SHE TALKS TO DEAD.
Woman Educator Says She Has Re-
ceiVed Communication.

Boston. Dec. Mrs. NJ. De c. Vsrral,
lecturer OF Greek and Latin at Newnham
College. England. has had communication
with the dead. according to Prof. J. II
Hyslop, secretary OF the American Society
OF Psyehical Research. The professor
said to-day:
There is no question but that Mrs.
Verral has had communication with the
dead. and such communication does more
than anything else to prove the immor-
tality OF the soul or spirit. Such proof
OF Immortality strengthens the argument
OF the existence OF a deity. l don't think
one can get adequate evidence Of the ex-
istence OF a deity until immortality Is
proved"

A Hurt Dog Tells

The best proof that an individual or company is meeting with success is shown by knocking and petty jeal- ousy on the part of competitors.
 1t is the fellow that is not doing anything that never gets the knocks but he becomes specialist with the hammer. So when you hear a fel- low knocking, you can say he is a Hurt Dog-The other fellow has step ped on his toes.
 You will find this the case with professional men-Business Men and all others.
 The Insurance Business is no ex- |ception.
 The Consolidated Casualty Con- pany has begun to step on their toes and they are beginning to yell.
 At first they began to whine, now you can hear them yelping, on every corner. In fact they congregate and OLD TRAY YELPS and the LITTLE FIDOS bring in the chorus.
 When asked by the public why all this noise. Why we have new company in the field. We'll you have had them before. have never heard you in such pain and agony as this.
 Yes, But-Well hold on, don't they pay their claims? Yes, that Is the trouble and they, are offering $100 reward for proof of any unpaid just claim.
 We'll why don't you get that $100 and quit knocking. I can't find an unpaid claim. Are they prompt in the settlement of claims. Yes, all the policyholder has to do is to have his physician fill claim blank and go to their office and receive drafts in full
 We'll, if this is the case. I see no reason of so much unwarranted knocking. We'll on the 0. T. I am going to confess to you their policies are so liberal, and they give their policyholders such square deal, they are putting us out of business and we have to do this to hold some of our business. We feel encourag- ed over the above as our president assures us that knocking on the part of competitors means greater success Your for Business lKIMBALL & SAUNDERS Gen Mgrs. 113 Pine St. Old Phone 296

NO FREIGHT MOVING
 ON TRUNK LINE

Bontreal, July 21.-s.Freight" con- tinued to be the problem of the Grand Trunk railway strike today.
 Five thousand striking conductors and trainmen continued to be con- spicuous by their absence not only from the posts which they left Mon day night but from public view any where
 Their leaders, speaking for them, re-afflrmed that all are quietly await ing the expected time when the rail- road will find resumption of freight business impossible and will make such wage overtures to the strikers as to induce them to return.
 At company headquarters it is stat ed the strikers have been eliminated wholly from the situation.
 From the view point of the many cities and towns affected, the freight situation is increasingly serious.
 Ice companies are unable to get ice.
 The Canadian Pacific is avoiding possible trouble by refusing to run ice cars on the Grand Trunk sidings, and much perishable freight seems doom ed to destruction.

TEN MEN KILLED
 BY AN EXPLOSION

Washington, July 21.-Unoffic;a re- ports were received at the War depart ment to the effect that Sergeant Hess and ten men were killed by the ex- ploslon of a battery at Fortress Mon- roe artillery practice today. Officials are endeavorng to confirm this by long distance telephone. Further un- official reports are that an accident at Fortress Monroe took place in the De- Roussy battery and was caused by the blowing out of breech lock.
 The known dead are Sergeant Hess. gun commander; Corporal Bradford, gun pointer; Private Sullivan, Private Duffey and Private Adkins.
 The dead artillerymen were attach ed to the Sixty-ninth corps. Ten are still missing The bodies of the dead artillerymen were horribly man. gled. The wounded were rushed to the Fort hospital. The disaster was witnesr led by number of prominent officers, who were here to see the bat tie practice. Wives and children of several of the men killed were pres ent and saw them meet their terrible death.
 The accident occurred at the be- ginning of the coast artillery battle practice at Fort Monroe. General Car ter, assistant chief of staff, was at the Fort with number of army and navy officers from Washington to view the battle practice with the big guns of the Fort
 In the battle practice, the shore bat terles fired upon fleet target lowed up Hampton roads, about four miles off shore, in such manner as to be comparable to moving battleships. According to plans of the officers of the coast artillery the firing was to be conducted on larger scale than had ever been attempted anywhere. It was planned to have five batteries of ten and twelve inch guns concentrate their fire on the target fleet and den1- olish it as quickly as possible.
 Thirty officers, who had recently been graduated from the artillery school at Fortress Monroe, were to be in charge of the tests.
