue their negotiations for an interna-
tional conference without fear of in
terruption or outbreak from any of
the Balkan states.
