VILLAGE SWEPT AWAY,
Landslide Carries Canadian Town Into
River-Thirty Inhabitants Be
Iieved to Be Dead.

BUCKINGHAM, Quebec, April 81
The little French village of Notre Dame
de Salette was yesterday nearly swept
off the map and thrown into the rapids
of the Lievrc river. About thirty peo-
pie, most OF whom were on their way
to mass. are believed to have been killed
The catastrophe which nearly de-
stroyed the town was caused by a land
slide of rocks and mud, Ioosened by re-
cent rains. An immense pile of the
mud became loose and started down the
mountain side. 1t had gained such mo-
mentum when it struck the village that
the cottages of the town did not offer
the slightest resistance.
The horror of the landslide was fur
ther augmented by the fact that the
landslide blocked up the channel of the
river. which Immediately resulted in a
rise of the water, and now the village is
threatened with a flood. An appeal was
at once sent for aid and help arrived
last night from some of the neighboring
towns.
The village was right in the center of
the White pine district. Five years ago
an accident very much similar to this
one took place and ruined a town near

VIPER'S POISON A CURE.
Venom from Lancehead-To Be
Used on Insane

NEW YORK, April 27.-Dr. E. W.
Runyon of this city, yesterday directed
the operation for the extraction of We
nom from a deadly lancehead viper
said to be the most poisonous of all
vipers. The operation was performed III
the Bronx geological gardens.
Enough poison was secured-about a
third of a spoonful-to last the world
for about fifty years. The poison is
virulent, and therefore stands consider
able diluting. 1t is said to be almost
invaluable for treatment of extreme
cases of insanity.
The operation is perhaps one of the
most remarkable one ever performed.
Only one similar operation has been
made. and that was eighty years ago.
The lancehead was only secured after
years of toll and was brought from the
head of the Amazon river, South Amer
lea. Yesterday, the snake was grasped
by Mr.. Runyon, who then held it. \
bottle with a gauze cover was thrust
toward the snake which made sudden
lunge forward, and spurted enough
poison into the jar to kill Il score Of
men. The poison is used in extremely
minute doses.

HELP STEVENS POINT
DAVIDSON TO ASK POSTOFFICE
APPROPRIATION
Representative VIII Not Make Demand
for lOshkosh-To Address
Philadelphians.

WASHINGTON, u. c., April %
Especial. Representative Davidson of
Oshkosh said today that he hoped to
have Il small finger in the omnibus public
building pie, which is to be soon cut for
public inspection.
That small piece Mr.. Davidson conf
IDENTIFY expects IS an appropriation of
SO. 600 for site and the erection there
on of Il public building at Stevens Point
Wis. Mr.. Davidson had another matter
on hand for his own town, Oshkosh, an
appropriation Of $4,000 for the con
struction of an addition to the present
pOstoffice. This he will not get, although
he only abandoned its prosecution before
the committee because it appears that q
very recently organized chamber of COM
merce in the historic village of Oshkosh
has Sgnified their desire, when they
arose from incubator stage of existence
and put on feathers and spurs, to buy
the old postOflice and establish them
serves therein, paying Uncle Sam some
thing near the 100000 which the late
Senator Sawyer obtained for its original
construction more than a decade ago.
The proposition that the trainers of
the omnibus public building bill are
working upon is to give each Republican
representative at least q small piece of
the pie. Thus far it has not developed
that any members, however he may
| relish the first piece dished out to him,
shall have the temerity to do the Oliver
! Twist act.
! Representative Davidson has been in
vited and accepted an invitation to add
dress the Young Mems Republican club
of Philadelphia at banquet to be held
at the Bellevue-Stratford hotel in Phila-
| helphia Saturday night next. The ban
! quet is practically given in honor of
Senator Philander c. Knox, Pennsyl-
vania's favorite son.

BEEDLE CHARGES
FIRE RISK TRICK
DECLARES INSURANCE COMPANIES
OWE STATE PROBABLY
$4,000.
SEES ERRORS IN REPORTS.
Commissioner May Bring Suit as Re
suit of Investigation Into Rein
suring Practice.
INQUIRY COVERS SEVERAL YEARS.

MADISON, Wis. April 27.-[Spe-
cial, THE discovery by Insurance Com
missioner Beedie that some fire insurance
companies in the state had been render
ing inaccurate reports to the department
for the last three years, will lead to an
investigation which may bring at least
$4,000 into the state treasury.
The discovery was made several days
ago in examining the tax reports OF the
fire insurance companies. Mr.. Beedle says
they RENTED the additional amount due
in 1907, but the inquiry has been pushed
beyond this years business and mistakes
have been found in the reports for 1903
and 1906.
The law provides that fire insurance
companies authorized to do business i'll
this state, must pay a tax of t per cent.
on the amount OF gross premium receipts
during the preceding year in this state.
From this gross income shall he deduct
ed the amount paid to any authorized
company for reinsuring.
1t was discovered that many of The
companies had reinsured in companies
not authorized in this state, and that the
reduction was made just rs il the com
panes were in reality authorized.
1t has been the practice OF some OF the
fire insurance companies to reinsure in
the Munich Reinsuring company, which
left the state in 1904.
The investigation would indicate
there is about $4,000 due the state from
this source" said Mr.. Beedle "Of course
| intend to demand that this full amount
shall be paid.
