L1TTX.E BOYS AND GUNPOWDER.
Very Pnlnfnl Experience of Three
Vounpitpra at JacUMonvIIle.
JACKSONVILLE, Feb. 24. Three little
Jacksonville boys had a painful gun
powder experience today, Thej were
LouIs'TSnglealviTfaged 9 years. andIctor
and Bennie Plymale, aged 8 and' 6, re
spectively. The little Engiedow boy had
a lot of agates and wanted to divide them
with the other boys. His mother gae
him the box containing the agates and
told him that there was some gunpowder
in the box and directed him to pick out
the agates and return her the box. A
happy thought struck the boys, so they
slipped out on the sidewalk and touched a
match to the gunpowder. There was an
explosion and three little boys are now
without eyebrows, eyelashes and front
hair. After three hours' of severe pain
from their burns, the little lads are rest
ing easily, and sustain no crIous results
from their experiment. They seem to be
satisfied with their experiment, and will
not be likely ever to make anarchists.
Mrs. Sarah Justus, wife of George R.
Justus, died at her home at Medford
Thursday evening of heart disease. She
had done the washing and cooked supper,
of which she ate heartily. Soon after
ward, she said to her husband that she
would make her mother a dress. She
suited to cut out the cloth, but com
plained of feeling faint, and died im
mediately. She was twice married. Her
first husband, G-eorge McKnight, died here
of heart disease about 15 years ago. She
leaves a grown son by her first husband
and an adopted daughter.
YOUTHFUL COXUYITES.
One Dny'a Experience on the Rontl
SutlHlics Them.
Yesterday four Olympla boys started
out to see the world, says the Olympian.
They were buck home for breakfast this
morning. ami are not at all satisfied with
the financial, social and economic condi
tions as they exist between Olympla and
Tenino. For some months past the 11-year-old
school children have been re
galed with fairy tales by their older
schoolmates, as to the conditions that ex
ist outside of Olympla in Portland, chief
lyand have been led to believe that there
is ? crying demand in the Oregon me
tropolis for 10-year-old boys, who can earn
520 per month with one hand tied behind
them. The history of Coxey's army and
other bands of tramps has ijcen care
fully perused, and from such study the
idea has come that It is absolutely no
trouble to travel, or to live while "on the
roa," so a Coxey movement on a small
ale was inaugurated several weeks ago
in this city, with Portland as the objective
point- The leader of the Olympla forces
was the 12-year-old son of a local pop
ulist, and up to the hour of starting he
had quite a following, but when the noble
little band of youngsters made ready to
start on their journey yesterday morning,
only four were there who were ready to
"do and die."
They had their plan of campaign all
mapped out. They were to proceed by
easy stages to Tenino, and thence by the
brake-beam route to the Oregon metrop
olis, where they were to rush into the
breach and save the day for 538 per month
dav laborers. They started out all right,
and for & few miles everything was love
ly, They did not reach Tenino, however,
and this morning they all showed up at
home in time for breakfast. They don't
exactly realize where their undertaking
began to fail, but are inclined to lav the
blame at the door of the unapprecfatlve
residents along the route between Olympla
and Tenino.

TWO SUFFOCATED.
Horrible Deaths of Convicts Work
ing in it Mine.
BIRMINGHAM. Ala., Feb. 24. A fire
occurred in Rock slope of the Tennessee
Coal, Iron & Railroad Company mines
at Pratt City this morning, which re
sulted in the death of Jonn Patton and
Louis Stevens, two miners, and more or
less Injury to 18 others. Twenty miners,
all convicts, were In the slope near the
airshaft at 2:30 this morning, when they
detected the smell of smoke. Soon after
ward an immense volume of It came
toward them from the engine-room,
which was between the airshaft and the
cage leading out of the mine. The engine
usually contains no fire, but is used to
pump compressed air Into the mines, hence
the origin of the fire, which started in the
engine-room, is a mystery. Driven by
smoke, the men hurried to the airshaft,
and there huddled together to keep from
suffocating. Meanwhile the smoke be
came thicker as the fire Issuing from the
engine-room seized seven trams and a lot
of waste and burned furiously. Breathing
became extremely difficult. Twenty-three
mules in the mines also felt the smoke,
and made night hideous with their cries.
John Patton and Louis Stevens finally
left the crowd at the airshaft and tried
to reach the cageshaft. They were after
ward found dead near the engine-room.
One of the men had his head almost
beaten to a pulp. Indicating that he had
tried to kill himself rather than suffocate
to death. Smoke seen issuing from the
shaft brought help by way of the cage,
and in three hours the fire was out, and
the 18 miners at the airshaft were brought
up in a more or less serious condition
from suffocation.

