The Governor Of Oregon Said TO

PROHIBITION TO THE FRONT
A Desperate Effort to Have Plank
Declaring Its Favor Placed in
Platform = Opinions Differ as to
Its Exact Nature However.

DENVER, June 2o-The fight over
the anti-injunction plank in the
Democratic platform is not the only
struggle in which the committee on
resolutions may possibly find itself.
1t developed today that the prohibi-
tion question is to be brought for
ward and that desperate effort will
be made to have the plank declaring
in its favor to be placed in platform.
Geaeral Weaver is heading this
movement The opinion differs as to
exact nature of the plank which
should be adopted but all are of one
mind that something definite shall be
declared, so there viii not be LETT a
possibility or doubt as to where the
party stands. 1t Is not generally be-
lieved that any anti-injunction plank
will provide for trial BY the jury in
the cases OF contempt, committed in
the presence OF the court or favor in
any way prerogatives of the federal
courts. Bryan's friends say that
these OF his critics who fear the
plank are fighting in the air. The
vice-presidential situation remains to
all appearance unchanged although
the boom of Lieutenant Governor
Chanler seems to have weakened
somewhat during the last two days.
This is due to the announcement of
National Committeeman Mack that
he is not empowered to speak for
Chanler and his interest in the mat
ter dictated by friendship. One new
name mentioned today was Governor
Chamberlain Of Oregon, he found
much favor with the leaders of the
party and it is said he will be per-
'onally acceptable to Bryan.

SAN FRANCISCO, June pa
serious explosion followed by fire
at an early hour today at Diamond
and Cheney streets, caused the death
OF four persons. seriously injured
three Others and completely destroy
cd the buildings. Loss, $4,000
The explosion took place in a
building occupied BY John Sweeny
and S. + Johnson, Sweeneys and a
family named Dismeyer lived in the
fats above. Al victims were in bed
at the time
Elder sweeney, his wife and daugh-
ter and little Antoine Dismeyer were
killed instantly. Antoine was baby
two years old and was blown through
a window and found in tree. The
cause OF the explosion as we'll as the
motive for crime is unknown. There
are theories that the coal oil in the
grocery below or leak in gas main
wrecked the structures proved un-
tenable and now the belief OF the
police is that dynamite was used.
Johnson, who keeps saloon in the
building, says there was fight in
his saloon last night and that some
one was involved in the trouble was
the author OF the outrage. The fact
that man named T. j. Gallagher
held lease on the premises lead to
rumor that the building belonged
to former Supervisor J. l.. Gallagher,
whose place was recently dynamited
in Oakland The former supervisor
has brother of the same initials as
Gallagher, who owns a lease on the
place blown up today and Detective
Burns believes that the perpetrator
OF the outrage may have confused the
men. This is admitted to be merely |
a surmise however.

LOUISE'S HAT TRIMMED.

Until she was six years old little
Louise had lived in the city. Then
her mother moved to smaller town
where the houses stood in large
yards, and there were trees and flow
ers and plenty of grass. Louise had
little garden all her own, and in 1t
she raised one tomato plant, one pea
vine, two dandelions and a geranium.
Think of that!
There were many other things
about her home that pleased little
Louise. One was a swing with two
chairs that faced each other, and
here she and her sister used to sit and
swing and play they were riding in
the cars.
One day Louise was sitting in the
swing alone, when a bird pumped
down out of the apple tree right upon
the crown of her hat. Louise was a
bit startled, but her mother, who
sat near in the hammock, called out:
Don't be frightened, dear; it is just
a baby robin! Keep still and see
what he will do"
So Louise kept still, and the robin
perched on her hat and looked about.
Then he seemed to think that he
would like to take a walk, for he
got down off the crown of Louise's
hat and hoped around the rim, until
at last he tumbled off into the grass.
Pussy saw the bird fall, and started
at once to creep slyly towards him,
but Louise's mother saw her and
scared her away, and picked the baby
robin up and put him in the tree,
where the old birds were making a
great fuss. They seemed glad to get
their baby back again.
Louise's mother says she doesn't
like hats trimmed with dead birds,
but if a little live bird wishes to trim
a hat with himself, why, that is quite
a different matter!-Mary Wood-.Al-
len, in Little Folks.

A BOOK COVER.

Many of our boys and girls no
doubt would like to have a neat cover
TO put on the books they read to
keep them from getting soiled. Here
is the way to make one that may be
used on any book of ordinary size.
The girls can make it for themselves;
the boys can ask their sisters good
Offices in the matter. Take a piece
of tailor's canvas eight inches wide
and seventeen and half inches long,
and on one end of it embroider an
initial or a monogram, as may be de-
sired. This should be done on the
part of the canvas that will cover
the front of the book. Line the can
vas with gold colored silk the same
size as the canvas, overseaming it on
all the way around, then bind it
around with half-inch crimson ribbon.
Fold in about two inches Oh one end
and fasten it at each edge. The back
of the book can be slipped in at this
end so that it will hold, and the
other end, being unfolded, may be
used to mark the place when the book
is laid aside. OF course the cover
may be of any size desired, but the
one here described Will answer for
most books. Chicago News.
