taken in the election. The booths
we're crowded with women this after
noon and a large vote is expected to be
polled by them. The men are also vot-
ing as fast as possible and the clerks
and judges are kept busy all the time.
AS far as can be judged so far, the
first woman to cast a vote in this city
lays between Mrs. Davidson of the
seventh ward and Mrs Wech of the
sixth. 1t is almost difficult to Judge,
however, as there are other ladies who
we're at the polls bright and early.

Society

It may not be fully understood by
the public generally that Salem has IN
its midst the nucleus Of an organiza-
tion which has long been needed in
the city. For several weeks past Mr.,
r. B. Carson, Of Portland, has been di-
recting number Of singers at GAO
State street in "The Rose Maiden" a
cantata Of great beauty and worth.
The object of this work is that Salem
may have some organization in which
the singers of this community may be
brought together, and already 81 sing
ers have enrolled as members. 1t is
likely that the society will be prepared
to present the "Rose Maiden some
time in January, and, If the members
so elect, the proceeds from their con-
! cert will be devoted to some one of
Salems deserving institutions.
The armory Y, NJ. c. A. library or
other institutions could be helped in
this way, and the music of this city
likewise elevated There will be a re-
hearsal this evening at GAO State street

This Season.

Wenatchee Growers Will ISuffer Loss
This Season.
Wenatchee, Wash.-For the first
time since apple growing assumed
commercial proportions in the Wen
atchee valley, growers will lose from
frost this season. For five nights the
mercury steadily descended, reaching
a maximum of Is degrees. It is es-
timated that 100000 boxes of late
apples are still on the trees, and many
of these will be hurt for shipment. It
is impossible to form an estimate of
the approximate loss, but experts on
fruit growing say it will be heavy.
Two unusual conditions have COM
bined to cause the loss. This years
crop matured slowly and harvest is
two weeks later than usual. Further
more, the cold weather came earlier
than usual and was preceded by rains,
which increased the humidity. Apple
shipments continue from this point at
the rate Of so, 900 boxes daily. Two
thousand carloads remain to be
shipped.

VICE PRESIDENT
SHERMAN DEAD
Succumbs to Bright's Disease
After Lingering Illness.
Members Of Family Present - Slight
Rally Precedes nd-uncon-
scious for Hours.

Utica, N. Y.-After long illness,
Vice President Sherman died ct his
home in this city 1t 9:42 o'clock
Wednesday night Of uraemic poison,
caused by Bright's disease.
He had been sinking since early
morning, and it was realized that
death was question only Of = few
hours.
There was slight relief shortly af-
ter z o'clock, caused by an apparent
improvement in the condition Of the
kidneys, but it did not prove real or
lasting, and, at best, gave only tenn
porary hope.
At 8 O'Clock the patients tempera-
ture rose to LOG. From that time his
condition rapidly passed from bad to
worse, until the end. Mr.. Sherman
was unconscious when the end came,
and had been in that condition for
several hours.
All the members of the immediate
family were witnesses to the final
scene.
Soon after Mr.. Sherman died, DR..
F. H. Peck, the attending physician,
issued the following statement:
1.-The vice president died at 8 AZ p.
M, without regaining consciousness
for a moment. He was perfectly
quiet. He died in the presence Of his
wife. her brother and sister, his two
brothers, and his three sons and their
wives. He had been entirely uncon-
scious since z o'clock, when he had q
period of partial consciousness lasting
for about IL minutes. He died in q
uraemic coma, as a result of Bright's
disease, heart disease and anterior
sclerosis."

BULoARIANs RoUT TURKS.
Sultan's Main Army Beaten After
Two Days Fight.


London-The silence of Sofia con-
corning the great battle in Thrace has
at last been broken by a brief dis
patch announcing Bulgarian victory
and the capture Of the town Of Lule
Burgas.
The dispatch says: "After two
days. fighting the Bulgarian army has
gained complete victory over the
principal Turkish forces. The Turks
have retreated in disorder. The town
of Lule Burgas has been taken"
This dispatch and equally laconic
dispatches from the Turkish COM
mander contain the only news yet
available and still leave the situation
rather obscure.
The message from Sofia apparently
refers to early events, while the dis
patch of Nazim Pasha, the Turkish
minister of war, describes two battles,
one sortie from Adrianople in the
direction of Maras, the other in the
direction of Visa, from which it must
be inferred that the engagements are
extending over long front.
A Sofia dispatch sent before the
capture Of Lule Burgas was known
throws new light on the disposition
of the Turkish forces. It is evident
that earlier reports Of the taking Of
this town were premature. It ap-
pears that the Turks line of defense
extended along the Erkene river, with
second line from Demotica to Lule
Burgas.
Both sides claim victory, but there
is no reason to doubt that the Turkish
second line of defense has been broken.

