What Trade Unions Do.

One Of the ablest and most energetic
upholders of the principles Of trade
unions is the Cigar Makers Official
Journal. There Is never a number of
that journal that fails to contain some
good, strong, Observation-Disclosures
argument in favor of the trade union
movement. This is typical Of the Cigar
Makers union, whose members swear
by their organization despite all dis
Couragements.
Here are few trade union para
graphs from the December number Of
the Journal:
The foremost duty Of the trade union
movement is organization as long as
there Is a non-unionist still outside the
fold.
Raising wages enables the wealth pro-
dicer to enjoy some of the wealth he
creates and to spend part of that which
he earns, instead of allowing the en-
ployer to have it all.
Shortening the hours OF labor length
ems the years of life and gives the work
man an opportunity to cultivate the
acquaintance of his family and to see

Trade unions not only enable the
worker to ENJOY natural rights long with
held, but they are constantly creating
new rights. They are wonderful lever
in abollshing wrongs and injustice that
have been the lot of labor since time and
history is recorded.
Trade unions are rapidly breaking
down the foolish sectional and class
interest that formerly divided the work
ers, until now the skilled union me-
chanic no longer feels himself above
his unskilled fellow worker who Is en-
ployed in the humblest calling.
Trade unions instill spirit of inde-
pendence and solidarity into wage-earn-
ers that could not otherwise be obtained.

INDIAN MASSACRE.
SIX PERSONS LOSE THEIR LIVES
IN NORTH DAKOTA.
Doubtless the Result of a Mixture of
Bad Indian and Worse Whisky
A Most Horrible Tragedy.

Winona, n. D., Feb. 1S.-The bodies of
Rev. Thomas Spicer and wife, their
daughter. Mrs. William Rouse, with her
one-year-old twin boys, and Mrs. Wal
dron, mother of Postmaster Waldron,
were found on the Spicer plantation near
here today. All We're horribly mutIiated
and the tragedy is supposed to have been
the work of Indians from the Standing
Rock Indian reservation.
The bodies were found scattered all
over the ranch. indicating that the
victims had fled from their assassns.
The condition of the bodies leads to the
belief that the work was done by Indians
and the suspicion is strengthened by the
fact that one Indian was seen near the
ranch shortly after daylight yesterday.
The bodies all bear marks of clubs and
knives, weapons which the Indians are
known to have in their possession. The
Standing Rock reservation is but a few
miles west of here. and it is supposed
that party of Indians got away and, in
famed by bad whisky, descended upon
the ranch in the night and murdered all
the occupants. The Indians could have
committed the crime and made Their way
back to the reservation during the night
There is much excitement here over the
discovery and the government inspector
at the reservation will be called upon to-
morrow to investigate the affair
The bodies were discovered by Walter
Smith, a farm hand, who reported it to
the authorities here. The bodies We're
brought to this city this evening. and
an inquest will be held in the morning.

WILL LET THE CONTRACT.
No Doubt the Salt Lake and Los
Angeles Want Ties.

Colonel Nephi W. Clayton, general
manager of the Salt Lake & Los An
geles, viii probably not return from
the east for a month Advices from
him indicate some delay in his pro-
gramme, which Will detain him beyond
the time when it was expected he
would be in the local field again.
Meantime the awards for bids on 100-
900 ties will not await the colonel. Cen
eral Passenger Agent l. w. Clayton
anticipates an order from the colonel
today, by wire, instructing him to
open the bids and make an award to
the lowest and most responsible bid
der. The actual announcement of the
letting of the contract viii prove an
incentive to other railways that are
watching any move toward the Deep
Creek region, many other reports TO
the contrary. Some railroad men who
are active to the meaning of things
are predicting that the Salt Lake &
Los Angeles Will never let the con-
tract, or if that road does. there will
be q string to it, delaying the delivery
of the ties. Others say that they be-
heve the contract is no bluff, but that
the ties viii be delivered, but nothing
beyond that point. They say it is the
easiest thing in the world to deliver
ties
Notwithstanding the comments in
circulation, the Salt Lake & Los An
geles management is saving wood:
that is the ties are going to be de-
liveTed, providing Colonel ClaytOn's
negotiations in the east are favOra BILE
and reports from that quarter of the
compass indicate the very Droba BILE

