A Wcman Millionaire YEARS AGO SHE BOUGHT A MINE THAT IS NOW A BONANZA. A Western Syndicate Has Offered Her . $600,000, But Her Price Is a Million —If She Gets It She Will Be Americas' Richest Colored Person. From the Chicago Chronicle. Miss Lulu R. Davis, colored, aged thirty years, divorced from her husband, Robert Davis, claims to have a mine in Colorado for which she has refused the sum of $600,000. She wants $1,000,000. If the syndicate which is now diving with her yields to her demands for her assistance, convey her to a lot of 125x150 feet, located in the village of Plainfield, Col. Otherwise she will keep the lot and work the gold out of it. She says that for fifty feet below the surface on her place there is little else except gold. She has had reports from assays and mining experts, who have told her that she would be foolish to sell her to a company now asks. Her home at 3227 Prairie is modest enough in appearance. The steps are old, the paint on the outer walls has long since been driven away by wind and rain. Cucumber vines almost hide the doorway. Over in the corner of the little plaza there is a gourd vine that has a thousand leaves. The seeds were brought from Kenyan. The former home of Miss Davis, but Miss Davis now lives gourds for drinking purposes as do her countrywoman at Owensboro. Owensboro is her native town. She resided there until eight years ago, when she came to Chicago. At Owensboro she lived with Dr. W. S. Stirman, a man of considerable wealth and standing in that part of the blue grass state. She was mald to Mrs. Stirman and as such accompanied the family on and summer tours. She has visited and traversed Mexico, climbed mountains in Alaska and shot the rapids in Canada. In 1890 an agent for mining properties in Colorado visited Owensboro. It was not long before he had interested Dr. Stirman. Dr. Stirman talked about his investment at the dinner table one evening and Miss Davis the next morning. The doctor in his office and asked if he thought it profitable for her to invest a few of her saved dollars in Colorado real estate. Her employer told her Laat he had. At that time Plainfield bid fair to become one of the great towns of the Rockies. Cripple Creek was then unknown. Stratton, subsequently the king of miners, was then pursuing his business as a plainsman. He was little going on in and around that part of the undeveloped west.

Flaming-circulars were scattered over the country singing the praises of this marvelous region. Miss Davis has never been to Colorado. In all the long years she had owned property there she has paid taxes and trusted to luck. A month ago she was informed that gold was worth more than not surprise her, according to her statement. She had a dream. The dream was vivid and she had not eaten lobster for supper. In the night she saw yellow ridges of gold dust. To the north loomed huge mountains. For down in the valley she saw a sea of smoke. Around here were huge boulders. The lake was out from under the scrublike bushes of water as it coursed through pebbles was music to her ears. Above were stars of indescribable luster. She did not wake up until next morning. Then to her mind everything was settled. Her place in Colorado would not be sold for its taxes, as was threatened. She would work harder than ever she might save enough to satisfy the demand of the assessor of the county. The first year Miss Davis owned the lot her taxes amounted to $2.50. Last year gold was discovered in a ravine near her property and the assessment was raised to $44. This she received in fifty times this sum when the assessor interviews her representative in January next. Now, however, she declares that her brother has supplied her with funds and that she will go within the next forty eight. When I return," she said, "I expect to be the richest colored woman in the world." OTTUMWA. Mr. Art Henderson left Monday for Des Moines, after a short visit with relatives and friends in this city.

Des Molines, Oct. 7.—Auditor of State Meriam rulied yesterday that a person who accepts insurance from companies unauthorized to transact in the state can have no standing in the courts of Iowa in case of loss. The ruling was given in the case of Hartman & Daniels of Clinton against the Northwestern Fire Insurance company and the Great Britain Fire Insurance corporation, which is based in Chicago, is the location of the United States office of both companies. Hartman & Daniels of Clinton suffered a loss after taking policies with them and then sought to collect. The attorneys of the insured desired the auditor to accept service provided in section 1723 of the code. The auditor answered that neither insurance company had complied with the Iowa laws and neither was authorized to transact business and that the insurance company had not defendant had complied with section 1758 of the code, which provides that no action shall be maintained in any court in the state upon any policy or insurance company, unauthorized company unless it is shown that insurer or insured, in six months after the policy has been taken out, has paid to the treasury of the insurance company, premiums paid, or agreed to be paid, for such policy or contract of insurance. The attorneys for Hartman & Daniell are advocating for the service of notices and forward them to the companies, cited the decision of the supreme court in the case of Sparks vs. the National Masonic Accident association, as found in the case of Sparks vs. the Insurance Company that a company having transacted business in this state is estopped from denying the operation of its laws upon it and that service on the insurance company has not complied with the state laws. Mr. Merriam took the ground this decision was not in point as it was rendered before section 1758 above mentioned was enacted. Finally, the attorneys for the Clinton firm offered to pay the tax due the state and on its payment the auditor had informed her that the service amount of the tax is small, being $1. The disregard of the statute, not the amount at stake, prompted Auditor Merriam to take the position he did. BOILER EXPLORES IN CRESTON. Carried 100 Feet Through Business District.

Which case is more likely? She has a yellow hang on the evidence given by Holada. Would you say it is proven beyond a doubt the woman is an adultress by Holada's statement? The time and place will come when I will answer to Holada's charge of a case. I will not not in this case. I now leave the fate of Ella Gallaugher in your hands, asking not for sympathy, but justice. I see two pictures your verdict may bring, one a broken, dejected woman, incarcerated forever in a prison; the other a woman who confidently awaits your verdict of the two sweetest words imaginable to her, 'Not guilty.' SELF DEFENSE FOR HUNTER. Claim Also Made That Sentence Was Too Heavy Des Moines, Oct. 10—The Matt Hunter case from Ringgold county was argued before the supreme court of Iowa yesterday, and attracted more attention among lawyers and others in the state. It was argued by oral argument for some time. The appeal for a reversal and new trial was made by United States Attorney Miles. Hunter shot and killed Homer Holland in Mt. Ayr three months ago. A gambling quarrel ensued up in the court, that it was a case of self-defense and that Hunter had been attacked by Holland, the latter rushed upon the defendant and making a move to draw a revolver at the same time and it was shot. He contended also that the instructions were erroneous in that they presumed the guilt of the defendant and failed to indicate the proper rule of self-defense. It was also contended that the sentence was unusually long, the court contended in the second degree and was given a life sentence. He had failed to find another instance in the history of the state when the extreme penalty had been given for second degree murder for the prosecution and contended the verdict and sentence were just and were borne out by the record.

