state reform school here, whereby T.
H. Thompkins. a Populist, was put in
charge instead of a Republican, was
made the occasion for a mutinOus out
break on the part of the inmates. The
trouble occurred on Saturday, and has
caused the management a good deal of
uneasiness. The boys were out on the
campus playing ball, when the order
was given them to fall in line to march
back to the building.
The youngsters refused point blank
and took to their heels, the shouts of
the new superintendent having no eff
feet on them. The guards were at once
called and the sheriff summoned, and
all Joined in the pursuit. Twenty-seven
boys got away from the grounds, but
after a long and heated chase, extend
ing into the night all were caught and
brought back except two, Norwegian
and a, big Indian, who are still at large.
On their way back the boys made slur-
ring remarks about the new Pop" sup
erintendent, and averred that they had.
planned to make the break for liberty
with the change of management. The
ringleader is big fellow named John
Williams.

ZINC IN CHASE COUNTY.
Capt Brandley Says the County Is
Full of Ore.

A few days ago John E. Frost wrote
to Captain H. Brandley, of AIatfieId
Green, Chase county, asking him about
the reports of zinc indications in that
locality. Captain Brandley is secretary
of the Chase county National bank, and
is one of the Oldest and best known
citizens Of the county. In hisEepIx to
Mr.. Frost, he says:
In answer to yours of yesterday
I will say: The country is full of zinc
ore and we have known it many years.
OF what benefit is zinc without lead or
coal? Why, the coping of some of my
stone walls are of the best zinc mater
ial. It requires coal to develop this min
eral, and not only coal but also lead
for the same purpose that quicksilver
is used in obtaining gold. We have had
for years indications of oil.''

COAT TAILORS GO OUT.
Between 10000 and $4,000 Men tc
Strike In New York.

New York, July 10.-The coat tai1ors,
it is reported, are preparing to go out
on strike for an advance in wages and
a reduction of hours of labor. They are
said to number between 10000 and 12,-
900 and of these $500 are women and
girls. Most of these people formerly
belonged to the Brotherhood OF Tail
ors that is affiliated with the United
Garment Workers of America, but they
bolted and formed an independent ma
tional organization.
They are not, however, AFFILIATED with
any central body and in the event of a
strike, it is said they cannot expect
any outside aid, not even from the
clothing cutters.
The Brotherhood of Tailors now num-
bers about 1000 members but these
have better wages and are generally
better off than the independents. Some
time ago the Independent union asked
the United Garment Workers whether
it would support in the event of a
strike and was told that it would not
unless the Independents were better or
ganized. Nevertheless, the independ-
ents held a mass meeting last week and
speeches were delivered urging the men
to go out on strike.
Henry White, general secretary of the
United Garment Workers says;
THE Independents asked US several
times to stand by them in a strike; but
we told them that they must first be
organized thoroughly. I believe that
the men will strike, but strikes of the
East side have always been costly af-
fairs, and I do not think that we will
have anything to do with the coming
strike. The men will probably win, as
this is the busy season, but in six
weeks they will lose all the ground that
come lax and careless after a victory

COOK CAN'T SPOIL.
Grape-Nuts Need No Cooking ana

People want food that has a paIata-

strong one in Grape-Nuts, the new
breakfast food, made by Postum Co.,
Battle Greek, Mich.
No cooking is required, hence the
taste is not dependent upon the cook.

STRIKE AT TRUST MILL.
Causes It to Be Closed Forever by the
Management

Lisbon. O., July 1O..-The skilled work
men in the local tin mill went out on "a
strike today for the recognition of the
union. As result every department of
the plant is stopped and 500 men are idle.
A branch of the amalgamated association
was organized, although the mill had
been paying the scale. The trust man
ager in charge of the mill announced that
it would never be run as a union mill,
and in view of the strike it is probable
that the plant will be abandoned. The
men had been warned what action would
be taken in case of a strike or attempt
to force a recognition of the union.

Hundreds of Indians Gather at De-
catur, Neb, For Summer Festivities.
Decatur, Neb., July 1O.-The annual
Indian powwow opened at this place
yesterday. This is the big event among
the redskins in this part of the country.
and there were a large number on
hand to enter upon the festivities, which
will last for two weeks. Delegations
from the Omaha reservation and from
some of the South Dakota tribes have
been coming in for several days, and
there are not less than 200 abOrigines
present. They have brought their tents
along with them, and these make quite
a village, pitched out on the prairie.
The big man is Yellow Smoke. a noted
chief, who resides on the Omaha reser-
walton and the ceremonies are being
conducted near his lodge. Chiefs and
squaWs take part in the powwow and
are having a great time with their in
carnations and dances. Thus far the
Indians are peaceable and there is little
probability of trouble.
