MADE A WATERFALL.

Safe Blowers Make q Raid on Reichcft's
Mill at Freeburg, In.-Watchman Field
Brutally Beaten and Cut, Gagged and
Bound to Chair-The Robbers allow the
Safe But Fail to Get at the Cash and
Escape with Nothing for Their Pains.
ST. LOUIS, April Three men tried
to blow the safe at Reichert's mill,
Freeburg, ILL.,, several miles southeast
of Belleville, and half murdered the
Waterman, Barney Field, about mid
night.
The poor fellow was surprised by
the robbers who stole up to the door OF
the office, broke it in and attacked him
with clubs and knives.
About 81, 900 was in the safe, but the
blowers failed to get it open.
FIELDS story is that about 1850 he
heard a slight noise outside the door.
He Investigated, but saw nothing.
About 1850, without warning, the
door suddenly gave way with a terrific
crash, and three men in their stocking
feet entered. One was masked, the
others faces were uncovered.
Before the Waterman could rise from
his seat he was felled to the floor by a
blow from club. and as he lay pros
trate the robbers beat and cut him in
a frightful manner.
When he had become insensible they
gagged him and bound him in a chair.
Then they turned their attention to the
safe.
A hole was drilled in the lock, pow
der inserted and touched off. The Of
flee clock stopped at 1:3O and it is pre-
sumed the first explosion took place
then. 1t was unsuccessful.
The ''blowers" worked until 4 a. M,
and then gave no. They succeeded in
running the safe, but not in opening it.
They departed, venting their wrath
in curses on the Waterman who lay
moaning and half unconscious in the
chair.
When one of the millers went down
about o'clock, terrible spectacle
met his gaze. In the middle of the
floor, in a big pool of blood lay the
Waterman. He had overturned the
chair in his struggle to get free, and
had fallen on his face in the blood.
The walls and floor were streaked
with the crimson fluid. The office
furniture was turned topsy turvey, the
door of the office forced from it's hinges
lay upon the floor and there was every
evidence of a terrible struggle.
A doctor was summoned, who dressed
the I'M ured mans wounds and pro-
nounced them dangerous.
FIELDS skull is said to be fractured
and he has seven long knife wounds on
his head.
No definite clew to the perpetra tors
of the deed has been discovered, but it
is surmised that TIE party hail from
this city,

iABOR'S VICTORY.

What Organized Capital May Lawfully
Do May Also he Done by Organized La
bor-There Is No Law for the One That
Is Not Equally Applicable to the Other
A Fearless Judges Decision in the Union
Pacific Wage Controversy.
OMAHA, Neb., April 6.-The greatest
victory ever won in this country by or
ganized labor was recorded yesterday
when Judge Caldwell, sitting in the
United States court. handed down his
decision in the famous Union Pacific
wage schedule controversy. Fore
most in the opinion is the statement:
"a corporation is orga nized capital.
1t is capital consisting of money and
property. Organized labor is organ
lied capital. 1t is capital consisting of
brains and muscle. What is lawful
for one to do is lawful for the other
to do. 1t is lawful for the stock
holders and officers of corpora
ton to associate and confer to-
gether for the purpose of reducing
the wages of its employees. 1t is
equally lawful for organized labor to
associate. consult and confer with a
view to maintain or increase wages.
The action of both is lawful when no il
legal or criminal means are used or
threatened"
When the decision was being read
the court room was filled with the in
terested parties. At its conclusion
there was an oppressive silence, which
was broken only by the voice of the
marshal announcing a recess. AS the
jurist left the bench the leaders on
both sides shook hands with him
thanking him for the decision. The
judge remarked that no thanks were
necessary, as he had only done his
duty without fear or favor, and the
path was well blazed. All he had to
do was to reiterate principles which
had been laid down from the begin
ming.
Judge Caldwell became impatient
when Judge CAN'T, attorney for the
men, asked the court to fix the eX-
pense account of the men. The court
said the attorney ought to be ashamed
of himself. and turning to General
Manager Dickinson, said he could ar
range the matter. The opinion is
far-reaching, continuing in force
the present rules and regula-
tions governing the men, except
where the organizations agreed to
modify the overtime features of the
schedules. 1t modifes the orders of
Judges Dundy, Riner and Hallet on the
wage case, lays down principles of ar
bitration, and is in direct opposition to
the opinion ot Judge Jenkins in the
Northern Pacific wage case.

NATIVE SAMOAN CHIEFS
Found Guilty of Spreading Rebellion and
acknowledgements Would be a
Big Task.

Found Guilty of Spreading Rebellion and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Would be a
Big Task.
LONDON, April GA dispatch from
Berlin to the Daily News says that pri-
vate advices received there from Sa-
moa are that seventeen chiefs We're
summoned before Chief Justice Ide
and obliged to withdraw all their
complaints against the government.
The chiefs, however stuck to their pro-
test against the disarming of the ma
tives, which they strongly resented.
The government specially accused
ALPHA and other chiefs of the Aana
tribe of spreading rebellion, but this
was denied by natives.
The trial of the accused chiefs ended
on February =. On February the
court pronounced sentence of two
years imprisonment at hard labor
against ALPHA and imposed fines rang
ing from $500 to 500 against the other
chiefs. 1t was ordered that all those
condemned to pay fines should be de-
tanned until the judgments against
them were satisfied.
The advices show that the latest dis
turbances were caused by Chief Fee
sano, of Atna, who melted the Aana
and Aana people to fight against the
government. An attempt was made to
arrest Feesano, but this proved fruit
less, as the other chiefs refused to sur
render him. A large number of men,
of-war would be needed to compel
obedience of the order for the disarma-
ment of the natives, therefore compli-
ance is considered as somewhat remote.

COOKING MEATS.

How to Obtain the Best and Most APP.
petizing Results.
How shall we dress meats. to yield
the highest nutritive results and en-
joyment?
The most primitive forms of cooking
are the methods still most generally
practiced. Broiling, roasting and boil
ing are to-day the commonest ways of
dressing meats for food; but between
the manipulation of the crude house
keeper and that of the thoughtful
housewife whose eye, hand and nose
have been trained to understand that
heat means variations of temperature
and not merely "a fire." there is a
broad gap.
The first lesson of the cooking school
is necessarily the care and management
of the stove.
One woman will boil her corn beef
in water at two hundred and twelve,
it's maximum temperature, while she
whose observation has been cultivated
to study effects, obtains better results
at one hundred and eighty. The for
mer wastes part of the gelatine and
albumen, while her rival has learned
that as albumen coagulates at the low

ours and the meat is not toughened.
On the same principle of action the
gas stove and the charcoal fire are so
perfectly controlled that the broiling
of steaks, chops and sausages may be
accomplished with the least loss of
fat and the best result in the work.
The frying pan requires perhaps
more skin than any other utensil of the
kitchen since control Of heat is every
thing. For veal eatlets, sweetbreads.
calves LAYER and other delicate cook
ing, the proper degree of heat to cook
through the flesh and to give the right
tint of color are of primary Importance.
No less Important is it that heat be
moderate in it's action on the egg and
bread crumbs coating the outlets, since
if the temperature be too high our
savory dressing of the outlet will be
toughened and Hndigestibla.
The, stew, hash and meat pie call for
quite as much, if not mere, Judgment
aud skill than the other methods of
cooking.
Stewing must be conducted slcauly,
and ON the same general plan as boil
ing. The stew may he made the, most