Miss Carrie Jewell Enters a Convent,
and Then Gives Up a Fortune
She Is Now at st. Joseph, Mo.

st. Louis, Feb. 1S-Miss Carrie Jew
ell, who was once popular in New
York society circles, recently aban-
doned the world and became a sister
OF the Order of the Sacred Heart of the
Catholic church. She was the favorite
of several nieces of the late Frederick
K Taylor, of New York, who left a
great part of his large fortune to char
ity, and the rest was to be divided be
tween his sisters daughters. Mr.. Tay-
lor's will was written seven years ago,
and when it was probated few days
ago, this clause caused the executor to
make inquiry for Miss Carrie Jewell.
"One of my nieces has embraced the
Catholic faith, and is soon to become
sister of the Order of the Sacred
Heart. l have no desire to disinherit
her on account of her adopted faith.
but l do not desire to leave her any
sum which might, on account of her
connection with sacred orders, eventu-
ally revert to the Roman Catholic
church. Therefore, should she not be-
come a sister, and should she sever
her contract with that religious order.
then a sum of $4,000. which is to be
set aside by my executors. is TO be held
for her in trust and the income paid
to her.
Soon after Miss JEWELS admission to
the order, she left for New York and
was sent to the Marysville convent in
South St. Louis. She remained there
for several months, and last week was
transferred to the Sacred Heart con-
vent at St. Joseph, Mo, where she now
is. Mother Lyons, the superior at
Marysville convent, said the young
woman was accomplished, and a credit
to the order Miss Jewell insisted that
her uncle had no right to cut her off
from a share in the property, for. in
fact, it was not all his, but the bulk of
his fortune had been made out of funds
and really left in trust TO him by Miss
JEWELS mother She said she cared
nothing for the property, however. un-
less she could devote it to the promo
ton of the church.

the entrance to the jetties an unfore-
seen trouble arose. The cutter and its
train of pleasure craft ran full into a

picked up in the mist Admiral Bunce
received a summons from the secretary
and came alongside in his cutter. The

OVERTURNED THEM.
House Decides That Its Elections
Committee Was Wrong.


Washington. Feb. 1S.-In the contested
case of Hopkins (Rep.) VS.. Kendall
tDe-n) from the Tenth Kentucky dis
trict. the house today, for the first time
TINS session on a direct issue of fact, re-
VerSed the decision of its committee on
elections and seated a contestant whom
the committee had declared not elected.
The case turned upon the action of the
county clerk of Clark county, Ken. who.
without proper authority. had substituted
what was called in the debate IAN odiOus
thieving coon," on the official ballots in
place of the eagle, the chosen emblem
OF the Republican party of Kentucky. II
was admitted by the committee that this
was a transparent fraud and that it
was done with intent to deceive, but il
was contended that the number of colored
votes lost in this manner were not
enough to overcome the sitting member 5
majority of 253 over his contestant The
minority report contended that fraud
Vitiated everything and that the entire
vote OF the county must be thrown out.
After an exceedingly animated discus
sion, the house sustained this view by a
vote OF 1yI TO 81. On the only previous
occasion in this congress where the cleo
ton committee received a set bacn, Mr..
William H. Moody. of Massachusetts. who
led the forlorn hope in today's debate,
in support of the majority report was
the successful asSailant He made a
minority report of one in the case of
"Rinaker and Downing" from the First
1llnOiS ulStIlcl. not IN FAVOR OF seating
Rinaker. but of having a recount of the
vote. In this the house sustained him.
and on a recount Rinaker was seated.
In the division today of the ten Re
Dublicans who voted to sustain the ma
jority of the committee three were from
Massachusetts, which led Mr.. Hardy
(ReD- Indiana) to remark that Massa-
chusetts had slobbered over too much"
an insult TO Massachusetts which Mr.
Moody Indignantly resented. The rest of
the session was given up to the passage
of bills by consent which led the leader
to consent to a speedy adjustment and at
4:30 the house adjourned until tomorrow.
