unless the wages due were paid, and so
notified Manager Thompson, and that if
the money was not paid by Monday, the
men running the pumps in the incline
shaft would also quit.
On Saturday Manager Thompson paid
the men one-fourth of what was due and
promised the remainder by the 16. The
men accepted this arrangement aud went
to work. The money for the balance of
the June pay roll arrived last evening,
and is being paid out to day. There was

According to the will of her father he
left his estate to his widow, Mrs. Edla

and by her will left her daughter Mrs.
Muir, only a life interest in the estate.
Before her death in New York, some
time ago, Mrs. Muir commenced proceed
ings, both in the probate court in New
Jersey and this city, to protest against
the probating of her mothers will.
When the matter came on for hearing
last fall before the New Jersey courts an
order was passed allowing Mrs. Muir

Marccllus Coles, colored began his life
term in prison yesterday, when he was
sentenced by Justice Anderson, presiding
in Criminal Court, No. l, for the murder
of Albert Hawkins, also colored, on Au-
gust 80 last.
While there is nothing of the criminal
in the appearance of Coles, he seemed abb
soiutely without feeling as he stood be-
fore the court to hear his fate pronounced.
His demeanor was the same as charac
teriZed him during his trial, when he sat
day after day hearing most damaging tes-
timony against him without outwardly
showing the slightest feeling
A Qualified Verdict.
The jury which found Coles guilty CT
murder qualified its verdict by adding the
words, without capital punishment The
verdict, according to the law in force at
the time offence was committed, practical
ly fixed the sentence at Imprisonment for
life. ,sl:ksfNEA
The crime of which Coles was convicted
was committed at Deanwood Park on
August 80 last. Coles and Hawkins at
tended a picnic given at that place and
became involved in a quarrel over the
breaking OF some crockery. In the strug
gle between them Coles stabbed Hawkins
IN the thigh with penknife.
Coles fed from the scene and was ar
rested a short while afterward. Hawkins
was sent to Garfield Hospital, bat he died
before reaching there. Coles is about
twenty-five years ola.
Three Years for Manslaughter.

manslaughter, was sentenced by Justice
Anderson to Imprisonment in the penite n
tiary for three years. Coleman was
charged with the murder~sof Perry Off
Ger on September 16 last, at a brickyard
in Southwest Washington. The jury which
heard the testimony returned verdict
for manslaughter against the defendant.
The killing of Officer was the result
of quarrel between him and Coleman
over a trifing matter. The evidence
showed that Coleman, without just prov
ocation, struck officer on the head with a
piece of iron piping. Officer died few
hours after he was struck.
Attorneys Thomas L. Jones and W. CAL
win Chase appealed to the court for len
iency on behalf of the defendant. because

No one needs to be told to try to cure
a cough. But any one will be glad to
be told of a means of cure which will
be thorough and lasting. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is a nedi-
cine which can be confidently relied
on to cure diseases of the organs Of
respiration. 1t cures obstinate, deep
seated coughs, bronchitis and bleeding
of the lungs. 1t cures when nothing
else will cure, and the local physician
says: cThere is nothing more that we
can do"
There is no alcohol in uGolden Med
ical Discovery" and it is absolutely free
from opium, cocaine and all other mar
cotics.
The dealer, tempted by the little more
profit paid by less meritorious medicines,
will sometimes try and sell substitute
when the Discovery" Is asked for. No
substitute medicine will satisfy the sick
like cGolden Medical Discovery" 1t
always helps. It almost always cures.

One Life Lost.

Kalamazoo, Mich, April 2s.-A disas-
trous freight wreck occurred here
Sunday evening on the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern road. One man
lost his life and the loss is estimated
at $4,000. An extra freight, north
bound, broke in two on a grade two
miles south of the city, and the two
sections collided near the Grand Rap
ids o. Indiana railroad crossing. TWEEN
ty cars left the track and piled up on
either side of it. The contents of an
oil car took fire and exploded and four
cars on the adjoining Grand Rapids
e. Indiana track, and the blacksmith
shop of Lull and SINNERS carriage
factory were destroyed. The loss on
the cars and the shops is $4,000. The
damage to the 20 Lake Shore cars is
estimated at s25, 900. The badly burned
body of man. supposed to have been a
tramp, was found after the flames had
been extingaished.

DECIDES AGAINST COUNCIL.
Corporations Must he Assessed
Same as other Property.

Lincoln, Neb., April "a. = The SUI
preme court of Nebraska Wednesday
afternoon overruled the findings of
Referee Ryan in the case of the real
estate exchange of Omaha against the
Omaha city council, in which the real
estate exchange sued for writ of
mandamus to compel the council to
reconvene as a board of equalization
and hear complaints against the al
legged low assessment of the property
of public service corporations of the
city of Omaha. The decision is per-
haps the most important of the kind
ever given, and will be as far-reaching
in its effect as the famous school teach
ers' case of Chicago. The decision, in
reversing the recommendation of the
referee, finds for the real estate ex-
change on every point of law, and de-
cides that the writ shall issue. The
mandamus demands that the fran
chised corporations shall be assessed
on the same basis as private property.

TO BE FILED SOON.
Government Attorneys Preparing the
Bill for Injunction Against Al
legged Beef Combinations.

