Burned Itself Out--Aid Sent
and Moro Needed.

Spokane, May IA special 10 the
Spokesman Review from Kaslo, B. O..
says:
Sandon, the second mining town In
importance I'm the SLOGAN, has been
com pleteiy destroyed by fire and nearly
all its 200 people are homeless and
ruined. Kaslo is 28 miles from Sam
don. but about midnight large clouds
Of smoke came rolling over this town
from Sandon. At once word went ont
that sandon was destroyed, but no news
could be had from the desolate town.
AZ all wires had been burned.
At4P. NJ. q train came in from San
don bringing number OF tliose who
lost all their property. They reported
that the total lots was between $500,
600 and $1,000, 900, while the insur-
ance could only have been about $685.
600.
The alarm was sounded shortly after
midnight, and quickly the streets were
filed with hundreds Of men and wo-
men. The flames started between
Spencer's hall and Browns store.
Two streams seemed to hold the flames
In check for q while. Then one stream
gave out and the flames spread rapidly.
After that 1t was only matter OF the
FIRE burning itself out.
The miners hospital and drug store
were blown up in the effort to stop the
flames. BY this time all the lower
part OF town. including the tenderloin
and many business places were gone.
Then the firemen blew up the Echo
hotel. one OF the finest buildings in the
Kootenay country, the Canadian Pa
cific railroad station and other build
ings in order TO save the valuable storea
Of ii. Geigerich and II. Byers q Co.
This vas accomplished. Half dozen
other buildings at the extreme ends oil
the town were saved, including the
electric power-house. The rest of the
town was drawn into the maelstrom OF
fame.
Relief measures were taken quickly.
The officials of Sandon donated $500,
ana mining men there contributed
5000. Kaslo raised 81. 800 and sent
mp special train with large supplies
Of food, tents and clo'iing. More re-
lief Is needed.

started From the Scene Of the Utah
Mine Disaster.
Salt Lake, May THE greatest
funeral train in the history of Western
America started ON its journey from
Scofield today. The train had upon it
the remains OF about 85 or more OF the
victims OF the Winter Quarters disas-
ter. Accompanying the bodies were
many relatives, who are bowed down
with the severity of the blow that they
have so suddenly sustained. One Of
the miners who was in the mine at the
time of the explosion and who was one
OF the first rescuers who went in to re-
cover the bodies. tells an interesting
story. He was in No. !. in the first
raise, when the explosion occurred, but
20 far away from il that the sound did
not reach him. He suffered moment
with the air. but thought 1t the result
Of a cave-in, worked ON quarter OF an
hour, when his miners instinct told
him that something was wrong, and he
came ON down to the main entrance.
A door had been fitted in here to keep
the current Of good air from going
above, and to direct 1t into the main
workings, where it would meet the
damp and either weaken it very much
or drive 1t back. This door was guard
cd ON the outer side. Passing on TO the
mouth OF the tunnel, this miner, with
Others, joined Superintendent T. j.
Parmley, and went to No. 4, where the
greatest danger existed. Outside of the
mine those working had all been in
jured, so the party was small.

GOEBEL MURDER CASE.
CuIton Described the Conference Held
in Lexington.

Cuiton Described the Conference Held
in Lexington.
Frankfort, KY, May 5.--W. H. Gull
ton resumed his testimmony in the
Goebel murder investigation today.
He stated that Governor Taylor author
lied the witness to give Youtsey any
amount of money desired il he would
leave Kentucky. At conference in
Lexington. the Sunday before Goebel
was shot, it was decided that Repre-
sentative Henry Berry. who had been
unseated few days before, should 60
to the house OF representatives next
morning and take his seat and refuse
10 give it up. Vanmeter, his opponent,
was to be in some way prevented from
going 10 the hall that morning. Caleb
Powers, who was at the conference.
telephoned to Governor Taylor ut
Frankfort two or three times in regard
10 the conference. On cross-examina-
tion, Culton said he did not know ef
any list OF state senators or representa-
tityes who were TO be put out of the
way.
On redirect examination, Culton
said that Sergeant-at-Arms Haley
signed the subpoenas for witnesses for
Governor Taylor 70 testify before the
gubernatorial contest committee, and
authorized Culton to secure good men
In the various counties to serve them.
Culton said he did not know where
Powers or Youtsey were when the shot
was fired. The last talk he had with
Youtsey, the latter said the plan to kill
6oebel had been abandoned. Culton
had been asked by Taylor to ascertain
what the witnesses in the contest knew,
because he was lawyer. To the pros
ecution he said he had told more now
on the stand than to any person except
his father. Here his testimony ended.
Circuit Court Clerk Moore, of jack
son county, denied that Culton had
told him anything about the plan to
bring ON riot and kill Goebel and
other members of the legislature.
The afternoon session of the court
was taken mp with testimony by the
surgeons, who conducted the autopsy
on the body of Goebel. aud civil
engineer who had made measurement
of the state house yard. The prosecu-
tion sought to show, from the nature
of the wounds and from the course Of
the bullet, which is supposed TO have
passed through Goebel's body and was
dug out of tree near where hes fell,
that the shot was fred from . window
in the Office of the secretary of state.

