that good shoes were worn and baths

that at the Stanley camp a crowd
had thrOnged around him and told of
little negro whom they claimed was
doy in ell
manner. They seemed much in
terested in his case. The records
showed only two whippings.
Wardens and Extras"
One of the wardens told us that
the state ought to pay the guards
more" said Mr. Moore. eve asked
them about themselves, and he re
piled; oh, we can get ours all
right, but the guards can't"

Amuses Chattanooga.

From the Chattanooga Times.
The Georgia legislature will come
to Chattanooga as soon as the West
ern and Atlantic railroad can get per-
mission to haul them gratis. Funny,
isn't it, when legislators have to ask
federal authority to ride on a rail
road pass?

To BE Pitied.

From the Savannah Press.
Atlanta, with the legislature on

CURE IN KISS OF NEGROES.

4 Fool Superstition Among Some
White People of Philadelphia.
Some of the negroes in and about
Reading, Pa, are coming money be-
cause of a fool superstition that in
telligent doctors seem unable to
break up. There is belief among
great many of the white people
that the kiss of a negro will cure a
child of whooping cough or will act
as a sure preventive of the disease.
There is an epidemic of the cough in
the vicinity, and a dozen negroes are
kept busy kissing white children for
fifty-cent fees. Thirty "cures" in a
week have been affirmed, as a result
of the negro kissings.

WORST OVER IN AWFUL FIRE
FLAMES NOW RAGE I'M sPARsELY
SETTLED COUNTRY.
Fifty Lives and Property Worth
100000 Probably Destroyed, Ac.
cordins to Various Estimates.

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. 6.-The ter
ribly destructive forest fires which
have swept through the Crows Nest
district Of the Elk river valley In
British Columbia since last Saturday,
devastating vast stretch of territory,
destroying many lives and millions Of
dollars of property, wiping out entire
towns and rendering thousands of per-
sons homeless, are still raging, but
are now sweeping a Wild and sparsely
settled country, and it is believed the
worst is over.
Stories Of missing settlers are
coming from Fernie, Cranbrook,
Michel, Hosmer and other places, but
many Of these have turned up at some
point far from their original habita-
ton and it is not believed the death
list will exceed so.
The property loss has been very
great, but this, too; is difficult to est.
valuation would probably place the
amount at $6.OOo,00O and $1,000, 900.
Several thousand persons have been
rendered homeless, principally resi-
dents of Fernie, which, according to
all accounts, is almost completely
, wiped out, scarcely more than a score
of buildings being left where once a
prosperous town Off 5000 inhabitants
stood.
There has been suffering among
the homeless owing to lack of food
and shelter, but this has been partly
relieved by the prompt action of the
people of every city in British Column
bfa as well as many of those on border
states, in sending both money and sup
plies to the burned districts.
Winnipeg. Man. Aug. GA special
from Michel says hat the wind which
had been blowing from the west driv-
ing the fire before it onto the town
and threatening it with destruction
died away Wednesday and the town
was again saved for time. Over
100000 feet of mine timber owned by
the coal company burned on the cars
and the fire spread rapidly throughout
the railroad yards. All OF the fats
back OF the Great Northern station
started to burn when the wind stopped
blowing. The fires were smoldering.
For three days the people of Michel
have fought for their homes with
death at the door. Tuesday afternoon
they were beaten at the game. The
city, the second in size of the dev.
astated district Of East Kootenai,
started to burn in real earnest at
dusk

Many Fatalities.

babies under one year of age yester-
day and caused, directly or Indirect
~ the deaths of nine adults and q
score of prostrations. A maximum
temperature of SO degrees lasted
from until 8 pm, and undoubtedly
would have done much more damage
but for lake breezes and lack of hu.
Nudity.
Among all the infants Of the tene-
ment districts the continued stress of
the heat is working great havoc.
During the month of July 665 babies
have died in the city.
DR.. st. Clair Drake Of the health
department said that at least 600 of
them would be alive and we'll now if
their mothers had understood the
care of them.
"Our inspectors are oanvassing
those districts daily" he said, "bvo
we have been absolutely unable t.
check the appalling death rate. am
convinced that the mortality rate
among infants here during August
will exceed any the city has ever
known unless there is a very great
change in the weather."
List Of Fatalities.
Following is the list of the adult
fatalities:
GUOKA, CHARLES, forty-five
years old, who had been suffering
from heart trouble. The heat brought

millions May Be Lost by Wage
Farmers.

Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 6.-The big
gest labor dispute which the industrial
history of Canada has known cul-
minated Wednesday in the form of
general strike when employees of me-
chanical departments of the Canadian
Pacific railroad from the Atlantic
coast to the Pacific coast, some 5000
in number, laid down their tools and
quit work because the decision of the
Cancellation board which was ap.
pointed under the Lemieux act of the
Canadian parliament was not in ac-
cord with what they wanted. Not
merely in the number of men involved
is the magnitude of the walkout indi-
Gated, but in the fact that 1t involves
greater financial interests and covers
more territory than any strike which
has heretofore been recorded in rail-
way circles.
Strikers Number 5000.
The local end of the event is rep.
resented by the cessation from work
of some 1000 men who were EN-.
ployed in the Winnipeg shops. Nearly
half of the men involved are on west
ern sections of the road, the exact
number being 5000. The total number
of men on the western lines is $500.
The total number on the eastern lines
is $500. The total number on the
Canadian Pacific railroad system is
5000. Following is the proportion in
which the $500 men on western lines
are distributed: Winnipeg, 1000;
Brandon, go; Broadview, 90; Moose
Jaw, 300; Swift Current, 90; Medicine
Hat, $50; Calgary, 300; Mcleod, so;
Lethbridge, go; Cranbrook, Is; Nelson,
25; Eholt, So; Smelter Junction, Is;
Trail. Is; Rossland, Is; Midway, 20;
Greenwood, 25; Revelstoke, SO; Kan.

minister Junction, 20; Vancouver, 225;
Fort William, ESQ; 1gnace, 100; Ke-
nora, 100. Total, $500.
May Cost Million Dollars.
Approximate figures show that the
average weekly pay roll of the me.
chanical department Of the Canadian
Pacific is close to $250,O00. Thus II
the strike lasts month it will take
a cool million dollars out of the pock-
cts of the 5000 men. The average
daily pay of each man is something
under four dollars. Rumors are cur
rent in some circles that members Of
the operating departments would also
go out in sympathy, but this is thought
to be hardly probable. So far only
the mechanical departments are af-
fected, while the operating section,
which includes the engineers, conduc-
tors, telegraphers, maintenance-of-way
men and firemen, is not involved. 1t
is understood in some quarters, how.
ever, that the trainmen will walk out
in sympathy on Saturday. Questioned
upon this fact the trainmen representa-
tives said Wednesday that the matter
Of striking had never been given con-
sideration and unless things took a
much greater development than they
did at present they would not in any
active manner be affected.
