THE OHIO SCANDAL.
why Campbell Called Foraker ar
Infamo GUS ScOumdrel.

WASHINGTON, February 5.-The House
committee investigating the Ohio ballot
box forgery, this morning continued the
examination OF Governor Campbell. In
answer to Governor Foraker, witness
said he had not predicated his assertion
made in speech that Foraker was an
Infamous scoundrel, upon the Luce letter,
but it was in answer to Foraker's charge
that he was party to a million dollar
steal. Witness had said that any man
who charged another with steal
ing a million dollars, when he
did not know what he was
talking about was an infamous scoundrel.
Witness said he never saw any Of the
Wood ballot boxes, except one in Col. T
G. Campbell's Office and one brought tc
him in Washington. He never travelled
with ballot box in his life never spoke
to the President about the ballot-box bill
or to member of the committee. Wit
ness said he introduced the ballot box
bill altogether upon T. @. Campbells re-
quest. He thought Campbell should
have show for his box.
A number of other witnesses were ex
amined, including Woods wife, bu
nothing new was learned.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
Sr. LOUIS, February 5.-The biggest
sensation in express circles since the
time of the famous Jim Cummings rob-
berv. was occasioned today VIXEN it was
learned that the Pacific Express Com
pany had been robbed of $35 1000, on
February 1st. The City National Bank,
of Dallas, Texas, remitted to the Com
mercial National Bank, Of st. Louis. SIS, )
900 in gold, and 900 in bills. The
gold was duly received two days ago. The
bank today notified Superintendent Full
ler that they held notice for $50, 900 in
currency which was not received. The
superintendent notified the assistant
at Dallas, who replied that no trace of the
package was there. With the reply came
the astounding information that the
money clerk in the Dallas office, young
man named F. A. Walton was missing
since last Sunday night. His accounts
had been looked over, but were all
straight and nothing was particularly
suspected until the inquiry came from
st. Louis. Then the cunning scheme
was exposed. Walton. made out two
receipts, one for $4,000, and one for
$35, ,000 on one blank. On the duplicate
he forwarded to St. Louis. however, no
mention was made of the So 900, and con-
sequently he WAS given time to get away
The express company has telegraphed
descriptions OF the absconder every
where, and hope to capture him. Walton
came originally from Ionis, Michigan,
and had worked for several express com
panies. He was believed to be of ex-
emplary habits.

CRUSHED BY AVALANCHES.
Several KILLED by SnoWslides I'm tn
CGur d,Alene District.


SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, February 5 -
The town of Burke, Idaho, in the
Ceur d'Alene mining district, has been
nearly destroyed by disastrous ava
lanches. Half of the business houses
are in ruins. Three men we're killed and
the terror-stricken inhabitants have fled
to the towns of Gem and Wallace, fear
ing a repetition of the disaster. Pariicu-
lars are meagre, as the wires to all
points in the mines have gone down,
leaving no meane of communication. The
disasters occurred yesterday afternoon
and this morning. With scarcely mo-
ment's warning tremendous mass of
snow and rocks swept upon the town
from the west side of the narrow gulch
in which it is situated. Five men were
buried beneath the snow. Two were res
cued, but the others are dead and their
bodies have not yet been recovered. The
ill-fated town lies in a narrow eulch
through which Canyon creek pours lis
waters into the south fork of the Ceur
d'Alene. 1t had about 200 inhabitants,
who have deserted their wrecked or men
aced homes and places Of business. The
nearest town is Gem, also upon Canyon
creek, and three miles down the stream.
Yesterday another disastrous ava
lauche swept down upon boarding
house connected with the Custer mine,
which is situated upon Nine Mile creek,
about five miles from Burke. The board
ing houses we're full of miners, six Of
whom were killed. Others had a narrow
escape and a number were more or less
injured. The disasters are not surprise
to those familiar with the topography
of the section. The towns are
situated in very narrow gulches, on
either side of which abrupt mountains
arise. The snowfall this winter has
been unprecedented in the history of the
country. Within the last few days it
has been raining hard, which had the
effect of looseniug the deep snow banks
and precipitating them upon the town
and houses below.
KILLED AT DINNER.
SPOKANE FALLS, February 5-Late,
reports from Burke indicate that no lives
were lost there. Mr.. and Mrs. Wise
Jack Wait and wife were buried in the
snow.slide, but all were rescued with
slight injury. At the Custer mine, how
ever, the disaster was worse than st first
reported. Six men were killed outright

avalanche rushed upon the boarding
house. Many other avalanches have oc
cured in the Ceur d'Alene district. Tint

are terror. stricken, and dare not sleel

In Lowell, Mass, agree in saying that they sell

F.C. GooDALE: sell more OF Hoods Sarsapa-

A. w. Dows & Co.: Hoods takes the lead OF all
other sarsaparillas
+. BLANCHARD: We sell more of Hoods Sar-
saparilla than of any similar.
MARsToN & SHAW: With us the sale of Hoods
Is to of any other kind.
F. E. BAILEY & Co.: Hoods Sarsaparilla Is
one of the best medicines.
CARLTON & HovEY: Hoods Sarsaparilla is one
of the best medicines we have. Its sale increases
every year.
F. p MOODY: We sell twice as much OF Hoods
garsaparilla as of anything similar.
G. A, SWAN: Hoods is the most popular sarsa-
parilla of the day.
THIRTY OTHER druggists speak similarly.
This popularity at home, where Hoods Sarsa-
parilla and its proprietors have been known tor
MANY years. could not continue If the medicine
