In and out of season. Mr. Currier has always been on hand he has been chairman and secretary of the city central committee more times than any other republican and a vote for him means the right thing. Hon, A. J.

Mr. Howard has to our personal knowledge been a resident of this ward for the last fifteen years and has been actively engaged in business during that time, in the course of which he has made a host of friends. His residence at 1100 Clayr street, is one of the most elegant in that section of the city and the success he has made in private business is the best guarantee that the will serve the public faithfully. 8. A SWENDSON S. A Swendson councilman from the 6th ward, and a candidate for re-election, need go no further than his record during the five years that he has served the city for an endorsement for another term. Mr. Swendson has seen of the most efficient and faithful of our councilmen and his voice has all ways been heard in favor of all that would appertain to the city's best interest. He has been bold and fearless and we believe the he people have appreciated this and need no farther invitation to support a man who has done such spien did work for economy and for the improvement of the city that is making it a model for the west.

The ladies can vote for him as well especially for an honest dispenser of justice Hon. W, H. Davs, who wants to be Mayor of Topeka, is one of Topeka's most staunch business men. He is chieftan of the firm of Parkhurst & Davis, having suffered terrible loss not long ago by fire. Mr Davis seems to be fully equipped with all the necessary requirements, and the general trend of sentiment is for him. He does not go into this fight as any special issue candidate, his platform the reduction of taxes which is very important to the taxpayer at this time. His opponent is Bergundthal he present Mayor and a lively race is expected between the two contestants. Mr. Dick Wilson who is a candidate for councilman from the second ward, is an old "railroader." He her been in the service of the Santate for a number of years is conductor and has done his duty. Mr. Wilson is a man of strong convictions and it nominated and elected he will serve the public faithfully. He also has a son who is assistant cashier in the freight department of said company, and with him three more sons join their home to make duties pleasant for their estimable tather and mother. Mr. Wilson is of the Roosevelt type and the Ledger predicts for him success all along the line. Frank E. Nipps who is a candidate for councilman in the third ward, is one of the most prominent citizens of that ward. He has been urged to accept the place by a large number of influential business men of his ward, such a number almost certain guarantees his nomination. Mr. Nipps is City Ticket agent for the Missouri Pacific Railway in this city and has been for many years, Capt. Wintrode says he will run again for the office of court marsh 11 Capt. will make his next two years as good as the two just closed it reelected. He has an excellent deputy of the race who gives imminent satisfaction and on that account has caused the people to speak very kind of him and his chief. Lester Davis son of Hen W H Davis who is a candidate for Mayor is a young man of high character and is working hard for the election of his father doing good work.

Miss Daisy Letter's titled husband may be a joy forever, but he doesn't look it. An Ohio man burned $10 bills for a pastime. Naturally he now sojourns in an asylum. When the devil can't find any other way to make trouble he has a girl marry a man to reform him. King Peter of Servia is talking about abdicating. He has had the honor. Now he wants to live. The young man who ran away with his mother-in-law, twice his age, must have made a mistake in the dark. A gentleman whose wife hit him and gave him appendicitis is trying to get a divorce. He ought to get a doctor. A Boston woman wants a divorce because her husband forced her to live in Philadelphia. Cruelty is proved. Col. Watterson writes that Paris is not as frisky as it used to be. The colonel is sixty-five years old.—Washington Post. That Berlin magistrate who decided that poker is not a game of chance probably had the experience of all poor players. The price of whisky has been reduced, owing to an oversupply. Some of the people who swore off must be sticking to it. The California prune crop this year is 150,000 pounds, but if you are tired of the boarding-house, why don't you get married? The Chicago woman who has made a record of fifteen children in twelve years ought to have a gold medal or a government pension. A Frenchman who had fought seventy duels died the other day from natural causes. Is it necessary to add that they were French duels? Stoessel is meeting the usual fate of the hero. A lot of generals who did not have a chance to try feel that they could have held the fortress indefinitely. Harry Lehr has announced that he is going to retire from society. This could have been arranged years ago without checking up the great throng in the least. A New York man has paid $20,000 for a variegated carnation. He should be careful. The relatives of rich men who do queer things are having them shut up in sanitariums. Many of the men who have resolved not to waste any money this year started out by buying the most expensive ledgers on the market to keep their personal accounts in. A new and excellent use has been found for silver dollars. When shove- ed out in large quantities it has been discovered that they act instant ly in stopping a run on a bank. Friends of Cornelius Vanderbilt are congratulating him on winning $1,750, 000 in Wall street; but if he has won, somebody must have lost. "Don't cheer, boys, those poor fellows are dying!" A Portuguese scientist has produced a great sun furnace in which the concentrated rays of the sun prove able to melt every known substance. From all accounts, he should try it on the Boston girl. Now that some Pittsburg men have offered a prize of $1,000 for the best peace novel, a good many people are wondering just what the book will be. Of course it isn't likely to be a story of married life. A dyspeptic bachelor complains: "I have