Major Cicero Newell tells why there are such things as earthquakes, tidal waves and volcanoes. The major learned those things from the Dakota Indians. "When I lived among the Dakota," said Major Newell In the Seattle Times, "I found men, who, like Hud da, gave seven years of their lives to prayer and fasting, that they might become pure In the eyes of God, or The two attractive features of our store are QUALITY AND RIGHT PRICES. There Is nothing new In the way of Jewelry that is foreign to us. We search the market for the very best designs, and buy at close figures, nnd sell at small prices. L.

"After they have proved themselves before their people by performing so called miracles, such as holding their handH and arms in boiling water and not being burned, shot with poisoned arrows pnd not harmed-, bitten by rat tlesnakes and not being poisoned, many other tests that I have witness ed, they are accepted as holy or wise men. The Indians believe they can get the word direct from God, or the Great Spirit, the same lis the wise men and seers of old used to. I have asked these Intelligences to tell me about the cause of earthquakes and tidal waves, and they explain it like this: "They say volcanoes are the safety valves of the earth. That the rim of the earth is gradually cooling. - As It cools It contracts, making the pres sure on the hot lava In the interior greater. At last something must give way, this rim must crack open, or the volcanoes must burst forth and emit this compressed lava. "Sometimes it is relieved In one way, sometimes In another. Should the eorth crack In mid-ocean, where the crust is usually thinner, then the waters of the ocean fill in and there Is a great explosion as the water strikes this bed of hot lava, large masses of the rim are thrown up and islands appear. Sometimes they stay on the surface of the ocean, sometimes they fall back and are again covered with water, but that upheaval so lifts the water that a great wave Is started for the shore that carries death and destruction in Its way. "Muny.of the old safety valves In the earth are now closing up: only a few remain. The crust is becoming so thick that the cooling process Is more slow. Pacific Squadron Coming. It is probable that the marines and sailors of the Pacific squadron will take pnrt In the Industrial parade of the "Made In Oregon" exposition, which will be given next Friday after noon, says the Portland Oregonlan. Senator Fulton yesterday wired Sec retary T. C. Freeman, of the "Made in Oregon" exposition, that the Pacific squadron, under the command of Ad miral Goodrich, would sail from San Francisco this morning. It Is not be lieved thnt any difficulty will be ex perienced In mnklng arrangements for the marines and sailors to participate I nthe parade. The squadron com prises the Chicago, Marblehead, Princeton, Boston, Perry, Paul Jones and Saturn. Inland Wntcrwnys Convention. Ijike Charles, La., May 22.

That the electric line between Wjilla Walla and this place will go through soon Is almost assured.

JTSTICE DEMANDED IX XAVY. Claimed That Punishment Following Courtninrtlnl Was Too Light. Washington, May 22. Naval offic ers are much impressed with the com. ments made by Assistant Secretary Newberry, as acting secretary of the navy, on two recent courtmartlal cases, one thnt of Lieutenant Scofield, who was held accountable for an ac cident on a torpedo boat, and the other that of Paymaster Lukesh, charged with misconduct on the Asi atic station. In both cases the courts failed, according to Mr. Newberry's notion, to Impose sufficient punish ment, nnd the reprimand administer ed to the officers composing the courts. It is not without precedent, of course, that courts are rebuked for their findings, but It is somewhat un usual In the navy department to have administered Just the sort of criticism passed by Mr. Newberry on the naval courts. The officers of the service are spec ulating upon the direct effect of these departmental comments. Rome of them seem to think that the rebuke will tend to Influence naval court martial action hereafter: others real ize that a naval or military court Is rarely Impressed with departmental comments, no matter how adverse they may be. Cnurtsmartlal seldom, If ever, reverse their findings, and it is the one opportunity which officers have to maintain something like ob stinacy In the face of higher author ity. Athe same time, In at least one of these eases described, there Is a gen eral Indorsement of Mr. Newberry's criticism of the court, and those fa miliar with the Incident express sur prise that the court failed to appreci ate the gravity of the offence alleged. Nothing In a long time has Interested naval officers so much as Mr. New berry's action In these particular cases. For a painful burn there Is nothing like DeWltfs Witch Hazel Salve. There are a host of imitations of De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve on the mar ket see that you get the genuine. Ask for DeWltt's.
