As the result of an explosion of giant powder Sunday night, ignited by an over turned lamp, the home of William Chec vor, near Klkton, was blown to frag ments, and the family buried in the ruins. Mr. Cheever was very badly injured. Without knowledge of their parent?, two little sons had carried the powder into the house from a near-by point,, where excavation is in progress for a liinnel on the lino 'of the Drain-Coos Buy Railroad. The boys had deposited the powder under their bed in a room in the upper story of the house. AYhile en gaged in a friendly scuffle in the room, tliey knocked over a lighted lamp, scat tering blazing kerosene all over the floor. Fully realizing what would happen the instant the blaze touched the powder, the boys Immediately fled downstairs, and alarmed the rest of the family. Hardly hud they done so when Nie explosion oc curred. Mr. Cheever was blown fully 50 feet away, and his wife, the two boys and three other children were buried in the debris of the collapsing house. Neither Mrs. Cheevers nor any of the children were injured beyond a few slight scratches, but Mr. Chc-ever did not fare so well. He was badly bruised about the body and his face was so severely lacer ated that he Is temporarily deprived of his eyesight. The loss Is about $150. The explosion was heard five miles away.

An un known woman, whose home is said to be in Portland, attempted to take a dose of carbolic acid on the street in this city last evening. While, walking with a com panion on Washington street, near Fifth, the woman suddenly drew a small vial i'rom her pocket and attempted to swal low the contents. The bottle was knocked from her hand by her companion before It had more than touched her lips. The woman was hurried away by her com panion before being recognized by any of the bystanders, and nothing could be found either of her identity or the cause of the attempt. There was nothing on the bottle to indicate where it had been secured. Apparently none of the acid was swallowed, as the woman exhibited no signs of suffering. Knees for tlic Land Office. NORTH BEND, Or., Nov. 17. (Special.) The" announcement by the land depart ment that contest filings would be re ceived in a number of Indian allotment claims has caused many horee races from points In Curry County to the Land Of lice In Roseburg.

WALLA WALLA, "Wash.. Nov. 17. (Spe cial.) In a slow but hard-fought and in teresting game, the football team of Whit man College defeated the boys from the University of Idaho on Ankeny Field this afternoon by a score of 6 to 5. In the first live minutes of play Idaho scored a touchdown, and it looked as if the Mis sionaries were doomed to be defeated by a large score, but they rallied after the kickoff following the touchdown . and crossed Idaho's goal a few minutes later. Idaho having failed to kick goal, the Whltmanltes went wild when Philbrook, their big guard, booted the pigskin .squarely over the bar between the posts. Both teams then took a brace and no moio scoring was done in either half. The game was very spectacular, the ten-yard rule making it necessary to frequently at tempt end runs, forward passes, quarter Iwick kicks and punts. Koth teams made yardage several times. Whitman having the best of it in tills particular. Idaho had much the advan tage in the punting, but was unable to go through it opponent's line. The forward passes by both teams were the special features of the game, which gave the ap pearance of a basket-ball performance. Idaho's touchdown was made by straight, hard football, the Whitman boys apparently having stage fright at the first. Whitman scored iti three downs af ter a long run by Borlesky. who broke through the line and got the ball on a fumble, carried to within ten yards of Idaho's goal. THIRD I1LXT CLUB' CHASE. Mr. and Mrs. Albert C'roniit ' Lead Riders Over Puzzling Course. The third closed paper chase of the 1'ortland Hunt Club was held yesterday, and in spite of the rain a large number were out. Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose Cronln were the hares, and led the riders over a rough and puzzling course. The start was made at the Junction of Portland Heights "and Council Crest car lines, and the finish was on the Tlaardvllle road near Fulton Park. The course extended over seven miles, with ten jumps. Three of the jumps were water Jumps, which were new to the horses, but all the mounts took them without trouble. If the Portland Hunt Club continues to Improve", experts say, in a few more oaons it will be equal to the famous Chevy Chase Club, of Washington. Emmett Drake finished first, with F. O. Downing second and Miss Mabel Law rence third. John Latta acted as master of fox hounds. Those participating in the ride are: F. O. Downing, John t'ogdan. W. A. Cumming. John Latta. Kmmctt Drake. TV.

