WESTERN HOSPITALITY.
Senator Warren Tells the Eastern Peo-
pie About 1t.

In a talk about western hospitality
the other day Senator Warren of Wy
oming said: Why, l would regard it
as n personal insult if l went to a
house on any ranch and found the door
locked. The first impulse of the aver
age western man on such an occasion
would be to break the door down"
But how about locking up when the
inmates go away" The senator
laughed. 1T would make no difference
at all" he said. I'VE all go on the gen
eral superstition that a mar travelling
through the country is hungry. II he
has any food in his haversack, and
finds nobody at home. he goes in the
house, takes possession Of the kitchen,
and cooks his meal. If he has nothing
he helps himself to what he can find.
He does 1t as a matter of course, and
the family would feel that he was
worse than a dude II he declined to
share with them even the smallest bit
Of food that they happened to have in
store."-New York Tribune.

The riot bell rang from the fire en-

the same moment Governor Bradley
ordered out the militia. Ten minutes
later the McCreary guards, so strong,
Captain Noel Gaines, were In posses

law was proclaimed. Until today Gov
ernor Bradley had persiStently refused
to call out the militia, though urged to
do so by citizens irrespective of party.
The Blackburn leaders, he was in
formed, had been preparing all day to
take forcible possession of the state
house tomorrow. Threats were made
that the senate would arrest the COVER

thority in giving the instructions he
gave last night to the sheriff of Frank
lin county, to clear the corridors and
cloak rooms
All trains today brought in rein
forcements for the men bent on mis-
chief tomorrow. 1t was only at the
last moment when the presence of
these crowds presaged serious danger
that the governor yielded to repeated
requests of orderly citizens of both
parties and called out the militia.
The sergeant-at-arms, Mr.. Somers,
had sworn in Jack Chinn, Jim Will
liams, Eph Lillard and other desperate
men as his deputies. 1t was reported
to the governor by numerous affidavits
that armed men had been collecting in
the capitol for two or three days with a
view of taking charge of the joint as

Lexington and the Louisville Legion,
800 strong, will arrive early in the

Boulder, Colorado, March l5.-HIrry
Upton. aged 10 years, was run Owe by
a freight train in Boulder at 3:45 his
afternoon. AS the train came along
Harry made a grab at the ladder hat
the train was going too fast. He
slipped, lost his hold, and fell between
two cars in such a way as to cause his
right arm to be partially on the track.
The next car caught him a little be-
low the shoulder, running off agair be-
low the elbow. The arm was SO badly
crushed and the shoulder so ball,
bruised that the bone was takep,ott
of the socket at the shoulder and the
flesh trimmed off ear by.
All that can be done to save the boy.

chances seem against his being able to
survive the shock and the loss of blood.

changing cars at Ell Reno. upon a swift
horse and thus make his escape. two

had been in training at the state fair
grounds in this city by two mysterious
strangers. and disappeared the night
before Raider was to go to Enid Mar

plot to head off the guards before they
arrived at Ell Reno and bring Raider
back in irons. Raider is wanted on
various charges and nearly $4,000 re-
ward is on his head. He is a small,
quiet looking man, but his nerve can
be judged from the fact hat at one
time, when engaged in a battle. three
of his fingers were mangled by a bullet.
and he took out his pocket knife, cut
off the fingers and threw them away as
he was riding off.

Havana. March IA terrible mis-
take has resulted in the killing Of a
number of Spanish soldiers ~ their
fellow Spaniat1s.
The battalion of San Quentin was
approaching the town of Cano, seven
miles from Havana. to save the build
ings of a burning plantation. The
town shortly before hat had been at
rison, without hailing the San Quentin
battalion and taking them for the in
surgents returned to a second attack,
opened upon them with volieys.
The San Quentin battalion, on the
other hand. mistook the garrison for
the insurgents and charged three times
with great determination. taking the
town.
The blasts from the cornet and the
cries of viva Espana." on the part of
the San Quentin soldiers were not suf-
ficicnt to put a stop to the firing on
either side. Before the mistake was
discovered the San Quentin battalion
had lost ~ soldiers killed and a cap
tain, four ]lieutenants and 81 soldiers
wounded.
This episode was pointed to as a
proof that the Spanish soldiers fight
well if they have occasion to do so. The
San Quentin battalion sustained more
loss in a few minutes than they would
have done in a great engagement with
The insurgents.
Antonio Maceo. Bandera and La
Cret attacked the town of Batabano on
Friday night and an obstinate fight en-
sued. The garrison of the forts, con-
sisting of Sc men. made a heroic de-
tense and two Spanish gunboats in the
neighboring waters assisted by BON
harding the insurgents. The utmost
efforts OF the Spaniards, however, did
not avail to prevent the insurgents
capturing the town. They had posses
sion of it for a time and upon retreat
ing in the direction of Pinar del Rio
they burned the greater part of the
town. The insurgents are reported t.
have sustained great loss.

They were pursued and were over

making further resistance they re-
treated, leaving three killed.
At San Vincente four incendiaries
have been imprisoned.
At Matanzas four political suspects
have beer set at liberty.
Enrique Macho, a former insurgeni

81. LOTIS DISASTER.

A season made memorable by disas-
tiers of every sort reaches its climax
in the calamity that overlook the city
of st. Louis yesterday afternoon. The
people in the Mississippi Valley are
the victims of an experience that is dire
indeed; the city of st. Louis offered it
self as an especially tempting prey to
the angry elements; the havoc
wrought there. with the loss in life
and property, threatens to reach a to-
tai surprising the distressing results
of recent cyclones in that region.
Before 8 o'clock last night. telegraph
bulletins gave warning of startling
news from st. Louis. Hours elapsed
before any details were received. The
city was in confusion; the dead and
the dying demanded immediate atten-
tion confiagration was threatened;
the people of the city stood in the
presence of a calamity as sudden as 1t
was sweeping; the telegraph service

ing fifth in population in the United
States was cut off from communication
with the outside world.
AS the night wore on, the relative
helplessness of the facilities which are
usually prompt and efficient for the
transmission of news became apparent.
Soon after midnight the Western
Union Telegraph company was COM
PEELED to wire to the country it's in
ability to send details from st. Louis,
owing to the hopeless tangle in its
service as the result of the storm. At
an early hour this morning came the
startling news of doomed towns along
the cyclones track.
The public Is compelled to satisfy it
self this morning with relatively
meagre Information. Enough is re-
ceived. however. to warrant the fear
that a narrowing story of disaster has
been made up and that the city of st.
Louis has passed through an expert

Assembled at Pittsburg in a national

question was at the bottom OF the
