FOUR TO GET OFFICE
Oregon Delegation Reaches
An Agreement.
JOHN H. HALL FOR U. S. 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." . . .

Kovai. Baking Powder Co. 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 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.

Something to Know.
It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. 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. Sold for
50c or $1.00 per bottle at Blakeley &
