THE IRON WORKERS
1t Is Claimed That the Employers Want to Re.
store Wages

NEW YORK, May 2.-The Iron Age
says: Producers have shown a commend
able disposition to restore wages when
they have really obtained higher figures
in their sales. But there is evident i'm
patience in labor circles and there is some
danger of series of strikes. The most
significant report which gained currency
during the past week is that a consolida-
tion is being negotiated between the lead
ing operators of the Connelsville coke re-
gion. and when effected the price will be
advanced to $l.50 for deliveries after May
l. Meanwhile the advance of $l.35 is not
being realized. asnce round quantities of
standard Connellsville coke are being Of
fered at Sl.25 and Sl.15. The New Castle
furnace strike has put little backbone in
Bessemer pig, which has sold for May de
livery in moderate quantities at $40. Steel
is very dull. Buyers in the east at least
cannot be tempted by offerings considera-
bly, below nominal quotations. In fin
ished iron and steel the advance in bars
in the west is pretty firmly established
there having been quite a good deal of
business in Chicago. The higher prices
for sheets decreed recently are not OBJ
tanned on choice orders. The best that
can be said of prices is that they are
steadier.

LAID OUT IN A MORGUE
Notorious Outlaws Brought to Time With
Bullets
Officers Kill Two Long-wanted Bandits That
Belonged to the DaIton-Doolin
Gang

GUTHRIE, o. T., May AT Spcn-
glers' undertaking house in this city lie
the bodies of two of the most notorious
desperadoes of the Dalton-Doolin gang.
The dead men stretched on two boards
alias Slaughter Kid, and Charley Pierce,
alias Dynamite Dick,
The advent of the officers with the re-
mains OF the outlaws was a complete sur
prise to the community as no one had
been apprised of the fact that the bandits
were being pursued, much less that there
had been a fight and two of them killed.
They were brought in just as they were
when killed, in full clothes with their
boots and spurs on and armed to the
teeth. Besides Winchesters each had on
a revolver apiece and belts of cartridges
for both instruments of death.
AS their clothes were cut off the bodies
it was seen that Dynamite Dick had at
least thirty buckshot, while two Winches
ter balls let the life out of Bitter Creek
Dynamite Dick was shot all over. but
mostly in the right shoulder and side,
although he had fully six shot in his
stomach, as many in one foot. One OF
his eyes was open as though he had been
in the act of taking sight along Win
chester.
One Winchester ball struck Bitter Creek
in the forehead and the other hit his
hand as he was pulling the trigger.
Marshal Mix does not want to say much
abont the killing. as the marshals who
did the work are still after other men.
The outlaws were killed aG the southeast
corner > Pawnee county at the house oi
the Dunn brothers, near Ingalls,, the old
rendezvous of the outlaws.
They were killed by Deputy Marshal
Schaffer at the head of six other mar
shals. The bandits went to Dunn house
about O'Clock last evening. 1t being
moonlight they were easily seen, and Dy-
Mantle Dick was killed outright, being
filled full of buckshot.
Bitter Creek made a fight ard two Win
chester balls knocked him off his horse
before he could pull the trigger of hi:
gun.
The two men killed are a part of the
gang that held up the Rock Island train
at Dover some time ago. They had been
chased ever since. Charles Pierce, alias
Dynamite Dick. is half brother to Tulsa
Jack. who was killed in the Cheyenne
country by Deputy Marshal Dudley
Banks. The express copmanies have big

bodies were embalmed and the express

Poll Tax.

The poll tax being now two dol

fund and being almost entirely
paid by the white race is felt, and
justly so, to be an onerous and I'M

should be reduced for this reason
and because it IS too high any way
compared with all former usage.
1t was the result of the clap-trap
policy Of cheap politicians to catch
the ignorant vote during the can
vass for the constitutional conven-
ton and the want in them and the
convention of the brave manhood
to declare for an intelligent quail
fcation, There was then and is
to-day no need for a $500 poll tax.
1t has been suggested to reduce it
to S1.00 and make it compulsory.
This cannot be legally done in this
boosted republic because there is
an express law in the BIZ Of rights
