SPREAD TERROR IN ALASKA
Earthquake Shocks, Though Little
Damage Is Reported, Were Cause
of Intense Alarm.

The most violent upheavals of the
earth's surface since the terrible
earthquake which destroyed San Fran
cisco are those which took place in
Alaska on July g. The earth rocked
continuously for 40 seconds, and al
though the disturbance Is not reported
10 have caused much loss of life,
it has filled the people with terror.
Following so quickly after the erup-
ton Of Mt. Katmai, in the Kadiak
island, which covered the whole island
with foot of volcanic ash, the earth
quake is supposed to have been the
result, and damage and ruin of the
most far-reaching nature are among
the dread forebodings.
The bottom Of the sea is also re-
ported to have been considerably ele-
waited, seriously affecting the climate
of the Alaskan coast through shifting
the warm ocean currents, and also
creating new fishing banks which may
become of inestimable value
Some geological experts believe that
the eventual closing of the Bering
straits is among the possibilities. After
this, perhaps, one may travel all rail
from Halifax, N. s., to Lisbon, Por-
tugal, by way of Canada, Alaska, ST,
IBERIA, Germany, Spain. etc.

By the time he was at liberty, it
was the dinner hour. When Miss
Grayson came into the dining-room,
she gave him an odd look, and rath-

her meal before he had left the room.
AS he came out he gladly welcomed
his uncle who had returned.
We'll, Fred, how did you make it?''
Fine! Uncle, don't you want me to
remain couple of weeks and help
you out?"
Indeed I do! I thought your love

Then introduce me to her and ex-

Together they approached the two
women.
Mrs. Benson" said the elder physi-
clan, let me present my nephew, DR..
Frederick Morgan. 1 left him in
charge today as l was called out of
the city"
She in turn presented Miss Grayson
and then announced her intention of
dining. She was accompanied by the
older doctor, and Morgan slipped into
the vacated chair.
'EThe stethoscope is a wonderful in
strument," he said gravely. I'm that
half moment l listened to your heart,
1 learned that you jumped too readily
to conclusions.
Il didn't need a stethoscope," she
smiled demurely, ito tell me that you
did the same. Think how you mis-
took me for a patient"
1--WE are certainly quits" he laughed.
Then, as the notes of a waltz fioated
out from the wide hall, he continued
'The stethoscope told me something
more-that you were fond of dancing.
And l am to be here two weeks and
help my uncle. Tomorrow, you may
bring your aunt to the office. But,
come! Can you resist that music!"

spine and under the stomach are in
tested with animal lice Lice prevents
growth and weakens the strength Of
the animal Give each one a good
washing with warm water and car
bolic soap. Use a good, stiff brush to
cleanse the skin. Take time so that
thorough work can be done; wipe dry,
then rub in crude petroleum One
application, if the work is well done,
will be sufficient.
Strong cider vinegar may be used
in place of the petroleum. Crude
petroleum can be had for IL cents per
gallon 1t is valuable for healing cuts
and sores on stock. The same treat
ment should be given to sows and
pigs.
Lice hatch in the woodwork Of
stables and pens. Give the stable a
thick coat of hot lime wash; mix one
ounce of carbolic acid in each bucket
of wash. Get the wash well into the
cracks. Clean out the pen and dust
the floor Of the pen and also the yard
with dry air-slacked lime.
Hogs and pigs should have a grass
pasture with low shed to go under
at night and during hot days. # you

plenty of clover and freshly made mill
fed slop mixing one handful of lin
seed meal in the slop once or twice
a week. Give fresh, pure water and

STREETCAR FARES REDUCED
Railroad Commiss on Renders Dec-
sion Against the Milwaukee Light,
Heat and Power Company.

Madison.-The state railroad COM
mission has handed down decision
in cases against the Milwaukee Elec-
trio Railway and Light company and
issued an order to become effective
September %, fixing fares and other
wise regulating the company's trac-
ton service in the city of Milwau-
kee and to adjacent towns.
The order prescribes that thirteen
single fare tickets shall be sold for
fifty cents after September % and
that but a single fare shall be charg-
ed between Milwaukee and the towns
of West Allis, Wauwatosa and East
Milwaukee. Extensions of the sin
gle fare zone from the corporate
limits to the terminals of various
lines are also ordered. The petition
for universal double transfer was
dismissed as impracticable as was
the application for reduced fares to
Waukesha.
Officials of the Milwaukee traction
company announce that an appeal
may be taken from the commission s
rulings, but the orders go into effect
regardless of such appeal and remain
unless set aside by the courts.
The state industrial commission's
recommendation for increased wages
for motormen and conductors was
affirmed by the railroad commission.

semi-unconscious condition for
hours, Bishop Charles Chapman
Grafton, we'll known churchman and

asked to be placed in his wheel
chair, which he has occupied much

ton, however, is critical, and the end
is only a question of days. Cable
grams have been sent to relatives
abroad advising them Of his condi-
ton. Bishop Grafton's turn for the
worse followed a steady improvement
covering a period of some weeks,
which lad led him to discuss plans
for a thanksgiving celebration to be
held in September

The cause of this trouble is usually
an abrupt change OF feed, either of
the mother or of the pigs An ex-
elusive diet of alfalfa is responsible
for some of the intestinal irritation,
shown by a watery green diarrhoea APP
pearing a few days after feeding upon
alfalfa Most animals recover after
several days purging, but succumb
from weakness. Another source of
the trouble is dirty, unsanitary sur
roundings with stagnant water for
drinking purposes.
Treatment naturally should consist
of change Of the conditions so far
az possible. A change Of feed should
be given gradually, and in alfalfa
feeding a little grain is indicated un-
til the little pigs become accustomed
to the alfalfa ration.

Dismiss Former Badger Pastor.

Eagle River.-According to the
current issue of the Southern Church
man published at Richmond, Va,
Rev. w. H. Jurney, Jr, formerly rec
tor of the st. Ignatius Episcopal
church at Eagle River, has been dis
missed from the staff of st. Paul's
church at Brooklyn because of his
Romanistic tendencies
Having been in the church for only
a few years and only a few months
at this charge, says the Churchman,
this action can only be taken as a
personal one, which does not in any
way involve the parish in which he
was serving.
Mr.. Jurney came to Brooklyn di-
rect from the charge at Eagle River
He was ordained by Bishop Weller in
1910.
