An amendment to the Payne wool tar iff bill, fathered by UiFollette, pass-! ed the senate today by a vote of 4S to 32. Ths measure was adopted ut ter another bill, urged by Congress man Underwood, leader of the houHe democrats had been rejected. The success of the LaFollette measure was a surprise, the republican ma jority evidently believing that wool revision was sure to come and doubt less preferred the insurgent's plan to that of the democratic congressman,' which meant a greater slashing of the tariff. On the floor in a speech advocating his measure LaFollette said that the enactment provided for an average reduction of about 37 per cent under the Payne wool duties, while the Underwood meas ure proposed au average reduction of 44 per cent. Among the thirteen re publicans who voted for LaFollette's bill were Bourne, of Oregon: Poin doxter, of Washington, and Works, of California. The wool bill w ill now go to a conference of tbo house, where a probable agreement will be reached between the confrees, and (he meas ure will then be put up to tbo presi dent. Proof of liribery.

THE LEADER Formerly Roseburg Beauty Parlors Manl- Thegreatest Germ destroyer and disinfectant known Will destroy odors and germ life in twenty seconds For use in sinks, toilets and sick room We guarantee this preparation to do all we claim For sale by Marsters Drug Co. - Another disastrous fire, resembl ing in every particular the one which destroyed the I. Abraham store in this city about three years ago. , occurred in Roseburg at about 6:110 o'clock this morning, when thetore! building, owned by A, C. Marstors, 1 of the Roseburg National Bank and occupied by A. -8. Wilson, of the "Fair." was gutted and the stock, of merchandise practically ruined. Mr. Wilson estimates his loss at about $6,000, upon which he carried $4,000 insurance. Mr. Marsters says the damage to the building will total about $1,000, with no Insur ance. , The fire was of a most peculiar nature, and already many theories have been advanced as to its origin. The most feasible theory, however, is that of Mr. Wilson and other, parties who arrived on tbo scene! shortly after the flames were dis-1 covered. They alleged that the store was burglarized, after which a por-1 tlon of the slock was saturated with j kerosene and later set ufire. This theory Is partially substantia ted in the fact that a pane of glass bad been removed from a rear window, while the electric light drops dis played evidence of tamiering. -A can of kerosene was also disturbed during the night, and instead of be ing located In the rear room where it was generally kept, was round near the front of the store. Although partially Oiled last night, the can was empty upon being located this morn ing. According to the story told by Mr. Wilson, who was probably the first nan to delect the flames, bo visited the store at about 0:20 o'clock this morning, aud upon passing from the front of the building to the rear no ticed the door standing ajar. Other rluin this peculiar state of nf fairs, he tlso discoyered that the window pane had been removed from the rear win- tlow. and upon Investigation found It on the porch whre It nnd been placed by the robber or robbers. The 5une of glass was tn a perfect state, evidencing that it had been handled with utmost CHrefulness. Ne:ir the glass were found sevenil elects which had evidently been removed with the aid f a jack knife or some othei instrument of a like nature. As Mr, Wilson passed through the store he detected the odor of kero sene, und Immediately hastened to the alley in the rear in hope that be might ascertain tb whereabouts of the parties responsible for the bur glary. Ah he was about to turn arftund and retrace his steps he was astonished to detert flames n the rear room of the store, whirh. at the time were gain In v. rapid bead way. Cnable to outer the store on accoum of the intense heat, Mr. Wil lon hastened down the alley and onto f'ahs street where hp railed for an- dstance. i ailing to see anyone in the vicinity, he thn ran to Church brothers' bakery and gave the alarm. Mr. Church hastened To the city ball, .in d after ringing the bell, assisted in bringing the hose cart to the scene of the conflagration. With one stream of water playing on the flames In the interior. th fire was onn extinguished, nave a few scat tering embers which with later sub dued with the assistant' or the chemical engine. With the fire extinguished. Mr Wllnon, Sheriff Quine and Marshal ! Huffman made a thorough Investi gation of the store. Although the ; Interior of the store was gutted and the stock practically ruined they i found evidence of Incendiarism. A related by Mr. Wilson, they found ih rear window removed, the kero sene can In the front of the xlore und evidence lending to indicate that engineered the robbery with a view of appropriating nothing other than women's wearing apparel. It is Mr. Wilson's belief that the box contain ing the plume was moved from Its original resting place to the rear of the store, but was overlooked by the blirglars in their haste to escape. As a rule Mr. Wilson left about $5 in change In the store, but upon reading of the robbery of the Kldd grocery store last night, removed all the money from the cash register and placed it In his purse. The fact that the fire was not dis covered until late this morning leadt- the officers to believe that It had been smouldering for several hours. This theory Is substantiated by the story of Mr. Wilson who says that he was unable to detect evidence of fire upon enteriug the store, but up on opening the doors aud thus allow ing a draft to circulate, discovered the flames dgrtlng high In the air. Mr. Wilson says that he will re engage in business just as soon as the loss is adjusted. The building will he repaired by Mr. Marsters as soon as possible. The officers aro working on the theory that the store was robbed by a well known local party, and It is expected that an arrest will devvjop shortly. 01,M,A KKSUKXT KXIMItKN.
