The first drowning in Salt creek occurred at 3 o'clock this afternoon when Charles Whistler sank beneath the flood which is the highest for five years. The gasoline launch In which he and three other men were attempting to cross 'the stream got beeyond his control and waa rapiddly carried away. The men sought to turn the craft into the shallower waters of Uie overflow, but becoming entangled In a fringe of willows were dashed against a bridge. The water was flowing even with the latter and the shock overturned the boat. His three com pan lore gaind safety by seising the iron supports of the struc ture, but Whistler failed. He passed be neath the bridge and over the dam of the Jewell flouring mill, a hundred yards be low. His body was seen once or twice in ike boiling torrent and then vanished. The ! tragedy occurred in the sight of many spectators who had been drawn by the j uuiisual sight of the flood and who were unable to extend Inm aid. Searching parties are endeavoring to lo I cats the body, bat owing to the speed of the current and the great extent of water little hope is entertained that It will be found. Mr. Whistler was 12 years old, 'a native of Ashlsnd, a prominent member of social and business circles, a graduate of the University of Iowa and a prominent mem ber of the state dental society.

They were of all varieties, but they all had woe. all had sorrow, contentious, babbling; some had wounds without cause; some had redness of eyes: some had trembling hands. Ben Gating had been so steeped In wine that he did not awaken when he was thrown out of a house and struck his head against a tree. He had a wound without cause. The two Nelson brothers.

It is easy to quit coffee when you have cuoice, well- j made Potum, a delicious hot beverage with the deep seal 1 brown of strong coffee that changes to a rich golden brown when cream -is added. Then you have the crisp coffee "snap" and a flavour all its own.
