4. S. M'EWEN & D. F. 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

elevates its crust and tho feathers of tho
nock, and without losing any timo de
livers a blow with its foot. If the snake
has avoided the blow and attempts to
strike buck, the bird interposes a wing,
thus receiving tho deadly fangs harm
lessly upon the long feathers and im
mediately strikes again.
Tho right is then virtually over, for
if the secretary gets in a single blow
the snako’a bad: is broken, and the bird,
lightninglike, plants its foot firmly on
tho reptile’s neck und head, pressing
them into the ground, while it deliver’s
the coup do grace with its beak, and
then deliberately swallows tho snake
whole, beginning at the tail, and just
before the head disappears, giving it an
enthusiastic parting rap on tho ground.
But there is nothing refined about tho
secretary bird’s appetite, for one writer
says he found inside one threo serpents
"ns long as his arm ,” 11 lizards 7
inches long, 21 tortoises about 2 inches
in diameter, ** besides » large quantity
of grasshoppers and other insects, ” or
in other words, 7 % feet o f snake,
of lizard, 8 of tortoise and say a yard
of miscellaneous triflesl
The secretary b i' l is protected by the
capo authorities r the immense public
benefit it con tra in eating poisonous
snakes, and a penalty is attached by
law to its destruction. And if it were
necessary hundreds o f eyewitnesses
could bo called to provo its right to the
titlo of serpentarius. Curiously enough,
too, this bird may bo trained, and is
trained, to protect poultry yards, not
only from snakes, which are too fond of
eggs, but from other birds of pr*v*—St.
James Budget.

It rains.
And with voice with emotion chokod,
A mother, in garments tattered and soaked*
Drags her weary feet with trembling tread
To beg for her darlings a morsel of bread.

And the sailor’s wife is »ad.
As tho wind shrieks by like a demon mod.
And a prayer ascends to the great white throne,
“ Oh, Father, leave mo not alone!”

Their drenched boughs o ’er a now made grave.
And tho grief stricken hearts burst forth again.
As they think o f tho loved ono out in the rain.