NINETEEN STRICKEN BLIND.
Loss Of Sight Results After Expos
ure to Electric Rays.

Anderson, Ind. Nineteen persons
are reported to have been stricken
blind as result of gazing at light
caused by workmen welding with an
electrical process on trolley wire,
according to local physicians who were
called to treat the cases. Several
who saw the light were not stricken
until several hours afterwards.
John Hagel, of Hamilton, Ohio, was
playing cards in lodgeroom, when he
showed back his chair and exclaimed,
"I'm going blind" He was assisted
to the home of his mother, and had
not regained his sight ut last accounts.
Virtually all the 10 reported to physi-
clans are being kept in dark rooms.
A local eye specialist said that in
each case attended by him the inside
of the eyelid was greatly irritated.
He gave as his theory that the pc
culiar rays of light given out by the
welding process caused the quick de-
velopment of bacteria, already lodged
in the eye, and blindness resulted.

SCHOONER LOST
ON COOS JETTY
Osprey Dashes on Rocks and
Five Men Perish.
1uo Roscoe Pushes to Rescue-Cap.
tain of Wrecked Vessel Re-
fuses to Be Saved.

Marshfeld, Or.-F'ive lives were
,ost on the Coos Bay bar Friday morn.
mo when the little gasoline schooner
Osprey was wrecked and her captain,
rofusing to be the only one of the
crow saved, leaped to death on the
ietty rocks.
Heroic attempts were made to save
tbe men by the tug Roscoe, but with
ont result. The lifesavers were out,
Int were unable to do anything, as
the sea was rollinghigh, and an airship
a;oht made twice over the bar by
Aviator Christofferson, of Portland,
in the hope of locating some of the
men but they had met death 80 quick
" and the waves of the bar had SO
raoidly accomplished their work of
destruction that there was no chance
tn do anything when the news of the
disaster reached this city.
The correct list of the dead follows
Captain Gus Johnson, of Wedder-
buru. master of the Osprey; Chester
Johnson, of Coquille, engineer Of the
Osprey; Joe Peitsch, of Aberdeen,
seaman; Captain H. jacobson, form
prIv master of the wrecked Berwick,
Messenger; Indian Ned Harvey, of
Wedderburn, passenger.
The Osprey left Rogue River Thurs
day at l o'clock and stopped at Port
Oxford. She was loaded with salmon
and five tons of gold-bearing black
sand. She reached Coos Bay some
time Friday morning and attempted to
cross in, when the heavy seas on the
bar swamped her and caused the little
boat to capsize. Even then she was
righted by another wave.
The tug Roscoe, Captain Tyler, from
Siuslaw river, was in the lower bay
to tow out a schooner. He made a
trip to the bar about o'clock to see
the condition of the bar and found it
not possible to 60 out.
Just then he saw the lights of an
incoming boat. Suddenly the lights
disappeared and the Osprey was seen
bottom side up. When she turned over
Captain Johnson and one other man
could be seen aboard. They came out
of the hold.
The Roscoe worked in close to her
and line was thrown out. A third
line finally reached Captain Johnson,
of the Osprey, and he made it fast to
himself. The Roscoe was within q
few feet of the Osprey. The men
aboard her called to Johnson to jump,
but he would not. Finally to prevent
collision the Roscoe had to start
ahead.
A final appeal was made to Johnson
to jump and be pulled aboard the Ros-
coe. He was warned that the Roscoe
would have to pull him in, but instead
of jumping he grabbed hold and
braced himself and the lifeline broke.
The Roscoe got away, but missed the
jetty rocks only few feet.

London-A brief Sofia dispatch an
nounces what may prove to be the
most important move of the victorious
bulgarian army SO far-the capture of
Eski Bahia. -
The dispatch describes this town as
an important position on the main line
between Adrianople and CONSTANT
nople, but fails to say whether the
Bulgarians are in actual possession of
the railway station. If thew are
astride the railway at this point thew
have cut the communication between
Constantinople and Sofia.
With 1000 Turkish troops now in
Adrianople, it had been supposed the
Turkish forces after the fall Of Kirk
Kilesseh were holding the line from
Kulesburgas to Lulehburgas, q short
distance east of Eski Bahia.

about the face and arms.
A. L. Brockman, Portland, injured
about the eyes, but not seriously.
The cause of the explosion is more
or less shrouded in mystery. What is
considered as the only plausible ex-
PLANTATION is the probability of water
in the boiler being low and cold water
turned in, resulting in the explosion.
Mr.. East had gone into the base
ment, attracted by rising steam, and
it is thought he may have turned the
cold water into the boiler. His con-
dition was such following the accident
that he could give no explanation.
His injuries seem to preclude little
possibility of his surviving.
