Fireman Covered With
Burning Oil

GALESBURG, H., Sept. 12.-On the
Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad.
just seast of Alton this morning. the
west bound train broke in two and..as the
front part slowed up at a water tank, the
rear part ran into the front, causing a
car of naphtha to ignite. There were
twelve cars of naphtha and petroleum IN

flames shot up hundreds of feet. Three
cars exploded with tremendous force. The
house of Thomas Carver, near by, was
set on fire and destroyed. Mr.. and Mrs.
Carver bar,ly escaped. Samuel Welcb,
twenty rods distant, a village fireman.
was covered with burning oil and was
burned to death. Other firemen were
badly burned, but none fatally. The loss
to the railroad company in $500 A

The only white person who has been
attacked with the disease was a sailor of
the United States steamer Bennington.
She lies in the harbor, some distance
from any dock. The man had not been
ashore for some days. He was suddenly
taken with this disease and died. He
had bathed over the side of the ship but
the water of the harbor is remarkably
Slean and the tide flows freely. There
is, however. a stream flowing through
the city on the banks of which we're
situated many Chinese wash houses and
where the natives throw much refuse
matter. 1t is believed that the rsfuse of
this stream may have contaminated the
waters of the harbor and the sailor may
have, in some way come in contact with
the germs or he may have eaten fruit
brought on board. The physicians are
gradually locating the germ centers, but
new cases arise In unexpected quarters
and there have not been sufficient num-
Der of facts to enable'any safe generaliza-
tion to be made.
The steamship Miowera arrived off the
port last night from the colonies. The
captain landed q passenger and proceed
ed on his way to Victoria without taking
either mail, press dispatches or passen-
gers.
The U. s. S. Olympia arrived on
the I'D, eigiN days from San Francisco.
Sac anchored outside of the harbor. She
will take coal here and leave about the
twelfth for Japan. The Bennington is at
anchor outside also. Her physician re-
ports all well on board.
The council of state held a nesting
yesterday afternoon and after app opriat-
ing 100000 for expenses incurred by the
board of health, the matter of pardoning
political prisoners came up for considera-
stion. The executive commanded that
Carl Widemannr Cupid, the four Lane
boys, JANUS Kaae, Joe Widdfield and
thirry-nlne others be pardoned. The
council adopted the recon mendation.
At the same meeting the queen was
pardoned also. She and the others will
be liberated as soon as the pardons are
out. Bowler, RicSaru, Walker, Wilcox
and, other long term prisoners will re-
main in jail.
The government will allow all exiles to
return to the country with the exception
of Ashford brothers, now in San Fran
cisco.
Permission has been granted John
Cranstoun and +. Muller to return to be
present at an exaimination to be held in
the interests of the Canadian Australian
Steam ship co;s; aany. Miller and Grams
touh entered suit against the company
at Vancouver for carrying them away

ROBERT j. MAKES A RECORD
He Paced Fourth Heat in Phenom nal
Time

LOUISVILLE. Sept. -. Not only the
grand stand but the standing room capa-
city OF the Louisville Driving and Fai
association was tried this afternoon. A
fast track and bright sunshine favored
the great pacing race in which Robert J. O.,
John r. Gentry and De Patchen were to
battle for the supremacy. AS early as 10
O'Clock his.morning the car line leading
to the track had an abundance of cars
literally filed to overlooking. AT 2:3O
O'Clock when the three horses scored for
the opening heat it is estimated that
nearly 1000 people were on the ground.
Robert j., the great son of Hartford,
came out victorious. But for the fact
that Joe Patchen went into the air when
within forty yards of the wire in the
fourth heat there might have possibly
been another ending. Robert j., how
ever, was as steady as a clock and not
once during the four hearts did he go off
his feet. The fourth heat, which was
paced in 2:04, established "a new
record, being the fastest fourth heat ever
paced or trotted by any horse.
There were seven races on the pro-
grmme, but it WAS necessary to carry
the 2:11 and the PIG trots over until
tomorrow, while the "a trot was not
reached. Narvardine died last night as a
result of yesterdays seven heats in the
2:17 trot, which was not decided. She
was valued at $1,000 and owned by J. b.