Early Morning Blaze Hums Big Hos telry to the Ground With Total Loss of $ HO, 000. GOLD Fl EL.D, Nev., Nov. 17. (Special.) Three persons are believed to have been cremated alive and several others more or less injured in a fierce fire that destroyed the Hotel Goldfield shortly after 6 o'clock this morning. Seventy-five guests had to Jump from the windows of the burning structure for their lives. The missing, who are undoubtedly dead, are: Judge James M. Ellis, ex-City Attorney and Police Magistrate. Denver. Colo. Mrs. Boellier, residence unknown. A. H. Heber, of A. H. Heber & Co.. in vestment brokers, Goldfield. Among the Injured are: C. D. Young, of Los Angeles and San Francisco; capitalist. 3. B. Woods. Spokane, Wash. The loss Incurred by the burning of the hotel, which was a wooden structure. Is J140.000; insurance, between 130,000 and Sil, 000. A fierce cold wind blew while the fire was In progress, and for a time it was thought that the entire residence section of the town, toward which the flames were carried in sheets, would be de stroyed. The hotel was three stories high, and so rapidly did the fire spread that within 30 minutes after It was discovered the building was practically in ashes. A search of the ruins disclosed the remains of several human bodies, but they were so badly burned that identification was impossible. Judge Ellis was a member of the broker age firm of Marshall, Ellis & Co. He re tired early last night feeling ill. None of those In the missing list has been seen to day, despite vigoroui search for them by friends. That they perished is practically beyond all doubt. He Goes to Jail; Good Joke on Wife William Tegmyre, 70 Year Old and Drunk, Chuckles About Playing Trick on Hia Better Half. . f T'S SUCH a good joke on my wife," I said William Tegmyre, aged 70 years, when he was brought to the City Jail last evening and lodged in a cell. "Oh, it's such a good joke on her. For 40 years I've lived with her, and she has called me vile names, shaken her finger in my face and defied me, but now I'm In Jail: oh, it's such a joke on her." While he was making these remarks, Tegmyre, who was pretty much intoxi cated, laughed Heartily. He was arrest ed at his home. East Thirty-first and Eas,t Everett streets, on -a charge of being drunk and disorderly. The station officers were unable, however, to understand how the joke was on Mrs. Tegmyre, when it was Tegmyre who went to jail. , LOSES MONEY ON OPTION Mrs. Merrill Must Carry Out Agree ment to Sell, Says Court. A suit in the Circuit Court which clearly shows the rapid rise In value of Portland real estate was decided yesterday by Judge Frazer in ' favor of Hexter & Strass and against Mrs. Sarah A. Merrill. By the decision Mrs. Merrill will be compelled to sell her property at Park and Morrison streets for $50,000. the price stipulated in a contract which she entered into one year ago. As the property has in creased about $25,000 in value since that time It will practically mean a loss to Mrs. Merrill of that amount. Tho property, which consists of a single lot and three-story, frame build ing at the northwest corner of Park and Morrison, was leased last year by Mrs. Merrill to Hexter & Strass for five years, she giving them an option to purchase during that time for $50, 000. In the meantime the lessses agreed to make certain improvements in the property. Mrs. Merrill brought suit to break the lease, alleging that Hexter &' Strass had violated the terms of the contract by failing to make the changes stipulated. Judge Frazer. however, was convinced, that the contract per mitted that these improvements be made at any time during the term of the lease, and therefore ruled, that the owner must sell at the figure agreed upon. When the property was leased it was considered that $50,000 Tas a very fair valuation. So rapidly have values increased along Morrison street, as well as in other parts of the city, how ever, that the lot would be snapped up without delay If it were now put on the market at $50,000. As the prop erty will doubtless continue to rise is value it will probably reach a much higher figiwe before the option held by Hexter & Strass expires. Will Open New Station. The Oregon Water Power & Rail way Company has, decided to es tablish a new station on the Estacada branch at the Sellwood Woolen Mills in December. It will be for the accommoda tion of the operatives and the neighbor hood generally. Beware of Irequent Colds. A succession of colds or a protracted cold is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh, from which few persons ever wholly recover. Give every cold the at tention it deserves