WE WILL TELL YOU uo2z when you call LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT TO GEORGE KNUDSEN OF SHER MAN TRANSFER COMPANY THB BEE HIVB RUNS INTO TROUBLE. Insurance and Fraternal Society Seems To Be About Broke. - SAN FRANCISCO Oct. 22.-The Commoners of America and the Fieldworkers Security Company, two affiliated fraternal insurance compan ies doing . business ; on the .

The branch office at Los Anglese is said to have been attached for $400and the San Francisco office was yester day attached by W. W.

Myron Wolf, who replied; that Jie did not have jurisdiction over fraternal in surance orders. Babcock ' declared that the management of the company has been guilty of fraud.

Jdtoff's THE STYLE STORE ' Suits, Cloaks and Millinery. , While driving a heavily laden wag on down the Uniontown hill yester- lay 'afternoon, George Knudsen, driver,.. Jot ... the, Shewuan Transfer Company, was thrown under the wheels as the result of an accident to the .brake, and be received . in juries from which he shortly after died. . ' " Apparently both the fore and rear wheels on one side" of the " wagon passed over his chest . and literally crushed his life out. The accident ' was witnessed by one or more peo ple, and kindly hands soon endeavor ed to render assistance. ' He was tak en to St Mary's hospital and every care given him as soon as possible , but apparently there was no hope of "saving his life and he died a few moments after 5 o'clock. ; I- The wagon is said to have carried perhaps over two tons, and, as it neared the bottom of the Uniontown hill, the horses held it back with some difficulty, despite the fact that the brake was on. Knudsen arose in his seat according to the statement of those who were near at the time and bent his whole weight and strength to throw the brake back more tightly against the wheels. With a sudden snap the brake broke. Knudsen was precipitated backward and fell to the ground. It was impossible for him to save him self, ; under the circumstances. As his body touched the ground the front wheel caught him and passed over him, and a second .later the rear wheel passed over him in the same way. -: .-.-..-.--- The , wagon passed i on .and the crushed body of the unfortunate young man lay there in the 'street. wan tne Drake Droken the wagon jumped ahead against the horses, but the patient and well trained am mals are said to have done "all they could to stop it, and a man ran out and threw some blocks under the wheels, stopping it effectually When the unconscious form of the wounded man arrived at thejjospital it was seen at once that his injuries were very bad. Dr. Finch was called and he hastily treated the injuries, but from the first it seemed inevit able that death would come at any moment. He had sustained a con cussion of the brain, ?a very bad gash on the head, his chest .was crushed, and several ribs broken, his right arm and right leg cut and broken, besides other minor injuries. He was hardly, conscious at all while at the hospital,, though once or twice he called for water. .... . . -.. , JThe. news of the frightful accident soon spread over the city, and on ev ery hand last night were heard ex pressions' of regret for the untimely death of the young man. His com rades said he was but 19 or 20 years of age. He was a tall, fine looking youth and wa, well known about the city. ' His home was at 122 Fourth street, where he resided with the Knudsen ' family. His sister, Miss Thyra Knudsen, is employed as a bookkeeper in the Elmore office. Notice of the funeral wil be an nounced later. BOARD SAYS BOYS CAN GO ON WEEK'S TRIP TO PORT' LAND AND EUGENE. At a meeting of the school board yesterday afternoon the question of granting permission to the High School football team to go to Port land and Eugene was - Again taken under consideration, and the mem bers voted to grant the desired per mission:? 'This wil) be good news for the iHcmb;rl of the football tfca.nl and U the others in the Astoria fligh who are interested in athletics. It is said thfe board showed no dts inclination to grant, tne permission, Only one member is said . to . think that it might be better if the boy would stay at home instead of mak ing a trip that will take them out of school for an entire week. An incidental question has arisen in, connection with the absence of the football team for one week. In the Astoria public schools there ob tains what is termed the "honor sys tern," and under this system all those pupils who have fulfilled certain re quirements called for are passed from grade to grade without being com pelled to take written examinations at the end of the terms. The system will be best understood by present ing the section of the school laws in question: "Fupils known as "Honor Pupils" shall, at the end of each term, be promoted without examination, when they have fulfilled the following re quirements: Excellent deportment, no tardiness; not to exceed five days' absence, all of which must be ex cused, and a general average of 83 per cent in scholarship, provided that they shall not fall below 70 per cent in any one study." - ' .

"five days' absence" no - matter what the cause may beunless excuse is granted by the proper school authorities, will render all advantages , under the honor system of no effect'. The boys of the football team na turally wished to secure permission from the board to leave for the week, for without that permission . they would lose all advantages under the honor system. Now, with the per mission of the board gained, they will be "excused" for the week by the principal, Mr. Imel. , j But a question arises. Is it not a hardship on a boy or girl who may fall sick for six or seven days? Under the rule the pupil who falls sick for any period over the five days must lose all the advantages of the honor system, while the football boys are excused for a full week merely to help carry out the school athletics.-- ' ''" There has been some criticism of this five-day rule, as there seems to be a disposition to think there per haps should be an exception in the one case of accident or sickness. If boys are to be given a chance to go away for a week to play football and still may retain their claims on the honor system, it may not be too much to ask that a- pupil whd falls sick for six or eight days may also be granted some chance to retain the advantages of the rule, , . , j ..; Superintendent Clark, said .last evening that he tnmns tne ruie should be changed in the case of sickness or accident. He will there fore propose some proper amend ment to the board, whereby a pupil ho is kept out by an unavoidable necessity may still be given a chance to be advanced without the written examination, especially in those cases where the pupil can and will "make up" for the time lost. Mr, Clark said that in his opinion, and in the opinion of most of the teachers, the , honor system has worked extraordinarily well. It as sures attendance and promptness. Last year, for example, the average attendance reached 98.8 per cent a very high record. It seems to be admitted that in individual cases the rule may sometimes work hardships. Some times, too, in a few cases, it may prove too much of an incentive as for example, in the case of a boy or girl wiio is sickly'and should not be permitted to work, too hard.

The captain of the boat immediate ly gave the fire alarm on board and drew closely where a hose was got ten out and Acting , Purser Bain, who was the hero of the occasion, as sisted by the night purser, aroused the old gentleman from his slumbers and arnjd the yell of fire from all hands Mr. Winters emerged from the building in scanty attire and from that time on was kept busy dodging the streams of water which were be ing played upon the house. Wm, Bailey, of x Skaniokawa, who was on board says that had it not j been for the timely arrival of the boat the chances are both Mr. Win ters and the home would have burn-j ed up, and that much credit is due to the Lurline officers and crew for their work.

When you have a scratch on your hand you wash It out and cleanse it and then the skin cures itself. You do not take blood medicine to cure a testcred wound. The best skin specialists today are agreed that the only way to cure the skin is through the skin. The fact that eczema is a skin dis ease and not a blood disease is evi dent from statistics which show that nearly all eczema sufferers are per fectly healthy 1n all other ways ex cept as to their skirt - If the eczema patients were really su?rins from an inward malady, the entire' body and not only the skin would be dis eased. : ' vr You can prove immeditely the re lief of a true skin cure by using oil of wintergreen as compounded in D.
