SAMPLES PROVE DANGEROUS.
Child Eats Patent Medicine, Think
ing II Candy.

Distribution of patent medicine
samples has resulted in another mar
row escape from death in this city,
says the Mail Tribune. Saturday
night Inez Brady, a granddaughter
of Louis He'll, picked up some medi-
cine samples of de Whites Kidney
and Bladder Pills and Kodal Dyspep-
tic Tablets" and thinking them can
dy, owing to their sugar coating, ate
most of them. The little girl was
seriously i'll for a time. but after
heroic methods had been employed
by Dr.. f. H. Porter, who was called,
she was saved. The samples were
distributed from mouse to house.
The case was brought to the atten-
tion of the city authorities Monday
and Mayor Canon has instructed the
city attorney to prepare an ordinance
which will make it an offense to dis
tribute such samples. Several states
have legislated against the practice,
making such distribution a peniten-
tiary cffense.

Mrs. Frank II. Dickey.

Cora Alice McCulloch was born in
Grapevine, Texas, October II, 1870.
Departed this life in Ashland, Ore,
June 80, 1912. Aged Al years, s
months, 13 days.
Miss McCullOch came to Oregon in
1893, and to Ashland in 1898. This
city has been here home since then.
She was married to Frank r. Dickey
at Jacksonville, on October 23, 1904.
The happy couple went Immediately
to their home in Roseburg, a few
years later coming to Ashland.
When but child the deceased was
left an orphan, and the big future
was before her in which to mould
her life and character. She was
woman of rare culture and grace of
refinement Winsome in her man
ners, kind in her disposition. Her
home was her throne; she was the
queen to her husband and her
friends.
She leaves her husband, and one
brother in Caldwell, Idaho, to mourn
her loss. The body was shipped on
No. IA for Portland, where interment
will take place.
Mrs. Dickey united with the Con-
gregational church of this city few
years ago, and was a regular attend
ant upon the services of the church
and an exemplary Christian The
! funeral services were private, only a
! few of the most intimate friends be-
ing invited in to the last sad rites
Rev. w. A. Schwimley, pastor of the
deceased, spoke a few words based
upon She openeth her mouth with
wisdom; and the law of kindness is
on her tongue But a
woman that fesreth the Lord she
shall be praised. Give her of the
fruit of her hands and let ner works
praise her in the gates"
We are all better for having known
such good woman as Mrs. Dickey.
An entire community joins with the
bereaved husband in his sorrow.

DIRICIBLE IS WRECKED
Five Lives Snuffed Out When Great
Airship EXplodes-Was to Have
Crossed the Atlantic.

Atlantic City, n. j., July 3.-Mrs.
Melvin Vaniman and the wives of
the three members of the dirigible
balloon Akron's crew, standing on
the veranda of the Vaniman cottage
near Brigantine Beach, early yester-
day, saw the great dirigible explode
and then dart down from mid-air,
carrying their husbands to death in
nine feet of water in about a second.
The women screamed and covered
their faces and Mrs. Vaniman tainted.
but all shortly recovered and rushed
with 200 other spectators toward
the place where the balloon fell, kill
ing Vaniman and four others.
Accident is Described.
As the mighty dirigible plunged
downward a body was seen to detach
itself from the blazing mass and fall
into the water fifty feet from where
the balloon fell. 1t was recovered
by Councilman Harry Cook and A. T.
Bell, who put out in a motorboat,
and was identified as that of Calvin
Vaniman, brother of Melvin. The
center dynamo and the burned body
showed the explosion must have been
directly opposite the middle of the
car
William Hill, L. S. revenue officer,
who saw the accident, said:
I'VE were watching the big ship
closely, remarking upon the beautiful
spectacle, the morning sun making
the huge bag glisten like gold, when
| noticed a whirl of smoke at the
stern. | remember glancing at my
watch and noting that it was exactly
6:42. The ship was between zoo
and 500 feet up, in my estimation.
Ship Staggers in Mid-Air.
THE smoke gained in volume and
the ship seemed to stagger. The
smoke continued to increase for q
minute or two, running apparently
the whole length of the engine room
| beneath the great bag, and then there
was frightful concussion like the
firing of great gun.
The next instant the ship ap
peared to be a great mass of flame
1t seemed to me that the stern had
been entirely blown out. Then | saw
the whole thing was tumbling dowr
to the sea and closed my eyes"
1t was in this great air craft tha
Vaniman expected to cross the Allan
tic.