PEOPLE SEEM INDIFFERENT Cuban Government Seems Incited Not to Adhere to the Treaty Under the Platt Amendment-Delay All on the Side of Cuba. Washington, Oct. 10.—The situation as to Cuba is such as present as to give officials here great concern. It is feared that Cuba is drifting away and evidence is multiplying day by day to mark the growth of a spirit of indifference toward the cultivation of friendly commercial relations with the United States that almost borders on hostage. The best efforts of the state department thus far have failed to secure the adhesion of the Cuban government to the treaty which, by the terms of the Platt amendment, must be entered into. This delay is on all one side, namely, at Havana, for Secretary Hay and the Cuban minister, Senor Quesada, have performed their part in drafting a treaty which it is believed carries out That treaty is now awaiting the approval of the Cuban government, which approval is withheld, not with any expressed intention of rejecting it. The Cuban government regarded here as the natural inertia of the Cubans in diplomatic matters. This treaty includes provisions for a considerable measure of reciprocity between the United States and Cuba, and it also includes provisions that the United States has been rather niggrily in the arrangements of the reciprocity schedules those objections are not regarded as sufficient to prevent the United States from including the treaty. However, there is no intention, it is said, to resort to any undue pressure on the Culans, so long as there is no discrimination against Cuba or against another country. It is believed that as Cuba is the principal sufferer from the lack of treaty relations with the United States, internal pressure soon becomes the action on the pending convention. CONSUL BRAGG TRANSFERRED. State Department Send Him to Hong Kong. Because of Letter. "Uncle Sam might as well try to make a whistle out of a pig's tail as to try to make something out of the letter. The letter was published on July 14. By direction of the state department, Mr. Squiers called on General Bragg for an explanation. He at once admitted the accuracy of the quotation, but refused to explain. He pleased in a purely personal letter to his own family. But, without discussing this question with the general, the state department decided that a letter should be sent to find another place for General Bragg. About two weeks ago this was found through the willingness of United States Consul General Wm. A. E. Bragg to change his post for that at Havana. Mr. Ruble's post at Hong Kong is salaried at $5,000 per annum, and as his notarial费, to all of which he is entitled, amounted last year to $1,047, will not lose very much by the change. WOMAN LEADS BOXER FIGHT. Victoria, B. C., Oct. 7.—Advices have been received from China of the increase of Boxerism both in Sze-Chuen and Chl-1. In Sze-Chuen, the Boxers, and Chl-1, have been given provincial capital, and there were some sanctuary sights in the streets.

Letter from Prince Tuan, Yung Luai, said that the boxers had in their possession. This woman, who is described as being handome, had attracted 50,000 Boxers to her standard. The Chung Klang correspondent for the North China News says: "The Chung Klang powerful rebel chief in Sze-Chuen." It is estimated that 1,500 native Christians have been killed in this province. In Chi Li the Boxers are secretly drilling every morning before daylight, even in the vicinity of the capital. TO RELIEVE COAL FAMINE New York, Oct. 6.—Chas.

Operators and Miners Remain Firm After New York Meeting. New York, Oct. 10.—Replete at its opening with promise of a solution of the long drawn out struggle between the United Mine Workers of America and the operators of the anthracite properties in Pennsylvania, a clear with respect to a parent appreciable progress toward an agreement on the issues in controversy. The most noteworthy of the day's events was a conference at the office of Senator Thomas C. Platt, at which there were present, among others, the two senators from New York and nearly all the heads of the big corporation controlling the anthracite fields. In all seeming, this conference had a contrary effect to that which had been hoped from it, and the operators departed declaring adherence to the first of resisting the demands of the miners' union to the bitter end. There were other conferences during the day in which President Mitchell and people of more or less consequence in the industrial world participated, but so far as information good barren of result as the principal meeting. In brief, there had been no change so far as it might have been affected by the gathering in New York of labor leaders, mine operators and public men. Washington, Oct. 10. The following was made public at the white house yester-ay: "Office National President, United Mine Workers of America, John Mitchell, National President, Second Vice President American Federation of Workers, Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 8, 1902.

"We desire to assure you again that we feel keenly the responsibility of our position and the gravity of the situation, and it would give us great pleasure and would give this concur strike to an edin in a manner that would safeguard the interests of our constituents. In proposing that there be an immediate resumption of coal mining upon the conditions we suggested in the conference we had gone more than half way and met your wishes. "It is unnecessary in this letter to refer to the malicious assault upon us in the response of the coal operators, but we have been impressed with the fairness of our proposition and the insincerity of those who maligned us. "Having in mind our experiences with the coal operators in the area we have worked on any degree of confidence in the future, and inasmuch as they have refused to accept the decision of a tribunal selected by you, and inasmuch as there is no doubt that we will force the findings of the commission you suggested we respectfully decline to advise our people to return to work simply upon the hope that the coal operators might be induced or forced to comply with our recommendations of your commission. "As stated above, we believe that we went more than half way in our proposal at Washington, and we do not feel that we should be asked to make "We appreciate your solicitude for the people of our country who are now and will be subjected to no end of suffering, inconvenienced by a prolongation of the coal strata and this terrible state of affairs should be placed upon the side which has refused to refer to fair and impartial investigation. Washington, Oct. 8.—The following statement was made public at the white house yesterday afternoon the day before that Harrell D. Wright, commissioner of labor, went to Philadelphia and gave to Mr. John Mitchell the following from the president: Mr. Mitchell will secure the immediate return to work of the miners in the anthracite regions the president will at once appoint a commission to investigate thoroughly into all the matters at issue between the operators and the miners; to obtain a settlement of those questions in accordance with the report of the commission. "Mr. Mitchell has taken this matter under consideration, but the president may not yet be advised of any decision." EIGHT MEN PUT TO DEATH.

