SHE SAW IN DAKKNESS Fanny Crosby, the hymn writer who died at Bridgeport, Conn, on Lincbln's birthday, wrote, literally, thousands of hymns. They were so popular and so numerous that at one time, the publishers of books of sacred songs were accustomed to invent various names to which to acrcdit her songs that the patrons of the books might not be allowed the criticism that all of the songs therein were written by Fanny Crosby. Miss Crosby was blind from infan cy when, during a fever, a hot poul tice was applied to her eyes, destroy ing the optic nerve. Playing on a guitar when a child, she had so cal loused her finger tips, that she was never able to read the raised charac ters of books for the blind. All her knowledge fame from memory of that which Was read to her by others. Seeing only darkness, she was yet able to observe spiritual phenomena shut out from people with unobstruct ed eyesight und her songs have been of a high character, sufiiciunt to rank her with Wesley and Watts. "Saved by Grace" "Blessed Assur ance," Rescue the l'erishing" "To the Work," and "Safe in the Arms of Je sus" are typical of Fanny Crosby's most popular religious verses. An in cident is related which shows the re markable rapidity with which she em ployed her talents. W. II. Doane, who wrote the music for many of her verses, had cnllcdtonc morning at Miss Crosby's home in New York. "I must take a train for Cincinnati in forty minutes" he said "and I have some music for which 1 want you to write a hymn" He sat down at the piano and played his mus ic. "I think I can write it." said Miss 1 Crosby. She hurried up stairs and sat down to write. For a time she was entire ly oblivious of her surroundings. When she came back to her full sen ses the hymn was written and was on the paper before her. The time elaps ing was only fifteen minutes and she carried her production triumphantly down to Mr. Doane. The music he had played and the words she had written were the same as those used today in singing "Safe in the Arms of Jesus" her most successful hymn. But Fanny Crosby did not begin to write music until she was over forty years of age. Fifty years ago she was best known for her popular mus ical melodies which were whistled all over the country such as "Proud World, Good By, I'm going Home." "Hazel Dell" "The Honeysuckle Glen" and "Never Forget the Dear Ones."

FAMILY MEDICAL GUIDE GIVEN FREE TO SUBSCRIBERS Prominent physicians have esti mated that 68 per cent of the uses of sickness in America could be prevented if there was a more wide spread knowledge of practical medi cine.

MUMP EPIDEMIC CON TINUES TO SPREAD. The epidemic of mumps, supposed to have reached its climax and passed over, is breaking out stronger than ever and there are now DO pupils and one teacher out of school in the east side school buildig alone. Every pos sible precaution is being taken by the school authorities, but without the co operation of the parents little can be done to check the spread of the dis ease. The state board of health places no (iiarentine on mumps, which fact makes their spread hard to prevent Pupils are and have been attending school who come from homes where some of the family have the disease despite the the efforts of the faculty to keep them out. "We must have the cooperation of the citizens in order to make the fight against mumps elfectlve," said Super intendent Hopkins this morning. "If any member of a family has the dis ease we want them to keep the chil dreii out of school and report the 01 no to the Miliool mitlioritii'g. It is the du ty of uny citizen to report any knowl I'dge lluty luivii of enstm In or out of their own fiinilliim".