and you may avoid this ulsagreeaDie aisease. now can you cure a cold? Whv not try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy? It Is highly recommend ed as a cure for colds. Mrs. M. White, of Butler, Tenn., says: "Seeral years ago I was bothered with my throat and lungs. Someone told me of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. I began using It and it relieved me at once. I used It for some time and it cured me. Now my throat and lungs are sound and well." For sale by all druggists. JETHOU Big Norwegian Tramp Comes for Lumber. Cargo. SHIP ENJOYS FAIR VOYAGE Commander of Vessel Was Formerly Master of Well-Known Tramp Norman Isles She Is Berthed at Inman-Poulsen Mill. The Norwegian steamship Jethou, Captain Peterson, arrived up from As toria yesterday and berthed at the Inman-Poulsen mill. She is six days from Kan- Pedro, where she unloaded a cargo of cement from Antwerp. On tiie way up the coast the Jethou encountered the prevailing gale, but her progress was not materially re taideJ, and she reached the Columbia River after being six days on the way. The storm held her off the bar for 2 hours before she was able to make the harbor." She will commence loading: lumber for the Pacific Export Lum ber Company today, as It is desirable to give her the speediest dispatch pos sible. "Our voyage from Europe was un eventful," said Captain Peterson, "for we encountered nothing unusual in the way of storms and made the trip in 73 days. This is good time for such a large vessel, and so is our time to the Columbia River. W'e reached the lightship off the latter point last Wed nesday, but were unable to cross in until the next day. On the voyage out we stopped four days at Coronet for coal, which was another source of delay. Wre have arrived without any mishap and naturally are well pleased." Captain Peterson has made several voyages to this city in the past, the last of which was while in command of the Norwegian steamship Norman Isles. The captain states that the Norman Isles is a smaller vessel than his present command, which Is capa ble of carrying: near) 1,000,009 more feet of lumber than ii the vessel which recently left this port. The officers of the vessel are: First officer, TJornsen; second officer, Thorndsen: third officer, Olsen. and chief engineer, Torjensen. All the offi cers and members of the crew are Nor wegians. 1 MANY VESSELS BARBOUXD. Grain and Lumber Carriers Held at Astoria Awaiting Fair Weather. On account of the heavy gales that have prevailed off the mouth of the Columbia during the past week or 10 days, a large number of vessels are bar bound at Astoria. In addition to those in the lower harbor there are two vessels here awaiting tows down stream. Yesterday the French bark Sully was taken In tow by the Ockla hama and Is on her way to the lower harbor. The British ship Buccleuch and the French, bark La Tour d'Au vergne are in the1 Stream awaiting tugs to take them to the lower habor. The vessels of, the grain fleet at the mouth of the Columbia which are unable to proced to sea are the Ger man ship Neride, the French barks Genevieve Molinos and "Ville de Mul house and the British ship Allerton. All of these vessels are wheat laden and are bound for the United King dom. A large number of the coastwise lumber flee't are also numbered among the barbound vessels. The American ships McLaurin, Paramita, Homeward Bound and Big Bonanza, the brig Com peer and the barkentine Louis are among the lumber carriers temporarily detained at Astoria. The British ship Galgate, which has been in the harbor since May 12, finish ed loading a cargo of lumber for the West Coast of South America yester day. She has over 1,000,000 feet of lumber loaded by Balfour, Guthrie & Co., and destined for Chile. STEAMSHIP COLUMBIA SAILS Passenger Liner Leaves on First Voyage Since Earthquake. The steamship Columbia, of the Sun Francisco & Portland Steamship Com pany's fleet, departed last evening on her first voyage out of ttiis port in over eight months, SI104 tiy before the San Francisco disas ter, last April, the vessel was placed in the drydock at the Bay City to undergo extensive repairs, and while in berth there was considerably damaged by overturning during the earthquake. She was ready for commission about the first of July, but, owing to the failure of the contract ors to supply her with a new rudder, she was unable to resume her run until the past week. She left last evening In command of Captain Norton, who is first officer of the steamship Manchuria, and who will re turn to that vessel as soon 'as he reaches San Francisco, and Captain Doran. who is now in command