INDIANS BAT
LIKE FIENDS

SPOKANE. Sept. 2S.-The Spo-
kane Indians batted like fiends
here yesterday against Jensen, the
Portland pitcher, and won the
game to 8. Jensen was saved
from worse defeat by the splen-
did backing received from the out
field, who cut off many stiff line
drives. Portland became danger
GUS in the third when Schwenk
weakened and five runs crossed
the place. Kraft went in at that
period and relieved him and the
Portland scores stopped for the
rest of the game. Portland used
IL men during the game.

Total Toll of the Hot Weather.

The loss Of more than 500 lives is
to be credited to the general heat
wave Of July I to 5, 1911. The tor
rid period will be memorable in wea-
ther annals for its wide extent, its
long duration, its lecord-breaking
temperatures IN many places, and the
long list of fatalities which it has
caused.
The hundreds Of news DISPATCHES
which cities from the North Atlantic
scaboard west to the Plains States
exchanged during the five days, ac-
count, according to careful review
for the death OF 431 persons from
the heat and so from drowning-a
total Of 511. Incomplete as the rec
ord Is from the failure Of many
points to report specifically the num-
Der OF such deaths, it is as serious q
showing as Is remembered for many
years, If not q record The number
Of prostrations Is still moro difficult
to compute, but from the review of
the dispatches it appears that thou
sands were seriously overcome by the
heat In the great cities.

FIGHTS FIRE ON HIGH STACK.
Painter With Clothing ,Ablaze Slides
Down Burning Rope.

Pittsburg, June 30.-Two hundred
and fifty feet above the ground, sus-
pended by rope that was burning
and His clothes blazing FROM naphtha
and carbon Oil, Chris Sinkas, a stack
painter, SO years old, made his way
down, hand under hand, to earth,
while a crowd of men stood Mortified
at the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Company's plant In
East Pittsburg. He held rope in
his left hand to regulate the speed
Of his descent, at the same time using
his right hand in an effort to beat out
the flames.
When Sinkas reached the ground
his clothing was almost burned from
his body. He was terribly burned
about the right hand and arm, chest,
and face, and his left hand was raw
and bleeding from being torn by the
rope as he made the swift descent.
Sinkas was painting a smokestack.
Before the tar Is applied a mixture
of carbon oil and naphtha Is put on to
cut off the rust. Before starting to
work he lighted cigarette and toss
ed the lighted match, he supposed, to
the ground. Instead it dropped into
the bucket OF naphtha and oil. An
instant later an explosion occurred.

The Year Without n Summer.
(Greenyille News }


The long continued and unusually
hot weather has caused friend of
the News to unearth some interesting
information about the year 1916
which was called "t'he year without
a summer The Boston Congre-
gationalist of some years ago gave
the following account Of It:
January and February were mild,
March was cold, April began warm,
but ended in snow and ice. Ice
formed an inch thick in May, and
fields were planted over and over
again till 1t was too late to replant.
June was the ooldest ever known in
this latitude; frost and ice were
common. Almost everything was
killed. Fruit nearly all was de-
stroyed. Snow fell to the depth of
ten inches In Vermont, seven in
Maine, three in the interior of New
York, and also in Massachusetts.
There were few warm days. 1t was
called a dry season. But little rain
fell. The wind blew steadily from
the north, cold and fierce. Mothers
knit extra socks and mittens for their
children in the spring, and wood
piles, THAT usually disappeared dur
ing the warm spell in front of the
houses, were speedily built up again.
Planting and shivering were done to.
gether, and the farmers who worked
out their taxes on the county roads
wore overcoats and mit1ens. On the
18th OF June a heavy snow fell in
New England. The cold was intense,
y farmer who had a large field of
corn in Tewesbury built fires around
1t at night to ward off frost. Many.
an evening he and his neighbors took
turns watching them. He was re-
warded with the only crop Of corn in
the neighborhood.

Honest Medicines Versus Fakes.

President Taft's recent message
suggesting an amendment to the
Pure Food and Drugs law In its re-
lation to prepared medicines, does
not refer to such standard medicines
as Foley's Honey and Tar Compound
and Foley Kidney Pills, both Of
which are true medicines carefully
compounded Of ingredients whose
medicinal qualities are recognized by
the medical profession itself as the
best known remedial agents for the
diseases they are intended to coun-
teract. For over three decades Fo-
ley's Honey and Tar Compound has
been standard remedy for coughs,
colds and affections of the throat,
chest and lungs for children and
grown persons, and 1T retains to day
its pre- -eminence above all other pre-
paratona of Its kind. Foley Kidney
Pills are equally effective and meri-
torious. Bar on's Pharmacy, Wal
