PUNISHMENT Social progress' has done away with a gTpat-many forms of punishment once . administered under the laws of enlight ened people. But nature never changes or modifies her penalties. She still has me same punisn ment for the man who neglects or abuses his stomach as sberhad in the far off days "when Adam delved and Eve span." The- physical dis comfort, dullness, sluggishness, irri tability, nervous ness and sleepless ness which are visited upon the man who eats-eare-lessly or irregularly have been from the beginning the evi dences of disease of the stomach and its associated organs of digestion and nu- 1 tntion. - 1 Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery cures the diseased stomach and enables the perfect digestion and -assimilation of food, so that the sluggishness, irritability, nervousness and sleeplessness which result from innutri tion are cured also.

Ileaaea WereCraeate Like Ecc-SheUe Eighteen Wen laisrlMBd a a Miss fcy tlie ValeaaleOktraeUoa. Vaxoocteb, B. C. Aprils. Over whelmed by counties torn of rock, this morning short! j after 4 o'clock, and with probably 112 of its inhabitants killed almost insUntlythe little mining town of Frank, in Southwestern Al berta, is threatened with complete de struction by flood to-night. Old Man's river, which flows through the centre of the town, is dammed op by the fall ing rocks to the height of nearly 100 feet and the entire valley above the town is flooded for miles. A big body of water is pressing with force upon the dam, the only protection the town of Frank now has, unless the river shall find another channel. Should the im promptu dam break, the-entire village would be swept away. -- A dispatch from Fiank says: "A tremendously . loud reverbration shook the whole valley of tlje Old Man's river this morning and scarcely half the in habitants of this town awakened to a realization of the impending danger, 'when, from the top of Turtle Moun tain, Overlooking the settlement, mil lions of tons of rock were hurled. "The Frank Mines, operated: by the French Canadian Coal Company, across from the town.were seen to be buried under hundreds of feet of rock just as the morning light was breaking. In side of five minutes from the first thun derous shock", , half the town realized what had happened, a small force of men had started to the relief of the miners, despite the great risk they ran of being buried under the rocks, which were still being precipitated from the lofty mountain top. The volunteer re lief force was unable to get near enough to determine that not a man at the workings had ' escaped death. . Many had been fearfully mangled. -"The disaster was merciful to those men who were employed above ground in that they must have been killed in stantly, while those men ia the work ings of. the mine may yet be alive if they have air to breathe. If all the air shafts to the mine were closed op under Uiat awrut aviimuuue am iub uieu lllUBl' have died by this afternoon. The dis aster was not confined to the vicinity of the mine alone, for many of the dwelling houses in the town of Frank were demolished by the falling rock. Some of the occupants of these houses escaped death, but many others were instantly killed. It is conservatively estimated that the loss of life will ex ceed one hundred and the latest returns place the number of dead at112." At noon today it wasimpossible to arrive at any accurate estimate oi me loss of life, as, owing to the excitement and hurry and rush of people on the streets, no one could say who is missing and who is not. , There are no records available that will tell how many men were working in and about the mine at the time of the disaster. It is variously reported that there were from 18 to 50 miners under ground. , The railroad track for a distance of two miles or more east of the station is covered with from ten to forty feet of rock and the telegraph wires are down. All communication is being conducted over one wire, running west, and this one line is so blocked with private messages and inquiries from the out side it is only with the greatest difficulty that press matter can be sent out. The eruption influences seem to centre at the crown of Turtle Mountain. An anneal has been made from Frank to the government and mounted police are being hurried to the unfortunate village. Aid is also being sent from neighboring towns, but owing to the interruption of the train service and the mountainous country, it will be several hours before help can reach the stricken community. Frank, April 30. It is . definitely known that 56 people lost their lives Wednesday Dy the siiamg oi trie rocKy top of Turtle Mountain down upon the sleeping village of Fjank.