Chicago, April 2S.-Legal action
against the big packers of the country
will be instituted in the United States
circuit court in this city during the
present week. A bill to enjofn acts Gin
restraint of trade" will be fled by coun-
sci for the government after full con-
sideration has been given to the evil
dence now in possession of the United
States district attorney, S. II. Bethea.
The district attorney and Special Coun-
sci William A. Day, representing At
torney General Knox, were in confer
cnce all day Saturday. They declared
that IL was of more Importance to the
people of the country that the bill
when filed should be as strong as the
use of every particle of evidence in
hand could make it than that it should
be hastily brought before the federal
court. For that reason they took no
action Saturday, and would not even
set day for the filing of papers. An
other reason for their attitude is that
every day additional evidence, as al
legged, is coming to them, and their
case is being made stronger.
There is a possibility that the bill,
General Knox for his approval, and
this would mean a few days longer
delay before fling. That, however,
has not yet been decided, and rests
with District Attorney Bethea to de-
termine. He has full power to start
the wheels of justice at any time. The
packers and their attorneys were as
silent Saturday as they have been
ever since the investigation of their
methods began.
The bill, when It is filed, will be
long document, with a number Of af-
fidavits attached, setting forth the
charges against the packers, alleged to
be in combination. A preliminary no
tice will probably be given the attor-
neys for the packers, though that is
matter of courtesy rather than Of
obligation. Then the packers will
have a certain time in which to enter
an appearance, and further time in
which to make answer, so If the de-
lays nre taken advantage of the case
cannot be heard before June.
A single bill will probably be filed
against all the firms, and Judge Kohl
saat will probably consider it. Wheth-
err bill of similar nature will be filed
in New York at the same time that one
is filed here or later, has apparently
not yet been determined. It is said
that further action of criminal ma
ture against the packing house officials
and buyers is also matter for further
consideration, and probably will not be
determined until the injunctional
hearing is well along toward compile
ton. 1t is always to be reckoned, how
ever, as among the possibilities.

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER
IS MADE.

The Health Department of New
York has seized quantity of so-called
cheap baking powder, which it found
in that city. Attention was attracted
to it by the low price at which 1t was
being sold in the department stores.
Samples were taken and the chemist
of the Health Department reported
the stuff to be ian alum POWDER"
which analysis showed to be composed
chiefly of alum and pulverized rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health, and several thou
sand pounds were carted to the offal
dock and destroyed.
1t is unsafe to experiment with these
so-called "cheap" articles of food.
They are sure to be made from alum,
rock, or other injurious matter. In
baking powders, the high class, cream
of tartar brands are the most eco
nomical, because they go farther in
use and are healthfuI beyond question.

REVOLT PRACTICALLY ENDED.
Surrender of Filipino Leader Guev-
ARA, In samar, Leaves Mindanao
the Only Danger Spot.

Manila, April 2s.-The surrender of
Col. Guevarra, the commander of the
insurgent forces in the island of Sa-
mar, practically ends the armed insur-
rection in the Philippine islands. The
surrender last week of Gen. Malver
marked the end of the rebellion in Lu-
zon, and now Samar, Cebu, Negroes,
Panay, Mindoro and Leyte are regard
ed as pacified. In these islands, the
principal ones of the archipelago, the
sovereignty of the United States is rec
ognized and unopposed.
The only feature in the military stu
alton that causes any apprehension
now is the unfortunate Moro affair in
the island of Mindanao, but 1t is be-
lieved that this can be settled with
out further bloodshed. Efforts in this
direction will be made by Gen. Chaffee.

Baseo and Florida, several steam
launches and native lighters, has as

gent leader Guevarra and his entire
command down to the coast. Guevar-
ra's command consists of Rafael Sebas-
tian, Abak and 38 other officers, 1S9
men and 161 rifles. Three hundred in
surgents with 131 rifles are expected
to arrive at Catbalogan, Samar, soon
to surrender formally to the American
authorities. Three thousand bolomen,
20 of them armed with rifles, surren-
dered Saturday at Sulat, also in Samar.
Guevarra succeeded Gen. Luckban to
the command of the insurgent forces
in Samar, when the latter was captured
last February. He announced his in

HOME GARDEN HINTS.

Plan and choose colors carefully.
Plenty of color is desirable, but con-
Trajectory colors running rampant
detract from fine effects.
Well started hollyhocks will bloom
this season if the plants purchased
are old enough. Make sure of this
before buying. Nothing could possi-
bly, please flower or color lover bet
ter than row or mass of these sim
pie and yet charming beauties.
Tall blue larkspur may be planted
back of the beds of hardy lilies for
fine effects Of line and color. The
yellow day lily, the white swamp lily,
and some of the spotted varieties
look glorious in such location, and
plenty of surrounding foliage en-
hances the effect.
Strong dahlia roots may be sepa-
rated into several portions before
planting, If large and in healthy con-
dition. These cheerful and hardy
boomers will flourish almost any
where if allowed plenty Of sunshine.
Even the reflected glare of brick
wall does not discourage them.
Now is the time to commence regu-
lar work in the garden. Several
hours to-day and as many more next
week will not work wonders in the
way of floral perfection and gener-
Gus bloom. But half or even quar-
ter of an hour daily may be counted
on reliably, and the steady work will
bear certain fruit.
If likely to remain in your present
location buy shrubs and Towering
clumps generously. There is salts
faction about the flowers which
come up annually to be obtained in
no other way. But since it is pain
and grief to leave them and they do
not like moving, stick to ANNALS IL
you move every year.