THEY ARE TO MAINTAIN ORDER The Governor States That a Reign of Terror Exists in Sections of the State—President Mitchell Says Troops Cannot Make Men Go to Work. Hartisburg, Pa., Oct. 7—Governor Stone last night ordered out the entire division of the national guard of Pennsylvania to duty in the anthracite coal regions.

Railroad tracks have been torn and the tracks torn up. The civil authorities are unable to maintain order and have called upon the governor and the commander-in-chief of the National Guard for troops. The situation grows more dire. The troops involved is so extensive that the troops now on duty are insufficient to prevent all disorder. "The presence of the entire divisions of the National Guard of Pennsylvania is notable and the troops to maintain the public peace. "The major general commanding will place the entire division on duty, distributing them in suca localities as will render them most effective for preserving the public peace, and disorder usually occur when men attempt to work in and about the coal mines he will see that all men who desire to work and their families have ample military protection.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 9—Unless President Mitchell's hurried visit to New York bears fruit, the end of the mine workers' strike seems a long way off and the prospect of sufficient coal being mined to satisfy the public demand is extremely poor. Every local union of the miners' organization throughout the hard coal belt held a special meeting yesterday, and resolved to remain on a strike until the mine owners grant them some concessions. And while the reports of these meetings came pouring into Wilkesbarre, the president of the United States in which he gave his answer to the proposition that the strikers return to work and trust to have their condition improved through an investigation completed, the president's chief is he refused to divulge. Mr. Mitchell sent his letter to Washington before he had heard from all the locals. Yesterday afternoon, accompanied by the soldier left for New York. His mission there is also a secret. As New York is the headquarters of the coal operators, a rumor immediately spread that a settlement was in prospect, but the soldiers were not sure whether they expected to meet. Nearly all the resolutions passed by the various miners' meetings contained a sentence to the effect that the men will remain out, though all the miners would be present here, until they are granted some concessions. Philadelphia, Pa. Oct. 9—The entire national guard of Pennsylvania is encamped at the base of the railroad station from the western part of the state having arrived late yesterday afternoon. Contracts in negotiations, the troops were well received and there was no reason to annoy the soldiers.

INSURANCE S VERY RISKY When Flaced With Companies Which Have Not Complied With the State Law—Ruling By Auditor Merliam Says They Have No Standing in Law. Des Molines, Oct. 7.—Auditor of State Merliam ruled yesterday that a person who accepts insurance from companies unauthorized to transact business in the state can have no responsibility in the courts of Iowa in case of loss. The ruling was given in the case of Hartman & Daniels of Clinton against the Northwestern Fire Insurance company and the Great Britain Fire Insurance corporation, limited. No. 159 La Salle, Chicago, Illinois, of the United States office of both companies. Hartman & Daniels of Clinton suffered a loss after taking policies with them and then sought to collect. The attorneys of the insured desired the auditor to accept service provided in section 1723 of the code. The auditor answered that neither insurance company had complied with the Iowa laws and neither was authorized to do so. There was no record either plaintiff or defendant had complied with section 1758 of the code, which provides that no insurance maintained in any form of the state tax contract of fire insurance issued by an unauthorized company unless it is shown that insurer or insured, in such case, has taken out, has paid to the treasury of the state $2\frac{1}{2} per cent of the gross premiums paid, or agreed to be paid, for such policy or contract of insurance. The attorneys for Hartman and Daniels, in asking the auditor to accept service of notices and forward them to the companies, cited the decision of the supreme court in the National Masoori incident association, as found in 100 lowa, page 458. It is there held that a company having transacted business in this state is estopped from denying the operation of its laws upon it and that service on the insurance company is not complied with the state laws. Mr. Merrlam took the ground this decision was not in point as it was rendered before section 1758 above mentioned was enacted. Finally, the attorneys for the Clinton firm offered to pay the tax due the state and on its payment the auditor has informed them he will accept small, but acceptable, taxes will accept, being $1. The disregard of the statute, not the amount at stake, prompted Auditor Merrlam to take the position he did. BOULER EXPLODES in CRESTON. Carried 100 Feet Through Business District.