They have the largest and most promising small grain crop perhaps in the history of the state. The farmers are talking corn ; cotton is the queen consort, but corn is king in Texas ttiia year. The average Texas farmer is tired shipping his corn from the northwest and they hope with the wheat, , oats and corn crops to gain back their independence, which they have surely lost in the past three years. The projected cotton crop of Texas is not as large in acreage this year as it has been for the past sev eral years, I am told. I have not seen a stalk of cotton up in Texas, though there may be some coming up in southern Texas, . Thousands of acres of corn is up in good shape. I sup pose the state will not be short on farm labor, for the tens of thousands of emigrants which have loaded every train coming from the east since last fall will certainly supply the demands. Texas is certainly a rat hole for hu manity. Perhaps more than a hun dred thousand emierants come into this state evey winter, and they "settle around" and fall into line and there seems to be no surplus and no overplus.- Texas can carry a population of twenty millions without a jam, .when she gets ready to do her best, j Texas towns are too thick to thrive. Tjbere is no longer, a race between Dallas and Fort Worth. Dallas is out distancing her too far for the race to continue. Dallas will take in her euburbs and show up at the next cen sus with largely over a hundred thou sands The Armour and Swift packing houses saved Fort Worth from a de- ciine, no doubt ; she is now a good second class city and will remain in at class. Dallas and Houston will be the rival cities of Texas and they will grow and grow.' Fort Worth is now entertaining a street, fair, with "strictly moral" placarded on the front entrance. What a shame to civiliza tion, much less to "Christianity, these dirty things are. I suppose Atlanta has had her last, as she has had only her first "strictly moral show." Ho tels, saloons, gamblers and bawdy that prosper during such carnivals, and it's a picnic for all of them, j No self- respecting city will ever have more than one street fair of the Btripe and kind Atlanta witnessed a few months ago, and 1 think that is the only Kind there is. ; I spent last Sunday in Memphis and preached at the First Methodiat church. That city is a dirty hole. " Saloons, dry good stores, groceries, etc., open Sun day morning, for businesss on Main street just like it was Monday. You can buy anything from a cravat to a mule in Memphis on Sunday. Baseball galore, and against all this there is very Uttle protest The state of things in Memphis would be un thinkable in Atlanta. Memphis needs Chief Ball and Judge Broylea bad. Memphis is a wide-open city, and I am told that sort of a town is always pros perous. But I was told that Memphis' treasury is empty. Streets Torn up and no money to fix and pave them. Two much money going for beer and boodle in many of our cities, no wonder they are bursted. "Poor old St. Louis.'' But beer is getting scarce in Ten nessee. 1 am told that in omy six places in Tennessee can. whisky be sold. Memphis, Nashville, Clark sville, Knox ville, Chattanooga and Winchester. I am told again that the aMi-saloon league of Tennessee has designs on these six places and I am sure they will drive whiskey out of the State if the whiskey gang in those cities continue to violate law-And defy decent public sentiments If they die it will be suicide, a clear case pf 6uicide. They revel and rot and rot as they revel. North Caro lina, Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Texas look like they w.ill drive the traffic from their midst forthwith. So, moteitbe. Amen? . - I am lecturing in many Texas towns and U are dry, very dry. and all proud that they are very dry, Uaiveston ,is the . only .Texas town that I " lecture in on this tour that has saloons. Uoorah for Texas. Pistpls and bottles are on. a gradual decline in Texas and the fools who carry them are growing beautifully scarcer each year.' ' V-Sf-. r I like the way Governor purbin, of Indiana, goeB for them, lie notified the mayor of Hammond, Ind., and the sheriff of the county that if they could not or would not stop pool selling at the race track that he would send the State militia there and put - a etP to Nothing like a exdman for goyerqar. apa a governor wno ia a gooa mftn Virginia, North Carolna Tepneesee an Tejas all have the best governors tbey have bad In my day. The power of a good governor who is on the mora: side of all issues can wield is inc&lc ble. . Nex to ha a decent, fearless iudgel Next to nim la a brave, clean mayor. Next to him is Chief Ball. It does me good to hrag on Atlanta t' and tell the people of other atties cf her ) growth, her sky-scrapers, her $1,000 ah jowes o ma marKus TEilNCSteB ANDTHis, license, her enforcement of law, he Chief Ball, her Judge Broyke,! her Chief Joiner, splendid preachers,! and her eauedoct.,' etc And tber be lieve all my tales because they are so.

