SALEM MILL BURNED.
Loss on Buildings and Grain About
@1bO,OOO.

Salem, Or, Sept. 25.--The mill and
elevator warehouse OF the Salem Flour
ing Mills Company, located at the
corner Of Commercial and Trade streets,
were destroyed by fire at 4 o'clock this
morning. The total loss is about
$3.50, 900, large part Of which will
fall on farmers who had grain stored
at the mills. There was over 125, 900
bushels OF wheat stored in the build
ings, only about $4,000 bushels of
which belonged to the mill company.
The fire was caused by dust explo-
sion near the cleaners on the third floor
OF the mill, and it spread rapidly.
The insurance on the mill company's
buildings and machinery, which are
almost total loss, is about $50, 900,
while their value is placed at about
$4,000. Only about 10000 bushels
of the stored grain was insured, so the
loss to the owners is great. Consider
able of the grain not damaged by water,
1t is thought, can be cleaned and sold
for about half price, and the mill COM
pany will take immediate steps to save
all that possibly can be saved.
The mill, which was run as an in
dependent concern by men interested
in the Portland Touring mills, may
never be rebuilt, as the Portland Flour
ing Mills Company owns another mill
in Salem. The fire was one of the
largest ever seen in Salem.

.DOMBARD THE REBELS.
Navy Destroys Works on the
Bay of Subig.
TOWN or OLAyGAPo RIDDLED
Krapp Cannon which the Insurgents
Were Working was Blown Up
by Landing Party.

Manila, Sept. 20. - The cruiser
Charleston, the monitor Monterey and
the gunboats Concord and Zafiro, with
the marines and bluejackets from the
cruiser Baltimore, left Cayite Septem-
ber 10, and, as already cabled, pro-
ceeded 10 Subig bay TO destroy an in
surgent cannon there.
Owing to the bad weather, the opera.
tion was postponed until yesterday,
when the warships for three hours bonn
bardcd the town OF Olsngapo and the
entrenchments where the gun was stu
ated. Men from the Charleston, Con
cord and Zafro were then landed un-
der heavy insurgent fire, proceeding
to the cannon, which was utterly de-
stroyed by guncotton, and then re-
turned to the warships. The Ameri-
cans had one man wounded during the
engagement.
While waiting in Subig bay for bet
ter weather, the Americans deserted
Filipino reinforcements moving toward
Olangapo. At 6:40 A. NJ. yesterday
the Monterey began TO advance upon
the town, which was about three miles
east Of the monitors anchorage. The
Charleston, Concord and Zafiro fol-
lowed. At 7:20 the Monterey opened
fire with her secondary and main bat
teries; the Charleston and Concord join
ing Immediately. At 7i30 the insur-
gent cannon answered the first shot
passing close TO the Monterey's smoke
stack. The gun was fired twice only.
The American bombarding then be-
came general. At $3.50 the Monterey
advanced TO range OF 600 yards, using
her main battery. Two hundred and
fifty men were landed about 800 yards
east of the cannon at ii o'clock, under
a severe Mauser fire.
The men from the Charleston were
the first to reach the beach, but the
Concord's men were the first at the
gun, which they reached at 1l:l0.
The cannon was found to be 16-cen-
timeter Krupp gun, presumably OBJ
tanned from the Spaniards. Meanwhile
the warships continued TO she'll the

Gunner Olsen exploded 80 pounds OF
guncotton in three discharges in the
cannon. which had suffered from the
fire OF the warships.
The Americans then Seturned to the
boats, the firing inland being kept up
to protect the embarkation. The Con-
cords men were the last to leave the
shore and the warships were reached
at 1850.
Cadet Brinzer, with the Concord's
launch, armed with gatling, did ex-
cellent work on the left OF the landing
party. Captain Meyers, of the ma
rines, captured muzzle-loading field
piece. Lieutenant Mcdonald was in
command of the landing party, and the
movement was splendidly executed and
controlled.
The numbers Of the Filipinos there
could not be ascertained, and no dead
were seen.
The Monterey fired for four hours
81 shots from her l0-inch guns, and IL
from her l2-inch guns. The town,
which was riddled with shells, took fire
at several points.

