A LAND SLIDE.

'rIehtihi Catastrophe Near Tacoma. on
the Northern Pacific Railroad.
TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 27-A land
slide occurred on the Northern Pacific
near Canton Station, fifty miles from
here, which caused the death of fifteen
men and the possibly fatal injury of
twenty more. The slide occurred at
the base of high bluff, at the foot of
which the railroad runs along the bank
OF the Green river and came without
warning to the doomed men, who were
sent into eternity without anv sort of
an opportunity to help themselves A
force of about sixty men were sent out
IRON Tacoma to fix up the track, which
had been injured by the recent floods
and washouts.

AS soon as the uninjured men could

the work of digging for the bodies OF

THE SALT COMBINATION.

Organization of q SaIs Combine In New
York to Control Production and Trade
Results in a Raise in Prices.
When the Mckinley bill was being
considered by the ways and means com
mttee at its public hearings, several
interests were represented which de-
manded that salt be put on the free
list. This created great alarm among
the producers of salt in New York
state. They at once sent committee
to Washington with petitions aad pro-
tests, the gist of which was that If salt
were made free their works would
have to be closed. In supporting their
demands they pointed with pride to the
fact that they had never taken advan-
tage of the opportunity which the tariff
gave them to corner the market, and
that they had never organized trust
to control and regulate the output and
advance prices. 0ne of thcir commit
tee, Mr.. Kerr, saidi Had it not been
for the American salt, and had our
works been under trust, people would
have been paying considerably higher
prices for their salt to-day"
BY such show of philanthropy the
salt men prevailed and the Mckinley
bill became law, with the duties on
salt retained as theJ were in the tariff
OF 1888
Just as soon as the bill became a law
these salt producers, who had so long
abstained from forming trust out OF
pure philanthropy, held meeting and
formed what they chose to call the
Western New York Salt Mauufactur-
ing association. They also issued II
circular which declared that the OBJ.
iect of the combination was to main
tain uniform rather than high prices, V
and then they proceeded deliberately
to advance the market prices.
The effect Of this advance is shown in
the following table, which gives the
prices prevailing year ago and the
present prices. These prices were
furnished by one of the largest dealers
in salt in Boston:

In the duties of structural iron is de-
manded by the interests of American
consumers. The change In the McKin-
ley tariff has had no effect in reducing
the prices of the beam monopoly. But
if the duty on structural iron should be
reduced to 50 or $40 ton there would
be abundant protection" for the home
manufacturer, as prices and the cost OF
production demonstrate, while there
would be some protection of American
consumers from monopolistic rapacity.
By reducing the duty, and with 1T the
cost of this material it would enter
far more extensively into house build
ing, and thus give healthful stimulus
to great variety CT industrial pur-
suits. s.-Philadelphia Record.

ATTEMPTED LYNCHING
Of a Brutal Ravisher at Indian
apolis, Ind
The Infuriated Mob Driven From the
jail by the Police-The Former
Lacked Nerve and a Leader.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. Prompt
action on the part of the police and the
lack of leadership and nerve on the
part of the mob, saved Indianapolis
Monday night from a display OF
mob violence. Charles Bissow, the
ravisher of little Blanche Station,
last Friday, and who admits hav-
ing outraged Daisy Wright last sum-
mer was arraigned before Judge Bus.
kirk Monday and pleaded guilty to the
charge of rape. lie was sent back to
Jail to await sentence The fact that
both victims of Bissow's fend'sh lust
were under ten years old, intensified
the popular feeling against him to the
| lynching point.
At half-past IL o'clock hundred
men from the South Side suddenly sur.
rounded the Jail and demanded admit
tance. The demand was refused, and
the, door, which gives admittance to the
ante-room was battered open with a
sledge The mob was exceedingly
noisy and demonstrative, The quiet
and determination that usually mean
business were lacking, Hang him" )"
Burn him." "We want Bissow," werc
the yells that could be heard two
squares away.
Having entered the ante-room, the
mob took the keys from the turnkey
and opened the door that leads to the
cages -Four or five rushed in and right

acter of the vigilants When the rank
and file saw their object within
easy attainment, they turned tail and
ran. Their Generalization extend

the mob pursued the advantage that ii
had acquired, it might have got Bissow
out and hung him before enough police
had arrived to prevent it. On the side
walk the avengers halted and reformed
their lines The leaders cursed their fol
lowers. The latter agreed not to weaken
and another advance was made. By this
time several police had arrived and
the door of the cage was locked again.
The crowd took possession of the ante
room and was loud in its demands fol-
Bissow. The police, seeing no imme
diate danger, had retired for consulta'
ton into a side room A herculean fel

