TYPHOID FEVER
AT CHEYENNE

Cheyenne, Wyo., Oct. 1J.-The alarm
over the present epidemic of typhoid
fever Is increasing. Since yesterday
two persons have died of the disease,
one being Herman Haas, machin-
ist. and the other the young son of
Mrs. Weybrecht, making three vic
tins of typhoid fever in the city. The
physicians are completely worn out
from ovcrwork and loss of sleep and
the situation does not improve. The
people are now taking every precau-
ton to prevent the disease spreading
but new cases are reported at the
rate of twenty or thirty daily.
Expert Mitchell. who was brought
from Denver TO investigate the stu
ton, says there is no doubt in the
world about the disease being typhoid.
After making careful investigation
he made several suggestions looking to
the improvement of the sanitation of
the city and these will be carried out
TO the letter.
1t Is difficult TO estimate the num-
ber of persons III at this time in the
city but physicians say there are no
less than 600 cases. The hospitals are
full TO overilowing and In some homes
the entire family are down with the
disease.
1t is reported that the same condl-
tions prevail at Casper, Douglas. Lar
annie. Rawllns AMI other towns In the
southern part OF the state. Physicians
say n severe wind or snow storm
would clear the atmosphere and put
n stop to the spreading of typhoid.
With the exception OF two days i'm
mediately following the celebration OF
Frontier days, there has been no wind
in this section 10 speak OF since last
spring.

SAYS PRISONERS CONFESSION
IMPLICATES GOVERNOR TAYLOR

Georgetown, KY, Oct. 16.-The Yout-
sey trial was resumed yesterday, Judge
Cantrill having refused q continuance,
although YOutsey was reported in the
same condition as last week. His room
door was opened and his bed pulled up
in plain view and hearing Of the jury,
and while the witnesses were being ex-
amined Youtsey could be heard call
ing his wife's name in hollow, moan
ing voice, and she could be seen sitting
on his bed.
The feature of the day was the tes-
timony of Arthur Goebel, brother Of
the murdered man. He told of going to
the Jail the day Youtsey was arrested,
and then said:
II put my left hard on Mr.. Youtsey's
right shoulder and said: Mr.. YOutsey,
Colonel Campbell has just returned and
told me what you have said to him,
and have come over to have you tell
me what you have told him, to tell me
whether 1t is true, and to ask you n
few other questions.
"Mr. Youtsey said: Yes, Mr.. Goebel.
what have said to Colonel Campbell
Is true
"Youtsey proceeded and said: Just
as l told Colonel Campbell, had
talk with Dick Cooms Monday morning
and he told me he was ready to do the
shooting and l went to Caleb Powers
for the key to his office, and he told me
to go to John Powers. / went to John
Powers, and John Powers gave me the
key. l went to Governor Taylor and 1
told Governor Taylor that Dick Cooms
was ready to do the shooting. Gov
ernor Taylor said: You ought not to
come to see me about this. have been
expecting this to be done for some time,
but object to having Il negro do it. 1t
is too important piece Of work. Cooms
may be n spy, and he may betray us."'
"Youtsey hesltated. and said: Very
well, what did you do neXt?'
"Youtsey said: L left Governor Tay-
lor, and Tuesday morning l went back
to Governor Taylor. said to him:
''The man to do the shooting is now
here."'
II interrupted Youtsey there, and l
said: You have told Colonel Campbell
the name Of that man, and that is one
reason why l came over here to see
you. Now, If you know that much, you
can also give me the name of the man.
aHl Mr.. Ioutsey said: We'll, i told him
Jim Howard was here: that thought
he got here Monday night

