 of Life Reported. l.'* <, V S':.. 3ji

Baltimore, Sept. 33l--IFhis sec |tion was visited by a terrific wind storm last night which caused heavy loss to the crops and dam- age to buildings. Communica- tion with many of the surround ing districts has been interrupt ed and when it is restored it is believed the total of deaths caus- ed by the storm will be heavy.
 An auto from the rural district arrived here bringing an aged woman to the hospital for treat lnent. When the storm struck their home the woman and her husband sought safety in the barn, fearing that the house would be lifted from it's founda- tion.
 The barn collapsed shortly af- fer their entrance, killing the man instantly and severely in- turing the woman. Automobiles are being used to reach the out living districts to afford relief and it was through their efforts the woman was discovered and rushed to the hospital.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 23.--Brit- ain, Germany and France have formed compact to keep China from being dismembered and have Jointly notified Jaan that if she was going to land troops at Ranking they would do the same.
 The powers fear that Japal; may land troops under the guisc Lf protecting it's citizens and to force China to pay the indemni- ty demanded for the loss of life of Japanese during the rebellion in China. Should Japan gain a foothold in China without pro- test from the European nations she would be slow to withdraw her troops and would declare war with China. She has been accused of imstigating the rebel lion in the Chinese republic in order that she might have an eX- cuse to land troops and ultimate ly secure large strip of terri tory in lieu of a cash indemnity.
 The European nations have been watching the Japs and are prepared to make concerted ac- ton to keep China intact as the only means of preventing a war which would result in changing the map of the world.

 placer discovery recently made in the Tasnuna districts:
 "What mas the carmarks of another great placer gold field has been, revealed by a recent discovery on Alfred creek, a lrib- ulary of Caribou creek, which in turn flows into Knik arm at GIa- cicr point. Coarse gold has been found. the largest nugget up to date having a value of SS.6O
 Thrcc and four dollar nuggets $ are common and the smaller par ticIeS saved in sluicing are four and five cent pieces. While finer gold exists, the diScoverer is working with but one sluice box, which accounts for the saving of only he c.narser nuggets.

Low rolling hills, indicating an erosion winch has formed the placers, are characteristic of the country. There is a scarcity of timber in the immediate region of the strike. Water is in plen- ty.
 Alfred creek was discovered late in July by an Old-time pros
 pector, Duncan McCorInack by name. He kept the strike quiet until he had convinced himself i of it's possibilities. He then set out for Knik, the nearest settle ment, taking with him quantity hf gold dust, the amount of which cannot be learned. He told tw9 fEiends--Joe Palmer and Ed.

Mrs. Thaw Uses Medium of Press to Reach All Who Have -
 Written Her.

Johnstown, Sept. 23.--Mrs. Thaw, the mother of Harry K. Thaw, through the medium of the press, has thanked the thou sands of sympathetic persons who have written her expressing the hope that her son would re- gain his freedom. Mrs. Thaw has received an enormous num- Der of letters from men and wo- men, in all parts of America and Canada who glory in his escape from the asylum and the fight which is being made to keep him from being returned to the state of New York.
 Mrs. Thaw'S letter is a digni- fled one but is pathetic when the story of her life is known. The father ut the young man was fond of company and was sell dom at home during the latter years of his life and the duty of raising the children fell to the mother alone. It is the old story of children being raised in luxury and permitted to follow their own inclinations without restrain. The reader of the let ter cannot help but realize that if the mother has made mis- takes in the upbrineing of her son she has paid dearly for her fault.

COLORADO HAS VAST
SUPPLY OF RADIUM
Denver Man Thinks He Has Solved the
Problem of Extracting It
Cheaply.

