from their obstinate attacks and bonn

he can only conclude that the enemy
Will make every effort to capture the

will destroy the railroad and with

"The enemy, however" proceeds the

FOURTEEN PERIsHED.
Steamer Caught Fire While OF Pa.
cific Coast.


Port Townsend, Wash, Feb. 29.-Af-
ter suffering the most narrowing ex-
perience from fire and storm that has
ever befallen craft on the north Pa
cific coast the steamer Queen Sun
day put in here to report the loss of
fourteen lives.
About 3:45 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, while off the mouth of the Colum-
bia river, the Queen caught fire In her
after saloon in some unexplained way.
The fire rapidly gained headway and
threatened soon to envelop the whole
ship. The heavy seas running meant
death to any sent away in the life
boats. The flames became more and
more threatening until, when it
seemed choice of deaths, Captain
Cousins ordered the life boats
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 force of
the waves, two Of them were cap
sized.
The passengers and those of the
crew who remained on board con-
tinued their fight against the flames
with increasing success until 7:40
a. m. the fire was brought under con-
troll. When it was thought the danger
from fire was past Captain Cousins
recalled the life boats and the occu-
pants were taken aboard. She finally
weathered the gale, reached here with
out further mishap and proceeded to
Seattle, where she arrived about night
fall

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
o., contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure be

Form a Corporation.
TO ACQUIRE A rRAc.. OF LAND.
Promoters Believe Trey Fave Solved

Will Have All Advantages of Union
Without Joining C.e.

Chicago, Jan. 12yhe Chicago pa
pers today print a s;c:y to the effect
that 5000 OF the employees OF the city
and OF the Unitell 81 ties government
located in Chicago Lave hit upon
plan which will give them all the adj
vantages Of belonging to labor union
without in fact becominI members OF
such an organization The story, in
effect, is that 10000 acres of land
have been acquired in the province Of
Chihuahua, Mex, and are at the pres
ent time held under an option. This
land is the proposed property of the
corporation which is to be formed.
OF this corporation, which is ostensi-
bly, to be a land holding organization,
policemen, firemen and postal en-
ployes are to be the shareholders, and
all the deliberations OF the body are
to be held behind closed doors. One
Of the chief rules is to be that no one
member is to hold more than ten
shares of stock, the par value OF which
is 81 per share. With the money thus
gathered, which may be increased by
assessment when the directors de-
eide, legislation is to be influenced
Aldermen, members of the legislature,
congressman and senator's are to be
approached and made 10 feel the
power OF he organization, which its
promoters insist can not be touched
on account Of the fact that there can
be no interference with the property
rights of a corporation or OF its rights
to secret elaboration. Should the
departure prove successful and in
vulnerable to hostile edicts which
might he issued by the president of
the United States or the mayor of
Chicago, branches OF the organization,
each owning its own tract and hold
ing its own meetings behind closed
doors, viii be formed and the united
action OF government employees as well
as those of the large cities through
out the country will be secured In
this city an organization OF policemen
was broken up after a hard fight and
within the last six weeks Mayor Har-
rison and Chief Musham OF the fire
department have been compelled to is
sue strong order against the forina-
ton of a labor union by the firemen
