SPlRlTUALISTS AT OUTS
Lawyer E. E. Chesney Is Sum-
marily Expelled From
the Society.

There is trouble among the Spiritual
lists of Topeka Charges have been
made by members of the First society
of Spiritualists which holds its meetings
in Lincoln Post hall, against E. E.
Chesney, who is one of the most prom
inent lecturers on Spiritualism in Kan
sas, and resolutions expelling him from
the society have been passed by the
board of directors.
The peculiar feature about the action
is that Mr.. Chesney says he is not
member of the First society of Spirit
ualists and never has been, and there
fore the society has authority to ex-
pei him from its membership. He says
he belongs to the Kansas State Spirit
ualist society, which holds its meetings
at 1872 Kansas avenue.
The charge against Mr.. CheSney is
that he has acted in a manner unworthy
of a good spiritualist in dealings with
members of the First society. II: b.
Van Voorhis, president of the society,
makes the principal aff1davits. Mrs. c.
B. Caldwell, a widow, also makes an
affidavit.
These affidavits were placed before
committee consisting of G. H. Goodwin,
NJ Hammond, P. Chi1son, Mrs. Tracy
and c. w. Pensyl, members of the First
society, and Mr.. Chesney was notified
to appear before the committee on June
IA to defend himself. He did not appear
and the committee postponed the meet
ing until last Sunday. Again Mr.. Ches-
ney did not appear and they proceeded
to pass a resolution to erase his name
from the society record and notify all
other Spiritualists of their action.
But the trouble has not been dropped
with that.
Both Major Van Voorhis and Mrs.
Caldwell have made affidavitS and
threaten to bring an action in the dis
trict court to disbar Mr.. CheSney from
the practice of law. Both aff1davits
are lengthy.
Mr.. Chesney refuses to discuss the
trouble further than to say that the
First Society of Spiritualists has no
jurisdiction over him, as he does not
belong to that society, and that Major
Van Voorhis has always been stirring
up strife.
IF they want to take it to the courts,
will talk then" said Mr.. Chesney.

ALGER MUST QUIT.
Has Promised to Work For the Pin
gree Delegation.

Washington, June Ex-Governor Pin
gree's official announcement of the COM
pact between himself and Secretary of
War Alger, whereby he is to promote
the candidacy of the latter for United
States senator, was received here with
interest. 1t is claimed by the adherents
of Senator Mcmillan that while Cover
nor Pingree was apparently frank in his
announcement, he stopped short of the
most interesting point. They claim that
a clause in the compact binds Secretary
Alger to work for a Michigan delega-
ton to the next Republican national
convention which will cast a compliment
tary vote for Pingree as the Republican
national standard bearer. Governor
Pingree appreciates the fact that Nc
Kinley will be the nominee of the con-
vention, they claim, but as his ambi-
tions run, he wants to make the race
in 1904, and desires in the coming con-
vention a complimentary mention that
will place him in the list of presidential
possibilities four years hence.
1t is said that Secretary Ayers ac-
Quiescence in this clause will hasten
the date of his retirement from the cab
met, because it will be manifestly i'm
possible for him to remain as secretary
of war in McKinley's cabinet while he
is working for a Pingree delegation for
the next Republican convention.

HOW M'TAGGART FELL.
Story Told by a Comrade in a Letter
to Independence.

McTaggart's death in a letter just re-

count received of how McTaggart fell.
He says:
when the excitement was at the
highest point, General Wheaton and
Colonel Funston, who had just been

BIG CHICAGO STRIKE.
Sapt- Miller Expects Stock Yards to
Be Closed Tighter Than a Drum.

Chicago. June 24.-Fully 10000 en-
ployes of the stock yards are threatened
with enforced idleness. One thousand
men are now out in the various pack
ing houses. The firms affected are Ar
mour & Co, Nelson Morris & Co, T. J.
Upton & Co, Swift & Co, the Interna-
tional Packing company and the Chi
cago Packing and Provision company.
The strikers include labOrers, shacklers,
sausage trimmers, Smoke-hOuSe men,
truckmen, platform men and cutters.
At Armour's not a hog or any other
animal was killed today, and the COM
mission men, railroad people and those
engaged in provisions are beginning to
view the situation with alarm.
The strikers demand a horizontal in
crease in wages of % cents per day. In
1898 they suffered a reduction of 10 per
cent. and the employers are now ready
to restore the old rate, they say, but the
men who now draw $1.5O per day want
more than that would give them, and
the better paid men are out in sym
pathy. The strikers deny that they
were offered a restoration of the rates
prevailing before 1898.
I expect to see the stock yards closed
up tighter than drum" said Supt
Miller, of the International company.

Closing of Ore Producing Mines
Affect Thousands.
The Plants Around GaIena EN-
pIOy About 5000 Men.
SHUT DOWN TONIGHT.
Battle Between Mine Owners
and Shelters Bitter.
Neither Side Shows Any Incli-
nation to Yield.

