AccUMuLATlNG STRIKE FUND.
United Mine Workers Preparing for
the Struggle.

|
Indianapolis, Ind, March 25.-The
United Line Workers of America,
whose national offices are in Indian
apolis, have for some time been max
ing preparations for trouble in both
the Pennsylvania anthracite region
and the bituminous fields of West
Virginia and Virginia, and it is said
that the organization is in better po-
sition than ever before to make a
fight for recognition. The January
convention Of the miners in Indian.
apolis empowered the national execu.
tive board to levy a strike assessment
of 10 cents a month per member. The
board met Immediately following the
adjournment of the joint conference
of the miners and operators and no
time was lost in ordering the special
assessment. The first returns are
now coming in at the national head
quarters. It is expected that this
source alone will net the organization
for strike purposes something like
$4,000 or $4,000 a month, as it is
understood that over 100000 miners
are paying the assessment.

mel. That is the most of it is in the
hands of Sheriff Potter. Mortgages,
executions and attachments have fair
ly taken the plant by storm during
the past week, and in some places it
is covered three or four deep with the
little billet doux issued by the Lord
High Executioner. Even the Sentinel
plant was favored with a nice little
pink, scented attachment, and but for
the kindness of Under Sheriff Kauff-
man, who, to favor us, appointed one
of the firm a keeper of the plant, we
would be both comfortless and jobless
today. But the deputy's heart melt
ed and the Lord still reigns. Nothing
escaped the eagle eye of the officer,
who became quite %"grabical" during
his short stay, and all the personal
property belonging to, or constitut-
ing a part of the mining company was
taken in charge, and all they have left
is their reputation, which should be
%fumigated and aired for some time.
The Gebo coal mine has been a
bone of contention ever since the two
principal promoters, Strohm and Gebo,
began to work at cross purposes some
five years ago. The quarrel started
at that time has been kept up ever
since by all the succeeding manage
ments and although the deposit of
coal is one of the best in the state
and fully $150,000 were invested in
the mine and plant, there is no en-
terprise that will stand. the continued
internal dissension of its owners, and
the result is no surprise to anyone, al.
though it has caused universal re-
greet. But Gebo need not despair, as
good towns have oftentimes been es-
tablished under less favorable cir
cumstances than those that are still
possessed by the wonderful Clarke
Fork valley and it's tributaries. Let
us bear in mind that we have many
other valuable besides the
mining of coal.

London, March 25.-The Daily

has been arranged pending the dura-

Wet, and that offensive operations
against De Wet, Delarey and Botha
have been suspended. The three gen.
erals have agreed to observe the
armistice honorably until the return
of the ENJOYS to the Boer lines. 1t

Botha with the result of their mission,
will again confer with Lord Kitchener,

Davenport, Iowa, March 25.-Pader-
ewski caused a lot of commotion
among the yardmen of the Rock Is
land road here when he came from
Chicago to Davenport to give a con-
cert, travelling in his private car. Here
he insisted that the car be turned
around for the return trip, as he could
not or would not sleep except with his
head toward the engine.
It was soon found that there was no
turn-table in this vicinity big enough
for his seventy-toot Pullman. After

had about determined to run the car

QUESTIONS OF COUNSEL PRO
woke HIM TO LAUGHTER.
ANSWERS PROMPTLY GIVEN
Objected to Presence Of Photograph.
ers and When Examination Was
Over Gave Them the slip.

New York, March 26.-J.. Pierpont
Morgan gave evidence today before
Special Examiner Mabey in the suit
OF Peter Power against the Northern
Pacific Railway company. He was
questioned for two hours and a half
by George Alfred Lamb Of counsel
for Power, and during that time he
answered questions rapidly and with
out the slightest appearance Of re-
serve. Only ono or twice when ques.
lions were asked concerning the re-
%lationship of J.. P. Morgan & Co. with
the firms customers did he decline to
answer.
Before the examination was over
Mr.. Morgan objected to the presence
of a number Of photographers, and
they were directed to leave the room.
During the examination MI. Nor
gan leaned back heavily in his chair,
his left hand thrust from time to time
deeply in his trousers pocket. He
toyed with an envelope impatiently,
now knocking it against his knee, and
now against the table on which his
right arm rested. His eyes expressed
Impotence. They roamed about in
extreme restlessness while questions
were being put to him, but the mo-
ment he was ready to answer they
fixed themselves on Mr. Lamb. Sew
eral times during the hearing the
financier seemed amused.
Once Mr.. Lamb asked IL the price
of the Northern Pacific did not 60
above its real value while his firm
was buying it in May, 1901.
NO" said MI. Morgan, so amused
that he had to stop to control himself
before he answered. TT did when they
came to deliver the stock but not
when they actually bought"
At another point the witness was
asked If Mr.. Hill had not told him
that there was danger that the Har-
riman syndicate would buy the Bur-
lington.
mo-" he replied, 'but such a thing
was only to be expected; the papers
had much in them about railroad in
terest buying roads. believe that
within a few days we bought every
railroad in the United States" and
Mr.. Morgan laughed.
After his examination had been fin
through several doorways to Judge
Walace's private chamber, whence he
made his way out of the building. All
this was necessary to get away from
a number Of photographers who were
waiting in n Of the Railways to take
the financier's picture, as he left the
examination room.

