The Weather.
LOST HIS NERVE.
Why 1t Was That Big Pete Failed to
Hit the Sheriff.

Hit the Sheriff.
There We're thirty men in the White
Wolf saloon when the sheriff of Silver
county sauntered in to arrest big Pete
Thompson for murder. Pete was play
| ing hand in a game of poker, and
after nodding to him the sheriff stood
up at the bar and called for Il drink.
His back was scarcely turned when
Pete laid down his cards, pulled his
gun and fired six shots as fast as his
finger could pull the trigger. The sheriff
never moved. When the smoke had
rolled out of the open door and we
could see, the sheriff stood in the same
position and wore the same smile. One
bullet had burned his cheek: a second
had grazed his ear; Il third had cut
through his shirt collar under the left
ear. Big Pete was Il dead shot. and
yet he had missed his man at fifteen
feet.
"Got through. Pete:" asked the sher-
iff, breaking Il silence that was posi-
lively painful.
And you-you are not heeledw
gasped Pete as his arm sunk slowly
down.
No; come on"
You didn't bring your guns
mo; if you are through shooting,
Wen co.
Pete laid his two guns down on the
table before him and walked to the
door and out into the street. His horse
was tied to Il post block away. He
reached the horse, mounted and then
headed down the long street after the
sheriff, who was giving him not the
slightest attention. In five minutes the
pair were out of sight.
what allied Pete?" was asked of
the barkeeper, who had come to the
door of the saloon.
Lost his nerve" he brusquely re
piled.
How do you mean?'
why, the sheriff coming without a
gun and standing there TO be shot Mt
took all his sand away and made u wO-
man of him.
Suppose the sheriff had had gum"
The man jcrked his head toward the
field wherein fifteen or twenty victims
had been buried and said:
He'd "a bin over thar
"And will big Pete get clear?''
Likely; but he'll have 10 leave here.

Loss and Insurance.

1t is impossible to arrive at any ac-
curate estimate of the loss. The
county farm was purchased in 1853 at
a cost of $1,000 and the frame build
ing that was destroyed was then on
the place. Since that time it has been
rebuilt and additions made TO it part
~ through direct appropriations by
the county board and partly from the
returns yielded by the farm. No com
prehensive accounts have been kept
of these expenditures. Probably all
the improvements on the farm were
worth from So, 900 to $4,000.
The total amount of fire insurance
carried on the various buildings at
the county infirmary is $4,000, dis

AGAINST REVISION
BELGIAN DEPUTIES REJECT THE
SOCIALIST PROPOSAL
No Specific Promises Are Made. But Partial
Reforms May Be Grnnted- Serious Riots
Occur Throughout the Country In Which
Many are Killed and Woundsd--AsitatlON
Dspresses Trade

Brussels, April 21.-The chamber Of
representatives by "a to 81 votes. re-
jected the proposal to revise the Bel
gian constitution so as to provide for
universal suffrage.
Mr.. Smeetz, Socialist, accused the
government of being anxious to loosen
$1,000 soldiers against their brethren.
But they would be unable to extermin-
ate Socialism, he added, and enough
Socialists would remain to continue
the struggle. As the government was
not willing to counsel the king to de
his duty, nothing was left but for the
Socialists to address his majesty direct
ly and plead for his Intervention. II
he but said the word, peace would be
re-established.
NJ. Woeste, leader of the Right party
in the chamber, when summing up the
debate for the government, pointed out
that vote hostile to revision did not
imply absolute hostility to reform, il
this was discussed in peaceful times.
"The government supporters are pre-
pared" said M. Woeste, TO consider
proposals for reform in plural voting,
although they could not go as far as
universal suffrage pure and simple" ;"
This speech is regarded as showing
the willingness of the government 10
grant partial reform in the future.
Great excitement followed the vote
in the chamber. The Socialists held a
meeting in the Maison du Peuple, at
which M. Vanderveld, the leader Of the
Socialists in Belgium, urged his hearers
to be calm and said he hoped King
Leopold would still intervene.
The meeting passed resolution to
continue to strike and dispersed with
out disorder.
The people of this city are generally
impatient with the agitation, which
greatly impedes trade and business.
1t is rumored here that King Leopold
has decided to take the initiative and
dissolve parliament.
A serious riot has occurred at Lou
vain, near Brussels. The Socialists
held demonstration in front Of the
residence of NJ. Schollaert, president of
the chamber Of deputies. The police,
in attempting to disperse them, were
received with shower of stones. The
civic guard then fred on the mob. A
similar riot occurred in another part oi
Louvain and altogether five persons
were killed and IL wounded. Another
riot is reported to have occurred at
Bruges, in Flanders, Here the police
charged the Socialists with drawn
swords, and 10 of the latter werS
wounded.
The German Socialists have sub
scribed 10, 900 marks for the Socialist
movement in Belgium.