never yet seen the woman who can be made to realize the importance of hurrying." Did he never observe the results of an announcement of a tempting bargain sale? A French scientist announces that no woman who gossips can hope to live to a great age. He's mistaken. If he had ever experienced any of the pleasures of village life he would know that gossips never die. A girl complained to the police because a man remarked as she was passing by: "Where are you going, my pretty maid?" and yet the young man says he was only refreshing his mind with a daily bit of poetry. Gov. Pennypacker approvingly quotes the history of an editor being shot by a politician. If any politician in Pennsylvania wants to shoot an editor he can get a pardon in advance from the governor of the parrot-like name. Humanity should show its gratitude to those who have conferred great benefits upon it. The earth is studded with monuments to selfish and ambitious potentates. Let us have more to those who have lessened suffering, not increased it: That suit of electric clothing invented by a Francaneman, where fine wires run through the cloth connected with a little battery carried in the pocket, may be self-heating, but suppose the current, by some accident, were "short-circuited?" The wearer couldn't get out of his clothes quick enough. The Boston Herald says Dr. Chadwick appears to have come home to put in the plea of Old Adam. But his Eve seems to agree with him and both deny that the apple in this particular case. A misfit simila --- Result of Boycott. No One Fond of Work. Say: a Georgia philosopher: "It's a pity we are successful at digging bait than we are catching fish."-Atlanta Constitution. Edible Menu Cards The latest thing in hotel bills of fare is stated to be an edible menu card. It is generally made of biscuit which the guest eats with his cheese. --- Shoreditch, London, is proud of a goose that drinks stout and dances in elogs. False teeth an Old Invention. False teeth of ivory, on plates of the same material, and held in place by gold wires, were in use 1,000 years before the time of Christ. Delviolet Russian Empire In Polynesia The immense empire governed by the Czar of Russia sixty languages are spoken. Russia's Export of Grain. More than half of Russia's profits from exports come from the sale of grain. The only place in the United States that guarantees freedom from strikes, lockouts and labor warfare is Battle Creek, Mich. The story? The work people, merchants, lawyers, doctors and other citizens became aroused and indignant at the efforts of the labor unions throughout the country to destroy the business of one of our largest industries—the Postum Cereal Co. Ltd., and at the open threats in the official union papers that the entire power of the National and State Federations of Labor was being brought to bear to "punish" the industries of Battle Creek, and particularly the Postum Co. This sprung from the refusal of C. W. Post to obey the "orders" of the unions to take the Postum advertising away from various papers that refused to purchase labor of the labor trust—the unions. Mr. Post was ordered to join the unions in their conspiracy to "ruin" and "put out of business" these publishers who had worked faithfully for him for years and helped build up his business. They had done no wrong, but had found it inconvenient and against their best judgment to buy labor of the labor trust. It seems a rule of the unions to conspire to ruin anyone who does not purchase from them upon their own terms. An inkmaker or papermaker who failed to sell ink or paper would have the same reason to order Post to help ruin these publishers. So the peddler in the street might stone you if you refused to buy his apples; the cabman to run over you if you refused to ride with him; the grocer order the manufacturer to discharge certain people because they did not patronize him, and so on to the ridiculous and villainous limit of all this boycott nonsense, in trying to force people to buy what they do not want. If a man has labor to sell let him sell it at the best price he can get just as he would sell wheat, but he has no right to even intimate that he will obstruct the business, or attempt its ruin because the owner will not purchase of him. The unions have become so tyrannous and arrogant with their despotism that a common citizen who has some time to spare and innocently thinks he has a right to put a little paint on his own house finds he must have that paint taken off and put on again by "the union" or all sorts of dire things happen to him, his employer is ordered to discharge him, his grocer is boycotted if he furnishes him supplies, his family followed and insulted and his life made more miserable than that of a black slave before the war. If he drives a nail to repair the house or barn the carpenters' "union" hounds him. He takes a pipe wrench to stop a leaking pipe and prevent damage to his property and the plumbers' "union" does things to him. He cannot put a little mortar to a loose brick on his chimney or the bricklayers', plasterers' or hod carriers' "union" is up in arms, and if he carelessly eats a肥 of bread that has no "union" label on it the bakers' "union" proceeds to make life miserable for him. So the white slave is tied hand and foot, unable to lift a hand to better himself or do the needful things, without first obtaining permission from some haughty, ignorant and abusive tyrann of some labor union. It would all seem rather like a comic opera if it did not rob people of their freedom; that kind of work will not be permitted long in America. Some smooth managers have built up the labor trust in the last few years, to bring themselves money and power and by managing workmen, have succeeded in making it possible for them to lay down the law in some cities and force workmen and citizens to "obey" implicitly, stripping them right and left of their liberties. They have used boycotting, picketing, assaults, dynamiting of property and murder to enforce their orders and rule the people. They have gone far enough to order the President to remove certain citizens from office because the "unions" weren't pleased. That 'means they propose to make the law of the unions