STRIKES OX THE ICE IX NOME
ROADSTEAD.
Seventy-five Jump From Vessel, All
Escaping Except Two White
Men and One Chinese.
SEATTLE, Wash.. June 13. A special
to the Times from Nome says:
The steamship Ohio, owned by the
White Star Steamship Company, struck
on the Ice at Port Safety at 2 o'clock yes
terday morning, with loss of life to two
white men and one Chinaman, and great
damage to the ship. A huge hole was
stove in the Ohio's bow and she began to
fill rapidly. A terrific panic ensued, dur
ing which the davit lines were cut and
the lifeboats dropped and a number of
occupants thrown Into the sea. In all, 75
persons jumped from the ship or were
precipitated from lifeboats onto the ice
and in the water. Of the two white men
drowned, the name of only one. Otto An
derson, has been learned.
The ship's officers were cool, but worked
rather slowly. Only for 'the efforts of
Captain Brown. First Mate Frank Mills,
Chief Engineer E. L. Raymond and Purser
Allen, a disastrous loss of life might have
resulted. Passengers and crew became
greatly excited, and a mad rush for the
boats followed the grounding of the ship.
By closing the bulkheads of compartments
1 and 2, the officers of the ship did much
toward saving the craft and the lives of
her passengers.
When order had been restored, the Ohio
was backed off the ice and returned to
Nome, badly damaged. At a late hour
last night she was sinking rapidly in the
roadstead, her position being a most pre
carious one. A' committee has been ap
pointed by Captain Brown to survey the
ship.

Jordan received a telegram this morning

well.
He had sailed from Seattle a couple of

Nome, and his telegram was the first In
timation reaching this city that the ves
sel had been wrecked. The telegram
was evidently to allay alarm as to his
safety.

ROADS HIT AT LUMBERMEN
Supply Cars Only for State Cora-
jiterce Farmers Thus Profit. -

cial.) The Hill and Harriman roads
will retaliate on the lumbermen of
Washington for the passage of the re
ciprocal demurrage act -by withhold
ing cars for Interstate traffic, but
promptly forwarding cars destined for
points within the state. Since all the
lumbermen's business is Interstate this
railroad policy will greatly aid the
Eastern Washington farmer at the ex
pense of the lumberman.
, Twenty-five hundred Great Northern
cars are said to be now on the way
from the Minnesota transfer to Puget
Sound In an endeavor to prevent the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cific from incurring any of the pen
alties imposed by the new reciprocal

Superintendent Ackerman Issues
Circulars Citing State Law That
Gives Power to the Boards.
SALEM, June 13. (Special.) For the in
formation of school directors in all cities
of 1000 children of school age Superin
tendent of Public Instruction Ackerman
today issued a circular letter, which calls
attention to two sections of the code au
thorizing' the adoption of additional text
books in such districts. Textbook pub
lishers are much pleased over the dis
covery that this section of law exists and
they are in hopes of being able to in
duce school boards to make many adop
tions in addition to those recently made
by the State Textbook Commission.
It Is quite likely that such School
Boards will now be deluged with samples
of textbooks which the companies want
adopted. While the law does not require
submission of samples, as In the case of
the State Textbook Commission, yet if
the members of a School Board should
let the textbook men know they have
the matter under consideration there is
little doubt that the samples would be
forthcoming. It would appear," however,
that comparatively few books can be
adopted, for the law expressly provides
that the books adopted shall not be used
directly or Indirectly as a substitute for
any book adopted by the State Commis
sion. The sections of law governing the
adoption by districts of the first-class
are as follows:
In the month of July, in the year 1901,
and In the month of July every sir years
thereafter, and at no other time, the board
of directors in any district In which a high
school is maintained shall adopt text-books
required to complete any branch of study
added by such board of directors to the
branches of study specified for a state high
school course. Such adoption shall be made
viva voce, and a majority vote of the entire
board shall be necessary to a choice of any
text-book, and the vote thereon of each
member shall be recorded In the minutes
of the bbard. No text-book shall be adopt
ed as herein provided that shall be used, di
rectly or Indirectly' as a substitute for any
text-book adopted by the State Board of
Text-Book Commissioners, or that shall di
rectly or Indirectly replace any such adopt
ed text-book. (Code 8457.) When text-books
have been adopted by a board of school
directors, as herein provided, such board of
school directors shall, not .later than thirty
days after the adoption, enter into a writ
ten contract, made in triplicate, with each
publisher whose book or books shall have been
adopted, to maintain at least one depository
in such district where such book or books
may be purchased; to furnish the same
according- to the provisions of this act, and
the conditions named in the bid. One copy
shall be delivered to the State Superintend
ent of Public Instruction, one to the clerk
of such district, and one to the publisher
named therein;, and the provisions of this
act concerninK the adoption of text-books
by the State Board of Text Book Commis
sioners shall apply to the adoption of ad
ditional text-books by boards of directors,
as far as the same may be applicable.

FRAtD IX MARIE CARRAU SUIT
Irregular Transcript of Testimony
Mysteriously Sent Judge.
SEATTLE. Wash., June 13. (Special.)
A cry of fraud has been raised today over
the sudden and unexplained appearance of
an alleged transcript of the testimony in
Marie Carrau's suit for John Sullivan's

Today it is found that the alleged

and the certification Is missing. There Is
no record In the Clerk's office that a

The scandal of the Sullivan estate will
be gone into again tomorrow, but the
court is sceptical about an ability to de
velop what Is believed to be fraud on
someone's part. As it stands now, the
two charges that the transcript was
stolen or that the newly-discovered tran
script is a forgery are bandied about.

MINISTER'S FOOD
ltd Value Dliretfred During; Absence
of Family.
A Fla. minister had an interesting
experience when his family were com
pelled to leave home on account of the
yellow fever. He says: "Wrhen we
were visited by a yellow fever scare,
my family left for an indefinite stay
in the interior.
"I had, for about two years, been
under considerable physical and men
tal strain, and my nervoue system
seemed to utterly give way. I had
some excellent phylslclans, but their
remedial agencies failed to reach the
case at best, affording only tem
porary relief.
"At the time the family left, my at
tention was called to Grape-Nuts food.
Several things had led me to believe
that my troubles were largely due to
improper nutrition. The absence of
the family gave me a good opportunity
to try the new food, for It Is perfectly
cooked and therefore required no work
on my part.
"So I began to make two meals a
day, supper and tireakfast, on Grape
Nuts and cream or milk, and had noth
ing else. I confined myself to the
proper allowance, not overeating. The
improvement was marked, almost from
the first. my dlgrestlon was better,
sleep became regrular and restful, and
I began to gain flesh. I could soon do
work with, less fatigue and more sat
isfaction. "My nervous- syctern was wonder
fully improved, and I soon weighed
more than I ever had before and found
my strength equal to all the respon
sibility. This was not all; on the re
turn of the family ,Grape-Nuts became
a regular article of food at the morn
ing meal. The children ate it and Im
proved. "My wife,-who was nursing an In
fant, discovered that after she began
using Grape-Nuts regularly, for the
first time Nature's food oupply for the
baby was adequate without resorting
to artificial subterfuges. Grape-Nuts
food not only carried us through the
sickly season, but has been a God
send to our entire family." Read
