CHEATED MINERS REBEL.
They Threated to Take Vengeance on
Employers Who Cheated Them.

Ottawa, ILL.,. Jan. S.-Sheriff Jockey
has left for Rutland village with 16
special deputies, picked from the old
militiamen, and armed with Martin re-
pcating rifles, on a call for help from
Deputy Matt COulsOn, who has been on
the ground ever since Monday night,
when the miners at Emerson IIake's
shaft threatened to rae the buildings.
The telegram to Sheriff Yockey was
to the effect that between 200 and 500
Italians and Austrians were parading
the streets and threatening to loot
Ha!Ses' store and burn the shaft.
The trouble grew out of a break in
the scales, which weighed $50 pounds
light. 1t was several days before the
miners discovered this. The manag ger
failed 10 keep his promise to repair the
scales, and the men quit. He has re-
fused to pay them the money due, claim
ing they are not discharged, and must
wait until pay day, Jan. 16, for their
money.
The Rutland miners have been Joined
by miners from surrounding towns.
Many of them are armed. Rutland is a

Cholera is Not Cholera and There is
Cure for Afflicted Swine

Mason City, Ia, Jan S--There is no
longer any question that remedy
has been found for the cholera The
farmers institute at Rockwell was Wis
tied by Frank Baumgartner of Peotone,
Ill Division Freight Agent Clamans of
Dubuque and District Agent Calkins,
the two latter representatives OF the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul road
Mr. Baumgartner addressed the con-
vention and said that the disease was
neither infective nor contagious and
was produced by injudicious feeding.
He does not call the disease cholera,
but malaria. typhoid fever or appen-
dicitis He is backed by the Chicago.
Milwaukee and st. Paul company, and
q commission from the agricultural de-
partnent will visit him in few days
He has made public exhibitions at Du-
buOale West Union and McGregOr. He
went into sick herds and absolutely
cured them.
He has gone into healthy herds and
produced the cholera, allowing one
hog to die and curing the others. I'm
der the directions of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul road he will make
exhibitions at Mason City, Emmets-
burg and Algona.
The farmers attending the institute
were so thoroughly convinced of his
ability to cure that had he had his med
icine on sale hundreds of dollars would
have been expended for the drug, as
hogs are dying in this locality by the
hundreds. The state lost $15, 100000 in

THEY BURN THE DEVIL.
Object Lesson Given to the Ungod17
by New York Salvationists.

New York, Jan. S.-One bright scarlet
devil and some of his sinful accessories.
including a picture of Bob" Ingerson,
were burned in a seething pile of green
fire, smoke and lava at the Salvation
Army headquarters in West Fourteenth
street last night. Major Winchell the
the crematory, assisted by six cadet
lassies. The barbecue, which was in
tended as an object lesson. took place
on the stage after a street parade.
After the conclusion of the evening
sermon six lassies carried a black cof-
fin with the word ''Hades" engraved on
the plate to the platform. The ma
jors sacrificial devil was built of card
board life size, and showing all the
chaVa cteristics of the boss of the bot
tOmless pit Except for a tail covered
with green scales, the devil glOwed fiery
red from his horned brow to the clOven
feet He carried a pitchfork in his
right hand, while the green tail hung
gracefully over the left arm. A coat
ing of PHOSPHORUS rubbed over the red
paint and tinse1 rendered this the most
luminous devil ever seen in Fourteenth
street, either east or west.
While awaiting his doom the victim
hung in the loop of slack wire
stretched across the stage behind red
screen. At a signal from the major
the lights were turned out and the devil
bobbed up, Writhing and twisting in
realistic torment, amid SplutterS or
green red, blue and yellow fire, tossed
into the furnace below. The spectacle
was well calculated to make the I'M
thinking and the ungodly forsake the
devil and his consuming arts.
The object lesson also included the
vivisection of another devil also a help
less prisoner in the coffin carried by the
six lassies The component parts Of
this Beelzebub, severed with huge
knife in the hands of the major, were
of things earthly, such as gaudy rib
bons, playing cards, revolvers, Bob
Ingersolfs Autographs. trashy literature,
whisky bottles, the tongue of bias
phemer and an Easter bonnet All these
things the major denounced as inimica-
bic to the cause of salvation. Then he
cast them into the fiery furnace.