AFTER THE SESSIOX
THE OREGON PENITENTIARY STOVE
FOUNDRY QUESTION.
In the Closing Boors of the Legis
lature Majority and Minority Re
ports Were Submitted.
SALEM. Feb. 24. Among the acts of
the legislature's closing hours was the
submission of the majority and minority
reports on the stove-factory question.
There was very little difference in the two
reports, except that Senator Cogswell's
minority report went into the subject
more fully. It was as follows:
"The undersigned, a member of your
committee, appointed under senate reso
lution No. 10, to consider and report upon
the following extracts from the message
of Governor Lord
" 'It Is never wise for a state to buy an
enterprise which prudent men are anxio'is
to get rid of. There Is an impression
among some of our people that the pur
chase of the foundry plant and its oper
ation with convict labor has not been pro
ductive of profit or advantage to the
state. The idea is that 'an elephant was
unloaded upon the state. I trust there is
no foundation for such impression, but
that facts will disclose that the foundry
has been successfully and profitably op
erated, furnishing regular employment for
convicts, and making the penitentiary, In
a great measure, a self-sustaining Insti
tution. It Is your duty to ascertain what
is the true state of the case. '
begs leave to submit the following re
port: "The foundry at the penitentiary has
been In operation during the past 20
monthswlthsatlsfactoryresults, and after
a careful examination of the plant, stock,
books and the methods employed by
Superintendent R. B. Fleming, who has
been acting under the supervision of the
governor, secretary of state and stale
treasurer, as a board of managers, I find
that the institution has been well man
aged, and while it has not been made as
profitable as when operated under the
contract system, on account of the gen
eral business depression, It has given em
ployment to a large number of the con
victs, and thus served the principal pur
pose for which it Is maintained by the
state.
"The plant is in excellent condition and
is worth more than when the state pur
chased it, as there have been added thereto
over $7000 In new patterns, machinery and
improvements.
"These additions and improvements are
considered as more than offselting any
depreciation on account of wear during
the 20 months of operation.
"After a careful examination of the re
port of the board of managers in con
nection with an investigation of the
foundry plant, books, etc., I find that
said report is correct with the exception
of the method used in computing the
'value of manufactured goods on hand'
in exhibit B, as the inventory of man
ufactured goods on hand should be at the
actual cost and not the computed selling
value.
"The stock on hand at actual cost shows
as follows:
Stoves and ranges, 444.16S lbs., at
3 cents $13,525 01
Sets stove castings, S9S8 lbs., at 3
cents 419 64
Hollow ware, 26,153 lbs., at 3 cents. 785 04
Miscellaneous castings, 182,306 lbs.,
at 3 cents 5,469 IS
Miscellaneous supplies 3.1S9 93
Pig iron '. 619 50
Fuel, coke and wood 903 07
Cost of manufactured goods and
stock on hand $24,717 45
The total sales amount to 42,006 88
Making a total merchandise credit
of $66,724 33
"The total cost of materials and supplies
being $39,406 41, leaves the gross profits at
$27,317 92; deducting the amount expended
for labor, salaries, etc., $14,S60 61, gives
net profits at cost, $12,457 31.
"It is a well-known fact that during the
past two years but very few manufac
turing enttrprlses have been conducted
with much profit, while many have suc
cumbed to the general depression.
"That the foundry has not only been self
supporting, but has a cash balance of
$4S38 15 and outstanding accounts receiv
able of $12,604 15, speaks well for the man
agement and shows it to be a profitable
Institution for the state.
"As to whether the state paid more for
the plant than should have been paid, I
am not sufficiently advised to give an
opinion.
"If such was the case, the fault lies with
the law which compels the governor, sec
retary' of state and state treasurer to pur
chase this identical plant, and as they
had no discretion In the matter, but were
obliged to make the purchase whether it
was offered for a reasonable price or not,
the wonder is that the owners did not
compel them to pay the entire sum of
$65,000, which was appropriated."
Owing to the confusion of the closing
hours of the joint assembly, the account
of the last ballot was not strictly ac
curate. At the time the ballot was com
pleted Dolph had received 30 votes and
McBride 42. The first one to change his
vote then was Representative Smith of
Polk, then Templeton, then Bridges.
This made McBride 45, the number neces
sary to a choice. Several members then
clamoring for recognition and asking that
their votes be changed, Paxton Jumped
upon his desk and moved that the votes
of all the republican members be counted
for McBride. This motion was carried,
and President Simon so ordered it. The
error in yesterday's report consisted in
the list of members who declined to
change to McBride and does those mem
bers an injustice. All changed as soon
as an opportunity was afforded.

