training in public schools. Bishop John

Workman Powderly and his coadiutors,
Holland, Wright, Hays, Devilin. and
Costello, spent to-day in examining COM
plants, petitions and reports regarding
the order in the Northwest. Mr.. Powderly
stated the charter of the first assembly of

knights of Labor who have organized a
rival order. He stated that they were
stronger without them; that they formed
a disturbing element in the order and
we're hostile to the principles of the
knights of Labor and that they were glad
to have them 90.

ALTERING AssEssMENTs.
Dangers Besetting Taxpayers in This
Direction.
To the Editor of The Leader.

To the Editor OF The Leader.
CHEYENNE, July II, lSS9.-Permit me
through the columns Of your paper to call
the attention OF taxpayers of this city to
the ordinance under which the city soun-
ell acts as a board disqualification. Under
that ordinance they have power to add to
or take from the list of taxable property
handed to them by the city assessor. (so
called). 1t seems to me that power would
be a very dangerous one-should it ever
fall into the hands of vicious and unscru-
pulous men. We cannot, with any GER
tainty, count on always having as impair
tial and conscientious a set of men as we
now have equalizing our burdens of a
ton. We can reasonably hope that
Cheyenne in the near future will be a
large city and the capital of a vigorous
young state. Now let me ask did you
ever know or read of a large city being
governed or controlled by a ring OF VIC
ious and corrupt politicians? Now imag-
inc that state OF affairs 70 exist in Chey-
enne. Some time would not that ordi-
nance be a power for evil in the hands of
bad men-by which they could discrimi-
nate between friend and foe politically or
otherwise? 1t might be safe to say that
barely a quorum would be found at each
sitting, and three would be a majority to
decide the questions of adding to or taking
from the tax list with the whole council
to share the censure or praise their actions
might call forth. In passing upon prop
critics which are in sight their discrimina-
tons would be commensurate with their
audacity. But under the heading OF
moneys and credits" there is where they
could get in their fine work and make all
equal before the law, by disbelieving
those who say positively they have a sur
plus-and those who say they have not.
In conclusion, will say | hope some of our
brainy men will take steps to provide a
better method of assessing.

LINCOLN, Neb., July I7.-Four men
lost their lives in this city this afternoon
under peculiar circumstances. A watch
had dropped into a cess pool and the men
we're endeavoring to recover it. They
dug a large hole at the side of the pool;
this hole was filled with water by rain;
one man stood on a lader above the water
and made an opening into the cesspool;
foul air and gas rushed out and overcame
him and he fell into the water. A friend
went to give aid and he was likewise
overcome; others came to help and one
by one seven men fell into the water
which by this time was full of muck and
lime from the outlet. Three were rescued,
some by men who afterward persisted in
attempting to save others.

Mysterious Hints by KiIrain and

BALTIMORE, July l7.-KilraIn arrived
in Baltimore yesterday and has entirely
recovered from the effects of the battle.
He does not show a mark of any kind.
hilrain said squarely he was whipped.
but thought he was largely the victim OF
circumstances When asked directly if
he thought he had been drugged. he said
NO" johnny Murphy when asked the
same question, answered mysteriouslY
that there was something wrong, but that
for the present his tongue was tied, but
when the time came he expected to make
some important revelations. wv hat have
you got to say about Mitchell" the re-
porter asked. well. he was not very
attentive. to say the least" IF you ever
fight again would you have Mitchell for
your trarner?' No, | don't know that

fight any more. | think | have had my
share of it,"
In speaking further about the fight
Kilrain SAID: Il weighed 1856 pounds
when | went into the ring aud all talk
about me only weighing l6S is all bosh.
| know | had not been trained properly,
and was not in a fit condition to fight
Sullivan, but if | had not gone into the
ring, people would have said | was II
coward and | meant to fight if | was xii
led. The crowd there was against me,
and the referee, | think, while a square
man, was partial to Sullivan, and knew
nothing about the rules. Both he and
the crowd were all the time telling me to
go up to Sullivan, and | went, knowing |
would be knocked down. OF course the
referee had no right to say a word, and
under the rules | could have run ali
around the ring, but there was no one but
little Murphy there to coach me. and |
blindly went up and took my medicine"
The fact though [ was knocked down
repeatedly but not not knocked out, shows
that Sullivan's powerful blows did not
have the power some people suppose they
did. l could have stood up longer but
Donovan threw up the sponge in the ex
element, being afraid | would get killed.
My blows for some reason or other did ut
seem to have any force. My arms seemed
numb, but what was the matter l don't
for the life of me know. The sun had a
terrible effect on me. My back was one
big blister after the fight.

Alive Alter Being Legally Hung.

ATLANTA, Ga, July IA month
has passed since John Pickett cxpiated
the crime of murder on the gallows. The
memory of the event has been rea awakened
in a remarkable manner. The report
comes from Sumpter county that Pickett
is still alive in that portion of the state.
After the hanging the body was taken in
charge by friends who worked successfully
at re~suscitation. If Pickett is still alive
and is appretended the question Is
whether he can be further punished. He
has been declared legally dead and the
case will prove one unparalleled in the
history of the state.

Thread SnoOIS.

Among the peculiar industries which flourish in western Maine is the making of thread spools. They are cut from smooth, white birch timber-a wood which works easily-by various kinds of improved machines. There are nu- merous mills throughout the numbering region, where the birch is sawed into strips about four feet long and from one to two inches in width and thickness. These strips then go to the spool facto- rles, to be converted into spools. The processes they are put through are nu- merous, and one of them, the method of polishing them, is quite interesting. A barrel Is filled nearly full of them and then revolved by means of machinery and betting until the spools are worn smooth by rubbing one against another. Spool manufacturing is the most inn portant industry in several of the vil- iaSes of Oxford county, and will doubt less continue so until the supply of white birch timber is exhausted. The manufacture of shoe pegs is another peculiar Maine industry, though shared in to some extent by other New England states. These are cut from maple and white birch by machinery, and are worth Gt tho factory from thirty-five to ninety five cents bushel. The compressing of sawdust is also a hourishing business in Bangor in that state. There is a firm there styling itself "compress com pany," who convert sawdust and shay mgs into solid bales by compression, which finds ready sale in tho large east ern citieS.-Timberman
