st. Louis, June 5.-A special car that
carried company H of the posse
comitatus from the barracks on WASH
ington avenue over the Chouteau ave
nue. line to the car shed at Jefferson
avenue and La Sale street ran over ex-
plosives on the track at Fifteenth and
Washington avenue and at Twenty
second street and Chouteau avenue.
The first explosion cid not amount to
much but the second was a heavy one,
lifting the car three feet in the air
and throwing the occupants to the floor.
The floor was blown up and the roof
damaged.
Two reports were heard, indicating
that a double explosion had taken place.
Fifty -four men We're Oh the car Two
of them, F1eischman and Sam
Schwartzberg, were slightly injured.
The explosion aroused the neighbor-
hood and in a few minutes about 5000
people were on the scene. They COM
menced to hoot and jeer at the depu-
ties and soon the air was thick with
flying stones and other missiles. Not
content with an assault with rocks,
somebody in the crowd commenced to
discharge a revolver at the car. Then
the deputies were orGered to use their
guns and they fired in the air as they
charged the crowd.
The shooting had the desired effect
and in a few minutes the crowd was
out of sight. AS far as known none OF
the assailants was hurt.
Special deputy sheriffs, members of
the posse comitatus, are on guard today
at all car sheds and power houses of
the St Louis Transit company. The
different details have been dividedin two
reIiefs, each doing twelve hours guard
duty with twelve off. Sheriff Pohiman
continues to send out summonses and
to swear in the citizens as they arrive
at his office When his office closed
last night the sheriff had sworn in and
armed a few more than 1000 men. 1t
will be several days before the full
complement of $500 is secured.
Many of the police who have been
guarding the sheds and power houses
| have been ordered back to their regular
| beats on which they have not walked
since the strike began. AS the force OF

Oronogo zinc mines walked out Monday
as result of a reduction in their
wages. Men receiving 81 per day were
Quito $1.75 for work in the ground and
all others in proportion. These mines
are located on the Boston Little Circle
company's grounds at Oronogo, Mo. A
reduction takes place tomorrow at the
Victoria, Cass, Aurora and LaTosca
mines, at Oronogo. and the men are pre-
pairing to walk out This will make over
LOCO miners out at this place alone.
No material reduction has been made
in wages in and around Joplin, but the
cut at Oronogo may start a general re-
duction and possibly a general strike
among miners. The operators claim it
is impossible to pay the old schedule on
account of recent slumps in prices of
ore.

During the summer season it is well to know the language of umbrellas: gro place your umbrella in rack in- dicates that it is about to change own CTS. An umbrella carried over the woman, the man getting nothing but the drippings of the rain, signifies courtship. When the man has the um- brella and the woman the drippings it signifies marriage. To carry it at an an- gle under your arm signifies that an eye is to be lost by the man who fol lows. To put cotton umbrella beside a nice silk one signifies exchange is no robbery To lend an umbrella signi- fies I'm fool To carry an umbrella just high enough to tear out mems eyes and knock off mems hats, signifies I'm woman"

A Photograph.

Among the Alaska Indians the squaws are great peddlers. They manufacture moccasins, baskets, totems, spoons, rings, and a thousand other articles of more or less value. These they hold in readiness for the advent of tourists and sightseers, and at all times of the year, in season and out of season, they besiege the doors of the white people in the not vain hope of making sale.
 One of these squaws stopped at cer- tain house in Douglas one day short time ago. Among other things that she offered for sale was a bead picture frame. There was nothing remarkable in this, but imagine the lady's surprise on looking at the frame to recognize the smiling features ofan acquaintance, a gentleman who has lived on Douglas Island for some time.
 The squaw told nice little story about finding the picture but it sound ed fishy.
 The question still remains: how did the squaw get possession of that pie ture?

Selling 4 Mine.

As a general thing the mine to be sold is not mine, it is simply pros pect of mine, made up of from three to a dozen claims with very uni que and taking names attached. But these names will not sell the mine, it must be sold on the basis of it's own values and the difficulties to be over come in realizing those values. The owners of the claims knowing the tons of ore hidden away in the mine over look the amount of capital and labor that must be expended in order to se- cure it, hence they are inclined to put too high a price on the property, thus shutting it cut of the market. It would be better to try and realize something and not lose all by grasping too large a handful. Another point for those de- string to sell mines to rememberis that it takes time. A man can sell a horse, turn the property over to the buyer pocket the cash, and be done with the whole thing in few minutes. When a mine is sold the buyers must be the first interested, experts mast be sent reports be made and samples tested, and after a long time the mine may be sold. Verify, the man who tries to sell mine earns all he gets for it.-Se- attle Mining Record.

contracts will be let in July for two
years, the contractors to give bond
for the faithful performance of their
duties. This plan is being adopted in
many counties in the State, and, we be-

than the present haphazard methods.
