Life Doesn't Trouble Him.
 CHICAGO, July 20--Tho federal grand jury returned 23 indictments in Judge Seaman's court and was discharged. In tho 23 indi: tments were included tho names of about 75 individuals, who aro charged with violating the federal statutes during the railroad troubles of the last three weeks
 District Attorney Milchrist refused to give the names of any of the indicted persons, admitting, however, that there wero several new indictments against Debs, Howard, Keliher and Rogers, the chief officers of the American Railway union. Included in some of the indict- ments also are other officers of the organi- Eation who have not been 90 prominent as the four now in the county jail. The others who go to make up the 75 are strik- CTS against whom are charged specific nets of interference with trains or othor property of the companies.
 Debs and the other officers are in nearly hll of the g indictments. Whenever the grand jury concluded to present batch of rioters who committed specific acts, such as tho dcrailing of trains, Dcbs and his companions were named with them as conspirators.
 In addition to that there Is m indiet-
 
 Howard charging thom with conspiracy to deprive a citizen of the United States of one of his constitutional rights-that Is, the right to ship goods from one state to another.
 Mir. Milchrist said the question as to whether Debs and the other officers will be compelled to give bail on each separate indictment has not been settled, but will Do after tho bench warrants are issued REN1 fr1u NA returned against railroad officials because no information was given against them.
 RepudIates the scab Notice.
 Eugene Dcbs said in an interview: ''The following notice Is alleged to be posted in various parts of the stockyards: [" A. R. U.-To Whom It May Concern:
 At meeting held by the American Railway union at Corcoran's hall the fol- lowing resolution was unanimously adopt hdi
 a Resolved, That all men continuing in the employ of the railroad departments of the Union Stockyards and Transit com- pany, Armour & Co, Swift SS Co, Nor ris & Co, the Burton Stock Car company, tho Street Stable Car company, the Cana da Cattle Car copmany and other indus tries in the vicinity of the stockyards where railroad men arc employed at 6 D. m., Wednesday. July Is, 1894, will be forever branded as scabs and treated as such
 II need hardly say that tho above, so far as the officers of the American Rail way union arc concerned, is n forgery. Of course no such notice was issued or ap- proved by us Nor have we any knowledge as to how, when or by whom this notice was authorized or posted. Tho first in formation we had on the subject was when it was brought to our notice in the daily papers.
 This Is fair sample of the methods that have been employed to poison tho public mind against the strike and those officially connected herewith. The most fragrant falsehoods have passed current for the truth.
 For instance, few days ago story was published to the effect that Mrs. HiginbOtham was seriously i'll in Montana and not expected to live, and that Mir Higinbotham had appealed to me to allow the dying wife to be brought home to sec her friends for the last time by special train; that in brutal manner declared that not q wheel should turn. This base and heartless falsehood has been widely circulated and has done incalculable dam age to innocent men.