Knox and five companions were arrested in connection with the attack on New Brunswick, Knox and his song of rowdies beat the minister and chased him about the streets of Rancho Cucamonga, where the street fight in which they were engaged. The affair has created a good sized sensation. "I asked the young woman in front of me to look at the scene," I could see the stage." "Did she do it?" "No, she said if she held the door, she could not see the attackers." MRS. GALLAUGHER IS ACQUITTEE Long Trial on Charge of Murdering Her Husband is Ended. Iowa City, Oct. 6.—Mrs. Eile Gala- laughter, charged jointly with Elia Holland, with her of her hus- band Jan. Eile Galaugher, was acquitted after a long trial. Mr. Holbert in his argument for the defense, talked for three solid hours. He stated that he asked no sympathy from the jury because the defendant was a woman and the effort Mrs. Gallaughter had made to uncover everything pertaining to the crime, and endowed to convince the jury that his client was a chaste and virtuous woman, who was endearing to prosecute his own wife who could sacrifice her to save himself. Holbert said in part: "I have never lost my faith in the innocence of my client. If her story is true, she is innocent. It is a case of Holada vs. Gallaugher instead of a case, a rule vs. Gallaugher. You wouldn't hang a yellow cur on the evidence given by Holada. Would you say it is proven beyond a doubt the woman is an adultress by Holada's statement? The time and place will come when I will answer to Holada's charge of a management case. I will answer this case. I now leave the fate of Ella Gallaugher in your hands, asking not for sympathy, but justice. I see two pictures your verdict may bring, one a broken, dejected woman, incarcerated forever in a prison, the other a family awaiting your verdict of the two sweetest words imaginable to her, "Not guilty." SELE DEFENSE FOR HUNTER. Claim Also Made That Sentence Was Too Heavy. Des Moines, Oct. 10.—The Matt Hunter case from Ringgold county was argued before the supreme court of Iowa yesterday, and attracted more attention among lawyers and others who were involved in the case by oral argument for some time. The appeal for a reversal and new trial was made by United States Attorney Miles. Hunter shot and killed Homer Holland in Mt. Ayr seven months ago, gambled on the outcome of a fracture. Miles contended with forces that it was a case of self-defense and that Hunter had been attacked by Holland, the latter rushing upon the defendant and making a move to draw a revolver at the same time and it was shot. He contended also that the instructions were erroneous in that they presumed the guilt of the defendant and failed to indicate the proper rule of self-defense. It was also contended that the sentence was unusually long. He contended in the second degree and was given a life sentence. He had failed to find another instance in the history of the state when the extreme penalty had been given for second degree murder. Attorney General Miles contended the verdict and sentence were just and were borne out by the record. STEWART SCORES AGAIN. Offer Made to Pay Debts of the Homes stead Company. Des Moines, Oct. 10—S. F. Stewart scored yesterday in the supreme court when that body ruled on the motion to direct J. M. Pierce, business management firm, to pay main debts. The court issued an order directing that Pierce should apply of the cash on hand a sufficient amount to pay off overdue and payable debts, reserving not to exceed $2,000 for immediate payment. The court also issued an order restraining Pierce from paying his own claim for back salary of $9,750, claimed as additional salary. The sale takes place one week from today and Stewart asked that the cash on hand be used to pay off all debts before the sale is completed. OFFICER WAS NOT JUSTIFIED.

PEOPLE SEEM INDIFFERENT Cuban Government Seems Inciled Not to Adhere to the Treaty Under the Flatt Amendment—Delay All on the Side of Cuba. Washington, Oct. 10.—The situation as to Cuba is such at present as to give officials here great concern. It is feared that Cuba is drifting away and evidence is multiplying day by day to mark the growth of a spirit of indifference toward the cultivation of friendly commercial relations with the United States that almost borders on homeland. The best efforts of the state department thus far have failed to secure the adhesion of the Cuban government to the treaty which, by the terms of the Platt amendment, must be entered into. This delay is all on one side, namely, at Havana, for Secretary Hay and the Cuban minister, Senor Quesada, have performed their part in drafting a treaty which is believed carries out the intent of congress. That treaty is now awaiting the approval of the Cuban government, which approval is withheld, not with the intention of implementing the convention, but through what is regarded here as the natural inertia of the Cubans in diplomatic matters. This treaty includes provisions for a dialogue between the United States and Cuba, and while it is true that the Cubans believe that the United States has been rather niggrily in the arrangements for the treaty, the sections are not regarded as sufficient to account for the great delay in concluding the treaty. However, there is no intention, it is said, to resort to any undue pressure on the Cubans, so that the United States will fight against the United States and in favor of another country. It is believed that as Cuba is the principal sufferer from the lack of treaty relations with the United States, internal pressure so will force action on the closing convention. CONSUL BRAGG TRANSFERRED. State Department Send Him to Hong Kong Because of Letter. Washington, Oct. 9, —Edward S. Bragg, consul general at Havana, has been transferred to the post of United States consul general at Hong Kong and transferred to the post of William A. Rublee, transferred to the consulate at Havana. The change in the Havana consulate general has been in contemplation for almost three months as necessary to make the change and the only question was where General Bragg could be placed without substantial loss to himself, for it is difficult to find in the consulate a position paying as well as his. The official salary of the place is $5,000 per annum, but there are fees attached much of which go to the consul general, which swell the total compensation to about $7,000 per year. The president of the United States Bragg has been guilty of a lack of judgment, at least in allowing to escape from him a rather contemptuous criticism of the Cuban people, but in view of the fact that he was not disqualified from office, the president decided to look leniently on his case. Early in July General Bragg wrote a letter to his wife at her home in this country, in which he used this language: "Uncle Sam might as well try to get out of a pig's tail as to try to make something out of the Latin race." The letter was published on July 14. By direction of the state department, Mr. Squiers called on General Bragg for an explanation. He at once admitted the accuracy of the quotation, but the letter was not read. He pleased in a purely personal letter to his own family. But, without discussing this question with the general, the state department decided that a change must be made, and set about to find another place for General Bragg. About two weeks later, the General Bragg of United States Consult General Wm. A. Rublee at Hong Kong, China, to exchange his post for that at Havana. Mr. Rublee's post at Hong Kong is salaried at $5,000 per annum, and has his notarial fees, to all of which he paid in the form of a 1047 General Bragg probably will not lose very much by the change. WOMAN LEADS BOXER FIGHT. Victoria, B. C., Oct. 7 - Advices have been received from China of the increase of Boxerism both in Sze-Chuen and Chi-Li. In Sze-Chuen, the Boxers, and Chi-Li, have provincial capital, and there were some sananguinary sights in the streets. The Boxers were held in check by the imperial forces, and a report being proclaimed that reinforcements were coming from Cheng-Tu and encamped at Shippantan, where earth works had been thrown up. The Boxers of Sze-Chuen are led by a woman, Limo Yin, who led the first three slaughters who were arrested at Tien Tsin during the rebellion of 1300, it being said that they were the "boxer Goddesses." Letter from Prince Tuan, Yung La, said that the three slaughters and in their possession. This woman, who is described as being handsome, had attracted 50,000 Boxers to her standard. The Chung Klang correspondent for the North China News says: "The Chung Klang powerful rebel chief in Sze-Chuen." It is estimated that 1,500 native Citizens live in Chi Lai province. In Chi Lai the Boxers are secretly drilling every morning: before daylight, even in the vicinity of TO BELIEVE COAL FAMINE New York, Oct. 6.—Chas.

