Trains Hurrying to District
Fernie Calls for Guns and
Leg Irons.
Vancouver, I;. C, Aug. 4. This city
awoke to a full sense of the complete
ness of the destruction around Fernie
Monday. According to a competent
authority, the loss will exceed $10,
000,000 and the death list total will
never he known. It is now believed
that at least 200 have perished.
Vancouver wired $5,000 for relief
aiid a train load of supplies went out.
Winnipeg has dispatched a special
train with nurses, ductors, hospital
etores and provisicnis.
Loggers to the number of SO in the
lamps of the Elk Lumber company
Have perished in the flames, and sev
eral settlers with their families who
lived on the line of railroad between
Fernie and Michel have disappeared.
The death total will probably grow
larger and a special dispatch from
Winnipeg declares that it will reach
400.
Prisoners Freed and Retaken.
When the flames were consuming
Fernie all the prisoners, with the ex
ception of five blackhand suspects,
were released. Later they were re
captured and sent to Nelson.
Crowds of refugees have also ar
rived at Nelson, the overflow from
Cranbrook. These are being cared for
as much as possible, but their condi
tion is pitiable. In their flight they
brought nothing away but the clothes
they had on.
A telegram from Editor Sampson of
the Cranbrook Herald says: "All help
needed quickly or worse will follow."
No list of the dead has yet been re
ceived in Vancouver.
Help from Many Cities.
Nelson, II. C. Aug. 4. It is esti
mated that the number of dead as the
result of the great fires will reach
"200, and the property loss is placed at
fl0.000.000. The exact number of fa
talities may never be known.
Supplies of food and clothing are
being rushed to the stricken regions
from Vancouver, Nelson, Cranbrook
nd Michel. The fireB near Hosmer,
Michel and Cranbrook, which threat
ened each of these towns, have appar
ently been checked.
The latest news received at Michel
places the number of dead at Fernie
at 102, with 64 others burned in a log
ging camp at Elk river. An unofficial
6tatement said to have come from
Fernie places the official list of dead
at Fernie and surrounding camps at
175, with the property loss at $8,000,
000. Spokane Quick to Send Relief.
Spokane, Wash., Aug. 4. Relief
from Spokane was the first to reach
the fire region of Fernie. Over 2,000
are being cared for at Cranbrook and
the first car sent out by Spokane citi
tens arrived there Monday morning.
A special car loaded with tents, cloth
ing, 3,000 loaves of bread, 150 gallons
of milk and other foodstuffs left Mon
day afternoon.
At a mass meeting of citizens over
$15,000 was subscribed in half an
hour.
For the present the supplies will be
Bent to Cranbrook for distribution.
At that place are gathered women and
-children who will have to be cared
"for during the next ten days.' Other
cities of the northwest are sending aid
and the famine situation is rapidly
being relieved. Nearly all of the ref
ugees are reported to be destitute.
That the Slavs at Fernie are making
trouble is feared. The last request
from Fernie to Cranbrook was for all
the guns and leg irons that could be
ent immediately. Provincial officials
have taken charge and a special left
Cranbrook Monday afternoon with all
the guns that could be secured in that
City.
Tents and Blanket for Victims.
Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 4. Sir Wilfrid

the telegram asking for federal assist
ance, stating that Gen. MacDonald,
Quartermaster general, had been in
structed to place all tents and mili
tary blankets belonging to the militia
department in British Columbia at the