replace the law of this government and the union leaders dominate even the chief Executive. This is a government of and for the people and no organization or trust shall displace it. But the unions try it every now and then, led by desperate men as shown in their defiance of law and support of lawbreakers. The "union" record of assaults, crippling of men and even women and children, destruction of property and murder of American citizens during the past two years is perhaps ten times the volume of crime and abuse perpetrated by slave owners during any two years previous to the civil war. We are in a horrible period of lethargy, which permits us to stand idly by while our American citizens are abused, crippled and murdered in dozens and hundreds by an organization or trust, having for its purpose, Some People. Some people seem to think it would be a good thing if arrangements could be made whereby they might press a button and thus let it be known in heaven as well as all over the earth whenever they have done their duty. Must Be Seeking Record A San Francisco woman has applied for her fifth divorce, and it is said will, as soon as she is free, remarry the first husband, from whom she has already been thrice divorced. The Face of a Friend. The lightsome countenance of a friend giveth such an inward decking to the house where it lodgeth, as proudest palaces have cause to envy the gilding.-Sir P. Sydney. Diameter of the Earth The diameter of the earth has been accurately ascertained, after thirty years' labor, at a cost of $500,000. It is 7.926 miles at the Equator, and 7.899 from Pole to Pole. thrusting what it has to sell (labor) upon us whether or no. Suppose an American in a foreign city should be chased by a mob, caught and beaten unconscious, then his mouth pried open and carbolic acid poured down his throat, then his ribs kicked in and his face well stamped with iron nailed shoes, murdered because he tried to earn bread for his children. By the Eternal, sir, a fleet of American men of war would assemble there, clear for action and blow something off the face of the earth, if separation were not made for the blood of one of our citizens. And what answer do we make to the appeals of the hundreds of widows and orphans of those Americans murdered by labor unions? How do we try to protect the thousands of intelligent citizens who, with reason, prefer not to join any labor union and be subject to the tyranny of the heavily paid rulers of the labor trusts? Upon a firm refusal by Mr. Post to join this criminal conspiracy a general boycott was ordered on GrapeNuts and Postum all over the country, which set the good red blood of our ancestors in motion, bringing forth the reply that has now passed into history: "We refuse to join any conspiracy of organized labor to ruin publishers, nor will we discharge any of our trusted employees upon the orders of any labor union. If they can make their boycott effective and sink our ship, we will go down with the captain on the bridge and in command." This set the writers in labor papers crazy and they redoubled their abuse. Finally one of their official organs came out with a large double column in denunciation of Battle Creek, calling it "a running sore on the face of Michigan," because it would not become "organized" and pay in dues to their labor leaders. The usual coarse, villainous epithets common to labor union writers were indulged in. The result was to weld public sentiment in Battle Creek for protection. A citizens' association was started, and mass meetings held. Good citizens who happened to be members of local unions, in some cases quit the unions entirely for there is small need of them there. The working people of Battle Creek are of the highest order of American mechanics. The majority are not union members, for practically all of the manufacturers have for years declined to employ union men because of disturbances about eleven years ago, and the union men now in the city are among the best citizens. No city in the state of Michigan pays as high average wages as Battle Creek, no city of its size is as prosperous, and no city has so large a proportion of the best grade of mechanics who own their own homes. So the work people massed together with the other citizens of the organization of the Citizens' Ass'n with the following preamble and constitution: Whereas, From 1891 to 1894 the strikes instigated by labor unions in Battle Creek resulted in the destruction of property and loss of large sums of money in wages that would have been expended here; and, Whereas, These acts caused serious damage to the city and in a market way delayed its progress at that time; and, Whereas, Since the year 1894 the citizens have been enabled, by public sentiment, to prevent the recurrence of strikes and labor union disturbances which have been prevalent elsewhere; and, Whereas, The employers of this city have steadfastly refused to place the management of their business under the control of labor unions, but have maintained the highest standard of wages paid under like conditions anywhere in the United States, and hereby unanimously declared their intent to continue such policy; and the employees of this city, a large percentage of whom own homes and have families reared and educated under conditions of peace and the well-earned prosperity of steady employment, have steadfastly maintained their right as free American citizens to work without the dictation and tyranny of labor union leaders, the bitter experience of the past offering sufficient reason for a determined stand for freedom; and, Whereas. The attitude of the citizens on this subject has been the means of preserving peaceful conditions and continuous prosperity, in marked contrast to the conditions existing in other cities suffering from the dictation of trades unionism; it is therefore Resolved. That the continuance of peace and prosperity in Battle Creek can be maintained, and the destructive work of outside interference avoided under the combined effort and action of all our people, by the formation of a Citizens' Association. CONSTITUTION. Article 1.—Name. Article 2.—Objects. First—To insure, so far as possible, Sticking to the Old Plan.

