A phenomena, known to Geneva and other Swiss lakes as a "sieche," has made its appearance on Lake Michigan. In a queer convul sion, the lake sent a big wave land wards, and residents along the shore suddenly found the- water tapping at their door steps. All along the lake front the waves swept up against breakwaters or over the beach. Steamers were tossed about at their docks, smaller craft were thrown on the shore, boats were bro ken and in several Instances loss of life was narrowly ''averted. Two hoys bathing north of Lincoln park were saved after they had been carried out by the receding wave. A fisherman was rescued by the Evanston life ' saving crew and naother bather, an Evanston boy, was pulled out of the water as he was in danger of drowning.' At the weather bureau the (barometer indica ted a sudden high pressure, followed by an equally sudden drop. A wave of heavy atmospheric pressure passed over the city and as it struck the lake, moving from west to east the water was pushed back. With the pressure released the wave came rushing back and dashed over the land and then re ceded to the normal water line. DR. CARROLL HERE Will Preach at French Broad Church tomorrow. Mitchell parroll, Ph. D., professor of Greek in Columbian university, Wash ington, D. C, a son of the late Rev. Dr. Carroll of this city, has arrived here with his mother, intending to etay a very short time. But he has been persuaded to stay, and twill preach at the French Broad Baptist church at 11 o'clock and assist at 8:15 p. m. tomor , row. ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING Tim Edwards ot Beaverdam Painfully Wounded., Tim Edwards of Beaverdam, while out hunting yesterday with a neighbor by the name of Snider was accidentia shot and narrowly escaped being killed. Both the men were in a run, 'Mr. Ed wards being, in the lead. By some means the rifle in the hands of Mr. Snider was discharged and a" 22 cali ber ball passed entirely through Mr, Edwards' arm and chothing, barely missing the body. . ' : - Mr. Edwards was in town, yesterday .and his wound was dressed by Dr. Se- - vier. ine shot was purely accidental.. It is thought that in running the lock of the gun struck against Sndder's leg, which caused the gun to fire.

The seating ' capac- itv of the buildine- was taxed last! night. Douglass and Hurd, the comedy people, were called before the curtain twice. Harry Bartons, the German mu sial comedianv kept the audience amused with his witty remarks and hu morous jokes. Kelly and Reno per formed their marvellous acrobatic con tortions to perfection. All of these good acts were appreciated and ap plauded. "It was the Peerless Navette Sisters, however, who took the breath of the audience and made the hit of the eve ning. Their performance was an amazing display of dainty lingerie and graceful dancing. The song with which they nlade their appearance was a naughty little jangle of absurdities. re 'Forest and Ward, the black comedians, gave the girls a close race for first place. Their fun-making brought the hearty laughs until hand kerchiefs were relinquished' to wipe the, tears away. Altogether it ie a de lightful show, and full worthy of the royal support which-it is receiving at the hands pt the people." I y fisher's body:buried at the county's expose Harry Fisher, the rniddle aged white man who died at the Mission hospital at an early hour yesterday morning, as a result f injuries received while at tempting to jumpkfrom a moving freight train, was buried during the day at the county's expense. If he had any relatives at Salisbury, where he claimed to live, they never let the fact be known. It was stated that Fisher was a very well appearing man and that he showed the novice in tramp life tooth by his appearance and by his fatally awkward Ifap from the train. BUNCOMBE COUNTY POLITICS Buena Vista, N. C, July 18-It is time for the independents to begin cast ing about for candidates. I have pret ty thoroughly canvassed the sentiment in this end of the county and find it crystalized in favor of two men espe cially, D. S. Hilderbrand for the chair man of the board of county commis sioners and W. H. Wilson for sheriff. These are the men we want to pitt against the Reed combine for the great est hope of success. Just think of it! Reed collects the tax and pays brother. Reed to arrest the criminals and cous in Reed to work the criminals in mac adamizing Buncombe's only sandy road $o Reed's house and through his. farm. This is the "Reediest ewamp-1 ever saw. Buncombe I fear, is going to be entirely overgrown with Reeds. Poisonous ser pents and ravenous beasts hide among Reeds. Give us D. S. Hilderbrand and W. H. Wilson! to lead in the at tack. G. M.

