MINERS CAPTURE TRAINS.
Railroad Officials Order the Crews to
Haul Them Where They
Want to Co

Cincinnati, Aug. PA special to the
Commercia1-Tribune from We4lSton, O.,
says: "Seven hundred miners, headed
by three brass bands, tagged a mixed
freight and passenger train on the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railway
this morning at crossing in the south
ern part of this city.
The train came to a stop and was
boarded by the men, then the trainmen
refused to proceed and backed their
train to the depot, where they were or
dered by officials of the road to pro-
ceed. The miners were en- route to Oak
Hill, where there was mine in full
operation. Arriving at Oak Hill, the
strikers marched to the mine and de-
manded that the men come out. This
the men did but not before being as
sured that no harm was intended if they
conducted themselves right. The men
then held a meeting and informed the
strikers that they would not work until
the strike was settled. The men were
then compelled to march with the strik-
ers through the principal streets of Oak
Hill.
Returning to Wellston, the strikers
captured a Baltimore & Ohio South
western freight train. Its conductor at
first refused to move his train but went
on TO Wel1ston when informed that the
miners were going to stay on board un-
til he did move. This is the second
time that the strikers have taken the
men out of Oak Hill mine and they in
formed them if they We're compelled to
make a third trip they would make it
UNPLEASANT for them.

Democracy and all lovers of liberty ana

will be taken in regard to the miners

iary in issuing restraining orders
He says: THE hour has struck to
call halt
In conclusion he says: every atom
of American manhood revolts against
the spectacle. Judges, by the usurpa ton
of power and playing the role of tyrants
have annihilated the constitution, aDro-
gated the right of trial by jury, forbid
den free speech, suppressed peaceable
assemblage and transformed our repuo-
lie into an absolute despotism.
-sThey are guilty of judicial treason
and should be made to- answer at the
bar of an outraged people.

TO AVOID RESUBMISSION.
Mr.. Nicholson Says There Must be a
Campaign of Instruction.

S. E. Nicholson of Indiana spoke last
night at the First Congregational
church. An audience of less than ITS
people gathered at the church to hear
the lecture on christian Citizenship" "
What the speaker said was logical and
well stated, but the audience was dis
appointed with the delivery. Mr.
Nicholson has been advertised as an
eloquent orator. The audience was
composed mostly of old men, and it was
unreSpOnSiVe.
Mr.. Nicholson said that the only way
to avoid resubmission in Kansas and
to have enforcement of the prohibitory
law was to have a campaign of in
struction and united effort.
After the lecture the executive COM
mittee of the Topeka Christian Citi-
zens' league met and elected P. w.
Griggs vice president, and F. G. Fra
Zeur treasurer. Next Monday night a
president and secretary will be elect
ed at the Y. M. c. A, rooms. At that
time a committee consisting of Robert
Stone, A. G. Carruth and D. r. Ev-
ans will submit a constitution and by

TOB BE A PRETTY SIGHT.
Spectacular Features of ssThe Tenn.
est" Excel Midsummer Nights
DrRam.

1.-THE spectacular production of the
Tempest as it will be put on at the
Grand Opera House next week will be
much prettier than the production of
the Midsummer Nights Dream which
was produced here several years ago.
I believe it to be the best production
ever arranged"
This is what Miss Georgia Brown
took time to tell a Journal reporter
this morning, ceasing in the midst of
the demon dance on the stage of the
Grand Opera House. AS Miss Brown
put on the Midsummer Nights
Dream in this city, she is in a posi-
ton to know how the production of the
Tempest compares with what was
one of the prettiest amateur produc-
tions ever seen in Topeka. Those who
witnessed the Midsummer Nights
Dream can now form some idea of
what the spectacular production of the
Tempest will be like.
Miss Brown spends the entire morn
ing and afternoon each day in train
ing the children who take part in the
dances and form the chorus of the pro-
duction.. Each evening she devotes to
rehearsals of the cast. Everything will
be in readiness by next Wednesday ev-
ening, the first evening of the produc-
ton.
Tickets for the Tempest" have been
placed in the hands of the children
who will take part in the production,
and a prize has been offered by Mrs
Sutton for the greatest number of
tickets sold.

THE DAILY ASYLUM ESCAPE
Max Woiche of This County, Runs
Away From the Asylum.

