that he is beginning to fear that IL he
wishes to retain his seat as pencil
pusher for the democratic machine he
must get busy" He was up in Dn-
buque Friday and the following tel
egram from that city tells of the Sc
cret meeting he held there with other
members Of the faithful: ~
Dubuque, Aug. S.-(SpeciaD A..
met number of prominent Dubuque
democrats at Julien.
Among those present We're John FL
wanger, John Mulgrow and Alphonso
Matthews. One of these gentlemen
says they talked over matters relat-
ing to the coming campaign in Iowa.
This ma ybe true, but it is under
stood that Mr.. Walsh made it plain
to the gentlemen present that there
was determined effort to have him
ousted from the secretaryship of the
national democratic committee, and he
urged them to do all they could for him
in the way of preventing his retire
ment.
One of the Dubuquers is reported as
saying that it would have a very bad
effect on the democratic party in Iowa
if Mr. Walsh were shelved.
Those who attended the conference
are close-mouthed and there are some
democrats whe believe that Mr.. Walsh
was not as solicitous about the demo.
cratic party of Iowa" as he was about
retaining his position as secretary OF
the national committee, position
which gives him some prestige. II
Some of those whom Mr.. Walsh in.
vited to attend the conference failed tc
put in an appearance, and are now civ
ing various excuses for not being able
to be present.

THE scHooLMA'AMs LAMENT.

(The Kansas legsla .ure requires woman
school teachers to sign contracts agreeing
not to receive men callers during the
school year,
If the teacher must teach just as hard as
she can
From morning It'll evening each day.
And never, no never, hold hands with a
man
From September till way long in May.
If Kansas keeps growing its corn and It's
wheat
In sizes the world will remember
And her young men must work without
stopping to eat
From May clear along to September.
If the Kansas girls work while the
Kansas men rest
And the men begin work when they
stop,
How long will it be bafose Kansas is
blest
With old maids for its principal crop?

In the plaintiffs petition it is stated
that on Dec. 16, 1901, the bond COM
pany for consideration of $50, agreed
to make good any pecuniary losses Of
the money handled by the treasurer OF
the concern, H. c. Boardman. In Mo-

POINTING CASE
WAS HEARD
The Local Land Office Will Pass
On the Case Against
w. s. Robbins

The hearing of Hiram NJ. Hamilton
by John Pointing, attorney in fact, VS.
William s. Robbins which case has
been before the local land office since
December Z, was finished yesterday.
The case is interesting and involves
some peculiar facts in connection. On
June II, 1902, the township SO N, range
4 f. B. NJ, and township 81 N, range
5 E. b. NJ, were ready to be filed on
in the local office.
On the morning of June IA, 1902,
a number of people began to form In
line outside of the United States land
office here, the number increasing to
about forty by the time the office
opened for business on June II, 1902.
The most of the people who had
formed in the procession We're home
stead and timber and stone applicants.
John Pointing, attorney in fact, of
Hiram NJ. Hamilton, was in possession
of Forest Reserve scrip which he de-
sired to place on some of the land in
said township and he was also in line.
During the time of the line up in the
hall the parties who had formed in line
came to an agreement amongst them
selves to be numbered beginning with
number one at the door and giving each
one the consecutive number as they
were in line.
A short time after the opening of the
office a disturbance occurred in the hall
and it is claimed by Pointing that he
had been prevented by force from
keeping his place in the procession and
when he finally offered his filing it was
stead entry of William S. Robbins.
Pointing appealed from the rejection
of his application, alleging that con-
spiracy had been formed by n number
of persons to prevent those desiring to
make lieu land selections. from enter
ing the office and that he had been
forciblv prevented from entering the
office in his turn.
As the result OF said allegation the
above named hearing was ordered by
the department. s. l.. Mcfarland
was attorney for Pointing and l. N.
Smith attorney for Robbins.
4 contest was heard yesterday, the
ca Sc of Iohn C. Jensen VS.. Wellington
Murphy involving 100 acres of land
near Morrow. being triel. The charge
was non compliance with the home
stead law. Thos. Mullen was attorney
for Jensen.

