PERSISTENT HOODOO
Has Followed Three Wssnlng-

Away From Home.

Washington. G. H.. O.. May 13.--
About three weeks ago three boys
from this city concluded that they de-
sfred to see the world, and with about
s75 in their pockets they started out.
They reached Dayton and were having
all kinds Of fun when the police over
hauled shem and returned them to
their homes. ,,3..
Since their return home every one
OF the boys has been having hard
luck. and today they are all cripples.
Mark Fortune was kicked on the knee
by schoolmate and his kneecap was
broken. Chester Smith fell off a bf-
cycle which his father had given him
since his return home and broke his
arm. Hubert Bell was at the chair
factory when something fell on his
arm and broke 1t.

FOUND PURE SILVER
In Iumps Big as a Mans Head
lin m ense Deposits
Uncovered.

Phoenix, Ariz., May 13.-Particulars
have been received here of the big sill
yer strike made in the mountains
south Of Nogales few days ago in
the La Fortuna group, located near
Santa Anna. An immense deposit of
silver ore was uncovered, virtually
from the surface. Lumps of pure sill
yer as large as a mans head were
found.
An authentic report states that tons
of native metal are in plain sight in
a locality where prospectors have
searched for years. The metal lives
in volcanic formation and is believed
to reach far down into the earth.
1t is likely the mother lode Of the
great silver mines which lie farther
down the valley, and which have been
producing for over 100 years.

SOAP FOLLOWS BEEF.
Rise In Price OF the Ono Has
Affected the Other.-Raw
Material IL Up.

Cincinnati, O.. May 13.-The rise in
beef has been followed by a rise in
soap prices. The cause is scarcity
and advance of the price of raw ma
terials, tallow, grease and oils.
A year ago local soap manufacturers
were buying tallow at Ia cents a
pound, and there was plenty. Now
tallow is IL cents pound and hard
to get. Butchers who could supply 100
barrels of tallow on call have trouble
furnishing twenty-five barrels. Palm
oil was regarded as too expensive in
the Cincinnati field for soap making.
Now it is IA cents a pound, / IA
cents under the present price of tai
low. Considerable palm oil is now
being used.
Soap has been advanced 10 to Is

ARMY
Senator Foraker Makes
a Strong Speech.

Washington, May 13.-An important
contribution to the discussion Of the
Philippine government bill was made
in the senate Monday by Mr.. For
aker of Ohio. He maintained that the
United States could not leave the is
lands until order had been restored
and until a stable government had
been established. He declared that
this government would not come away
from the island. until the present Of
the next administration, even though
the latter be Democratic, because the
American pdople never would con-
sent to poltroonery.
He reviewed in vivid language the
outrages committed by the Filiplnos
upon tho American troops-outrages
which included burning at the stake,
cutting to pieces with bolos, gouging
out of the eyes and disemboweling of
American prisoners.
Referring to the order of General
Smith, he said: 81 don't believe that
he made such an order as he is report
ed to have issued, or, If he did, there
is light to be shed upon it which
We have not had"
Our army. he said, has shown hu-
manity under provocation never sur
passed by any other army in the his
tory of the world. Prisoners had
been kept long enough to receive a
good meal and good lecture. He
said Notwithstanding the humanity

of resorting to the law of retaliation
"The army needs no defense Its. rec
ord from the beginning until now is
glorious one. 1t will come home in
triumph to receive the glad welcome
and the plaudits of the American peo-
pie. They always have stood by their

liant officers, such heroes. one and all,

NIGHT WATCHMAN
BOUND AND GAGGED
Bolts Removed From Structur-
ai Work and Guy Ropes Cut
-.Rivets Hold Structure
Together and Frus-
trated Atte em pt.

Alliance, May 13.-A desperate at
tempt was made at an early hour this
morning to wreck the structural work
of the new shop of the Alliance Ma
chine company. The iron work is be-
ing done by the Penn Bridge company,
of Beaver Falls. The last section of
the work has been erected. The night
watchman, william Everhard, was
caught by a gang of fve men and after
being bound and gagged, was taken
some distance away from the plant,
and later locked in shanty, used to
store cement and lime.
The rope supporting 6O-foot iron
derrick and two wooden derricks was
cut allowing the booms to fall. The
bolts had been removed from the iron
work but, owing to part of the work
being riveted, the structure could not
he thrown over. An effort was also
made to blow up the boiler of a small
hoisting engine.
officials of the company declined to
make any statements and will not
give out anything regarding their sus-
picions as to who did the work.
The men employed by the Penn
Bridge company on this work were
some days ago urged to strike by some
other men doing similar work but they
refused. the fact that only structural
work was damaged makes it appear
that the injury was aimed at the iron
workmen. A dozen valuable machines
at the shop were not disturbed in the
least. The night watchman believes
he can identify at least two OF the
men.

POPULAR GAME

Says q Cievsian nd Minister Who
Does Not Believe in
Ping-Pong.

Cleveland, o., May 13.-The subject
of Rev. F.. e. J. Lolyd's sermon at st.
Marks church Sunday evening was
"Games and Sports in Relation to the
Christian Religion" He said:
II am firmly persuaded that too
much time and attentions and wealth
arc devoted to mere odily exercises
at the present day. The gymnasium.
too. usurps the place of the chapel at
many of our colleges, the horizontal
bar the prayer desk, the manual of
athletes the Bible. The exaggerated
tendency to games at the present time
finds a most melancholy illustration
In what is called ping-pong. kill
time expedient, which no one but an
apology for man or an indolent and
trifiing woman would resort to. There
can be little doubt that we are sadly
overburdened with games and the
whole nation is suffering from the
abuses in one form or another arising
from them.
"The craze for the ping-pong (Which
even the Chinese minister in Wash
ington calls childish) is very strik-
Ing evidence Of absolute degeneracy
nor is 1t necessary for me to say that
1t is entirely beneath the notice ol
grown men and women"

HIS TROUBLES
General Coxey Is Hav-
inc His Share.

Mt Vernon. O., May 13.-General j.
S. Coxey has returned from an eastern
trip of a week. and proceeded to ad-
Just the claims in attachment against
him brought by molders and other
workmen. A number of the claims
have ALREADY been adjusted and the
remainder will be attended to as soon
as possible.
The creditors have expressed them
selves as willing to allow Coxey all
the time necessary in order to make
the payment. Mr. Coxey made the
following statement to a reporter:
Il expect a representative of east
ern capitalists here next Thursday to
look over the plant with a view OF
taking stock amounting to s245, 900
in the concern. Another capitalist
will also be here as soon as he returns
from Europe, being now on the ocean.
This tying me up on a small claim Of
$4,000, and attaching the very mate
rial upon which | must depend to
realize any money with which to pay
the claims, is bad business I offered
to give a mortgage on machinery and
other articles which are not to be sold
in orderTto secure the cain, but It
seems that it is the idea to stop al
together any ability l might have to
raise money.
The trouble in the city is that one
bank here has over 100000 in depos-
