SPRAGUE, Wash., July 9.-Rioting
broke out here at O'Clock this morn
ing. The train bringing home the
militia company from the encampment
from Olympia was asssiled by the mob,
which threw sticks and stones. The
train dashed through the mob and ran
into some ditched cars, battering the
engine and derailing the baggage car.
About the same time the long trestle one
mile east of town was fred. Fifteen
deputies went out on an engine and ex-
tinguished the flames after considerable
damage had been done. Still another
mob pushed car loaded with kerosene
upon a culvert mile west Of town and
fred it. Thus the train was cut off and
could neither advance or return. The
train is still tied up at sprague, but the
company and deputies are working hard
to repair the damage. Chief Deputy
Vinson has left Spokane for this point
with a special train, having on board
several deputies and number OF car
penters.
SPOKANE, July "a mob at Sprague
last night stoned the special train car
rying two companies of militia, ditched
cars in front of it and ran car OF oil on
the culvert east of town and burned it..
The trestle west of town wss also
burned. The train with the militia is
at Spragus depot with the track
destroyed on both sides. The regular
troops arrived this afternoon.

THE NEW LICENSE LAW.
1T WILL NOT CRIPPLE THE CITY
AS EXPECTED.
Tho Increased Revenue From tho Sale
of City Water Will Make Up tho
Deficiency II Proper Econ
omy Il Used.

The new merchants license ordinance
is cumbersome document. and is evil
IDENTIFY intended by the finance COM
mittee of the council to please all
classes affected by this form OF tax.
The ordinance will come up for con-
aideration at meeting of the council
which will be held on Wednesday morn
ing. The most important change is the
elimination of the merchants license
tax ON the five grades of merchandise
which in the past have been paying from
ous 90 well aa the 50 per month tax on
butchers and 81 per month on fruit
stands. Hacks are reduced from So to
81, and undertakers, who have been
paying $5 per month, are hereafter ex-
empted, as well as photograph galleries,
which have been paying 50 per month.
All lodging houses under 40 rooms will
not have to pay any license.
1t is expected that the new ordinance
will cut down the revenues of the city
$25. COO per year. On the other hand
tbs estimated receipts have increased
sl4, 900 upon the income of the water
overseer's Office. while it is fair to as
sume that the revenue from sale of wa-
ter from the outfall sewer will run $5.-
600 per year, at least. A saving of &c.
900 can be made by keeping the ex-
pensee of the street superintendent's
Office within the limits OF the ordinance,
the same now being exceeded
at the rate of $500 per month. 1t should
also be remembered that the council
paid out from $4,000 to SIS, 600 for I'm.
employed labor which will not be a
charge against the city during the COM
ing fiscal year. 1t will therefore be seen
that the council can very readily take
out the merchants license tax as pro-
vided in the new ordinance, and in no
wise cripple the city financially.

THE OK CART.

sop,~ -ssvts Concerning That laundering
but Picturesque Vehicle.
One would scarcely expect to find OK
carts made in this city, but they are
mado here by one manufacturer as a part
OF a general wagon making business.
The sale of Ok carts in this country is
decreasing. Here the use of them has
always in largo measure been confined
to the rough and hilly farms of the New
England and middle states, and even in
those states they are now giving way TO
carts and wagons drawn by horses. Old
farmers brought up to use OK carts con.
tinue to use them, but their sons do not.
The younger men buy not oxen, but
horses, not OK carts, but wagons and
horse carts. How much of this change
is due to the fact that the stony, hilly
lands are now pretty well cleared and
that oxen arc less needed for plowing,
how much is due to the spirit of the
age with its quicker movement in all
the fields CT labor, how much to great
er inclination toward luxury, it might
be difficult to say, but the OK cart is
passing away. 1t is still used, however,
to some extent. tt may be met perhaps
in the haying field, perhaps under the
spreading elms at the village black
smiths shop. The cart met amid such
surroundings is quite as likely to have
been made in the city as in tho country,
for they are all substantially alike
The only important changes that have
been made in OK carts in many wears
have been the substitution of iron for
wooden axles and the broadening of the
face Of the wheel. All OK carts are now
built with iron axles and inch tires.
New York city built OK carts are sold
in western Connecticut, in western
Massachusetts, and in New York, and
occasionally in remoter parts Of this
country. There is steady demand for
them from the planters of the West In
dies and of Central and South America.