Operators and Miners Remain Firm After New York Meeting. New York, Oct. 10.—Replete at its opening with promise of a solution of the long drawn out struggle between the United Mine Workers of America and the operators of the anthracite properties in Pennsylvania yankees closed by the United Mine Workers of America and the operators of the anthracite progress toward an agreement on the issue in controversy. The most noteworthy of the day's events was a conference at the office of Senator Thomas C. Platt, at which there were present, Pennsylvania, and the governor of New York and nearly all the heads of the big corporations controlling the anthracite fields. In all seeming, this conference has been a boon from it, and the operators departed declaring adherence to the policy they have followed from the first of resisting the demands of the governor. There were other conferences during the day in which President Mitchell and people of more or less consequence in the industrial world participated, but these, so far as information goes, were of result as the principal meeting. In brief, there had been no change so far as it might have been affected by gathering officers, leaders, mine operators and public men. Washington, Oct. 10.—The followin- in house yester-yester: "Office National President United Mine Workers of America, John Mitchell, National President, Second Vice President American Federation of Labor: "Hotel Kirk, Wilkenshare, Pa., Oct. 8, 1902. "Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, Washington, D.C.—Dear Sir: Hon. Carroll D. Wright has no doubt, reported to you, that we meet Monday and my statement to him that I should take your suggestion under advisement although I did not look upon it with favor. "Since that time I have consulted with the residents who concur fully in my views. "We desire to assure you again that we feel keenly the responsibility of our position and the gravity of the situation, and it would give us great pleasure to take any action which would in a manner that would safeguard the interests of our constituents. In proposing that there be an immediate resumption of coal mining upon the conditions we suggested in the conference at the white house we believed that we would have half way and had met, your wishes. "It is unnecessary in this letter to refer to the malicious assault upon us in the response of the coal operators. If we feel confident that you may have been timely informed of our proposition and the insincerity of those who maligned us. "Having in mind our experiences with the coal operators in the past, we have been confident of confidence in the future, and inasmuch as they have refused to accept the decision of a tribunal selected by you, and inasmuch as there is no doubt that you will force the findings of the commission you suggested we respectfully decline to advise our people to return to work simply upon the hope that the coal operators might be induced or forced to comply with our recommendations of your commission. "As stated above, we believe that we went more than half way in our proposal at Washington, and we do not believe that we should be asked to make further sacrifices." "We appreciate your solicitude for the people of our country who are now and will be subjected to no end of suffering, inconvenienced by a prosecution that is not felt that the onus of this terrible state of affairs should be placed upon the side which has refused to refer to fair and impartial investigation. Washington, Oct. 8.—The following statement was made public at the white house yesterday afternoon. "On Monday, October 6, Hon. Carroll D. Wabar, of New York,abor; went to Philadelphia and gave to Mr. John Mitchell the following from the president. If Mr. Mitchell will secure the importance to work of the miners in the anthracite regions the president will at once appoint a commission to investigate thoroughly into all the matters at issue between the operators and miners and will do at least one of the following questions in accordance with the report of the commission." "Mr. Mitchell has taken this matter under consideration, but the press has not been yet advised of any decision." EIGHT MEN PUT TO DEATH. The Penalty for Killing Missionaries in the Orient. Nyctoria, B. C., Oct. 10. — The steamer Maru is in port from Yokohama and the orient.

Both men are imprisoned at the Manaus prison for harsh treatment. He says that he went to recover a debt. Bible Reading Is Enjoined. Lincoln, Neb. Oct. 10—In an opinion handed down handedly the Nebraska supreme court declares the reading of the Bible, supplication to God, and the laws of the public schools of the state is prohibited by the constitution. The case is one on appeal from the district court of Gage county, and the decision is that the judges concur in the opinion, voicing, they say in their comment, not their individual wishes or opinions, but the plain law as it is written. The plow of effort will open up the furrow of success. ALL MILITIA IS ORDERED OUT Eighteen Thousand Soldiers Placed in Coal Field by Governor Stone. THEY ARE TO MAINTAIN ORDER The Governor States That a Reign of Terror Exists in Section of the State—President Mitchell Says Troops Cannot Make Men Go to Work. Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 7.—Governor Stone late last night ordered out the entire division of the national guard of Pennsylvania to duty in the autherect coal regions. The soldiers will be in the field today. The order calling out the guard is as follows: "Headquarters National Guard, Adjutant General's Office, Hauppsburg, Pa., October 6: In certain portions of the Army, the Army Corps of Cadet Carbon, Lackawanna, Susquehanna, Nortumberland and Columbia tumults and riots frequently occur and mob law reigns, men who desire to work in the Army have their families threatened. Railroad trains have been delayed, stoned and the tracks torn up. The civil authorities are unable to maintain order and the troops are unable to command-in-chief of the National Guard for troops. The situation grows more serious every day. The territory involved is so extensive that the troops are insufficient to prevent all disorder. "The presence of the entire divisions of the National Guard of Pennsylvania is necessary in these counties to maintain the public peace. The entire commanding will place the entire division on duty, distributing them in such localities as will render them most effective for preserving the public peace. "As tumults, mobs and disasters occur, the enemy attempts to work in and about the coal shales he will see that all men who desire to work and their families have ample military protection. He will protect all trains and other property from unlawful interference and will arrest perpetrators of intimidation and hold them under guard until their release will not endanger the public peace; will see that threats, intimidations, assaults and acts of violence cease at once. The enemy will preserve upon all occasions and throughout the several counties and not interference what ever will be permitted with officers and men in the discharge of their duties under this order. The dignity and authority of the commander will power to suppress all lawlessness within her borders be asserted. "By order of 'Governor and Commander-in-chief, Thomas J. Stewart, Joseph A. END A LONG WAYS OFF. Action of Miners Does Not Presage an Early Strike So Warns Early Strike Settlement. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 9—Unless President Mitchell's hurried visit to New York bears fruit, the end of the mine workers' strike seems long way over. The coal miner who could efficiently coal mined to satisfy the public demand is extremely poor. Every local union of the miners' organization throughout the hard coal belt held a special meeting yesterday, and resolved to remain on a strike until the mine owners grant them some concessions. And while the reports of these meetings came pouring into Wilkesbarre, the president of the United States in which he gave his answer to the proposition that the striker return to work and trust to have their condition improved through an investigation completed, the chief is he refused to divulge. Mr. Mitchell sent his letter to Washington before he had heard from all the locals. Yesterday afternoon, accompanied by the three wives of the president, Mr. Hill. His mission there is also a secret. As New York is the headquarters of the coal operators, a rumor immediately spread that a settlement was in prospect, but the president did not say whom they expected to meet. Nearly all the resolutions passed by the various miners' meetings contained a sentence to the effect that the men will remain out, though all the miners would be. States would see here, until they are granted some oncessions. Philadelphia, Pa. Oct. 9. The entire National guard of Pennsylvania is encamped in the amphitheatre on the western part of the state having arrived late yesterday afternoon. Contrary to expectations, the troops were well received and there was no problem. The soldiers were to annoy the soldiers. There was only one instance during the day of any show of feeling, and this was manifest at Bethelheim, when some boys stoned the second section of the train bearer at the First regiment from Philadelphia. Universal quiet reigns throughout the entire region. Brigadier General Schall, who arrived at Tamaqua this afternoon, telegraphed to Major General Miller that there was no disturbance of any kind in the district. Jessie Morrison Free. Leavenworth, Oct. 10—Jessie, Morson, the alleged slayer of Mrs. Olin Castle, left the Kansas penitentiary shortly before noon yesterday for her home in Eldorado, Kas.

