this young ruffian little more than
was meet, was silent also.
When they reached the house the
elder lady gave a little sigh and fell
back upon her usual solace in times of
anxiety.
II think we shall both feel better"
she chirped, as she carefully opened
the front door with her latch-key,
"when we've had q cup Of tea"
1t was about couple Of hours after
the termination of the scene between
Jem Stickels and the two ladies, and
the clock of the tower Of ST. Martins
at Stroan had just chimed q quarter
past ergnr. wnen smaG boy Durst
into the bar parlor of the Bell Inn,
and startled the company by the
scared expression of his face. he had
been running fast, and it was some
moments before he could articulate.
In the meantime the questions put to
him were so many that the confusion
of tongues delayed the lads announce
ment still further.
1t was Hemming, the London de-
tective, who finally drew the boy out
of the curious group and made them
wait for him to speak.
With another scared look the lad at
last painted out:
There's a man lynn out there on
the road-the Courtstairs road little
way past the big house. An l see him
layin'-an' 1 speaks to imam he
didn't answer, an he didn't move.
An'-an'-an' so 1 run right away, an
come here to tell you"
1t seemed pretty evident that the
boy had not said all he knew OF
guessed. There was a rush for the
door by the occupants Of the bar par
lor, and in a few moments there was
q stream of people tricllling out in the
darkness along the little quay by the
little river, past the barges waiting to
be unloaded. past the ancient stone
gateway of Streams prosperous days.
Over the brand-new bridge they went,
in twOs and threes, and out upon the
fat road over the marshes, taking as
their rightful leader the detective
Hemming, who, being afraid that the
frightened boy might give him the slip
held his arm as if in kindly comrade-
ship. The night was dark, and one of
Hemming's nearest followers held a
lantern, which threw ray of dancing
light to right and left upon the white
road, the ditch on either side, the wide
stretch Of marsh to the left. and the
dull line of the sea far away on the
right.
Just past the "big house." lonely
mansion standing in fiat, wind-swept
grounds between Stroan and the sea,
they came upon the man, lying, as the
boy had described, by the side of the
road. with his head hanging over on
the grassy bank that sloped into the
ditch.
"There-there he isw whispered the
boy, hoarsely.
Hemming beckoned to the man be-
hind to bring up the lantern. kneel-
ing down beside the man on the ground

upon his face.

exclaimed more than one voice, recog-
nIzing the heavy, sullen face OF the
fisherman, who was well known in the
ncighborhood.
"Here! Give him some OF this; lts
brandy" said one man, handing a
flask to Hemming.
But the detective shook his head.
Hes had his last drink, poor chap!
said he. Hes dead!'

YOUNG GIRLS DISAPPEAR.
7ozeman Lassies Believed to Have
EIoped With Unknown Parties.

Bozeman, Aug. 25.-Bozeman was
treated to- a sensation this morning,
when Lula Baker and Jennie Coale,
aged about 10 and Is years, eloped
with some unknown parties, and at
this time no trace has been found of
either of them. Lulu Baker, the
youngest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
J.. d. Baker, left her room in the
Story block some time during the
night, and so far as is known only
had her underclothes on, for every
thing else in the way of clothes was
found this morning in her room. Jen-
ME Coale is supposed to have left
her home between 10 o'clock and mid
night, taking with her most Of her
wearing apparel. 1t is believed the
girls have eloped. Diligent search
has been made all through the day
by the police and sheriff's office, but
SO far without any results.
Both girls are well known in Boze-
man, Lula Baker being the daughter
of J.. D. Baker, the grocer, and Miss
Coale the daughter Of j. C. Coale,
formerly engineer of the Electric
Light company. Both were members
OF the Sunday school class of the
Baptist church and were always re-
garded as being very nice young
ladies.
Two young men are suspected Of
completely in the affair, but the dis
appearance of the girls is wrapped in
mystery and the officers are non
plused.

