of the survivors, three life boats were
launched. The last one was but a
few feet from the wreck when the
Alaska. which had listed to starboard,
suddenly righted and then plunged,
bow first. :,

passenger and the captain were the
last men on the ship, came to the
surface a short time afterwards and
finally found an empty life boat.
Others were struggling in the water.

to Vancouver, was II miles distant
when the first IS. O. S." signals OF

at the wreck and with order that won
high praises from the survivors, the
crew Of the Anyox speedily picked up
those who were drifting in life pre-

yeloped in fog as the swells dashed
against it and threw spray from the
Jagged rocks of the reef, calmness
prevailed among the passengers ana
crew.

passengers were helped into the lie
hoats under calm direction OF Off
GERS and crew and they were low
cred into the water. :,
Captain Hobey's heroic work OF
l;fe-saying was of such thrilling
example that several men passen-
gers stayed by him and the women
and children were taken into the
boats first. The vessel finally lifted
and then righting itself, suddenly
plunged downward. An overturned
life boat shot many passengers into
the water, There was a hall an
hour OF bleak darkness with the iite
boats drifting in the blanket OF foo
before the siren Of the rescue steam
er Anyox was heard.

had been struggling in the water
or clinging to wreckage for hours
One of the last survivors pickee
up was little Irene Dyer, a girl no
vet in her teens, who had beer
ciinging to wreckage for more thar
eight hours.

Telegram.-Herbert Kennedy and
Ira Dowler Of Worden. ILL.,, are be-

Dakota Governor to
Test Validity Of All
Raises in Salaries

Pierre, S. d., Aug. 7,-Determined
to force the issue into the state SUE
premc court Immediately and settle
positively the constitutionality Of a
legislature, by its own enactment,
increasing the compensation of con-
stitutional officers. Governor w. H.
McMaster has directed a letter to
Attorney General Byron S. Payne,
calling upon him to bring action
against State Auditor Jay Reeves to
enjoin him from paying to any state
officer more than he is entitled to
as specifically enumerated in the
constitution.
This applies to the expense allow
ance of SIS monthly to constitutions
al officers, authorized by the legisla-
ture last winter. the SIS monthly
house rent paid the governor. the adj
ditional expense allowances given to
members of the supreme court, as
we'll as the expense allowances OF
the circuit court judges.
An interesting phase OF the case,
it is pointed out, is that both the
supreme court judges and the
judges of the circuit court are barred
from sitting in the case because of
their interests in its outcome. This
will necessitate the calling in OF at
torneys to occupy the state supreme
bench.

State Normal Schools
Ask for Relief Also

Lincoln, Aug. 7.-(Special State
normal schools are reported to be
demanding the same special dispen-
sstion asked by the university regents
against the new law which demands
that 10 per cent of the appropriations
granted by the legislature be set
aside as reserve fund for emer-
encies and thus endeavor to do
away with the hundreds of thousands
of dollars which state institutions
ask at each session to cover money
spent in excess Of their appropria-
tons. A statement by Governor Nc
Kclvie on his decision relative to the
normal school demands is expected

Find Two Skeletons on
Farm Near Plattsmouth

Plattsmouth,. Neb., Aug. 7.-(Spe-
cial. .)-While blowing cn the farm
of his father, John Kockal, north
west of Plattsmouth, Louie Koukal
unearthed two human skeletons, the
bones of which quickly pulverized
on being exposed to the air. One

of an adult and the other of child.
The formation of the skulls and the
apparent long time they have lain
buried leads to the belief the skele-
tons are those of Indians.

Parsee Race Dying Out.

A beggar among the Parsees Is un-
known In India, and would be a scan
DIAL to the sect. The sagacity, activity
and commercial enterprise Of the Par
sees are proverbial in the EAST, and
their credit as merchants Is almost
unlimited. Because of intermarriage
the race has dwindled down to $4,000,
and for some time there has been a
serious difference among the Parsees
on the question Of proselytism. A
Parsee married a French woman, who
took the necessary steps to adopt the
religion Of her husband. But 1t was
decreed by the high court Of India
that, though the creed Of Zoroaster
theoretically admitted proselytes,
their admission was not consistent
with the practice Of the Parsees In
India.

An earthquake that shook India not
so long ago was remarkable for the
curiously distorting effects 1t pro-
ouced upon standing objects. Similar

matter 1t Is described how this earth
quake twisted lofty monument at
Ohatak. The monument was an obe-
nsk OF brick. coated with plaster,
more than sixty feet tall and twelve
