A Georgia paper tells how a
magistrate tried with rather poor
success to initiate the Judgment OF
Solomon. He was perplexed by the
conflicting claims of two women for
baby, each contending that che
was the mother of it. The Judge,
remembering Solomon. and, drawing
a bowie knife from his boot, de-
claard he would give half to each.
Tho women were shocked, but had
no doubt of the authority and pur-
pose of the Judge to make the pro
posed compromise. "Don't do that"
they both screamed in unison, "you
can keep it yourself.

MORMONS SEE STARS.
Brilliant Display OF Metcors over

salt Lake special: One of the most
brilliant meteorlc displays ever seen
in these parts occurred a few nights
ago. Persons who were in the open
air at that time were startled by the
sudden and intense illumination of the
sky east and north of this city. The
light was fairly dazzling in its splen-
dor. and those who had the good for
tune to see it were for the time being
unable TO account for the wonderful
change from darkness to a condition
that caused the stars to temporarily
lose their luster and the moor to cease
to shine. An examination of the
heavens disclosed the fact that a large
meteorlike body was shooting across
the sky from southeast to northwest
on its Journey. Vivid scintillation OF
a bright color We're sen off in all d.
rections. The nae that predominated
and outshonc all others partook OF Il

WORST OF THE WAR OVER.
PENNSYLVANIA Authorities Have
Rioters Wen in Hand.

Tniontown, Pa, special: Unless
there is a radical change in the situa-
ton in the Pennsylvania coke region
the strike of the miners and cookers Is
about broken. The authorities have
taken a stand and are determined to
put down the rioters at any cost now.
This policy has thrown the lawbreak-
ers into a state of Decentralization.
Small outbreaks occurred at several
places, but the strikers lost courage
and the mobs commenced to diminish
in size and by the time half the route
of each mob had been covered, the
forces had almost completely disband-
ed. The strikers are srill making
threats of breaking into the Jail here
and setting those imprisoned free.
The reports that Sheriff Wilhelm had
applied to Gov. PattisOn for troops are
untrue. The community was startled
by reports that the dead bodies OF
eight Huns had been found i'll the
wood, near Dawson. This report has
not yet been verified. and Coroner Bat
ton says that the reports he received
from his deputies do not Indicate the
truth of the report.
A meeting of strikers was held at
Dunbar at which great weakness was
shown, and they will not meet again
during the night. Reports received
at a late hour show that the strikers
are disbanding at every point and the
men appear to be completely subdncd.
