they jumped into a buggy driven by
two boys. They drove the horses hard
until they saw that the Odell pursuers

corn fields. Hundreds of people were
soon on the scene. They surrounded the
fields, and after several desperate at
temptS to get away, the miscreants
were caught. Numerous shots were
fired but no one was injured. The rob-
bers were brought to town and lodged

Alaska is as Big as the Whole
United States
East of the Mississippi, and
Full of Mountains.
1T is FULL 1000 MILES
From Chicago to the New Gold
Fields.
Arctic Winter Begins by the
End of September.

Helena, Mont, July 20.-Eleven thou
sand four hundred ounces of gold from
the Klondyke diggings in Alaska was
received at the assay office here last
night by the Northern Pacific express
from Seattle
Ten thousand ounces were consigned
to the American National bank of this
city and the balance to the United
States assay office here. The Alaska
shipment in connection with about $780,
900 received from placer mines. makes
the total receipts at the assay office
about $1,000
president of the North American Trad
ing company, is receiving hundreds of
letters asking informa ton regarding
the Alaskan gold fields. He said today:
The boats which sail for Seattle this
month are full-eVery passage taken.
That means that anyone who wants to
go to klOndyke must wait for the Au-
gust boats. And the journey is 1000
miles People talk about it as If it was
walking across the street. They don't
realize what Alaska is-what the Yu-
kon is. They will need map to con-
vince them of the truth that the cOun-
try of the Yukon and it's tributaries in
Alaska and British America is as large
as the whole United States east of the
Mississippi-that it is longer than a trip
to Europe before they reach the Bering
Sea and the mouth of Yukon; that by
the time they strike the Yukon the
Alaskan arctic winter will be upon
them.
by September 25 the winter settles
down and the Yukon country is frozen
solid until next May. The expense of
getting from Chicago to Seattle is $50,
and from Seattle to Bering Sea is $3.50.
There will be thousands of eastern men
who will go, but of course the coast
people have everything in their favor.
One thing must be remembered, that
the Flondyke country is in British do
main and will be governed according

BOTH SIDES ARMING.
Striking Miners Threaten to Take
Guns Into the Controversy.

Canonsburg, Pa, July 20-The strik-
ing miners from Bridgeville, who visi-
ted the Allison, Boon and Enterprise
mines yesterday for the purpose of in
ducing the men at work to come out,
dispersed after having attained their
object without trouble. Immediately
upon the receipt of the news of the
proposed raid, the mine owners at these
pits ordered a suspension until the ex-
citement dies out In the afternoon
the strikers held a meeting at which
speeches were made to the effect that if
the men did not remain out the strik-
ers would return 1000 strong and bring
guns. A committee was appointed to
guard the mines and report in case the
men returned to work.
Some of the men are afraid to go in
again as they say the strikers threaten
ed violence and said they would burn
the cars and tipples.
Notwithstanding the present quiet
the operators express themselves as be-
ing alarmed over the situation and
have doubled their force of deputies at
the mines. The trainmen who are to
take coal from the Allison mine have
been armed with Winchesters, like the
deputies.

CURRENCY MESSAGE TO GO.
President Will Spring It as Soon as
the Tariff Bill Passes.

Washington. July 20.-It is semi-offi-
cially announced today that President
Mckinley will withhold his currency
message until after the conference re-
port on the tariff bill has been adopted
by the senate. The Republican leaders
in the senate do not desire to have any
new question thrown into the senate
while the debate is on. lest it may lead
to complications and delay
1t is in difference to their opinions and
wishes that the president has postpon-
ed sending the message to congress. He
is, OF course, as anxious as any of them
can be to have the bill become law at
the earliest possible moment but as
soon as the bill is out of the way the
currency message will be sent to con-
greSS.

DEBs GETS THEM OUT.
Fortur ately for the Operators He
Cannot Be Everywhere.

Wheeling, w. Va, July 2O.-Yester-
day was Debs day at Fairmont and il
was the biggest day in the history of
the town. People came from all the
country around and jammed the court
house and streets for blocks, but they
came out of curiosity and not to help
the strikers. This was shown by the
fact that the Pritchard miners who had
been out of hearing of the speech, met
and voted to return to work Last
night Debs gave it as his opinion that
the region would be closed by Thurs
day, but the operators say the men now
striking will be back to work by that
time E.less the agitators get out the
men at work today.
Debs was very cool and moderate in
his talk and offended no one. In the
morning he spoke at Monongah and the
men came out in spite of an offer of
another 10 cents in wages. Aside from
Monongah there have been no additions
to the strikers ranks. In the Kanah-
wah valley three more mines were
closed, and three of those closed re-
sumed, making the situation a bout the
same as on Saturday. The organizers
are still hard at work, but somewhat
discoura ged. On the Norfolk & West
ern railway the strike got a big set

