LUMBER RATE REDUCTION.
Northwestern Railway Officials and
Lumber Merchants Confer.

Chicago, June 12.-As the result OF
an extended conference between traffic
officials of the Northwestern railroad
lines and the lumber merchants OF Du-
luth and Minneapolis, held in Chicago,
It is probable that an agreement on
reduction of rates on lumber from
these points to Chicago will be
reached. The railroad officials are sat-
isfied to make the Minneapolis differ
entail cents hundred pounds under
theDuluth rate. There is some differ
ence among the lumbermen, however,
on this point, and the matter was left
with the latter to settle. AS it now
stands, If the lumbermen can agree to
the rates proposed the railroads are
ready to put them in. There was some
contention for lower rates than this
on the part Of the Minneapolis men.

TERRIBLE MASSACRE.
Reported That mexican Troops Killed
Indian Men, Women and Children.

Tucson, Ariz.. June ia promi-
nent Arizona banker, Colonel Wliilam
Christy, president of the Valley banK
of Phoenix, has arrived here from Fri
etas, Sonora, with details OF a mas
sacre of Yaqui Indians, men, women
and children, in Santa Rosa canon, 80
miles from the Minas Prietas mines.
by detachment of General Iorres
troops.
Colonel Christy says that the mas
sacre occurred at daybreaK Monoay
morning. The troops were OF Torres
command, but not under him person
ally, and numbered 600. The Yaquls,
including men, women and cnliaren'
were over 200. The canon In Wnlcn
the Yaquis were camped, was long
and narrow one. Word was prougnb 10
Prietas Sunday night that the main
body of the Yaquis had left the SANTA
Rosa canon and gone further into the
mountains, leaving their women anu y,
children in the canon with a small
| guard of men. Torres dispatched ooO
troops to block the mouth of the canon
and surround the Yaquis. His instruc-
tions were to kill all men and boys
capable of bearing arms. The Mexl'
cans secreted themselves along the
side of the canon, having blocked the
entrance. At daylight they poured a
terrible and deadly fire on the unsus
pecting Yaquis, killing men, women
and children indiscriminately.
Many of the killed were mere In
fants. The slaughter, Mr.. Christy
says, was fearful, the Mexican troops
only stopping their terrible work oi
shooting and bayoneting their victims
when exhausted from their labors.
The Yaquis say they do not care tt
fight, that they are peaceably inclined
but are driven to desperation by thu
Mexicans, and, as a last resort, are
taking up arms to protect their rights
The Mexican government appears tt
be bent on exterminating the Yaqu
people, Christy says, and all men an!
. boys falling into their hands are shot

vEREENIeINe CONFERENCE.
Text of the Resolutions Adopted by the
Beers Published.

Durham, June 12.-.Mr. Schalkbur-
ger, the former acting president OF the
Transvaal, has published the text OF
the resolution adopted by the Vereenlg-
ing conference of Boer delegates May
81. This resolution expresses regret
that the conditions imposed by Great
Britain must be accepted intact or not
at all. 1t also depdores Great Brit
aims refusal to negotiate on the ba-
sis of independence or to allow COM
munication between the Boer dele
gates at Vereeniging and those In Eu-
rope. 1t recites the difficulties OF the
Beers condition, the hostility of the
natives, the impossibility OF retain
ing the British prisoners in their pos.
session, the destitution of the small
fighting remnant of Beers, the general
hopelessness of the Boer cause and the
absence of justification for contln'
uance of hostilities. The resolution
accepts the conditions imposed and
finally expresses satisfaction with the
promise of amnesty and the hope
that his majesty will extend the am
nesty still further.

People often suffer from collie and
general abdominal pain or pain at
the navel without realizing that it
originates at the appendix. At the
outset of an attack of appendicitis
it is rare indeed that the pain is locat-
ed at or near the appendix. These
pains are natures danger signals
which if needed in time, easily yield
to the proper treatment. Appendicitis
is easily developed from abdominal
trouble, and tits because the latter is
never properly treated that appendi-
citis is steadily on the increase. Ordi-
nary medicines may relieve the pain
for time.but the attack will surely
come back 1t may take week, OF
even longer but when it comes, the ac-
companyipg pain will be much more
severe, developing finally into appen'
dicitis. The reason these medicines
do not cure is because they do not gel
at the root of the trouble which is
diseased appendix. There is bu
one remedy that cures the diseased
appendix and that is DR.. Adler
treatment for Appendicitis. An occa
sional dose of this treatment will pre-
vent constipation and all abdomina
trouble, thus insuring you agains
appendicitis. A large bottle contain
ing 16 ounces of the treatment will
cure appendicitis in almost any stage
We will send this treatment by expires
prepaid for one dollar. Write for DR.

