The Canadian Pa effio steamship Company's steamer Princess Sophia went to her doom in Lynn Canal with 143 souls on board between t and o'clock Friday evening. This was believed definitely estab lished by a statement of the master of tha steamer King and Winge and by the log of the government tender Cedar. A last wireless message was received by these vessels from the Sophia about 5 o'clock Friday, and it said: "Just to say good-bye. IV e are foun derlng." The Cedar wireless operator called the Sophia repeatedly after that, but had no response. The captain of the King and winge said the small boats standing by the Sophia repeatedly asked to take off the Sophia s passen gers, but Captain F. L. Locke, of the Sophia, replied that they were safer on the Sophia than in small boats. Description Short but Vivid. Short but vivid was the description of the first stake of the wreck as re lated in the diary of John Maskell, of Dawson. He wrote under date of Oc tober 14: "We struck the reef in a blinding snow storm during the night. A num ber of passengers were thrown out of their berths and great excitement pre vailed. Boats were made ready to lower when information was received that the boat was not taking water. The pas sengers became quiet. Owing to the storm the boats wero not lowered. This morning we were surrounded by a num ber of small boats, but it is too rough to transfer the passengers. In the realism that we are surrounded by grave danger. I make this, my last will." Then followed the will, dividing his property between his father and Doro thy Burg-ess, his "wife to-be," of Man chester, England. Wlrele Operator Hero. Klworiti Miller. Sacramento, Cal.. was among the heroes of the disaster. He worked at his wireless instruments 40 hours without relief. t-'earch- for bodies of the Sophia wreck is being prosecuted in a battle with cold winds, snow and still angry waters by scores of sleepless, tireless fisher men and Juneau volunteers. The bodies known recovered at the time of filing this dispatch were 138, of which 14 were here. There are doubtless many others on boats en route to Juneau.

Meat forms uric acid, which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from tho strain, get slug gish and fall to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head aches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizzi ness, sleeplessness and urinary disor ders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, orfenslve, lull of sedi ment, irregular of passage or tttended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy: take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and In a few days your kid neys will act fine.
