WAR ON THE sRoTHsaHooD.

Western Union Company Discharging
Men Belonging TO the Organization.
strikes Forced at st. Paui aud st. Louis.
ST. PAUL, Oct 2s. The trouble be-
tween the Western Union Telegraph
company and its operators eliminated
at 8 p. m, when nearly the whole of the
night force left their desks in a body
and marched down stairs. This sudden
and somewhat unexpected action was
brought about by the discharge Of four
more of the brotherhood men, As soon
as this action on the part Of the company
was known the operators decided upon
instant action, and at 8 o'clock, as
stated, all members Of the brotherhood
Left Their Keys and walked Out.
They seemed to be certain Of winning
their case, which was that the discharged
men should be reinstated.
There is considerable difference of
opinion as TO the strike, even among the
friends of the operators, some thinking
it ill-adyised. Nearly all the night men
are members of che brotherhood, but
very few of the day operators belong to
il. Cutie a number of the day men
were at once called upon and went TO
work at night, SO that the company was
not. t.greatly inconvenienced.
Men Tsenounce the brotherhood.
ST. PAUL, Oct. co. The Western
Union trouble has been settled, and the
strickers with all but four of the dis
charged men will be taken back into
the employ of the company as soon as
there are places for them. The men are
Obliged TO renounce the brotherhood,
and have agreed to do SO.

other employees, who refused to take
their places. The first operator refusing
was Immediately discharged. wherenpon
some twelve or fifteen of the best men
donned their coats and walked out.
Some of the strikers are not members of
the union. and state the unjust treat
ment in the discharge of their compan-
ions was the cause of their walkout.

Important LIQUOR Decisions.

TOPEKA, KAN, January 1.-The most
important of the decisions Just fled in the
supreme court is the one in case of the state
VS.. F. w. Fulker, the Original package"
case, involving the right to sell liquor In
Kansas in original packages as received
from points out of the state. The lower
court held that such a sale was a violation
of the state law and Fulker was convicted.
The supreme court now affirms the deci-
sion. The defendant will appeal to the
United States court, as the question involves
a federal question.
The court denied the application for q
rehearing in the Kearnay county seat case,
made by the Lakin part es, and Hartland
will remain the county seat.
In the case of Michael Treahey vs.. Frank
c. Holiday, brought up from this county,
the court sustains the dec.s on OF Judge
Guthrie. This was peculiar case. The
plaintiff sued the defendant. who is a drug
gist, for damag. s because defendant refused
to sell him a quantity of whisky. The
court holds that the prchibitory law leaves
the selling of liquor to the scretIon of
drugg1s:s, and that a druggist Is not liable
for damages if he refuses to make a sale
when the applicant makes his application

LIBERTY, NO.. January Thames Sheetz,
charged with murder in the first degree for
the killing of John Luyton, Is released on
bail. A preliminary examination was
offered to the prisoner before a justi-e OF
the peace, but his attorney waived examina-
ton, merely entering formal plea of not
guilty for his client Sheetz and his attor-
ney then appeared before Judge Gray, In
the county court, and procured a writ OF
habeas corpus, claiming tina. inasmuch as
the killing was done in self defense it was
bailable case. No testimony was taken on
the question of self defense, and although
the prosecuting attorney contested the issu-
ance of the writ, the Judge granted the mo-
ton and fixed the bail at the ridiculous low
figure of IL, Signatures to the bond
were easily procured among Sheetz's friends
and the prisoner was released. The CRIME
itself, involving, as 1t does, the ruin OF Luy-
toms wife by Sheetz and the murder OF
Luyton. caused great Indignation among
the people here, and the action of the court
in treating the matter so lightly has in
creased the bitter feeling.

KeIIav. of PannsylvanIa.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 1.-Judge
William D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, is dead.
His death was painless. To the watchers
at his bedside he seemed to have fallen into
a deep and peaceful sleep. He was uncon-
scIous at the last and had been at intervals
during the last two days. His remains Will
be buried at Laurel cemetery, Philadelphia.
The immediate cause of Judge Kelley's
death was intestinal catarrh, brought on by
cold contracted during Christmas week.
For some years, however, he had been an
almost constant sufferer from a cancerous
growth IN the side of his face which was re-
moved about six years ago by surgical
operation. The relief thus obtained was only
temporary, and since that time it has de-
veloped so rapidly during the past year that
it must soon have conquered him had he
not fallen a victim to the catarrhal afec-
ton.
He was nearly 75 years old, and during
the latter years of his life his general nealth
has not been good.
Judge Kelley was born IN Philadelphia,
April II, 1914; was we'll educated IN MS
youth. His first work was that of reader
IN a printing Office. Afterwards he learned
the trade of ieweler and worked at 1t Tor
some years. He then studied law, ana also
did much literary work.
He has served continuously as member
of congress since the thlrty-seventh con-
gress; having been elected the fifteenth
time as member of the tifty-frst congress.
he has been member of numerous COM
mittees of the house and chairman of some
of the most important. notably the COM
nittee on ways and means. He has served
in the lower house longer than any other
member, and for this reason is often called
The Father of the House."
He has for many years been known as
"Pig Iron Kelley" He was at one time
free trader, but later became an ardent pro-
tectionist, and has written several works in
opposition to the free trade theory. Among
his works are Reasons for Abandoning the
Theory of Free Trade and Adopting the
Principles of Protection" "Letters of In.
dustrial and Financial Questions" and

