Washington special: The second en-
gagement of the lard war took place at
the department of agriculture Satur-
day afternoon. The first engagement
took place in the room Of the senate
committee on agriculture ten days ago,
when the lard manufacturers of the
country were given hearing upon the
bill which was introduced by Senator
Dawes and which proposed to place it
on the same footing as the manufacture
of oleomargarine. At that hearing q
man by the name OF Kimball, represent
ing Boston establishment which pre-
tends to furnish the only pure lard man
ufactured in this country, astounded
the committee by making that claim
Senator Plumb asked him if he could
substantiate that statement. The man
said he could.
'Can you name twenty respectable
manufacturers who adulteratc their
lard?" asked Senator Plumb.
81 can, said the man.
'Can you name 1902"
81 can, said Kimball.
"Well," replied Senator Plumb,
twenty will be sufficient; give us the
list"
Mr.. KimbalI was not prepared to give
the list Just then and wanted time. He
was given two weeks to name twenty
manufacturers of impure lard, and a cir
Gus is expected whenever he announces
the names.
Mr.. Duane r. Fox, of Washington,
who is looking after the interests OF N.
K. Fairbank (; Co., of Chicago, has
been paying some attention to Mr..
Kimball since he made that assertion,
and discovered yesterday that he had
been to the agricultural department
with twenty samples of lard which he
wanted to have Analysed at the expense
Of the government by Wednesday next,
the day on which the agricultural COM
mittee meets. Mr.. Wiley, the chemist
of the department, said lie could not
have the work done in that time, and
would not be able to furnish an analysis
of the specimens until the last of the
month. Mr.. Fox then stepped upon
the scene in the company of Represent.
alive Phelan, of Memphis, and asked
the commissioner Of agriculture to re-
HllEe IlE. hlUlDhlt 10 buDtulL WlLn eacn
sample of lard an affidavit setting forth
the mandatory from which it came
and the circumstances under which it
was obtained. Mr.. Kimball declined to
do tins. Mr.. Fox then asked for n list
of the manufacturers represented by
the samples Of lard submitted by Mr..
Kimball. This the latter also refused
to give. Mr.. Fox then appealed to the
commissioner, who thought his PROPOSE
ton was fair, and notified Mr.. Kimball
that he would be required to furnish the
information called for Mr.. KimbaIl
declined to obey the direction of the
commissioner and asked for time to con
suit an attorney. He was given until
Monday morning. Mr. Fox requested
that the commissioner Of agriculture go
into the open market and purchase as
much lard as he liked bearing the brand
of Fairbank g. Co. and analyze that in
stead OF the samples furnished by Kim
ball, which he claims are cooked for the
occasion.

A TtCelre- Year-Otd Girl Searching For Her
Second Husband.
st. Joseph special: One of the most
remarkable cases with which the police
of st. Joseph have ever come in contact
was brought to their notice this after
noon. Mrs. John Stephenson, aged IL
years, is in this city looking for her
second husband, who left on farm four
miles north of Mound City, Mo, last
Tuesday. Mrs. Stevenson was married
over two years ago in Grundy county,
Mo-. to Robert Patterson, she being
then 10 years old and her husband II.
She said she was led to her first mar
ria9e at such tender age by the fact
that her father had deserted her and
Patterson offered to become her pro-
tector. She had two children, the fruit
of her first marriage, but both of her
babies died as did also her first husband.
She afterward found her father
living near Mound City and went
back to live with him. Here she
met John Stevenson and he became her
second husband. He is twenty three
years old. This was about three
months ago and the couple lived hap
pLy bO9tbutE DH btlb lhEIl HlGuJlDuttl
until last Tuesday when Stevenson de-
camped, leaving his child wife without
food and almost without clothes. SliE
sold what effects she could from ths
farm, obtained some clothes and started
in pursuit On Friday she saw him in
Mound City but he eluded her, and yes
terday she caTne on to st. Joseph, or.
irving here destitute. The police took
charge of her and domicled her in the
station house last night. Her father
has moved back to Grundy county and
she will go back to him if she fails to
find her husband, and purse is being
raised to defray he- expenses to her
fathers house.
Mrs. Stevenson ia small, even for her
age, and is plain and rather simple
looking. Mayor Doyle provided her
with ticket this evening and sent her
to Hickory Station. where her father
lives.

