Wardner, Ida, April 26.-The first

suddenly been turned into an armed
camp.
The strikers We're in session all night
long at their hall At $50 o'clock a
compact body of men headed by Pres

They halted short ristance from the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan.
Soon after in little lunches up came
the non-union miners to go to work.
They We're stopped by the strikers and
President Boyes urged them not to go
to work. One or two of the non-union
men tried to push through the crowd
of strikers, but We're forced back with
the remark that the union did not in
tend that they should go to work. Then
L. 5. Murray, a Smooth-faced leader of
the strikers, pulled big revolver which
he levelsd at a bunch of Bunker Hill
employees.
III tell you what the proposition is,
he shouted. You walk down that hill

He drew his watch and as he count
ed the seconds the working mixers fall
tered and started down the hill. A half
dozen Of them went into Blacks board
ing house on the main street of the
town. They were pursued into the
house by strikers.
What will we do with these d
scabs," shouted somebody.
Run them down the canyon" was
the reply.

WESTERN BANKS TO FIGHT.
They VIII Ask IA Uniform Rule for
Check Charges.

New York, Aug 11.-There promises to
be a. lively time at the annual meeting of
the American Bankers Association next
month. for it is the intention of many
Western bankers to force an issue on the
question Of charges for the collection of
checks.
Some of them have already given notice
to the officers of the association that they
will offer a plan to establish a uniform
system OF charges throughout the country,
thereby hoping to place New York city
on the same level as other cities, taking
away the advantage which it now enjoys.
Their aim is said to be to upset the sys-
TEN of charges for the collection Of So
called country checks instituted by the
New York Clearing House Association on
April / last, which reused a storm OF OPP
position from all parts of the country.
According to the plan devised by the
New York banks there were several dis
cretionary' cities in the East, including
Boston, Troy, Providence, Albany, Phila-
delphia, Newark, Baltimore, and Jersey
City, where clearing house members might
do as they pleased as to making a charge
for check collecting.
In the case of all other cities and To-
calities a charge of from one-tenth to one
fourth of one per cent of the amount ot
the check nau 10 De cHdIBeu- luis Nds
regarded az a discrimination against some
of the large Western cities, as well as
against the South.
When the New York rules went into eff
feet some persons pretended to figure ou
a profit of a million dollars or more {
wear TO the New York banks, but thi!
was denied by the banks. They declared
that they had been out of pocket previous
~ and that the charge levied did not muci
more than reimburse them for the cost o
collection.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE fact that Liv-
erpool is responding promptly to the hard
ening of the local cotton market is not
to be overlooked. Some people are to-
tally disregarding the Government report

which they assert indicate bullish situ-
alton in most sections. The condition out

tention, but until rains are reported there
bulls are likely TO maintain their grip on
the market, 1t is believed.
A rise of TO points was the feature OF
the early market. Gables were consid-
erably higher and the weather map showed
an absence of the slightest moisture In
Texas. This enabled bulls to make further
headway. There was heavy Continental
buying. but traders held back In the hope
of a lower market on which TO buy. Ca

showed how one sided the market had be-

those who had considered the Government
figures bullish. Liverpool was not quite
holding its own. Hailstorms in North Da-
kota yesterday are credited with loss Of
over 100000 bushels of spring wheat.
Shippers declared the cash situation was
more encouraging.
No one considered the Government report
on corn anything but bearish, suggesting
yield of considerable over 1000, 900 900

The continuance of the advance in the
price of cotton is considered by many a
bullish factor for the Southern and South
western railways ten million bale crop
at better prices than have prevailed during
the past year would undoubtedly help those
sections, and their railways in much the
same way that good grain crops at fair
prices have helped the West and the grang-
er lines. Conservative people have been
most optimistic regarding the securities
OF these lines already on account of their
large increases in earnings during the past
year.

While in Congress Mr.. Sherman made
very little reputation as humorist, but
a flash of mother wit on one occasion
brought him out of an unpleasant position
with much credit. The occurrence was
early in Mr. Sherman's career. 1t was
when he went to Kansas, the member of
Congressional committee, to investigate
the conditions there. preceding the civil
war. The Southerners were trying to in
troduce slavery. while the libsrty-loving
sons of Massachusetts were practicing
expansion with sharp rifles and abolition
tracts The presence of Mr.. Sherman aud
the committee was resented by the South
erners, who threatened personal violence.
What happened on the occasion referred
to is told in Mr.. Sherman's own words:
Zone day man entered the room and
began to swear .at the committee He
abused it in the most profane manner, and
he was evidently spelling for a fight. We
had a stenographer with us, and, as soon
as the man began to talk l made a motion
to him to take down his words. He did
SO, and after the rufian had gone on for
about ten minutes called hat and told
him that he had made himself Liable to ar
rest. l thereupon asked him II he knew
what he had been saying. and called upon
the stenographer to read his notes. Short
hand was then unknown in the West, and,
as the man heard his exact words, his Jaw
fell, his face paled, and he asked the
amanuensis to let him see the paper. 1t
was shown to him. He looked at it for a
moment and then frantically tearing his
hair, he exclaimed: Snakes, by Caesar!'
and rushed from the room. We did not
see him again during the Investigation"