LONDON, January 9.-As Prince Bismarck
continues to find the want of homogeneity
IN the Austrian empire and the growing
discord between its different nationalities an
obstacle of good politics, and sees how
greatly these reduce .he value of an Aus
TRAN alliance, it is said that he already
contemplates very radical change of base
IN his policy and speculstes upon a large
application of the idea of races that was the
basis of SO many schemes and projects al
the period when Alsace and Lorraine were
annexed to Germany.
His new application of the theory OF
bringing all German speaking people under
the German flag would be at the expense OF
Austria, and at the expense of Russia, but
for Russia there would be conversations.
The policy, in fact, would wipe out Austria
aS that empire now stands, for Germany
would take the Austro- German duchies; and
while Germany would also get the German
Baltic provinces now held by Russia, Rus
STA would get an equivalent in Galicia and
Bukowina and would be gwen free hand
in Romania and the Balkan countries.
The Austrian government knows that this
is not merely a diplomatic dream, but Is
one of the present possibilities of the chan
cellor's policy and may become proba-
bllity of the race feuds now pervadIng the
empire, and combined with hostility to
Germany, will force the chancellor to pro-
ject alliances elsewhere.

export By that bark, have started ccnsid-
erabie realizing on American securities By
foreign holders. The possibility of gold
exports at no distant day is therefore dis
cussed.
Imports and exports have both fallen OF
much SINCE January 1, and while either
change may be bat temporary, there are
some facts which point to different con-
clusion. Cotton exports have been remark
ably heavy for three months and are now
falling behind last years; change is nat
ural and must be expected to continue.
The movement of wheat has not been
large IN December, with prices compare
lively low, and can hardly be expected to
increase much with higher prices. In gen
products must have been to some extent
satisfied for tie present, also in the UMPIRE
cedented exports of the past quarter.
Boston observes more life since the arrival
of cooler weather. Chicago reports double
last years movement In dressed beef and
grain, but decrease of a third in coal and
decrease In hides, wool and dry doods.
At Omaha trade is generally good, and at st.
Paul the spring trade is opening fairly.
Respecting money and collections the stu
alton Is about as last reported.
In general the interior markets appear
only fairly well supplied, notwithstanding
TIE large amounts of money sent west and
ssuth during the last four months. No i'm

DR.. Salmon on Hog Cholera.

TOPEKA, KAN, January 13.-Dr. D. E.
Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal in
dustry, of Washington, D. c., read paper
on hog cholera before the state board of
agriculture.
He was asked how to distinguish hog
cholera from swine plague.
DR.. Salmon replied that it would be very
difficult to find typical cases. In swine
plague the disturbance was noticed in the
lungs, and in genuine hog cholera ulcers
showed in the intestines. There were other
disturbances. Both diseases would appear
in the same herd. Both were bacterial dis
eases. The evidences, however, were GER
tain that the two diseases " ere distinct. The
remedies must be different. Even inocula-
ton must be different.
He was asked how long a farmer should
wait before stocking up again, after he had
lost his hogs by cholera.
The doctor replied that depended upon
conditions; however. after three or four
months, he thought, the germs would have
lost their power of conveying the disease.
He recommended time dislnfectants, and
then three months time he thought would
be safe. It all depended how thoroughly
you disinfect the lot. The bacteria will not
multiply in frost, in the ground.

any medical treatment as preventiver
mo, nothing has been so far discovered"

Deadly Wires at St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, No., January 9.-The snow of
the past few days turned to rain drops, but
as they fell they became CONCEALED and COW
cred everything with ice. The electric
wires present beautiful appearance, but
the wary citizen has learned to glance ask
ance as he passes beneath the ice covered
network of wires, and the swapping of an
icicle is the signal for a mad, blind rush
such as the cry of fire in a crowded theatre
would produce.
The deadly electric light wires were the
cause OF such general exhibitions of alarm.
The DANCE; of breaking limbs on sleety
walks was not half so near the public mind
as the fear of death from an electric shock
Now and then a wire sagging beneath a
heavy weight OF ice would touch another
wire. The blue sparks would fly for a mo-
ment and q shivering blue flame followed
until the fusing of the wires caused them to
crack, and striking the sidewalk, the
crowds would scatter, falling over each
other IN their anxiety to reach place of
safety.
The accidents from electric wires have
been so hume GUS that hardly one man in a
thousand will 60 near q fallen wire, Even
the Qogs run hOwlIEg from the scene. The
police are watching for fallen wires, the
electric light and telegraph and telephone
companies have men out repairing the dam

Two street ear horses were killed and their

AGRICULTURE.

