Another report has reached here from

illness with which the Car has been

details of this report or confirmation
thereof are obtainable, but the fact that
the censorship of kilograms has been
most vigorously enforced at st. Peters,

reason to believe that the Car is in

WASHINGTON, April 3.---The House on
Wednesday discusses at length the bill
for the admission of Idaho. Mr.. Dor
sey (Neb.) sketched the progress OF the
people of Idaho since the formation OF
the Territory in 1853. and said the only
opposition to tho admission of the new
State came from the Mormons, who pro-
tested against the provision OF the
constitution which disfranchised big
amists and polygamists. Mr.. Man
sur '(Mo.) disclaimed any sym.
pathy with polvgamy, but criu-
cised the provision disfranchising
the Mormons, SAYING the reason for dis
franchising them was that the Idaho
Mormons voted the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Dubois (ldaho) made strong ap-
peal for the passage of the bill. Mr..
Chapman (Mich.), while favoring the
admission of all the Territories, criti-
cised the proposed constitution of Idaho
as an invasion Of sacred individual and
religious rights. Pending further de-

sALooN-KEEpERs MAKING THREATS.

FARMINGTON, Mo-, April 3. - Five
women Of this city made u determined
and successful raid Wednesday upon
the supplies Of the "blind tiger which
has been running In this vicinity for
some time. contrary to the local-option
law, which is In force in this and
neighboring towns. One OF the
women recently made single
handed attack with an axe up
on the saloons, and this brought
to the attention Of the women the fact
that several saloons were running in
violation of the law. The ladies then
served notice upon the saloon keepers
that they must either close their places
OF business or be closed by the cruss-
dsrs. The saloOn-keepers swors out
warrants against the women for con-
spiracy, and since that time the feeling
has become very bitter.
Wednesday morning five women, Mrs.
Jennie Foster Mrs. q. w. Williams,
Mrs. Howard Jerrold, Mrs. William
Odgers and Mrs. Finley, met at the
Presbyterian church during the ladies'
prayermeeting by preconcerted plan.
Each wore heavy shawl, and concealed
under it carried an axe. One was armed
with small rifle.
After prayer-meeting the crusaders
started out on their raid. They had
not gone far before they met August
Tromson's beer wagon, loaded with
twenty-five kegs of beer They
forced tie driver to descend from
his seat, and then dumped the
kegs into the street, smashed the heads
in, and allowed the beer to run into
the gutter. Mrs. Foster had assumed
the captaincy of the crusaders, and TAX
ing possession of the wagon, mounted
the drivers seat and drove her compan-
ions TO the Delassus railway station,
where the Pennington saloonists re-
ceive their consignments of beer and
liquor.
There they found twenty-six kegs
and twenty-five cases Of beer con-
signed to saloonist at Docrun.
With their axes the crusaders broke the
bottles and smashed the kegs. The
women then drove back to Pennington
and returned to August Thomson his
horse and wagon. Thomson threatens
to prosecute the women.
The saloon men are highly excited
and threaten to prosecute all the CRU
saders for malicious mischief and wan
ton destruction of valuable property.
The crusaders are running the town and
the man is not to be found who cares to
personally interfere with them. One
saloon keeper has provided his place
with ample means of defense, and
threatens to take the law into his
own hands if the women attempt to
carry out their threat to destroy
all the beer in Pennington. He
keeps large tank full of hot water,
and says that upon the first attack he
will scald the assailants. The crusade
is condemned by conservative citizens,
who fear that the demonstrations OF
the women will precipitate rict and
possibly bloodshed. The saloons will
run as usual, and there is talk of re-
straining the women by injunction il
they become too troublesome.

THE PLAYERS LEAGUE.


It's Conference at New York Makes an
Important Change In the schedule-De-
ssrters to he Taken Back.
New York, April s. "A conference Of
the PLAYERS Baseball League was held
At the Fifth Avenue Hotel Wednesday
to discuss generally the outlook for
the coming season and to provide for
the success of the brotherhood move
ment. The meeting proved to
be harmonious. Those delegates
who had in mind the altera-
ton of the entire schedule evidently
saw that there was no chance to carry
their point, as the subject was not
broached at the meeting. An important
change was MADE by changing the open
ing dates so that the seasons of both
the national league and players league
open on the same day, April 10.
The change of date has had the effect OF
making the fight more aggressive, and
it silences the national league people
who claimed that the players were
afraid to clash with them in regard to
dates. 1t now leaves it with the public
to decide whether they will support the
players or the nationals.
The question of taking back deserters
was promptly settled. 1T was decided
that Beckley, Mulvey and Delehanty be
reinstated if the board of directors
passed unanimous vote to that effect
