Fourth Of July.

Sometime dnring the week our
business men will be called upon to
contribute toward the expense of
having q Fourth of J uly celebrations.
People are complaining Of hard
times and some say that we ought
not to celebrate this year. The
times may be hard but the people
throughout the United States are
Just as full Of patriotism as they
were when the Declaration of indie
pendence was signed-in TACT, they
are more so-for, with our people
patriotism increases with age. The
longer they live under free govern
ment the more patriotic they he
come. All the other cities OF this
size and many much smaller are cele-
brating and it is the duty Of the
business men and citizens Of Little
Falls to see that the Fourth of July
is appropriately celebrated. There
are many here wh!, last year spent
this day where independence and
freedom OF the people are unknown.
Let them learn this year that they
live in Il county where we apprO-
priately observe the birthday of our
independence and are patriotic
enough to make a gala day Of it
although the times are hard. When
a committee waits upon YOU don't
put them off with the old chestnut
'hard tines" but give them, what
financial aid you can, even if it is
not as much as you gave last year.
The management OF the celebra-
ton is in the hands OF good COM
mittees, but they can't do anything
without money. A big celebrat ton
this year will lie Il great advertise
ment for Little Falls and every citi-
zen should do his best to make it a
success.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN ABUSED.
Brutal Work Of Deputy Marshals
and Federal Troops in Evict-
ing Tenants.

FORT SMITH, Ark, June 21.-Details
Ola horrible state Of affairs existing in
the mining region of the Indian Terri
tory has been brought to this city BY
evicted MIXERS. The stories told Of OPP
preston, hdrdships and cruelty to them
selves, their wives and children by the
deputy marshals and federal troops are
similar to those which sometimes come
from Siberia. The men say that when
It became apparent that they could not
earn living at the reduced rate Of
wages and starvation was staring them
and their, families in the face, power
was given to eject them from the COM
pany's house and the work of eviction
began. Many Of the men were thrown
bodily from their homes, their wives
and children beaten and bruised and
their furniture and personal effects de-
stroyed, after which they were loaded
into box Cars like cattle and shipped
out of the territory. The stories Of
brutality told by the men from the
Hartshorr district are -. ..-
Revolving in the Extreme.
August Smith, che of the Hartshorn
miners, says that last Thursday the
troops came to his house and arrested
him. They would not allow him to
put on his shoes and coat, and refused
to let the family eat breakfast. The
soldiers threw his furniture into a
wagon, and then asked Smiths wife if
She wanted to go.
NO. she said, IL have worked for
this home, and it leave, you will have
to shoot me-" 'The house was built by
me and belonged to me,''' said Smith,
Though had no legal title to it,
1.-The commander ordered the privates
to put my wife aud five children out.
They jumped at her, one of them pull
ing knife, and took the baby from her
breast. Then four or five took her and
dragged her and threw her head first
in the wagon. We were then carted to
the station and put in a box car
Dozens of other similar stories are told.

INCOME Z Ak NEXT.
End OF the Long Debate on Tariff
In the Senate Seems Close
#2 at Hand.
THE FREE LIST Is COMPLETED.
Administrative Features Stricken
Out Ia Order to Facilitate
+. Passage.

+, WASHINGTON, June 2l.-Very rapid
progress was made on the tariff bill
during the day. The income tax on
page ITO had been reached when the
senate adjourned. Only 81 pages Of the
bill, the income tax and internal rev.
enue features, remain undisposed Of,
and the end Of the long debate seems
close at hand. The remaining features
OF the free list. were completed during
the day without friction, both sugar
and wool, the great controversial items,
contrary to expectation, not giving rise
to debate. A yea and nay vote was de-
manded Of, striking sugar from the free
list, while the final struggle on free
wool was postponed until the bill
should be reported to the senate.
The Administrative Features
of the bill (sections % to IS inclusive)
were stricken out, as Mr.. Jones ex-
planned, in order to facilitate the pas
sage of the bill. If it Was deemed ad-
visable later to enact the proposed
administrative sections it could be done
in separate bill, he added. Mr.. ALI
son intimated that it was the wish of
the secretary Of the treasury to place
the new tariff bill in force under the
operation of the present administrative
law and if defects were found to- cor
rect them later on. The contest over
the income tax, which promises to be
extremely interesting if not sensational,
will begin in the morning. It is the
general expectation that it will occupy
at least two days.
Depends ON Senator Hill.
The duration of the debate on the in
come tax will probably depend largely
upon Senator Hill, and he has expressed
the opinion that two days time will be
sufficient to dispose Of the matter. SEN
ator Aldrich also expressed the opinion
that two days would be all the time re-
Quired for this debate There IS a dis
position on the Republican side to al
low the Democratic nem bers of the
senate to settle this question largely
among themselves, and the spea kers on
the Republican side robably will be
briefer and fewer in mum Der than has
has been expected.

IMPRISONED MANY
Fifty Miners Gut OF From ESCAPE
by q Fire in an Alabama
Colliery.
MAD DASH FOR THE OPENING.
Four Men, Including the Superin-
tendent, Suffocated by the
Smoke

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 21.A FIRE
broke out in the Mary Lee coal mine,
10 miles from here, cutting off SO men
from escape who were working in the
rear part Of the mine. The imprisoned
men made q dash for the opening, rush
ing through fire, smoke and flames.
Four of the number were taken out
dead. Their names are: James
Whalen, So perintendent of the mine;
G. W. Baskins, William Mckenzie and
an unknown white man.
The run to escape the fire was made
in the tramcars, and as soon as the
opening was reached the rescuers as
aisted the Frustrated men to the sur
face. With the exception Of the four
dead it is thought that all the rest
escaped, though some are =.
Missing and Unaccounted For.
" When it was known that the mine
was on fire the so men who were i'm
prisonei began making efforts to es-
cape. The greater part of them were
loaded into the tramcars, which were
drawn through, the flames and smoke
by means of wire cables as rapidly as
possible. Others took their chances on
making dash through the smoke.
Some got out alive, while others were
less fortunate, and fell victims to the
smoke and fire. Among the latter was
Superintendent Whalen, who was pros
trated and died just as he was brought
out. The work of rescue went on for
several hours, and by dark every man
who was alive had been taken out of
the mine,
Heartrending Scenes.
A number of physicians were at the
mouth. of the pit, as was also the entire
population of the town of Lewisturg.
Mothers wives and children were wild
with grief, and it was with the greatest
difficulty that they were restrained
from da shing into the burning mine in
an effort to rescue their loved ones. AS
rapidly as the suffocated miners were
brought out. they were taken in hand
by physicians and efforts made to re-
viye them. Four died from suffoca-
ton. The others VINO We're prostrated
will, it is thought, recover.
The fire in the mine is still raging at
furious rate. The fire department
from Birmingham has been Sent to
the place and is now fighting the flames.
