Serious Trouble Expected with the
Occur d'Alene Miners.
Boise, June 14.-An alarming state
of affairs exists in the Occur d'Alene
country. News received here today
indicates that serious trouble is likely
to break out there at any time between
the miners union and the law and Or
der men in that section, who have Or
ganized to protect laborers in their
right to work if they can secure en-
ployment, and the mineowners in the
right to employ whom they please. A
man who incurred the enmity of the
union was killed there recently, muir
dered with an ak, which was found
buried in his skull, and the coroner's
jury returned verdict of suicide.

The Durrant Trial.

Santa Rosa, Cal, June 14.-It is re-
ported here today that the famous
Durrant murder case may be tried in
the superior court here. 1t is rumored
that change of venue from the San
Francisco superior court will be asked
for ON the ground that the publicity
given the case there makes it almost
impossible to secure an impartial jury.
If the case is tried here it will not be
the first time that important cases have
been transferred from San Fracisco to
Soaoma county. The famous Cotton
railway case, the most voluminous in
the history of the state, was tried here,
as was also the famous Morrow bribery
case.

.deln FL June l4.-Ihe cOnVen-
international League of
Press C305s today adopted resolution
offered by Charles Emery Smith, of the
Philadelphia Press, urging the various
pess clubs of the league to work ener-
getically to secure from the Legislature
of the several states the passage of laws
to protect newspaper men in preserv-
ing inviolate confidential information
communicated to them in the ordinary
course of their duties.
Speaking as newspaper proprietor,
Mr.. Smith said that If he had correctly
observed the young men about him,
there was not one worthy member in
the newspaper profession who would
not rather rot in Jail than betray his
confidence.
John II. Low, of Philadelphia, offer
ed resolution relative to libel laws,
introducing it in long preamble call
ing attention to the services performed
by the newspapers of the nation as the
chief weapons of defense against official
corruption and vice, and reciting that
it has become their duty and right to
expose public scandal, maladministra-
ton of offices and violations of law, so
long as they do not in printing or vio-
lation abuse the liberty granted them.
In conclusion, the resolution calls upon
the president of the league to petition
legislatures to pass general libel law
worded as follows:
Before and suit shall be brought
for the publication of libel in any
newspaper in this state, the aggrieved
party shall, at least three days before
filing or giving the complaint in such
suit, serve notice on the publisher or
publishers of said newspaper at their
principal Office of publication, specify
ing the statements in said article which
he or they may allege to be false or de-
famatory. If it shall appear on the
trial of said action that the article was
published in good faith; that its falsity
was due to a mistake or misapprehen-
sion of the facts, and that full and
fair retraction Of any statement therein
alleged to be erroneous was published
in the next regular issue of such news
paper, or in case of daily papers, within
three days after such mistake or misap-
prehension was brought to the knowl-
edge of such publisher or publishers in
as conspicuous place and type in such
newspaper as was the article COM
planned of as libelous; then the plaintiff
in such cases shall recover any actual
damages. Provided, however, that the
provisions of this act shall not apply to
the case of any libel against any candi-
date for public Office in this state,
unless the retraction of the charge is
made editorially in conspicuous man.
ner, at least three days before election,
if such libelous article was published
in daily newspaper; if published in a
weekly paper, at least ten days before
election"
The resolution was adopted.
The convention this morning selected

His Words Verified.

About 25 years ago a certain southern
man brought a suit against the South
Carolina railroad for damages to his
property. He lost the case in the supe-
rior court, but insisted upon carrying
it to the supreme court, where he repre-.
sented his own cause. He began his ar.
gument by saying whimiscally:
MAY it please the court, there is an
old French adage which says, "A maj
who is his own lawyer hath a fool for a
CLIENT"
The next week the supreme court
pronounced its decision, which was ad,
verse to the southerner. He vas in An.
gusta at the time, but received the an.
nouncement of his second and final dis.
appointment by means Of a telegram
sent him by a prominent judge, who
was an intimate friend Of his.
The telegram read as follows: "JudG,
ment for defendant in error. French
adage affirmed by supreme court, -

S%ubsoiling or deep blowing is nearly as
effective in preventing the effects Of
drouth as irrigation itself but a very
small percentage Of farmers realize this
or, at least, do not act upon knowledge
fthey do. AS an illustration OF the value
OF subsoillng we clip the following:
William Papke, a prosperous German
farmer, living a few miles northwest Of
Mellette, S. d., tried an experiment last
fall. He plowed a patch containing
nine acres to a depth Of 10 inches. In
the spring he sowed wheat on it just the
same as on the rest OF the farm. The
result was marvellous. Although the
rainfall in that neighborhood was very
small, this field threshed u % bushels
to the acre, being over twice the acreage
OF the balance of the farm. This year he
plowed forty acres the same way.

One OF the must useful industries in
Sioux Falls Is about to be revived, the
oat meal factory. This mill did a good
business for a couple Of years putting an
excellent article of meal on the market
but the past two years has been closed
down owing to the poor quality and high
price of oats in this section rendering
the nall unable to compete with eastern
mills where oats OF a better quality
could be bought ten cents per busheI
cheaper. These conditions have now
turned in favor Of the western mill, hence
the resumption Of business.

