ORIGINAL PACKAGE HOUSES.
Details Of an Alleged Scheme OF Iowa
Liquor Dealers.

FoRr DODGE. Iowa, Oct. 2l.-A systematic
scheme on the part Of the liquor men Of Iowa
to bring back the original package to legal life
has been discovered in this city. A number of
the men who were openly engaged in the
original package business last summer re-
ceived circulars purporting to come from the
secretary of the state original package dealers
association. The name signed to the circular
was that Of Appointment Council Bluffs liquor
dealer In the name Of the newly formed as
ISOLATION every saloon keeper was urged TO
contribute literally to fund to be used in an
attempt to secure an injunction restraining
Iowa courts from prosecuting original package
dealers under the old prohibition law. It is
claimed that the recent Kansas decision gives
good grounds for such an action.
Sioux CITY, Iowa. Oct. aboriginal package
houses are beginning to open here in view Of
the recent Kansas decision. The city authori-
ties are arrestng the proprietors and fining
them $50 month, as was done before Con-
gress passed the bill There are at least 800
places where liquor is sold, but these places
will BIO closed up BY the city authorities and

allowed to run.

WILL ERIE MEN STRIKE?
A Difference Of Opinion Regarding
Probable Action.

New YORK, Oct. 2l.-It is rumorcd again that
the employees Of the Erie railroad have decided
on strike on account Of the refusal of the
company to grant the demands OF the En-
ployes' Federation for the ten-hour work day
and extra pay for overtime. Vice President
FELTON, told . reporter that he had not heard
from the men and he did not think there would
be any trouble. He paid no attention to
rumors whatever. supt. Barrett at Jersey City
said that no strike was expected and that the
men would not go out. President Kings
answer to Mr.. Youngson and his committee was
final and should have been made a year ago.
when they first presented their demands. He
was of the opinion that the rumors about a
strike were started by persons who would like
to have trouble on the road 80 that they might
take advantage Of it and secure situations. A
conductor, who said he member Of the
brotherhood, said that there would be no strike,
as the men would get their rights without it.

PUZZLED THE DOCTORS,
A Young Woman Who Cannot BE Pro.
nounced Alive or Dead.

LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. 21.-Mrs. Caroline
settley Of New Holland, small village twelve
miles from here, received box by express
from Mt Vernon, Ohio, Sunday, on which,
above the address, was written the words
Suicide" When the lid was removed Mrs.
Settley was Mortified to find that it contained
the body of her daughter Helen. The woman
summoned physicians and asked that post
mortem examination be held. As the doctors
were assisting in removing the body from the
box they noticed that the evidences of death
were not there. No rigidity was apparent, not
a. sign OF decomposition. The girl was
placed in bed and closer exami-
nation made. The hands were found to
BIO warm and slight flush appeared
on the cheeks. Restoratives we're applied, but
to no avail. These conditions were the Same
throughout tho night and all of yesterday.
The physicians are puzzled, and wonder how
it is possible for vestige of life to remain
after the confinement in the box. The au-
thorities have been notified, and are doing
their utmost to solve the mystery.

the Course of Events.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-The brotherhood Of
base ball players met at the st. James, Hotel
this forenoon, and, after some desultory con-
versation, resolved to do nothing until they

pretty we'll Only New York, Pittsburg
and Brooklyn seem anxious for a con-
solidation, and they are not too anxious.
Secretary Brunnell of the Players League said
this forenoon that the Players League would
be in favor of compromise rather than a con-
solicitation of the two leagues This Is what
would be determined at their meeting. They
will favor giving the brotherhood a repre-
sentation.
The Players'League met at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel at noon. Geo. Wagner and Z. l. Elliott
Of Philadelphia arrived this morning. The ap-
pointme Mt of the conference committee will be
their chief business. The brotherhood of ball
players adjourned shortly after IL o'clock.

thusiasts looking for tips or trying to en-
courage themselves in tips already
obtained. The red and white flags marking

in the wind and promised an exciting sport
which Washington has been deprived OF for
some time.

returned from Detroit is responsible for the
statement that when the affairs of R. G. Peters
& Co., which recently failed at Manistee, are
sifted to the bottom it will be found that the
big lumber firm may be able to pay dollar for
dollar. Mr.. Peters own estimate Of his affairs
places his liabilities in the neighborhood Of
Sl,75O,0O0 and his assets between 1000, 600
and S5,000,G00. Conservative estimates, how
ever, increase the liabilities and reduce the as
sets considerably. Still the general opinion is
that the assets will, il properly managed, pay
dollar for dollar and leave a good margin.