The attendants at the insane asylum
found themselves short another patient
last evening at bed time. The patients
of the brick building were out on the
lawn after supper and a man by the
name of Max Woiche escaped. None of
the attendants saw him go and they
were not aware of his escape until his
bed was found empty at bed time.
Woiche is about feet inches in
height and weighs 170 pounds. He was
sent to the asylum from Shawnee coun-
ty about five years ago. This is the
second time he has escaped. Once
while he was washing the stairs he took
it into his head to leave and walked
away. Some of the female employees
saw him go but before the alarm was
given he had taken to the woods and
could not be found. 1t was cold wealth
er and Max got hungry the next day
and returned. AS yet the authorities
have found no trace of him.

A SLAUGHTER Pen.
Another Jockey Killed ON the
K. C.. Race Course.

Kansas City, Aug. 24.-Jockey Jesse
Clutter was killed on the Exposition
race course yesterday afternoon. He
had the mount on Dazzle, an odds on
favorite in the second race. The horse
went down and the boys skull was
fractured by the fall. He died in an
ambulance en- route to the hospital. In
the first race Sir Archer and Lulu s.,
fell, Jockey Joe Webber, who went down
with Lulu s., WAS carried from the track
unconscious. He is badly hurt, but will
recover.
The bookmakers at the track got a
new lease of life today, by securing a
temporary injunction in the state cir
cult court restraining the police from
interfering with them. The injunction
against the police is granted on the
ground that the track bookmakers are
operating under a charter issued by the
secretary of state, and under licenses
issued daily by the state auditor, in ac-
cordance with the state breeders law.

NOT THE AMEER's FAULT.
Ruler of Afghanistan Says the AT
ghans Are Acting Without
His Authority.

London. Aug PA dispatch to the
Times from Simla says:
The following official communication
was issued last night: The ameer has
promptly replied to the letter in which
the Indian government called his at
tention to information received by 1t to
the effect that Afghan subjects nad
Joined Haddah MuI1ah. The ameer
distinctly denies the truth of reports
that Afghan regulars have Joined the
mullah. He engages solenHnly ana per
sonally on behalf of General Gholam-
Haidar and the regular army that no
such act of hostility will ever be COM
mitted by them. He alleges that If
tr9besmeR have Joined at all, they must
have joined secretly, because they would
not have dared to do so openly because
of fear of him.
action of the mullaf1&, especially Haddah
Mullah who in former years melted his
people against him in Afghanistan and
he denounces their conduct.
This is a most important pronounce
Enent, and if published broadcast on the
frontier may have a great effect upon
the tribesmen-
General Elles will endeavor to induce
the Afridis to leave the hills and ven-
ture into the open, but it is feared they
will cling to the various spurs running
out toward Jamrud and PeShawar.
This may delay their dispersal and
they may become troublesome by dem
onstrations against the Kuki-Khe1 vii
layers living near the hills. Kohal and
a special dispatch from Simla says
the belief prevails there that the gov
ernment in the official communique has
suppressed portion of the ameer's re-
ply, owing to a difference of opinion be-
tween Lord Elgin, the viceroy, and the
military authorities. Lord Elgin de-
eireS to act cautiously and to avoid an
open rupture with the ameer. The mil
Stary authorities, on the other hand, are
convinced that the ameer is acting in
bad faith, and they urge Lord E1gin to
act quickly before the ameer is able to
make formidable military preparations
The generally well informed CORE
spondent of the Times at Simla says
probably born of the feeling that the
ameer, although he disowns, does not
disapproVe of the doingS of his tribes
men, while there is the further poSSibil-
atty of Russian intrigues in the back
ground.
Curiously enough, the Paris Memorial
DiplofnatiQue, which is supposed to have
connections with Russian diplomacy.
announced in its Sunday issue that the
ameer was preparing for the eventu-
ality of war in any case
The Afridis have always displayed a
keener readiness for plundre than for
ghting and the fact that they have ad-
vanced to the attack of fortified posts
ing Khyber pass, while under pay of
the Indian government, indicates that
some strong motive animates them
The Afridis number about 10000 first
class hill fighters. An anxious fea ture
of the situation is that the Anglo-In-
dian army is largely recruited from the
AfridiS.