The Aberdeen Star refers to a%success-
full church fair which raised 5000, in this
wise: The methods by which this
money was raised will hardly bear al
alysis. Among the features was a lot
terry drawing for a cash prize of $50. A
church is ~ostensibly an organization to
help people on their way to heaven; a
lottery is one Of the most insldious devi-
ces for sending people to hell ever in
vented. Money secured by such in
famous means can do no good to a
church. 1t is like the money tilched
from the pockets Of a murdered man.
The stain Of a lost soul is upon it and it
must drag the possessor down into the

Principals in q Mysterious Sioux City
Murder Located.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, Nov. 1.-THE mys-
ferrous double tragedy which occurred
iu this city early in the morning of
Aug. 25-the murder of Miss Ora Min
ter of Nebraska and Max Noak-has
been solved. The police say that they
have indisputable evidence that the
dual crime was committed by kid"
Gallagher and Alex Chaplin, who were
sentenced to the Nebraska penitentiary
for l5 years Monday at Papillon, Neb.
The crime for which they were sen up
was a murderous assault on the Kas
family, near PapiIlon, by the notorious
Vic Carthy gang. Chaplin and Gala
CHER joined the gang after leaving
Sioux City. Some time ago the Sioux
City officials went to Papillon to try to
get the men but were given positive as
surance that the men would receive
long sentence in Nebraska, so gave up
the idea of bringing them here.

There seems to be some confusion IN
the public mind as to the relations the
recent elections sustain to the senate OF
the United States. 1t will make no
changes in that body prior to the out
going Of Cleveland and his administra-
tion, barring death, or v~encancies from
some other cause, except only in the en-
bryo State OF Utah. The terms Of Sena-
tors expire March 4 Of only odd years.
The Congress which convenes for the
first time next month will go right on
through March, 1896, a through any
other month.
Some State Legislatures meet annually,
some seml-annually, and so some Sena-
torial elections will occur this next
winter and some the inter following
AS a necessary consequences, some OF
these senatorial elections will occur IN
1897.
Twenty eight senator's terms expire
in March, 1897. Only ten of these are
republicans, and noue OF them are IN
any danger of being ~supplanted by demo
Gratis or populists. Three are populists,
and of these, two, PETER and Kyle, are
sure to be succeeded by republicans,
while the other, Jones Of Nevada, will
probably be his own successor, and. 1t
may be- added, back again In the Repub-
lican party. OF the democrats, the fate
of Gibson and Brlce is sealed. Both
must surely be succeeded by republl-
cans. Blackburn will not pull through
Voorhees, is likely TO be dropped out, and
Palmer and Hill are sure to be. That
the legislatures Of Illinois and Of New
York will be republican on joint ballot
in 1897 is practically AS certain as that
the legislatures of Maryland and Ohio
will be in 1896. The same is true, very
nearly, Of Wisconsin. Colonel Villas can
entertain no hope of "a second term.
Already there are more republicans
than democrats in the senate, SO that
there is no possible chance for the senate
of the congress which will come in when
Grover Cleveland goes out to be other
than republican by a good working
majority.

Chicago Man Under Ar est for Making
Threats Against the Magnate.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE life Of George
NJ. Pullman and that Of John B. Grit.
fin, the manager of the Pullman build.
ing in this city, We're menaced by an in
zane man last night. Both men were
to have been shot and killed on or be-
fore the 10Th and 9th Of this month.
The delay Of the maniac in making up
his mind who should be the first victim
gave the police time to arrest him. The
prisoner is William Sherman, who has
been employed as a window cleaner
around the Pullman building. A
woman fortune teller is at present held
responsible for the suggestion that
placed the lives of Mr.. Pullman and his
manager in jeopardy.
: At 5 o'clock word was brought to
Manager Griffin that Sherman, usually
a steady. reliable man, was going about
the building making threats to kill him
and Mr.. Pullman. Griffin at once
started ont to find the window cleaner,
but he had left the building after re-
peating his threats to several people.
Griffin then sent word to the police and
two officers were sent out to look fo1
Sherman.
Got His Tip From a Fortune Teller.
After searching for some time they
found him in the freight elevator and
took him into custody. He had no
hesitation in declaring that he intended
to kill either Mr.. Pullman or Mr..
Griffin, or both of them. He said that
during the afternoon he had consulted
a fortune teller because he was unable
to sleep. The woman told him he was
troubled by secret enemies and that un-
less he killed them before Nov. Is OF q
they would kill him. She described the
men to him and the descriptions were
those of Mr.. Pullman and Mr.. Griffin.
The woman would not tell him the
names of the 9 unless he paid her
$25. This he declined to do, as he
knew the men by the descriptions, he
said. Sherman said that he would
have killed one of the men during the
afternoon if he could have made up hi.
mind which one t o take first. He was
plainly insane and was removed to the
detention hospital.
