NOW IN CHICAGO.
Center of TeIegraphers' Strike
Has Been Moved.

The center of the Santa F'e telegraph
ers strike has been transferred to Chi
cago. President Dolphin of the o. r. T.
left for there last night by way of the
Rock Island.
The chairmen of the grievance COM
nittees of the railway orders. who off,
ces s meditators have been enlisted, are
gathering there also, after scattering
from here to their several homes. Gen
eral Manager Nudge is also in Chicago,
and if there is anything to be accom-
plished in behalf of the strikers, it is a
sure thing that all the interested parties
are concentrated at the center of power.
Indirectly, but what is considered au-
thentically it is learned that the orders
do not fully endorse the telegraphers in
their strike. They were told some very
plain things at Sundays conference, it
is said. Yet the commonality of inter
est that binds all railroad and union
men together is strong.
It is within reasonable expectation
that one or two of the orders might
make a break to the support of the tel
egraphers. 1t is equally staunchly and
with reason asserted that for one or two
Of the others It is not within the bounds
of expectation.

which will probably not take place be
fore tomorrow, is anxiously awaited. IT

nuisance.
Joe came back a few days a ., got
drunk and was arrested. They thought
they would give him good fright and
they did. When he came into the court
this morning, Mr.. Gregg, the attorney
for the city, said: Judge, this man
broke jail last spring and I think we
had better turn him over to the state,
for that is a state offense. A trip to the
penitentiAry will do him good"
.'AH right" said the judge, this case
will go over until 4 o'clock when we
will hear it,
weber began to sputter for he saw
the penitentiary staring him in the face.
Judge, can't I say a wOrd2" he asked
mot a word, said the judge. Your
case will come up at 4 and if you have
anything to say to the city attorney you
will have the chance during the day"
But 1 want to say something, judge.
I didn't break jail. 1 didn't break any
thing. l just climbed over the fence.
How can you fellers send me over the
road for breaking Jail when I didn't
break a thing? That's what / want to
know. I want lawyer. I don't want
to go to the pen when amt done moth
ing to deserve it
The jailer took him out of the room
before he could finish his talk, and after
letting him worry all day he was taken
before the court again at O'Clock and
was fined for drunkenness.

dry reading, but it ia generally
correct in its reports.

Orders issued from the interior
department with reference to the
cutting and sale of timber in the
Cherokee nation have been so in
definite as to cause misapprehen-
sion and general unrest. To pre-
vent the wanton waste of timber
belonging to the Indians by out
side parties is evidently the intent
of the interior department, but the
wording Of the orders are such as
to prohibit practically, the cutting
or sale of wood for fuel. We be-
lieve that we would not be mis-

Cherokee citizen will be prose-
.uted for cutting wood fol-. his own
use or Tor sale, so long as he does

ion Of the government is only to
