The loss Is estimated all the way from I200.0W to X,K. No lives were lost, but the excitement and worry over work and smoke nearly proved fatal m several cases. Many people lost all their possessions, eaving only what they had on their backs. The fire started In the upper story of the Lakeview House, and its origin is a mystery. When discovered, about S o'clock Tuesday evening, it was under considerable headway, and there was no possible chance to save the building or , contents. A Republican jollification meet, lng was in progress in the opera-house 'at the time. The meeting had been called to order, and the band was playing, when Marshal Whorten entered the hall and eaJd: "Ladles and gentlemen, please keep your seats and don't get excited. There ie a, fire up town." i -The Are bell had only rung a few taps, jbut -that was while the band "was playing, land none in the hall had heard it. The leathering was a large one, and it was hard to keep the people quiet and In or jder. However, none was hurt in getting lout, and the good work of fighting fire J was soon begun. Following is the loss and insurance, as Jtiear as can be estimated: . -George H. Ayrea, general merchandise; floss, $12,000; Insurance, $10,000.

Bids "Will Be Called For Soon Tinder the $15,000 Appropriation. SALEM, Or., May 24. Governor Geer has decided to call for bids for the erec tion of a new wing at the Penitentiary, for which $15,000 vsas appropriated by the last Legislature. Tho plans now in course of preparation contemplate a structure three stories high, the first floor to be used as a kitchen, the second as a dining room, and the third as a hosepital and placo for tho Incarceration of female convicts. As at present arranged, the kitchen is under the chapel, and the pris oners are fed In their cells. Governor Geer has been studying the needs of the institution, and recently vis ited tho California Stite Prison to inves tigate tho arrangement of the depart ments there. Hsvlng the kitchen in the 'basement, as at present, makes the dan- .J-SuTldlng catch Are in the kitchen, the "whole structure would probably be de stroyed. The Oregon Penitentiary Is the only one. without a dining-room for the prisoners. The new kitchen will be so ar I ranged that the cooking can bo done with .steam from the boiler, thus effecting a saving in fueL At present there Is no bathroom, and itho prisoners, over 300 in number, bathe (in five wooden tubs. The improvements . contemplate a shower bathroom in which 38 prisoners may bathe at once. Tho plans will be drawn with a view , to making tho cost come within tho appro tpriatlon, and if the bids do not come within the appropriation, no contract will be lot. Hops and Hopcrovrcrs. A mass meeting of hopgrowers of the "Willamette Valley ia to be held at Salem "tomorrow to consider a plan for concerted action In limiting the production of hops to the demand. Tho call for the meeting requested that delegates be chosen in the local districts to meet with the directors of tho Oregon Hopgrowers' Association, hut, so far as can be learned, no meet ings have been held to select delegates. All growers are invited to be present. The plan suggested is that the growers sign a mutual contract agreeing to destroy or lcavo unpicked a portion of their hops if It shall bo determined that there will otherwise be an oversupply. The present outlook is that there will be no need to leave hops unpicked in or der to limit the supply to the demand. According to reports received by tho offi cers of the association, the acreage in all of the hop-producing states is being di minished while few new yards are being pot out. This applies particularly to New York, and It has been evident for some time that there will be a material reduc tion of the acreage in Oregon. The officers of the association have had few sales to report lately, and at price? ranging from 4 to 5 cents. They are con fident, however, of being able to dispose of the bulk of their holdings before the new crop comes on tho market. Reports from Eastern markets state that dealers ex pect every merchantable bale of 1599 hops to be called for in the next six months. Owing to the damage suffered from the mold, it is difficult to determine what proportion of the hops now in the hands of the association will pass as "mer chantable" hops. Officers of the assocl at.cn decline to state the number of bales of hops now on hand. Exorcises nt Blind School. The annual closing exercises of the Oregon State School for the Blind took p!ace this evening, in the school chapel. Owing to a lack of rooci, only the mem bers of the board of trustees and people directly Interested in "ducat!ona! worK wen Invited to be present. The pro gramme consisted principally of recita tions, readings, and vocal and Instru mental music A dumb-bell' drill by five beys, and a wreath