Most of our readers know all about theaches and pains of a bad back, very many people are free from sick kidneys, and kidneys are the most overworked organs of the body and "go wrong" at time no matter how well the general health may. The trouble is so few understand the indications of kidney trouble. You are nervous, tired out and wary, have stitches, twinges and twitches of backache pains, but lay it to other causes; finally the runnyness and suffering attendant with urinary disorders, retention of the urine, too frequent motion makes you realize the seriousness, and any stages you should take a remedy, that will not only relieve but cure you.

Since I made a public statement of the need and recommended Donna's Kidney Pills to my friends and acquaintances, they roughly believing as I did both from observation and experience that they would do just as they were represented to do.

THE WITCH OF MONTE CARLO. A ROMANCE OF THE RIVIERA. BY ST. GEORGE RATHBORNE, author of "Muse Punishment, of New York;" "The Spider's Web," "Miss Caprice," etc., etc. Copyright, 1900. Street and Smith, New York. CHAPTER XV. By Wiro From Paris. "You are positive, princess?" he asked hoarsely. "There is no doubt, believe me." "This is as serious as it is mysterious." The man of Paris rarely come to Monte Carlo, save to make an important arrest. The man who had never quailed when facing the awful terrors of jungle and desert experienced a qualm of fear at thought of being convicted as a traitor to his country, for the fate of Dreyfus told how France would treat her sons who turned against her —there were other prisons as terrible as Bawl fail— "You fall to notice one important fact, monsieur," she said softly, yet eagerly. "Then tell me." "These four men moved like automatic figures, under the direction of one master mind." "He quick cry as he grasped what she meant." "Sacre! the American?" "Yes, Monsieur Jones." "He is not what he seems, merely a lucky traveler—I remember now, he speaks French fluently. A startling suspicion bursts upon me—yes, it must be true that he is leagged with the secret police of the government against us. Mon Dieu! It is a perilous moment." Count Leon never spoke truer words in all his life than when he doled out the task of unpardonable that the moment was fraught with great danger to himself and the royalist cause he represented. The shock was all the more severe because he had just been congratulating himself, as men will sometimes do in their egotism, over the kind fate that had given him the power over these tremendous issues. A dozen suspicions took shape in his mind on the spur of the moment. Jones assumed a malign form compartmentalizing himself, his most simple act appeared to take on a meaning that was both diabolical and crushing. It flashed athwart the mind of our African conqueror that this American must be his particular bête noir, a figure destined to drag him down from the proud heights to which he had ascended, and accomplish his utter ruin, so that, unable to longer show his face in France, he must perform return again to equatorial Africa and unite with hold Captains Voulet and Chanine in their designs of founding an empire there. When circumstances, aided and abetted by the sharp eyes of the adventures, had snatched the mask from Jones, the innocent Yankee of the Empire, a devotion in importance in the mind of this arch planner that no one else had ever filled. Perhaps the consciousness of gilt had much to do with it, for it oftimes makes cowards of the bravest. He unconsciously turned his head and looked first to the right and then to the left. There were many people passing hither and yon, for the crowd seemed loth to depart after the exciting epiode of the evening, so that his eyes glanced from figure to figure, as though searching for some dreaded personality. "Have they returned?" he asked. "They are all here in the gardens, I made sure of that before I addressed you. "And—that man!" "Oh, Moniusse Jones is frowning at us even now, as he frowns at any man with whom he sees me conversing." The count smiled grimly, being under the impression that perhaps for once the Olgavitch had overestimated the power of her charms and had deceived herself with reference to Jones. "Well, this means a different scene from what I expected. I had thought to carry out my plans without much difficulty, but I am compelled to bring all my force to bear upon the matter. Yes, blood may even wear and there beautiful gardens become a scene of battle." The prospect might not seem alluring to most men, but then Count Leon had become a hybrid as it were, partaking somewhat of the nature of the hyme to be met with in the deserts, easily aroused by the scent of blood; and at the more mention of war's horrors his nestrils dilated and his eyes glowed with the fire of slaughter. It had been some time, you see, since his last encounter with the black hosts, and perhaps his good right hand really litched to get to work again. No French explorer who same back from Africa was ever willing to remain quiescent at home. "But—there is something more, M. Le Count, something mysterious, something that may even stagger you in your plans," said the princess in her quiet yet convincing way, and her in a troubled manner and allowed his lips to form the words: "Le Dibble!" It fully expressed his state of mind, for he felt that with the passage of every second the game was slipping farther from his hands. "I am one who suspects, who never take" things for granted. To-day a letter came from a friend in Paris, a gentleman high in the councils of the government. One little item in it attracted my attention—it was that he had just been attending a state council at the home of the president, who was not well enough to drive out. I looked at the date—it was yesterday, Monsieur, I was surprised. Either my friend, the minister, had made a rift take or else we were blind, for at the hour he declared he talked with France's chief executive in his own Paris home, behold, you and I were watching the president here at Monte Carlo." The soldier staggered as though he had been actually struck—indeed, he received a blow that was of far greater moment than a physical one would have been, since (30 foundation of his day). He began to realize that perhaps the secret police were more capable of making discoveries than he had been willing to admit, and that the same style of tactics could not be employed against these shrewd adversaries that he had used so successfully when coping with swarms of ferocious blacks. One gleam of hope flickered still, and caused a slikely smile to flash over his dark face. "Perhaps—the minister was mistaken the day. He may have intended the day. Monday, when we know monsieur was still in Paris, Yes, that is the explanation of the problem." The enchantress smiled, and when he saw the expression of her face he knew she was about to knock away even this feeble prop which he had selized upon so eagerly as a means of keeping up hope. "I have just received a message." "From Paris?" "Yes." She placed a printed form in his eager hand and his hungry eyes perused its brief message with an agility that speedily put him in possession of the facts. The wording was very precise and to the point: "The president is in Paris to-day, Wednesday. I have just conversed with his excellency." No wonder, after reading this, that the count's hand dropped as though palied to his side—no wonder his amazed eyes turned on the quarter who played the role of president stood chatting and laughing with his ales—no wonder his breath came thick and fast from between his set teeth. For where victory had seemed ready to perch he now saw miserable defeat staring him in the face with all its terrible penalties attached. Dellah, now?" demanded the modern Dellah, exulting in the thought that it was her fnesse that had accomplished this thing, and not his proud master mind. "What else can I say? We have been deceived. All the while they, those wolves of Paris, knew what we intended doing. They have sent a dummy to represent the president traveling inocag. It is so very simple, so easy—why, sometimes men actually assist in defending themselves, poor tools." "Then the game is rung off, the curtain