OUGHT TO BE REWARDED.
Farmer Who Fires Into a Gang of
Charivari Rufhars Refused Pardon

About two years ago Daniel Country
man, an old soldier noted for having a
violent temper, lived near Wakeeney,
Trego county. His Oldest son was mar
ried and brought his bride to his faith
er's house That night the youths of
the neighbOrhoOd turned out with bells
horns, horse f1ddles and like devices and
gave the younger Countryman an old
fashioned charivari.
Countryman, sr., ordered them away
and failing to drive them out, took an
old musket loaded with goose shot to
enforce his order. He fired into the
crowd and the shot tore off the flesh
on one side of Joseph Sig1er's right leg
Countryman was sentenced to two and
half years in the penitentiary. His
neighbOrs and family sent long petit
tions asking for his pardon. The state
board of pardons heard his application
yesterday and refused to recommend a
pardon.
Members of the state board of par
dons hail from rural retreats and they
believe the sacred right of ''yaps'' to
disturb people who get married with a
''shivaree" ought not to be infringed on
If anything does justify firing a shot@
gun. it is the average back woods
''shivaree" they call it in the circles
where it is popular.

FOUND FIRE WATER
Aud Then the Police Found These
Four Kickapoo Indians.

Four of the Kickapoo Indians came
down from Wamego yesterday and
while here sought TO have a time in
Smoky Row.
Where they got their liquor or of
whom, is a dead secret, for it is a pen
itentiary Offense to sell liquor to a red
man.
Last night they swayed about the
streets in drunken indecision- There
was old WahaSson, stout of build, with
long black hair, stern countenance and
dirty clothing. His tall son was fully as
drunk.
Then Joe Nadeau, who is lame, and
Sleepy Whitewater, completed the quar-
tette.
Some time in the night old Wahas-
son drifted away from the other war
riors and was lost to view Several
hours afterward a policeman found him
lying on the Union Pacific railroad
tracks, west of North Topeka in a
heavy drunken sleep His body lay
squarely across the rails and would
have made excellent grinding material
for locomotive wheels. Three strong po-
licemen lifted him into the patrol wa
gon and he was hauled to police sta
tion where he was put into a cell just
like a heavy sack of corn.
About o'clock this morning the
three Indians, young Wahasson, Ma
locked up.
Police Judge AtchisOn asked them if
they were drunk, and then assessed
fine of 50 each. Old Wahasson was st1li
so drunk that he could not be brought
into court.
An Indian agent of the kickapoos ar
rived and settled the debt.

LOBDELL LEAVES KANSAS.
He Will Locate in Kansas City aad
Go Into Business.

Charlie Lobdell has decided to quit
Kansas. He has sold his house at
Dighton, Lane county, where he has
resided for years, and has advertised
his household furniture for sale. He
means to. locate in Kansas City and go
into business there.
After number of years in Kansas
politics Lobdell says he is tired and is
done with political Vaccinations for
ever more. 1t would not be surprising
however, to see the erstwhile Kansas
representative take a hand in Missouri
politics when he becomes located in
that state. He has been an important
figure in the Kansas political field, and
in the legislature of 1895 was chosen
speaker of the house of representatives.
Lobdell possesses the essential of a sue
cesSful politician.

DISASTERS In CUBA

London, July 20.-A special dispatch
from Madrid referring to the revival of
Carlism, says: Large quantities of
supplies are stored on the French bor-
der and large consignments of arms
have been ordered in Germany and in
Belgium. While nobody thinks that
the Carlists will openly rebel in the
present circumstances, if popular dis
content over the miSmanagement of the
Cuban campaign and the subServiancy
to the United States spreads and de-
velops riots, as it is quite likely to do,
then Don Carlos may try his luck
again.
New York, July 2O-Among the pas
sengers who arrived in this city by the
steamship Gascogne from Havre, were
Antonio Bravo, a Cuban provincial
deputy and Leandro G. Alsorta, editor
of LaPaz, a Madrid newspaper. Both
men We're political prisoners in Spain
and together they escaped to France
where they boarded the steamer for
this city.
Senor Bravo, speaking about public
opinion in Spain regarding the Cuban
war, said: THE mass of the Spanish
people are disgusted with the outlook
in Cuba. They begin to realize the
uselesSnesS of prolonging a war which
mas mas cost the Spanish nation about So
900 men and over $500. .OO0 900. Public
men in Spain begin to voice the popular
sentiment. Pi MargaIl, the venera BILE
