ATTORNEY Zoetta Douner, Marshal; O. Summers, Appraiser; T. T. Geer, Begls ter at Oregon City. The Oregon congressional delegation Saturday agreed upon the following rec ommendations for appointment to fed eral offices in Oregon. United States district attorney John H. Hall, of Portland. United States marshal Zoeth Houser, of Umatilla county. Appraiser of customs, Willamette dis trict, at Portland Colonel Owen Sum mers, of Portland. Register of United States land office, mt Oregon City T. T. ieer, of Marion county. President McKinley was at once, by . wire, notified of the choice of the dele gation. No other recommendations were made, or, if an agreement was reached, the fact was not made public. ' For col lector of customs at Portland, it was an nounced that the "delegation has not submitted a recommendation at present, and probably will not until an oppor tunity is given for consultation with the president." ' The term of the present incumbent in the collectorship, of in ternal revenue for Oregon, Washington and Alaska does not expire until Janu ary 20, 1898, and no recommendation will be made until that time. No defi nite action was taken as to the post mastership at Portland, and other post offices and land offices throughout the state will be filled as theterms of the present incumbents expire. The delegation concluded its consulta tions last night, and Congressman Ellis left for his home in TIeppner, and Con gressman Tongue for Hillsboro, Senator McBride will remain at the Perkins for several days. The delegation had been in almost continuous conference since Thursday afternoon. Before that time there had been desultory meetings, but no serious work was done or conclusions reached. After it was all over, Senator McBride said, last niht : " We have listened patiently and gladly to various representative Republicans from all parts of the state, and have con sidered the merits of all the candidates. These recommendations represent the candidates upon whom all could agree, after careful consideration." Senator McBride declined to say any thing further for publication, pleading that he was very tired and very anxious for a season of rest. The general expectation is that Presi .' dent McKinley will made the appoint ments in accordance with the wishes of the delegation. It has been his policy to place the responsibility for his selec tions to office upon the various senators and representatives, and when a delega tion is in harmony as to any candidate, or set of candidates for the state which it represents, it may be considered tan tamount to appointment. A NATURAL GAS LEAK. Caused Two Terrible Explosions In an Indianapolis Suburb. Indianapolis, Sept. 4. Broad Ripple, a Eubnrb of Indianapolis, ten miles from the city proper, was this morning the scene ot the most terrible disaster that has ever visited this state. Six persons were burned to death and thirty people are lying in the homes of neighbors, burned, scarred and racked with pain from.broken bones. Four buildings, oc cupying a block of the town, are in rums. "My Ears were : badly sunburned. I used Gar land's Happy Thought Salve, and it cured them in short order." Edwin Teekell, Sunnydale, Wash. "It is a grand thing for sunburn and tan. I never used anything better." Mrs. Potts, Tacoma, Wash.; : "One jar of Garland's Happy Thought' aive cured me entirely oi tne severest case of sunburn I ever had. I have re commended it to my friends, who hare an Deen benefited by it." . . . Cornelia Carroll, Benton Ave., Seattle, Wash.

New York. Of the six dead, nothing but charred and blackened bones, with banging strips of foul-smelling flesh, remain. Two of the dead are still unidentified, there being no way of identification, ex cept by listing those who are missing. At 10 o'clock a foul odor was noticed m the drugstore of J. L. Watts, and a lamp in the dark room, used for amateur photography, went out. It was lighted, and as the burning match was thrown to the floor, streaks of flame of a bluish tint ran along the joints between the boards, showing the presence of escap ing natural gas, and then up the walls. The next instant, the explosion came. The walla were hurled in every direction and the top of the building, fell with a crunching, grinding sound, covering everything: Fire broke out, and shrieks could be heard from those beneath. Of the seven persons in the store, . three were burned alive. The rest are still alive and may recover. A hundred persons were at work on the ruins trying to save the lives in Greschke's grocery adjoinging, pulling at the ruins to save those buried beneath. While thus engaged, and twenty min utes after the first explosion, a second came from beneath the grocery. It was a mighty roar and hurled the building to atoms. Forty people were knocked senseless, strewn in all directions with tfroken bones and bruised bodies, while as many more escaped with small bruises. The shock made the whole town quiver. Beneath the ruins, Phius Greschke, the groceryman, was caught and crushed to death. His body was re covered before it was entirely burned. The ruins were added to those of the building adjoining, demolished by the first explosion, and the whole mass, to gether with a cottage and a livery stable, was burned. Only the bucket brigrade was on band in time to do any good, and probably it only prolonged the agony of the victims who were ' burned. The disaster was caused by natural gas leaking into the cellars of the buildings fro ai a three-inch main that ran into the street, and from-which the houses were supplied. . The Grandest XSemedy.

