I ANY PERSONS KILLED
L Denver Hotel Wrecked by
an Explosion.
IRE ADDS TO THE HORROR
ram the Mass of Wreckage Can Be
Heard the Moans of the Injured
and the Dying.
Denver, Aug. 19. The Gnmry hotel,
No. 1725 to 1737 Lawrence street, was
Wrecked by a terrific explosion at 12:10
hie (Monday) morning, the entire rear
alf of the building, a five-etory brick
nd stone structure, going down with a
rash. The hotel was crowded with
nests, and many of them must have
en killed, as well as the entire force
f hotel employes who were sleeping in
hat portion of the building. On both
sides of Lawrence street from Seven
eenth to Eighteenth street, and on
Lawrence street directly back of the
Gumry, the plateglass windows of the
business houses were blown in and a
number of pedestrians were injured by
falling glass. The fronts of many build
ings in the vicinity were badly wrecked.
The hotel structure, for 100 feet along
the alley, and extending for 75 feet to
ward the front, is merely a mass of de
bris. Brick and plaster are piled in a
heap 20 feet high, and from this mass of
wreckage can be heard the moans of the
injured and dying.
At 12:35 live injured people had been
taken out. They were all inmates ot
the upper story, and sank down with
the floors, escaping more fortunately
than those below, who are still buried
in the ruins.
The fireman are working like beavers
digging into the debris, but are making
little progress.
The remaining portion of the building,
from which the guests are being removed
by ladders as fast as possible, is expected
to fall any moment, and precautions to
avert further loss of life add to the dif
ficulty in reaching the dead and injured.
By some estimates 40 people were in
the portion of the hotel destroyed, near
ly all of whom must be dead. It will be
morning before a correct list can be ob
tained. The cause of the explosion is uncertain,
but it is supposed that the battery of
boilers in the hotel basement must have
exploded.
The Bound of the explosion was heard
throughout the city, awakening people
in bed a mile from the scene. A cloud
of dust was thrown a thousand feet into
the air, and as there is not a breatn of
air stirring, it still hangs in the air like
a huge column. Minute atoms of pow
dered brick and mortar are descending
like gentle snow many blocks away.
At 12:50 the ruins are burning fierce'
ly, and the firemen have been obliged to
retreat from the work of rescue. Every
engine in the city ia pouring streams of
water into the seething mess, but the
flames cannot possibly be gotten under
control before many of the injured have
been cremated.
As their chances of escape lessen , the
cries of the imprisoned people are in
creasing, Heartrending snrieks rising
from every portion of the great mass of
wreckage. Fears are now entertained
that the front portion of the building,
which seems to be tottering, will fall
and bury the firemen at their work.
THRILLING EXFKKIBNCB.
Mountain , Party Nearly Perished.
Bkattle, Aug. 17. A party of seven
mountain climbers from the Puget Sound
Methodist University had a thrilling ex
perience on Mount Rainier last Sunday
The ascent of the mountain was made
without difficulty; but in returning from
the summit to the "Camp of Clouds,'
I 6,000 feet below them, but which is at
an altitude oi about tf.UUU feet, the party
was lost in a dense bank of fog. They
could see nothing but a waste of fog and
now. Night came on and they were
still lost. They tramped until hunger
and weariness compelled them to stop
Huddling behind a pile of rocks they
finally decided to spend the rest of the
night there and wait for the fog to raise,
Here the party nearly froze to death
The wind blew so hard that the only
way they could keep their blankets from
blowing away was by loading them with
heavy stones. But morning came and
they again found their trail and late
Monday afternoon they reached "Camp
of Clouds," frost bitten, starved and
worn out. (Dr. Misner.one of the party,
ruptured a blood vessel and is eeriously
ill as a result of forty-eight hours on
Mount Rainier's summit. Tbe rest of the
party are not seriously injured.
Rev. W. M. Jeffries delivered a ser
mon on tbe summit last Snnday entitled
"The Sermon on the Mount."
The Farmers Resisted.
Oakesdale, Aug. 17. A judgement
was obtained iu the justice court here
against Rowe Bros., farmers, and an ex
ecution was issued on 300 sacks of oats.
Fearing trouble, the constable placed
three men to guard them last night. At
midnight, the guards were called upon
by 25 men, all armed with Winchester
rifles and shotguns, and told to leave.
They left at once. The oata were then
hauled off, two four-horse loads being
found five miles north, and the same
amount the distance south of the place.
These were secured. No arrests have
been made. This is the second case of
armed resistance to guards on crops in
Whitman county.
A New Country Opened Up.
Goldekdalk, Wash., Aug. 17. Twen
ty-five immigrants from Oregon passed
through Goldendale today, en route to
the Cedar vallej country, with a view of
locating on government land. The pros
pect of a railway up the Klickitat has
revived the interest of the settlers in the
future of the Cedar valley region. It is
estimated that the proposed railway will
afford an outlet for that new country.
It is said there are seven townships in
that vicinity open for entry. The heavy
grade of the present wagon road will be
avoided; and an excellent wagon road
can be built to the railway on the Big
Klickitat.
Two Lives Saved.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas,of Junction City,
111., was told by her doctors she had con
sumption and that there was no hope
for her, but two bottles Dr. King's New
Discovery completely cured her and she
says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eg-
gers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco, suf
fered from a dreadful cold, approaching
Consumption, tried without result every
thing else, then liought one bottle of Dr.
King's New Discovery and in two weeks
was cured. He ia naturally thankful.
It is such results, of which these are
samples, that prove the wonderful effi
cacy of this medicine in coughs and
colds. Free trial bottlea at the Snioes-
Kinersly Drug Co.,s.; Regular size 50c.