And Set the Mayor to Shov eling Coal? and Find a few More Jobs for Recorder. "Hello Mr. Attorney, this is the mayor of Bandon speaking. We have a little piece of work that we would like to have you figure on. Without legal advice in the conduct of our bus iness, we have placed ourselves in a legal muddle. What would be your fee for straightening us out?." "Ahem. . . .Oh yes, Mr. Mayor, -I am somewhat familiar with the case. For $1,000 I ought to be able to get you where I can pull your leg for more," comes the reply. This is not a sample of the conver sations that have been going on in the past, but what is coming if circula tors of a. petition that is to be present ed to thcCouncil are successful in car rying their end. The first request in the communication is: "That the city dispense with the ci ty attorney on a flat salary and only employ legal services as required for special work, saving approximately ach year the sum of $9000." Bandon has had some experience in the matter of hiring special legal ad vice and at the present time are mix ed up In a controversy over $5000 al leged to be due a Marshfield attorney. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" and the lawsuits pre vented save more money than the same suits won. Proceeding a little further the peti tion requests that the city engineer have his "head cut off", in order that his $125 a month can be spent to a better advantage and the technical work which he is now attending to be allowed to go to the dogs. Perhaps it is the idea of the petitioners to have the duties of the engineer fall upon the shoulders of the recorder, whose munificent salary of $80 per month they propose to cut. At the present time all the recorder has to do to earn this glaring reward is attend to the clerical work of the city, a small undertaking which if thoroughly attended to would only re quire the services of two men for a period of about 12 hours every day, attend to his duties as judge of the municipal court and attend to such other matters as may be required by the council. For collecting the water rents and carrying on the clerical end of that department, he receives, in ad dition to his regular princely 'salary, the sum of $20 a month and is philau throphic enough to spend this and whatever more is necessary for spec- al clerical work. Also the city treasurer, receiving as much a s$12 per month, is apt to be come a crabbed millionaire, so il is proposed to adopt the retrenchment policy in this department. City war- ants in lesser denominations than one lollar will be welcomed by the banks. Chief Holman is also scheduled for a cut, as are the two night marshals, who only spend half of their time on patrol duty and the other half attorni ng to the duties of the street commis sioner, lor a donation or $75 a month. All indications are that the print shops arc flourishing on graft in the matter of city printing, therefore it is requested that all work of this class be given to the lowest bidder. The total saving should this plan bo approved by the council would be $:J,200, according to the authors of the petition. A REAL ARTIST Miss Pauline Joseph, clever and dainty singer and lightning change artist who has been delighting large audiences at the Lemanski theater in Marshfield will appear at the Grand next Saturday anil Sunday nights, Her songs are new and catchy and in clude such hits "Never Took a Lesson in His Life" "Adam Never had Mammy" "I can't Forget," Dixie Ijind" ond "Its a long wuy to Tipper nry."

Production during 19M was the larg est in History According to United States Geological Survey. The year 1914 was an eventful one in the industry of mining radium, ur anium and vanadium ores and had by far the largest years production yet made. . "Figures collected by Frank L. Hess of the United States Geological survey, indicate that the output amounted to about 4,300 short tons of dry ore carrying 87 tons of uranium oxide and 22.4 grams of niet alic radium. The ore produced in 1913 contained 41 tons of uranium ox ide and 10.5 grams of radium. About nine-tenths of the contained radium tnougnt lo he recoverable under im proved processes. Although carnotite, a mineral of these rare metals, contains threetimes is much uranium oxide as vanadium oxide, the Utah and Colorado ores of these metals generally contain othe Vanadium minerals, in such quantitie that vanadium oxide is at present in excess of the uranium oxide. How ever, little is paid for the vanadium as its separation from uranium troublesome, and only a few thousand dollars was received in 1914 lij: brol ers or producers for the vanadium i the ores sold. Sandstone impregnated with roscoclitc, a vanadium-bearing mica,' is mined at Vanadium, San Mi guel county, Col., on the eastern edgi of the carnotite field, by the Primos Chemical Co. The total quantity o vanadium in the carnotite ond othe ores mined during 1914 was apparent ly about 432 tons. About the beginning of 1914, owing to the very high prices charged for radium salts, their scarcity, their evi dent usefulness in treating cancer and other hitherto incurable diseases, the practical impossibility of the poor re coiving treatment by radium because of its scarcity and high cost, und to the fact that much of the radium heal ing ore of the country was being ship ped out, Secretary of the interior Lane caused to be introduced in Con gross bills reserving radium bearing lands from entry as mining claims and providing for government pur chase. The bills are still pending. During the year the national rad ium institute conducted, under the spervision of the Bureau of mines and mining, operations in Long Park, nca Paradox Valley in Montrose county Colorado and a plant at Denver for the production of radium and investi gation of processes. The work has been so encouraging that Doctor Holmes has announced the profitable production of. radium at olio third its cost. LICOLN'S BIRTHDAY PROGRAM Appropriate exercises of a patriot ic nature marked the observance of Lincoln's birthday in the Bandon pub lie schools, the afternoon session be ing given over entirely to the observ ance of the holiday.
