SNAKE BITE IS FATAL,
DEPENDED ON RELIGION

CHICAGO, June 14.-Death caused by
rattlesnake bite last night ended nearly
week of torture endured through religious
fanaticism by Oliver Pugh, 60 years old,
of Zion City.
Pugh was bitten by the snake last We'd
nesday, but true to the teachings OF his
creed refused to take antidotes for the
poison or medicine of any kind, relying
on the prayers of his Acknowledgements
to cure him.
Pugh was bitten on the little finger
while picking strawberries. He was a
former alderman of Zion City, going TO
Zion in the days when John Alexander
Dowie was its Overseer. Pugh is the most
prominent Zionite to die in torture with
out medical attendance since Dowiss
daughter succumbed some years ago to
burns she sustained when an alcohol
lamp used to heat an iron to curl her
hair exploded.

HOW CH1NAMEN GET IN.
Discovery Made of Scheme by Which
Celestinls Enter in Great Num-
bers Into This Country.

Discoveries have just been made,
says a Santa Barbara (Cal.) special to
the San Francisco Chronicle, which
are believed to establish conclusively
that wholesale smuggling of Chinese
from British Columbia into the United
States through Santa Barbara has
been carried on. The revenue officials
were notified several weeks ago and
for three weeks the revenue cutter
McCulloch has been cruising in the
waters of Santa Barbara channel in
search of evidence. The smuggling
scheme is outlined as follows:
Lumberladen vessels leave Puget
Sound for southern California points,
and, after getting well out to sea, run
over to Vancouver, b. c., and Pick up
Chinese, which are ostensibly shipped
as part of the crew. Some of these
vessels put in to Port Hartford, San
Pedro and other ports with crews
more than twice as large as necessary.
When sailing for the north the crews
consist almost exclusively of white
sailors.
Another method adopted is the land
Ing of Chinese on one of the islands in
the channel, and they are brought to
Santa Barbara as Abalone fishermen.

Tho Story of Big Yields OF Grain
Comes From Every Section

When the man in the States was
told few years ago that he could
secure as free homestead $50 acres
of land that would produce from ~
to 40 bushels OF wheat, or 90 TO "
bushels of oats per acre, he was skep-
teal; or that he could purchase lands
at from IS to s12 per acre, without
residential duties he was doubtful Inc
homesteader has now land worth from
fifteen to seventy dollars per acre. ana
the man who purchased has seen his
land double in price in four years
time. Both have found that the story
of remarkable yields has been verified,
They have had crops exceeding that
promised; they have seen oats that
yielded 100 bushels to the acre, and
have grown wheat that averaged 40
and as high as so bushels to the acre:
and their wheat was not a 5S pound
to the bushel article, but 81 and G3
pounds. They have seen within the
past year or two trunk lines Of rail-
way constructed through their district,
and throwing out branch lines to the
gates of their farms. They have seen
schools established in their neighbour
hood and the Government contributing
largely to their expense. Churches
have been erected, villages have been
established. towns have sprung into
existence and cities are rapidly SPRING