Mitchell Willing to Arbitrat.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 25.-The
committee from the public alliance of
this city, which waited on Senators
Quay and Penrose lat Atlantic City
last week, and urged them to use
their good Offices to bring about arbi-
tration in the strike, performed a
like mission in this city today, when
they called upon President Mitchell
and requested him to cooperate with
the Pennsylvania senators to bring
about a settlement of the strike. MI.
Mitchell said he would do anything
that was honorable to bring about an
adjustment and he supplied the COM
mittee with statistics of the strike
from a miners point of view. This
forwarded to Senator Quay last
night.
It has been learned that President
Mitchell was shaken up in a railroad
wreck at Reising, ILL.,, last Monday.
The train ran into a washout and Mr..
Mitchell was thrown with much force
from his berth.

between Lynn and, Nahant, where they
met the president and his party as
they came from Nahant. There was
q rapid change of carriages, the mayor
entering that OF the president, in place
of J. T. Wilson of the Nahant select

to the city hall. Factories, shops and
stores generally closed at noon and
the streets yer thronged. Fully
$1,000 people lined the way and the
cheers resounded continually.
The presidents appearance on the
speakers stand caused a swelling
of applause to extend from the
platform out over the throng. The
cheering broke out afresh as the pres
ident arose to speak. His address
was brief and at it's conclusion he
was escorted to the railroad station
to take the train for Boston.

what I want to say to you about this

many and very difficult problems with
which we are faced as one Of the re-
suits of the forces which, taken alto

ut is worse than useless for any, of
us to rail at or regret the growth in
industrial civilization in the half cen
fury. Speaking accidentally, we
can, according to our several tempera-
ments, regret that the old lights have
vanished, or not, as we choose. Boston
and the thriving cities of Massachu-
sets have been built up as a result
OF those forces. There is but little
use in regretting that things have
not shaped themselves differently.
The practical thing to do is to face
the conditions as they are and see Il
we cannot get the best there is in
them out Of them. We are not going
to get any complete or perfect solu-
ton for all of the evils which come
to u minds when we think of the

part A good many different ways

We have got to, first of all, think

all, show by our actions that our in.

modic, and we have got to see that.

He said there was no chance of
arbitration Sc long as only one side,
the miners, were willing to arbitrate.
He gave it as his opinion that the
miners would not give in so long as
they are able to fight. It will be pro-
longed and such prolongation will
mean not only hardship for the min
ers and women and children depend

the strike continues, the greater will
be the increase in price.

General Goblin is using his good Of

/, DEFEAT OF TAX CODE
History of the Memorable Struggle
in Both Houses.

History of the Memorable Struggle
in Both Houses.
In tangible results the session was not
fruitful Its chief benefit was educa-
t1onal, The agitation started by the tax
code was only a beginning of campaign
that will last for generations in Mime
sofa. -
Conservatism won the day. The pro-
posed tax code threatened a disturbance
in every branch of business, and as a
result powerful combination of inter-
ests bore down upon members Of the leg
1slature. The pressure was toe severe.
prominent senator who favored the
new measure said after its defeat: y
This extra session has taught RE one
thing: We can never pass a general
tax code in this state. The reform will
have to be gradual
The nature Of this reform will be for
future Legislatures to decide, and will
-dolibtIes be the issue at. elections for 4
number of years to come. 1 Before the
tax commission made it's report, not more
than enc man in ten in Minnesota had
ever heard of the income tax. Now it is
the ISSUE It has the endorsement of the
late tax commission. Because they en-
dorsed the idea, and were prevented by
the constitution from putting it in the
law, opponents of the code argued for
deldy, auu oLey WoH. me present TAX
system is known to be unjust. Some in
terests almost escape. others pay more
than their share. but all are used to the
plan, and fear disturbance. About. the

the change were owners of %Fcity real

Banks protested against law that would

darkened. When the legislature met, the
storm broke.
State Auditor Dunn was opposed to
many features Of the bill. When called
before the house committee he was only
prevented by personal pressure from say
ing: s4 . $50. Ill.
my advice is to pass the real estate
features Of the tax bill submit some con-
stitutional amendments, and then go
home .u III
That is what the legislature did. Yet
the session was not a failure, and the
money it cost was we'll spent. 1t has
built for the future. The eyes of the
people have been opened to many things.
The burden Of taxation is not equal, and
people will seek hereafter to make it
equal. New issues have been raised,
which will never cease to be alive until
they are titled.
Incidentally, some political careers were
made by the extra session, and some were
unmade, but that is another story"