of the Barracouta, will succeed to his old berth on. the pop ular liner. The Columbia carries a large passenger list, but, owing to the effort to keep her on schedule and the resulting hurried de parture, she did not take much freight. The big freighter Aztec is still in the harbor, and will probably finish loading Monday and leave Tuesday. She is being operated on the same route as the Colum bia and the other members of the Harri man fleet plying between this port and San Francisco. PURCHASES ALDEN BESSE. W. ' T. Carroll, or Portland, Buys Weil-Known Sailing Vessel. The seagoing fleet of Portland Is grow ing daily, and another ship has been add ed to the list. The bark Alden Besse was bought Saturday by William T. Carroll, who recently bought the old favorite Co loma and after finishing charter from Puget Sound will most likely load out from the Columbia River. There is a growing interest in marine matters here, and considerable capital will be Invested in new steam schooners, just as soon as yards can find room to lay the keels. Not alone are the shipbuilding yards overrun with orders, but the marine machinery people have about all the work they can do, and this condition almost forces vessel owners to go East for quick construction. STEAMER FULHAM LIBELED O. R. & X. Co. Asks Damages From Vessel for Accident to Towboat. A libel suit for $160 damages was filed against the British steamship Fulham In the United States Court yesterday by the O. R. & N. Co. The suit grows out of damages sustained by the steamer Ocklahama while engaged in towing the Fulham to the North Pa- clflc mill, when both the Ocklahama and the Sarah Dixon had towllnes on the big lumber carrier, which In swinging around crushed several guards and caused damages to the craft amounting to JiiO. One hundred dollars Is asked for the loss of time suffered while the repairs were being made. The Fulham is loading lum ber at Linnton. IVERXA STORY SCOUTED. Local Pilots Do Xot Believe Overdue Craft Was Sighted. The reported sighting- of the British bark Iverna by the bar pilots on the pilot schooner Joseph Pulitzer, is scout ed by the local pilots, who are inclined to believe that the Pulitzer referred to some other vessel due to reach the Columbia River or Puget Sound. The story that the pilot boat was within hailing distance of her and that she immediately veered .away and put out to sea is not believed by those fa miliar with the conditions off the Co lumbia. The local pilots are of the opinion that the vessel has either been lost or has been blown far out to sea, and may be near the Siberian coast. SHIPS REACH GRAY'S HARBOR Fleet of Sailing Schooners Weathers Gale in Sufety. HOQUIAM. Wash.. Nov. 17. (Special.) A .large number of vessels arirved In Gray's Harbor today and many are lying at anchor in the lower harbor wait'ng to be towed to the mills. The barkentine John C. Myers was in the gale and cap tain reports the storm the worst he ever experienced. The Carrier Dov-3 sustained slight damage to her rigging, but was re paired in port. The schoener Minnie A. Caine. which brought in the crew of the abandoned schooner Emma Cladine, was forced to anchor in 20 fathoms of water off the coast to escape drifting into the breakers. Part ol Name on Wreckage. ASTORIA. Or.. Nov. 17. (Special.) Yes terday afternoon a piece of a name board from some vessel containing the letters "arraeo" in gilt was picked up on the beach about three miles below Elk Creek. The natural inference is that the beard came from the steamer Barracouta, but if so the vessel could not have been seriously damaged, as she arrived at San Francisco on Wednesday. Carried Higher on Beaeli. ASTORIA. Or., Nov. 17. (Special.) Word was received today that the strand ed bark Galena was not damaged by the recent gales and has not altered her po sition materially, although she Is being carried further up on the beach by the high tides. Several more of the bark's crew were sent down to her today and the work of taking down her yards is supposed to be in progress. Very High Tide at Astoria. ASTORIA. Or.. Nov. 17. (Special.) The water in the lower river today is as dis colored as during the usual June freshets and logs that have laid on the banks for years have been floated away. The tide today was extremely high, reaching a height of 12 feet, but no damage was done except to flood a few cellars. Redficld Clears With Lumber. ASTORIA. Or., Nov. 17. (Special.) The schooner F. S. Redneld cleared at the custom house this afternoon for San Francisco with a cargo of 600,000 feet of lumber, loaded at the Tongue Point Lum ber Company's mill. Arrivals and Departures..

