breathed their last long before being
taken to the surface. Before the bod
les were recovered, the well was part
ly freed from gas by lowering buck
ct filled with lighted, oil soaked hay
and waving it to and fro. VIM. Arbo-
CAST then descended and tied ropes
around the dead men and they were
pulled to the surface.
On Monday, E. C. Leonard as act
ing coroner, empaneled jury and held
an inquest, the jury giving a decision
in accordance with the above stated
facts. The gentlemen thus deliberat-
ing were C. E. Griffin, w. D. Arbo-
CAST, Mason Vanderhoef, Jos. Eizen-
bart, Jos. Wiesner and Manfred Kopp,
the latter brother in-law of the two
deceased
The brothers had resided in Glendive
and vicinity for some three years, and
were known as Industrious and we'll
liked citizens. They had improved
their claims at Belle Prairie until they
were among the best in the neighbor-
hood. Charles Arnold was 81 years of
age and leaves wife and four child
rem. John was but 27 years Of age.
He leaves a wife and two children.
They also leave mother, brother and
three sisters living at Esmond, N. D.
The two dead men were of Russian
descent.
The funerals of the two unfortu-
nate victims were held yesterday at the
Catholic church, with burial in the To-
cal cemetery. Not often has this COM
munity been called upon to mourn such
a sudden calamity. Especially will
the sympathy of all go out to the wives
and little children of the two brothers,
who are thus suddenly bereft of hus-
band and father.

AWFUL DISEASE
REAPS HUNDREDS
Endemic of Cholera in Russia the Worst That
Has Been Known for Many Years.

which very materially increase the
liability of cholera infection and the
general spread of the disease.
1t is feared that the cholera will
last another fortnight, being figur-
ed on the basis of former epidemics.
All varieties of Asiatic cholera have
now developed here, there being
numerous cases of the Algid type,
which is accompanied by the great
est suffering.
The cholera was first reported this
year about the end of July. 1t was
Of virulent type and the percent
age of mortality was high. The
disease spread rapidly into the prov
inces along the Volga, down both
coasts of the Caspian and in the ter
ritory of the Don Cossacks; in other
words, in the eastern and southeas-
tern districts of European Russia.
By the end of August there was an
average of l 200 cases reported each
week with a mortality of more than
so per cent.
On Aug. IA it was announced that
St. Petersburg was threatened with
the scourge, and on Sept. 8 it was
definitely established that the dis
ease was in the capital. On Sept. 10
there were so cases there, and the
disease was prevalent in all quarters
of the city. The record of cases and
deaths from that date until the pres
sent showed alarming increases, and
it is the general belief here that
the health authorities, in desire to
prevent the people from becoming
panic-stricken are holding their Off
cial reports down to a minimum.
Advices from all parts of Russia
show that the alarm is very general,
and that there is good reason for it.
At Moscow a quarantine has been
established at all railway stations
and passengers are placed under the
strictest surveillance. Up to the pres
ent Moscow has been immune. A
death has occurred at Heisengfers
from the disease and the Russian
steamers have been denied entrance
to Viborg harbor for evading quar-
antine at Transgund, a roadstead
eight miles from that port.
Cholera made its appearance in
Russia last year, but it was confined
to the southern and the southeastern
provinces and did not get to the cap
ital. The cold weather during the
later part of October and the earlier
weeks of November checked its
spread and by the 1st of December
it had practically disappeared. This
year, however. it has had what may
be termed flying start, and it is
sweeping over the city in a manner
to bring alarm to all classes. 1t is
believed now that the waters of the
Neva are contaminated. Recently
steamers have been supplying boiled
water to the river barges. and
large force of physicians have been
drafted to make thorough canvass
of the quarter where the disease is
supposed to have originated and
where it received its strongest inn
petus.

