Over at the Butte & Boston smelter In
Meaderville yesterday there was just a
little ''speck' of trouble, which but for
the cool counsel of the management might

seems that one of the employees at a fur
mace, a white man, was discharged ana
his place was filled by a colored man.
The other employees Of the smelter imme-
diately quit work. and a consultation with
the boss followed. The men argued that
there was really no cause for discahrg-

Dakota These were kept in the corral
until the corral was fun. then the bunch
would be started out. closely herded night
and day by the horse wranglers.
1T was an exciting time when 800 or COO
wild geldings were let out of the corral.
The men would saddle their very best
either side of the corral. The
gate of the corral was then
opened Out would come the horses.
wild with fright, and eager for liberty.
Al the wranglers could do was to ride at
their sides and behind them, keeping tho
herd headed in the desired direction. There,
is nothing prettier on earth than a great
band of horses in fun flight Their hoof-.
beats on the prairie sound like rolling
thunder and the earth shakes when they
pass. At the first burst they go like thu
wind and it takes a good rider and good
horse to keep anywhere near them. Their
names and tails are so long, their eyes are
bright and keen, and they are accustomed
TO racing across the broken country. They
run for several hours after leaving the,
corral. Then they quiet down and thea
horse herders ride them around in a cir.
Gle holding them until another bunch
comes from She corral the next day.
Sometimes 1900 of these wild geldings,
would be gathered before the start was
made for Dakota, and the herders had
their hands full day and night. 1t was
all excitement, for men were roping and
riding wild horses all the time, to take this
places of those which We're played out ON
the drive Behind the herd followed the
four-horse grub wagon, with the cook and
camp outfit, but meals were mighty irreg-
ular, and a man was lucky if he found
his bed at night.
after a few days driving the horsea
would become quiet and The work was
easier, and by the time the herd had
reached Devils Lake, n. D., some of the
widest were almost tame. There used tor
be a great deal of trouble about stealing
horses on these drives, for If the herd
happened across a little bunch of horses
somewhere on the prairie the bunch was
very apt to be absorbed by the drive and
the rancher would never hear of it again..
Some ranchers used TO go to the roundup,
lust to see that none of their horses were.
driven away, and others would follow the
drive through their own ranges to keep
their horses from joining the emigration
to Dakota. Sometimes few horse owners
would combine and hire a man just 10
follow these drives and bring back stolen
stock There used to be a killing once in
while over some $25 cayuse, but not very
often. They weren't worth enough.
These drives are not made nowadays
because there is no market for this kind
of horse anywhere. In some parts of tho
Northwest they do not even brand the
colts. A herd of 10000 head of these
horses was sold in oregon a few years
ago for $4,000, or 81 a head. They are
disappearing, however, because the ranch
ers had to improve the stock to make it
nav to care for it. and the average range
horse of to-day is from 200 to 500 pounds
heavier than the range horse of twelve or
fifteen years ago."

PICTURES SENT BY WIRE.
Experiments show They Can De
Transmitted Successfully.

transmitted Successfully.
Cleveland, June PA series of long
distance experiments and exhibitions have
recently taken place over the Wires of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, the
last occurring within the past few days
between Cleveland and st. Louis, when
a number of well known people of this
city were present.
Among the pictures received during this
test were those of Rear Admiral schiey,
General Manager Melville E. Stone of the
Associated Press and J. C. Barclay, cleo
triciau of the Western division of the
Western Union Telegraph Company. Tel
egraph electricians and others who were
present at this test are a unit in express
ing their belief that the machines viii do
all that is claimed for them.
1t may be added that printed or writ
ten matter can be transmitted and repro
dueed much more rapidly than pictures,
though only a few moments are consum-
ed in transmitting a cabinet size picture
In transmitting a picture 1t is first
stereotyped on a flexible metal plate. The
outlines of the picture are exposed while
the remainder of the surface of the plate
is covered with a non conductive paint
The plate is placed around a cylinder
and the machine. which is operated by
an electric motor, is started. The arm
bearing the tracer has its base upon a
very finely threaded rod and gradually
moves to the left until the entire picture
has been covered by the tracer.
Both sending and receiving machines
are governed by a simple synchronizing
arrangement, so that both machines are
regulated In their speed automatically,
and must run exactly together. The
tracer al the sending point controls the
current on the wire and closes the cir
cult whenever it comes inlo contact with
the exposed lines of the picture.
At the receiving end the apparatus is
similar to that at the transmitting point,
the projecting arrangement over the cyl
inder however, is provided with a stylus
controlled by an ordinary telegraph
sounder. Around the cylinder Is wrapped
several sheets of paper with carbon copy
ing sheets between them. The sounder
bearing stylus closes down on the cylin-
der and copying paper, recording the most
minute line in the original picture as the
tracer at the sending point passes over
them.
In transmitting written or printed mat
ter the process is the same, as above
noticed, except that the copy Is either
written or copied on flexible brass or
metal plate, the circuit being broken
whenever the tracer strikes the ink,
which is conductive. In this case
the receiving instrument is reversed so
that 1t records on the paper the opening
instead of the closing of the circuit.
1t is claimed that by using an enlarged
cylinder a half, or over full, newspaper
page or matrix form, can be placed in
a transmitting machine, operated say.
in New York or Chicago, and reproduced
simultaneously in practically all of the
leading cities of the country in very
few minutes.

GIRLS STRIKE is STILL ON.
They VIII Organize and Hold Out
for Their Demands.

Richmond, Va, June 24-While the
strike of about LEGO of the girls employed
at the Whitlock branch of the American
Tobacco Company, is still on, the chances
seem to be that at least half, if not more,
of the employees viii return to work Mon
day morning, and that matters will final
ly be adjusted to the satisfaction of all
concerned. A committee of ministers has
interested itself in the matter, and is en-
deavoring to bring about a settlement.
The strikers to-day held mass meetings,
both in the afternoon and the night, and
speeches were made by w. H. Mullen, A.
B. Mccullough and other labor men,
strongly urging the girls 10 organize and
stand out for their rights.
The afternoon meeting was made espe-
cially lively by Mr.. Mullen's criticism Of
the ministers who had agreed to serve as
arbitrator for the girls. Rev. r. B.
Collar made a very sharp reply 10 Mr.
Mullen. and for a time there was a good
deal of excitement.
At to-night's meeting a number OF the
girls held a conference, decided to con-
tnue the strike and appointed commit
tees to make a canvass looking to organi-
cation.
Mr. Whitlock said tonight that none Of
the leaders would be taken back.

Sept. 90. Gov. James A. Mount of In

already formed from seeking by arbitrary
methods to control the price of any arti-
Gle of merchandise or commerce that en-
tiers into trade and consumption among
our people. In a multitude of council
there is wisdom. Such a meeting, char
acterized by moderation of speech, by
wisdom of action, yet fearless for the
right may be able to reach such conclu-
sions as will result in the enactment of
wise laws by the states, as we'll as sug-
gestions of needed legislation by Con-
