ILLINOIS MINES CLOSE.
Mount Vernon Coal Company Re
fuses to Pay the Springfield Scale.

Mount Vernon, Ill, April Lowing to
the inability of the operators and oper-
atlVes to agree upon a scale of wages
the mines here owned by the Mount
Vernon Coal Mining company will shut
down tomorrow for an indefinite per
iOd.
The Springfield meeting, held last
month, fixed the scale price for these
mines at so cents, with eight instead of
ten hours work. This price, the man
ayers of the company claim, they can
not pay, and inasmuch as they were not
represented in the Springfield meeting
and did not agree to the wage scale
they claim they are not bound by its
provisions.
They contend that the company the
past year has been operating the mine
without a cent of profit, and that any
increase in wages would mean CORES
ponding loss to the stockholders. The
directors held a meeting this morning
at the office of Webb & Harris, when it
was decided to adhere to the present
price of 45c.
The miners held a meeting at Katt-
ners hall this afternoon and unani-
mously voted to stand by the Spring
field scale.
James Boston of the miners execu-
tive committee of the Seventh district,
was present for the purpose of assist
ing in the adjustment of the trouble,
but his mission was a failure, and the
mines will close tomorrow.

IT is A MYSTERY.
Reported Death of Steve BrOdie
is Doubted.
No Trace of the Body Has Been
Obtained.
HE LEFT HIS COMPANY
Which is Playing at a Chicago
Theater.
In New York He is Believed to
Be Alive.
HE LEFT HIS COMPANY

Chicago, April What has become
of Steve Brodie? This is the question
agitating his friends and the members
of his theatrical company. The company
is nerforming without him to the best
of its ability at local theater. Yester-
day, a telegram came to his manager,
c. w. Williams, from Adrian, Mich,
containing the information that the
bridge jumping actor had died on
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
train Just before reaching that place.
The officials of the railway, however
have not been able to locate the pooy
of the actor at Adrian, or at other
points along the road.
New York. April Much doubt is
expressed here as to the death of Steve
Brodie.
1t was reported at an early hour this
morning that he is alive ana mas sent
two kilograms to friends in this city
that he would arrive in New York at
o'clock this morning.

WOULD VOTE FOR HIM.
Thousands of Republicans Would Sup
port ingalls, if Nominated by Pop
ulists, Says Harrington.

John J. ingalls, is undoubtedly the
man who should be nominated for con-
gress in the First district by the fusion
lists in this campaign said Grant w.
Harrington, editor of the Kansas DEM
ocrat at Hiawatha, to a Journal report
er today. Mr.. Harrington also repre-
Sents the First district as a member of
the POpuliSt state central committee
and came to Topeka to attend the meet
ing of the executive committee last
night.
ingalls,, without exception, is the
greatest advocate and believer in the
principles of POpulism in that district.
He has always been friendly to silver
and is one of the few men who are iden-
titled with the opposition who admit
that silver was really demonetized.
Il remember during the last presiden-
t1al campaign Mr.. Ingalls, came to Hi
aWatha to make speech under the
auspices of the local Republican clubs
and they arranged a monster demon
stration for them. ingalls, did not
thuSe them, however, because he did
not get up and shout for the St Louis
platform. He talked tariff and when
he did refer to the money question it
was in such manner as indicated that
he felt silver was being worSted in that
platform and by the party which was
sustaining that idea. Republicans left
that meeting with their heads down but
we were glad ingalls, came said Mr.
Harrington, because he made votes
for the Populists by that speech.
eff the fusionists would nominate Mr.
ingalls, he would be elected because
there are thousands of Republicans
who would vote for him. The First dis
trict is safely Republican under ordi-
nary circumstances and unless some
thing of this kind is done we need not
figure on accomplishing anything this
year. So far as / am concerned I feel
that we have nothing to lose and every
thing to gain in this matter and L am
in favor of nominating Mr. ingalls,,
without q platform if necessary because
he is a platform unto himself.
Mr.. Ingalls, himself has not been
heard from in regard to all this talk. A
few days ago he was in Washington.

OF the Great Northern railway en- route
to the colonies which he has founded
in North Dakota. They arrived on
both special and regular trains from
points in Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Illinois, In
diana, and Michigan all through the
day, and left last night on three spec
ials over the Wisconsin Central. At st.
Paul they will be joined by a thousand
more of their sect, who are on the way
from western states. Their destination
is the Cando district of North Dakota,
where they will take up government
land for farming purposes.
Between January 1 and October 6,
1897 2,36S claims were filed by these
colonies on North Dakota land, and in
the last four years fully 10000 of them
have removed from the crowded agr1-
cultural districts of the central states
to the more open country of the Da-
kotas, where they are able to find land
for their grown up families. They are
taking their customs and their relig
ious belief with them, and cutting
settlement for themselves out of the
wilderness.

What is Paid for His Work

Perhaps no one receires so large
prices for bis work as Mr. Rudyard
Kipliug. says the British Weskly
He has contracted to write eight
stories for one of the magazines next
year, for each of which he will re-
ceive about $1,000 This is simply
for the English serial rights of the
stories In addition, Mr. Kipling
receives payment from America,
India and the colonies This will
probably bring up the price of the
stories to about $4,000 each, max
ing $4,000 year.
In addition.to this. Mr. Kipling re-
ceives the royalties for book publica
tion in England and America This
will not amour: to less than about
$4,000. so that for each story the
author receives not less than $4,000
Wbethe these high prices willr be
kept up is doubtful If the cheap
magazinism succeeds in lnjuring the
Older periodicals they may be main
