gix hundred Men TO Return to Work
This Week.

West Superior. Wis. Aug. 1.-the
coal strike is practically settled. and
about 600 men will return to work this
week. A meeting was held yesterday
by the strikers committee, coal COM
pany managers, and city aldermen, and
an agreement entered into to declare
the strike off; the old men TO return to
work at the old wages of 40 c, nts an
hour in the hold and 17l2 cents on the
deck. The representatives of the strik-
ers ~endeavored TO secure some conces-
sions in regard TO overtime work, but
the managers refused to allow this. The
strikers as a body will probably ratify
the action of their representatives.
Nearly $50 boats destined for this port
have been unloaded at other places on
account of the strike.

The Elks Give a Grand Banquet
in the Oca7a House.

The Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks gave their second
social session last night
A grand banquet was prepared
for the seven'y five members and
guests who were present.
The dining room in the hotel
was beautifully decorated for the
occasion. Mrs. Murray supervised
the work, and displayed great tai
ent in that line. The spacious
room. when seen IL st night by a
STAR reporter, was a thing of
beauty. There was profusion of
palmetto. banana and date palms,
and festoons of Spanish moss.
The walls and Columns were liter
ally covered Wi h bunting, moss
and evergreens, with mottos on
the wall. Symbolic of the order
was a pair of huge elk horns set
on a mound of fern-covered
rock, and in the center of the din
ing table was bronze statue of
an elk.
The immense dining room, with
a seating capacity of seventY-hve,
did great credit to the chief butler,
Philip Graham. The choicest sill
yer, cut glass and china from the
hotel was used. The table was
beautifully supplied with the
me- delicate viands, wine, cake,
fruits and meats, candies, ice
cream, and everything to satisfy
the inner man. Walters who
knew their business stood ready to
anticipate every want.
After they bad all eaten and
were filled, the time was passed in
dancing strictly stag or elk

songs and music. a piano having
been provided. Geo. Mckay exc
cnted the the Highland Fling,
which was highly edlfying.

GAS GALORE.
Ocala's Latest Enterprise in Sue
cessful Operation.

In the midst of dull summer,
and when badly crippled by vari-
Gus reverses. Ocala still leads her
sister cities in increasing enter
prises that are of no small irnpor-
lance
Among the latest established in
our city is the Ocala Gas Compa-
ny, owned and operated by some
of the most prominent citizens in
the city. A little over a month
ago the works commenced opera
ton and free test was extended
to all of our business men, several
Of whom accepted it and are still
using it. The company furnishes
very bright, clear light, and one
that SO far has given universal sat
isfaction. A finer light, in fact, is
not found in any city. Several of
our citizens are using it in their
houses, both for lighting and heat
ing purposes.
The entire plant cost in the
neighborhood of $40, 900. and is of
the most modern style. It is To-
Gated near the ice factory, and
everything connected with it is
entirely new. Gas is made from
coke and oil, lime being also used
in the process, and the arrange
ment is perfect.
The promoters of this enterprise
are Geo. MacKay, President; u.
w. Davis, secretary; and among
the stockholders are u. r. Water
man. w. J. McGrath, J. V. Burke,
A H. Birdsey and others.
The entire works are in charge
of Mr.. Geo. Buser, an experienced
gas manufacturer and machinist,
who has had several years expert
ence in the largest cities in the
country. Mr.. Buser has all he can
attend to placing lights in business
houses which have ordered them.
The entire city has been laid
with mains, and it is predicted
that ere long many of our fine res
licences will be using the article
both for lighting and cooking pur-
poses.
The STAR congratu'ates the pro-
moters on starting such an enter
prise right in the midst of a dull
summer season, and bespeaks for
them the patronage it deserves.

A letter received at Nermlllion by Rev.
Mr.. Rogers, missionary of the American
Sunday School Union, from Rev. George
Harding, Tulare, Sphinx County, says:
81 am not able to tell you One-third of
the suffering among the people. Many
had no crops at all, therefore no supplies
for the winter. | can refer you to families
of from two to six and eight children WHO
have not been able to purchase a particle
of clothing since last year and many chill,
dren are nearly bare. Money is needed to
purchase fuel. | found on calling on a
family that their only provisions were po-
tatoes, nothing to burn but green willows
to keep them from freezing. This is only
a sample case. Much of the suffering will
never be known. Anything in the shape
of clothing or money will be gratefully re-
ceived."
Many who have heretofore used hay for
fuel are now compelled to find something
else, as there was no grass to cut.
The restitution in South Dakota lies
north and west of a linedrawn from Yank-

ties west the restitution is severe.

New York, Jan. 9.-Numerous in
quiries from the west reached the
banking houses today in regard to the
whereabouts Of w. w. Taylor, who, as
outgoing treasurer OF South Dakota,
has failed to appear to turn over his
office to his successor, and against
whom an alleged shortage in the state
funds is recorded. AS proprietor of a
small bank in Redfeld, Taylor did
business with the Chase National,
bank. However, his accounts with that
institution are all right, his indebted
ness being amply secured. Mr.. Cam
non said to a representative Of the AS
ISOLATED Press tonight relative to the
matter:
Mr.. Taylor was here about five
weeks ago on business connected with
the bank. l have not seen him since
and 1 have no idea where he is. Several
inquiries We're made today by inter-
eSted parties as to his whereabouts and
his standing, but We are unable to give
any information as to the former, and
regarding the latter / lay nothing
definite beyond the fact hat his credit
with the Chase National bank was we'll
secured. l do not know where Taylor
is, but I am certain that he Is not in
New York"
James NJ. Brown. a banker and broker
who resides in Brooklyn, and who is a
particular friend Of the missing ex-
state treasurer, said when seen tonight
that he had seen nothing Of Taylor for
some weeks past. He felt certain thai
TAYLOR was not in this vicinity.

Dundy- EdgcrtOn Row.

The latest development in the Dundy-
Edgerton fight and one that is going tG
cause no end of trouble. is the order of bOtE
judges for the drawing of jurors for the
Deadwoodwood term in February. Judge
Edgerton holds that Dundy, being assigned
for one term of court in his district, has nc
right to issue an order for jurors. His or
der was received by the clerk of the circuit
court about a week ago, and on the same
day an order was also received from Judge
Dundy. Clerk of the Circuit Court Fender
referred the matter to Judge Sanborn of st.
Paul, Judge of the circuit court, asking
which order he should execute. The reply
of the st. Paul judge, in brief. was to COM
ply with both orders. but not to draw more
jurors than the law permitted.
1t would be a hard matter indeed to COM
ply with the order of Judge SanbOrn, no
one at Sioux Falls being able to interpret
the full meaning. As the order now stands
both orders have been executed and twice
as many jurors us are allowed to act at Il
term of the federal court have been drawn.
The United States Marshal is placed in a
position not to be envied. When the court
cOnyencs at Deadwood but one of these
sets of jurors will receive pay. Both
judges will order jurors drawn under their
order paid. The Government will pay but
one. If United States Marshal Peemiller
refuses TO pay he will be fined for contempt
of court. This being understood by the
jurors who have already been summoned,
it is a question whether the federal court
can get sufficient men to act in the capac-
ity of jurors when there is a question as to
their nav.
