Heroic Treatment
After experienced physicians had
declared that even amputation of a
leg might not >:ivc the life of 1’olice
mau Coles Carpenter, and a priest had
been summoned to administer the last
rites of the church,Dr. Raymond Sulli
van, a young interne in St. Mary’s hos
pital. succeeded, by the alternate bak
ing and freezing process.in saving Car
penter's life and leg.
Dr. Sullivan “baked'’ Carpener's leg
in a heat from 150 to 200 degrees to in
duce a rush of blood to the limb. He
then plunged it into an ammonia ice
tank to drive the blood out quickly
and carry away the impurities which
had caused mortification. The treat
ment proved effective, and early in
April Carpenter could use his leg with
the aid of crutches. Last night he
took a long walk without the crutches.
His leg will soon be normal.—New
York Herald.

ay Cable to Th« Dally Gateway.
St. Petersburg, June 12—Germany
opposes the triple alliance between
Great Britain, France and Russia
which King Edward’s recent visit to
the Czar is supposed to have cemented.
Germany is disposed to look upon this
alliance as a hostile measure, while
the other powers regard King
Edward’s visit to the czar as his crown
ing efforts to safeguard the world’s
peace.

Reval, Russia, .June 10—The czar to
day entertained the king on his private
yacht. It is probable that a triple al
liance will be formed.
Plight of Alaska Indians
Seattle—Forty per cent of the adult
Indians of Alaska are suffering from
tuberculosis, while practically all the
children are suffering from some dis
ease or other, is the report of Captain
Paul C. Hutton, assistant surgeon,
United States Army, who has arrived
in Seattle from Fort William H. Sew
ard with a detachment of the Tenth
Infantry. Capt. Hutton, when he went
j north last Summer, had instructions
' to make a special investigation of the
i Alaska natives. He will go east at
once and make a special report on con
j ditions as he found them to the Com
! missioner of Indian Affairs. “Cond’
tions among the Alaska Indians,” said
Captain Hutton, “are the worst I have
ever seen. They are indiscribable.
The natives have no conception of
cleanliness, and from habits of con
sumptives in the schools and mission,
many children are tubercular from
birth. The only salvation lies in
sending instructors and medical men
north and complleing the Indians to
observe sanitation.”
Leasing Pistols
A cowboy walked into a hardware
store in Austin, Tex., and asked for a
good six-shooter.
“How much is it?” he asked when
1 he had looked it over.
“1 can’t sell it to you,” the deal
er replied. “but I will lease it to you
for fifty years tor $15.”
“This is a dad blamed funny kind of
a joint.” the cowboy said, “I don’t
want to lease a gun; 1 want to own it.”
He started to walk out, but was
called back by the dealer, who ex
plained that the last legislature passed
a law which imposes a tax of 50 per
cent, on all the gross proceeds from
the sale of pistols.
•'If 1 sold you this six-shooter for $15
I would have tojmy the state a tax of
$7.50,” the hardware man explained.
“1 can lease it to you for fifty years
and won’t have to pay the state any
! thing.”
The cowboy saw the point and leased
! the gun.
The law which was enacted for the
purpose of taxing pistols out of exist
ence in Texas has been in effect more
than nine months. During that period
only two pistols have been sold in Tex
as, according to the tax receipt records
of the state comptroller’s office.—P.-I.
Half the Coal Is Wasted
Prof. J. A. Holmes of the United
States geological survey, declared
that under the present system 50 per
cent, of the natural coal supply of the
country is wasted. A mine, he de
i dares is invariably abandoned after
.the high grade fuel is taken out, thus
permanently preventing the extraction
, of the low grade coal. As an exam
ple of the heavy loss thus entailed, he
cited an instance where only four feet
of a 21 foot vein was mined. The con
sumption of high grade coal is enor
mous, the Pennsylvania road alone
j using 40,000 tons daily for locomotives.
! That means that this one railroad sys
tem consumes annually, for motive
power, 14,000,000 tons.

THOUSANDS
OUT OF WORK
Floods in Montana Have Caused
Great Damage and Put Many
Out of employment.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Helena, Mont., June 8—As a result of
the recent Hoods in the state of Mon
tana that have washed out the rail
roads and swept away factories, thous
ands of men are thrown out of employ
ment. The waters are thought to be
slowly receding. The damage to prop
erty from the Hoods will amount to
millions of dollars.
Floods Recede
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Kansas City, Mo., June 10—Reports
coining from the flooded districts in
dicate that the worst is over and that
the waters are gradually subsiding.
Floods Abating
By Cable to The Datly Gateway.
Kansas City, Mo., June 12—The
floods that have been so wide prevail
ing over this part of the country are
now abating and the waters rapidly
disappearing.
May Be Payer This Year
Dawsou—Hubbard creek, tributary
of Gates, in the lower Fortymile coun
try. promises to be a payer this season.
James Shand,, who is on No. 2 above
discovery on Hubbard, and has ar
rived here direct from the creek,
brings word that Billy Hay burst, the
discoverer, has an average of better
than four cents to the pan on dis
covery.
The depth to bedrock on the Hay
burst claim is nine feet. The owner
is preparing to shovel in this season.
Shand says there is plenty of water on
the creek, and that the fall is splendid.
Steve McPhee has a boiler on No. 2
below and will represent for himself
and a number of other claim owners
on the creek.
Inventor Promises Vision
Paris—M. Armengund, an engineer
and scientist, who has for many years
been experimenting with the telespec
troscope or telephone, which is in
tended to extend the range of the hu
man vision extraordinary distances,
says he has so far perfected his appa
ratus that he can now foretell that
the time is not far distant when
a man sitting in Paris or London will
be able to see what is going on in
New York.
The apparatus is similar to that used
for the telegraphic transmission of
photographs. He utilizes the proper
ties of selenium. His method was in
spired by the development of the cine
metograph.
Russian Prisons
Prison statistics just published in
Russia show bi'tter than anything else
how far from normal the country is.
During tlte last three months 766
death sentences have been passed.
The empire contains accommodation
for 117,138 prisoners, while the number
of persons incarcerated is 167,830. A
horrible condition of things prevails in
Kieff jail, where there are only 690
cells, whereas the number of prisoners
is 2,207.
In Odessa the prisoners have 804
cells and 1,610 inmates. Hence prison
ers are obliged to sleep in corridors on
the floor, while many cannot lie down
at all, but sleep in a sitting posture.
$5,000,000 for Coal
Washington—Approximately $5,000,
000 is the estimate of the cost of the
coal consumed by the battleship fleet
when it will have finished its cruise
around the world. The estimate of the
cost of the coal necessary to move the
fleet from San Francisco to Hampton
roads by way of Honolulu, Manila, and
the Suez canal has been reported by
the chief of the bureau of equipment
as amounting to $2,059,000.
The navy department has been in
receipt of an official communication
from the Australian government offer
ing to furnish without cost the coal
required during the visit of the com
mand in Australian waters. Of course
the government could not think of ac
cepting such an offer and arrange
ments have been made to use Ameri
can coal for the entire cruise.
