Made Sure of Death,

MIssoULA, August 12.-lSpecial to the
TRIBUNE. John Drummer, who has had
charge of the lodging rooms over the
Montana saloon, shot himself at 6 o'clock
this evening. The deed was done with a
38 calibre revolver. the bullet entering a
little below the left nipple and stopping
against the muscles of the back. He is
still alive and was taken to the Sisters
hospital. No cause has been assigned
for the shooting, but it is supposed that
he was dispondent from drinking heavily
during the past few days.
Joe Wagner, his employer, states that
just previous to the shooting he was
taking to Drummer and asked him to
turn over the money in the safe, which
should have been about 80. Drummer
said that he was short s. and would 90
Immediately and get it. He went imme-
diately to the water closet and shot him
self.
LATER.-It has been discovered that
Drummer took a dose of carbolic acid be-
fore he ehot himself. His recovery is
impossible.

Miles, the important duties they had be-
fore Mr.. Proctor broke up the divisions.
Gen. Schotield has always opposed this
change made by Mr.. Proctor. He con-
siders that division organization will be
essential in time Of war and argues that
the system should be the same in time
of peace il efficient service is to be ex-
pected in time of emergency. Even
those who advocate the abolition OF divis-
ion commands are not pleased with the
manner in which Mr.. Proctor arranged
the department commands, for as it is
now, some of the brigadier- generals have
larger forces than are commanded by the
two major-generals.
Whether the divisions are restored or
not there will undoubtedly soon be a
more equal distribution of the military
forces under tie different commands. 1t
is probable, too. that there will be some
changes in departmental headquarters.
A transfer Of the headquarters Of the
department of Arizona from Los Angeles
to Santa Fe, N. NJ, is already practically
assured. 1t is highly probable, also,
that General Carr will be assigned to

THE MYSTIC SHRINE.
Three Thousand Mobiles of the Ancient
Order Parade at Omaha.

OMAHA, Aug. 15.-Three thousand
Mobiles, with cleaning lances and bril-
liant apparel, on foot, in carriages and
bestrlde gaily caparisoned camels, wend-
ed their way through the oasis of Omaha
this evening. The caravan was a mag
nificent spectacle and as it wound around
the trail leading from the temple through
the haunts of the traders it was greeted
with a grand display of bunting, illumi-
mated with pyrotechnics. Twenty thous-
and people gathered along the line of
march and witnessed the grand parade
Of the Ancient Arabic Order of the
Mystic Shrine now assembled in Omaha,
maching until 0 o'clock. 1t disbanded
on Farnum street, after having been re-
viewed by IllustrOus Potentate Briggs
from the Paxton house balcony. Then
came a grand reception of the Mobiles
and their ladies at which they were well
coined by Mayor Bemis and given the
key to and freedom of the city.
The rooms Of the temples represented
here were crowded with Mobiles all day
and far into the night and there was
music to beguile the senses and revive
memory OF other days. Water bottles,
hung upon the backs Of the camels, were
opened and the s%ojourners drank deep of
the refreshing liquid. For those who
desired deeper ~draughts there we're
punch bowls, presided over by dusky
sons OF the desert, and other refresh
ments for the worthy travellers who had
~iourneyed hither from every state in the
union. The imperial council opened
this morning ut o o'clock at Masonic
temple. lllustrious Potentate Samuel
Briggs called the council to order and
delivered his annual report. Considcra-
ton Of tho report OCCUPIED the day.

MIsaocLA, August l3.-lSpeciai.to the
TRIBUNE. Post Office Inspector VIM.
Watkins was here today to investigate
the claims Of Missoula for a free de
livery system. He stated that as the letter
of instructions from the post Office de-
partment relating to the numbering of
houses and the placing of signs bearing
the names of the streets on the corners,
not having been obeyed by the city au-
thorities he would be compelled to re-
port adversely. He intimated, however,
that another inspector might be sent
when the mayor of the city or tho post
master informed the department that
the instructions relating to these mat
tiers had been complied with and that a
favorable report would probably then
be made.

great many people feel that the govern
ment should have acquainted Mr..
Jennings with its side OF the case. The
district attorney would not talk on the
case beyond dropping an occasional hint
as to it's legal aspect. 1t is known the
government is Indifferent as to the
opinions of the people regarding the
justice OF the arrest Of Miss Borden. 1t
is reported the prosecution will present
but little OF its case at the preliminary
hearing, keeping back, IL possible, the
most important evidence.

Crops Are not Up to Expectations-The

New YORK, August 12.-R. g. Dun a.
Co.'S weekly report of trade says: Crops
are not up to expectations and are con-
strued as an indication of a deficiency i n
the supply of corn and oats, while any
possible deficiency in wheat and corn
will be more than met by surplus stocks,
but prices have advanced quite sharply
and exports of domestic products has
fallen below last prices. The great in

less increased 10000 tons during the
month of July, and the first of August
exceeded a million tons. Southern pig
iron is pressed for sale and some quota
tons are lower than ever.
But a resumption of manufacture by
western iron works which have settled
their disputes with their men will make
a great change in the situation, at once
increasing the output of pig-iron, but
probably the demand will be still more.
Manufactures Of pig-iron and steel have
been in active demand, nearly all the
works are in operation, being crowded
with orders: but rails are dull as ever,

BURNED THE sTOCKADE.
Trouble Between the Miners and ConvIcts
in Tennessee.

in Tennessee.
NASHVILLE, Aug. 13.-At 0 o'clock
this morning the stockade at Tracy City
was burned and 800 convicts we're placed
on cars ready to be started for Nashville.
At 5 o'clock this morning a committee
of miners awoke +. o. Nothurst, super
intendent of mines for the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad company, and
asked him that the miners be allowed
as many hours work in each week as the
convicts. Mr.. Nothurst replied that he
would submit the matter to the company
and do what he could. The committee
then left and Mr.. Nothurst, knowing
that a secret oath bound the organiza-
ton that had been formed some weeks
ago for purposes unknown, at once began
to suspect trouble. He went to Deputy
Warden Barton and together they began
to circulate among the miners, who were
gathering in groups, and tried to in
huence them to keep quiet. Their efforts
were of no avail.
Slowly the ominous air Of sup
pressed excitement became tinged
with open threats and promises
of destruction to the stockade as a bat
tie. At $50 o'clock a band of $50 men,
100 of them armed and fifty apparently
unarmed, advanced on the stockade. The
capture was the work of a minute. With
out undue confusion every piece of pro-
perty belonging to the Tennessee Iron
and Railroad company was carefully re-
moved to a safe distance and the con
victs who were in the stockade were led
out under guard. Then the torch vas
applied and at 0 o'clock the buildings
were a mass of flames. The min ers at
once proceeded to the mines, took pos
cession of the convicts and marched
them to the railroad station and loaded
them in box cars. Next the telegraph
wires were cut ana a guard was placed
over everything in the yards to prevent
the news getting down the mountain.
Gov. Buchanan stated that the ~convicts
would be brought to the main prison
here and kept until a new stockade could
be built, when they would be returned
as has been done at Coal Creek.