The Loud postal bill which has pass
and the president will effectually stop
the transmission through the mails at
newspaper rates of all sorts of books,
old and new, when there is nothing to
entitle them to such privileges except
the fact that they are dated and num-
saving a large sum to the government
and prevent one of the great abuses of
the postal laws. Many publishers is
sued books and dated them simply to
secure a newspaper postage rate. One
concern issued Webster's old dictionary
in four parts, dating one January, an
other April, the third July and the
fourth October. The provision requir-
ing sample copies to go as third class
postage will tend to prevent the publ
cation or starting of many fraudulent
periodicals which obtained a circulation
not by means, of subscriptions, but by
the gratis issues of sample copies. The
provision in the law against sample
copies of newspapers will probably
have a deterring influence on the start
ing of new newspaper enterprises. That
part of the bill which provides against
the return to the publishers of unsold
periodicals at pound rates will proba-
bly, lead to some other arrangement be-
tween the news companies and the re-

CHOCTAW COWS MESSAGE.
Governor Harris Protests Strongly
Against the Dawes Treaty.

Ardmore, T. t, Jan. S.-Gov. Harris
has delivered his message to the legis-
lature which is now in session at I'll
shomingo.
1t deals entirely with the work of the
Dawes commission and is in part as
follows:
Owing to the fact of the great uneas-
mess plainly manifested by the people
throughout the nation, you are called
to determine what is best to be done
in the matter of common defense and
protection of our national and property
rights, and the maintenance or surren-
der of our tribal autonomy and present
conditions.
The Dawes Choctaw treaty does not
suit. Such an agreement is not the
best for our people and unless prompt
action be taken that treaty may be
ratified and the same made applicable
to us. We have two cases to pursue
treat with Dawes, or do nothing and
take the consequences.
The governor then said: LAS an In
dian, I must prefer to remain as we
are, yet my better judgment teaches
me that this is impossible. We are the
weak in the hands of the strong and
while we should command, we are only
begging for our government, our prop
erty right, our lands and, oh, God, our
nations homes

DROP BOMBS FROM KITES.
New Method of Warfare is Expert
mented With by ubans.

Wells, Me, Jan. S.-Interesting ex-
periments in the discharge of powerful
explosives, in the interest of the Cuban
junta in this country, have been made
during the last two days on the DESC
late portion of the beach eight miles
west of Wells The possibility of ex-
ploding dynamite mines over which an
enemy is marching was fully demon
Strated, and it was also shown that
explosives may be fioated above an
army attached to the tail of kite and
dropped upon an enemy with disastrous
results
Three of the men who made these ex-
perimentS were Cubans. One was a
chemist named Augustus Robinson of
New York. Another was an electrician
closely identified with a telegraph office
at Lynn, Mass. Every effort was made
to keep the matter secret.
A great kite nearly fifteen feet in
height, which had heretofore been con-
cealed, was brought out by the Cubans
and handed over to the electrician who
began preparations to fly it. On the
string he used two very fine insulated
wires, twisted together and about one
mile in length. A long tail of insulated
wire was connected with the kite. At
the end of the kite tail two balls con-
tanning a high explosive were after
ward attached. The kite was raised q
short distance in the air twice before
the explosives We're attached to the
long tail The preliminary expert
ments being satisfactory. preparations
were made to send the kite the full
length of the wire string. The balls
containing the explosives were attached
to the tail and the great kite was start
ed out. There was a stiff breeze blow
ing and the monster kite was soon sail
ing out over the ocean, but far above
the water.
The wire string was paid out until
the kite was a mile away. Then the
two ends of the twisted wire were
handed over to the electrician. He at
tached the wires to his battery and pre-
pared to send an electric current
through the wire string and tail of the
kite to the balls which contained the
explosive.
Within a few seconds there was
deafening report, but not so loud one
as was heard when the mines were ex-
ploded on the beach. A moment later
there was a great cOmmOtiOn in the
water and tremendous waves washed
the shores. No doubt was left in the
mind of any one who saw it as to what
would have been the fate of body of
troops mad the explosive dropped from
the kite fallen upon them

$4,000 PINCH OF SNUFF.

GersonLevy Wants That Sum. Though
He Bought Only Three Cents Worth.
New York, Jan. S.-For an expendi-
ture of cents Gerson Levy asks to be
reimbursed in the sum of $4,000. The
whole story hinges on pinch Of snuff,
or, to be accurate, on 3 cents worth of
that commodity, alleged to have been
purchased by Levy from Simon and
nimon Scharlein.
The Scharleins are the largest man
ufacturers of snuff in this city, and
have a big factory and a small store
at No. 10 Division street. About six
weeks ago, Levy, who is about so, and
has a numerous family, went to the Di-
vision street store, and, according to
snuff box filed. This was done, and,
laying three pennies down on the coun-
ter, he went away.
Levy used the snuff Sparingly for
day or two and became Ill. without.
however, guessing at the cause of his
illness. At the end of a fortnight he
says he felt as though poisoned or par
alyZed. He went to the Beth Israel
hospital What the physicians there
said cannot be learned. but after a
short stay he was taken to his home in
Allen street.
In q few days he will be removed to
the Monteflore home. Lawyer Beck

interview with him served on the