J. H. Cradlkbau6h, " ag21-tf The Dalles, Or, THE QUEEN ARRIVES DOWN. Work en they Skaguay Trail Disgusted '. : Elondlken Ketnrn. Port Townsend, Sept. 4. The steam ship Queen arrived at 10 i o'clock from Alaska.' Among her passengers ' is George B. Kittenger, of Seattle, who comes oot on a flying business trip and will return on the same steamer to Skaguay, eh route to Dawson City. Kittinger has been over a part of the Skaguay trail and was the center of a large crowd on the street corners tonight, where he told interesting stories of the scenes, amusing and .pathetic as well, that be had witnessed on the pass. Frank L. Crampton, of Mount Ver non, Wash., is one of the passengers down from Skaguay on the Queen. He went up to look over the situation, and took a trip over both passes. He says that the killing of horses is caused large ly by novices, who do not know how to load them. In many instances the pack saddles are allowed to wear great holes in the horses' backs. The men who are fixing the trail will be the first to profit by it. This has been decided by the vigilance committee, and no man can go on trail " with packs without a certificate from the secretary that he has done so much work on the trail. One man whom Mr. Crampton saw had got ten all of his outfit over "the trail when it was closed for travel. The com mittee refused to let him take the re mainder of bis pack over. His en treaties did no good. In desperation, he went back and got a wincbeeier and two revolvers, and he held up the com mittee and went through. Many men will wait until the snow falls and take their outfits over on sleds. In fact, sleds already are being used to croes the Bum mi t on the Dyea trail. At Dyea and ' the Chilkoot pass the conditions are much the same as on- the Skaguay trail. The price for packing by the Indians is 38 cents per pound, and all classes of Indians are employed. Tents are scattered every 20 feet along the trail. The trail is lined with ' tired and distressed men from one end to the other. S. M. Lesikatos, who went into the Klondike last spring, sends out word to his partner, Mr. Hens, of Juneau, that be has struck it rich. He. says : "I sunk two prospect boles without finding anything, but in the third I could pick up nuggets with my hand. I am so excited I can't write. We are rich. The amount of gold the people have here is something appalling." The Queen left lor Seattle at 11 o'clock. She has 34 disgusted Klon dikers on board. lndigeston is often taken for con sumption. The word consumptoin means wasting away, and dyspeptics often waste away as badly as consump tives. The reason people waste away, is be cause either they don t get enough to eat, or they don't digest what . they do eat. If the latter is . your trouble, take Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will help you to digest your food and stop your loss of flesh. Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from herbs, barks and the juices of fruit, by the well-known ' Shakers at Mount Lebanon. It possess great tonic and digestive powers. Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured many supposed consumptives (who were really dyspeptics), by simply help ing their stomachs to digest their food, thus giving them nourishment and new strength. - Sold by druggists.

This medicine is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to the nerve centres in the stomach, gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and aids these organs in throwing off impurities in the blood. Electric Bit ters improves the appetite, aids diges tion and is pronounced by those who have tried it as the very best blood purl tier and nerve tonic. Try it.