drill by five girls wero special features that scre specially com reerded. There are now 27 pupils enrolled in the school, with 25 in attendance. For Cape Xomc Miner. Some time ago Governor Geer wrote to Representative Moody, asking him to use his influence to have the Alaska coce bill so framed as to leave to the miners tho making of rules regarding beach min ing. A response was received today, from which the following is an extract: "I -had occasion to take this question up with Chairman Warner, who has in charga the Alaska bill, which is now being dis cussed before the House, and bo told me that the bill provided Just what you recommended, namely, thai the claims and mining of the Cape rorne beach was left to the miners associations of Alaska; that the dredging there was under the di rection of the Secretary of "War, with au thority to grand permtls. but no exclusive rights. "With these two exceptions, beach mining and dredging, the mining laws of the United States are extended to Alaska. I will send you a copy of the bill as amend ed by the House committee -of revision of laws. I do not anticipate that there will be any material change during the discus sion in the House, which should terminate some time next week, if after receiving the bill you find there are any sections encroaching upon the rights of our citi zens, advise me promptly, and I will un dertake to have them rectified." Large Sevrcr Contract. A. Gesner, of this city, left this after noon for Everett. Wash., where the firm of Paquette & Gesner has a contract to build 11 miles of sewers. Mr. Gesner says the work will probably be begun next Monday, and will be completed about No vember 1. According to the terms of the contract, tho city Is to furnish the ma terials, and the contractors do the work, receiving $19,170 therefor. They expect to employ 40 to CO men, and the lowest wages paid will be $1 SO per day. Capital City Brcrltiea. State Treasurer Moore today received a remittance of $3948 S7 from Coos County, which was supposed to pay that county's 1SS0 state tax in full. Apportion of the sum was remitted In the shape of state scalp bounty fund warrants, but as there are no funds available for the payment of the warrants, they could not be accept ed as payment, and were returned. The rule is that the Treasury Department wLl accept any outstanding: warrants that could be cashed if presented for payment by the holder. Even though funds might bo available, if the warrants arc outstand ing and have not been called, they will not bo accepted in payment of state taxes.

Loss of Fishermen's Property "Was Heavy Canneries "Will Supply Xctt yets to the Men. ASTORIA, May 24. It is almost impos sible yet to correctly estimate the loss due to yesterday's storm. Eleven men are trussing, according to the rolls of the Seamen's Union, and of these three are known to have been drowned. It Is pos sible that the remaining eight men suc ceeded in reaching shore from their cap sized boats at points where they have been unable to communicate with their friends. The property loss to the fishermen has been heavy; not only have their nets, worth on an average 5300 each, been lost, but nearly every boat had 525 to JlflO worth of supplies aboard. Over 20 nets were recovered from the river yesterday. The, damage to boats will, of course, fall upon the various canning companies which own them. Yesterday the canneries notified the fishermen registered with them that new nets would be provided until such time as the men could mako good the losses. The work of the llfesavlng crews of Fort Stevens and Cape Disappointment Is said to have been the most daring service ever rendered on the Columbia River. Severe gtorra at Sea. PORT TOWNSEND, "Wash.. May 2A. The steamship "Walla Walla arrived this evening from San Francisco, and reports the severest storm for many years along the Coast of Oregon and Washington. While off the Columbia River, seas were breaking over her stern with such vio lence that oil was used, but did not keep tho sea from sweeping the vessel. The captain also reports that several vessels were sighted off Gray's Harbor, labor ing heavily, among which was a steam schooner. Fear Damage to StocU at Sea. SEATTLE. May 24. It Is feared that the otorm of yesterday will have done great damage to the livestock on the many ships that have cleared for Nome, and are now out on the open ocean. No uneasi ness hi felt for the safety of any of the ships that are at sea, as it was far from being severe enough to damage the fleet, but simply on account of the damage that will bo done to livestock by the rolling of he shira. Steamer Conld Xot Land. INDEPENDENCE, Or.. May 24. One of the hardest wind storms of the season raged In this city all day yesterday, and, owing to the dry weather of several days, something of a sand storm was the result.

