WANTS A DEPUTY SHERIFF.
Kendall Constable Cannot Afford to
Hold His Office.
(Kendall Chronicle. }


Kendall is the least governed town
in the county. There is not a peace
officer within Is miles of the place,
and a justice of the peace Is an un.
known and an unheard character. Un-
til within a few days ago Richard
Stephens acted as deputy sheriff, and
attended to criminal matters here
abouts. But he found that his private
fortune was not large enough to sup
port the dignity of the office, so he
resigned his portfolio and is now
struggling along as private citizen.
Mr.. Stephens made good officer,
and filed the place with credit; but
the county commissioners did not feel
disposed to compensate him for his
services. Every time he made an ar
rest and took the prisoner to Lewis
town 1t cost him a merry penny. The
last man he took to the county seat
was W. NJ. Kelly. a petty larceny
thief. His expenses were as follows:

THIS WEEK IN coNcREes.
0Ieomarsarinc Fill in House, Philip.
pine Tariff Measure In Senate.

Washington, Feb 3.-Th!5 promises
to be an interesting week in the house.
The oleomargarine bill has been mcde
a special continuing order for today.
and after 1t Is disposed of, which PROB
ably will be tomorrow, the bin for the
repeal of the war revenue taxes will
follow. While both sides are unanl-
nous in feyor Of the repeal OF these
taxes, It is TIE intention OF the Dem
ocrats To open up the whole tariff
question during the debate on this bill
and they will make a strong fight for
ample time for discussion. The ques-
tion Of Cdban reciprocity is also likely
to be debated at length, as members on
both sides of the house are anxious to
define their position. The friends of
the oleomargarine bill have no doubt
OF its passage. The bill is practically
the old Grout bill imposing a tax of 10
cents pound on products colored in
imitation of butter and to make re-
tail dealers who color oleomargarine
subject to the same penalties as the
manufacturers.
For the most part the senate will di-
vide it's time this week between the
Philippine tariff bill and the bill in
creasing the salaries of members of
the federal judiciary.
Today Senator Hale will report the
urgency deficiency bill and ask to have
it considered tomorrow. The amend
ments in this bill. providing for the
entertainment of Prince Henry and the
expenses Of this country incident to
the coronation, may lead to some dis
cussion, but no doubt is entertained
of the final favorable disposition Of
those items.

death and disaster to sailors and their
craft. Reports OF loss of life are CON

is not known what vessels the mea
who lost their lives come from. They

Big Merchantmen Stranded.
The crew of the American merchant
man Schepp, full-rigged ship which
went ashore on Long Beach q. ID
shoels early Sunday. were in peril all
day. Late reports say they are still
on the stranded vessel, though the
danger of death has been lessened,
owing to the slight abatement of the
storm. A westerly gale was blowing
at the rate of 70 miles an hour when
the Schepp struck at $3.50 a. IN. The
men from Captain Rhoades' life saving
station, mile to the east, dragged
their mortar to the scene of the wreck,
reaching the Schepp about daybreak,
and found the seas breaking over her
bow and stern. She was about 1000
feet from the shore and tossing heay
lily with every thrust CT the huge
breakers. Nearly every spar in her
was twisted or broken. Several of the
crew could be seen ON deck, running to
and fro in apparent efforts to keep
from freezing to death. The life saw
ers made several attempts to shoot the
life lines over the ship, but their ef-
forts were not successful. They then
tried to launch the life beat, but this
proved impossible, owing to the high
seas.
The crews of the tugs John Atwood
and =. S. Befwind had a very narrow
escape from going to the bottom with
their craft yesterday. Nothing was
known of their plight until the arrival
of the German steamer Barcelona, the
crew. Of which rescued the tug men.
The tugs had been delivering provis-
ions to the stranded steamer SAVIOUR
ashore at Long Beach, and were pro-
ceeding back to this point, when the
gale struck them. The waves not only
swept off everything movesble. but
flooded their kolds and got into the
fire boxes. The seven men on each
tug were in imminent danger Of death
for over two hours. The tugs were
absolutely helpless and gradually sink
Ing when the Barcelona hove in sight
and took the half-frozen crews aboard.
Within half an hour after this the two
tugs went TO the bottom.

MINERS AND OWNERS MEET.
eresidcnt John Mitchell! Submits De
nands of the Workers.

Indianapolis, Feb. 1.-The joint con-
ference Of coal miners and operators
settled down to business yesterday.
The position Of the miners was stated
by President Mitchell in a speech OF
considerable length. He said an in
crease of 10 per cent in pay was de-
manded for the reason that prices for
coal were now uniformly better than
ever before. They asked for the fiat
differential, he said, because the pres
ent arrangement was so unfair that it
could not be defended. The run of mine
system, he said, was the only honest
way of paying miners, as by the screen
method only two-thirds of the coal
Iained Is paid for.
f. L. Robbins, the Pennsylvania cp-
orator, spoke for the employers in op-
position to the proposed scale. He
said Mr.. Mitchell based his claim for
an advance on the ground that prices
of ccal had advanced. II it could be
shown that prices had not increased
the argument would, therefore, fail.
As matter Of fact he said, prices
had decreased.

The court, IN q lengthy decision Of
the case, which was instituted by Sam
uel Stevenson, brother-in-law Of
John Alexander Dowie declared that
Dowie's church, the Christian Catholic
church, was o curious mixture Of re-
ligion and business.
He held that Stevenson had, by
undue influence exerted by Dowie,
head Of the church, been led to turn
over to Dowie practically everything
he had, and held that Stevenson was
entitled TO at least 100000 from
Dowie, or the lace industries, which he
said were practically tho same thing.
Undue influence was the chies top'c
discussed by the judge in his decision.
Dowie, he said, was unquestionably tie
superior Of Stevenson both in intellect
and business ability. Dowie, he de-
clared, was religious zealot, Steven
son follower. Stevenson, like others
in Zion, followed Dowie blindly. They
made him the agent of the Almighty
on earth, destined to build up cities of
Zion in every country in the world.
