DROWNED IN BLACK RIVER
J. M. J. Phelan Drowned Near Paro
quet While Pearling Thurs
day of Last Week.
M. ,1. Phelan was drowned in
Black river a short distance above
the railroad bridge at Paroquet
late Thursday evening of last
week. He was pearling, and it is
supposed that he lost his crow-feet
bars end was trying to recover
them when a log caught in the
line his boat was anchored with,
and the boat was capsized, throw
ing him into the river. He seized
a jug and an oar from the sinking
boat and by the aid of these man
aged to keep himself above water
for some time. He floated down
the river nearly half a mile, call
ing for help. His cries attracted
the attention of Dr. A. P. Yates,
who happened to be near, and Dr.
Yates started to his rescue, but
Phelan became exhausted and sank
just before his rescuer could reach
him.
Phelan had been living in that
neighborhood for some time, and
was well liked by the people of
the community. He was about
years of age and was unmarried.
He was said to have been a well
educated man, and was a member
of the Catholic church. Nothing
is known of any of his relatives,
except that his mother lives at
some place in Illinois.
All efforts to recover the body
were fruitless, and at last accounts
the body had not been found.
Two Strausses.
Never was there worse confu
sion caused by similarity of names
than between Strauss, the tone
poet, and Strauss, the composer of
the celebrated “Blue Danube” and
many other waltzes. What makes
the muddle more amusing is the
fart that the two Strausses are
quite intimate with one another.
and when the tone poet is congrat
ulated— as he often is—on tie*
success of the waltzes he did not
write, he at once sits down and
; humorously relates his experience
in a letter to his frind.
FACTS CONCERNING CANCER
Some Important Discoveries Recently
Made by British Medical
Experts.
t Important discoveries in con
nection with cancer were an
nounced recently when the prince
! of Wales presided at the annual
meeting of the general committee
of the cancer research fund. l>is
tinguished experts briefly summed
up their work as follows:
“Civilization is not the cause of
cancer, which pervades animal as
well as human life and attacks all
its subjects at relatively the same
age and periods.
’’It is not an infectious disease
and is not transmissible from one
species to another. A cancer cell;
can reacquire powers of self-prop
agation.
“Cancer is not caused by a para
site.
“The malady is not on the in
crease.
“Radium has been found to ex
ercise no curative effects.
“A serum has been discovered
from which good results are
hoped.”
The first authentic cases of can
cer in animals were minutely de
scribed by experiments which had
been made on fish and wild mice.
The prince of Wales urged the
public to consult the surgeons at
the first indication of any cancer
ous symptoms, though the report
of the experts said that no sign
has yet been discovered by which
medical men can surely recognize
| the presence of. cancer.

there cannot be the slightest

to madness. When t-his bacillus is
