INDIAN GIRL A STAR.
Gretchen Lyons of the Wainwright
Company Full Blooded Cherokee.

Wichita. Aug. 1S-Comparatively few
people are aware of the fact that the
real name of Gretchen Lyons, the beau
tifuI actress and singer who is now
playing the role of Puck in Marie
Wainwrlght's Shakespearean play, "A
Midsummer Nights Dream" at st.
Louis, is Ollie Heath, and that she is a
Cherokee Indian girl, born and raised
at Brushy mountain. near Muscogee,
L t., and schooled at the female SEM
mary at Tahlequah and HarreI 1nsti-
tute at Muscogee.
Eight years ago Ollie Heath was a
pupil at the female seminary at Tah-
lequah and one of the prettiest
schoolgirls that ever graced the big
chapel during study hours.
During her school life she displayed
remarkable histrionic talent, and al
ways played the leading roles in the
private theatricals occasionally given.
A little over two years ago she took
advantage of an offer to go on the
stage. Since then but little has been
heard from her by her territory friends,
except a few intimateS, until recently.
Her recent successes have brought her
into prominence in theatrical and must
cal circles and her pictures now adorn
the pages of the metropolitan maya
zines and dailieS.

INJUNCTION
STANDS.
Judges Collier and Stowe Hand
Down Their Decision
In the Striking Miners Injunc-
tiOn Proceedings.
ORDER is PERMANENT.
Miners Have Ceased Marching
in Large Bodies
And Will Operate in Groups of
Five or Six.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 1S.-Judges
Stowe and Collier handed down their
opinion in the miners injunction cases
shortly after 1 o'clock this morning.
The decision makes the preliminary in
junction permanent.
The striking miners encamped at the
mines of the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal company did not march this
morning as they had planned to do. 1t
was their purpose to start for the
mines headed by a brass band and
march until the sheriff stopped them.
They did not anticipate, however, that
the Sheriff had his men so close to their
camps. At Turtle Creek the men form
ed in line, and when they were ready
to start they beheld the deputies stand
ing just outside the camp. The march
was at once abandoned and small par
ties numbering from two to six each
were instructed TO patrol the woods in
the vicinity of the mine and report the
number of men going to work. They
were instructed to keep moving and If
approached by a deputy sheriff to get
away as rapidly as possible to escape
the service of the injunction if possible
The leaders propose in this way to har
rasS the deputies and the De ArnlittS.
They say there are 10000 men in the
district and that the injunction will
have to be read 10000 times before the
Sandy Creek and Plum Creek cease I'M
less the mines are sooner closed down.
The men followed the instructions,
but were unable to learn just how many
diggers went into the pit today. The
output of the Oak Hill mine yesterday
was seven cars of lump coal and two
of slack and nut. This shows a gain
for the company, though no claim of
increased force is made by the De Ar
mitts and the strikers claim that only
% men are at work. A mass meeting
of miners and citizens has been called
to be held al Monongahela City to-
night. Saturday afternoon a mass
meeting will be held at Canonsburg.
Today the miners of Lawrence, Butler
and Mercer will hold meeting at the
court house at Mercer. National or
ganizer Cameron Miller will make an
address. The heads of the various
labor Organization of the city will hold
a conference with the miners officials
tomorrow evening.
Columbus, O., Aug. 18.-Henry Lloyd
of Boston, general president of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
of the United States, reported today
for duty in behalf of the miners and left
for Montgomery, w. Va, the place of
his assignment for work.

M'LAURIN CASE BAD.
The Senator was Completely Pros.
trated by His Encounter
With Evans

Columbia, S. c.. Aug. Ex-senator
McLaurin is still at his home at Ben
nettsville and advices from there say
that he is not improving very rapidly.
DIR. Jennings, the physician who is at
tending the senator, gives this state
ment of the case:
Senator McLaurin's condition has
been one of great physical prostration,
attended by symptoms of impending
cerebral trouble of the gravest nature.
L have had to insist, therefore, upon
absolute quiet, as essential to his re-
covery. Under the most favorable cir
cumstances week at least must elapse
before it will be prudent for him to
leave his ROOM.

HARB0R BOARD WINS.
Its Powers Cannot Be Abridged by
Simple Judgment of
Court.

A decision was received from the Su-
preme Court, now sitting at Los Angeles,
in the case of the Union Transportation n
Company against the Board OF State Har-
Dor Commissioners, which was favora bl E
to the latter body.
This case has practically been before the
courts for the past five years. In the fall
OF 1892 the Union Transportation Com
paDy was running its large river boats to
Stockton and carrying freight, principally
produce from the farm, and passengers
up and down the San Joaquin RIVER. 1t
docked its steamers then at the Clay
street wharf. The old line, its rival in
business, docked at the Washing ton street
wharf.
In August, 1892, the Harbor Commits
sioners, by order, changed the place of
landing of plaintiffs boats to Mission
street wharf. The owners OF the new line
entered a vigorous protest to this change,
and began suit to enjoin the harbor
Commissioners from CARRYING this order
into effect. The claim was made that the
order was made arbitrarily and without
reason, save to discriminate against the
new line and IN favor OF its competitor
the old line. In fact, it was charged that
the order was made in order to ruin the
new company by running its business,
"HlCu was sure 10 DC the result II COM
PEELED 10 land its freight so far from the
mission. houses.
The lower court granted perpetual in
junction against the Harbor Commits
sloners, and IN lis findings held that the
situation as set forth by the Union Trans
portatlon Company was correct. From
this the Hartor Commissioners appealed,
and the Supreme Court gave much coa-
sideratlon to their assertion that the
powers of the Board of State Harbor Com
missIoners are defined by the code, and
that the lower court cannot substitute its
Judgment Tor that of the board. Alter
discussing the details of the case Justice
HenShaw caused the judgment and order
OF the lower court TO be reversed and the
cause remanded. The opinion was con-
CURED in by Justices Mcfarland, Temple
Van Fleet, Garoutte, Harrison and Chief
Justice Temple

REMOVAL OF REGENTS.
Governor Rogers of Washington Takes

SEATTLE, WASH, Oct. 1-Goverpor
Rogers his afternoon took hand in the
State University fight and removed James
r. Hayden, John P. Fay and Rev. Clark
Davis from the Board of Regents and ap-
pointed as their successors Richard Win
sor, ex-United States Senator John B.
Allen ana State Senator Easterday of Ia
coma.
John P. Fay, when apprised of his re-
movai, said the Governor had no power
to remove him a his continuance in Of
flee is based on legislative authority. Con-
tinuing he said: II shall continue to ex-
ercise my duties as president of the board
and | shall take such legal steps as are
necessary to protect my rights in this mat
ter. The Governor of this State was elected
TO enforce the laws, not to override them.
This proves to my mind what l have long
been unwilling to believe that Governor
Rogers is using his Office for the sole pur
pose of placing himself in the United
States Senate, and TO accom- plish this he
would wreck every institution in this

Firm Friend on points. On account of the
injuries to the dog, he was withd rawn 70