St Petersburg, Sept. 20.-St. Pet
orsburg is in the grasp of Asiatic
.boIera, which already has exceeded
IN severity and numbers the vista
tion of 1898. The disease is increas-
mo dailv at an alarming rate, and
unless the authorities show in the
fnture a much greater degree of
.bilitv to cope with the situation
Than thev have in the past, there is
ovprv reason to fear that it will get
out Of hand.
Several suspicious cases have been
rpported in the Finnish archipelago,
where the members of the imperial
family are cruising. Every precau-
fOn has been taken to keep suspect
ed craft from the vicinity of the
royal yacht.
The dread disease first made its
appearance among the poorer
people herded in wretched ten
enentS, but it is now spreading to
the better classes.
Cases have been discovered in the
barracks among the troops.
The situation assumes a graver
aspect from the appearance today of
avery virulent type of the disease
in two cases, Of which death follow
ed within Is minutes of the first
symptoms.
As announced by the official bull
letinS, the cases numbered 349 and
the deaths 128 during the "a hours
between Friday noon and Saturday
noon. This was a considerable de-
crease Of the preceding day, but
there is doubt of the accuracy Of
the official statement. The record
for the same "a hours ascertained
from unofficial but reliable sources
shows the actual number to have
been far in excess Of that. Whether
Or not, however, there was no
actual decrease, the disease resumed
It's march on Saturday, statistics
posted showing that from Saturday
noon until Sunday noon there were
S% cases and 191 deaths, this being
the largest number so far.
The governments threat to apply
tne provisions Of martial law has
anVen the municipality officers to
bend all their energies to clearing
ne city of the scourge. The alder
manic council today voted $3.50, 900
70 enlarge the hospital space, to pur-
VlaSe and distribute disinfectants,

make their mothers feel this May day
that in her children's hearts she is
"Queen of the May"
Every person is asked to at least OBJ
serve the day by wearing white carns-
ton in honor of his mother, and as a
badge of love and loyalty. Show your
mother some special kindness this day in
words of affection and appreciation, by a
gift or visit to her, or by love letter If
absent from her. If she is not living
bless the life of some other mother in
memory of her.
Az these services every mother, young
or old, will be made to feel they are in
deed guests of honor. Special music will
be rendered both morning and evening.
The duet, "If You Love Your Mother
Meet Her in the Skies" will be sung at
the morning service. and the male choir
will assist in the music in the evening.
The white carnations will be on sale at
the market held by the Ladies' Aid So
ciety in the lecture room of the church,
next Saturday at 300 p. IN.

Arm Taken off by Cars.

A serious mishap befell John Watson,
of Kellettville, Wednesday, May 9th,
while going to his work at Hastings,
on the Sheffield q Tionesta Railway,
which resulted in the loss of his right
hand and part of the forearm. He got off
the train, which was hauling ties, to turn
a switch, and while trying to board the
car he slipped and fell in such way
that his arm was caught and run over by
one of the wheels before he could remove
it. He was brought to his home at Kel-
lettville as speedily as possible, where
Drs. Detar and Serrill dressed the
wounds.
On Thursday DR.. Siggins of Oil City
was called in consultation and an effort
was made to saye the member by remov-
ing part of the crushed bone and bring
ing the two ends together with silver
stitches. 1t appeared at first that the et-
forts might be successful but on Satur-
day DR.. Siggins was again summoned,
the wound having assumed gsngrenous
condition and the arm had to be ampu-
tated about two inches below the
elbow. At last accounts the patient
was getting along as well as could be ex-
pected. Mr.. Watson is a brother of our
townsmau Geo. +. Watson.

After Many Years.

A dispatch from Harrisburg, Pa, under
date of May 9th, says: A corporation
that did business for Al years without re-
ceiving letters patent was discovered at
the Auditor Generals department yester-
day. The company is the Tidioute- War
rem Oil Company, chartered by the act of
the Legislature in 1867. For some un-
known reason it did not take out letters.
The company made money in Warren
county. Recently some experiments
showed that there was oil at greater
depths and new drilling was started.
The company, which was dormant, was
revived, one of the original members and
owners of stock, being found in Boston.
1t is now in operation and the state au-
thorities upon investigation found that it
had been in existence for years, put had
never paid any state tax. 1t has now re-
ceiYed letters patent and the question
whether it is liable for back taxes will be
referred by Auditor General Young's de-
partment to the Attorney General.

Letter TO Landers & Wyman,
TOneStd, F, Pa.


DEAR SIRs:-The wear of paint goes by
gallons; the less-gsllons paint wears
longest. The reason, of course, is its
strength. 1t takes less gallons, because
it is strong; it wears long time, because
it is strong. 1t is all-psint and the
strongest paint.
There is best paint among allpaint
paints. No two are alike, of course; no
two cover alike or wear alike. One is
thin, another is thick; one has too much
lead, another to much zinc, another is
right. The right is Devoe, so far as is
yet known. Perhaps somebody else will
tind-out better paint than Devoe; then
Devoe will become more-gsllons paint,
a costler paint, weaker paint, less
durable paint, less economical paint, a
timid paint.
Bigger changes than that have come
over the world. Devoe has the lead; why
shouldn't we lose it to somebodyelse?
Yours truly,
81 +. w. DEvoE X Co.
Z. S.-Dunn q Fulton sell our paint.
