Slkn ruler on tire throne. The date of the great uprising and the plan of the campaign which was to have followed are now known to the authorities. It haa long been auspected by the Indian' office In London that the acheme to throw off the Brltlah yoke, of which the outragea that are daily taking place In disturbed India are part, was being worked from America and for the last three: months native apiea under two white officers hava been quietly gath ering - Information. - From Oakland on the aouth to Seattle, offloers have probed every Hindu circle, with the startling result that It was found the headquarters of the revolutionary party was located on . the coast. Directions were aent to the minor leaders In In dia by an upparentlr harmless - code, through, a white man In California to a well-known native firm In Calcutta. Tread er Mow IA Anuria Xaooff. The real leader la described as a new Guru Nanak. He la a Sikh of exception ally high caste, who by a special dis pensation has been allowed to leave his native country 1 order to prepare him self aa a ruler when the time arrives. He is atlll little more than a youth, yet he haa taken his degree at Cambridge and haa followed this up with a special course at Columbia university. His headquarters waa for a consider able time at New Torlc At the present time he la very much aought after by eight aecret service men, but his loca tion, which la admitted , to be on thla continent, la only known to the highest council of the revolutionists, consisting of seven high casta Slkha.

They are Dernlab Slngtw Backresh Singh, Mar- cam Slnglui Ban Jit Singh .and ? Kanab Singh. Three of the Slkha have been employed In local mllla.

Amritsar is to be the scene of the main uprising. There is an arsenal there which will be of great service to us, and the first skirmish would draw th troopa from Lahore. That will give an opportunity, to the natlvea in Cashmere to take Sealkoto and march on Lahore.

The1 Visiting Nurse Association Th Christmas stamp sale to be Inaugurated by the Visiting Nurse association to raise funds for fighting tuberculosis in Oregon seems , to me to be a unique oppor tunity for everybody to aid In this great work. Th need of a place for advanced case of tuberculosis where the patient may have comfort and treat ment, and the community protection against tha very great danger from many of these cases under present con ditions appeala to any on who has given the matter attention. I heartily indorse the movement and hop for a aplendid success. E. P. OEART, , ' County Physician, "Tearn Bow to rrnnt" Portland, Or., Dec 1. Mrs. M81!e R. Trumbull, Pres., Visiting Nurse Asso ciationDear Madam: At president of th Portland Open Air Sanatorium for Consumptives, I wish to thank your as sociation for th great effort you are making In the fight against tubercu losa The most aerious obstacle we have to contend with ia the ignorance Of the publlo of the danger and menace to all from tha great number of last atage cases within our city, many of whom are without meana to provide themselves with proper nnrslng and nourishing food. Your association has done, ia doing, and I, am sure will con tinue to do great and good work in this fight The work of th Portland Open Air Sanatorium does not reach, except In few cases, the friendless, last atage consumptives, and such perhaps are the most deserving ,of aid. Should you be able to raise sufficient funds to establish a place for tha car of indi gent last stage cases, you will have accomplished a work of great benefit to the city, and at the same time have done a most charitable deed. The work of your toody not only doea not conflict with that of the Portland Onen Air Sanatorium, but is of great assistance. Only by arousing the public to run understanding of the perila of the Great White Plague can we expect aid from the state and city to stamp it out As you well know, consumption Is preventable and curable, but the publlo must learn how to prevent and how to cure the disease,' and to ao Instruct the public requires considerable financial support. With thanks to your association for the assistance you have been to us In the past, and with best wishes for the success of your present campaign for zunas, x De to remain. Tours very truly, A I,.