. He Will Heed the Watnlnt.
Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 17. S. S.
Pilley, postmaster, mayor, justice of
the peace, Sunday-school superintend
ent and Methodist deacon, of Georgiana,
Butler county, has been made to leave
town. He wrote a note to a respectable
young woman of Georgiana, making im
proper proposals. He asserted the note
was sent at the request of his brother as
a test. At a mass meeting the citizens
demanded Pilley's immediate resigna
tion from all his public trusts, and that
he leave town at once, or accept the con
sequences. He will leave. Pilley was
one of the most prominent men in this
section.

Peffer Says It Was Like a Volcano.
Minneapolis, Minnu Aug. 17. A
state official who wrote Senator Peffer,
of Kansas, asking him whether be had
gone back on free silver, received a reply
this morning denouncing the- "partisan
newspaper press," and asserting em
phatically that the free-silver craze is
not dying out, but ia fast widening its
field. It was like a volcano which could
'not be suppressed by covering the crater.'
The belief in the East that it was dying
out, he added, was due to the fact it
had now passed the pyrotechnic stage of
noises and demonstration.
They Climbed the Selkirk.
Tacoma, Aug. 17. A party of 25 mem
bers of the Appalachian Mountain Club,
of Boston, beaded by Professor C. E.
Foy, of Tufts college, arrived tonight

Northwest territory, which they success
fully explored. They will pass Sunday
SIM MOM S
REGULATOR
Reader, did you ever take Simmons
Liver Regulator, the "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,
Mais 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.
Every package has the Red Z
stamp on the wrapper. J. II.

mountains for a climb next week.

There are so many accidents to live
stock whicn cause delay and loss to the
farmer in his work. In a large number
of instances the delay would be but
trifling if a remedy was prom ptly applied.
Dr. J. H. McLean's Volcanic Oil Lini
ment has for many years been regarded
as the farmer's friend. Its healing on
flesh of domestic animals is immediate
and permanent. Price 25c, 50c and $1.00

Justice Strong is Dying;.
. Washington, Aug. 17. Advices re
ceived here indicate that all hope of the
recovery of Justice Strong (retired), of
the supreme court, has been abandoned.
He rallied two or three days ago, but
later reports from Lake Minnewaeka
say he has lost consciousness and cannot
survive much longer.
"It is the best patent medicine in tbe
world" is what Mr. E. M. Hartman, of
Marquam, Oregon, says of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
"What leada me to make this assertion
ia from the fact that dysentery in ita
worst form was prevalent around here
last summer and it never took over two
or three dosea of that remedy to effect a
complete cure." For sale by Blakeley &

Montreal's Great Loss.
Montreal, Aug. 17. Forty thousand
dollars' worth of securities have been
purloined from the safes of the city
treasurer In the city hall. City Treas
urer Robbs admits the securities are
missing. William McDonougb, who
has charge of the securities, ia sick in
bed, and cannot be seen.
Mr. C. G. -Strong, principal of the
public schools at Anderson, Cat., says:
"I have used Chamberlain's Pain Balm
and have found it an excellent remedy
for . lameness and slight wounds."
Lameness usually results from a sprain,
or other injury, or from rheumatism, for
which Chamberlain's Pain Balm is es
pecially intended and unequalled. It
affords almost immediate relief and in a
short time effects a cermanent cure.
