YEGGS WRECK
SAFE, BUT GET

USE NITRO-GLYCERINE TO
ENTER SAFE OF ORIOLE
CANDY COMPANY.


A fruitless attempt was made
this morning between the hours
of and o'clock to blow open
the safe at the Oriole Candy COM
pany, 307 East 2Sth street. The
yeggmen after prying into the
building, placed their nitro-gly-
cerine, the explosion of which
tore away the outside door, tore
up the safe to a considerable ex-
tent, but did not break away the
inside door. Had this been ac-
complished their work would
have been in vain for the safe was
empty.
The yeggs made their depart
ture and no clue as to their pres
ent location is known. In their
hurry they left their tools behind
which are now in the hands of the
police.

NeIs Gustaf Johnson

Last Thursday morning the people of Douglas Island were shocked to learn that Nels 6. Johnson, foreman of the Ready Bullion mine, was dead. Leaving bis home at the usual hour that morning, he made his way toward the mine. Arriving at the Bullion mill, he went inside and clim bed the steps to the ore bunkers and there sat down to rest. Death probably came quickly and without warning, for when found only few moments later by Foreman Stoody, he was past all earthly help. Some months ago he suffered an at tack which was attributed to disease of the beart, and took long rest. Lately he had been feeling almost well again and bis friends hoped the robust constitution had conquered the weak ness. The body was taken to the morgue and sorrowiug friends went to bear the sad news to the loving wife.
 Funeral services were held at the Congregational church Sunday after noon at 3 o'clock. Pastor o. B. Whit more and Rev J. H. Warmanen, of the Lutheran church, odiciated. The Knights of Pythias, Alaska Labor Union and Treadwell fire department attend ed in body, besides hundreds of citi- zens who had known and honored the deceased. Rev. Whitmore spoke of the high character of the departed and his noble disposition. Rev. Warmanen spoke in the Swedish language. The music by the church choir was beauti- ful and impressive. After the service the procession slowly wended it's way to the Douglas cemetery, where Merl F. Thomas, prelate of the Pythian lodge, read the burial service of the or der, and Rev. Warmanen closed with a prayer. There were numerous floral offerings.
 Nels Gustaf Johnson was born at Korsgarden, Shovde, Sweden. He died at Treadwell, Alaska, at the age of 43 years, l month and 23 days. He is sur vived by wife and three children, two boys and girl. He also had three sis ters living in the States and mother and two brothers in Sweden. He was a member for many years of North Star Lodge No. ?, K. of P, in which organi. zation he held the degree of Past Chan cellor. He was also an honored mem- Der of the Alaska Labor Union and the Treadwell fire department.
 Nels Johnson is gone. Never again will we look into his honest face. A loving husband and father, a noble and brave man. His memory will ever be blest with thoughts of his virtues that will ever live without spot or blemish'

Col. Archibald Oracle

Col. Archibald Oracle, U. s. A, who
was a passenger on the Titanic, jump
ed from the bow of the great liner as
she took her fatal plunge, and came
to the surface just as a collapsible
canvas raft was floating by. With a
companion in the water he rescued a
score Of seamen.
Col Oracle had Just completed in
England a diplomatic history Of the
events in connection with the war Of
1872, and mourns the loss Of the
manuscript, Of which there was no
duplicate
In relating the story Of his escape
in current magazine Col. Oracle tells
how he plunged from the Titanic and
finally, with a number Of other men.
boarded a boat which had been float
ing upside down. When the COM
plement of men was about thirty he
says, I'VE could not take a single one
more on the boat. If we had, It
would have collapsed. The men
struggling in the water appealed for
help, but we had to explain TO them
that to assist one would be to destroy
US all. An unknown hero to whom
we so explained said Alright, boys:
goodbye and God bless your
"Au night long we Icy upon this
boat, the water frequently up to our
waists. The Lords prayer was re-
by us all Towards dawn, in order to
be seen better, we all stood up IN
column fashion two deep, and f-e-
quently shouted for help. But for
anyone to have turned about to look
back at that time would have meant
almost certain destruction"
At dawn, when the boat to which
Col. Oracle and his companions were
clinging. was about to sink, the party
was picked up by two Of the Carpa-
thia's lifeboats.
After long hours of suffering in the
cold" continues Col. Oracle, I at last
was rowed with the rest to the shell
tering arms Of the hospitable Carpa =
thia. Up the sides the women were
lifted. and I clambered up a rope"

man ESCAPES DANGER

A narrow escape from being run
over by a train or automobile gives a
sense Of danger easily realized. James
Allen of Brooklyn was in a danger
just as perilous, and he escaped by
knowing what to do.
In letter he says: 81 had been In
poor health for three years and might
have been yet If II had not been for
Vinol which built me up wonderfully.
Almost Immediately after I began talk
ing It I began TO improve and gain
weight My appetite is now good, I
sleep we'll and feel as we'll as 1 ever
did"
Hundreds Of WORKOUT, miserable
people right around here who are in
broken health and think there is no
help for them, could be built up and
made strong by Vinol, our delicious
cod liver and iron remedy without oil.
Weak, sicllly women and men, puny
children and feeble old people need
the new strength and vitality that
Vinol gives, and they ought % begin
taking It right now. We guarantee
vfnol to give satisfaction, and pay
back your money If IL does not.

At the Biiou.

That Raphael S. Drotty, the new
singer at the Bijou theatre, is gaining
in popularity with the patrons Of that
wide-awake motion picture house Is
evidenced by the intense enthusiasm
with which he is greeted at every per-
Torrance.
Mr.. Drott Is a singer OF no small
ability. He has a clear rich tenor voice
with a range that is unusual. So pop
ular has he become since his first APP
pearance here that he has had numer-
Gus requests to sing in the choirs OF
several local churches. Choir work /;
not new to the Lyric tenor. For sew
eral years he was engaged as a choir
soloist in some OF the most prominent
churches Of the city Of Chicago and
he has also appeared before the con-
gIegations of numerous other churches
in cities throughout the country in
which he has appeared.
Today Mr.. Dotty is scheduled to stne
one of his most popular songs. He
has not announced the name OF his
selection for today as it is his inten-
ton to give the patrons OF the Bijou
most pleasant surprise at each per-
formance both this afteronon and to-