Denver, May l6.-That the radium
markets of the world will ultimately
depend upon Denver, Colorado, for their
supply of the most precious metal in
existence, was the declaration made
here today by Rev. A. w. Forstall, S.
D., who occupies the chair of chemistry
at the Sacred Heart college, and one of
The most prominent American scientists
who have specialized in the study of
1adium. 1t is the belief of Rev. For
stall that the so-called radium fields at
Montrose, San Miguel and the south
western Colorado counties hold untold
wealth in radium. The great question,
said Father Forstall today, is to devise
some method of extracting the metal
and preparing it for marketing at 100
per cent less outlay than is now neces.
sary. He believes he has solved this
problem and shortly will publish full
details of his proposed plan.
The Jesuit priest has worked for
years in mis- little laboratory out in the
college buildings. There is something
of the ancient alchemist in his appear.
ance and all the enthusiasm of one in
his eyes. He believes that upon re-
duced carnotite the world will depend
for its radium supply Carnotite is
lower in radium content than pitch.
blend, from which nearly all the radi.
um supply is secured today, but the car
notite is more easily reduced and much
more plentiful. Pitchblend is found in
exceedingly small quantities in Europe,
mostly in Austria, Carnotite is found
in comparative abundance in southeast
ern Colorado.
Heretofore almost prohibitive rates
have been paid to ship great masses of
earnotite to Europe to have the radium
extracted. Father Forstall believes he
has the right plan to extract the radio.
active sulphates from the carnotite be.
fore the stuff is sent to be relieved of
its precious radium.
81 cannot give out anything now"
said Father Forstall today, "but hope
soon to have the correct solution. L
know ! am on the right track. for doz-
ems of experiments have made in the
past year have turned out successfully,
! am naturally compelled to experiment
with very small portions of the ores in
which radioactive sulphates are found
and of course, this makes it absolutely
necessary for me to make many more
experiments and then work out gen.
eral average.

A SWEET FROM THE PAST.

Whistles, a sweet which must
have been great dainty In the
days when 1t was first concoct-
I'D, are made, according to an an
Client recipe, In the following
manner:
Cream half pound Of sugar
and a quarter pound Of butter
and beat six eggs, yolks and
whites separately. Add the eggs
to the creamed sugar and butter
and then add enough 1our to
make a thick batter. In the old
days rosewater was considered
delicate and delicious flavor
ing, but vanilla might suit the
modern palate better. Anyway,
add some havorlng.
Butter a sheet Of paper and
spread on a molding or bread
board. Drop the batter with n
tablespoonful at intervals of
three or four inches on the pa
per, spreading each drop out
thin. Bake 1t in a hot oven for
about FIVE minutes, when 1t
should be slightly Drowned;
then slip the little cakes on
molding board sprlnkled with
sugar and quickly roll them
about a stick. When they are
cold ill them with Jelly or jam.

New York to shut up the guides and
furnished him with large amount OF
money. The agent made sorry boten
of his job and the guides stood pat on
their story, despite threats of criminal
libel suits and Jail.
Partially Suppresses News.
In addition to trying to head off the
guides, the agent sought to head off
the truth of the situation on the wires.
He succeeded only partially and secur-
ed favorable reports over the Associat-
ed Press. Two special correspondents,
who would be classed as "yellow jour
nalists" by people of the Cook stripe,
one of whom is now employed by the
Capital Journal, saw that nothing was
overlooked in the way of a wire story
that would expose the faker.
Finally Cook was so hard pressed
that he decided, foolishly, as it after.
ward developed, to face the guides at
Hamilton, Montana. Ilc had secured
affidavits that the guides were untruth-
full, that they had told other stories
concerning the Mt. Mckinley trip and
that they were sore because they had
not been paid. But the corroborative
evidence was so strong that the guides
story carried weight and Cook proposed
to bluff them down.
Makes Pitiful Showing.
Cook came to Missoula and from
there went to Hamilton, where he told
in a theatre, of his trip to the pole to
Bitter Root people and number of
prominent citizens of Missoula. He
got along all right until he started in
to deny statements of the guides re-
garding the Mt. Mckinley trip. They
were both in the audience and arose
and cOntradicted him. Then Cook s
valor deserted him and he retreated
from the stage and made an effort to
escape through side door. 1t was
locked and former Senator Joseph Dix
on finally forced him back on the stage
telling him he was a coward to quit at
The critical stage of the game. Cook
finally came back on the stage, but his
q
attitude convinced practically every
one that he was not telling the truth.
He left the next day for New York,
thoroughly discredited, and spent
month preparing his records. The Mis-
'oula correspondent of the Associated
Press went to New York and helped |
him get them ready. How Cook fled
rom New York, was repudiatedNby the
Danish Geographical society and be.