GET A
Old Firms to Care for states Prison
ers and Insane.

Sr8 6n0
Tuesday afternoon the state boards
of prison commissioners and commits
sioners for the are Of the insane met
at Helena and went through the form
Of receiving bids for caring for the
states prisoners and insane during
the next two years. Conley & Nc
Tague and Mitchell & Mussigbrod, as
on former occasions, were the success
full bidders, the first again being
awarded the contract for feeding,
clothing and guarding the prisoners,
while the other firm will have charge
of the insane. As they were the only
ones to submit bids the task of award
ing the contracts was an easy one.
When the boards, consisting Of the
governor, attorney general and secre-
tary Of state, met the governor pre-.
sented two envelopes, submitted in
response to the official advertisement
calling for bids, and the bids were
declared closed. The proposals were
then considered and it was found that
Conley & McTague offered to care
for the convicts for two years from
Monday, June 16, 1902, at the rate Of
As cents a day for each prisoner, the
contractors to supply food, medical
attendance etc.
The bid of Mitchell & Mussigbrod
for the care Of the insane vas for two
years from April 6, 1902, at the rate
of e5 cents a day for each inmate Of
the asylum.
The price paid to each firm remains
the same as under the old contracts,
now nearing a close.

MUST DIP THEM.
State Veterinarian After Owners Of
Nancy Horses.

Man9ey Horses.
The appearance of mango among
the range horses of the northern part
OF the state has assumed proportions
sufficient to warrant the state veter-
marian to issue a circular letter to
the owners of animals in the affect
ed localities calling attention to the
existence of the disease and ordering
them to dip their cayuses or be SUBJ
ject to such action as the state may
see fit to take. The necessity for
prompt compliance with the order is
made plain and it is believed that no
cases will be found necessitating in
reference by the state beyond the ac-
ton already taken.
1t is said that the disease is quite
common in some of the herds in Cas-.
cade county, but apparently exists to
a greater degree further down the
Missouri, as the following taken from
the Benton River Press would show:
Among Montana range horse, says that
paper, scab, or mango, is a rare dis
ease, but it is prevalent among the
horses ranging between the Teton and
Missouri, west Of Fort Benton. State
Veterinarian Knowles has notified sew
eral horse of this city that
they must dip all their horses run
ming in the section named, DR..
Knowles circular states that H. H.
Nelson has built a dipping tank at
his Lake Basin ranch and will permit
all who wish to do so to treat their
horses there free of charge. Horses
not treated will be dipped by the state
and the cost taxed against the ami
mails.
Does Little Damage.
It is said that the disease does but
little damage to affected animals and
is described as being like the "buffalo
Itch which was prevalent among the
cattle of northern Montana a couple
OF years ago. Unless steps are taken
to eradicate the disorder it is feared
the foreign market may quarantine
against the state, and thereby entail
serious loss and inconvenience to
many horse owners.
The treatment pursued with the
disease is not unlike that employed
with scabby sheep. II an affected ami
NAL shows only a few NANCY spots a
strong, hot solution of tobacco or
tobacco sheep dip, well rubbed in with
a coarse brush, is said to be a very
eficacious remedy. II the animal,
however, is generally affected then
dipping, after the manner of sheep,
becomes necessary.

Motion to Admit Defendants Release
on Bail Denied in Clark
Case.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
With a lot of work at home requir
ing their attention and the season ad
vancing when the poor granger is ex
pected to hump himself il he intends
to get any of the benefits that bounte'
ous nature is prepared to bestow upon
those who pay due heed to her re.
quirements, the tillers of the soil who
may find themselves impressed to
serve their country as jurors at this
time of year are not the most con.
tented and happy persons on earth.
They consider such enforced service
as an imposition and wonder why
some of the fellows about town who
have nothing else to do cannot be
forced to take seats in the box and
listen to- a lot of tiresome testimony
and long drawn out and sometimes
even more tiresome arguments by the
lawyers.
Although not a rancher himself,
Judge Loud understands the feelings
of those on the subject who are, and
is willing to accommodate them when
ever possible by granting them their
discharges. In his boyhood days he
guide a pillow among the stoney hills
of one of the eastern states and 'fod-
dered the cattle" and his sympathy
has ever since been with the man who
is compelled to follow rural pursuits.
Prompted by this regard, yesterday
he asked the attorneys in several
cases set for trial during the next few
days if they would consent to their
trial by jurors drawn from box No. 3,
the box which contains the names of
all residents of the city who are
eligible to act as jurymen. Assent
being given, he made an order excus-
ing for the term the panel then serv-
ing, composed of men from the coun-
try and ordered 80 names to be

that the prisoner be admitted to bail,
pending further proceedings in the
case, a notice of a motion for a new

direction of an appeal from the judg-

ton was denied and the court pro-
nounced judgment, which was that
the defendant be confined in the state

him, and to pay the costs of the &C.