THE CASE OF CLARK.
Senate VIII Take II Up Next Thur

Washington, May 5.--Tbe senate TO-
day adopted the motion OF Hoar TO take
mp the resolution Of the committee IN
elections declaring that Clark, Of Mon
tang, was not duly elected to the sem
ate, and then postponed consideration
Of the question for week. The army
appropriation bill, after rather spirit
ed debate, was passed without division.
The day closed with the passage OF q
number Of private pension bills, includ-
ing bills TO pension Mrs. Julia Henry,
widow of the late General Guy v.
Henry; General James Longstreet. Mrs.
Margaret NJ. Badger, widow OF the late
Commodore Badger, and Mrs. Harriet
Gridley, widow Of the late Captain
Gridley, OF the navy.
The house today. without division,
passed the free homes bill. which has
been pending before congress for q
number of years. The bill provides
that the government shall issue pat
ents TO actual bona fide settlers ON
agricultural lands OF Indian reserya-
irons opened to settlement. These
lands were taken up by settlers, who
contracted to pay for them $l.25 10
1915 per acre. BY the terms Of the
bill, the government assumes the pay
ment OF the purchase price to the In
dians and changes the existing law rel
atiye TO agricultural colleges SO as to
insure the payments OF the endowments
which heretofore have come out Of the
sale Of public lands in case of deficien-
cy. These payments involve 81. .200.-
600 annually. OF the $4,000, 900 acres
in Indian reservations opened to settle
ment, for which the government is to
pay or has paid $35. 900, about
5000, 900 acres have been taken and
1000, 900 are supposed 70 be still avail
able for agricultural purposes. A re-
markable thing in connection with the
passage Of the bill today was speech
in its favor by Galusha A. Grow, the
venerable ex-speaker of the house, who
48 years ago, fathered and passed the
original homestead bill. He was then
the youngest and is now the Oldest
member OF the house. The remainder
Of the day was devoted to the sundry
civil appropriation bill, the last but
one OF the great supply bills.

Exclamations of astonisllment and
delight at the sumptuous furnishings Of
the Northern Paciflc's new North Coast
Limited we're heard ON every side Wed
nesday evening at the union depot in

like gigantic fiery glow-worm. On
the inside the effect was as rich az an
Oriental dream Of splendor.
"BeautifuiP
'Iook at those fine chairsi'
"Never saw anything to equal itp'
These and similar ordinations oi
wonder burst from visitors.
The train made its initial trip from
st. Paul to Portland without hitch OF
any kind. At every station where
stop was made large crowds Of visitors
swarmed aboard, and in some of the
larger places difficulty was experienced
in getting the cars cleared in time to
start again. Charles s. Fee, general
passenger agent, was aboard. He was
met at Seattle BY A. d. Charlton, Of
Portland, assistant general passenger
agent; |. A. Nadeau. general agent at
Seattle, and A. Timing, general agent
at Tacoma.
To attempt TO give description OF
each separate section OF this new trair
would tax the English vocabulary. II
was thought that modern railway con.
veniences had reached high degree o.
perfection, but it remained for the
builders of the North Coast Limited tt
show that added improvements could
be made.
From one end TO another il is con,
tinuation of luxury. Bathed in the
soft glow OF shaded electric globes, the
dark redwood finishings shine with rici
brilliancy; the polished glass walls
sparkle and scintillate with light, and
the other furnishings gleam with bor'
rowed light in manner that makes the
general effect dazzling. Each car is a,
completely furnished as moderr

tions accorded by first-class hotels car
be secured aboard the palace on wheels
This observation car to the rear will
never be detached to make place foi