Sometimes th climate does it, hut more often they stumble on the proper food to take, and then get well. A lady in San Diego tells of a friend who left her home each December, for the past two winters, to go to Oal. for her health. She says; "Almost all of her time was spent In visiting the doc tor and sitting in a big chair and watching the clock fto note the time for her next dose of medicine. Nervous ness was her principal 'trouble, and with others of kindred- nature, made life; for her a burden. On the occasion of her last visit, I begged her to give up the use of coffee, and use Ppstunv Coffee. She replied that she could not: stop .coffee. I jsaid no . more at that time but ; the " next jnorning , at breakfast, "I passed toer a fragrant, ,, etealng ..x;tipCT;j ot Ppstum, making it as J. should e made.- Af ter that,. I had-aid more trouble,. and my friend drank no more' coffee."' Butithe most . surprising ' part of "the experience was the change that soon came 1 over her. . , p i't We begami to notice It within less than a week; in less f than a month, her (nervousness had left her, and in three months, she was . new woman la (face, figure and" health; I had not daredto hope for so; much 1 benefit, although 1 had been grealtly foenefl'ted myself by Postum, but coffee to hereys1ehi was simply; pcscmous; and I Teliey this Is the case H with many others. -ShoTe? turned to her ' homo 3n December, and was - married within' less than twd months af ter he neverr fails"tc . give credit to Postum for, -her 1 health V or thanks to me or teaching her :to make it properly, , and well; she may; for Pos tum has done for her what' travel, doc- tors and medicine failed to ;do,V Nam given ly Postum Oo., Battle f Creek, Mich. ." V- , Hi It s Convention Ring Tactics Incen- S Some Democpats Repub . . v lican Congressional iDistric, Prospects Good. Editor of the Gazette: .. . I notice1 in Sunday's issue of your val uable paper" that many good men of the dempcraticrparty , were so disgusted at the methods iathe primary , meeting at Marion on Saturday last, that they -left the convention, etc. " ' The same thing happened here, only fn this county it was a county conven tion and not, a township meeting The democratic executive committee had promised a second Drimarv tn Settle contests between the two candi- aates having the highest vote in all cases where there was no one who had a majority of the whole vote. The old sheriff, J. K. Cline, and Ed Rheinhardt, received the highest votes for nomina tion for sheriff, and James Lore came next with a strong vote, hut none had the majority. Mr. Rheinhardt with drew in open convention. The hair ac cented his-withdrawal, and this left the two highest, Cline and Lore. The Cline faction demanded that the con vention settle.it as- between the two; or rather they demanded that since Rhi'en hardt had withdrawn that Cline be de clared nominated, as his vote was 37& out of 900. The Lore men said that would not be fair, for it was evident that out of 900 votes cast 521 were cast against Cline, and they demanded that the executive committee . keep their promise as stated in the call; and or der a second primary, since Lore and Cline were now the two highest con tending candidates. The Cline men (knowing that a large majority of the, vote cast was against their man) objected to another primary as they knew hey could depend on the delegates present to nominate their man and were fearful that a-popular vote would not. This raised a row that last ed two hours; ending in a refusal to submit the matter to another primary, whereupon nearly one-third of the men present left in disgust. In the meantime Mr. Cline had in open onvention withdrawn, tut the chairman did not heed his withdrawal. This seemed strange to the Lore men as the hairman had at onqe accepted the withdrawal of Rheinhardt for sher- of , of Allen and Camp for treasuer, and or others, without question. When the voting- began, t Cline arose and said, Gentlemen, do not vote for me for I have withdrawn." Did he mean it No. But the chairman again ignored Mr. Cline's withdrawal, and the .vote proceeded, resulting in Cline's being nominated by the delegates who had not left. Whereas if the chairman had heeded Mr. Cline's withdrawal in the same manner as all of the other with drawals had been accepted, it would have left none but Lore contending for the nomination, and of course he would have gotten it. As it is now a man is nominated against contending candi dates when he only got only a little more than one- third of the rjonnlar vote cast. Many good, democrats say that they cannot longer stand this ""same old ring rule," and many others sav thev will swear that they- heard Cline prom ise time and again two years ago that if they gave him the nomination that time he would not ask it again. He will be easily defeated by a good republican or an independent. The objection to Lore was that he had had strong- dodu- listic tendencies. If he had been nomi nated he would have carried a strong populist vote, which is now lost to the democratic party. A very striking illustration of the sen timent; of many democrats in this coun ty is to be found in the following facts, vizt In this democratic primary the highest aggregate vote for on the can didates for nomination for sheriff, the vote aggregated exactly 900; -while the aggregate vote for member of the leg islature was only 619, and the aggre gate vote for memiber of congress wa9 only,. 530. Thus it will be seen that while 900 democrats went out to this primary" there were nearly 300 of them did not take enough interest. in the can didates for legislature to even pick up the ballots which were plentifully pro vided; and in the matter of member of congress it was worse, over 300 of those going to the primary refusing to cast a vote for' the candidates for the nomina tion. This speaks volumes. Another fact that speaks for itself is that Jack Rheinhardt, who has fben sent by the democrats of Lincoln county time and again to the legisla ture, aJnd who so bitterly opposed the action ; of his party ,. in impeaching the Supreme court judges, does not hesi tate to say openly that it Is his honest opinion that the republicans will carry this congressional district, and that two years from now they will carry the state by a heavy majority owing to the number of democrats who will leave the party. Mr. Rheinhardt also says that he cannot vote for two members of the same family to -fill two of our highest offices; (but that "he will vote for James L. Webb,. nominee for solicitor but not for his brother,; E. T Webh, who it is snpposeo?vflri)e',",the democratic nomi ne.e for congress in. this district.
