GREAT COAL STRIKE.
It Has Been Ordered Among PennsyI.
vania Miners.

Scranton. Pa, Sept. 13.-Now that
been ordered for neXt Monday there
are some mooted questions. One is how
many men will quit work in response
to the order and another is will they
quit work today and tomorrow, or will
they wait until the mines close Satur-
day night. When the order to strike
was given out last night ii was greet
ed with cheers at headquarters. The
cheers were soon followed by mutter-
ings.
Why wait until Monday; let's
strike now was the burden of com
| izer Dilchcr said: Strike now if you
want to-. | wan you to have time to
| get your tools out; to leave the mines
tidy and in workmanlike shape and to
use up any powder you may have on
hand. We do not say when you shall
stop work, except that these mines
must be closed tight by mex Monday
morning"
Dilcher was busy sending out orders
to local officers. He will conduct the
struggle from here. The field is di-
vided into three districts. first, sev.
enth and ninth. Scranton is the cen
ter of the first. in which there are over
10000 mine workers. or 80 per cent
of the entire number affected. Ma
tional Officer James at Hazleton will
be in charge of the seventh district
and National Officer Pursell at Sha-
mokin will run the strike in the ninth
district. but Dilcher and his aides here
will be the real strike generals.
On Saturday there will be a great
parade and mass meeting. 1t is en-
pected this will be a monster demon.
stration. Dilcher says the action OF
the strikers in exhausting every
chance of peace settlement has won
them public sympathy.

TRAGEDY ON UINTA RESERVE.
Indian Shoots and Kills His Wife.
Then Himself.

White Rocks, Utah, Sept. ia
double tragedy of a very sensational
nature, resulting in the death of two
Indians, man and wife, occurred on
this reservation Sunday.
Shortly before noon an Indian rode
rapidly up to the residence of Indian
Agent H. P. Myton with the news that
a young indian buck named Gegarkeut
had just shot and killed his wife at
the house Of Richard Provo, two miles
from the agency.
Major Myton Immediately summon
ed the Indian police, then mounted a
horse and rode at once to the scene of
the tragedy. He found several excited
Indians gathered at the house but the
murderer had escaped. The dead body
of the murdered woman lay on the
| ground near the house. a bullet hole
in the inner corner Of her left eye.
The story OF the killing and the cause
leading up to it is as follows.
The Indian Gegarkeut has been
| married to the woman he killed only
three months. They got along well
together until quite recently, when
| some difficulty arose and the woman
left home going to the home of Rich
ard Provo. an intelligent Indian living
near the agency. Gegarkeut asked her
A. -.A.-~ -.A H. rr I noA
ed the request with the threat that
he would kill her If she did not return.
| She persisted in her refusal, and on
Sunday morning the husband secured
a pistol and proceeded to the house of
Provo, telling some n on the way
| that he was going to kill his wife and
then himself. He went into the house
and without a word drew the pistol
from beneath his blanket and fired
into his wife's face. She fell to the
floor and died instantly. The murder
er mounted a swift horse, and under
whip and spur escaped to the noun
tains.
Within an hour after the deed was
done the Indian police, well mounted
and armed to the teeth, were securing
mountains and plain in search Of the
fugitive. Shortly after dark several of
the searchers had assembled at Major
Myton's house. reporting a fruitless
search. While talking with them the
| Major noticed a tiny blaze on the
mountain side ten miles away. He
pointed to 1t and said: go there. that
Is his camp fire." The officers obeyed,
| and an hour later had reached the
sm%ouldering camp fire. Near by was
the PROSTATE form of a man apparently
asleep, but when an officer attempted
to arouse him a stream Of blood trick
ling from an ugly hole in the temple
told the story. He was quite dead. The
| right hand clasped a s%ix-shooter and in
it's magazine was four loads and two
empty shells. He had made good his
threat. The case will not reach the
courts.

Collins country or join the Denver Pa

would be trivial compared to those thc

ercome in Wyoming. The grale from
Denver to Virginia Dale would be Easy
and gradual and Dale creek, which
would be the highest point on the new
line, would be considerably lower
than the highest point on the main line
over Sherman hill. The Kansas bust
ness and perhaps even the Nebraska

%Julesburg cutoff, would be rushed
| easily and rapidly over the new line
and the distance and the time to the
coast would Re materially reduced.
And in these days of competition every
mile and every minute counts.
Athol Hill Plans.
a NUMBER OIL surveys nave Deeu
made on Athol hill, on the Denver Pa
cific just out of Cheyenne. Not n
o. them has beer entirely satisfactory.
The most recent one involved a cut
as deep and long as that now being
constructed at Virginia Dale. Engin-
eer Dunlap has lately been making
another survey to ascertain If there
be not a better scheme to ave that
hill. The best he has been able to
evolve involves the construction of an
%1S0O-foot tunnel through the hill.
Now, considering the great desira-
cal as well as for other reasons, the
question arises if it would not be i'm
mensely cheaper in the end to build
that line rather than to improve the
line over Athol hill. The later i'm
provement has not been ordered; it
has been only suggested and planned.
Even if it were carried out that would
not near the rejection of the roudre
valley scheme. The Denver Pacific
would still be heavily used eve II the
main line were to come by way of the
Poudre valley. All the business of
middle and northern Wyoming over
the Colorado & Southern. which will
surely be extended, would 20 over the
Denver Pacific and the business of
that character might still justify the
improvement of Athol hill, while the
through business from river to coast
and the necessity of shutting out 9TH
err ambitious roads. would make the
Poudre line important and necessary.
A railroad that will spend nine mil
lions of dollars in merely straighten-
ing its line is not afraid Of building
from 80 to 100 miles Of new line to
a fifty miles and a heavy grade.
That is n point to be remembered.

