conkey and the Typographical Union Have
Love Feast.

CHICAGO, Dec. CIV. 3. Conkey
mas surrendered to the Typographical
anion and labor organizations in the
Fight over the worlds fair concession of
printing the fair catalogue. AT Tues
days session of the special committee
conducting the Conkey inquiry the rep
resentatiyes of the Typographical union
read communication from the union
Withdrawing all charges against Con-
key or anybody concerned in the work
Of the printing concession. A few
moments later Mr.. Conkcy himself
announced that he had signed an
agreement with the printers, which
was practically the same as the under
standing existing between the union
and the big daily newspapers. Chair
man Walker, of the committe, said he
was happy to learn the facts, but while
that ended the inquiry so far as the
labor organizations We're concerned, the
committee had yet to determine
whether the contract had been properly
let with advantage to the worlds fair
stockholders. No further evidence of
Importance was introduced and the in
QUESTION took on the form of verita-
bic love feast. The report of the in
luiring body will be submitted to the
executive committee at its regular meet

SOUTH DAKOTA NEWS.
Prospective Railroad Legislation.

CHAMBERLAIs, s. D., Dec. 2o.-Much
speculation is being INDUCED in by the
people Of this state regarding the prob
eble action of the state legislature,
which meets ut Pierre on the first Mon
lay in January, on railroad matters.
One question that is being agitated is
that the legislature pass law cora
2elling the railroad companies to
ehange their present rules rs regards
selling limited tickets. At present the
companies are selling tickets on such
conditions that if a person after buying
: ticket and travelling part of the dis
tance should alter his mind and not
hnish the trip contemplated in the time
specified he would be compelled to de-
pend wholly upon the pleasure of the
railroad officials for a return of his
money. All South Dakotans realize
that the future of their state depends
largely on the railroads, and they are
willing to do what is right by these cor
porations, but at the same time they do
not consider that the railroads have the
light to make any such ruling. On the
same lines newspaper publishers might
combine and compel buyers of their
publications to read them themselves,
but not to allow others to do So And
the same with other lines of business.
The people of South Dakota hold that
tfter they pay their money to a railroad
company for tickets, they should have
the right to use those tickets at any
time they see fit, instead of being put
to unnecessary trouble when it is inn
possible to make the trips in the brief
ss.me allowed by the railroad corpora
hons. AS an instance of the trouble
such ruling might cause, the follow
ing is of interest: NoNong ago q young
lady teacher from one of tho Indian
Hhools was taking eight or ten Indian
children from Lower Brule agency to
kantce agency school, Nebraska. AT
Mitchell she misunderstood the time
The train was to start for Scotland and
The south, her route, and came near
missing her train. Had she done SO,
herself and the Indian children would
have been compelled to remain in
Mitchell all night, and when she took
the train bound south the next day She
would have discovered that her tickets
were useless. as under the order of the
company the conductor would have had
to take them up and collect fare for tine
whole party. If she did not happen to
have enough money with her she and
the children would have had to be put
of the train, and could not continue
their journey until she had procured
more money from her home. OF course,
40 one can deny that finally she would
get her money back from the company,
but it would take the regulation red
tape to accomplish it and would put
her to trouble and Inconvenience for
which there was no necessity. This
whole matter is certain to be thor
oughly discussed in the state legisla-
ture this winter, and it is likely that
lction will be taken that will compel
fhe railroad companies to alter their
regulations in this respect.

STREET RAILWAY TRUST.
a Project Under Way in St. Louis to Control
all the Roads,

ST. Louis, Dec. as.-A project is on
foot to form street railway trust in
this city to control and operate all rail-
roads. The electric road mileage is
now very large, and ordinances author
izing the construction of over sixty
miles of additional track are now part
passed by the municipal assembly. The
Old companies have formed combina-
ton against applicants for new fran
shises. The capital of the new concern
Is estimated at $3o,ooo,ooO, and inside
parties are buying stock freely. A Chi
cago syndicate owns five of the longest
roads, and the consent of only three
other interests will be necessary for n
consolidation. One cansc OF the ANAL
yamation is the requirement in new
franchises for transfers from one road
10 another, whereas previously in many
short runs it has been necessary to pay
TWO fares.