I tell you I Wiis mail; I knew
That minister would Ket it.
And so I took that cake and ran.
And all alone I et it!
Tipsy Cake.
This is a favorite English dessert,
and is a happy medium between cake
and pudding. It needs no cream in
serving. Take plain sponge cake and
stick it full of almonds; pour over it
as much white wine as it will absorb;
put it in a deep dish and let stand
one hour. Make a soft custard and
pour over the whole. This is good
made of cookies or "cup-cakes," and
served individually.
Stuffed Beefsteak.
This is as nice for dinner as an ex
pensive roast, and can be prepared
from the eheaper cuts flank or round.
Pound it well, season with plenty of
salt and pepper; then roll it up, with a
niee dressing of bread crumbs and
egg. Tie it closely with twine; skew
er two or three slices of salt pork on
top add a very little water, place in
the oven and bake. Baste frequent
ly, and if it browns too rapidly, cover
with a dripping pan. This is very good
sliced cold.
HOMELY GOSSIP.
Onions keep best spread carelessly
out on the floor.
To keep lemons, cover with cold wa
ter, changing it often. This makes
the lemons more juicy, and they will
not spoil within a reasonable time.
Apples or potatoes should be kept
on open, easily accessible shelves, so
that the decaying ones may be at once
disposed of. In this way the good
ones may be saved from contamina
tion. To the woman who makes her own
soap, it may be well to say that fat
for soap grease should never be put
away until it has been thoroughly
fried. Soap should boil from the side,
and not; from the middle, as it Is then
the less likely to boil over. Soft soap
should be kept in a dry, cool place,
and is better if allowed to stand two
or three months before using.

campaign speech from the back of a
car platform or from a front porch,
Mr. Taft Monday found Mrs. Taft
lauiihing at him as he was doing a bit
of rehearsing for the real records.
Seveial experimental talks were
made and reproduced, with varying
degrees of satisfaction. The speeches
which a single record will hold aver
age about 3G0 words in length. The
topics to be discussed for repetition
in this way have not yet been decided
upon. As an example of what the ma

A Fine Service
The home of John Meisinger, jr., sev
eral miles west or the city was the
scene yesterday of one of the sweetest
christenings ever held in, that settle
ments. The little one who was christen
ed by Rev. Fred Spriegel of the Ger
man Lutheran Church, was named Mil
dred Sarah, being named Mildred after
Mrs. F. G. Morgan of this city who was
god-mother to the child and Sarah after
the mother of Mrs. Meisinger.
The ceremony was attended by Mr.
and Mrs. Jacob Meisinger the grand
parents of the child, Otto Sprieck and
wife and family,Miss Sophia Meisinger,
Miss Magdalena Spreigel, Miss Martha
Sprague and Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Mor
gan. .
After the ceremonies the party sat
down to a feast which had been pre
pared by Mrs. Meisinger and which was
such that words would not do it justice.
The table literally shook beneath the
choice viands which Mrs. Meisinger had
prepared and the guest found themselves
in serious danger from the overstock of
good things which were set before them.
Those who had the honor of participat
ing in this meal found it one never to
be forgotten as the best they had ever
eaten. Mr. and Mrs. Morgan who drove
out from this city returned in the even
ing thoroughly pleased at the pretty
event they had been participants in.
Commendable Enterprise.
From the Louisville Courier, the Jour
nal learns that the citizens of that en
terprising city have raised $10,000 with
which to replace the wagon bridge
across tha Platte river to Sarpy county.
While they havo been making desperate
efforts to stir the commissioners of the
two counties up to doing something to
ward putting this bridge back in shape
for traffic, their efforts have not borne
fruit and they are tired of waiting for
action. Their action is getting together
and raising almost enough to rebuild
the bridge in a short space of time is
most commendable. The remainder of
the amount necessary to be raised will
doubtless be secured in a very short
time and the bridge completed.
In County Court.
In County Court today A. N. Sullivan,
representing Wm. II. Johnson, filed a
petition asking for a special aministra
tor for the estate of Samuel S. Johnson,
deceased. This is the contested will
case from Elmwood of which consider
able has been heard heretofore. Th
petition recites that the major portion
oi samuei t. Johnson s estate was left
to one Edwin Jeary, attorney and ban ir .
er of Elmwood. That Jeary had secur
ed the execution of the will of Johnson
by undue influence and fraud and that
he had large amounts of bank stock and
other personal property of decease
which he concealed. The value of the
estate is placed at from $100,000 to
$150, 000. That if the alleged will is
set aside, petitioner fears Jeary would
appeal the case and no one would be '
authorized to collect and care for tha
goods of deceasad. Therefore a special
administrator is asked for, Chas C
Parmele is suggested as a proper per-'
son to have charge of the estate. Nv
date has been set for the hearing.
