THE 3I0RXIXG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1903. E S E House Occupied by Traveling Elders at Eugene Torn by Explosion. DOZEN LIVES ENDANGERED Woman Prostrated by Shock, He quiring Hours to Resuscitate Her. Notice Served on Members Re ligious Sect to Leave Town. EUGENE. Or.. June 18. (Special.) Dynamite wrecked the front porch of a small residence at the corner of First and Washington streets, this city, at an early hour this morning, breaking the front windows of the building and en dangering the 'lives of a dozen persons. Motive for the outrage Is attributed to en effort to Intimidate two traveling Mormon elders, C. I Dunford and C. A. Williams, who occupied the residence. So far no arrests have been made, but the police believe they have an Important clew. Posted on the porch was the following' notice: This Ik a warnlnB to your tribe. Tou have tormented the public enough. Move on. The next shot will do more. We mean the Mor mon tribe. Other persons occupying the building besides the Mormon elders were W. F. Buchanan and "his five children and his sister. Mrs. E. E. Howell and her three children. Mrs. Howell was prostrated by the shock and did jiot regain conscious ness for several hours after the explosion. Stone Strikes Head of Bed. Buchanan and one of his children were asleep In the basement of the house. That they were not killed or severely Injured is remarkable, as a huge rock, hurled from the basement of the porch by the explosion struck the head of the Iron bed in which father and child were Bleeping. The explosion, which occurred at 1:40 A. M., demolished the front steps of the residence and broke all the glass In the windows in the front of the house. Arti cles were jarred from shelves Inside the house. A large hole was blown in the ground in front of the house. Noise of the explosion was heard for blocks, and soon a crowd of spectators was gathered on the scene. The police Immediately began a search of the town for suspects, but so far no arrests have been made. The officers claim to have an Important clew. Members of Household Well Liked. Buchanan Is a laborer In the Skinner's butte stone quarry and Is well liked by men who know him. Mrs. Howell knows of no one'ywho bears the least ill-will toward any 'member of the family. The Mormon elderts, board and room at the Buchanan homy where they have recent ly been holding rneetlngs. They have also held street meetings. From the position of the charge, it would seem that the Intention . was to frighten the people, rather than to kill anyone, for If the latter had been the Intention the explosive would have been put next the house, instead of six or eijrht feet from it. Hurry, however, might have caused the placing of the charge In front of the porch. CONFER A. B. DEGREE ON 10 Graduating Exercises at Pacific Uni versity Address by Dr. Dyott. PACIFIC UNIVERSITY.

It Indloartea a Feebla Stomach In Which the Food Lies Undigested nd Shows Need of Tonic Treatment. When the stomach is feeble the food lies in it undigested, decays and throws off poisonous gases that distend the. walls of the stomach, and cause inter ference with other organs, especially with the action of the heart and lungs. These gases have other ill effects. -They are absorbed by the blood and corrupt it and so cause aches in remote parts of the body and the formation of unhealthy tissue everywhere. General bodily weakness and loss of weight result. The nerves and the brain are disturbed and discomforts such as dizziness, hot flashes, sleeplessness irritableness and despond ency originate from this source. Experience shows that these troubles vanish just as soon as the stomach is made strong enough to digest the food. In other words, it needs a tonic that will rouse it to do the work of changing the food into nourishment. The tonio used ought to be one that will agree with the most delicate stomach. Mrs. Amelia Owinn, a nurse by occu pation, lives at 8139 Vernon avenue, Chicago, 111. She said recently: ""When I was living in Terre Haute, Ind., some years ago, I was in bad health for some months and did not know what ailed me, only that I did not feel like myself. My doctor said I was suffering with indigestion but he did not cure me. "I liad severe pains in the stomach and could not digest any solid food. I had to diet all of the time and had so much gas on the stomach that it seemed at times as though my breath was leav ing me. I was greatly run down in health and lost in weight. "I decided one day to drop the doctor's medicine and take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The first few boxes helped me and I took them until cured. I gained in weight, my digestion became good and I have been in splendid health since. I am glad to recommend Dr. Williams Pink Pills as they are worth their weight in gold." The remedy which gave Mrs. Gwinn complete health can be obtained at any drug store or direct from the Dr. Wil liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., at 60 cents per box ; six boxes for $2.60.

Result of Investigation Will Mean Lower Freight Rates in Oregon or Higher Railroad Taxes. SALEM, Or.. June 18. (Special.) On Its visit to Olympia, yesterday, the Oregon Railroad Commission laid the foundation for a movement which should result either In lower freight rates or in higher railroad taxes. On their return today the Commissioners said that the purpose of their visit was to confer with the Washington Commission regarding the matter of ascertaining values of railroad property. This is a work the Oregon Commission must undertake, for In fixing rates the value of the railroad property must be taken Into consideration. The Wash ington Commission has gone to great ex pense in determining the cost and value of railroads in that state and has Just completed the work. At Olympia the Oregon Commissioners were given every opportunity to learn how the work was done in Washington and what the fig ures show. The Oregon Commission will be able to profit by the experience of the Washington Commission. On their return today they would not say what course they will pursue, but it Is evidently their intention to adopt some plan which will place the Commis sion in possession of facts showing the Cost and present actual value of tangible railroad property. When this has been ascertained. It will form a good basis for fixing rates and assessment valuations. If valuations should be found high enough to warrant high rates, they will also war rant high assessments. The people of the state are in a fair way to profit by the investigation either through revised rates or revised assessments. HURLS BABE TO SAFETY Woman Cut Down by Train, Saves Her Little Child.
