BOYS SHOT into
POWDER HOUSE

Atoms and the Third Can
not Possibly Recover.

man were killed in a powder explosion
near here this morning. Powder house

three situated about one mile from
YIeka. The explosion completely de-
molished house No. and blew the roof
off Of house No. 2, but No. was un-
hurt. The scene at the site of house No.
disclosed a hole of some ten feet,
twisted railroad rails and debris in
every direction for a distance of a
quarter of a mile Nearly every bust
ness house in Yreka had windows bro
ken. Remnants of clothing, a foot,
particles of hair and flesh found on the
hillside indicate that two boys were
blown to atoms. BERTHE Holland was
found about seventy-five yards from
the scene with his face lacerated and
two holes in his temple, evidently from
stones. The doctors say he cannot re-
cover.
Two Rifles Found.
Two small rifles found near the body
were badly damaged. 1t is supposed
that the boys shot into the powder
house through a ventilator. The mag
azine belonged to the Giant Powder
company. consolidated. and a carload
of powder had been stored there the
day before.
James D. Fairchild had narrow es-
cape. He was within 300 yards of the
house when the explosion occurred and
stones from the building fell around
him. People over q. mile away were
knocked down and the shock was felt
two miles away.
DR.. o. B. Spalding and wife of San
Francisco had just passed the boys
with the guns and were opposite the
third powder house when the disaster

CHINESE LOST CERTIFICATES.
San Francisco Fire Leaves $4,000
Without Identification.

The officials OF the local immigra-
ton bureau are now confronted with
a serious problem and in which argu-
ments for and against are endless,
says Seattle dispatch. The officials
received word from San Francisco
that fully $4,000 Cinnamon lost their
certificates in the late fire. Many are
coming to Seattle, and the officials
are wondering what course they will
proceed with, IL they are accosted
with the remark that certificates were
lost in the fire.
At the local office 1t was stated
that a thorough examination would be
made of each Chinaman who had lost
his certificate. If a reasonable ex-
PLANTATION of his movements for the
past three or four years is given, new
certificates will be issued. The in
spectors state that the Cinnamon
know the number of their certificates,
the same as the average person knows
his residence address. Duplicate cer-
tificates are on file at Washington,
and after some delay, description, etc,
of the Chinaman could be produced.
Local Cinnamon have received word
from San Francisco that the Califor-
MIA Chinese are to make an effort
before the highest authorities for a
complete re-registration of their peo-
pie.

Protect Proprietary Medicines.

Did 1t ever occur to you that pro-
prietary medicines are blessing 10
mankind generally? The good on.s
have long continued sale; the poor
ones have short life and soon leave
the market.
1t we had to depend entirely upon
physicians and druggists It would be
expensive and very inconvenient at
times especially in the country and
at night when neither could be con-
veniently reached. For nearly 40
years Boschee's German Syrup has
been used in many families and
thousands Of lives have been saved
by its use. when 1t was impossible to
reach a physician. German Syrup Is
the best household remedy for coughs,

loosens the phlegm. and brings sound

HAWAII NEEDS LABORERs.
Portuguese Immigrants Will Be Induc.
ell to Go to the Sandwich Islands.

The northwest states are not alone
In their demands for more laborers
to carry on the great public improve
ments. The Hawaiian territorial gov
eminent is also making strenuous eff.
forts to induce settlers to go to the
islands, because of the scarcity of Ia
Dor and the impossibility of securing
labor at the right season of the year
to save the sugar crop of the islands
A special from Honolulu says of the
effort of the territory to secure Por-
tuguese immigrants:
f. Il. Stackable, United States col
lector of customs for the port of Hon.
olulu. has obtained a leave of alb
sence and is now on his way to the
Azores Islands to solicit Portuguese
immigrants to labor on the Hawaiian
plantations. Mr.. Stackable has been
commissioned for that purpose by the
territorial board of immigration, and
he will endeavor to secure at least
1000 families, which will represent
about 5000 people.
There is law which prevents the
planters from sending money to immi-
grants, or in any way providing di-
rectly for their importation, but the
local plantation owners have raised
100000 and placed in the hands of
the board of immigration, which has
a right to arrange for the coming of
the foreigners.

