A BURGLAR IS KILLED
A Spokane Man's Deadly
Markmanship.
AN AWFUL MINE DISASTER
By
an Explosion of Giant Powder
Four Men Are Dead and Two
Fatally Injured.
Spokane, Wash., March 14. W. R.
Mann, a prominent insurance man, was
awakened early this morning by a burg
lar in his room. He drew a revolver
from beneath . his bed and fired at the
intruder. The robber jumped out of the
window, ran about 100 yards and fell
dead. - -
Mann saya he fired but once, but the
robber is perforated by two bullet
wounds, either of which would prove
fatal. One is through the brea6t, the
other in the head.
The theory is that wheu the robber
fell he sent a bullet through his head
from his own revolver. The burglar is
unknown. He is a large man, with a
black mustache.
. Was Identified.
This afternoon the body of the de.d
burglar was positively indentified by
neighbors as Frank Robinson, formerly
a farmer, but for a year or more a resi
dent of this city, though spending part
of his time in Portland. He was for a
time employed in a second-hand store,
but for the past year has been out of
employment much of the time. As he
had never been suspected of crime here
tofore, bis friends believe be was driven
to the deed by poverty. He attracted
attention a Bhort time ago by bringing a
suit against a drug company in this city
charging that the death of one of his
children had been caused by the firm's
failure to give the right medicine.
Awful Mine Disaster.
Spokane, March 14. A special to the
SpokeBman-Review from ' Roslyn,- B. C,
says one of the most disastrous accidents
in the history of Britieh Columbia min
ing occurred at the .Center Star mine
here this afternoon. As a result of the
explosion of two boxes of giant powder
four men are dead and two more 60 sev
erely hurt that they will probably die. .
The two boxes of giant powder were
being thawed out in hot water, and the
only man who knows how it became ig
nited lies at the point of death in the
hospital. He came running out of the
tunnel, saying "the powder is on fire,"
but before he could reach a place of
eafety the explosion came.
. Eight men were working in the mine.
The dead are Thomas Gibbons, mar
ried; Joe Dolan, single; Dan Lynch,
einglc; Mike Ravigan, single. The in
jured are Ed. Shanahan, single, not ex
pected to live: Mike Brooks, single.
The saved are M. McClement and a
man named Collins.: ; '
The Brown Trial.
San Francisco, March 14. The Con
gregational council, before which Rev.
Dr. Brown has been on trial charged
with immoral and nnministerial conduct,
has adjourned until Tuesday without
finding a verdict. From several infor
mal vgtes taken on various minor
charges it is believed the council will
find Dr. Brown has not been proven
guilty of immorality, but will condemn
him for unininieterial behavior. The
verdict would cost him his present pas
torate but would not debar him from
any other pulpit which might be open to
him.
Kansas for Sound Money. "
Kansas City, March 14. Under the
caption the Republican delegates from
Kansas Want Sound Money, the Star
this evening prints interviews on the
currency question with those delegates
- already elected to the national conven
tion at St. Louis. Six are reported as
having declared themselves unalterably
opposed to the free coinage of Bilver,
three favor it, while one, Mayor Nat
Barnes of Kansas City, Kan., says he
will stand on any money plattorni the
Republican convention may adopt.
Reduction In Wce.
Seattle, March 14. The Great North
ern railway has made another reduction
in the wages of its employes, the men
affected being agents, telegraph opera
tors, cashiers and engine wipers. The
change is not called a cut, but an equal
ization, because some salaries' have been
raised. The entire coast line in Wash
ington suffers from the change.
Uotid Bye, Comet.
San Fbakcisco, March 14. The Per
rine comet, which was scheduled to
strike the earth today, failed to arrive.
The astronomer at the Lick observatory
eays the comet last night was 40,000,000
miles away, and no prospect of coming
any closer, "
Being a dressmaker of several years
experience, and desiring to win the con
fidence of the ladies of The Dalles,
I have decided to cut and fit for
any lady free for one week only, be
ginning March 16th. Every lady
has the privilege of seeing her own draft
made in the true tailor style, without
the use of chart, drafting machine or
model of any kind, thus having a
chance to decide tor herself if it is safe

If there is any one thing that needs
to be purified,' it is politics, so the re
former nays, and many agree thereto.
But blood tells, and as a blood purifier
and liver corrector Simmons Liver Reg
ulator is the best medicine. "I use it in
preference to anv other." So wrote Mr.
8. H. Hysell, of Middleport, Ohio. And
Dr.. D. S. Russell, of Farmville, Va.,
writes, ,-It fulfills all you promise for it."
W. J. Moore, the leading t candy
maker, is still alive and doing well and
wishes to announces that he will now
introduce many different kinds of can
dies. His specialties are many, and he
proposes to give the people the purest of
confectionery, and remember that the
marshmallow taffy is the. favorite of all
taffies ever introduced. Let the people
judge for themselves. Give him a call
and be convinced.
Blakeley & Houghton desire us to pub
lish the following extract from a letter
of Chns. M. Gutfeld of Reedley, Fresno
county, Calif., as they handle the rem
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what a eplended medicine it is:
'It is with pleasure 1 tell you that by
one day's use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of a very bad
cold. My head was completely stopped
up and I could not sleep at night. I can
recommend this remedy." A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. By
using this remedy freely as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to the lungs, ,

' Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair," Chicago.' Manufact
urers of other ' sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing-ef their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
world's fair authorities iniavor of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows :
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It - is here on its
merite."
