wants to Live to Vote Again.

Grandpa McCabe, who lives on
ranch near The Dalles, fell from boA
yesterday and injured his hip and back
quite severely. He sent for DIR. Hollis
ter, and as soon as he arrived said ::
doctor, L want you to fix me up one
more time. I have voted the Republi-
can ticket every campaign since the
party was born, and 1 want to vote it
once more before die." The request
was much like that of Samson when he
became patriarch, and was quite pa
thetic. The extreme age of the patient
coupled with the fact of the extremely
hot weather, makes it doubtful if he
will recover in time to vote at the Mo-
vSmner election.

Probably Blown 10 Atoms.

Johannesburg, Feb. 20.--The explosion
of dynamite which occurred ut Viende-
norp. u suburb OF this city. last evening
was more disastrous than was at first be
lieved
Eight railway cars loaded with dyna-
mite were being switched from one track
to another when the explosion took place
At the spot where the dynamite ex-
ploded, hole 80 feet was made In the
ground. and every house within q radius
of half IA mile was razed to the ground.
Forty bodies have been found. and tho
search is only just beginning. Two hun
bred injurs ed persons have been taken to
the hospitals, where several OF them have
died. Comparatively few white persons
were killed
Nothing is positively known as to what
actually caused the explosion, but 90 tons
of dynamite had been exposed to the direct
rays of the sun for three days
The latest estimate places the number
of killed at over 100. Many persons are
aud there Is scarcely doubt that
they were blown to pieces
The principal victims were poor Beers,
very few foreigners living at Viedendorp.
