SHELTER lei STRIKE.

H1HFLHF
Demand Recognition Of Union by Hell.
ena Company.
Helena, April 29.-Mill and Shelter
mems union, No. 1875. Western FEEDER
alton of Miners, ordered a general
strike in all departments OF the smelt-
ers of the American Smelling and Re
filming company at East Helena, at Z
o'clock last night. About 500 men will
be thrown cut of employment.
The strike is the result Of action
which has been anticipated for some
time and which was brought to a eli
max yesterday.
The executive committee of the
Miners union has been instructed by
the union to wait upon the manage
men Of the smelters and secure recog-
milton of the unicn.. Yesterday at
ternoon the executive committee held
q meeting at which it was resolved
to at n wait upon the management
Of the smelters and bring the matter
to a head. The committee proceeded
to the smelters and asked to see the
superintendent, c. w. Whitley.
Upon being told that he was in Hell
ena the committee at once returned to
the city to interview Mr.. Whitley.
They met him upon the street, and
Mr.. Whitley absolutely refused to
recognize the committee as represent
ing the union. The committee there
upon returned to East Helena and
called a meeting of the smeltermen
for Jast evening. The committee re-
ported and the matter was thoroughly
discussed. The II O'Clock shift, which
vas to go to work at that time, was
present. About IL O'Clock, just be-
fore time to go to work, the union
voted a general strike. The IL o'clock
shift went in a body to the smelter
and called the shift cut which was
just coming off work, also informing
Superintendent Norton of the strike.
He at once t~elegraphed to Helena to
Manager Whitley, but he could not be
located. The men returned to town
and at 8 o'clock this morning are hold
ing a meeting. The union men are
guarding the track and will allow no
one to approach the smelter. The
furnaces we're run down and the fires
banked.
The strike is entirely due to, the
smelter people not recognizing the un-
ion, the question of wages not figur-
ing in the matter.
Phil Bowden, general organizer Of
this district of the Western Federation
of Labor, is in East Helena, and was
one of the committee that waited on
Whitley. This is the second strike
which hastoccurred at the East Hell
ena smelter within the past IL months.
The union was organized directly af-
ter the first strike and the smelter
company declared that they would
not recognize the union of it's en-
ployes and that it would sooner close
down first. The lei are perfectly
determined that the union must be
recognized and the management is
equally persistent that it shall not
be recognized. It is believed the
shelters may be closed down perma-
nently and surely for a long time.
The situation looks bad for the
merchants of East Helena, as we'll as
for this city. The merchants will
hold a meeting tonight to e what can
be done toward reaching some sort
of settlement.

LATEST DETAILS.
Storm Devastated Territory Fully
Two Hundred Miles Lone.

Bloomington. Ill, June 11.-StretCh-
ing across a pathway 100 miles in
width and devastating territory fully
200 miles long, extending from Living
ston county on the north to McCoupin
county on the south, and leaving it's
mark clear across the face of central
Illinois, a cyclone last night inflicted
u property loss which will aggregate
millions of dollars and cost dozen
lives. The brunt of the storm fell upon
Mclean and adjoining counties. Light
ming was incessant for two hours, but
was marked by absence of thunder
claps. Wind reached velocity of 100
miles an hour and in it's track was left
destruction and death. The visitation
was the worst ever recorded in the his
tory of Central Illinois.
Almost complete interruption Of tele-
graph and telephone lines for Il hours
has made it impossible to secure the
full details of the disaster 1t is now
known that while the fatalities in Nc
Lean county were but three in number,
scores of persons were seriously in
jured and hundreds of narrow ESCAPES
from death We're reported. Not a vii
lage or city of Mclean county escaped
and from every district comes the same
report of destroyed buildings injury
to growing crops and RACED fruit and
shade trees. The aggregate of loss in
Mclean county. not including three
lives at Merna, or thousands upon
thousands of levelled shade and fruit
trees, by a rough estimate will be be-
tween 100000 and 100000. Claims
for tornado insurance up to this even
ing among local agents have reached
100000, and it is believed that this
sum will be doubled. The heaviest loss
in proportion to the population fell
upon Merna, a village 10 miles east of
Bloomington, where the town hall used
by a party of $50 for dance. was de-
stroyed, three of the women dancers
being instantly killed by falling tim
berS.
At Merna, in addition to the town
hall, the Kinsella House was leveled
and many other structures were de
Stroyed.
Street car service in BLOOMINGTON
was resumed. this evening, but it will
be n week before the electric light
plant can resume it's service.
At Stanford, 10 miles west of Bloom
ington, a box car on a side track was
lifted from its trucks and carried 300
feet.

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE
To the Lives of Hon. and Mrs Sidney
Perham.

Mrs. Almena Jane hathaway Per-
ham, wife of former Gov Sidney Per-
ham of Maine, died Thursday morning
at her winter home in this city, No. 9O5
Westminster street, northwest She
had been i'll for about nine weeks
Gov. and Mrs. Perham lived together
but few months less than 60 years,
and the complete peace and affection
of their home life excited the
most favorable comment wherever
they were well known. For 16 years
they lived in Washington during the
winter and ut their Old home in Paris.
Me. during the summer. On New
Years day. 1888. they celebrated their
golden wedding. The occasion was
made unusually memorable by the
presence of former Postmaster General
lIoratio King, Senator William p. Frye.

resentive Nelson Dingley, Jr., Repre-
sentative Charles A. Boutelle, Judge
Johr b. Cotton, Justice c. G. Cole and
Inanv other men of great distinction
For many years Gov. Perham has been
widely known in Washington and in his
native state foremost man of af-
fairs. To-day he is 50 years Of age and
as active Intellectually and hale physi-
cally as when 20 or 80 years younger
His live has been extremely active. He
began on the basis of common school
education, supplemented by one term in
a small academy. At - he was chosen Sc
iectman of Woodstock. At 80 he was
elected to the state legislature and made
speaker on the first days session. the only
instance in the history of the state when
a person with no legislative experience
was chosen to that post He was made
presidential elector in 1856. He was
twice clerk of the supreme court for OK
ford county.
In 1862 he was elected to the House of
Representatives and was subsequently
twice reelected by increased majorities.
During this term of service and while
chairman of the House committee on pen
sions he superintended the complete re-
organization OF the pension bureau. His
election as governor occurred in 1870 and
was twice confirmed by re-elections.
The principles championed during all
these years were thoroughly reflective of
his occupations and interests. While II
farmer he developed the old farm he hal
purchased from his father into a notable
sheep raising establishment and became
thenceforth an advocate Of scientific agri
culture and stock raising. He was an
early advocate of prohibitory temperance.
He was a Democrat until 1858, when he
followed the lead of Arson =. Morrill,,
then candidate for governor.
While primarily of an executive dispo-
sition, Mr.. Perham has always been
widely celebrated as an orator. Several
of his addresses in the House-particu-
larly those on the impeachment of Presi-
dent Johnson and on Relief from Taxa
ton and the National Finances. were re-
garded as exceptionally able and effec-
tive. Since his withdrawal from active
politics Gov. Perham has served as d.
rector in many institutions of educational
or Sefeemosynary nature Washington
