A brisk melOdrama comes to the
Colonial theatre tonight-"Queen of
the Highway" Following is an incl
dent of the play: The hero, Bob
Sherwood. pony express rider, Is am
bushed by Indians, wounded and
thrown over cliff from u narrow
trail through the mountains; he saves
himself from death by clinging to a
ledge of rocks upon which he has fall
len. but he can get neither up nor down
the steep walls of rock which sur
round him. The blood from his wounds
soon attract a pack of hungry wolves,
who leap down upon the rock where
he lies, from the trail above; he bat
ties them off for time,
with his hunting knife, but
is about to give up the fight from ex-
haustion, when Rainbow, an Indian
girl appears on her pony and p IS the
wolves to fight. Then comes the prob
lem of how to raise the stricken man
to the trail above. There Is little time
to think, as the wolves show n dispo-
sition to return to the attack. Nothing
daunted, Rainbow throws Bob the end
of long lariat which she carries on
her saddle, telling him to tie tito his
belt. She slips the moose of the other
end over the pommel of the stout Mex
lean saddle on the ponys back, and
turning his head away from the pre-
cipice, hauls Bob up to safety. This
is said to be a most thrilling and eff
fective climax.

Senate and House Continue the End
 less Discussion.
 WASHINGTON, May 2.--Aguina.do was the special subject of discussion in the senate yesterday. AS soon as the Philippine government bill was talk en up MT. Carmack CTenn.) resumed his criticism of the Philippine committee because of it's refusal to call Aguinaldo and other Filipinos as witnesses. He maintained that as reflections by wit nesses had been cast on the character of Aguinaldo he ought to be permitted '.in all decency" to defend himself.
 Mir. Carmack's $ contention was sharp ly combated by Mir. Foraker (O), Mir. McComas (Md.) and Mir. Burton (kan.). Mr. Culberson CTex.), in support of q statement by MT. Carmack that the war department suppressed inforina- ton and falsified the Philippine situa- ton, presented letter from the sec retary of war which, he thought, was proof of the Tennessee senator's as SertiOn
 The house gave most of the day to the District of Columbia appropriation bill, which was not completed. MT. Shattuc (O) spoke on industrial condi- tions and Mir. Gaines (Tenn.) in crit icism of conditions in the Philippines.

Reduced Consumption of Beef Causes
 Slump In Prices.
 CHICAGO, May 2.-Depreciation in the price of cattle and reduction in consumption during the last three days are said, on the most trustworthy au- thority, to have resulted in loss of $200,000 to the live stock raisers adja- cent to Chicago. Taking in the other in dustries closely identified with the cat tie trade, the loss is said to run over $5OO,o0O
 In Rockford, H., where the condi- tions are said to be a sample of those in other cities in northern Illinois, the demand for meat has fallen off 371a per cent. The packers men, asked about the reductions. refuse to impart any in formation. They say that they have not been able to secure figures on which to base an accurate estimate.
 One of the largest packers in the business and admittedly one of the best posted cattlemen in the United States said: Business today is the worst 1 ev- CT saw. It is simply paralyzed. In fact, there is no business at all for the packing houses. If this agitation and falling off ill consumption continues, don't know what will happen. Certain it is that if the agitation continues the worst is yet to come"

s16.693.6s


 This report was presented by Attor- ney Cole. Receiver IF. $. Chase was put on the stand and examined as to the above after which the court accept ed the report and ordered his decision be recorded by the clerk. This order of the court winds up the business of the G. s. Parsons banking house legal ly. Nothing now remains to be done but to distribute the balance on hand among the depositors and the bank is no more.
 On October ?, 1898. receivers were appointed by Judge Wheeler to take possession of the bank. RumorS be- gan to spread about this time that the Dime bank, situated in the same build ing was on the verge of bank ruptcy. There was wild rush of depositors to get their money and a force of policemen were necessary to keep order around the doors of the bank.
 Those who were depoSitors in the Parsons bank have already received forty-two per cent of their money. Three per cent more will be added to this making in all forty-fve per cent which depositors will receive of their full amount ill the bank when the re- ceivers took possession on October 7, 1898.
 The following cases were set down for hearing by the court next week: Tuesday. Elisha Leavenworth vs Mar tin P. LawIor Wednesday. The Eagle Lock company vs Carl O. Noak. Anon J. Scovill's appeal from probate was taken off the docket. The case of Got fried Gerou against the Consolidated Railroad company is in process of set tlement. The case of Brown against the city may be heard week after next. All of the cases i'll which Senator Ken nedy is interested in went over until his return from the west.

AN ANSWER
EpIroR WApswoRrH DIsPArcH:

EDllOR w ADSWOKlH
Believing that you in all fairness
would not willingly wrong any man or
body Of men | hereby request you to
publish a refutation of the article
written by Index in your issue Of Oct.
2ist inst. to wit:
"For the present 1t may suffice to
hint at but two instances. one Of which,
some time ago, involved the futile eff
fort on the part of certain organizers.
to establish a miners union at Weder
kind; the other refers to a certain tram
saction by a local brick firm with a
non union b~ricklayer who vas then in
the employ Of Mr.. Sparks.
Under severe pressure Mr.. Sparks
yielded at last; and today. Saturday.
was set for organizing a union at his
mines.
In conclusion. it is almost safe to
say, that. unless Mr.. Sparks had been
awakened to a recognition OF the vast
importance OF the labor vote in the
eleventh hour Of a campaign; or if that
gentleman we're not a candidate for the
governorship. the dream Of a miners
Inion at Weekend might now be as
far from realization as eve before
A committee of the Building Trades
Council of Reno waited upon John
Sparks about the middle of August to
see If he had any objection to the or
ganization of a miners union at Wede-
kind City. At that time las before
upon a certain occasion he expressed
himself as in favor of unions and the
committee then waited upon the men
at the mine stating to them the posi-
ton taken by their employer. They
ere Interested and asked for more
information relative to union matters,
reading matter was furnished them
and they then began ca~nyassing amons
themselves and last Thursday they
notified us that they would be ready to

time they we're duly installed. And

which are strictly union matters and do

Sparks was not held in any way liable
as he was a victim Of circumstances
over which he he'd no control.

was elected a member Of the Elko

will not expire until the coming first Of

How comes it, then. that he is now