BOTH SIDES OF
THE COAL STRIKE

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. ia canvass
Of the operators of the Wyoming valley
to-day shows that there Is considerable
opposition to granting any more con-
cessions than those outlined In the orig
lnal offer, namely ten per cent. increase
without any conditions. The individ-
ual operators especially are opposed to
tying themselves up to any agreement.
One operator said the only way the
strike can be settled is for the strikers
to accept the ten per cent. without any
provisions.
Superintendent Chase of the I,ehigh
Coal Company said: "The demand of
the strikers that the operators should
ngree to pay the increased wages for n
fixed period is too arbitrary and the
operators will hardly agree to it."
Despite the views Of operators the i'm
preston here is that the strike will be
ended this week.
ShamOkin, Pa, Oct. 15-The terms
OF the Scranton convention are not ac-
ceptable to the operators and represen-
tatlves of coal carrying companies in
this place and Mount Carmel. The
Reading officials do not think the slid
Ing scale will be abolished by the COM
pss'ss NhhN ult uNclSt "
signing contract binding them to pay
the ten per cent. increase until April.
Scranton, Pa, Oct. 15.-The United
Mine Workers officials say they are
now again waiting on the operators,
and that they will continue to close the
collieries that have been in operation
since the strike began four weeks ago.
There are many reports in circulation
that If the strike continues much longer
break in the ranks of the idle nen
will occur.
President Mitchell and his associate
officials, however, reassert their conf
dence that the men, both union and
non-union, will remain away from the
mines until after the strike is declared
of.
There Is fear prevalent in this re-
gion that IL some of the men do return
to work trouble would probably arise
through the efforts of the strikers to
persuade the men to remain on strike.
All the cOllleries that are working
still retain heavy guards.
Shamokin, Pa, Oct 15.-Miners say
they will not go to work until officially
advised by President Mitchell.

MARK HANNA CALLED OFF.

Mark Hanna's career as spell
an individual than William Mckinley.
For the first time in the campaign 1t
is said Mckinley has found 1t neces-
sary to interfere with his campaign
manager in any way. But Hanna in
few brief efforts was having such a
disastrous effect among the working
men and farmers in Indiana, Illinois
and other states where the trust is
not admired that the presidential
candidate found 1t necessary in the in
terest of the party. not to say any
thing of himself. to interfere and call
off Mr.. Hanna's dates as "spellbind-
er" much to the disappointment Of Ma
tional Chairman Jones of the Demo-
cratic committee. AS result Mr.
Hanna will devote his. undivided time
to the management of the contributed
campaign fund where, in his opinion,
it will do the most good.
The main cause of the trouble was
Mr. Hanna's speech in Chicago in
which he made the statement, Il do
not believe there is trust in the Unit
ed States" From all over the country
kilograms and letters of protest pour
ed in on the president against such
foolish statements, even though made
by The Boss" and Mckinley could
not let them go unheeded however
much he approved Marks assertions.
AS consequence Mark Hanna was
told plainly that he must make no
more speeches without first submit
ting what he is going to say to rigid
censorship and that he must not at
tempt to make the Dakota and Ne
braska trip he had planned under any
circumstances As n matter Of fact,
Senator Hanna was a little dubious
about attempting to make any cam
paign speeches until Perry Heath and
Congressman Lands of Indiana urged
him to speak at Delphi. His reception
there appealed to his vanity. The fiat
terry of the Republican papers turned
his head and he was induced to make
a second trial before the Commercial
Mems Club at Chicago at MONDAY
meeting. lhere was Where he got into
trouble. He believed that 1t was up to
him to say something about trusts.
and he did so with vengeance He
launched forth in a challenge to Mr..
Bryan to tell him what a trust was
and then followed with the assertion
that there were no trusts in the coun-
try and finally concluded this phase of
his address with bold statement that
the only trusts he was aware existed in
this country were the cotton bail trust
and the ice trust, which he said GER
tain Democratic politicians were sup
posed to be interested in.
Democrats all over the country will
regret Mr. Hanna's downfall as SPELL
binder.
But we still have Teddy Roosevelt
and Senator Stewart left.