great storm Joseph Baker shot and
Instantly killed his stepson, Martin
Christopher, twenty-five years of age,
badly wounded his other stepson, Web

Pennypaeker, a Quay Man, for Chief
Executive-Platform Endorses Ma
tIonaI Administration, Condemns
Trusts and Approves the Course
Taken Against the Beef Combine.
Harrisburg, Pa, June 12.-Judge
Samuel w. Pennypacker of Philadel.
phia was nominated for governor over
Attorney General John P. Elkin OF In.
diana, by the Republican state conven-
tion by a vote of 20S to 152.
Ex-State Senator William M. Brown
of Newcastle and Major Isaac B.
Brown of Erie were nominated by ac-
clamation for lieutenant governor and
secretary of the internal affairs, re-
spectively. Senator Quay was unani-
mousIy chosen chairman of the Re
publican state committee by suspen-
sion of the rule requiring the state
chairman to be chosen by the nomi-
nees and the presiding officers OF the
convention, and he will conduct the
campaign for the state ticket.
The platform endorses the admins
tration of President Roosevelt; reaf-
firms loyalty to the principles of pro-
tective tariff; declares for pure and
honest ballot reform; condemns
trusts; approves the action of the pres
ident and attorney general in pro-
ceeding against the beef trust, and
makes no mention of the state admin
| istration.
| Pennypackcr's nomination is a per-
sonal victory for Senator Quay. Elkin
was formerly one of Quay's chief lieu
tenants and when he became candl-
date it was thought he was the sena-
tors choice. After the delegates
friendly to Elkin were elected in sew
eral counties; Quay advised against
the attorney generals candidacy in the
interest of party harmony. Elkin de-
clined to withdraw.
Pennypacker Backed by Quay.
Quay then made public declara-
ton against his candidacy and when
Pennypacker was suggested for the
nomination the senator tacitly en-
dorsed him. Elkin was backed by Gov

state administration. Quay assumed
direction of Pennypacker's campaign
and from the start predicted Elkir
would not be nominated. The senator
came here on Saturday with Senator
Penrose and Insurance Commissioner
Durham and opened headquarters fol
Pennypacker in his private residence
Elkin and his neutenants were also or
the ground early and until the strength
Of the rival candidates was revealed
at a caucus, It was conceded that the
contest was very close.
The Watres and Pennypacker dele
gates held joint caucus in which thu
leaders claimed 206 of the 35S dele
gates in the convention. The Elkin
ites declared that the count was in
correct and at midnight issued state
! ment predicting the attorney general
nomination. Quay, Penrose, Durham
and ElEin were delegates and directe'
their forces on the floor of the conven
tion.
Elkin made speech against the re
port Of the committee on contests ur

the American Proposition.
Washington, June ia cablegram
received by Secretay Hay from United
States Minister Conger at Peking con-
firms the reported acceptance by the
resident foreign ministers there of the
general proposition of the United
States government for pro rata seal
ing down of the claims Of the various
nations for indemnity on account Of
the Boxer uprising. 1t is understood.
however, that England and Japan do
not share in the reduction, for their
accounts clearly establish the fact
that their legitimate and actual ex-
penses were even more than their in
demnity claims, while the other ma
tions party to the agreement had made
themselves rather liberal allowances
in fixing the total of their claims.

VETS1ty OF OITCdyU'
Chicago, June 1.-THE Chronicle
says: Co-education at the University
of Chicago is doomed. A majority OF
both the faculty and board of trustees
Of the institution have secretly taken
a stand against the long threatened
co-educational feature, and Saturday
is the day set for official action. A
promised gift of $1;500,000 by an indi-
vidual opposed to co-education Is to
influence the decision.
The gift and its secret donor are en-
forcing the question at this time. The
donor is so anxious for the separation
of the students in the junior college
that he promises the sum for the es-
tablishment of two new quadrangles,
one for the men and another for the
women.