falls on a tableau with virtue triumphant and vice probably punished, as usual." Her scrier went home, for it caused him to glance once more toward the young couple, so absorbed in one another they had no thought, no care untouched to horizon of their happiness. This recalled him to the consciousness that there were other branches embraced in the longitude and latitude of the chart he had drawn for his guidance. If fame in a French empire were denied him, how about fortune and love. Half a loaf would be better than no bread. Besides, there was revenge—that word always has a sympathetic ring to the ear of a Frenchman. Jones he hated like mad—Jones was hand in glove with Merrick—ergo, if he could kidnap the latter and throw him into the hands of the savage Bedouin tribes he knew along the Barbary coast, and at the same time steal his sweetheart, would it not be a glorious retaliation upon Monsleur Jones for spelling the dream of an empire? Rallying from his dazed condition, he cheered himself with the thought that all was not lost while a chance for Little Miss Millions as a bride remained in his spur. Jones then played into the game. The count had a lieutenant who was capable of giving good advice in a matter of this sort. Of course, this was the blonde giant from the North, the Cassack who came from the Don. In a moment he had obeyed a signal and was at Villebois's side, eager to hear what was new, and ready to give his advice if sought. Strombolloff had this long time been an object slave of the fair enchantress, and fumed in secret when he was敢 adjusting the attention of other men—still, he endured this freezing weather, and they what poor fools would receive in due time, since she had always been heartless. Strangely enough he was even more bitterly set against Merrick an any of the others, for in his distorted vision it seemed a man vile sacrilege that a common man without any illustrious pedigree or vast fortune, upon whom the princess designed to smile, should her evident advances win contempt. Accordingly Strombolloff was decidedly anxious to have the original plan go through. He had a long head, this Russian, and declared it would be folly taking chances. The minister in Paris who was a slave to the siren's charms might be mistaken, or in the plot with their enemies, and, as all, this the woman whom they believed to be the president, might turn out to be no other. At any rate, it was their duty to carry out the original plan up to this point, although the invasion of France by the Duke of Orleans could not take place until it was positively proven that it was the genuine president who had been abducted. So the question was decided. Count Leon, having cast aside his doubts for the time being, became the energetic man of action. One last look he cast around. The act was that of a soldier who combined caution_with valor. The lovers still stood by the terrace wall, looking out over the starlit harbor, where steamed the many riding lights of the congregated yachts as anchor. They seemed oblivious of all around, wrapped up in the paradise that newly-fconfessed love opens to the human soul. From this scene the count turned, given conscious of his magician's power to change it all by the wave of his hand. Jones was next in his mind, for since the double nature of the man from over the sea had become apparent to the princess and himself the Yankee had grown to be a person of considerable importance, whose personality must be figured on, no matter how certain the game seemed to be. But Jones was not est. While the three conferees were debating as to the best course for them to pursue under the changed circumstances he had sauntered away. The count confessed to him that it would have pleased him better had Jones maintained his post; for when he had a desperate foeman to deal with the always oppressive policy of the great king to keep his eyes on him unceasingly until such time as he could cut him down. And somehow he was possessed with an idea that Jones had not moved away in an idle frame of mind, out with a motive back of his action. When he had seen that the president had not moved, but was still moving, Count Leon knew the chain was complete, and that there was really no need of this looking forward. Villebole drew out a small silver whistle and raised it to his lips. Strange that such an innocent sound should, as if by magic, transform a peaceful scene into one where violence ruled. It still continued under the dome and spires of the Casino, but mellowed by distance and obtruding walls, the sound but softly permeated the air of the garden. Count Leon blew three skull blasts. There was something so startling about them that unconsciously every one in the extensive gardens seemed to take it for granted they were intended to be a signal of some sort. Immediately a great commotion began. Men appeared from various points, all heading toward a central hub—men who moved with haste, and yet showing some signs of military instruction—men who were grimly it earnest, no matter what their mission. The princess had her eyes upon one man, and that was the lover of Con stance. (To be continued.) BOWLEGS ARE INCREASING. Observing Tailor Makes This Rather Mortifying Statement. "Bowlegs are certainly on the increase," said a well-known tailor, "and while it makes no particular difference in my line of business, we can certainly learn that the critical reason is to be assigned for the increase in bowlegs is a question I am not prepared to answer. But really it does not require the experience of a tailor to establish the fact that bowlegs are more common now than ever before. Of course, the tailor, because of the measurements he is required to wear, knows that bowlegs are more readily than the men who are engaged in other walks of life. "We have cause to measure a man's legs when an order for a suit of clothes is left, and we naturally notice the size and shape of the legs. Some time ago my attention was directed to the matter by a man whose age when it comes to crookness of this kind. I made up my mind that I would conduct a little study along this line. The results have surprised me. I have found that but very few men have straight legs—that is, legs that are normally straight. The surprising fact about the matter is that in a man of any instances calves may be dropped between the calves of the legs. "No doubt the habit of pushing boys of tender years out into the industrial field has much to do with it. Boys are forced out now before the joints of the limbs are hardened, and they are required to carry heavy loads and do other things which are calculated to produce the result I have been discussing. But this practice being an important factor in the development of bowlegs. Of course, there may be other reasons for the conditions I have noticed. At any rate, there are more bowlegs now than ever before." BRONCHO WAS A MAN-KILLER. How a Vicious Animal Ended Life of a Mexican. It was Fourth of July in the small town of Los Plagos and a cow-puncher in the crowd bet he had a pony that would shake the teeth out of a prairie hen. "Run him out!" yelled a chorus, and soon a broad-breasted, well-set mouse-colored pony, with the docile eye of a dog stood before us. The rime me dig out hide." It was a Mexican who spoke. The bargain was quickly clinched, as money in a cattle town runs free than water, by the casing of twenty five shining silver dollars in the hand of a stakeholder. The Mexican secured his saddle and drew the clinch up without the sligb est trouble. His foot touched the stirrup. Then, with the quickness of a cat, that pony peeled back at the Mexican. One foot caught him a sickening blow full in the face. Down he went like a sack of meal, clutching and convul sively working his fingers in the dust He was in the act of repeating his deadly work when a shot rang out and the infurited beast dropped like a trap, full on the prostrate body of the Mexican. He was rolled off, says a writ or in Leslie's Monthly, and rough though gentle hands carried the Mexican into the Red Raven. The blow had completely crushed his face and he had passed over the long trail. PE-RU-NA NECESSARY TO THE HOME. No Family Should Be Without It. P DRUNA is a great family medicine.

