The Wool Growers Get Good Prices
for Their Clips Under the New Tariff
Wheeling, W. Va, Sept 9.-(Special)
The good effects of the new tariff
bill on the wool market are coming
more rapidly than even it's most
hearty supporters had dared to wish.
The Wheeling Register, through its
special correspondents in eastern Ohio,
West Virginia. and western PennSyl-
vania, has made inquiry concerning
prices and demands, and the result
has been far more than satisfactory
to the friends of the free wool meas
llre. The correspondent at Woods
field, O., the center of a large wool
raising country, represented in con-
gress by A. J. Pearson, whose place
was ieopardized by his vote for free
wool, reports that Alexander Harmon
sold 10000 pounds of wool within
week at 90 cents, and was offered as
much for the remainder Of his clip.
This he refused, believing he can do
better before the first of the year.
Clint & Pfalzgraff, also OF Monroe
county, have sold their wool within a
week at % cents, it being a less de-
sirable clip than that of Harmon.
Miller & Co. of Beallsville, o., are
offering 20 and p cents, but are get
ting no wool The wool men are set
against anything short of % cents.
The report from Washington, Pa, is
that washed wool is selling and has
, been for a week at 20 and 81 cents
Markell & Co. of Monongahela, are of
fering and have instructed their coun-
try agents to take up $4,000 pounds
at from 20 to % cents, according to
grade. Several instances where wool
has sold in the West Virginia pam
handle at from 20 to % cents are re
ported Lost of the wool buyers are
republicans and the fairy stories they
have told wool raisers within the past
three months are remarkable. They
have used every means to bulldOze

SUGAR PLANTERS KICK.
Call on the Court to Compel Contin-
uance of the Mckinley Act.

Washington, Sept. 2O.-The Miles
planting and manufacturing company,
of Louisiana, engaged in planting and
growing sugar cane, yesterday after
noon applied to Judge McCOmas, of
the district court, for a mandamus
against the secretary of the treasury
and the commissioner Of internal reve-
nue. to compel them TO continue the in
spection of sugar plantations required
by the Mckinley sugar bounty law.
The petitioners state that inspection OF
their plant was refused by the treas
ury officials On the ground that the
lately enacted tariff law annulled and
rescinded the granting of bounty to
sugar producers. That the tariff ,act
does so operate the petitioners deny.
Judge McComas directed that Secre-
tary Carlisle be required to show
cause, on October 4th, why man
damus should not be issued.

BERLIN special: Sensational develop
ments are promised in the trial Of Herr
Delacroix, the rich Berlin manutac-
turer, who killed DR.. Karl Roemer in
duel few days ago. 1t appears that
the woman in the case is DelacrOix's
wife, who became enamored with Roe
mer a few years ago. When Della.
croix learned of her affection for Roe
mer he abused the doctor. Roemer
challenged Delacroix, but the latter
refused to fight Soon afterward Roe
mer went with Major Wissmann to
Africa. Delacroix in the meantime
Practiced constantly with pistols. and
his wife once remarked to a friend that
she was certain her husband meant to
kill Roemer. When Roemer returned
from Africa Delacroix again insultei
him, and the doctor renewed his chal-
lenge, which Delacroix accepted. Sew
eral shots were exchanged. The sec
onds vainly tried to effect a reconcil-
iatiOn after each shot.

DELAY IN COURT WORK.
A South Dakota Law that Leaves Cour

A south Dakota Law that Leaves Coun-
ties Short of Jurles.
THE trial f Hart and Hatten for
their connections with the Farmers
and Merchants Bank, which failed at
Plankington last summer, was set for
the February term OF court in Hansen
County, the defendants having se-
curvd change of venue to that cOun-
ty. It is now likely that the trial be
held several months later than gener-
ally expected on account OF little diff
ticulty that has arose. Last winter the
Legislature passed law, the bill be-
ing introduced by A. F. Herrick OF
Aurora County, amending the law re-
lating to the drawing and summoning
of grand and petit jurors. The new
law provides that only at regular meet
ings Of the Township Boards can the
list OF Jurors be sent to the clerk OF
court The law was enacted to cut
down the expense OF special meetings
for this purpose. Since the special or
adjourned term OF court Of Hansen
County to try Frank Phelps, there has
been no regular meeting Of the Town
ship Boards, and consequently the
names Of the jurors drawn out of the
box In this trial have not been re-
placed, leaving the box short OF the
required number Of Names 1t would
look from this that the trials Of Hart
and Hatten will have to 90 over until
after the regular meeting Of the
Township Boards, which, 1t il under-
stood, occurs in April. The next reg
ular term Of court for Aurora County,
the first Tuesday In March, will have
to 60 over for the same reason. It is
strange circumstance that Legislator
Herrick, ono OF the victims OF the
bank failure, should be the instrument
in extending and prolonging the trial
OF the men charged with wrecLlng the
bank.

TALK OF USING DYNAMITE,
Black His Miners Indulge In Some Ugly
Threats,

Threats.
The labor troubles in the Black Hills
are assuming u serious phase. The
riot Of last week on the Annie Creek
was the outgrowth of an agitation of
the wage question For many years
the lowest pay for the men in the mines
and mills has been $3.50 per day. The
Homestake Company. the largest pro-
miners union that it would reduce
their wages to S3 a day or entirely sus-
pend operations, and gave the miners
a week to decide whether they desired
to work on the lower scale or quit.
Matters between the Homestake Com
pany. which employs some $500 men,
and the union are still pending. The
business men OF Deadwood and Lead
City adopted resolutions condemning
the action of the miners in assaulting
tho laborers last week on the Annie
Creek.
In retaliation, the miners of Lead
City, Central City, and surrounding
camps held a mass meeting in Central
City. Resolutions were adopted de-
nouncing the Deadwood Business Mems
Protective Association. The lainern
present at the meeting pledged them
selves to boycott all Deadwood business
houses and to do all in their power to
injure all Deadwood enterprises, and
to make every effort to have the county
seat removed, either by state authority
or dynamite.
Tho citizens OF Deadwood held a
mass meeting relative to the matter.
The question is becoming very threat
ening and serious results are feared.
