HWBPT 1STO AN COLT WHIRLPOOL. C.p.izcd Into tbe lty Wmtera Mm on Board Uaxed by the Horrible - Sltnmtlum. , ' : i '' . .- Spokakk, Not. 26. A special from Ltwiston speaks of the finding of two bodies drowned on Thursday from the scow in a se by the government making improvements of the Snake, river chan nel. At the time of the disaster it was anchored off the mouth of dry hollow. Two men were aboard and eix were in a skiff alongside thedrill-pipe. . The wati t runs very swiftly atthis point, and there were some ugly rapiis. In a twinkling .he skiff was capsized and the occupants were floundering in the icy waters of the river. . Two of the men, named Mohl and Kuhii, swam aehore, the scow being only forty or fifty feet .from . the bank, but the others either could 'not ewimior were afraid to make the effort. They clung" to' the capsized boat, aud were quickly swept down stream. some 300 feet. There they were caught in a whirl pool and torn away from the boat, and all four were drowned. vi The victims weri William Wiggins, member of a prominent family in Lewis ton ; E.. W.- Evans, foreman of the scow, aged 40, who leaves a widow and family in Ellensburgti ; Harvey Wil iains, from England, aged 50; Reuben Jfenmeyer, aged 25, who had been working as farm-laborer at Lewiston until a few weeks ago, when be went to work on the scow. After the men were swept into the whirlpool . they sank, and none of them came to the surface. For a min ute the men on board the scow were dazed by the "horror of the situation. Then another skiff was manned and an effort was made to rescue the victims. After a chase lor two miles the capsized boat waa overtaken, hope being enter tained that some of the men might yet be clinging to it, but this proved a dis appointment. It is thought that all of the victims were swept loose in the first whirlpool. MRS. BEZANT'S P1CTCBK4. A Tbeonoptilxt'a Somewhat Lacld Ex planation of Gboata. ' From St. James Gazette. In the course of a lecture which Mrs. Annie Besant delivered at Milton hall. Kentishtown. dealing with the subject of apparitions, she said that wlit science meant in talking of ether what the theosophist meant when he spoke of astral matter, only in the one case it had been subjected , to experi ments and was understood, while in the other case'the experiments were at pres ent of the' most, elementary . character, and, although most promising 1 for' the future they were not yet very. reliable in the "' explanation, dot certain curio: and . abnormal phenomena. a Now they, got a; .number vj of appari tions which , had this common characteristic, they were unconscious. t A person awoke and saw a form : which said ."nothing and .did "nothing except stand there. It generally, looked some what mournful iind disconsolate, and speedily disappeared. ' This was a . most unsatisfactory kind of thing, afforded no explanation of its ' presence, and there was nothing to show why it came. The person who saw it real or; fanciful was not quite sure whether he, himself were awake "or- -asleep. ' The apparition appeared at night, frightened for a moment and the . next moment it was gone. "This kind of -apparition -has -nothing more than .what theoeophy described as a picture or revelation in the 'astral light. , 'The modus operandi was this : There was an intense thought in tbe mind of some person. That thought was a real energy, a real . force, quite as rear-as electricity. " It was quite as real as an .-electric, force that could be sent through space; '.and it was not without significance that whenever they got thought action they got electric action. Their medical man . would tell them that when there was thought in con nection with the brain 'there was elec trical action in connection, with -the brain. . When they thought intensely on the physical plane they set free -electricity,, and, on the astral . plane.1, they set up a current through this astral matter, or f ether. t They thought in tensely of a person, and the current set up in astral matter or ether went in the direction of that person as certainly a they could send a current along a wire when they wished - it to reach a distant town. This - set . of etherio vibrations, reach ing the person who was intensified in their tbonght, affected the person by the same medium, and, in some cases, ap peared as an objective reality. In very many cases only as a mental impression waa the person thought of. - 4 What were the conditions under which this unconscious picture was produced? It was constantly produced where a per son was dying, and : where the dying person was exceedingly desirous of see ing some absent friend or relative.. It most often happened between those closely united by ties of blood or of af fection. . Most of these astral pictures were between close relatives or close friends, and the evidence was, to her mind, indubitable that such occurrence? did take place, for they might find over and over again, instances in which the terson seeing the apparition had made a note of the day, the hour and the place ; and it had been subsequently found that at the precise time a friend bad passed through the change called death, and that the news which was thus car ried by these astral vibrations was news as true and as real as , though it were flashed along the electrical wires. Carrent Topic. Although long neglected by - the gen eral government, Alaska is receiving earnest consideration at the hands of Washington democrats who would like to be its governor. ' In spite of -the approach of winter cholera increases in virulence in Russia. To prevent its outbreak in this country next spring great vigilance is necessary.

Lieutenant Peary, not satisfied with his late experience, wants to conduct another expedition over the ice hummocks of Greenland to that mys terious point from whence longitude emerges and whither Latitude vanishes. Mount Pitt, an extinct volcano in the Cascades about 60 miles due east of Grant's pass, is said to be smoking again. C. A. Woolfolk. who has been in eight of it recently, says the ' black smoke shoots straight up in large volumes from the snow-capped peak, and the sight is a grand one from one of the summits at the bead of Bloody run. ' In 1880 a ' friend passing Cheyenne mailed to Dr. W. D. Baker at Astoria horned toad. It turned up last month in Salem, and J. H. Haas, the jeweler, found it in his dooryard. He has had his' toadship at the store in a box of sand ever since.. He wants somebody who knows how to attend to him, to to 1 him what to feed him. The toad; has lived on wind for three weeks.' The dials of the clock on the Oregonian building are fifteen feet across, this being the largest clock face in tbe Unittd States, with one exception. Tbe figures on the dial are about 20 inches in length, and the dots which mark the minutes are about five inches Bquare. A person who imagined that the dial would be " large circleB of glass - with the numerals painted on it, was much sur prised to find that the nuuieials and circles surrounding them are cast in metal, these parts of each dial weighing several hundred pounds.

The Hon. Owen Scott, congressman for this district, but defeated for re-election, in speaking of democratic policies today saids "The democrats may modify the McKinley law, but as to repealing ' it, that is another thing. In the way of modifications they will put raw mate rials largely on the free list and make a general . reduction all along the Hue of manufactured goods. . They will abolish the sugar bounty and put sugar on tbe free list. By this they will destroy the sugar trust, which is drawing from $25, 000,000 to $30,000,000 annual y from the peoples' pockets. They will probably reduce the duty on tin-plate. Nothing will be done In the way of repealing tl law. taxing state bank issues.

Anything to Win. Chicago, Nov. 25. Jockey Euus was caught stirring up the horse Little Crete with . an electric battery at the . Boby track this afternoon as the horses canie to the post for the third race. The at- -tention of the judges was attracted by the unusual activity of the horse when he came in contact with Eons' heels.. The jockey was searched, and under his jacket was found a broad belt with cartridge-shaped attachments, each of which, contained an electric cell, with wires running to the spurs. Nothing could be done .with the jockey under the rules,, but the judges immediately amended the regular ones so as to cover the case. Driven to Their Death. " Kuw ; Yokk, Nov. 26.