P. E. Dowie. member of the execu-
tive committee of the National Demo-
cratic Travelling Mems association, and
OF the Commercial Travellers Anti
Trust League, arrived in Chicago yes
terday. He has just completed an ex-
tensive tour Of Missouri, Nebraska and
Iowa
I have recently discovered" said
Mr.. Dowie. "A gigantic conspiracy to
rob the farmers of the country. This
latest product of monopoly includes in
Its membership about 600 big grain
dealers and elevator men in the terri
tory extending from st. Paul on the
north to Kansas City on the south,
including the states of Wisconsin Min
neSota, North and South Dakota. Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas.
"All the 600 and more members of
thia newest thing In trusts are pledged
to buy grain at one and half cents
low. that is below the cash price. and
to store for not less than one and n
half cents profit The association en-
cheering the scheme Is to fix the SELL
ing price. Forty per cent of the profits
are to go to the association. the bal
ance going to the dealers who are par
ties to the swindle.
Have Signed Contracts.
Grain dealers in the sections where
duced to sign contracts and regular
system of inspection guarantees
against cutting prices. Grain stations
are established here and there. and at
each station the trust has an agent
who has authority to inspect the books
OF any member of the association. A
membership fee of $50 is charged. A
fine of 800 is imposed If the agreement
is broken. and $50 is charged for re-
instating a member who has violated
any of the terms of the pact
On its part, the association guaran-
the agreement,protectio from changes
In the ownership OF elevators where
they may have their grain stored. II
an elevator attempts to break away
or to run independent, they guarantee
to have its supply of cars shut off. so
that 1t cannot ship grain to market in
opposition to the trust.
Promoted by Republicans
Since discovered the conspiracy, n
few days since. have been collecting
information concerning it. l ascer-
tained today that the promoter and
organizer of the trust is an ardent Re-
publican and superintendent OF one of
the largest elevators In the country.
The practical workings of this COM
bination to rob the farmer are not diff
ficult to see. By getting all the grain
dealers of community enrolled as
members, 1t is impossible for the farm
ers of that section to sell to anyone
outside the trust or to ship their grain
away. They must stand the loss OF a
cent and half bushel on the price
OF their grain in order to find n mar
ket- am not ready to give the names,
but will do so soon"
1t is said that the new movement 10
compel the farmers OF the states men
TONED to accept less than the market
price to realize on their crops had Its
inception in Chicago. and that several
OF the big elevator men and grain deal
ers are interested in it.

II asked: What else did Taylor sayT
Youtsey said: Governor Taylor walked
up and down the floor and said: "Yout-
sey, what do you think? If Goebel Is
killed, do you think / could hold my
office" He discussed that matter, talk
ing to me back and forth, and said to
him thought If Goebel was put out Of

and he could hold his office. Finally
said to him, as Governor Taylor hesi-
tated still: ut Is up to you to decide
now whether 1t is to done or pot."'
"After some more hesitating Youtsey
stated that Taylor finally said: We'll,
tell them to go ahead. If 1t is neces-
sary, can send the man to the noun

Did he say anything about pardoning
him? and Youtsey said: Yes, that Is
so. He said: "If it is necessary, l can
pardon and he will be safe enough"
Youtsey then stopped, and asked:
What did you do thenT
"Youtsey said: When I went back,
Berry Howard and Dick Cooms and
Jim Howard We're in the hall, and I
unlocked the door and let them In and
gave them the cartridges again in

he had given the cartridges. said:
That is one question that wanted to
ask you, Mr.. Youtsey,' and he said: L
gave them to Jim Howard. He was
the last man who went in the door,
said: How many did you give him?

the shot?' and he said: L cannot tell
you, did not see him. l said: What
did you do when you let them inY He
said: i stayed near the door, said:

Wharton Golden testified that he saw

w. II. Culton testified that Youtsey
told him of the plan to kill Goebel and
escape through the basement; that
Youtsey asked him TO swear after the
shooting that he Youtsey) was in the
legislative hall when the shot was fired;
that Youtsey told him Governor Tay-