STEAMER BURNED.
Big Passenger Boat on the Mississippi Totally
Destroyed, and Many Lives Lost.

Cairo, Ill.,. April 22.--One of the
worst disasters in the history of river
navigation occurred shortly after 4 A.
NJ. near Ogden's landing, near this
city. While almost all on board were
asleep, the steamer City of Pittsburg,
from Cincinnati to Memphis, was dis
covered to be on fire, and in a few
moments was burned to the waters
edge. The loss of over $50, 900 on the
steamer does not include the cargo,
both being a total loss. The latest
estimates are that there we're $50 per-
sons on board, and that not more than
half of them were saved, many of the
latter being burned or injured. As the
register Of the steamer was burned, no
list can be given either of the victims
or the survivors, and in the confusion
it has been impossible to get complete
lists. Captain Phillips admits that the
death list may reach so.
The fire was discovered in the for
ward larboard hatch at 4:05 A. NJ,
and burned fiercely. Most of the pas
sengers were still in bed when Second
Clerk Phillips gave the alarm. The
engineers at once started all the pump
ing engines, and the crew brought all
the hose into play. Amid the streams
of water on all sides, the flames from
the lower deck and dense clouds OF
smoke, the passengers rushed from
their staterooms and frightful panic
ensued. The appeals of the officers
and crew could not appease the terror
stricken crowds that interfered with
those who threw water on the flames
as we'll as those working with the life
boats. Boats from the shore took of
numerous passengers.
The burning steamer was quickly
headed for the bank. A number o
passengers who jumped off the sterl
and tried to swim ashore through tn,
swift current were drowned. Man,
also perished in the flames, Help, ex
cept from people living near by, di'
{ not arrive until 2:30 in the afternoon
and passengers with only night clothe
and without food suffered terribly.
} The steamer Maud Kilgore brough
) the survivors to this place and the sew
eral societies Of the city rendered al
r possible assistance in the way of cloth
ing, etc.

COSTLY FIRE AT DALLAS.
The Texas City Suffers From Supposed In.
cendiary Blazss.

Dallas, Tex, April 22.-Two persons
we're fatally injured and property loss
of $3.50, 900 caused by several fires
which occurred here shortly after 3 a.
m. At that hour an alarm was turned
in from the Dorsey printing establish
ment, and several other alarms from
different parts of the city we're turned
in in quick succession. After fighting
the fire for two hours, Chief Magee was
prostrated, and the command was
turned over to an assistant. The chief
was rescued from the flames by the
police in an unconscious condition, but
was later reported to be out of danger.
A fireman was struck in the face with
brick and fatally injured, A young
son of Chief Magee was found on the
floor of the enigne room at the central
station with fractured skull. 1t is
supposed that the lad attempted to
slide from the bunk room to the engine
room and fell to the floor below. He
probably will die. The Dorsey Print
ing Company's plant was totally de-
stroyed, the loss being about 5000, 900.
While the Dorsey fire was in progress
fire broke out on Lamar street and
20 buildings were destroyed. Half OF
them we're business houses and the re-
mainder boarding houses and dwell
ings. The Griffith Lumber Company
is one of the principal losers in that
section of the city, where it is esti-
mated the loss will aggregate $3.50, 600,
of which the Griffith company sustains
$50, 900. The loss of a large imple-
ment company is not accurately known.
About dozen smaller mercantile and
manufacturing establishments were de-
stroyed.
While the two big fires were raging
third broke out in the residence dis
trict of Fisher Lane, in South Dallas,
two miles distant, which destroyed foul
cottages worth $4,000. Insurance
men are positive that the fire on Fisher
Lane was incendiary, and the police
and fire departments are strongly in
clined to believe that all were due t
incendiaries.

APPROPRIATIONS STAND.
Main items Of the River and harbOr Bill 80
Through Without Change.

Washington, April 23.-The fact that
the river and harbor bill just passed
carrying all the amendments made by
the senate committee means that every
house provision which has been en-
dOrsed by the senate will be retained,
and question arises as to what senate
amendments will be stricken out in
conference. The mouth of the Colum-
bia is certain to retain its cash appro-
priation of $500, 900, with contracts
for 81 ,000,000 additional, and the
Willamette and Columbia below Port
land the full allowance in the original
bill. There is fear on the part of
some senators that the commerce COM
mittee added lot to the bill for "trad-
ing" purposes. In order to hold some
things that the conferees are anxious
to have, others are to be swept off upon
the demands of the house conferees for
concessions.
Senator Mitchell took occasion to
show the senate the Importance of the
Columbia river in brief speech. He
congratulated and thanked the senate
committee for its amendment in refer
ence to the improvement at the dalles,
and expressed the hope that the con-
ferees would stand by it. He present
ed petition from 4 100 citizens of Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho favorins
the amendment, and asked that it b'
considered by the conference com
mittee.
