There appears a surprising
lack of musical culture in these
p;rts. Lew Addey, formerly
first cornetist in the Valley
band, has found it impossible,
because of absence of patron
age, to maintain the studio he
opened a month ago over Gin
giles -four and feed store. Mr..
Addey has closed the studio,
ard with reluctance, inasmuch
as he felt there was a great
field here for endeavor along
the lines he chose to pursue.
The gifted musician will remain
with us until spring, when he
expects to accept one of several
attractive offers he has receiv-
ed from circus arrangements to
affiliate with their band organ

DOCTOR is SUICIDE.
Resident of MedfOrd Driven BY Pain
to End Life.

Driven into temporary insanity by
acute stomach trouble, DR.. Charles
H. Dennison. who has resided at
1923 West Main street during the
past three years, shot and instantly
killed himself in room he had just
secured at the Hotel Moore. The
action was premeditated, as he had
just purchased the revolver with
which he ended his life. He placed
the barrel of the gun in his mouth,
the bullet emerging just behind his
right ear.
For some time DIR. Denniston has
been ill, suffering great pain. Re-
Gently he tried fasting in order to
relieve the pain, but was not success
ful. He complained to a number of
friends that he was in very bad
condition. A short time before the
tragedy he walked into the Garnett-
Corey hardware store and inquired
concerning revolvers. Leaving the
GaGrnett-Corey store, DR.. Denniston
went to Humphreys gun store and
purchased .3S revolver. He then
walked across Main street to the
Moore hotel and asked for a room.
He registered as j. Jameson of Chi
cago.
Shortly after he had reached his
room shot was heard by the at
taches of the hotel. They rushed to
his room, but the door was locked.
Looking in over the transom, the
doctor was seen stretched across the
bed, dead. The police were sum-
moned, who soon gained entrance to
the room.
Death had evidently been instan-
taneous, as the body had simply fall
len backward on the bed There
was no struggle. He had evidently
removed all papers which would tend
to identify him, as no letters were
found, only check book, without a
name. A pocketbook with some
change in it was found.

GLACIER BREAKS.
Natural Dam Goes Out and Lake
Empties Itself.

Seattle, Wash.-Miles Glacier, the
gigantic river of ice known as one
of the northland's greatest natural
marvels. suddenly writhed a week
ago. spilling a great lake that stood
between its face and the line of the
Copper River Railway with such
force that a devastating flood was
sent down upon the track and
bridges of the railroad line. The
damage that resulted necessitated
shutting down of through travel over
the line, and the flood. indirectly,
was the cause of the death of B.
Boyle, bridge repair crew foreman
Advices cabled here do not relate
the full extent of the damages.
According to the cables, the lake
leaped across the short intervening
space between it and the Copper
river with such speed and in such
quantity that the river almost imme-
diately was raised IL feet. This
wall of water tore down the steep
descent with fearful force and when
it reached the big wooden bridge at
Flag Point swept out the giant bents
in the bridge construction as if they
were kindling.
No attempt is made to explain the
unexpected action of the glacier. but
it is believed it was caused by cleav-
ages in the vast ice field, which
opened when cracked by the violent
earthquake which rocked that part
of Alaska in July. At that time,
persons who were miles away could
hear the glacier ice cracking and
groaning, the din resembling that of
heavy and long-continued cannonad-
ing on a distant battlefield.
The theory is that the lake, great
body of water drained from the gla-
cier, had been damaged by a wall
formed in ages past of a part of the
glacier driven far down towards the
railway line and that this natural
dam was weakened through breaks
caused by the July shocks 1t is
reasonable to believe that the August
thaw and raising of the lake level
put the natural dam to a strain
greater than it could bear.