$23O,000 has already been subscribed
toward the project. and there are yet
about 20 of the soliciting committee
to report. 1t is said the sum needed
is now in sight. So we'll are the
building bonds regarded as an invest
ment that many applications are re-
ceived from persons outside of the
organization. Pendleton business
men have applied for $500 of the
bonds. A subscription of 800 came
from The Dalles.
The club has nearly 1000 members,
and the officials are desirous that the
bonds be sold to the membership. The
bonds will yield s per cent, and are
secured by mortgage on the proper
ty, so that there is every reason to
believe they are an investment as Sc
cure as city bonds. A payment has
been made on the building site, and
more money will soon be needed to
complete the payment. A levy of
about 40 per cent of subscription will
be made on the investors as soon as
the building corporation Of the club
Is formed. Architects are counseling
with the building committee on plans
for the structure. 1t will be a COM
bination building for club and busi-
ness purposes. One of the floors will
be designed for apartments, to be
rented to bachelor members of the
club, and for use of distinguished vis-
itors.

LUMBER FOR FRISCO.
Washington Lumber Trust Holds I'm
the Prices.

Lumber mills in this state are pre-
pared now to supply San Francisco
with lumber at a rate sufficient to
construct 400 temporary shacks n
day, says the Seattle Star. Washing
ton mills, it Is said, are capable of
turning out approximately 10000, 900
feet day, and the Oregon mills A.
100000 day. 1t is expected that the
shipments to California, commencing
now, and to continue indefinitely, will
exceed $500, 100000 feet. The de-
mand of course, cannot be supplied
owing to the serious shortage of logs
Lumber dealers have not given San
Francisco dealers and contractors any
lower rate than usual, instead they
are higher than what they were some
time ago, or before San Francisco was
destroyed. A prominent lumberman
speaking of the supply and lumber
rates at San Francisco, said this
morning:
"It is generally understood at this
time that a syndicate of contractors
and finaneiers are handling all the
building in San Francisco. even the
small temporary shacks. There is
money enough in circulation down
there now, to pay reasonable price
for our lumber.
"I understand that mills in Hum
boldt county, in the northern end of
California, are making heavy ship
ments of redwood. The mills in this
state are turning out shipments as fast
as possible. We do not expect that
the rush will continue for more than
a year, as the temporary houses are
what the lumber is needed for now"

We believe they will gladly emulate

VIII Measure Their Electricity.

The placing of meters to determine
the amount of electricity utilized by
the city was Endorsed by the city
council at the regular meeting Mon
day night. The matter was brought
before the council by Councilman
Wing and was strongly indorsed by
Councilman Phillips. In the general
discussion 1t developed that a belief
existed that the city was not receiving
the light provided for by the contracts
and the installation of meters woul1
serve as a protection both to the city
and power company.
An ordinance will be prepared pro-
viding for charges to be made by the
city engineer when work is performed
for private parties. On account of the
character of the duties of the engin-
eer's office his services are often re-
quired by private parties and the ordi-
nance will provide a uniform charge
for all work.-Lewiston Teller.

VERY ANCIENT RUINS.
Supposed to Date Back to the Bond
age OF the Israelites.

supposed to Date Back to the Bond
age OF the Isrnelites.
Boston. Mass, May 1S.-The Rev.
DR.. William Copley Winslow, a noted
archaeologist of this city, has received
an extensive communication from
Professor Flinders Petrie, the well
Psychologist, containing some highly
interesting details of his recent dis
coveries near Cairo, Egypt.
According to the statements of Pro-
fessor Petrie he has discovered the
remains of the Temple of Onias at
Tel-El- hu-dieh, IS miles north Of
Cairo. and he has brought to light
evidence of the presence of the Hyk-
sos. or shepherd kings, in, the Delta,
thereby solving an interesting puzzle
on this point Prof. Petrie also states
that he has in all probability, identi-
fled the treasure city OF Rameses
built by the Israelites in bondage
thousands of years before the time Of
Christ. The construction of the city
is referred to in the first chapter of
the Book of Exodus.
The mounds of Tel-El-Yahu- dieh
Linant, the French engineer and ex-
plorer. Subsequently Greyville Ches-
ter, Hayter Lewis, Brugsch Bey and
others examined or excavated the
site. In 1887, for the Egypt Explora-
ton fund, Professor Naville made de-
termined efforts to disclose the Sc
crets of the mounds, but did not sue
ceed.
Professor Petrie, in his commune
cation to DIR. Winslow, says: "Our
discovery of the actual town and tenn
pie site OF Onias Is beyond a doubt.
1t is very clear case of all the
known requirements being satisfied
as to date, place, conditions and
building. Besides the temple site and
city, we have a remarkable historical
subject here in clearing the Hyksos
cemetery and the great fort of the
Hyksos. The tombs contain scarabs
of the Hyksos, and we have got at
this place scarabs of Khyan, Apepi H.,
and Skhanra, who were probably all
Hyksos"