The response came in terrific blows

rush, broke open the door that hel'

sledge was dsarmed. Other police ar

Still other reintorcements arrived
and at half-past II the mob was cleared

The Price for the Return of @
Stolen Boy.
Five Thousand Dollars Was the Price
Paid by IA Kansas City Banker-The
kidnapping the Work of Walt
ress in the Mans Employ.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 2S. Thanksgiving
day, day of rejoicing was transferred
Into day of sadness for David T. Beals
and his family. His two-year-old boy
was kidnapped and held for ransom.
Friday, one of sorrow for the family,
was transformed into day OF gladness.
The child was recovered. 5
A Thanksgiving reunion Of the Beals
family took place Thursday at the
house of Mr.. David 7. Beals, a wealthy
banker of this city and capitalist well
known throughout the west. Mr.. Bea,s,
while sixty-two years old, is the father
of two pretty children-a girl aged four
and twoyear-old boy, David I. Beals,
jr., or Junior Bees" as the hoy calls
himself, the only boy of the family and
the particular pride of his father.
While the older members of the fam.
lily were just finishing their dinner at
7 o'clock in the evening, Mr.. Beals' two
children and one of his grandchildren
were making merry in the hall. Sud.
denly the childish glee ceased and al
most Immediately an outer door was
heard to slam. This aroused the sus.
picions of Mrs. Beals, who ran quickly
to the hall to find that Junior Beals
was not among his playmates.
She searched the lower floor alone
and without success, and then, becon.
ing really alarmed, called her husband
and their guests, who made thorough
search of the house from cellar to gar
ret over and over again. No trace OF
the child was to be found. Lizzie Smith,
the waitress, was also missing, and the
conclusion was arrived at that she had
kidnapped the boy,
Mr. Beals offered reward Of SIS, 200
and no questions asked, Friday morn
ing
At I o'clock in the evening man OF
strange appearance presented himself
at the front of the Beals mansion. He
wore falseface and Il wig, and was
dressed very much like day-laborer.
He told the servant who answered the
bell that he must see Mr.. Beals i'm
mediately. Mr.. Beals went to the
door. The man said he was detec'
tive; that he had found the alb
ductress and her accomplices
that they had the lost child In theil
possession; that they demanden $50 0O(
ransom, and that he was prepared tc
deliver the child to its parents for that
amount. Mr.. Beals declined to pay the
sum, and stuck to his original offe,
Of s., 900. 1t was finally agreed
that the detective" should de-
liver the child for that amount.
At 10 o clock ring brought Mr.. Beal'
to the door. He saw his lost chile

had bargained for the de

High Tariffs Restrict But Low Tariffs Pro-
mote Commerce Lessons Taught BY
European Tariffs.
At the meeting held recently in New
York city by the Gamers and other
large consumers of tin plate, for the
purpose of forming an association to
investigate the tin plate question, Con-
gresham Bunting, one of the largest
Gamers in the United States, said:
'The canning industry now con-
sumes more than one-half OF the tin
plate imported, and this was So, 900, 900
yearly, because it was made a mark
for the disastrous discrimination. The
industry counts nearly 1000 establish
ments and gives employment, directly
or indirectly, to nearly 1900, 900 people.
All the promises of concerns which
were to embark in the tin plate busi-
ness within thirty days from the pas
sage of the act have been myths
They are," he adds, still blowing
the tin horn OF promise to the phantom
tin plate industry and adding to NE
reality Of their iron-roofing plants"
Instead of depressing the price of tin
plate, as Mr.. Allison and Mr.. McKin-
lev predicted Mr.. Bunting asserts that
the act made it possible for spectators
to anticipate the proposed advance in
making sales in nine months to such
an extent that consumers paid an ad-
vance on tin plate almost equal to the
increase in duty. He quotes Harry
Nash & Co., OF Liverpool, to the effect
that specu ators made profit of al,.
OO0,o in nine months. He asserts
that the American Timed Plate asso-
citation played confidence game on
Messrs. Allison and Mckinley, which
can only be corrected by the repeal Of
the duty on timed plates by the next
congress.
Mr.. Bunting produces figures show
| ing that the increased cost to con-
sumers of canned goods, by reason Of
the duty on the tin in the cans, is
enough to pay Il, 600 workmen salary
of 500 year. with 100000 left over
1t would require 60, 900 acres OF land to
grow the corn represented by this
waste In the absence Of the duty the
Gamer could pay the farmer 25 per
cent more for the fruits, etc, canned,
and still sell them for the old prices.
The meat packers used 600, 900 boxes
of tin plate in the year ended March l,
last AOf this AS, ,6se b6Sxcsyvcft nssnSs'
home The duty which tie consumers
paid was 81, ,225, $50, or enough to pay
for &C. 2S7 more head Of cattle, which
would have paid the farmer $40 head,
and would have required for grazing
over 1000, 900 acres. This increase in
stock raising, packing and MARKETING
would mean employment for 20, 600 per-
sons. This is about the number OF
persons living off the tin plate industry

priests were cruelty tortured, but met
their fates with Christian resignation.
One of them had his heart and tongue
torn from his body and burned by the
savages in a murderous frenzy.
The most astounding statement is one
that after the miscreants had been