Shenandoah pa. dispatch: The strik-
ing miners here have at last overstepped
all bounds and hs-> been rioting upsnd
down the streets in full possession ofthe
town.
At o o'clock when the non-union min
ers left their work in the Shenandoah
City and West Shenandoah collieries a
lot of striking Polanders attacked them
with stones. A squad of half dozen
coal and iron police went at once TO
their assistance. They caught one OF
the rioters and were hustling him OF
when the strikers rallied and rescued
him and began TO handle the officers
roughly. Later, however, they sue
ceeded in breaking away and started for
the Shenandoah City mine. followed by
crowd of riotous strikers, who now
numbered about one thousand and who
continued their attacks on the men and
boys coming from the mine. The six
policemen accepted the long odds against
them and returned to the attack. They
made a sharp fight and took couple OF
prisoners, one of whom they landed In
Magistrate Shoemaker's office, but the
crowd rushed for the two policemen
with the other prisoner and began 70
club and beat them.
Finding themselves down and their
lives in danger they drew their reyoly-
ers and fired into the crowd, which
scattered in all directions. Mix He'll
ron, young man, received q ball in the
mouth and is badly injured. John Car
Their, an iron founder, was shot IN arm,
and Polander was shot behind the
ear. A borough officer then arrested
both police for shooting in the crowd.
They were taken before Squire Mona
CHAN. While there, warrant was
sworn ont by Polander, charging them
with assault with intent to kill.
They plead guilty and were awaiting
committal mt Pottsville when the affair
took new turn. The two magistrates
offices are on East Center street q square
and half apart. That whole space
was densely packed with people, large
portion Polish, who were wild with pas
sion. They surrounded the offices yell
ing for the policemen TO be lynched.
Suddenly stone was thrown at Squire
Shoemaker's window.
In minute the fronts of both Offices
were riddled with stones and the in
mates had a tough struggle for safety.
Some bruised bodies resulted. The
town is in perfect uproar. Men are
mad with passion and drink and no one
seems to have any power to quell them.
The borough authorit; es are powerless
and no one can say how the mob fury
may vet assert itself. Captain Christian
will mass his whole force of coal and
iron men here tomorrow, together with
the Pinkerton men. The sheriff to-
night swore in three fire companies as q
posse-comitatus preparatory for trouble
tomorrow. The borough council have
instructed the chief burgess TO
swear in special officers for an emer-
gency. John Durkin, assistant foreman
at the Kohinoor colliery, was shot at this
evening but escaped injury. His assail-
ant was arrested.
At midnight the mob dispersed and
everything is quiet.

Tourist travel in Switzerland and South

to the inhabitants. 1t is proposed to print
from p, 900 TO 600 copies OF the Paradise
of the Pacific monthly, each number to
contain four to eight illustrations, which
will be of q quality nearly equal to photo
graphs. The great boom III California re-
Gently is due largely to its being the most
widely advertised country in the world
The publishers of the Paradise of the Pa
cific agree, should the appropriation pass,
and the intended contract be closed, to
send the paper to all the newspapers,
hotels and reading rooms IN the world.
This is brought forward as good PROPOSE
ton for bringing money into the country.
Rep. Kauhane was in favor of the item.
He had been told that no farther away
than San Francisco, there are people en-
pertaining the idea that we are only saw
ages, eating one another.
Rep. Kinney said he had presented the
petition already referred to. In the negO-
tiatiOns with Mr.. Williams, the estimated
cost was made on the lowest tender for
printing the paper. The Government will
obtain copies of it cheaper than they could
produce it themselves The cash results
of large inhuXes of tourists will be greater
than can be estimated.
Rep. Kalaukoa spoke at length, in Ha-
wtiian, without interpretiOn, against the
item.

without interpretion, in support OF the pro
posed advertising of the country.