resignation to Governor Turner and ask
for an honorable discharge. The reason
Is that the legislature last week, Instead
of making an appropriation to sustain the
guard, appropriated only $20,000 for the

LOSSES OF LIFE AT SEA
Full Results of the Last Storm Not
Yet Kno'wn.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24. The losses
of life at sea this winter have been great
er than during any corresponding period
within the recollection of the oldest shlp
plngmen. The local underwriters cannot
attempt at this time to figure out just
what number of policies they will have to
pay, as It Is contended that the full and
worst results of the recent storm have
not yet come to light. It is a pitiable
sight to stand at the entrance gate to the
Maritime Exchange, as the doorkeepers
are besieged by anxious wives and other
relatives of seamen who went to sea pre
vious to the great storm of the 7th inst.,
and have not yet been heard from. Rela
tives of Captain. Oliver, of the schooner
Emma Myers, which sailed from Charles
ton 14 days ago and has not since been
heard from, are almost prostrated with
grief, for they believe the vessel has
foundered and eight lives lost. January
29, the three-masted schooner Marooshen,
Captain F. S. Brown, manned by a crew
of seven men, sailed from, this port, bound
for Wiscasset, Me., but since then no
tidings of her have been had, and It is
thought likely she, too, met with the gale
of the 7th inst., and foundered with all
hands. Nothing has been heard from the
schooner Governor Ames, which sailed
from Salem early in the month for Phila
delphia and Baltimore. She has a crew of
nine men. The family of Captain Dall
ing, of the Philadelphia schooner Dalllng,
which was passed at sea the 13th Inst.,
abandoned, waterlogged and with masts
gone, have not heard from him. Friends
of the crew are becoming extremely
anxious. Many other vessels are missing,
and some have no doubt foundered in the
same gale.
Man-of-Wnr Lost at Sea.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 24. Anxiety is
felt In regard to the Mexican man-of-war
Libertad, which sailed from Vera Cruz
February 15. Nothing has been heard ot
her since leaving port. She carried a
crew of 50 men. Heavy north winds have
been prevailing lately and it is thought
she has foundered.
After the Elbe's Malls.
LONDON, Feb. 24. The North German
Lloyd Steamship Company has engaged
nine divers to attempt to recover the

The vessel lies in water 120 feet deep, and
two or three mail bags from her have
been washed ashore on' the English coast.
The estimated value of the mall is $90,000.
Besides wages, the company has allotted
the sum of $2500 for the recovery of valu
ables in the steamer.

RIVAL PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
Editorial Comment Upon the New
York Sun's Attack Upon Mr. Noyes.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24. The Brooklyn
Eagle says: The New York Sun of Fri
day contained an editorial article on the
Associated Press. It vigorously praised
the United Press. The Associated Press
does not belong to the Sun. Its zeal for
its own organization is natural. Its sor
row or anger, or both, at what it regards
as the bankruptcy and mismanagement,
the misfortunes and the sins of the rival
organization, may perhaps be due to genu
ine benevolence and honest sympathy.
The Eagle has belonged to the United
Press and belongs now to the Associated
Press. There was an old Quaker who, on
his deathbed, said:
"My son, honesty is the best policy. I
know, because I have tried both."
The Eagle has tried both associations.
It likes the Associated Press better than
It did the United Press. With other mem
bers of the Associated Press, the Eagle
is satisfied with the management of its
directors and its business conditions. The
Eagle was not satisfied with the experi
ence with the United Press, and withdrew
from it. The declarations In the Sun have
attracted the attention of F. B. Noyes, of
the Washington Star, since some of them
directly dealt with him. He announces his
intention at once to force a judicial test
of the Sun's accusations against him on
the line and in the light .of the actual
facts in the case. The Eagle's experience
with Mr. Noyes has been such as to indi
cate that he is a thoroughly honest di
rector, as well as an excellent, kindly and
friendly man.
One of the Oldest Papers Printed.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 24. The American
says: While professing to advocate the
claims of the United Press, to which it be
longs, the New York Sun went out of its
way to make a most undignified and
wicked assault upon the personal charac
ter of F. B. Noyes, the energetic, capa
ble and popular manager of the Washing
ton Evening Star. The Associated Press,
of which Mr. Noyes Is a director, and
which also furnishes the telegraphic news
to the readers of the American, has so
completely distanced its opposition that
the Sun, which is the most prominent
member of that opposition, has grown
frantic and its editor has forgotten his
dignity. He is bolting against the air,
however, in his rage, and made a colossal
mistake in choosing for his target a man
who stands so high in the newspaper fra
ternity and in the esteem of the commu
nity in which he lives. A man of sterling
Integrity, as well as of unusual ability,
Mr. Noyes has no occasion to institute
proceedings against the Sun to vindicate
his character. The suit which he declares
it Is his purpose to bring, however, may
have the effect of deterring the Sun from
a repetition of its reckless utterances.