Mrs. A. A. Petty, of Fallons. between Palouse and Pullman, has filed a complaint in the Superior Court against C. W. Tracy, the Portland grain buyer; G. W. Ford, h's agent at Pullman; the Second National Bank, of Colfax; Levi Archibald, manager of the He!stand-War-ner warehouse, at Fallons, and Charles DeFrance, Tracy's agent at Colfax. The complaint alleges that during the Fall of 1S99 Mrs. Petty stored 4721 bushels of wheat at the Helstand-Warner warehouse at Fallons. In a special pile, and seven receipts were issued for the wheat. Ten days ago, Mre. Petty agreed with C. W. Tracy by and through his agent at Pull man, G. W. Ford, that Tracy ehould ship all of the wheat to Portland for storage on Mre. Petty s account, upon condition that Tracy should advance to her 51300, and hold the grain In Portland In her name and account. She then delivered to Tracy and Ford all the warehouse re ceipts. It is alleged that Tracy and Ford fraud ulently alleged to Mrs. Petty that they had funds In the F.rst National Bank, of Pullman, and that they Issued her a -check for 51300. the sum to be advanced, upon this bank. It was signed by G. W. Ford, agent. It is averred that the check was Issued with fraudulent intent and to de fraud Mrs. Petty. When the check was. presented to the bank for payment It was refused for want of fund.. It Is asserted that Tracy, Ford and De France unlawfully, and with design to de fraud Mrs. Petty, transferred the wheat receipts to the Second National Bank, of Colfax, and that the bank received them as collateral security foi pre-existing .n debtedness due the bank from Tracy, and that no value of any kind was paid by the bank for them. It Is alleged that Tracy 1 insolvent and utterly unable to re spend in damages; that defendants threat en to and will remo'e the wheat from Whitman County unless restrained by the court, and that Mrs. Potty's damage will be Irreparable, and a restraining order was asked for. Judge McDonald upon this showing granted an order prohibiting the shipping of the wheat, and defendants are cited to appear on June 4, and show cause why the restraining order should not be made perpetual. Farmers In the vicinity of Fallons are much worked up over the matter, ,and announced prior to the serving of the restraining order that an attempt to ship the wheat would meet with armed resist ance at their hands. The plaintiff In the action is a widow, and tho wheat in Ques tion is the earnings of herself and farm during the past five years, which she was saving for the purpose of paying off a mortgage on her farm. The apportionment of school moneys to the 151 school districts of Whitman Coun ty, just completed by Superintendent S. C Roberts, is the largest by far ever mado for one quarter in th.s county. The total amount is 541,745 75527.263 0 being from the state funds and 51MS1 SS from county funds. The largest amount apportioned to any one district is 541C9 CO, drawn by tho Colfax district, and the smallest amount is 5110 10. ROGERS WILL BE REXOMIXATED. So Says His Chief Politician Recent Flpht Had Xo Bcarinnr. NORTH YAKIMA May 21. Hon. H. J. Snively. member of the State Board o Audit and Control, and the man who It popularly supposed to be the master po"I tlcian of Governor Rogers' forces, does net think that anything transpired at the Spokane convention last Saturday which can be looked upon aa threatening to the THE Wi Change of life. "What will that change bring to me ? Will it see me living in dreams of a Tiappy past, a healthy woman who has given to the world fair daughters and strong sons? Or will it see me only the woman who was; a moaning invalid, a burden to those I love, broken of body and miserable of mind ? The pertinency of those questions to every woman lies in the fact that few of them pass through this period of functional change without suffering both physically and mentally- Like so much of womanly suffering, this, too, is accepted unavoidable penalty which the pay to nature. This view of suffering is a gross on nature, whose every season has charm,' and who "hath made all things beautiful in their time." in a healthy condition there should be no suffering for women at this period of change. When there is suffering; when the body is in pain, and the mind is clouded by jealous ies or darkened by fears, it is generally because the womanly organism is diseased and the nervous force exhausted. It is at this crisis that the great medi cine for women, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription, .proves- its value anew. This medicine, which helps the maid, wife and mother, will carry the woman safely and happily through, this crit ical period of chanee. It will preserve her from the chronic inva lidism which claims so many victims at this pe-, riod of functional change. It will give her'physical strength, tranquil nerves, sound sleep, and a nealthy appetite. A Wasn&sz's RecQsnsneEH" Sirs. M. Barnes, of Balls Ferry, Slias ta Co., Cal., writes: "My physician said -I -was suffering from the effects of 'change of life I had heart disease, uterine trouble, and rheumatism. My head -was so dizzy I could hardly stand. "When"! began to use Dr. Pierce's medi cines I improved right along. I took seven or eight bot tles of the Favorite Prescription,' a teaspoonfnl three times a day, and the Pleasant Pellets ' at night I feel as well as I ever did. I take great pleasure in recom mending Dr. Pierce's medicines to suffering women. I think they-are the best medicines in the world. I can't say enough in their praise. The '" Favorite Prescription ' cared me after I "had "been so sick for two years that I was hardly able to be about." The greatest advertisers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription are the women who have used it and proved its remarkable power to cure womanly diseases. The testimony of a weak woman who has been made strpng, or a sick, woman who has been made well, by the use of "Fa vorite Prescription," is something real and tanpnble. It is not like the i t.i.t. -u,.u piumiscs uj luic wmui uc ucui certain class of advertisements. It is not prophecy, but history. When some woman safs to a sister in suffering: "I know that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will help you, because it helped me ; because it cured my diseases and banished my pains," the woman who hears the testimony instantly seizes hold of the fact that there is help and healing right within her reach. 6 Ssisfo a WonsBsrifesB fgeaa,?'