Jerry Simpsons Praise Of Aguinaldo
Was Too Much for His Hearers.
Kansas City. Sept. 25.-A dispatch
to the Journal from Wichita, Kan,
says:
Ex-Congressman Jerry Simpson was
hooted off the platform here this even
ing while addressing a local g. A. X.
reunion. Mr.. Simpson said:
II glory in the spunk of Aguinaldo's
men. They are simply fighting to re-
gain the land the Catholics took from
them. A local paper has asked: who
is John Browns soul marching with
Otis or Aguinaldo?' believe John
Browns soul is marching with Agui-
naldo."
Mr.. Sipmson said in substance that
he would rather be with Aguinaldo
than with General Otis. An old SOL
dier in the audience rose and saidthat
the speech was drifting too much into
politics. This was applauded and
greeted with cries OF Throw him outi"
and Kick Simpson off the platforml"
Men and women arose and hissed, and
the men kept crying, "Put him out'
Simpson appealed to the crowd to sit
down. II am coming to my perora-
tion," he said, although he had been
speaking only 10 minutes. Cries came,
Take your peroration to Aguinaldo.
Simpson attempted to go on, but no
one could hear him 10 feet away. The
band struck up "The Star Spangled
Banner" and Mr.. Simpson left the
platform. His retirement was greeted
with prolonged cheers.

OUR HEAD IS TURNED.

Dewey IL Overestimated.

DO Seya doldWtu smith, Who Thinks
Dewey Ii Overestimsted.
Toronto, Ont, Sept. 25.--Goldwin
Smith, writing in local paper, says:
Nothing could show the extent to
which the head of Columbia has been
turned by the war more than her ador-
alton of the hero Dewey. What did.
the hero Dewey and his comrades do?
They sat in almost perfect safety and
destroyed at long range line OF help
less tubs. with some hundreds of the
poor Spaniards who manned them,
and who alone had any opportunity of
showing heroism on the occasion. So
perfectly secure did the Americans feel
that they adjourned to breakfast in the
middle of their sport. There was
among them single casualty, and had
they all gone tiger hunting one casual
ty at least probably would have oc-
CURED.
"For this, however, Dewey, is de-
clared to be the equal OF the great sea-
men who conquered in the terrible days
of Aboukir, Copenhagen, Trafalgar. If
he were go inclined he might probably
be elected president Of the United
States.
Canada cannot possibly take part
in the celebration of Dewey's triumphs
without evidence of discourtesy toward
Spain, friendly nation, which has
done Canada no wrong. Spain, let it
be remembered, though deprived OF her
possessions in this hemisphere, is still
a Mediterranean power, decayed at
present, but capable of restoration.
The British government will hardly
thank the Canadian government for
making her an implacable enemy"

An American surgeon. Mr.. c. F.
Turner, Of Snickersville, has just
bought for over $500 a maidstone that
appears to possess some remarkable
qualities. The stone was brought from
Europe-probably England-1S6 years
ago. Ii Is about the size Of a shilling,
and has the appearance of sandstone,
but is smoother and somewhat porous.
The stone is oval-shaped and has a
dark-brown color. II is claimed by
those who have witnessed the power
Of the maidstone that it is a certain
cure for all bites of mad dogs and
poisonous reptiles. and II is positively
asserted that 1t has never yet failed
to perform its functions IL the patient
reaches it in time One well-authen-
ticated case is given where two people
were bitten about the same time by
the same dog. One Of the victims was
a firm believer in the efficacy of the
stone, had 1t applied to the wound and
never thereafter suffered any evil eff
fects. The other, having no faith in
the stone and its much-talked-of
power, refused to go to it, and soon
afterward died in agony from hydro
phobia.