Galena, June 24.-All of the large ore
producing plants of the Galena and of
the Missouri and Kansas districts will
shut down tonight until July 10, in re-
Spouse to a call from President Strick-
Ter of the Galena branch of the Missouri
and Kansas Zinc Miners association.
The following is a partial list of the
producers who will close down: En-.
Badger. McCullagh , NJ. X, Monte
CriStO and others. The reason for the
shutdown is that the SmelterS have re-
fused for the last week to buy the ore
on prices made by the association. The
prices made by the association are
based on the ST. Louis smelter market,
and as the association controls the out
put the members think they can force
the smelter people to come to their
prices. In case their prices are not paid
they will perfect the arrangements now
pending to export the ore product of
fattering propositions and different
railroads and steamship companies
have made them good rates to take
their ore across the ocean.
There will be a trial shipment of 1000
tons of so per cent ore in a short time
for Europe and it will be paid for at
association prices.
One argument the association has
that spelter should be 81 or more higher
and zinc ore accordingly in the United
States than in England is on account of
the tariff. And metal 81 higher at pres
ent would give $50 jack. To get the full
benefit of the tariff is one of the objects
of the association as we'll as to get
what the ore is worth and give the
smelters a profit besides.
The price offered this week by smell
tiers is 81 below association prices. The
smelter people are putting up a stiff
fight. They claim they can get ore to
run on from small operators not in the
association. But the large producers
will arrange for the small ones. This
will be a contest between capital and
capital. but labor will suffer on both
sides of the question. A two weeks
shut down Of large plants means from
5000 to 5000 laborers out of work.

FARMER A BIGAMIsT.
James Swallow Has More Wives
Than the Law Allows.

Kansas City, June 24-Either James
Swallow, young farmer who lives a
few miles west Of Kansas City, Kan,
is the victim of a very peculiar chain
of circumstances, or he has no regard
for the law which provides that each
man must content himself with one
wife. A warrant is now out for the ar
rest of Swallow on the charge of big
amy, but he is yet free, awaiting
further developments in the case.
The young farmer claims that the
former reason is responsible for his
trouble. Hearing his first wife was
dead, he claims and believing the re-
port without investigating it, he mar
ried again, and before his honeymoon
is hardly over comes the announcement
that his other spouse is still in the
land of the living and he is a bigamist.
He says that he may be the victim Of
a plot.
About four years ago this summer,
Swallow, then a motorman on the L
road was married to Miss Laura Rob
erts of Kansas City, Kan The couple
lived together for something over
year, apparently we'll satisfied with their
lot. They began to quarrel, however,
and soon separated, Swallow going to
the country and his wife again making
her home with her parents.
In the spring of 1898 Mrs. Swallow
went to St. Louis, and soon after that
her husband received a letter, supposed
to have been written by a woman
friend of his wife, telling of the death
of his spouse. He took it for granted
that the report was true, and a few
months later began paying court to Miss
Anna Butterwick, the daughter of
neighboring farmer On May 20 last
they were married by a Kansas City,
Kan, preacher. On taking out the Ii
cense Swallow made an affidavit that
his first wife was dead.
1t developed that wife No. 1 Is not
dead, however, and a few days ago she
telling him of the case, and, it is said,
offering to let the matter drop if Swal-
low would contribute to her support.
Instead of showing the letter to the
young farmer the lawyer informed the
father of the second wife in the case.
Butterwick confronted his sOn-in-law
with the evidence and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION. Swallow appeared greatly
surprised when told that his first wife
was alive, and showed the letter an
nouncing her death. This failed to quiet
the irate parent, who at once went be-
fore Judge Donoho in Kansas City,
Kan, and swore out a warrant for the
arrest of his daughters husband
Constable McFadden was given the
warrant to serve yesterday morning.
He drove out to Swallows home and
there a consultation was held. 1t was
Ond wife separate and leave Swallow
free pending the developments in the
case. His only course will be to Sc
cure a divorce from his first wife.
Swallow and his second wife seem
to be broken hearted over the turn of
affairs. He has always borne good
reputation and the general opinion is
that he is the victim of circumstances
or of a plot on the part of his first wife,

feeders have borrowed in this market
at 4 per cent.
Yet it was only four years ago that
the United States had to sell its bonds
on an interest about one-half of 1 per
cent higher than the rate now paid by
Chicago and within easy reach of the
memory of the present generation far
mers who wanted to feed cattle in Ne
braska and Kansas had to pay almost
as much per month as they now pay
per year.
The west ought to get full benefit of
the present abundance of capital, for
the west made it. If money is now loan
ing in Chicago cheaper than in Berlin
and nearly as cheap as in London the
elemental reason for that condition lies
in the fact that in twenty-four months
the United States has sold to Europe
a thousand million dollars worth of
breadstuffs and provisions. mostly
grown in the west. 1t is this $1,000, 0O0,-
900 of victuals exported in the last two
fiscal years that laid the foundation Of
the country's new prosperity.