At the meeting of the Mount Ta bor Home Training Club Friday af ternoon, in the West . Avenue School, Mrs. J. C. Billot King presiding. Mrs. H. M. Scott read a paper, "A Plea for the Boys," taking the place of Mrs. A. J. Montgomery, who was to ppeak. Al though prepared on short notice, the paper was extremely creditable to the author. Mrs. Scott made an earnest plea for the boy, who, she said, was out of place in the home everywhere; was found fault with, no matter what he did or what he did not do, and was rarely ever commended; who was scolded if he came home with a rent in his clothes, or mud on his feet, and who usually was made uncomfortable. All this, said the speaker, was his portion in most homes, and she declared that It was not just. In stead of looking for something to censure in him, it was the part of wisdom rathe"? to look for something to commend and praise, and to make a pleasant place for the boy in the home. Following the read ing of the paper the members discussed the points and agreed with the speaker that the practice of making the boy feel that he was a barbarian was to be con demned. Mrs. King, the president, an nounced that the next meeting of the circle, December 7. will be held at her home on West avenue, and be in the form of a social, between 3 and 5 o'clock.

SPECULATE My Patents Will Double the Capacity of Any Motor I never made an unsuccessful invention. My first invention was the elec tric .fan just as it is run all over this country In hot weather. I didn't get a patent on it, but see what a tremendous success it is! I next invented the 'Trolley Car system, just as it is run today. I made it perfect and successful right from the start. It has never been improved since I invented it. Look at the millions of money It has made for the stock holders. The stock in the trolley, manufacturing companies sold below 15 cents a share in 1893 and 1S94. Poor men could buy that stock then." Thou sands of them did buy it, and every one who held on to it is a rich man today. Next I Invented the, Hallway Car Telephone System. It is a system by which passengers or train crews can telephone from still or moving cars any- where the same as if seated in an office. It is a more perfect system in opera tion than any other telephone you cvnr saw. This is on the road toward millions for the stockholders. , This Is My Greatest Invention Now I have invented something bigger and greater than either of the above. It is called the Bidwell Cold Motor. It is guaranteed not to burn out. and is exactly the kind of a motor the steam railroad people have been looking for. It will change all the steam railroad systems over to electric roads, be tause it will be cheaper to run than steam and can" be run faster and more safely than any present method. The one drawback the railroads have had in changing over to electricity has been that no motor as at present made can be run 150 miles at 60 miles an hour without burning out. It would melt the very wires. By using the Bidwell Cold Motor a train of cars could be run from New York to San Francisco without a stop at the rate of GO or SO miles an hour and not even warm up and without a hitch. Besides running faster they would be more safe and sure than steam, cost less to operate, and would last longer than any other motor now known. The Bidwell Cold Motor is the greatest invention out since I invented the trolley car. The Opportunity of a Lifetime T want to give every man and woman a chance to come In with me on this, for I expect to make millions for the stockholders out of this new patent. The stock will be sold on the square. There will be no hocus pocus about Ihf. preferred or common stock nor any other scheme, trick ' or wrinkle by which anybody can be frozen out. out the city.