H G. RothwsIi Says Organism Cuts a
Small Figure in Michigan-He
Has Just Arrived to Look After
e. N. Breitung's interests in Wyo-
ming-keeping Quiet at Present.

II G. Rothwell, the well known min
ing engineer and representative of E,
N. Breitung, the copper millionaire,
has arrived in Laramie after a long
absence. He is here IN business con
nected with Mr.. Breitung's interests,
OF which he can say nothing at pres,
ent. He has just come from Mar,
quette, Mich, and speaks well of the
business outlook there.
of course iron and copper are
down now, compared to the price they
reached a few months ago. The fall
is a natural reaction. The market
scared into the air under the stimulus
OF unexampled expansion in the metal
industries. Prices in fact went too
high and the market became over
stocked. With every manufacturer
calling for more metal it was not
strange that the production from the
mines should increase at such a rate
that the market finally could not alb
sor3 the output. The natural conse.
quence was that prices fell and will
stay at their present level till the pro-
duction is again down to thelevelof
the demand. 1t was a wonderful H.
lustration Of what this country a &C
complish when it sets itself to pro-
duce.
They Are Certain.
AS to politics there is no question
that the country is going republican.
Back in Michigan none of the business
men seem to be worrying about it.
They regard the election of Mckinley
as a ~foregone conclusion. The
thought that Bryan could be elected
apparently has never entered their
heads.
Michigan will give Mckinley and
Roosevelt a big majority. Pingree is
sore but he that he will
vote for Mckinley just the same.
Surely no business nan that stops to
think will deliberately vote to put Bry-
an into power and let him try his ex-
periments upon us. II times were
hard and we were cropping for some
panacea for our ills it might be all
right to give Bryan a trial. But what
is to be gained by it? Certainly he
cannot make the country more pros
porous than it is and there would be
great danger, in fact almost a certain
ty Of him making it worse of. No, the
people of this country do not want any
experiments just now.
Among the men working in the
Michigan mines Organism has made
little or no progress. The men there
remember the hard times Of 1893 and
1894. They are working now, all Of
them, and you cannot convince them
Bryan can do more for them than Nc
Kinley can"

IT'S A leo
CUTOFF TO DENVER VIA vIR-
GINNIA DALE is GER
TAIN.
Reasons for It Are Many and Not
TriviaI-Other Roads to Be Shut
Out-Union Pacific is Not Afraid
to Spend Money These Days
Athol Hill Plans.

The Republicans announcement that
the Union Pacific management has
taken up anew it's project for a cutoff
through Virginia Dale and the Poudre
valley to Denver, has aroused great
interest in Laramie and in the state.
A few persons soaked in pessimism
and doubt to such an extent that they
would readily believe the Union Pacific
was about to build a line around Lar
annie for the express purpose of kill
ing the town-a few such persons have
expressed incredulity; but neverthe-
less the people who have kept the
closest watch upon the movements Of
the road and the policy of the new
management have given the news full
credence. Better than all, in railroad
quarters the report has beer accepted
as reliable and the project as the most
plausible in the world. The fact re-
mains, then, that the Denver cutoff is
being seriously considered by Presi-
Burt and General Manager Dickinson.
Many Reasons For 1t.
There are many reasons why the
line should be built. Railroad build
ing in Wyoming may be said to have
just begun. Competition, something
new in the history of the Union Pa
cific, threatens to spoil the snap it has
had all these years. Competition on
transcontinental business was chiefly
responsible for the improvements that
have been made and are now being
it may be remarked. parenthetically,
that if a newspaper had announced
three or four years ago that the I'm
ion Pacific was going to expend nine
millions of dollars upon improvements
of the Wyoming division the croakers
and the pessimists would have let out
a h%orse-laugh that would have rever-
berated from peak to peak of the
Snowy range. And yet the improve
lllentS nave Deeh Hlaue.
The Burlington is in Wyoming and
it is not here for fun. The Rock ISL
and, the Illinois Central. the North
western and other roads are casting
covetous eyes upon the Rocky noun
tain region and the Pacific coast.
There is no question at all that there
will be more transcontinental lines
built. The Union Pacific has more
business than it can handle with ease
and safety. A new line is about to be
built from Salt Lake to Los Angeles.
The western country is upon the eve
of a railroad-building era such as has
neve been known before.
To Shut Others Out.
Good passes through the Rocky
mountains are few and every one of
them is a point of eager scrutiny
railroad arrangements. The outlet
from Denver by the Poudre valley and
Virginia Dale is perfectly adapted to
the construction and operation of a
railroad. If the Union Pacific does
not use it and occupy that territory
and that pass some other road will.
Here is one Of the chief considerations
in the revival Of the old project.
There are others considerations.
The cutoff would save a distance of
fifty miles between Denver and Lara
annie and the main line westward and
would avoid n Of the worst grades on
the road. The line from the connect
ing point at Virginia Dale would drop