Meeting of the Kansas State Board
TOPEKA, KAN, January 10.-The nine
tenth regular annual meeting of the Kan.
sas state board of agriculture, upon assem-
bling, listened to the reading of an address
prepared by Governor L. L. Humphrey,
The governor was sick and could not be
present His speech concluded as follows
1t tries the utmost grasp OF our magma
ton and the active play of our best facul-
ties IN the effort to family comprehend the
mighty transition from the Kansas of the
fit es and the sixties to the Kansas of to-
day-a wondro1s change indeed, wrought
by the toll and the courage, seasoned with
the prayers, the tears and the blood of tbs
men and women who laid the foundations
of our commonwea tn.
lnseparably associated with this grand
Achievement, and potent agency In the
splendid material progress of the state dur
ing the quarter century past, has been the
state board of agriculture and Its parent
society. So that no words of mine are
needed to assure you of welcome here,
nor of the grateful acknowledgment of the
people of Kansas for the eminent service
done the state.
A. w. Smith, president of the board, re-
sponded to the governors address of vel
come. In his speech he advocated the re-
monetization of silver. Ex-Governor George
7. Anthony followed.
He paid his compliments to the typical
politician, and threw back upon the people
the responsibility of the corruption of its
officials Send men, not merchandise, to
legislative seats, and you need not fear
railroad Lobbyists. Do men go to millinery
stores to get their horses shod? No, nor
would they tempt to bride or corrupt
honest men.
He deplored the tendency of the public
thought in the direction of trying to find
financial relief in legislation, where indi-
v1dual effort was wanting.
He next touched upon the vast silver sur
plus. The mines were producing extraor-
dinarily. The dollar of silver was not a
dollar, it was just seventy-two cents, and
yet we are crying to have them multiplied.
just as well go to congress and ask it to
make three pecks a bushel. That was the
silver question as he understood it.
He closed his address by an eloquent
apostrophe to the Kansas State Agricultural
society.
"a voice-'fHow about deep waterr')
That is another faliacy. Our overproduc-
ton is of statesmen, not of crops. Deep
blowing here is CT more Importance than
deep water down there. He wanted the So
clety to show to eastern people information
covering our inducements for manufac-
lures. That is where our relief as q state
has got to come. The matter of transpor-
tation, of course he should touch delicately,
but please remember that you cannot ship
your products 1000 miles, and what you
need to wear 1900 miles back again and be

CHICAGO, January 14.-Mrs- J. Ellen Fos-
Ter, president of the Iowa W. C. 7. O.,
passed through Chicago on her way east
after having been in attendance upon q
special meeting of the executive committee
of the Iowa W. c. T. Q. and also the gem
eral mass convention of the temperance
people from the entire state. In an inter
view she said:
'The Iowa union, though still technically
auxiliary to the National union, will, at the
next annual meeting, sever its constitu-
tional auxillisryship. The election OF
democratic governor did not turn on the
question of prohibition. The transporta-
ton question and others of purely local
character determined the result. The re-
publicans still have q majority IN the legis-
lature, and believe a few democrats will
be governed By their own temperance prin-
cip,es and vote against the repeal of the
law. The convention Just adjourned was

A Broken Electric Light Wire.


ST. Louis, Mo-, January 1O.-A fire started
in the Western Union telegraph building
ana assembled through the air shaft from
the first to the top floor. the building was
an old one, and in addition to the Western
Union Telegraph company was occupied
by the offices of the Associated Press, the
DAILY Printing company, a cigarette COM
pany and the Bradley Printing and Roll
company and one or two other offices,
The fire was brought under compete con-
troll, but the building is Quilted. ALI the
Western Union wires we're burned out, but
by active efforts they were able to restore
communication. The fire started IN the
Easement and spread upward so quickly
that all inmates of the operating room had
to fly for their lives, and many of them had
narrow escapes. The firemen were greatly
hindered in their work by the street wires.
A wire leading to the basement of the
building came in contact with broken
electric light wire and at once the building
was on fire.
The basement has few people in it, and
no trouble being anticipated from the wires
on the roof. if any at all, little attention
was given, the basement, and the fire had
got beyond control when discovered. The
fire department made hard fight, but the
mass of wires made unsuccessful the work
of the firemen. They would not risk their
lives in cutting them until all the electric
light currents were turned off.
The Associated Press Office was on the
second floor and was totally destroyed.
The loss is estimated at 100000, of which
$4,000 falls on the Western Union COM
pany. The adjoining buildings were badly
damaged by smoke and water.

A Topeka Man In 1t.

CHARLESTON, S. C., January 13.-The west
ern emigration agents have reached Charles
ton, and movement of the negroes towards
the west is imminent. A circular signed
by W. S. EaRleson. No. 1923 Quincy street,
Topeka, Kan, has made its appearance
here. 1t was addressed to the clergymen
of negro churches, and announces that
Ok ahoma Is open for settlement. Emil
grants are told that they can for $14 secure
160 acres of rich farming land.
1t is not probable that many negroes will
leave Charleston, because there are few in
this county who are dissatisfied with their
condition. The circular, however. has been
extensively circulated in Barnwell, Colleton.
Edge6eld. and other counties where the
negroes are dissatisfied. and it Is not i'm
probable that the promoters of the enter
prise, who seem to be railroad agents, viii
secure quite number of emigrants.