Life in the Northwest If you have any idea of changing your location—GO INTO THE NORTH-WEST—where life is worth living. It is the coming empire of this country. Climate and elevation are found in great variety and land will never be as low priced again as it is now. For farming, fruit raising and grazing no portion of our country equals it. Irrigation makes the farmer independent where irrigation is practiced and the finest irrigable part of our country are in Montana and Washington. The towns and cities are all growing rapidly in the northwest. Let me know what you want and we will try and help you. There are all sorts of places and kinds of land in the Northwestern states through which the NORTHERN PACIFIC runs. Don't wait until is too late to go. Low settlers' rates are in effect during Sept. and Oct. Write to me where you want to go and I will tell you what it will cost. CHAS. S. FEE, Gen'l Pass. Agent, N. P. Ry..

FORT MADISON NOTES. Hello! Do you know who is the correspondent to the Iowa State Bystander. Mrs. Lizzie Holmes has returned home after a pleasant visit among relatives in M. Pleasant. Mrs. Anderson and family left Wednesdays day for Gallant and from there they go to Keokuk to attend the street fair. It is hard to tell which of the rivers is the larger, the Des Moines or the Mississippi, because both are rising rapidly. With one more foot rise and Ottumwa will cause its sufficient supply without the Water Co. Say have you seen cupid lately? It is confused because the will begin to ring soon on Third street, if so we would like to catch the strains of that well known wedding march. Who? Nearly all of Ft. Madison's colored population, who attended the Keokuk Street Fair, have managed to find their way back home again. Don't get old, for there is always two ends to a string. This is the twentieth century and all the Ft. Madison old widows and maids are passing for sweet sixteens. And about the old widowers and bachelors, we have only this much to say, they have all lost their beard, hair dyed, pictures taken, and well, the other half remains untold. Mr. Omp Weaver, a thrifty colored farmer of Denm rk, is, was in town Monday with a wagon load of irish potatoes for sale. Ah; did you say it was getting cold? Yes, why? We again see that Mr. Geo. Douglas has at last made his foot prints back here to porter Ft. Madison Metropolitan Hotel. Mr. Tom Mills of Keokuk was a visitor of Ft Madison Sunday night. ```markdown ``` TEST OF TIME THE ADVANTAGE OF PERMANENTY. Statistics show that less than Five merchandise dealers in each One Hundred are successful. They come and go and are forgotten. Singer machines are sold only by THE SINGER MANUFACTURING CO., dealing directly from maker to user. THE SINGER COMPANY IS PERMANENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES ARE ALWAYS AT HAND TO CARE FOR SINGER MACHINES. This is an important consideration to the purchaser of a sewing-machine.
