KXPM)DED 2000 KEGS POWDER.
Practical and Costly Object leman to
a Jury.
Chicago, Nov. 10. A dispatch to the
Inter-Ocean from Unlontown. Pa.,
nays: For the sake of Illustrating a
contested point to a coroner s Ju, .
here yesterday, 2000 kegs of powde..
representing a value of about liO.OOO,
was exploded by a powder company..
The shock of the explosion was felt
In several surrounding townships, and
there was great excltemont through
out this end ot I ho country. 1
The coroner's Jury which had been
sitting on the cases of 18 persons kill
ed In the explosion at Kalrchance,
September 9, had expressed some de
sire for Information as to the direc
tion In which the exploding powder
exerted Its greatest force. The powder
people have taken the stand that the
big magazines which went off on
September 9, had been exploded by
some agency outside the magazines.
They claimed thut some one had a
splto against the company, placed and
exploded under the magazines, con
taining 10.000 kegs of powder, some
other explosive, either fulminate of
mercury or nltro-glycerlno. In defense
of this It was clnlmcd that powder In
exploding does not tear holes In the
ground, and the company offered to
prove this by practical demonstration
to the coroner's Jury. '
The coronor's Jury retired to a great
distance, and the battery was touched
off. The explosion rocked the entire
township and was hoard as fur as
Connelsvlile.
After the powder exploded It was
shown there was no hole In the earth
caused by the explosion of this great
amount of powder.

I WOIVE MIGHTS TO LAND
ON THE RESERVATION,
To What Limit May Purchasers Dur
ing Sale of 1885 May Go In Subse
quent Investments Issue Has Been
Taken Iuto Ute Federal Conns on
an Appeal From the Department of
tiie Interior by tlie Contestecs Be
tween Twenty and Thirty Litigants
Anxiously Await a Final Derision.
Among other matters that are be
ing held awaiting the appointment of
a federal judge for Oregon are 20 or
30 contest cases from this county, in
which the question Involved Is wheth
er or not parties who purchase land
on the reservation In the sale of 1886
could also purchase at the sale of
1902.
During the latter sale quite a few
people purchased land after having
already purchased under the former
sale. Thereupon co-tests wore filed
to have these entries cancelled. One
of the first of these cases was that of
Hoover vs. Jones, In which the former
wns contestant. This case was de
cided by the departp-ent of the Inter
ior in favor of the contestant, the
ruling of the department being that
no party who had purchased land In
the first sale could do so In the sec
ond excepting In cases where the 40
ucres of timber had not been taken at
the first sale. In which Instance the
right to make this purchase at the
second sale was granted.
However, the case was then taken
Into the federal court by the contes
tecs, and was under consideration at
the time of Judge Bellinger's death,
Since then It has been impossible to
secure any settlement, as the Judges
who have occupied the bench tem
porarily have refused to take up such
matters.
Since the department ruled against
the purchaser in ths Hoover-Jones
cose many other contests, all similar
In nature, have been filed and decid
ed In the same way. All of these
havo also been appealed In order to
keep the entries from being cancell
ed, and are now awaiting the appoint
ment ot a federal Judge.

RAILROAD RATE CASE
A special from Colfax to the Walla

the hearing In the railroad rate cases,
says:
The state railroad commission be
gan the second day ot Its sitting In
this city yesterday and Chairman
Falrchlld announced that the motion
of the railroads to quash the proceed
ings were overrated.
The state, represented by Assistant
Attorney Oeneral McDonald, then
tiled a demurrer to the voluminous
answer of the railroads to the com
plaint, which, upon being sustained by
the commission, cleared the tracks of
all obstructions, and the taking ot
testimony began.
Witnesses were called by the state
for the purpose of sustaining tho alle

were called. It is said efforts will be
made to Indict some district leaders.
, Voorhls, this afternoon, discussing
the reports that ballot ooxes were
dumped Into the river, said:
"There Is nothing to this talk about
missing ballot boxes. The board of
election knows exactly how many
boxes It gave out, and how many re
turned. So far as 1 know, all came
back. The story about boxes being
thrown Into the river Is all false. If

am sure It was one of the small boxes
for mutilated ballots, which are al
ways destroyed after the good ballots
a-e counted. Tho report that some
locks are missing Is untrue. Some

that city to points on the O. R. A N.
The contention ol the Tacoma wit
nesses Is that by reason of a lack of
the Joint rate between the Northern
Pacific and O. R. ft N. railroads they
aro shut out of the markets In many
of the Inland empire towns.
The vigorous defense and objections
of the proceedings of the commission
Indicates that they will not comply
with the rulings ar finding of the
commission, If contrary to their de
sires, until it Is decided by the courts
that the commission has the power to
enforce its rulings.
The best legal talent In the states
of Oregon and Washington has been
secured by both sides and no matter
what tho decision ot ths commission
may be on the question, the case will
be carried to the supreme court. The
introduction of testimony during the
remaining days of the session Is mere
ly a matter of form that the proper
foundation may be laid by both side
for ths contest In tbe courts.
Prom all appearances the sittings
will continue until Saturday.

Saturday Night nt 8 O'clock: No
Admission Charged, and the Gener
al Public Is Cordially Invited to At
tend Parlor Meeting Being Held
Prior to Securing a Place Suitable
for General Audience All Free
I-ectiires.
The Spiritualists ot Pendleton, and
many others who are by no means
Spiritualists, are enjoying a visit this
week from Rev. R. C. Coon, a travel
ing evangelist of ths faith mentioned.
Mr. Coon is accompanied by his wife,
who is a medium.
Rev. Coon, like many others of the
best known, most able and effective
preachers of this church, came Into
the work through and out of ortho
doxy. As a member of the Advcntlst
church and afterward of the Baptist
church, he put in many years at ex
horting and in purely reformatory
work under the auspices of those or
ganizations. He has done much slum
work of reformatory and evangelistic
nature, having solicited for and pro
moted Crlttenton homes (for fallen
women), Christ's Rescue Home work
and Millennial Dawn work.
Itev. Coon has been in the Spiritual
istic lecture field for about seven years
and was ordained a minister of that
church at New Era camp, by Harrison
D. Barrett, president of the National
Spiritualistic association. His home
is San Francisco, and most of his pub
lic life has been spent In California,
his residence for many years, while
associated with orthodoxy, being at
San Jose.
Like the great majority of Spiritual
ists, Rev. Coon is neither an Infidel
nor an atheist, but Is a devoted ad
herent of the Bible, regarding It as
"the greatest work on Spiritualism
ever written."
Parlor meetings were held Wednes
day and Thursday nights, addressed
by Rev. Coon, at the home of W. O.
Hodder, on the north side, and a third
meeting will be held tonight at the
same plact.
At Hendricks' Hall.
Tomorrow (Saturday) night the
first of a series ot public meotlngs
will be held In Hendricks' hall by
Rev. and Mrs. Coon, beginning at 8
o'clock sharp. No admission will be
charged, and the general public Is in
vited to attend.