Ktw Tort Sua. . 1 . i In the pool of the bullfrogs, smaller turtles and alligators at the Aquarium, there is a log six or eight feet long that the turtles, like to climb out on; A 1 bullfrog hopped on one end of this log the other day just as a turtle climbed up on the other end ; and, each moving along the log front the end at which it had mounted it, the two soon met, face to face, at the centre, and tben4en1 the rest to the natal sUtiona. they halted and settled down and looked at each other. ; There wasn't room for them to pass on- the log, and neither of them showed any disposition to turn around and go back and let the other goon, nor j did either of them boow any disposition to fight and put the other, off. Tbey just sat there, facing each other on the log. They migaf" have been sitting there until now if it had not finally come back to the bullfrog that it could jump. When this occurred to it the bullfrog leaped into the air and sailed clear over the turtle and landed on the log be yond ; and so the problem was solved, and the turtle and the' bullfrog could each proceed on its way without scrap ping and with all due dignity. j And the turtle, its path now unob structed, started up at once, and pro ceeded placidly on its way along the log ; but the bullfrog, when it had landed, imoved by curiosity, or some other feeling or instinct, turned around on the log, and sat there , watching the turtle, to see how the jump had struck it, and what the turtle was going to do. Canada' Boom. ! A recent consular report dwells upon the extraordinary business activity in Canada at the present time.

Its foreign trade per citizen! i $71.. year, wiiuovura nr dui ot. u ipw its foreign trade was but $224,420,000; in 1902 it was $423,910,000.

Bank deposits since 1895 have grown from $182,688,000 to $366, 682,000. The Dominion, accordingly, hums with industry and new enter prises are numerous. All this proper ty is good for us, since we sold Canada last year $114,744,000 worth pf goods, against $53,529,000 worth in 1396. - At present the Canadians are watching with interest the effort of Germany :in London to get the surtax imposed by Canada On uerman imports removed Bargaln Bosb Fatal to Woman Chicago DlBpatoh. .

The only bad feature pf the situation according to The 8un's review, ia the industrial depression due ' to the" low price of sugar. Favorable conditions last year after the decision of the Brus sels congress to abolish beet sugar bounties, encouraged the planters and secured-for them fresh loans. But now the price is down again, the market "is1 glutted, and it u expected that only a very few of the most favorably situated estates can make any profit. Most of the planters at present are barely able .to keep along and some are threatened with disastrous failure. ..

The farmer with poultry, butter and eggt can iaugn at the gold miner. A big crop of spring chickens this year will start a modft bank account: It can be said that the farmer, at 411 ereau, is faring better than the manufacturer, for the talk of the campaign orator that the mill man is making all the money is aim ply talk. Just the reverse is true. With cotton selling at Its present high price it it close having for tbe cotton manufac turer. He is now in a position similar to that of the farmer when be bad to sell his' cotton at tbe ooet of production. There is very little money in cotton manufacturing at tbe present time. Outside of the iron and at 1 mills, upon which a demand is matle for matt rial to go into the new territory being de veloped, jiearly all classes of manufa tures are having a comparatively dull time, but with the farmer in a proser- ous condition the country ia boaud to be prosperous. The farming prospect for the present year is one of the most en couraging pn record from the stand point of the state of the market, for the indications are that generally good prices will prevail. The rains have re tarded early jspring work but the farm ers have started much later in the season and male big crops and there is no reason yet to- predict a shortage this year. The cotton mill settlements of Charlotte are of much benefit to the Mecklenburg farmer, as they give him market for everything that he can products for which there was formerly no market jinto productive channels.
