Prehistoric Trees on Pembrokeshire

A prehistoric forest has been
brought to light by the recent storm
weather and heavy seas at Freshwa-

coast. The action of the waves has
resulted in the washing away OF great
quantities OF sand. and there is now
exposed to view sunken forest OF
about a quarter OF an acre in extent.
Where there -as stretch OF IN

mass Of black rocks and huge black
gnarled trees, with their roots en-

are in splendid preservation. In some
cases the wood nas simply changed

Madison-In compliance with a
law of 1909 pertaining to the pre-
vention of Inflammation of the eyes

adopted the following resolution:
''The state board of health of Wis

ophthalmia neonatorum, two drops
of a 1 per cent fresh solution OF
nitrate of silver should be used in

NOMINEES WILL BE INVITED
Asked to Give Addresses at
State Fair.

Madison-The state fair board of
agriculture will extend an invitation
to President Taft to make An address
at the state fair grounds during the
1912 exhibit. AS soon as the demo-
cratic nominee is named at Baltimore
a similar invitation will be extended
to the representative of that party.
Bids have been opened for the con-
struction of one section of the $780,
900 grandstand, to cost SIS, 900, at
the Office of Mr. Cannon in Milwau-
kee on Wednesday. The structure is
to be built of reinforced concrete.
The board is experiencing some
difficulty in apportioning space for
exhibits of manufactures. Numerous
applications received recently have
practically exhausted all available
room for this class of exhibits. 1t
is probable that an appropriation for
a new manufactures building may be
requested at the next session of the
legislature and a new structure be
built next year.

Helping her gracefully from the

Jack Sheppards adventures have

Sheppard was only twenty-five when
ne was hanged. He was born in Lon
don in 1902 and was brought up in a
poorbouse. When he was old enough
to work he was apprenticed to car
penter. Then it was that he learned
much about locks and bolts and the
best way to cut through walls. That
seems to have been all he mastered
Of the carpenter trade. But it was
enough for his purposes.
He deserted his master and began
to pick up a living by petty theft.
Being mentally deficient, he found this
an easier way TO get on than by work

before a magistrate as a runaway

once entered on a career OF wholesale

Dozen Telephone Girls Plunged to
Their Death When Exchange Is
DemoIished-Canadla City In
Total Darkness-Loss 100000.

Regina, Sask, July St was sor-
ing broke, after the havoc wrought
by the cyclone which struck this city
early Sunday night. Citizens who had
escaped death or injury aided the 10
lice during the long, weary night in
the work of rescuing the irjured and
bodies CO the dead from the ruins.
Thi2ty-six bodies had been recov-
cred in the ruins. The death list prob
ably will be confined to fifty, The
militia has been recalled from its an
nual encampment and is in charge of
the city.
The telephone exchange was RACED
with dozen or so girls amongst the
debris. The power plant shared the
same fate, and to make the work of
rescue more terrible, the city is in
darkness. Cyclonic clouds have
lowered around the northwest, and it
is feared the storm will return.
Before entering the city from the
southeast it destroyed the new capital
building, then 1t cleaned up some two
hundred or more private residences.
Then six grain elevators were blown
across the tracks, completely block
ing traffic. Then it passed away to
the northwest Chaos reigns here.
Five thousand troops are being
rushed to the scene from Sewel camp,
for already pillaging has commenced,
and the mayor has iss led orders to
shoot anyone on sight seen pillaging
or robbing dead. Details are very
meager from Regina and every dis
patch gives a different number of
dead. Three churches were destroy
ed and hundreds of people are injured.
All hospitals are filed and stores
are being turned into morgues and
temporary hospitals. Surrounding
cities and towns are sending doctors
and nurses. All direct communication
with Regina is cut off and messages
being received here are dispatched
from IeighboTing towns. The three
telegraph Offices are wrecked as well
as the railroad stations.
The loss will run into $5,000,000 on
most conservative estimate and may
run double this amount. Dispatches
received here placed the dead at rs
with number injured who will die.

east of here also struck but this can

Several fires broke out in Regina after
cyclone and two of them attained dan
gerous proportions, but heroic work on
the part of firemen and volunteers
saved the situation, but the fire is
liable to break out again at all mo-
ment for there is the widest disorder
which the royal northwest mounted
police are not able to control.
