DEATH UNDER THE WHEELS.
Andrew Olson Struck by Moving
Train Sunday Morning.
Madison, May 8.

Madison, May g.
About 5 o'clock Sunday morning An.
drew Olson, a young married man en-
ploye1 at the Fuller & Johnson works,
was struck ana instantly killed by the
south-bound passenger train on the
Northwestern road, on the railway
bridge over the Yahara river, in the
eastern part of the city. He was at the
north end of the bridge, just outside
the south-bound track. \ freight train
was passing, bound north at the time
The engineer of the passenger train
blew the danger signal and Olson evil
IDENTIFY became disconnected, or tried to
jump across the track, there being a
steep embankment on the other side.
He was struck by the engine and
thrown first against the end Of the iron
railing which borders the bridge on
each side. Marks on this railing show
that he was thrown against it three
times, and carried almost across the
bridge, before he was finally dropped
on the rail in front of the engine and
cut in two, his body being terribly
mangled. The train was stopped as
quickly as possible, and the remains
picked up and brought to the depot,
where the patrol wagon was sum-
moned and they were taken to Fitch S
morgue.
Olson with two companions, Nels
Estlind and Ole Peterson, started out
early Sunday morning after carp. They
had not found any, and separated, Est
lind and Peterson going east on the
Portage track to look into some ponds,
while Olson went down to the bridge;
he had just reached it, but had not yet
started to cross it when he was struck.
Olson was about 80 years old, and
leaves a widow and child about a
year old. He formerly lived at %
North Blair street, but had recently
moved into one of the Fuller & John
son company's houses on East Dayton
street. He had been member of the
Modern Woodmen, and carried an IN
surance policy with them for $4,000,
but when work was slack last summer
his funds ran low and he allowed the
policy to lapse. He had also been a
member of the Fuller e Johnson Re
lief association, but allowed his dues
in this to lapse about the same time.
His family is left in destitute circum-
stances.
An inquest was held Monday after
noon by Coroner Lynch, the jurors be-
ing Maurice Coughlin, Andrew Kentz-
ler NJ. H. Ashley, James NJ. Sumner,
William Boyd and B. H. Nienaber. The
crews Of three trains were called as
witnesses and the jury returned a YER
dict that Olson's death was Que to his
own carelessness.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
morning, at 10 o'clock, from F'itch's
undertaking establishment

Manila, May Maj. Gen. Lawton's
column advanced to a position 21a
miles north of Balinag Saturday. Be
fore making a forward movement
Gen. Lawton sent back to Manila two
wounded men of the Minnesota regi-
ment and one Of the Oregonians, who
were hurt in Fridays fighting, besides
20 sick men.
Gen. LaWton's advance met with but
slight opposition. Outside of Maasin
1000 rebels who occupied an en-
trenched position were routed in short
order.
Many corpses Of rebels have been
discovered in the river at San Tomas.
Scores of rifles and other arms have
been recovered from the river, into
which they were thrown by the re-
treating rebels.

resting at San Fernando, making in

up guerilla warfare. The main body
of the rebels is now passing from the
| province Of Bulacan, in which the re-
| cent operations have been conducted
| to that Of Nueva Ecija. San Isioro
where the insurgents under Luna are
now said to be concentrating, is further

proach it's coast without danger
Where the winus do not strike, there
and small game finds shelter. Rice
sugar and much tobacco are raised on
the plains. Most of the farmers are
infidels, who have no relations with
the Christian communities, and whose
number is unknown. These people are
said to be hostile to the Tagals and
are likely to give Aguinaldo much
trouble, independently of the American
troops.
San Ildefonso, the town to which
Gen. LaWton has sent Col. Sumner, is
Al miles from Malolos. The popula-
ton is $500. The province of Pula-

Chicago, May 9.-Representatives OF
more than a score of the leading
pillow manufacturing concerns of the
United States met Monday and vir-
tually completed the organization OF
the combination into which it is pro-
posed ultimately to take all the man
ufacturers of agricultural implements.
The committees on temporary organi-
cation, formed some time ago, have
been at work upon the matter in New
York and elsewhere. The capltal1za-
ton of the new combination is placed
at over S65,00O,000. The concerns
taken in at the meeting held Monday
are said to be the Moline PloW com
pany, Deere & Company, Peru Pillow
and Wheel company, Sattley Manufac-
turing Co., Pekin Pillow company,
Rock Island Pillow Co., Fuller and
Johnson Manufacturing Co., J.
|. Case Pillow works, Bucher
and Gibbs PIoW company,
St. Joseph Manufacturing company,
Syracuse Chilled Plowed company
Gale Manufacturing company, Morrl-
son Manufacturing company Grand
Detour Pillow company, David Bradley
Manufacturing company, Kingman
Pillow company, Parlin and Orendorf
company. 1t is understood the Oliver
Chilled Pillow company of South Bend
which did not enter the movement az
it's inception, has joined the other pillow
manufacturers which practically
makes a solid combine throughout the
west. 1t is understood that c. H
Deere has been elected president of the
combination. The largo capitalization
of the new corporation is said not tc
be in excess of the value of the plants
included in the plan. Much of the cap
ital is tied up in patterns, dies anC
special machinery. 1t is estimated
that the valuation placed on this kline
OF property exceeds $30,000,000 an(
might easily run up to $45, 100000.

EVILS OF PRISON LABOR.
Contractors Pay Well for Long Time
COnvicts-Cigarmakers and Courts.

Washington. May 9.-Joseph T. Nc
Donough, secretary of the state Of New
York, and for some years commission
er Of labor of that state, was before
the industrial commission Monday
McDonOugh's testimony dealt with
the improvements due to the amend
ment of the state constitution taking
the products Of prison labor out Of
the open market. He said the change
had benefited the state and that 1t
had reduced the number Of prisoners
in the state penitentiaries. Under the
old system of letting prison labor out
on contract, the contractors were in
the habit of offering rewards amount
ing to as much as 500 for long term
prisoner in good condition. Under
the new order of things such condi-
tons could not exist. McDOnough
said that prison labor products should
be identified as such and their trans
portation between states should be
prohibited by congressional enactment
Ex-President Adolph Strasser, of the
International Cigarmakers' union, OPP
posed the incorporation of trades
unions on the ground that by incorpo-
ration they would render themselves
liable to be brought into the courts
and" he said, Eve can't expect JUS
tice at the hands of courts" Strasser
denied that substitutes for tobacco
we're ever used in making cigars.

taliatory measures. The under secre-
tary of state Of foreign affairs, Brod-

diate action
