Through the Rockies via the
Great Salt Lake Route

The traveller, tourist or business
man of the west is wise when he
selects the Rio Grande Western
Railway, "Great Salt Lake Route"
for his route across the Rockies.
1t is the only transcontinental line
passing directly through Salt Lake
City, and in addition to the glimpse
it affords Of the Temple City, the
Great Salt Lake and the picturesque
Jordan valley, it affords choice Of
three distinct routes through the
mountains and the most magnih-
cent scenery in the world. It's road
bed and equipment cannot be ex-
celled by any line west of Chicago;
and while the RIO GRANDE VEST
ERN RAILWAY has been made
far-ous by the beauty and variety
of the scenery on its line, it is
equally noted for comfort and ele-
gance of its trains. Through Pull
man palace sleeping cars between
Ogden, Salt Lake City and Denver;
through Pullman tourist or family
sleeping cars to Kansas City, Chi
cagO and Boston without change;
and free reclining chair cars. For

so CENTS A TON OFFERED.
jackson Coal Company Throws Out
Tempting Bait.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, Aug. 12.-To-day Houston
Johnson, general manager of the Jackson
CCal and Mining Company, called his min
ers together and offered them so cents a
ton for mining coal and 81 a day for other
labor If they would return to work imme-
diately and mine enough coal to supply the
Central iron and steel works of this city.
This plant has been idle since the strike
for want of fuel, and many of the en-
ployes are in need of work. Mr.. Johnson
assured his men that he would not ship a
pound of coal and argued that accepting
his offer would be greatly to their benefit.
The price offered is 10 cents above the scale
asked by the miners for pick work and 25
cents more for day labor. This would en-
able the miners employed to donate hber-
ally to those remaining out for the advance,
and by starting the iron works here would
furnish work for others. The offer was
wholly unexpected and has created con-
The men declare it is a scheme cOncOCted
by the operators to break their ranks. No
action Will be taken on the offer until the
mass meeting Saturday, when the offer Will
in all probability be rejected One of the
miners officials said that it required the
combined efforts of the executive board to
prevent the miners from marching in
body to the mines where a few men are
employed keeping the mines in repair and
ordering the men out, and he thought that
Johnsons offer would add fuel to the flame
and that every man employed in q mine,
no matter what work he was doing, should
be compelled to quit work regardless of
consequences. The men are in no mood to
discuss teChnicalitleS, and particle of
agitation may create immense trouble The
operators insist that they should be al
lowed to work a few men to keep their
mines in repair, so that when the strike
is declared off they will be prepared to
resume work at once.

KILLED MEN AND CATTLE.
Waters of 81 Creek Infected with An
thraX Bacteria from Imported Hides.

DUBOIS Pa, Aug. 12.-Within the last
few days four deaths have occurred among
the Falls Creek tannery employees, two
miles from this city and several others are
reported very i'll. Some time ago the tam
merry company received the first invoice Of
one hundred thousand hides imported from
China. The hides were started through the
process of tanning, and the liquors drained
into the creek. Since then over score
OF cattle have died. 1t was discovered that
the cattle drank water from the creek
Some of the tannery employees were sub
sequentIy taken sick and four have died so
far. Investigation showed the hides were
infected with anthrax bacteria Only one
man who has been afflicted has recovered
The disease proves fatal in from five to
eight days. Considerable alarm exists at
Falls Creek over the possible spread of the
disease. The matter has been kept as
secret as possible but it is understood that
it has been referred to the State Board of
Health, and that an investigation will be
instituted.

Camn Broken Up.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug 12.-The camp of
the striking miners near the mines of the
Westmoreland and Pennsylvania Gas Coal
Company, at Irwin, Pa, which was estab
l!shed yesterday has br1Ken up and all but
ten or twelve of the men have gone back
to their homes. The cause Of the disband-
ing of the little army is attributed to the
fact that the people OF the neghbOrhood
refused to contribute provisions and money
for the maintenance of the strikers. Solio-
itors for provisions sent out from the camp
were invariably turned away empty handed,
The strikers last night became discouraged,
and in little groups they quietly took their
deDa ture hungry and loo'-sora after ne
long tramp of the day. The committee in
charge of the camp stated to-day, however,
that it was not done with Irwin, but would
return soon with ample provision for. long
stay if necessary. Tie miners who are at
work still insist that they will not strike.
