DEAN, Ashland, Oregon, Deo. 28.— Ad vices were received bare this even ing from Klamath Falls,Oregou, of a me.„t horrible und fatal accident at Silver Lake, Lake county, Oregon, caused by the overturning o f a lamp at a gathering on Christmas Eve,in which over forty lives were lost and sixteen persons badly injured, five of whom will probably die. The gathering had assembled in the hall above Christman Bro’s store and consisted o f children, who, with their parents and rela tives, were having a grand time and enjoying what Santa Claus had brought them, and little dreaming that many of them would never leave the bnildiug alive. The Lakeview Examiner says: Some one attempted to get where he could see and hear better by jumping upon a bench in the mid dle of the hall. In doing so his head struck a lamp hanging from th* ceilrag, causing the oil to run out, which immediately caught fire. While try ijg to take the lamp down it was tipped so that tho oil ran out on the floor. From that on the scene waa terrible to behold. Some said, “Shut the door and keep qniet, and it can be put out, while others screamed and yelled. The lamp was finally taken down, but it fell to the floor. In their attempts to get it outside it was kicked to the door, where it lay unmolested, as it could not be touched on account o f the intense heat People were compelled to go through the flames in order to reach the door, and frantically rushed to their doom.

Chicago, Jan. 2.—A special to the Daily News from Washington says: “ Leading New York bank ers have made a formal demand on the president for the removal of Secretary Carlisle. The request was made by J. Pierpont Morgan, who came on from New York for that purpose.” Mr. Morgan was the chief factor in the late syndicate which took the last issue of bonds. There have been many informal demands for Secretary Carlisle’s retirement coming from Wall street in the last year, but this is tho first time the movement has taken an organized form. A number of prominent New York financiers charge that the secretary broke faith with them on the recent bond issue by springing his currency plan just after he dis posed of the bonds, and depress ing the price on the market, result ing in the dissolution of a syndi cate. The president informed Secre tary Carlisle today for the first time of Morgan’s modest request, and indicated be had no intention of asking Secretary Carlisle to quit ^ v r t v . v i . v . v A '* w . v . v w v w w v w w y | j The Future T he fact that Hood's Sarsapa* rilla has cured thousands of others is certainly sufficient reason for belief that it will cure you.