Mr. Snively said today: "There are no grounds' whatever for looking upon the defeat of Hart at the Spokane convention as a blow to the Gov ernors There was no such alignment of forces as has been claimed. Governor Rogers had warm friends o'n the delega tion that was seated, and many of his supporters votSd for the Godwin peop.e for reasons of their own. I don't th nk the Governor's Interests Were Involved In tho contest. The reason Lee Hart was downed was that he wanted to be Na tional cohinutteeman. The Democrats of this state were opposed to that. "Governor Rogers stands -well with the DemocraUc .party, and he will be nomi nated to succeed himself at the next con ventlon. I will go farther and say that there will be- no serIousjoppos!Uon to him In the convention. He will be nominated by acclamation " Asked what he thought of the sugges tion that Colonel Xwls might be a can didate for Governor, he said that' he believed Colonel Lewis meant what he said when he wrote to Chairman Maloney tr-at he would not be a candidate for any office this Fall. "In any event." said Mr. Snively, "he will not want to be a can didate for Governor, if he is forced to accept any place on the ticket it will be as a candidate for Congressman." Concerning Fawcett's boom, 2Ir. Snively said that It would not be a serious prob lenf before the nominating convention. "If Mr. Fawce.tt gets the Pierce County dele gation away from Governor Rogers he will do more than he was able to do for this convention, and more than I think he can do. Even If he gets Pierce County he will have nothing else, while the Gover nor will have enthusiastic supporters on the delegations from all other counties of the s$ate." SHERIFF HAS SET A "WATCH.

There is much interest here in the caee. Mr."'' Handy resided here several years, and had a wide circle of friends. When he disappeared he was 4S years of age, and still a strong man. Nearly all his life he had lived in a cold country, and was ac customed to life in the snow. Thfo knowl edge has a tendency to encourage those acquainted with the facts to a belief that when Handy disappeared, December 30, 1S3S. he might -ave weathered the severe snow storm that prevailed then and af terwards, escaping only with the delirium that seems to be characteristic of the er ratic stranger In the vicinity of Falls City. NORTHWEST DEAD. 3Ir. X. E. Honaeolder, Lom? a Resi dent of Benton County. MONROE. Or., May 23. Yesterday, at her home west of Monroe, Mrs. X. E. Houseolder died from cancer of the stom ach.

ASTORIA, May 2L Domingo Bezzerich, boatman for the state health officer and an old-time Columbia River fisherman, was found dead in his bed about 10 o'clock this morning. The. cause of his death was heart disease, with which he had been suffering for some time. Last evening 'AN WHO time of change of life, aad I have been sick a good deal, off and on. When Mrs. Hemmis moved beside me I was sick in ted, and when she came to see me and we were talking over the sickness, Mrs. Hemmis told me to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and 4 Golden Medical Discovery and also Pellets.' I got her to bring me a bottle of each from, the drug store, and I used them. They did .me. a great deal of good, and I got two more bottles of ' Favorite Prescription That made three bottles of ' Prescription two of 4 Discovery and two of ' Pellets I never saw such a wonderful care. Before I commenced your remedies 1 was good for nothing. I had. to send my washing out for I was not able to do it. Then I got worse and had to get a girl to do my work.
