Rome, Oct. 14.-An agricultural
strike has broken out in the district
of Syracuse. Sicily. The carbineers
who were sent to preserve order were
received at Giacratana with volleys OF
stones. They fired their revolvers in
the air but this failed to overawe the
rioters, who dragged one of the sol
diers into a house and killed him. The
carbineers then endeavored to retreat
to their barracks to procure rifles, but
they were SO closely pressed by the
mob that they were compelled to fire
their revolvers in self-defense, with
the result that two peasants were
killed and others were wounded.

Many Des Moines Men Want 20 Get
His Ear.
Des Moines Oct. 7-There are indf-
cations that If Secretary Shaw wants
to have peace this year he will not per-
init himself to be sent to Des Moines
during the campaign or thru Des
Moines The postoffice location war is
on in earnest and is being bravely
fought out in the newspapers. regard
less of the views of the officials OF the
government charged with responsible +
ty. The river front matter is again up.
Some of the property owners want the
new postoff1ce located down near where
the waves ripple against the blue grass
sod of the city parks. and others want
the postoffice up town, where the bust-
ness men do the rustling. All sorts of
rumors are in circulation.
The fact is that only a few sites are
available, as the government wants
nearly block of ground surrounded by
streets. It has been reported the SUI
pervising architect favored a certain
site but there iS no evidence of this.
There is general belief that Secretary
Shaw, with his acquaint tance in Des
Moines, will personally decide the mat
ter; therefore there are groups and
cliques of business men lying In wait
to apprehend him should he come this
way and induce him to favor them. IL
Shaw gets into Des Moines he will hear