Sour Milk Beneficial A Bulgarian physician says that the putrefactive organisms in sour milk are not only not harmful, but a "very great benefit to health." a permanent condition of peace, prosperity and steady employment to the people of Battle Creek. Second—To energetically assist in maintaining law and order at all times and under all conditions. Third—To protect its members in their rights to manage their property and to dispose of their labor in a legal, lawful manner without restraint or interference. Fourth—To insure and permanently maintain fair, just treatment, one with another, in all the relations of life. Fifth—To preserve the existing right of any capable person to obtain employment and sell his labor, without being obliged to join any particular church, secret society, labor union or any other organization, and to support all such persons in their efforts to resist compulsory methods on the part of any organized body whatsoever. Sixth—To promote among employers a spirit of fairness, friendship and desire for the best interests of their employees, and to promote among workmen the spirit of industry, thrift, faithfulness to their employers and good citizenship. Seventh—To so amalgamate the public sentiment of all of the best citizens of Battle Creek, that a guarantee can be given to the world of a continuance of peaceful conditions, and that under such guarantee and protection manufacturers and capitalists can be induced to locate their business enterprises in Battle Creek. Then follows articles relating to membership, officers, duties, etc., etc., etc. This constitution has been signed by the great majority of representative citizens, including our workpeople. A number of manufacturers from other cities, where they have been suffering all sorts of indignities, inconvenience and losses from the general hell of labor union strikes, picketing, assaults and other interference, proposed to move, providing they could be guaranteed protection. The subject grew in importance until it has reached a place where absolute protection can be guaranteed by the citizens of Battle Creek on the following broad and evenly balanced terms which guarantees to the workman and to the manufacturer fairness, justice, steady work and regularity of output. The newcoming manufacturer agrees to maintain the standard rate of wage paid elsewhere for like service, under similar conditions, the rate to be determined from time to time from well authenticated reports from competing cities. The tabulated wage reports issued by the Government Department of Commerce and Labor can also be used to show the standard rate, and it is expected later on that this government bureau will furnish weekly reports of the labor market from different centers, so that the workman when he is ready to sell his labor and the employer when he is ready to buy, may each have reliable information as to the market or ruling price. The newcoming manufacturer also agrees to maintain the sanitary and hygienic conditions provided for by the state laws and to refrain from any lockouts to reduce wages below the standard, reserving to himself the right to discharge any employee for cause. The Citizens' Association on its part agrees to furnish, in such numbers as it is possible to obtain, first-class workmen who will contract to sell their labor at the standard price for such period as may be fixed upon, agreeing not to strike, picket, assault other workmen, destroy property, or do any of the criminal acts common to labor unionism. Each workman reserving to himself the right to quit work for cause, and the Citizens' Association further pledges its members to use its associated power to enforce the contracts between employer and employee, and to act en masse to uphold the law at all times. The new industries locating in Battle Creek will not start under any sort of labor union domination whatsoever, but will make individual contracts with each employee, those contracts being fair and equitable and guaranteed on both sides. Thus from the abuses of labor unions and their insane efforts to ruin everyone who does not "obey" has evolved this plan which replaces the old conditions of injustice, lockouts, strikes, violence, loss of money and property, and general industrial warfare, and inaugurates an era of perfect balance and fairness between employer and employ, a steady continuance of industry and consequent prosperity. The entire community pledged by public sentiment and private act to restore to each man his ancient right to "peace, freedom and the pursuit of happiness." Other cities will be driven to protect their workpeople, merchants and citizens as well as their industries from the blight of strikes, violence and the losses brought on by labor unionism Successful Blind Shoemaker.

