ADAMS PEOPLE ARE FOR SENATOR SMITH HOTLY RESENT INSULTS THROWN AT PHYSICIAN With Big Rally at Court House Mon day Night Democratic Candidates Will Close Campaign At Umatilla Tonight. With every candidate present upon the platform the democratic candi dates held a good rally at Adams last evening and 80 people were in the au dience which turned out to listen to Senator C. J. Smith and his associates In this campaign. It was 'almost the first time all of the candidates had been together as some of them have been prevented from attending all the meetings. This applies particu larly to Sheriff T. D. Taylor, who has been very busy on criminal work dur ing much of the campaign. Thomas Lieuallen of Adams was the presiding officer last night and he In troduced all of the candidates In suc cession, save Dr. Monkman, candi date for coroner, who did not talk last evening. As at the other meet ings throughout the county. Senator Smith gave the more extended talk and dwelt at length upon the Issues In the local campaign. The hearty applause which greeted the doctor showed plainly the feelings of the meeting towards him. At Adams, as at Echo and other places throughout the county, Dr. Smith was greeted by many friends of both parties who expressed the deepest resentment over the scurril ous attacks that have been made up on him during the senatorial cam paign. Everywhere his personal and professional friends are flocking to his support because of the insults that have been hurled at him upon the score that he is a physician.

NOME IS FLOODED BY A SUDDEN SEA HOUSKS CARRIED AWAY J MUCH DAMAGE IS DONE Wltltoat Warning Waves Rise and Swefp Alaska Town Moon Eclipse or Submarine Volcano Thought to Bo Cause. Nome, Nov. 4. Without warning seas swept over the saridsplt on which Nome is located yesterday af ternoon and night and washed two houses into the sea, destroyed fifteen others and damaged 80. No lives were lost, however. The schooner Mary Sachs, was carried inland and left dry on the spit. Thousands of dollars worth of provisions were lost by the flooding of cellars and stores. The surf Is now abating. Many bar ges were torn loose and drifted to the eea. All Nome is working to re pair the damage. The only explana tion for the unusually high tide Is either a moon eclipse or a submarine volcano. Big Sea at Long Beach. Long Beach, Calif., Nov. 4.

NO RED HATS WILL BE GIVEN THIS MONTH Rome, Nov. 4. For reasons not definitely .known, the consistory which has been tentatively set for to day has again been postponed. Three times this year the hopes of candi dates have been raised and three times they have been disappointed. Two or three months ago it was thought that today had been defi nitely decided upon as the date for the creation of new cardinals, but it. is now practically certain that no consistory will be held this month or next. As the pope has announced that no religious ceremonies will be held during 1911, owing to the fact that the Italian government will be celebrating tre anniversary of thte overthrow of the temporal power of the church, It will doubtless be at least fourteen months before the va cancies In the college of cardinals are filled. About three years have passed since the last consistory, and eighteen red hats are now without wearers. Many other vacancies must 6ccur before the arrival of 1912. It Is Impossible to predict who will be chosen as the new members of the sacred college at the consistory which was to have been held today. In some quarters It Is believed that the United States will be given another cardinal, and Arch bishop O'Connell of Boston, will doubtless get the red hat In case such action should be decided upon.

The condition of Pope Pius is worrying the Vatican physicians. Dr. Marcla Fava today urged his holiness to cancel all au diences for two' weeks but the pontiff refused to do so. It is believed his heart trouble has been aggravated by worry over the situation In Portugal, and the trouble between the church and state In Spain.- . FOR SCARLET FEVER In local school circles a stir has been on today over the fact that one of the teachers In the Washington school, Miss McLeay, has been taken ill with scarlet fever. She is the sevr enth grade teacher in the Washing ton school and because of her 111- neta her room is closed today and will be closed for several days at least. In speaking of the scarlet fever sit uation today W. E. Brock, one of the members of the board, said: "For some time past the school board, Superintendent Landers and all the principals and teachers have been taking strict precautions so as to prevent the spread of the disease. I feel there Is nothing alarming in the situation and that we will soon have the disease stamped out. The seventh grade room at the Washington school Is closed today and this eve ning the entire school will be dis missed early so that all the rooms may be disinfected. We have been disinfecting all of the buildings on Saturdays heretofore. I do not be leive there is any occasion for the closing of the schools because of the disease. The teachers are taking the strictest precautions and send a child home if it has the slightest symptom of fever." Dr. D. J. McFaul, city physician, said this afternoon that he did not Consider the situation alarming. With the close Inspection of the pupils and the disinfecting of the rooms he be lieves the disease can be kept down. He has recommended the closing "bf only the seventh grade room at the Washington school. Acting upon the suggestion of Dr. C. J. Smith, the city physician will make a personal Inspection of all the pupils at the Washington school Mon day morning. He will look particu larly to pupils who have had the dis ease and may try to reenter the school too soon. ...... rt H BERLIN IMITATES PARES. Unter den Linden Fas Becoming Like Gay Boulevard. Berlin. Prosperity-ridden- Berlin continues to give expression to Its abounding wealth by restless Imita tion of the luxurious side of Paris. Hardly a week goes by that does not witness the opening of some new emporium or pleasure resort designed to hypnotise the Berliner Into believing he is close to Montmartre and the Boulevards. Unter den Linden is gradually filling up .with Parisian dressmakers, millinery and bon-bon shops, to say nothing of gllden "ca barets" and other cttrlbutes of the so-called "night-life." Thts week the very newest of this ITk sprang into being under the cog nomen of the Trocadero." It Is glltteiingty ornate, and as a conces sion to the new Berlin's money-spending passion no win la served below the rank or price of champagne. Even German champagne, which ordinarily sells from fl.tt to 11.73 a quart, costs S3 at the "Troc," and the other Items of its carte de Jour are in keeping. E. O.

The. most important bill among those which have bees brought In by the Dutch government recently Is the law providing SMS, IIS,tO fer the defense of the Dutch " coast, three-fifth of this sum be tag set aside for the Improvement of the . existing forts and for the building .' of new ones, and the remainder for1' the fleet The bill Is rather coldly received ta ' Hollana. where it Is generally beller- ' ed that neither the army nor the nat- .' vy is strong enough to resist foretga invasion, and the people are asking whether the new bill is not the re sult of foreign pressure. The Liberal organ "Vanderland observes that the bill denotes a re volution in the Dutch system of de fense. Hitherto it was generally ad mitted that the danger was to be feared rather from the East ' than i from the West, whereas the bill al lows it to be understood that It ks against England that Holland must, above all, be armed. The "Vader land" holds to the contrary, and say that Instead of 110,415.000 befog spent on forts as a safeguard In the very Improbable event of an Eng lish Invasion, national defense would be better assured by a good torpedo boat flotilla and a network of maw and by the Improvement of the whole fighting forces.
