COLUMBUS, o., June s.-Supt. Pea
body of the Baltimore e Ohio Railroad
Co., received notice yesterday from the
strikers at st. Clairsville to move coal
train sidetracked there, or they would
burn it. Col. Peabody replied that he
would move it westward, but this the
strikers would not allow. The railway
company is determined not to yield,
and it is feared tie trains will be
burned.
A report that there had been col
lision between troops and strikers at
Cambridge with several soldiers killed,
created great excitement here at noon,
but was quickly denied by the military
authorities. A detachment of militia
has been detailed by the governor to
guard the state arsenal here.

terday afternoon that the rioting min
ers at Mineral Point, Guernsey county,
fell back at the approach of the troops
and, relinquishing the railway, took
up position upon a neighboring hill
where they will not be molested I'M
less they commit some unlawful act.
The trains were moved, the first in
three days. Gov. Mckinley ordered
Gen. Howe to leave sufficient force to
hold these rioters in control, and with
the rest report at once to the sheriff o
Belmont county.
A special from Cambridge yesterday
afternoon says the rioting miners there
have congregated on hill, and are
preparing to resist the militia. They
have raised a red flag, and the militia
is preparing to move on the hill. A
part of the troops will probably go to
GAINESVILLE, where the miners have be-

The Chicago Tribune speaks OF

The Chicago Tribune speaks OF
the shortage in the governments rev.
enues as a condensed statement of
ten months of unauthorized de-
mocracy." But that is just where the
Tribune makes it's mistake. The de-
Inacracy of the country for she past
ten months has been a good deal adul-
terated, notably by republican fill
busters, who stand in the way of demo-
cratic reforms which would give tho
country sufficient revenues-Detrxit
Free Press.
There doesn't seem to be any
difference OF opinion among business
men, whether they belong to one party
or another, as to the necessity Of
speedy action in the senate 0n the
pending tariff bill. It is pity that
republican senators should not in this
respect reflect the win of their con-
stitnencies. The whole country from
the Atlantic to the Pacific is sick and
tired of delny.-Philadelphia Record

amount SO returned being s64 $500.
The motion being put Messrs. Hammond
and Watson voted aye. Mr.. Harmon nay.
The motion prevailed.
The following motion was made by
Mr.. Harmon. who moved it's adoption:
Whereas. 1t has come to the knowl-
edge of the Board OF County Commits
sioners Of Custer County. Montana, sitt-
ing as Board of Equalization, through
communication made by the State Board
o, uGlization to the Clerk of this
Board. that the said State Board of
Equalization has by order increased the
valuation OF cattle in Custer County,
.032 per cent and horses of said county
| .1SS per cent for the year 1885,; therefore
be it,
Resolved. BY this Board, that in the
estimation and opinion of this Board
such increase is wholly unjust to the
stock owners and taxpayers of Custer
/ County. and this Board desires TO state
I to the Honorable State Board Of Equa
+ lization. that while stock cattle were
assessed by the Assessor in the County
of Custer for the year 1894 at lsl6.uO)
sixteen dollars per head. it is represented
/ to this Board, on sufficient evidence.
which the Board wholly credits and now
believes, that such assessment was too
high, and that the same ought TO be IN
the matter Of equalization decreased in
stead of increased. This Board has
abundant evidence now before il that
sales of cattle have been made in this
County during the current three months
past at sl450 to sl600 per head. to be
delivered by the seller. The highest
price obtained for any cattle sold IN this
County. 80 far as the evidence appears
before this Board. is el6.00 per head, and
the lowest price that has been given Is
sli.50, the seller in every case to gather
and deliver the cattle, the cost Of which
according to the evidence before this
Board. is from 500 TO $500 per head
These are the prices FOR which cattle
have been sold in Custer county this
season. In no Case has this Board been
informed OF any sale higher than SlG.N
per head, and to this price, az before
stated is attached the condition. the sci
Ter delivering the cattle al the cost as
above stated, SO that this Board is en-
tirely convinced that the assessment of
sl6.U0 as made 10y the assessor OF this
county is too high, and that such as
sessment ought to be reduced rather
than increased. In relation to the mat
ter Of horses. this Board can state TO the
State Board OF Equalization. what il
perhaps generally known. that there IL
almost no sale at all for horses in this
section Of the state. at any price; such
stock almost literally has no marketable
value al all.
In view Of these facts. this Board re
spectfully request the Honorable State
Board OF Equalization not to increase the
valuation on either cattle or horses IN
this county. but to al least leave tn,
valuation OF such property where IT wa:
J placed by the assessor OF the county
which. IN the judgment Of this Board
as already stated, Was too high.

Rack Of Accommodations In the Green
room and Behind oie Scenes.


The janitor has an important bearing
en the actors condition, which finds its
oppression is his playing and possibly
on his nervous organization. He sup
plies the house and in most cases fur
nishes quarters for the actors such as no
self respecting slave owner would in
the old days have condemned a slave 20
occupy.
For the public nothing is too good.
For the actor, ON the other hand, any
thing is good enough. Instead of silken
draperies, he finds only tattered cur
tain at the window, if indeed he find
. curtain at all, or even a window
which it might cover. Instead of soft
comfortable chairs one OGDEN chair

The washing appl nces of the actors

consist Of a small basin with a tap of

pect that, as the winter is the theatrical
season and the paints used by the &C
torn are made with grease, hot water
would be at hand. But this is rarely
the case, and in many instances running
water in the dressing rooms is unknown.
IL is not uncommon for actors to refrain
from using the basins, preferring to re-
move the makeup as well as possible
with vaseline and to wait until the