SULLIVAN AND HIS JAG.
The Ex-Champion Continues His
Spree In Jacksonville.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.. Feb. 24. John
L. Sullivan today continued his drunken
carousal in this city and was a conspicu
ous figure at various saloons. He made
trips in an iopen barouche, accompanied
by several sporting friends, and crowds of
the curious followed him. Sullivan was
bitter against the newspapers for the
notoriety he has received. He says he
has been greatly misrepresented, mean
while he continues to spend his money
freely for drink and shows no signs of
letting up. He declares he has pawned
his watch and diamonds to assist his
company during the past few weeks, when
they played to small houses. Most of the
members of the company will leave for
New York on the steamer tomorrow.
Some have money that they saved. Miss
Armstrong, a member of the company,
had Sullivan's trunks attached for $120,
which she claimed to be due her for
wages.
Not Like Sullivnn.
SAVANNAH, Ga., Feb. 21. There is
some reason to believe that Sullivan's
recent escapade in Florida was a premedi
tated affair, and not the result of blind
yielding to a passion for drink. Sullivan
stated when here that he would probably
not go any further than Jacksonville with
his company. The thing had been a fail
ure from the start, and he was tired of
being "old hog." He had lost about $6000
already, he said. The play did not take,
and he realized that his company was
not composed of actors. Hence, it is be
lieved here that Sullivan's drunk, though
genuine, was merely a ruse to shake the
crowd he had with him. Sullivan said
that he Intended, as soon as his engage
ment was completed, to go to the North
ern part of Africa, where he would spend
some time getting his system in shape
and, he intimated, training for his next
battle. '
CARVER 'AND LORIS.
Every Probability of it Match Be
tween the Two Cracks.
CHICAGO, Feb. 24. Dr. W. F. Carver,
the famous rifle shot, in reply to the chal
lenge of John Loris, the English cham
pion rifle and revolver shot, who offered
to shoot with rifle and revolver against
Carver for $1000 and the championship of
the world, says:
"I am not an expert with the revolver,
nor a trick rifle shot, but if Loris wants
to arrange a match to shoot at objects
with the rifle I will arrange a match to
shoot at 1000 or 2000 glass balls, or blocks
of wood or coal, for $1500 or $2500 a side,
and I will agree to shoot the match in
England if Loris will allow expenses."
There is every probability of a match
being consummated, as Loris is eager for
a contest.

The first Indications of a wasting vital force,

total collapse of all sexual and mental vigor
in a few years. It Is dangerous to treat this
symptom with indifference, to suppose that It
means nothing; It means a great deal. It is
the forewarning of complete exhaustion that 13

excesses and over-exertion of mental, physical
or sexual powers. It means Uiat you are begin

It should urge prompt action. Effective means
of checking the waste and restoring the power
lost can be found In electricity. Vital force,

Don't you think you are missing the best part
of your life by living It In misery, through tho.
want of that which makes life a pleasure?
"My sexual strength is gaining every day.

It is a modern remedy, up to date, and cures
when the old ideas fall.
Simple! As simple as two and two. It is
electricity. "Electricity Is life." It Is nerve
force. By excesses or errors you waste nerve

Even electricity is useless If not intelligently

Cheap, clumsily made electric belts are like