Details given upon inquiry of the "Secy. of the Citizens' Ass.n." Identification The public should remember that there are a few labor unions conducted on peaceful lines and in proportion as they are worthy, they have won esteem, for we, as a people, are strongly in sympathy with any right act that has for its purpose better conditions for wage workers. But we do not forget that we seek the good of all and not those alone who belong to some organization, whereas even the law-abiding unions show undeniable evidences of tyranny and oppression when they are strong enough, while many of the unions harbor and encourage criminals in their efforts to force a yoke of slavery upon the American people. As a public speaker lately said: "The arrogance of the English King that roused the fiery eloquence of Otis, that inspired the immortal declaration of Jefferson, that left Warren dying on the slopes of Bunker Hill, was not more outrageous than the conditions that a closed shop would force upon the community. These men burst into rebellion 'when the king did but touch their pockets.' Imagine if you can their indignant protest had he sought to prohibit or restrict their occupation or determine the conditions under which they should earn their livelihood," and to assault, beat and murder them, blow up their houses and poison their food if they did not submit. The public should also remember that good, true American citizens can be found in the unions and that they deprecate the criminal acts of their fellow members, but they are often in bad company. Salt only hurts sore spots. So, the honest, law-abiding union man is not hurt when the criminals are denounced, but when you hear a union man "holler" because the facts are made public, he has branded himself as either one of the lawbreakers or a sympathizer, and therefore with the mind of the lawbreaker, and likely to become one when opportunity offers. That is one reason employers decline to hire such men. --- A short time ago inquiry came from the union forces to know if Mr. Post would "keep still" if they would call off the boycott on Postum and Grape-Nuts. This is the reply: "The labor trust has seen fit to try to ruin our business because we would not join its criminal conspiracy. We are plain American citizens and differ from the labor union plan in that we do not force people to strike, picket, boycott, assault, blow up property or commit murder. We do not pay thugs $20 to break in the ribs of any man who tries to support his family nor $30 for an eye knocked out. We try to show our plain, honest regard for sturdy and independent workmen by paying the highest wages in the state. We have a steady, unvarying respect for the law-abiding, peaceable union man and a most earnest desire to see him gain power enough to purge the unions of their criminal practices, that have brought down upon them the righteous denunciation of a long-suffering and outraged public, but we will not fawn, truckle, bend the knee, wear the hated collar of white slavery, the union label, nor prostitute our American citizenship under "orders" of any labor trust. You offer to remove the restriction on our business and with "union" gold choke the throat and still the voice raised in stern denunciation of the despotism which tramples beneath an iron-shot heel the freedom of our brothers. You would gag us with a silver bar and muffle the appeal to the American people to harken to the cries for bread of the little children whose faithful fathers were beaten to death while striving to earn food for them. Your boycott may perhaps succeed in throwing our people out of work and driving us from business, but you cannot wrench from us that priceless jewel our fathers fought for and which every true son guards with his life. Therefore, speaking for our workpeople and ourselves, the infamous offer is declined." POSTUM CEREAL CO., LTD. Note by Publisher.

SHORT LULL IN THE FIGHTING Shakhe River Battle May Soon Be Resumed, However—Many Dead Still Lie Where They Fell — A General Shot. LONDON.—A correspondent of the London Dally Telegraph in Tokyo says that the Russians lost at least 36,000 and pobably 42,000 in the fighting at Shakhe river from January 21 to January 29. The Japanese loss, the correspondent says, was 7,000. The fighting for several days is said to have been fierce. MUKDEN.—There is another lull in the fighting, but it is impossible to tell how long it will last. The Russian losses the last few days were about 10,000. Many of the bodies of the killed have not yet been gathered. Lieutenant General Stakelber's corps was the heaviest loser. The Japanese losses, according to Chinese reports, were also heavy. The Russiang took about 500 prisoners. PEACE RUMORS ARE HEARD. Japanese Bonds Advance With News —Kuropatkin Had Narrow Escape.

