Are Chiropractio Adjustments the same a.s OsteoVatK Treatments?
No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place
that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong but the Path-
ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different.
One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic
and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct
in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor-

Freight Steamer Mohawk Burns in
Long Island Soud.
-'Fall River, Mass., Nov. 19.The
Fail River line steamer Boston arrived
here during the day with the crew
of the Central Vermont freight steam
er Mokawk, which was burned in
Long Island sound during the night.
There were twenty-two people on
board the Mohawk, including two
women. All were rescued except the
watchman. The Boston effected the
rescue shortly before 1 o'clock in the
morning and at that time the Mohawk
was hopelessly burned and shortly aft
erward there was an explosion which
practically completed the work of de
struction, although the hulk remained
afloat.
The Mohawk had a cargo of general
merchandise. She plied between New
York and New -London, Conn. The
rescued party left Fall River for New

Chicago, Nov. 19.Twenty-two gas
tanks in the big railroad gas charging
station at Seventy-third street and
Couth Chicago avenue exploded dur
ing the day. Bight dead bodies of em
ployes have been removed from the
ruins and it is said that about ten more
employes are missing. "'r
The tanks trere of the style attach
ed to railroad cars for lighting pur
poses. Eleven of the tanks exploded
in rapid succession and were followed
at short intervals by the other tanks.
The fire spread among property of the
People's Gas Light and Coke company
and threatened to reach the large stor
age tanks of that company. Police
men were sent about for a radius of a
mile warning persons to move from
their homes.
To prevent the explosion of the gas
in the mammoth tank Superintendent
Ralph Wells ordered the waste pipes
opened. The pipes run outside of the
plant and in a short time the big
tanks were discharging the gas into
the air. This was a dangerous under
taking, but it was chanced and, prov
ing successful, prevented a larger de
struction of property.
Across South Chicago avenue, di
rectly opposite the gas storage build
ing, was a large coal shed stored with
Goal used in the manufactuie of gas.
The huge coal pile was ignited and in
a few moments was beyond control.-.
Supply Pipes Finally Shut Off."
When the danger of the larger tanks
exploding had been reduced to a min
imum Chief Engineer Eustace, with
several assistants, entered the grounds
and shut off the supply pipes from the
ruined buildings to the large tanks.
He said It was almost miraculous that
the fire had not entered the larger
tanks.
Buildings along Greenwood avenue
within a block of the place were so
severely shaken that many will no
longer be fit for occupancy. A two
Btory building at Seventy-third street
and Greenwood avenue was totally
wrecked.
The property at South Chicago ave
nue and Seventy-third street, occupied
for gas manufacturing and storage, is
eeveral blocks in length. About 100
men are employed in the district. One
of the victims was blown through a
wall 100 feet away from the building
in which he was at work. He was fear
fully crushed, but may live. He said:
"I was working about one of the gas
tanks when the first explosion oc*
ourred. The ground trembled and
seemed to heave upward when, sud
denly, there was a rip and a roar and
I don't remember what occurred after
that until I came to in the street about
100 feet away. I know there were for
ty men in the place and I don't be
lieve many of them escaped."
The explosion may have been caused
by a search for leaks in supply tanks
made by one of the employes.
Late in the afternoon it was said
that only five persons were killed and
a score injured.

.WAR MINISTER RESIGNS.4.^
Affairs in Partama Take a Turn for'the
Better.
Panama, Nov. 19.General Huertas,
the war minister, resigned during the
morning and President (Amador, by a
decree, accepted his resignation, leav
ing Huertas the rank of general unat
tached, but with a salary which is
equivalent to a pension. The army
will not be disbanded just now. Gen
eral"Guardia, secretary of the war of
fice and an old veteran, has been ap
pointed to the supreme command of
the troops. Everything is quiet now.
The censorship on telegraphic mes
sages has just been .auspended.
Geneial Huertas, a letter tender
ing his resignation, protests against
the charges brought against him, say
ing that he and the troops have been
loyal, but under the circumstances (re-
ferring to American intervention), and
though they would dearly like to fight,
in order to prevent bloodshed and to
prove once more his love for Panama,
he resigns his office.
The Isthmians deplore the., events
because General Huertas' modesty and
reputation fr not being ambitious had
made him very popular.
