THE SMOKE AS THICK AS FOG
Logging Train Went Through n Burning
Trcstlc, Two Mcn pcrishinG
i'll the Wreck.

Olympia, Wash, Aug. 10.-Only
meagre details have been received from
the burning district west and south of
here. The wires went down yesterday
and the only method of communication
is by messenger. The city is covered
with dense smoke and a shower of fine
ashes is falling continually, Thus lar
two deaths have been reported. Lars
Peterson and Thomas White were rid
ing on a logging train near Shelton
when the train went through burning
trestle. The engineer and fireman eS-
capped, but Peterson and White were
burned in the wreck. Simpsons log
ging camp was burned out completely
and the heavy draught horses were
saved only by the heroic efforts OF men
who rode them through the flames. The
men saved their clothing and personal
property by digging trenches. All the
logging railroads are blocked by falling
timbers. Heavy winds have famed the
fire through the dry timber until the
roaring of flames is heard miles away
and the quick successive falling OF giant
trees resembles the noise of battle.
ABOUT PORTLAND.
Portland, Or, Aug. 10.-Forest fires
have prevailed in the mountains
throughout the northwest for two
weeks past and the atmosphere has be-
come so smoky as to almost entirely
obscure the sun at midday.
In the Nehalen valley much timber
has been destroyed.

ILLINOIS TOWN SWEPT BY FIRE
FIRE
LOckport New village. Damaged L
the Extent OF $5OO.OOO.

the Extent Oh pcOb,UOO.
Chicago, Aug. 1O.-Lockport, Ill, is
on fire. A special train with five en-
gines left for that place this aftrnoon.
At Il 20 .. m. the business blocks and
% houses had been destroyed. The fire
started at 1870, and owing to lack Of
water and everything being dry 1t
spread rapidly.
Workmen tarring the roof Of the
Phoenix printing office accidentally
started the fire. In five minutes it was
beyond control. Joliet was called on
for help, but fire there prevented aid
being extended and Chicago was then
called up. Lockport is in Will county,
H., on the big drainage canal, and has
about 1000 population. It is about 80
miles east of Chicago and five miles
from Joliet. It contained eight church.
es, a newspaper, mill, a large flour
mill, four carriage shops and various
other enterprises. Since the beginning
of work on the canal the town has
grown considerably. A part Of today's
disaster is the destruction of the post
office and town hall, including all the
records. A strong wind blew the flames
so the entire city seemed enVeloped.
The people became panic stricken and
hurriedly began moving to the hills,
a mile from the city. LockpOrt has no
fire department and there were but one
hose cart. The engines sent from Chi
cago were given as quick run as pos
sible over the Chicago 81 Alton road.
AT 2:15 p. m. telephone message by
way of Joliet announced that 80 build
ings had burned, and 1t was estimated
that the loss had reached half a mil
lion dollars. Fire engines from Chica-
go were playing on the fire and Chi
cago firemen were tearing down houses.
The marshal said he thought they
would have the fire under control in a
few minutes.
Harry Disse and Lowell Sillman were
hurt while fighting the flames. Neither
was fatally injured.

CHICAGO SOCIALISTS ARE WORRIED

Now, Is Glad to Come.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-The local socialists
are "betwixt the devil and the deep sea-
over the invitation extended to kier Har-
die, the ex-socialist member of parlia-
ment, to speak In this city Oh Labor Day.
After Harde had been swamped at the
polls last month by the votes Of his own
party, and which amounted to a'practical
reputation of his political course, it was
decided to withdraw the invitation, but
before an intimation Of this action could
reach him a letter was received effusively
accepting the call, and naming the date
upon which he will sail. Now those that
extended the invitation are in a quand-
Diary whether to stick by 1t or to again
notify Hardie that he is not wanted.

KILLED HIS FATHER
Young McGonigIe Of North Yak
ina jailed.
SHOT ANOTHER MAN TOO
The Trouble Arose Over an Attempt to
Backcn the Character of
Young Woman.

North Yakima, Aug 12.-Charles Nc
Gonigle, a young man Of 30, is in Jail
in this city, his father a corpse and
Blacksmith Eaves Is lying at the point
of death, all the result OF the aspersion
Of character of Eaves' daughters on the
part of young McGonigle, who shot
both men late last night. The coroner's
jury this morning visited the McGOn-
lyle ranch, seven miles from this city,
and brought in verdict charging the
young man with the murder of his
father.
The facts were that Charles McGon-
lyle had told the neighbors that in his
belief Eaves kept prostitutes, and had
further ordered his adopted sister to
have nothing to do with them. He had
also caused to be printed in local pa
per some story rejecting upon the
character of Eaves sisters. Mr.. Eaves
Sunday night drove to the McGonigle
ranch, a distance of two miles, to have
IA retractiOn. He was accompanied by
his wife and one daughter. Upon near
ing the house he saw Charles McGOn-
ig1e and called him to the gate. He
came, but said he would stand by any
remark he had made. The Eaves fam
lily alighted from the wagon and en-
tered the gate together. McGOnigle
ran. The Eaves people went to the
house, knocked and were invited in.
The wife and daughter entered, MT.
caves remaining on the stoop In front
OF the door. He talked a moment or
so, and said he came to see Charles, but
refused to enter, and stepped off the
stOop.
Old man McGonigle came around the
corner Of the house at this moment.
EaVes approached him and put his
hand on his shoulder in friendly way
and said he had come to see why
Charles had circulated scandal about
his daughters. While talking, a rifle at
the rear door cracked and McGonigle
fell and died in a few moments, shot
through the intestines. Eaves fed into
the house and extinguished the light.
Charles then advanced to the house
door, and seeing Miss Eaves in the
room, said:
What are you doing there" and
fred at her.
She stepped aside and the bullet
struck Eaves in the groin.
Eaves fired a small revolver at
Charles but missed. The latter then
went to a neighbours house and gave
himself up, saying he had shot his faith
er accidentally.
McGonigle was a man of so. Eaves
is aged 40. The family of the dead man
testified that he said, "Eaves killed
me-" as he fell, but there is no cor
roborative testimony to this effect. In
Justice to the Eaves girls it should be
said that they are quiet and genteel,
comparatively we'll educated and have
always borne good regulations. Meth
er family have been here two years.
There is small hope of Eaves' recov-
cry.

feet from the floor, a similar hooked
bolt is placed, upon which are hung the
brace rods, made of five-eighths inch
round iron furnished with ring at each
end.
Through the sill, just back of each
door post, two half inch holes are bored
and an iron loop (C) inserted, having az
inside measure slightly greater than s
inches in width and extending half q
foot or more below the surface. These
receive and hold the beams at the back
end of the platform. To prevent strain
ing these loops by any horizontal thrust
board (B) is placed just behind them,
against which the ends of the beams
may rest. This board is supported by
others (AA) nailed against the sleepers in
the position shown in the drawing.
When the seasons feeding is done, the
platform is taken down and slowed
away until again needed. The feed rack
is placed just below the outer end of the
platform and parallel with the barn. II

yet easily reached from the platform
Ordinary fencing boards and scantlin9

p -cs Need Fresh Earth.

The pigpen ought to have space OF
fresh soil that has not been trampled
over for several years for the pigs to root
in. Such soil helps to correct acidity of
the stomach and keep the pig healthy.
But where the roofing is over land filled
with decomposing pig manure the pigs
are sure to get some disease, and this is
doubtless often the means by which the
dreaded trichina is introduced. The pig
likes to be cleanly. His roofing in fresh
soil for roots and larva Of insects does
not disprove his preference for cleanli'
ness. ss.-American Cultivator.
