Pittsburg, Pa, July l4.-The heads
of the various railway organizations
have been appealed 10 for assistance
for the striking miners, if needed and
il is said they will render all the aid
possible. 1t was reported that p. NJ.
Locomotive Engineers, has been asked
TO issue orders 10 the engineers not TO
haul coal until the miners differences
should be adjusted. This would efFectu-
ally tie up all the coal ready for ship
ment and wdat might be loaded in the
event of failure to bring ell the miners
out. When President Radford was ask
ed as 10 the truth Of the report. he said :
"We have been keeping that feature Of
the strike from the newspapers for sew
eral days. l will say, however, that
we have communicated with the heads
of all the railway organizations in the
country, and | believe we will have
their support in this struggle. In regard
to asking them to call on the railway
employees 10 refuse to haul coal until
this strike is ended, will say this will
only be done when | have exhausted
all other means. 1t will hardly be fair
TO use this means until We have used
every effort TO close down every mine
in the bituminous coal field. l DO not
care to discuss this subject any further.
We are certain Of success and the situa
ton to-day is more encouraging than
at any time since the strike was inau-

South Dakota Is Civilized.

Brookings Register; The Register
has this week discovered an item of
interest which is too good to keep. 1t
seems that an elderly lady came up
from Owatona the first of the week to
look at some land before making an in
vestment. (which, of coure, was business
and perfectly proper but her ideas Of
teis country were very crude. Wild
Indians and bad, bad men abounded in
her Imagination, and it was with con-
siderable trepidity that she boarded
the train at home for this wild prairie
country. What was her surprise TO
find, upon her arrival, actual cities and
towns just like they have down in Min
nesota ; real white men, business houses.
good farms, etc The old lady became
rapturous at the sight, purchased two
good quarter sections, one for each of
her sons, and took her departure for
home singing praises of the country and
in very happy frame of mind. This
is an actual occurrence and is told TO
illustrate the vague ideas entertained
by some people that this is a wild and
woolly country fit only as a habitation
for savages.

Woman Suffrage In this Country

The total number Of women registered
and thereby entitled TO vote on the suf-
frage question at the Massachusetts, cleo
tion held Noy. 3, 1896, was 39,242. OF
this number only 23,06S voted. The
vote vas as follows: In favor Of female
suffrage, 22,204; against 5G4. Women
voted on equal terms with men in Wy
oming under the territorial constitution
from 1870 until 1890, when Wyoming
was admitted into the Union. The state
constitution, containing the clause for
woman suffrage, was ratified by the peo-
pie before admission. In Kansas wo-
men have the right Of suffrage in nm
nicipal elections. In 1891 over 10000
in the state. In many Of the states Of
the Union school suffrage exists for
women. Women in Montana who are
taxpayers have the same rights at the
polls as men. BY popular vote in Colo

No Pardon for Youngers.

A st. Paul special Of July 18th says
After an extended hearing on the petit

Younger. the surviving members ofthe
Missouri outlaw band who attempted
to raid bank at Mortified, Mimi, in
1876. tie state board Of pardons, consist
Of the governor, attorney general and
chief justice. this afternoon refused to
grant the requested relief, by unanimous
vote declaring their belief that the
Youugers should complete their term
OF life imprisonment. The present
attempt TO secure the pardon Of the
Youngers has been notable for the
amount Of pressure that has been
brought to bear on the board. The
presentation Of the case occupied all
yesterday afternoon and this morning
and the decision was announced late
this afternoon.

Two Houses Cannot Get Together.

A Washing dispatch of the 18th inst.
says; The tariff conferees find them
selves today apparently less certain than
at any previous time as to the date
when they will reach final agreement,
though protesting to hope that the time
will soon come. They are gradually
disposing of one problem after another,
but still have several left upon which
there are such marked disagreements
as to justify no predictions as to the re-

stated upon good authority have been
decided recently are those affecting lead
ore and white pine lumber. There has
been determined fight on the part of
the house conferees to get lead ore to l
cent q pound, but Senator Jones Of
Nevada, representing the lead mining
industry, has taken such firm position
against any change from the senate
figures that the house representatives
apparently have yielded finally. The
question has been left in such shape,
however, that it can be returned to and
it may be re-opened. On white pine

So per 1000 feet will be reported. There
is, however. a most active effort in the
senate to force % reconsideration on this
point and this effort is being made on
the republican side ofthe chamber even
more persistently than on the democratic
side. There is even at this early date
talk among republican senators Of the
probable necessity for another caucus to
decide on the course to be pursued with
reference to the conference report.
There are several senators on that side
Of the chamber who, it is feared, will
vote against sustaining report which
increases the pine duty and who say
that they cannot be bound by the action |
of former caucuses which deyoted their

The output OF gold in the United
States is on the increase to such a re-
narkable degree, that it would seem if
the miners and prospectors were let
alone for few years, they would solve
the problem of how to make money
plenty, without any special legislation
on the question. The credit for this
consummation devoutly to be wished is
mainly due, not to our national congress,
not to our legislatures, not to our courts,
not to our financiers, not to our banks,
business men or capitalists, but to our
inventors alone. 1t has been done by
the introduction Of new machinery and
improved methods in mining and re-
ducing the precious metals.

The heat hes been very severe in the
last few days in Chicago, and some of
the other large cities, the thermometer
ranging as high as l0s in the shade.
Many deaths haye occurred, but it is
noticeable that the death rate is not
nearly so great as it used to be at such
an elevated temperature. The reason
ascribed for this is the fact that the
people generally hsye learned better
how to treat themselves under the cir
cumstances. Il. e. they have learned to
keep sober, go slow, and keep cool.

The fact that the antitrust PROPOSE

bill does not mean that the republicans
are going to omit its active support. On
the contrary it will be pushed as an

sIgnaled that he was ready for the
sheriff TO proceed. The officials then
bound him with straps, the black cap
covered his head aed the moose was ad-
justed, with the knot on the left side of
his neck. During this proceeding
Brown retained his cool self possession,
muttering as the black cap was drawn
over his face, Blessed Jesus Blessed
Jesus ~ Then the witnesses on the
platform drew back, there was an
ominous silence of a few seconds, and
Sheriff Punkett stepped to the west
side of the platform. He quickly jerk
ed the lever, which was connected with
the bolt that held the trap IN place, and
Brown swiftly descended through the
trap to his death. 1t was exactly 1929
when the trap was sprung. Immediate.
