Middlesboro, KY, Feb. Alt was
reported here on the streets last
night that Lee Turner, proprietor Of
the burned "Quarter House." who es-
capped from the palisades with his
brother, General" during the battle
Wednesday afternoon, has been all

purpose of gathering around him
enough men to come against the Mid

and killed his stanchest supporters.
The Middcsboro men are greatly
alarmed and have mustered into serv-
ice all who are available, The band

have remained together all day.

said that she had not heard from her

The Reason Why.

Merchants often express surprise
at the immense amount Of goods
bought by our people from the east.
ern department stores, and wonder
why it is. They would be more sur.
prised at the volume il they could see
the amount Of money sent by bank
drafts, express and money orders.
The reason is these houses advertise
their goods in every way within their
power you scarcely find a farmer in
the country but can tell you the name
and address of at least three or four
of these establishments. The coun-
try merchant too often makes up his
mind that advertising is expensive
and does not pay him, bu. his com
petitor OF the mail order house figures
the other way. He is forced to ad.
vertise in the most expensive way.
He has to spend an enormous amount
Of money to cover the field, and only
catches an occasional customer as
compared with the mass of customers
within reach OF the country merchant
through the medium OF the local
newspaper, with its moderate charges.
The odds are greatly in favor Of the
local merchant whn he meets his
competitor in his advertising, as he
always does in his goods and prices

THE CHINESE MUST GO
verton, Col. Secretary Hay Telegraphs
Gov. Orman on the Matter.

Denver, Col, Feb. 13.-Gov. Orman
yesterday made public u telegram
which he received from Secretary OF
State Hay saying that Chinese resi-
dents, about 70 in number, had been
ordered to leave Silverton under
threat of violence and asking Gov.
Orman to take action for the protec-
ton of their rights.
Gov. Orman said that he knew
nothing of any trouble at Silverton
until he received Secretary Hays tele-
gram, but he Immediately wrote the
sheriff of San Juan county to send
him full particulars Of the trouble.
A special to the Post from Silver
ton yesterday said; "Of the 80 Chi
nese who resided in Silverton ten days
ago rs remain. The remaining rs, 1t
is believed, will depart within the
next week or so. When the last
Chinaman leaves the ban against the
yellow man will be strictly enforced,
and hereafter no Mongolians will be
allowed in this district. The hegira
of the past ten days Is due to the
boycott declared two weeks ago by
the union laboring men Of Silverton,
including the Miners union, the Fed
eral union and the Cooks and Wait
ers' union. These unions declared
against patronizing either Chinese
restaurants or lsundries In Silverton,
and their proprietors were quickly in
formed that they could not remain
here"

 Salvation Army Meeting.

Patrick Boyle, a fifteen-year- boy who works in Winchester's, was arrest ed last night about 9 o'clock on the charge of disturbing a religious meet ing. The Salvation army members were holding a meeting in a tent pitched in the lot belonging to A. Maxcy Hitler at Argyle street and Shelton avenue, and were singing What Friend We Have in Jesus" when Boyle and some friends came along. They are all up in the popular ditties of the day, and, under the leadership of Boyle, burst out sing ing "Ain't That a Shame" etc, under the very flaps Of the tent.
 Their singing was so inharmonious and loud that the Salvation meeting was broken up and complaint made to the Dixwell avenue police Patrol man Recor was sent to the place and arrested Boyle, and as he was being led away his pals sang in solemn tones the ballad that broke up the religious meeting.

TO DEAL WITH TRUSTS.
Russia Proposes m International Com
 ference to Deal With Them.

London, July 1z-Details of an im- portant move by Russia which have been recently suppressed hitherto by the censor, have come to light in Lon- don. This move is no less than a pro- posal by the imperial government for an international conference to deal with
 trusts.
 Baron De Staal, Russian ambassador
 in London, about ten days ago pre- sented to the British government a note from M. De Witte, the Russian minister of finance, which note was sent also to all the powers that signed the Brus- sells sugar convention, proposing that these powers should consider, in com mon, means to protect international commerce against the artificial depres- sion of prices, not onlW by government l measures, such as export bounties or the control of production, but also py | the much more dangerous processes
 adopted by trusts, private undertakings or cartels, which tend artificially to ln- f1uence the international market.
 This explains the mysterious refer
 ence made in the Financial Messenger of St. Petersburg, early this week, 10
 a recent note by M. De Witte, Wnicn
 the paper said ''is an application, in the
 economic domain of the principles oI | The Hague conference"

WARRANTS FOR STRIKERS.
Assistant City Attorney Tyner Issued
 Two Yesterday Afternoon.

On account of the attack made upon James NJ. Collins, of 5SS Grand avenue. Wednesday night by some of the Sar- gent strikers, and as result of a con- ference between Mir. Tyner and Attor- ney J. P. Goodhart, representing the sargents, the assistant city attorney late yesterday afternoon issued war rants for the arrest of two of the strik- CTS. but up to an early hour this morn ing they had not been apprehended by the police. The men for whom the war rants were issued are not the strike leaders, but are those directly respon- sible for the arrest of Collins, who was taken in charged with carrying conceal ed weapons.
 It is said that some of the officials of Sargent & Co. took further steps yester- day to prosecute other strikers who have tried to coerce and intimidate some of the non-union workers of the shops. Arrests will probably follow to- day.