FOUND A
BURIAL GROUND
Indian Skeletons Unearthed by
Men Working on the Normal
Hill Sewer

Workmen on the Normal Hill sewer
today thought they had broken into a
private burial ground and much excite
ment prevailed among the men for a
short time.
The work of excavation for the pipe
to be laid is now going on near the
Thatcher residence and up to three
o'clock today six graves had been un-
covered, which contained the skeletons
of Indians buried during the earlier
days.
Not alone were skeletons found but a
number of relics, such as arrow heads
and pipes and other novelties such as
were in use in those days, were un-
earthed. Now is the proper time for
all lovers of the historical to band
themselves together and endeavor to
secure and preserve relics, which
within a few years will be but written
history.

LEWISTON, Dec. 10. 1908.

A number of days ago | addressed a
communication to your paper stating
why l thought lands in Nez Perce
county would enhance greatly in value,
within the next four years. There was
one reason that / failed to state that is
the effect that the mining industry will
have upon this country. To anybody
conversant with the railroad situation
and who reads the daily papers, must
come to the conclusion that sooner or
later, and probably within the near
future, there will be opened up vast
mineral zone between here and Mis-
soula, and it is highly probable that
before many years go over our heads
lit may be five and it may be twenty
years-sometimes these things occur in
the railroad building line) a railroad
will be built directly east from here
connecting with Butte or some east
ern point, and in that case the greatest
unexplored mineral zone of the United
States will be opened up. Any person
will admit that one of the best trading
places in the country is thagt of mining
camps. AS / said before, the farmer

every ounce of food that is consumed

be raised will be called for by the

THEY TOUGH :
Barre, Vt. Socialists and An
archists Have Conflict.
One Man Dying, Another Shot, and
Another Under Arrest.
Anarchists Attempted to BresL Up
Meeting of Socialists.

Barre, VT, Oct. 4.-One man is dying
another has serious but not necessari-
ly fatal bullet wound, third is under
arrest, charged with firing the shot.
While a fourth is held as a witness, as
the result of the latest clash between
the Anarchists and Socialists of this
city. The feeling between the two par
ties has been intense for many months.
and conflicts of more or less serious
nature have been of almost daily occur
ence.
The climax, however, was DELAYED I'M
ill last night, when q number of Anarch-
lists attempted to break up meetin of
Socialists, precipitated the fight in
which Alexander Garetto fired three
shots from Z revolver, wounding Eli
Corti and Emilio Nachani. Corti will
die.
DIR. Giacinto Menotti Sereati, editor of
a Socialist newspaper. published in New
York, had been invited to address local
Socialists, some so of whom had congre-
gated III the Socialists hall, last even
ing.
While the audience was waiting the
arrival OF the speaker. IS Anarchists
headed by Corti, made their appearance
at the hall and declared that they
would not permit Sereati to address the
gathering. An angry discussion fol-
lowed, during which the Anarchists an
nounced their determination to clean
out The hAll, and Immediately precipi-
tatcd 1 small sized riot During the
melee. the shooting took place. Corti
received a bullet in the stomach. A
second Shot went wild and IL third
struck Nochini in the arm.
When the Anarchists saw their leader
taI, they sprang upon Garetto, who still
Acld the smoking revolver int his hand,
and hurled him down stairs to the
street. Then the fight was resumed
with Increased iierceness and ended
only when large detail of police, sum-
moncd by Garetto, had reached the hall.
torti was removed to the hospital and
Sar2ttO was arrested. He was arraign-
ed, today, and held without bail to
await the outcome of corti's injuries.
The only other arrest thus far made
Ill connection with the trouble, is that
of DR.. Sereati. who is held on a charge
of breach of the peace and as Il witness

att probably viii be released, tomorrow.
