VICTIMS OF
AWFUL FATE
GERMAN EXPLORERS EATEN
BY CANNIBALS.
GOULD MAKE NO DEFENSE
White Men Attacked While Clean
ing Their Dismembered
Rifles-One Escapes.

Berlin, June "Details have been
received Of the massacre of the first
German South Sea expedition on the
cannibal island of St. Matthias. All
were killed and eaten, except Dr.
Heinrotn.
The Colonial Zeitung, the official or
gan Of the German Colonial society,
furnishes details of the massacre.
1t seems that the steamer which
carried the expedition to the island
of St. Matthias left after a few days
for Herbertsch, New Britain, to get
fresh supplies. During it's absence,
the savages, who had hitherto ap.
peared friendly, although known to be
rabid cannibals, planned to kill the
party.
The plot was carried out one morn
ing while the members of the expedi-
ton, who had a body guard of 40
drilled Papuans, were cleaning their
rifles. which they had taken apart.
Suddenly so of the islanders broke
from the bushes, raising fierce war
cries and brandishing spears. with
which they stabbed to death the lead
er of the party, DR.. Meneken, his sec
rotary, Herr Caro-. and a white sail
or, who was asleep under a tent. DR..
HeinrOth emptied his revolver into
his assailants, while the bodyguard
in the meantime retired to the boats
with the wounded and DIR. Heinroth,
leaving the dead.
The boats put of to another island.
no tfar distant where an expedition
AIRY party rescued them. Subsequently
the survivors returned to the island
Of st. Matthias, where they found that
the bodies had been devoured and the
camp absolutely looted.

PABSTS SUSTAIN LOSS.
Fire Destroys Part of Their Bio Brew
ing Plant.

Milwaukee, June 6.-The Pabst
Brewing company suffered a loss by
fire this afternoon to the extent OF
between $4,000 and 300, 900, fully
covered by insurance. One man was
killed during the progress of the tire.
The fire started near the roof of
elevator F, where tour coppersmiths
were at work making some repairs.
1t is thought the blaze originated from
overheated copper, which ignited some
screens. Elevator F was Quilted and
considerable machinery of the malt
house, a building adjoining, was de-
stroyed. The seventh or top story
OF the malt house was badly damaged.
John Smith, a coppersmith, who re-
sided at 70 Eighth street, died from
injuries sustained by falling four stor-
les while sliding down a rope.

Will some wise guy of republi-

tell the lead miner, why 1t is that,
under a high tariff republican ad-
ministration, he is only to get $3.50
per hundred for his lead, with silver
right down at the bottom notch too.
Everybody, bue these republican
quill pushers, will remember when
lead got down to $3. 40 in Cleveland's $.
time. Well, they said then that it
was because Clevey favored the free
admission of lead into the United
States. But there is as big tariff
as ever on lead now and lead is.
lower than ever too, or will be after
January lst next. This demands an
explanation on the part of the wise

Montpelier, Idaho. Dec, Is, 1901.

Another good(?) trust is getting
in it's work on Idaho. The lead
combine has arbitrarily fixed the
price that It will pay for lead, and
it has also said just how much the
miner shall produce of it, too. The
price fixed Is about the lowest on
record and the amount the trust
will take is away below what the
mines have been producing. With
the already low price of silver this
action of this particular trust has
turned many paying mines into
losing ones and they will have to
lower the wages paid it's employees.
AS Idaho produces the great bulk
of the lead of the United States.
this state Is particularly hard hit.
And yet we suppose there are people
right here III the Gem of the
Mountain state, that will argue
that the lead trust is one of the
goody, goody kind.

WHAT'S the Matter With the Tariyf

Advlces from New York say that
the smelter trust will pay $40 cents
per pound for lead from Colorado
and Utah mines after the first Of
the year. The prlce is fifth of a
cent lower than will be paid to Occur
d'Alene lead miners
A conference between the officers
of the smelling trust and mine
owners of the Occur d'Alene has
been IN progress for the past two
weeks in New York.
After much discussion a settle
ment has practically been reached.
Occur d'Alene miners will get So. SO
per hundred pounds for lead in the
future instead Of "a, which is the
present price.
1t is provided that the new
arrangement shall last for six months
but the smelter trust has the RIGHT
to cancel the contract on giving 60
days notice.
Miners are much dissatisfied with
the contract.

ADVANCE IN FLOUR
MilIers Boost the Price, as Agreed
Upon.

a
The Salt Lake County Millers asse-
citation, at its meeting yesterday, in
creased the prices of the three grades
of -four in the local market as The
Herald stated yesterday would be the
case The meeting at which this ac-
tion was taken did not consume over
ten minutes, which is proof that the adj
vance in the prices was determined in
advance The price of bran was also
advanced 5 cents per 100 pounds
The reason assigned for this advance
is the increase in the price of wheat.
The best grade. of wheat in the Salt
Lake market is touching so Genus, and
it is the general impression among
grain men and millers that it viii go
much higher before the new crop is
ready for use
All the reports en- the new ogop are
of the most promising character. The
fall wheat never started off better. The
rains in the fall put the soil irf the best
of condition for planting, and the young
grain made an unusual growth before
the cold weather set in in the winter.
The spring has been too cold and wet,
burt in spite of that drawback the grain
has been doing exceptionally well all
over the state. and the present indica-
lions point to q very heavy crop. The
spring wheat is also going in in good
condition. and the acreage wiz be
greatly increased over last year, or any
previous year
