FIRE ON A STEAMER.
Narrowing Experience Of Those on
Board the Queen.
FOURTEEN LIVES LOST IN THE OCEAN
Two LifebOats into Which Women and
Children Had Been Placed Capsized BY
the Fierce Waves-The Fire Finally
Brought Under Control.

Port Townsend, Wash, Feb. 29.-
After suffering the most narrowing ex
perience from fire and storm that hal
ever befallen craft on the North Pa
cific coast the steamer Queen yester-
day put in here to report the loss o.
IA lives.
About 3:45 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, while off the mouth Of the Co
lumbia river, the Queen caught fire
In her after saloon in some unex-
planned way. With indescribable
swiftness the fire gained Roadway and
threatened soon to envelop the whole
ship. To add to the horror the heavy
seas running meant death to any sent
away in the lifeboats. The flames be-
came more and more threatening until,
wheR 1t seemed choice Of deaths,
Capt. Cousins ordered the lifeboats
launched. They were manned by the
crew and ordered to remain close to
the ship. Into these the women and
children were placed. Hardly, how
ever, had the boats been cast loose
than, unable to weather the fierce
waves, two of them were capsized.
The passengers and those OF the crew
who remained on board continued
their fight against the flames with in
creasing success until at 7:40 a. m,
the fire was brought under control.
When it was thought the danger from
fire was past Capt. Cousins recalled
the lifehoats and the occupants were
taken aboard. The Queen was headed
for the mouth of the Columbia river
and about nine o'clock the steamer
Santa Monica was sighted. The Queen
signaled and asked her to stand by
until temporary repairs could be
made. When everything had been
made safe the Queen continued on to
the mouth of the Columbia, only to
find the bar was too rough to cross
In. The distressed craft was pointed |
toward Puget sound, but bad fortune |
still pursued and, when she rounded |
Cape Flattery, she encountered ter /
rife electrical storm. With difficulty /!
she weathered the gale and arrived |
here without further mishap and pro-
ceeded to Seattle, where she arrived
At about nightfall.
Passengers when interviewed yester-
day afternoon stated that everything
possible was done by the captain.
Had 1t not been necessary to send of
the boats not life would have been
lost, but as It was dark when the fire
started and 1t was impossible to light
he vessel or to confine the women to
their staterooms 1t was absolutely
necessary to send them away to avoid
! panic.

We Offer $1,000
For Disease Germ That Liquozone Can't Kill

On every bottle Of Liquouone we
publish an offer Of $1,000 for disease
germ that it cannot kill. We do that
to convince you that Liquozone does
as we claim.
Please note what that means. Any
drug that kills germs is a poison, and
It cannot be taken internally. Medi-
cine is, therefore, almost helpless in
any germ disease. Liquozone alone
can kill germs in the body without
killing the tissues, too.

Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do for these
troubles Is to help Nature overcome

the germs, wherever they are, and the
results are inevitable. By destroying

I'M FEAR OF A MOB.
Three Companies Of Militia Sur
rounding the Jail at Meridian.
A SUSPECTED MURDERER ARRESTED.
The Negro Identified as One of the Ran
dts Who Robbed the Mall Car on tho
Mobile q Ohio Road-Gov. Var
damau Interviewed.

Memphis, Tenn, March la spe-
cial to the Commercial Appeal from
Meridian, Miss, says:
Three fill companies Of state troops
last night surrounded the county Jail
In which Is lodged ]. p. Paris, me-
gro, who Is charged with the killing
Of John r. Stockton, mail clerk; the
serious wounding Of J. A. Bass, an
other mail clerk, and the robbery Of
the mall car on the Alabama Great
Southern train which left this city
yesterday morning for Birmingham.
Paris was captured early yesterday,
bloodhounds following a bloody trail
strewn with bits Of registered letters
to a negro cabin, where Paris was
found. As soon as the capture Of the
supposed bandit was noised abroad
there were indications that mob
might attempt to lynch him. Gov.
Vardaman wired Mai. Dement,, Of
this city, to call out the state militia
and to protect the negro prisoner "at
all hazards"
The train had stopped at the Mobile
G. Ohio railroad crossing yesterday
morning when negro sprang into the
mail car and opened fire on the two
clerks and a mail weigher named
Ivans. At the first shot Stockton fell
dead, shot In the mouth. Bass was
hit in the shoulder and arm and fell
unconscious. The negro seized
through registered mail pouch and
sprang from the car.
Paris was in bed at the time of his
capture and an investigation showed
that one Of his feet had been recently
cut off at the ankle. Paris protests
his innocence of any completely in the
hold-up. He claims to live at Selma,
Ala, and says that negro named Joe
Murray, Of Birmingham, Ala, was the
author Of the hold-up
Paris was taken before Mail Clerk
Bass and identified by him as the
bandit who perpetrated the robbery.
A special session of court has been
called to try the prisoner. 1t is
thought that more than one person
was implicated In the robbery and the
negro family In whose cabin Paris was
captured has been placed under ar
rest.

Acts Like Oxygen.

Equozone is the result Of a process
which, for more than 40 years, has
been the constant subject OF scientific
and chemical research. Its virtues are
derived solely from gas, made in large
part from the best oxygen producers.
By a process requiring immense ap-
paratus and "a days time, these gases
are made part OF the liquid product.
The result Is a product that does
what oxygen does. Oxygen gas, as
you know, is the very source OF vital
~, the most essential element Of life.
Liquozone is vitalizing tonic with
which no other known product can
compare. But germs are vegetables;
and Equozone, which-like Oxygen
IS life to an animal. is deadly to vege-
tai matter.
