A BURNING QUESTION
Will the Shops at Sprague
be Rebuilt.
THE COMPANY UNDECIDED
A. Heavy Wind Mlkn Standing Walls
Dan parous Outside Cities Send
Prompt Aid.
Speaguk, Aug. 6 The wind has been
blowing h territic gala all day. Stand
ing walls are dangHmu', and a gang of
men under Fire Cuief Denier have been
tearing- them down aa rapidly as possi
ble. Must of the burned out firms are
now located in tents or frame building.
It was reported this afternoon that the
railroad company had ordered lumber
for a round-house and would commence
the building as soon as the material ar
rives. The citizens' committee this
morning received a dispatch from Kend
rick stating the matter of rebuilding has
not been definitely settled, and will not
be without giving full consideration to
all phnses of the subject. Letters and
d'spatches from prominent people in the
East, lead the citizens to believe that
substantial shops will be built here.
Everybody feels hopeful and business
is better than for a long time. A car
load of halibut arrived from Tacoma this
morning and. everybody had a fish din
ner. Provision are cming in plentifully
and the town will so be on its feet again.
Very few toughs have come to Sprague.
and Marshall McGinnis and his deputies
are chasing them out as fast as ihey ar
rive. Safes are gradually cooling off and
eeveral have already been opened. The
contents in most instances were found
in good condition. Many old railroad
employes have been ordered to Ellens
burg, Missoula and Edison, and the
town is thinning out.
Negroes Greatly Excited.
Chicago, Ang. 6. Five hundred ex
cited negroes today in mass meeting
adopted a resolution demanding that
Governor Atgeld protect the colored peo
ple in Spring Valley, III., and asserting
their determination to leave for that
place tonight in the event of the refusal
of the governor to take such action.
The speeches were violent and deter
mined. The colored people decided to stay in
session all day and a committee of four
was S'int to Spring Valley to report on
the situation. The committee was ex
pecced to reach the mines at 3:30 this
afternoon, and itjwas decided that if
they reported by telegraph that their
brothers were not being properly pro
tected by the state authorities a com
pany of rescutes would leave Chicago at
4 :20 p. m. and go directly to the aid of
the colored miners.
A white lawyer earned Waters at
tempted to advise moderation, and was
promptly thrown through the window.
The Italian consul at-ked that the
police prevent the men from leavn g the
city. Mayor Swift and Chief Badenoch
held a conference, and it was decided
that if the colored men attempted to
board a train for Spring Valley they
would be stopped bv policemen.
Tiro Jliritl.b. Ships Lost.
San FbanAisco, Aog. 6. Two well
known BritieA ships, one bound from
Melbourne tar London, and the other
from Newcastle, N. R. W., to Panama,
are long overdue", and local insurance
men who have some risks on them have
given both up for lost.
The bark-Florence sailed from New
castle on January 26, of this year, and
has not been heard from since. .The
supposition is that she has foundred or
gone ashore on the South American
coast.
The other missing vessel, the ship
Stoneleigh, sailed from Melbourne on
February 27, and is, therefore, now out
. 159 days. Tha Britieh ship Dunsyre,
which recently arrived in London from
Melbourne, reported having spoken the
vessel on March 1. On the following
day the Dunsyre encountered a terrific
storm in which she lost sight of the
Stoneleigh and the next day she passed
through a lot of wreckage. The general
belief is that all hands perished.
Kartbquake Shock.
Glovbrsville, N. Y. Aug. 6. An
earthquake shock lasting nearly a min-
uta was felt in this locality and the
alarm caused among nervous people by
the seismic shock was heightened by a
heavy thunder etorm which immediate
ly followed it. Several persons were
seriously injured in the storm, and con
siderable damage was done to property.
Tne harm done to buildings includes
bad damage to a couple of bouses which
were struck by lightning. Many trees
were uprooted by the force of the wind.
Five Bodies Recovered.
Florence, Colo., Acg. 6 Five bodies
have thus far been recovered of victims
of last week's cloudburst near Adilaide.
Besides the three persons killed at that
place the body of John Kennedy, a
track-walker, who was swept down by
t'ie fl'K)d, has been found. The remains
of another man were found yesterday
near McCourt.
A footman trying to make his way
through the canyon yesterday fell into
the creek and was drowned.
Dropped Dead From Heat.
Portland, Or., Aug. 6. Thismorning
Deputy United Stales Marshal J. M.
Beatly, of Pendleton, arrived here on
business, and will remain until tomor
row. Mr Bently states that while he was
at the Pendleton depot yesterday wait
fur the westbound train, news came in
that two men, employed on a farm about
4 miles from town, had dropped dead
from the great heat. Both men were
working with a threshing machine, one
being engaged on a sack-sewer and the
other raking the straw away.
There is more Uatarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.-
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitntional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure.
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea-
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure, fiend for circulars and tes

The Outrage Premeditated.
Hong Kong, Aug. 6. In an interview
today with the survivors of the Ku
Cheng maesacre they declared the ut-
rage was carried out in the most diaboli
cal manner and whb evidently a preme-
diated and carefully-arranged attack. It
was entirely unprovoked and was made
upon the occupants of the 'missionary
station while asleep. The bodies of the
victims were . buried at Foo Chow.
There are rumors of further riots at sta
tions nearer Foo Chow than Ku Cheng.

Reader, did you ever take Simmons
Liver Regulator, the 44 Kino op
Liver Medicines ? ' ' Everybody needs
take a liver remedy. It is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
tcrpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Mali iria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou
bles, and give tone to the whole sys
tem. For a laxative Simmons Liver
Regulator is better than Pills. It
does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes and strengthens.

cable-gram from Consul-General Jer

Shanghai, Aug. 6. Haxon, the
United States consul at Foo Chow, wires
The American mission properly at Yuen
Fun has been burned. The details of
the Ku Cheng massacre are horrible.
The houses were stealthy surrounded

were speared to death. The situation
is unsettled.' "
One night when Mr. Isaac Reese was
stopping with me, eaya M. F. Hatch, a
prominent merchant of Quartermaster,
Washington, I heard him groaning. On
going to his room I found him suffering
from cramp colic. He was in such ag
ony I feared he would die. I hastily
gave him a dose of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He was
soon relieved and the first words he
uttered were, "what was that stuff you
gave me?" I informed him. A few
days ago we were talking about the
attack and he said he was never without
that remedy now. I have used it in my
family for several years. I know its
worth and do not hesitate to recommend
it to my friends and customers. For