Dr. Williams' Flink Filia Restored the Use of His Limbs When All Other Remedies Failed. The premonitory symptoms of paralysis are: trembling of the hands; sudden loss of power in arms or logs, frequently affecting one whole side of the body; staggering; partial or entire inability to use the fingers; distortion of the features, sometimes an uncontrollable quivering of the chin; severe pains; difficulty in speech. Frequently the first warning is a vague feeling of headache, vertigo and muscular weakness. In a recent interview Mr. W. J. L. Hayden said: "I truly think that Dr Williams' Pink Pills are a great medicine for they cured me when physicians and other remedies had failed to give me the slightest relief. Too close attention to business brought on an attack of nervousness which finally developed into paralysis. There were times when it was impossible for me to move my hands or to get up from a chair. At other times I had partial control of my limbs, but I was afraid to go far from the house for fear I might suddenly become helpless and have to be carried home. "While I was in this miserable condition, I was stricken with malarial fever and confined to bed for four months. I had the best physicians, but while they relieved my fever, their treatment did not entirely drive the malaria from my system, and they did not help my paralysis in the least. "I was well nigh despairing when a friend persuaded me to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills. When I had finished one box I could see results that encouraged me. My condition kept steadily improving and when I had taken seven boxes I was cured of paralysis and the malaria was completely driven out of my system. For two years now I have enjoyed the best of health and have attended to business without any interruption." Mr. Hayden's home is at No. 232 West 39th street, New York. Dr. Williams Pink Pills have cured many similar cases of paralysis, also locomotor ataxia. They are sold by all druggists. A treatment so simple, inexpensive and successful should be tried by every sufferer from partial paralysis in any of its stages. Where Wealth Is Despised. Where Wealth is Despised.

CZAR CONSENTS DANGER OF A REVOLUTION STIRS THE AUTOCRACY. Strikers Meeting Raided and a Girl Killed—Student Held for Attempt Upon Czar—The Strike Still Grows. ST. PETERSBURG.—The czar received a deputation of workmen at Tsarskoe-Solo and listened to their complaints and demands, promising a full investigation. He told the workmen he had been misinformed and promised them a betterment of conditions. Governor Trepoff is conferring with the workmen of all the big factories. Next Monday is set as a date for the government to meet the masters and representatives of the workmen. Conciliatory measures are to be taken by Trepoff in the hope of leading the men from their political aspirations. A meeting of the strikers was surprised Thursday night by the police, who fired and killed a girl and wounded four other persons. Bogdanoff, a former student and a member of the revolutionary association, is held responsible for the insertion of grape in front of the saluting charge fired January 19, which all but caused the death of the imperial family. Strike Still Grows. WARSAW.—The strike continues to spread and practically all of the employees in the manufacturing districts are out. DRASTIC LAW RECOMMENDED.

SAILS "THE ARROW" AT WILL A Successful Flight of Baldwin's Airship in California. LOS ANGELES, CAL.—Roy Knabenshue, the aeronaut, made a successful flight in Captain Baldwin's airship, "The California Arrow," Sunday at Chutes park. Knabenshue was in flight about forty-five minutes, during which time he circled within a radius of about a mile of the park, executing all sorts of maneuvers with the big aerial craft, and landing finally within the enclosure of the baseball grounds, from which he had started. The weather was perfect for the experiment, with just the faintest suspicion of a southwest breeze blowing. Immense throngs gathered at the ball park, the chutes and the streets for blocks distant to watch the flight. Found a Prehistoric Cave. RENO NEV—William Andres and William Jones, prospectors, report the discovery of another strange cave in the southwestern portion of Nevada.

The mayor attempted to eject Marks from the hall and the latter stabbed him. CHICAGO—Following the decision of the United States supreme court on the "Beef trust" case, it develops that the United States District Attorney is ready to proceed against the packers the moment there is satisfactory evidence that the packers are disregarding Judge Grosseup's injunction against fixing prices. This injunction was the legal point that sent the case to the higher court. There are two ways in which the government can act. The defendants may be cited to appear in Judge Grosseup's court and show cause why they are not in contempt of court for operating their combine in defiance of the injunction; the charges may be presented to the federal grand jury, and the individual members of the combine indicted under the criminal section of the Sherman anti-trust act. Commissioner Garfield of the bureau of corporations, is believed to have in his possession in Washington conclusive evidence that the packers have continued to fix prices and restrain competition in spite of the injunction. The commissioner's agents have been working secretly in Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha and other cities for more than a year and a few weeks ago they turned in their reports. STRIKERS USING DYNAMITE.