STATE FAIR INTELLIGENCE
J. ". Mitchell Addresses the State
Agrlcultnrists
Amazed by the Electrical Carnival lie
Changes His Subject From Agricul.
turaI 1schinery to Electricity

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 12.-The ad-
dress given each year in the fair pavilion
at the invitation of the State Agricultural
society was delivered tonight by j. W.
Mitchell of Los Angeles. He came here
several days ago prepared to talk upon
subjects which woula have been of great
interest to the people of California in
particular and the coast in general. He
would have spoken of the marvellous ad-
vancement in agricultural machinery.
would have uwelt upon the causes of de-
preston and from his standpoint pointed
out way to reform existing conditions.
1t was his intention also to refer TO the
millions of money which California has
poured into the United States treasury
without receiving adequate compensa-
ton IN return in the way of appropria-
tions. He would have urged the prssi.
dent of the United States to visit the
P icific coast more frequently, and thai
California be given Place in the next
cabinet.
But Mr.. Mitchell destroyed that speech
and prepared new one. He was amazed
by the magnificent electrical carnival
which took place in this CITY lart Monday
night and then prepared a new address
WIN EleCbTlClly as MS lucme. HIS
dress was ar able and eloquent effort and
was listened to by a large audience. He
spoke in glowing terms of Sacramento $
great enterprise ana Of the wonderful
future before her for securing man ufactor
les. Electricity is not coming force. 1t
is here. Its power has been demon
strated. The possibilities for other sec
tions of California are Just as great as
those of Sacramento.

MISCEIL
FEW KNOW ABOUT THE SHAKERS
OF MOUNT LEBANON.

We, may not accept their peculiar religious
views. We cannot enter into the spirit of
their sacrifices land theI efOre we do not
study their hat bits of life.
1t is not necessary to believe as they DO,
but we can and do respect their sincerity
OF purpose and the honor and uprlghtness
which mark all their business dealings.
In one particular the shakers excel all
otler men or classes of men. This is in the
cultivation OF medicinal herbs and plants.
They have made study for more than
one hundred years. They are also expert
in extracting from them their characters
tics essences and medicinal virtues.
This is their peculiar Industry. Ihelr
lives have been devoted to it. By it they
as do the Monks Of the order OF ST. Bel. edict
with their famous liqueur called "Benedlc-
tine"
Now this, lifelong study on the part, of
the Shakers has not been in vain. Ihey
have accomplished much good. Their med
lclnal extracts and cord1ais are known
throughout the world.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is probably
the most useful medicine ever given to the
public; II is not a cure for all diseased; #
doesn't pretend to be-; but one disease 1T
will cure, and that is Indigestion. 1t is not
pretended that it will cure anything else, and
su ferer has not long to wait to see the
result. The effect is immediate: Almost
the first dose will give relief. anu, II con
tinued. a perma nent cure will follow. The
Shaker motto is:-'tPr0ve all Things and
hold fast that which is good" For this
reason the Shakers put into the hands OF
the retail druggists who sell their remedy
small trial bottles. which can be had for
ten cents each, SO that for this small sum
the reader can ascertain whether IL Is
ada pied to his case.

US apply it wisely and patiently IN our
treatment of the great interests we have
been considering, and, regarding cause
as we'll a effect, adjust ourselves to Rthe
conditions aS they exist, resolved to 1n-
prove them, and to reap the legitimate
fruits OF their Improvement.
Mr.. Goldthwaite of the .Biddeford
Board, opened the discussion on the
point of the prevention of incendiary
fires. An old insurance man had con-
cluded that one-half the fires were set
outright, a quarter were set by reckless
carelessness, and the remaining quarter
are downright accidents There is al
was a big increase of fires when times
get hard. There should be means of
ferreting out incendiary fires. If we had
have much less trouble with insurance
rates in five years. There is now no In
ducement for law officers to use their
time in investigating fires.
Mr.. Pearl of the Bangor Board, spoke
of the serious nature of this question of
fire loss in Maine. We are ourselves to
blame for the high rate of risks prevail
ing, and the remedy is in our own
hands. One way of preventing fires is
by better building regulations. Poor
chimneys are great menace. The farm
buildings that are burning are not the
old dwellings built fifty years ago; but
the modern bull. houses with chimneys
only one brick thick. In cities protect
i've companies should be organized to
rush to fires and cover the goods with
ubber blankets. Mr.. Pearl did not be-
lieve the dishonest fires were numerous.
The man who deliberately set his build
ing on fire was the exception. The new
law establishing inspectors of buildings
would result in decreasing fires.
Messrs. Crosby of Bangor, Rogers of
Bath, land Goldthwaite of Biddeford, were
appointed a committee on resolutions.
Col. f. E. Boothby requested that this
committee notice in their resolution an
old friend and prominent member of the
board, Hon. Lysander Strickland of Ban
gor. Later Mr.. Boothby himself offered
appropriate resolutions which were
adopted.

to speak on the financial matter. Mr..
Weymouth took up the cudgel vigorous