,ANToNs MIRACLE WINDOW
'ound to Be Fraud Invented for Revenue

SHiys
CANTON, MINI, Dec. 21.-There is
not the slightest doubt of the fraud
perpetrated by some one in the 1niracu-
lous window of the little church here.
and matters nre growing so serious
that prompt action must soon be taken.
People still declare they see the picture
in the window, but to the ordinary OBJ
server there Is absolutely nothing but
a piece of very Indifferent window
glass. Nothing but the widest imagi-
nation could torture a picture from
that glass, and intelligent people arc
not slow to declare the sinister M olives
of those interested III keeping up the
fiction. Saloonkeeper Lamm is be-
licved to know all about the imposturc,
and certainly has been large beneti-
ciary of it. 1t was his little daughter
who first saw the Madonna in the glass,
and Lamm himself has been the most
industrious person in the village in sup
porting the miraculous theory.
S. r. Webb, a reputable salesman for
St Paul house, has made affidavit
that last February Lamm told him he
had arranged to nave memorial win
dow come from the the old country to
be placed in the church, but Lamm has
contradicted this statement in coun-
ter-afiidavit. The public takes its
choice and there is little hesitation in
it. 1T is believed that there was really
. picture IN the first glass, and that
that glass was Lamm's memorial WIN
dow. since removed, and certainly all
talk of n picture in the present pane is
pure bosh. Experts have viewed it and
chemically tested it and unite in pro-
nonncing the picture story Il fraud.
Archbishop Ireland is expected to in
terfere and stop the religious craze be-
fore it can go much farther. Some
action should be taken to stop the tide
OF the sick and crippled. which con-
,tinucs without abatement. though vary
ing in volume. If the archbishop
does interfere, it will be before
Christmas, as that is the day upon
which the credulous are expecting the
supreme manifestation of the divine
healing power. The St Paul road has
arranged for two extra trains each way
for Christmas, and the inns and saloons
are preparing for the expected harvest.
The crowd has thinned out somewhat
and some of the afflicted are discouraged
over the failure to obtain relief from
their autierings: but there arc stt:ll over
100 people waiting for an answer to
their prayers. The craze has extended
beyond the Catholic faith and there are
now several Methodists and Lutherans
among the guests at the hotel. Thus
far the most careful inquiry has failed
to trace one perfect cure as the result
of the prayers in the church. Partial
cures have been effected, but they were
the result of the momcntary excitement
and the disease was more marked than
ever when reaction set in.

Doomed to Die He Escapes by cleyerly
Feigning Death.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21.-A story,
showing how Chinese cunning saved
the life of Il condemned NIongolian mur-
derer, has Just leaked ont here through
a white lawyer who was interested in
the case. In November, 1889, the town
of Fresno, which is the center of the
California rasin industry, was startled
by the brutal murder of Chinese
courtesan. The woman was fearfullv
cut witn knife and All Yee Yung, the
criminal, was caught red-handed. He
was promptly convicted and sentenced
10 death. Two big Chinese companies
tried to get an appeal but failed Twice
the prisoner attempted to escape and
the second time he picked the Jail
lock and got outside. After this sec
ond attempt ehe took opium and was
found III his cell apparently nearly dead
from the drug. His face was purple
from congested blood and froth on his
lips.
The official physician labored over
him for three hours ubut finally pro-
nounccd him dead. After the inquest
next day the body was delivered to his
Chinese friends and was taken to the
celestial graveyard. There it was APP
parently buried and baked meats were
left on the grave. All zee, however,
did not die; the opium which he took
containcd some powerful drug that
threw him into Il state resern-
bling death. 1t suspended ani,na-
tion for two days. The box in which
his supposed corpse was placed was not
air tight, as his friends saw to that.
No whites went to the grave, but if
they had the fraud would not have been
discovered, as the conspirators carried
a second coffin, This was buried with
lnnors while the coffin containing All
Aec was driven to the suburbs, where
the murderer was resuscitated next
day. He was sick for several days. and
as soon as he recovered was disguised,
brought to San Francisco and shipped
TO China. There he settled among his
people and is nowaHoulishing. All Yee
