Tho wreckage near the boiler house
took fire and through the binding
CLOUDS of dust, smoke and escaping
steam could be seen struggling men
and women, while from various parts
of the ruins came cries for help. The
fire department soon extinguished the
flames, and the work of rescuing be-
gan. Wounded and bleeding girls
were carried to nearby stores where
they were given hasty medical atten-
tiOn, and then taken to hospitals. In
two instances the bodies were SO
frighttully mangled that the clothes
worn were the only means to identify
them.
The injured number "a, many being
seriously hurt. The explosion took
place ut the time when many of the
employees of the laundry had gone
to work. The force of the explosion
was so terrific that buildings for
blocks around were shaken as if by
an earthquake, and hundreds of win.
dows were shattered.

HERE'S A POINTER
FOR KALISPELL
How Spokane Induces Homeseekers to
Stop Off There.

How Spokane Induces Homeseekers to
Stop Off There.
Between the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific forty-two heavi-
ly loaded cars of homeseekers were
sent out yesterday for Montana and
Washington points, says the st. Paul
Globe. 1t is estimated that consid-
erably ever 1000 passengers were on
the four sections, and the total vol
ume of the excursion traffic was much
larger than last week. Next weeks
is expected to be one of the heaviest
of the season, and both roads will
probably be compelled to send out two
sections each on both days for which
the tickets are good.
A novel feature of the excursions
yesterday was the presence on all
the trains of enterprising land agents
from Spokane, who on the trip will
expatiate to the homeseekers on the
many advantages possessed by their
tie or any other city in the west. Spo-
kane for years followed this policy,
and the result has been that it has
gradually forged ahead of all the cit
les on the north coast.
It was said that these Spokane
boomers were offering the settlers in
ducements to get off at their town by
agreeing to give them$5 for the por-
tion of their tickets taking them from
Spokane to Seattle. From st. Paul it
costs just as much to reach Spokane
as it does Seattle, and naturally a ma.
jority of the travellers took the ticket
which carries them the most miles for
the same money. There is, however, a
flaw in this arrangement if it were
ever suggested, because the railroad
company checks baggage through to
the destination on the tickets, and stop
overs are not allowed.

MAIL SACK
CUT open
And the Registered Packages
Stolen
BY A BOLD ROBBER
Who Walks Off With the Sack While the
Platform Is Crowded.-Has
So Far Escaped.
BY A BOLD ROBBER

Some time between the arrival and
departure of the west bound passenger
train on the Great Northern, Saturday
night mail sack was stolen from the
platform by some unknown person,
and up to the present time the officers
have not effected the arrest of the
thief.
The robbery was not discovered un-
til early Sunday morning, when a
trainman, who was making up train
to go out, stumbled across the mail
sack and it's contents almost opposite
the tracks.
So far as known nothing was dis
tulbed except the registered packages
And it is thought there were but two
of them.
Baggage Master Geddes. who, beside
giving his attention to an extremely
larger amount of baggage each night
looks after the government mail, re
moving it to the baggage room, where
it is kept until the transfer wagon ar
rives to take it to the post office. Sat
urday night he was kept on the jumI
owing to large number of trunks anG
packages arriving and barely had time
to get them into the baggage room
before No. 4 arrived. The mail was
loaded on the trucks and taken into
the baggage room, but as he has nj
way of knowing what mail arrives, al
the number of sacks is rarely tn,
same. the fact that one of the sacks
had been stolen was not known tt
him until he was informed by the
trainman. Sheriff Hand was at once
notified and the officers at once made
a vigorous search for the thief. Tht
government detectives have been mott
fed and are expected to arrive tonight
At the postoffice it was stated tha
as far as they knew, but two register
ed letters were taken and that thu
thief made a decidedly small haul
There is not one chance in a hundred
of the guilty party escaping although
the officers have only slight clue. Or
the night of the robbery a horse ant
blackboard were stolen from in from
of west side business house and tn,
police have SO far failed to locate tn,
horse although the blackboard was
found east of the city. It may b;
possible that the robber took that wa.
to get out of town.
The person who committed tn,
crime will in all probability be caugh
and as it will mean about 20 years IL
the penitentiary, it would seem tha
he took desperate chance for littl,
gain. The police department do no
think that more than one was impli
Gated in the robbery.

The automobiles which were on the steamer Eldorado when she struck at the mouth of He'll Gate are still piled on the bank near that point and If reports from Dawson are true thev will remain there some time.
 M. Clere, who claims to own the ma chimes and was with them when the steamer grounded, proceeded to Dawson and immediately made arrangements for their transl .ortation to that city. Recent arrivals from Dlwson say that MT. Clere suddenly gave up the i lea and since then has done nothing in the matter and it is generally thought that he has abandoned the scheme until next year.

He Knew ti,e SharIers' Game, but
 They Knew It Better.

AhGy tAhc" H ntttcFs
 In the days when things were wide open there was "brace" faro game on the other side of Canal street, where some pretty fat pigeons were frequent fy plucked. While this was going on broken down sport formed the habit of dropping in and securing a share of the plunder by simply betting the re- verse of the victim. The latter, for in- stance, would bet $50 one way on the ace, and the old sport, knowing posi- lively that the dupe would lose, would bet $5 the other way on the same card. In order to secure the $50 the dealer had to let the unwelcome visitor win his little five, and that sort of thing happened almost every time fresh fool was piloted into the establishment.
 Of course the sharpers who ran the game regarded this proceeding on the old sports part as a most outrageous invasion of their private rights, equiv. alent to blackmail. "I call it just the same as stealing for him to come in that way when we're skinning a man and take off a slice," said the main sharp, land he really ought to be ar- rested. We must do something to stop Sim."
 Accordingly they laid their heads to- gether and evolved Machiavelian scheme. A few days later stranger, who had all the appearances of very verdant planter, was steered into the place, and right behind him, as usual, came the old sport, scenting rich pick ings. After playing for awhile in a small way the stranger, who appeared to be more than half tipsy, pulled out huge roll of bills and offered to bet $1,5OO on the turn of a card. The prop osition was promptly accepted, and the other fellow, thinking he had the chance of his life, immediately put up $65, which was every cent he had on earth. To his consternation, the plant CT won and he lost. That broke him of the habit and was the last time he ever tried to rob robbers. It turned out later that the planter was Memphis gambler, made up" expressly for the role.-New Orleans Times-Democrat

False Economy.

I once knew a farmer whose wife had a desire to have her photograph taken. It was partly through harmless and per fectly proper vanity and partly through a desire to have her children remember her at her best that she wished it-for she was then young and beautiful. But her hardfisted husband put off the grati. fcation of her most cherished wish until routine farm life had done its inevitable work, and she was no longer lovely te look upon. She suffered her disappoint ment in silence. She brooded over the matter to such an extent that a molehill was magnified into a mountain and even tually led to the arrangement of husband and wife and the breaking up of the fam fly. His plea was economy" What a dreadful paradox! What would one think of the engineer of great steamship whc would allow his engines to become disa. bled through a so called too economical, application of lubricating oil.-Henry Clews In Success.
