A Reduced Log Crop.

From the most reliable information now
at hand, says the Lumbermaa,, it seems GER
tain that the log crop for the coming sea-
son will be considerably less than it was
last year. Possibly it will be 20 per cent
less. The smaller loggers have retired
from the field altogether this season, some
permanently and others only temporarily.
Besides this, there is noticeable scaling
down among the larger operators. As
many as half dozen are now intending to
reduce their cut from 1900. 900 to 10000
600 below what they had lastyear. There
will accordingly be reduced supplies at the
mills next spring, and less logs on the
market than there was at the opening of
the season. Just how this will affect the
price of logs is the problem which manu-
facturerS are STUDYING.

brought to that city from Conway county
by United States Marshal Faulkenberg on
charge of interfering with the recent
election held in Plummerville, in that

the arrests created quite a sensation. 1t
is claimed that the ballot box at Plummer-
vile was stolen by masked men on the
night of November 6, who secured the
ballot box at the point of O revolver.

Elisha Williams, an old and respected
citizen of Taunton, Mass, was swindled
out of $1,000 by two men last week. One
of them pretended he wanted to buy a
farm of Williams, and went there with
big roll of bills and companion. While
waiting for Williams to prepare the deed
the two played three card monte, and the
would be purchaser was cleaned out appar-
emily by his friend. He asked Williams to
lend MIN $4,000 until he got back his
money and telegraphed to Boston for
funds. Williams came to the city. drew
81, 900. and started for the house, but met
the men coming away. They proposed he
put 81, 900 of their money with Williams
$4,000 and keep it until they came again
in the evening. Williams agreed, tine
money was all put in a small box, and this
box apparently placed in Williams car
rage. Night came, but not the men, and
during the night Williams inspected the
box. II contained piece of wood wrapped
in napkin. The men in the meantime
went to Mansfield in team and sent
word to the livery stable where the owner
could find the horses. Williams has a
good description of the men.

He Was Jealous,

Monday morning Geo. Cooper, of Port
land, Mass, murdered his wife by cutting her
head open with an axe. Jealousy was the
cause. The murderer was arrested in Mid

been unfaithful for some time past, and
the murder was no more than others would
do under the circumstances.

Kansas roilroad managers have received
communications from the railroad COM
missioners requesting them TO make a half
rate on grain shipped to that state. The
corn crop in the larger portion of the state
has failed and farmers will find it difficult
to get grain for their stock. Last year.
under the same circumstances, reduced
grain tariff was effected which was of great
benefit to the residents of the state.

Considerable excitement was created at
Fort Dodge when it became known that
despite the efforts to keep it secret the Des
Moines River Land company and its
agents were preparing to make things
warm for the hardy settlers occupying the
nationally celebrated river lands, and who
refuse to evacuate their farms at the COM
mand of the company. United States
Marshal Desmond, of Clinton, was in that
city early in the week and has been at
work quietly procuring writs of ejectment
on nine tenants of the Litchfield lands.
These will be served in the immediate flu
ture by the marshaps force and large
corps of deputies who are now in that city
for that purpose. These will be followed
by wholesale eyictlons on all other lands.
Within the present month steps will
be taken to see that lands are not again
occupied by the settlers. This creates
great CONSERVATION, as many settlers
have spent their all contesting the
title to the land, and if turned out with
their families at the commencement of
winter must look to charity for support.
So strong has been the conviction of the
average settler that the land he settled
upon, impro, ed, and, in some cases, Sc
cured a government patent for is his be-
yond shadow of doubt, that in most
every case there has been more or less
trouble when the time came for him to
leave at the behest of the river land COM
pany. or number of years very little
has been done toward forcing ont the OBJ
stinate tenants, but of late the company
has been growing impatient and now
proposes to eyict every settler along the
Des Moines river who has not settled mat
tiers or abandoned the farm. Whatever
the rights of the matter may be the COM
pany has the law on its side and it looks
as though the settlers would have to go,
but the present proceedings are heartily
condemned by all as most inhuman.

Barry Again Bounced.

Barry's case before the X. OF L.. con-
gress, held at Indianapolis, came up for
consideration at Saturday afternoons ses-
sion. The report of the committee on ap-
peals and grievances stated that Barry was
expelled for circulating villifying reports
about his colleagues Of the executive
board. 1t recited the statements and allie
cations made by Barry at various times.
The grievance committee by unanimous
vote decided in favor of the general ex-
ecutive board. A long debate then ensued.
George Schilling, of Chicago. took the
floor and made strong speech III behalf
of Barry. General Master Workman Pow
DERBY made a careful statement OF his side
of the case. The chief points were the
same as those made in his annual address.
Several other able speakers followed, and
at the end of the debate, on roll call, the
general executive boards action was sus-
tanned by vote of 122 to "a. Powderly
seems to be hourly growing stronger
among the delegates. Barry said to repor-
ter that he was greatly surprised at the ac
ton of the general assembly, and said he was
more than ever prepared to prove every
statement he has made relative to the doings
of the general officers, "Now that have
been denied hearing" said lie, Il shall
take my case to the high court of public
opinion, and believe when the truth is
made known that the men who control
Knights of Labor to-day and are living at
the expense Of poverty will be considered
the most Infamous seoundrels that ever
lived and become a stencil in the nostrils
of honest men. 1 have been twenty two
years a trades unionist and Knight of La
Dor, and never had speck of dirt on my
card. l appreciate my position Of being
expelled for exposing their rascality. This
is all shall say at present. From now on
the people may expect to hear from me
daily until T have placed these men in
their true light before the public Barry
has long statement of his case which he
will give to the public later. 1t is said to
be detailed and very sensational state
ment of what he has been charging against
the general officers of the order.
