John Alfred Vique.

The many friends of John Alfred
Ngue of Morrill, avenue. We're greatly
shocked Sunday, to learn of his sud-
den death, which occurred at the St
Earnabas hospital Portland, where he
had recently gone, accompanied by his
daughter. Mrs. Alice Haskell. He had
been in poor health since December
and it was hoped that an operation
might benelit him. a slight attack of
bronchitis DELAYED the operation, and.
Saturday evening, he was stricken
with congestion of the lungs, death
following a few hours later. The re-
mains were brought to his home. Sum
day.
John Alfred vigue was born in St
Francis. =. O.. June 3. 1S47 He was
the son of Levi and Modest Vigue.
His home had been in this city and
vicinity since he was two years of
age. He received his education in the
public schools and at the Coburn Clas-
Steal Institute. or the Waterville Acad-
envy. as it was then called. In 1855 he
entered the employ of John p. Caffrey.
then prominent grocer of this city.
He thoroughly learned the grocery
business. and afterwards was in the
employ, IoT I'VE years, OF Arnold d
Meader, hardware dealers. In 1876
he bought out the firm of VIM. Jordan
Co, grocers. and continued in this
business until 1899, when he retired
from the retail business. but continued
in the wholesale trade until 1908, when
he retired from active business life.
He served the city in various aetivi-
ties. At the time of his death he had
been for many years valued trustee
of the Waterville Savings Bank He
had also served as city assessor for
several years. He will be severely
missed in the Congregational church,
where he had been a life long and
active member
In 1872 he was married to Emily
Beattie. who died in 1896. To them
we're born three children, Mrs. Alice
f. Haskell, Charles w Nigue and Mrs.
Harriet V. Bessey, all of this city. In
1898 he was married to Mamie l..
Hall, who with the three children,
survive. The funeral arrangements
will be announced later.

New York newspapers suppressed news
relating to his campaign, and that OF
this account people in New York did not
realize chow deeply stirred the country
has been by the infamy of the so-ealled
primaries on Tuesday last i'm this city -
He asserted that "the men who had
Taft's interest in New York in their
keeping in the most bare-faced manner
cheated the people out of their right to
an honest vote"
The statement also contained refer
enee to President Tafts speech in Phil
adelphia, last night.
Last night. Mr.. Taft said that pros
perty was coming, and that he should
do nothing to check it," Col Roosevelt
said. I'm the first place | do not be-
lieve that permanent prosperity will
come through or by dishonesty: and in
the next place l believe that this country
cannot afford to purchase prosperity ON
such terms; cannot afford to accept pros
perity as the price of dishonesty and cor
ruption such as we have seen in the last
few days"
Col. Roosevelt said he was to remain
at Sycamore Hill until his departure on

Wonders of the Dead Sea.

In many ways the Dead Sea, in
Palestine. can claim the distinction of
being the most remarkable sheet of
water on the face of the globe. Al
though known by name to every one.
its banks are seldom visited, and
many of its picturesque gorges, Won
derful mountains and strange fertile
cases have remained virtually uneX-
plored territory. So much SO, in fact
that the Palestine Exploration Society
of Berlin, in conjunction with the Ber-
lin Institution for Sea Exploratory
Research, have determined to explore
the basin of the Dead Sea thoroughly
as we'll as that of the River Jordan.
Only twice in modern times has any
one attempted to make a systematic
study of this historic region. The
first investigator was Lieutenant
Lynch, of the United States Navy, in
1S4S, and the second, some years later,
the Due de Luynes. Although both
these explorers gave to the world
many unknown facts about this Won
derful region their accounts cannot be
regarded as altogether exhaustive.
1t is probable, however, that we
shall hear more of the Dead Sea in the
Turkish Government granted one
SQUAD Rey, an influential and wealthy
banker of Constantinople, conces-
sion for the exploitation of the min
erals in the Dead Sea basin. That the
whole region is exceedingly rich in va
rlous kinds of minerals has been
known for years, and the finest and
purest bfumen. together with quantl-
ties of peerless sulphur are obtainable
here. In Byzantine times copper
mines were worked near the south end
of the Dead Sea, both in horizontal
galleries and vertical shafts, while the
basin is rich in marble, porphyry and
other fine stones. as well as phos-
pilates, 1t often has been stated by
American connoisseurs travelling to the
Dead Sea that evidences of coal and
oil. which in America would be an
mstakable. are very apparent in this
region. Salt is found in great guam
titles, but as the government has a
monopoly upon this commodity it is
at present largely imported from
Smyrna and England.-Wide World

Another Winter in
Antarctic for Scott.

Wellington, New Zealand, March 81.
Capt. Robert +. SCOTS vessel Terra
Nova, which carried the British expedi-
ton to the Antarctic, has arrived at
Akarca, a harbor in Banks peninsular.
New Zealond, but has not brought back
Capt Scott or the members of his expe-
dtion. The commander of the Terra
Nova brought instead the following
brief message from Scott:
Il am remaining in the Antarctic for
another winter in order to continue and
complete my work.
The latest news sent back by Capt.
Scott to his base at McMurdo Sound
showed that, Ian. 3, he had reached a
point $50 miles from the South pole and
was still advancing.
1t was clear that had the explorer de-
layed sending back notification of his
progress until he actually reached the
pole, news from him could not have
been received by the Terra Nova before
she was compelled to leave, owing to
the winter setting in and the freezing of
the Ross sea.
All on board the Terra Nova are we'll.
Great disappointment was felt when it
became known that the Scott party had

Thrilling Rescue
OF Seven Persons.

st Louis, March 31-Thousands Of
Sunday afternoon spectators witnessed
the thrilling rescue of a family of seven
from a sinking houseboat in the flooded
Mississippi river here, today. The house
boat in which a man, his wife and five
small children lived. was torn from its
mornings by the heavy driftwood and
soon after being swept into the current
sprank a leak and started to sink.
Two motor boats, after fighting off the
heavy drift, reached the side of the boat
Just as the water was sweeping over the
deck II sank within five minutes after
theklast occupant had stepped to safety.
The river reached 26.9 feet here, to-
night, rise of 40 feet in the last "a
hours. This mark is nine-tenths of a foot
below flood stage and the water has in
undated the railroad &tracks along the
Ievee.
Unless an unlocked for rise occurs,
no great damage is expected at St.
Louis, except to small shipping prop
erty.
Conditions in the fooaeu district at
Cairo are serious and the situation Is
growing graver. Tonight, the gauge
at Cairo marks 52.5 feet, which IS
three tenths of a foot higher than the
river has ever risen at that point be-
fore.
The Drinkwater levee on the Mis-
souri, side broke, today, despite the
efforts of more than 1000 men and,
tonight, the water is sweeping over a
3-mile stretch of levee and flooding
almost the entire southeastern section
Of Missouri. Two Iron Mountaift
trains were caught between the Birds
Point and Charleston floods, today.
and the passengers had to be. taken
off in boats.
