Up to Date the Coke Strike Has Cost
About Three aud Half Millions.
ScoTTDALE, Pa. April 29.-The affairs
in the coke region were very quiet to-
day. The Keyster plant came to the
cookers terms, making the fourth in the
district, and the men seem more conf
dent. The operators report increased
forces, and men are arriving on every
train, the Prick company having turned
a carload through here tonight, bound
for Kyle. The cost of the coke strike up
to this, the twelfth week, is estimated at
about three and one-half million dollars.
The business community has also felt
the evil effects keenly and has lost thou
sands of dollars. 1t has been estimated
that the men have lost over a million
dollars in wages, and the operators sui
fered other losses. It is also said that
coke yesterday sold as high as So per
ton. Sheriff Mccormick has decided to
make several evictions at the Prick
plants tomorrow, and that simply means
that the trouble will be renewed.

Washington to the Commercial Gazette
says that Solicitor General Taft was to-
day summoned from Washington to San
Diego, Gala. to the deathbed of his
father, Hon. Alphonso Taft, ex-secretary
OF war and ex-minister to Austria and
Russia. Judge Taft suffered severely
from pneumonia while in st. Petersburg,
Russia, as United States minister that
ne never fully recovered. A complica-
ton OF ailments followed and presently
he went to Chill, South America, where
he spent some time trying to
recuperate his health. It was on his re-
turn that he stopped at San Diego, CAL,
where, for q. time, his health appeared to
improve He was intending to return to
Chill when summer weather came. The
sad news Of a change for the worse was
against what his family and friends here
had reason to expect, since the last adj
vices from him encouraged hope.

occasion being the performance of ten

Taylor, became very troublesome and
shot Policeman Charles Cook who was

hung HIM up to cross beam. It was all
done in an orderly manner, under recog-

mob then quietly dispersed. Most of
them were on horseback and no one
knows who they were. It has been
learned that in the fight the negro also
shot one of the circus men. The negro

large dirk on his person. He is said to

LAND COMMISSIONER CARTER, in re-
ply to letter from Governor Burke,
inquiring what the status of the state
would be toward lands which it was en-
titled to select under the enabling act,
and especially lands where entries had
been made and since abandoned, rules
that under the pre- emption law as soon
as a tract has been abandoned it be-
comes government land and the state
may select it as part of the grant.
Under the other land laws where entries
are made they will hold the lands until
an abandonment is proven, and the
party proving an abandonment has
thirty days to enter the land. He says
that if the state desires to contest these
entries it has perfect right to do so, and
if an abandonment is proven it will be
entitled to select the lands as part OF
its grant under the enabling act of ad.
mission to the union.
This will be of considerable import.

the field agent of the board of school

I. @. WADE, we'll known all over the
Dakotas as authority upon matters re-.
lating to cattle, writes the following let.
ter, which should be read and needed by
every farmer:
Some three months ago, prognosticated
rise in cattle. To-day good cattle are
selling from Is to so per cent. more than
last fall. We of Dakota can rest assured
that there is still further advance coming
to us on cattle. Cattle are being picked pn
all over the United States at fancy prices,
j. e. fancy as to ruling prices the past three
years.
Within the past sixty days, Armour &
Morris, of Chicago, have picked up all the
distillery fed cattle of Canada and over 80.
900 in the Panhandle of Texas. Why this
extra purchase unless they are sure cattle
will still further advance? Every calf
born in Dakota 0ughtt0 be kept this spring
nothing will pay better. From now on
stock can pick for themselves; in fact, nv
Dakota Valley herd Of pure breds have
picked the most Of their feed all winter
and they are healthy and lively.

Ohio Miners.
A Big Labor Demonstration in New
York Passes off Without
any Trouble.
Incendiary Speakers in Different La
bDr Centers Address Crowds Of
Wage Workers.
The Northwestern Coal Fields.

CHICAGO, May with the exception
of Iowa, where miners in nearly all the
coal fields in the state have quit work,
advices from numerous northwestern
mining and industrial districts indicate
that there was concerted movement on
the part of the laboring classes looking
to the adoption by employers of the
eight-hour basis for days labor. There
we're isolated instances of serious trouble
incident upon the May-day holiday and
the wanton destruction of property out
of revenge for some real or fancied griev-
ance. Rock Island, ILL.,, reports no strike
or other demonstration on the part of
the coal miners, they being we'll paid and
generally satisfied with their present con-
dition. At Oskaloosa, Iowa, a secret
meeting of the Iowa district of the
United Mine workers was held, at which
an executive order was promulgated, or
dering all Iowa miners to strike forth
with, emphasizing their demand for an
eight hour work day. The order states,
uOWcfSl, ludU tuC 1OWd ulotllCu 10 dCtluS
independently in the matter. Incendia-
ries this morning fired the large build
lngs at the shaft and No. of the consol-
idated coal company, and they were de-
stroyed, entailing loss of $1,000,
with no insurance. The major
ity of the mines are now closed
but it is thought the majority OF the
miners will resume work tomorrow. At
Spring Valley, Illinois, district by COM
mon consent all mines stopped work to-
day. Neither the miners or operators
have proposed basis of settlement for the
coming year. Everybody seems inclined
to patiently await the developments.
The miners are under instructions of
their state officers and no demand will be
made suntil sanctioned by them. The
operators are in main non-committal and
no meeting, have been held. A Des
Moines, Iowa, dispatch says: Contrary
! to expectations the executive board of
united mine workers of the Iowa district
to-day ordered all it's members to quit
work for the establishment of eight
hour work day, to remain out till further
notice. All miners in this vici-ity are
idle to-day and it is thought eight or
nine hundred will stay out under the
above order. About 10000 miners are
affected in this state.
