Two Men Went to the Rescue of the Young Woman Bnt the Boat Sank and They Were All Lost Seven Per - sons Silled By An Explosion in a Squib Factory. : . V'-T,. BOISE, Idaho, MarcTi 31. Three per sons plunged 210 feet to their death over the Shoshone Falls of Snake river last night, t They were Miss Marie Willis, Sajnuel t Graham and a man whose jiame is unknown. Miss Willis sometimes ran the ferry boat at this point. ; Last night Miss Willis took the boat across in response to a call. On the return sie found the guide rope not working properly and put back Gra ham and the other man, seeing from the opposite side that there was trou ble, took I he Hotel skiff and erossed to the ferryboat. They took Miss Willis off and started back to the south bank. As the boat neared the shore it filled and went down, all three being lost. There is no trace of the bodies. They were doubtless swept ever fbe falls. Threw Squib In Stove. Seranton, Pa., March 31. Seven per sons were killed and five fatally in jured by an explosion in a factory of the Dickson Squib Company, at Price burg, near, here today. Twenty , girls were employed in the factory. What caused the explosion is not known, but it is said that one of the girls threw a squibs into the stove. The force of the explosion was so great that it wrecked tte building" and set fire .to it.

' It it a good ticket," sound of wind and limb, and one that will work well singly and as a team, with running qualities of the thorough brcu. mere is no question but it is n. winning ticket, clean through . The bovs from the country wanted Judge Scott. Also, as it transpired, the city boys. It wall be about as nearly unanimous at the polls. -mmm The Stavton delegation wants to know -of the Jefferson delegation if Its conscience is entii-ely clear. 'm'm Now, if this good weather will hold out, the delegates will go home and go to work, lhey will .shape tueir politi cal guns into plow' shares and fashion their . political swords into pruning hooks. ' It is all ever but electing the ticket. That will be done most expeditiously when tho day for ratification at, the polls arrive. r Mr. Settlemier will be elected this time, by an overwhelming majority. He ran for the legislature once,s and came within six votes of being elected. Let's see. Didn't some one say Mr. Hermann would carry the convention by a two-thirds majority, or something to that effect? It is to be hoped thaf the Statesman will not be accused of coloring the news now when the an nonneement is made that Mr. Harris had a very comfortable majority ja the eonvention vesteruav. Whether it is Mr. Hermann or Mr. Harris, the Indian School will have an able friend at c,ourt. And that is the main thing Marion county has to look ont for in the matter of selecting a Congressman. In; getting one railroad, Tillamook county may get two, or more. It is announced that the eleetric line from Portland to Ilillsboro will now be built, the money having been secured, and that it will be extended to Tillamook. W The Sunday Statesman will be a big Easter number, with a great deal of matter appropriate to the day.. If you want to talk to the people of" this part of Oregon, yon will want an announce ment in this tig number. And you should send it in today.
