Colon, Colombia. Nov. 4.-There is a
persistent rumor here that during the
last few days a movement has been on
foot looking TO the independence of the
isthmus. Noon of Monday was the
time mentioned for its active Inaugural
ton, but no event publicly antagonist

place. The rumor was prevalent yes

ed last night. The government, how

steps were taken to quell any an

ObaIdia Issue a Manifesto.
This seeming inactivity on the part
Of the government is looked upon as
showing confidence in the reports made
by General Abaldia, the governor of
the department of Panama, who has
issued a manifesto thanking all politi-
cal parties for the adhesion promised
to the government when it was report
ed that a revolutionary force was
marching in the vicinity of Penomeme.
Hints That the Government Is Ready.
In this manifesto the governor also
thanked the inhabitants of the depart
ment of Panama for the sincere proofs
of their patriotism, and expressed the
hope that they will maintain the same
line of conduct and thus save the gov
ernment the painful duty of adopting
stringent measures.

The streets of Colon present some
what the same appearance as during
the days of the late revolution. Sever
al hundred troops who arrived from
Savanilla on the Colombian gunboat
Cartagena with their wives, are squat
ted on the street corners. The battalion
consists of 450 soldiers well supplied
with ammunition, under the command
of General Tovar. General Tovar has
left for Panama, but the troops still
remain here.

FREE FROM PAIN. AND CARE.
Remains of Mrs. C. w. NIorehouse Laid Il
No. ~ ReSt-in Oak Knoll

" W. 1AO1cuOuS0 AdlO TO
Rest In Oak Knoll
The funeral Of Mrs. G. w. Morehouse
who died March 18th, was held at the
M. p. church last Saturday afternoon
at 2:3O o'clock, Rev. Gratz officiating.
Mr.. Morehouse who was at work in the
woods thirty miles from Deer River
was unable to.reach home until Satur-.
day morning. He arrived at Duluth
Friday morning too late to catch the
train for Princeton.
The Ladies of the Maccabees, of
which order Mrs. Morehouse was a
member, conducted short funeral SER
vice at the house just before the funeral
service at the church. The church
was filled with relatives and friends
and there was a wealth of floral offer
lngs and tributes from the Maccabee
ladies, the pupils of the high school, and
friends and relatives. Music at the
funeral service at the church was
rendered by r. A. Ross, Mr.. and Mrs.
B. P. Taylor and Miss Sophia PETER
son. The interment was at Oak Knoll.
and the Ladies of the Maccabees had
charge of the services at the grave.
The death of Mrs. Morehouse was
the result of an injury to her spine
which she received in 1895 and which
resulted in sclerosis which deprived her
OF the use of the lower part of her body.
Toward the end of her sad trial and af-
Fiction she suffered much pain, and
while she cherished life and the COM
pany of her family and dear friends of
childhood and womenhood, yet she be-
came reconciled to her hopeless and
unfortunate lot and awaited the sum-
mons of the Silent Messenger who was
to her a, welcome guest. During all
her long affection she bore her suffer-
ing bravely and with fortitude. All
that a husband and children could do
for her to help tighten her burden was
done for her and she was made as CON-
Portable as possible in her affection.

CONTRACT LABOR LAW TEST
Numerous Suits Arc Brought Against
n Prominent Firm in
Honolulu.


HONOLULU, May 2s.-CVia San Franci-
SEQ, June 6.)-Threatened suits against
Brewer & Co.. for $1,000 each in over
100 sases of alleged contract labor
law violations LAY been brought.
Fred Berger has filed 113 suits, each one
alleging the importation Of a Korean in
violation OF the statutes and demanding
penalty Of $1,000 provided by statute in such
cases. The law allows any private citizen 10
bring a suit and recover the penalty.
The suits are against e. F. Bishop,
secretary Of Brewer q Co.. who made a
trip to Korea and made the arrangements
by which the laborers came here. Bishop
carried with him written Instructions from
the United States treasury department and
acted in accordance with such instructions,
he claims.
The 11S Koreans arrived here. however
after the law had been changed by con-
gress and the instructions cancelled.
The matter was investigated when United
States immigration COMMISSIONS Sargent
was sent here and it was decided that Bis
hop and Brewer had acted in good faith
and the United States district attorney
would. therefore, not prosecute, but this
does not prevent private parties from
recovering.

GRAIN FIRM GOES TO WALL
san francisco eaIer Owe s~1,25O,OOO
and Have but 100000 to
Pay out.

SAN FRANCISCO, June ~6.-Eppinger q
Co.. one of the largest grain dealing frms
in the United states, went to the wall
today.
The crash came suddenly and for a time
threatened completely to upset the local
grain market. As 1t was, the announce
ment Of the failure caused a big bobbing
Of prices on change and wrought up suoh
excitement as has not been witnessed on
the floor for years. It is thought
that the liabilities will run up into the
millions, while the London, Paris and
American bank. the money house with
which 1T deals, will also, it is said, suffer
heavily.
Henry Aeh, attorney for Eppinger & Co..
said this afternoons:
At a meeting of creditors held in my
ofice It was shown by the books of the
firm that the liabilities were In the neigh
borhood of 81, 25O, 1000. The assets, consisting
principally of lands, wheat and general aud
personal property, are placed at 100000.
Nearly all the creditors are partially or
wholly secured.
The failure Of the Eppinger concern is
the greatest and most far-reaching crash
in the California grain trade since William
Dresbach was forced to the wall seven or
eight years ago. Although there had been
a whisper of uncertainty in inner circles
for several days, none of the brokers we're
at all prepared for the startling announce
ment. 1t was known that the company
was short on a large amount Of December
wheat and the failure at once brought
about the most marked activity. Creditors
of Eppinger & Co. began buying again
the amount Of the short account of the
suspended firm, with the result that De-
cember wheat quickly rose from N.S2 per
GENITAL to $1.S4A. After the bulk Of the
pressing contracts had been filled the mar
ket weakened somewhat and the price de-
clined TO N,S2%.
The connections of E%ppinger & Co. are
numerous, both on the Pacific coast ant
in the grain markets OF Europe.

JACKSON, KY, June 6.-The last day Of
the second week that Jackson has been
under practical martial law was without
incident Of q disturbing nature. The
troops continue to maintain a rigid guard
at III, Jail in which Curtis Jett and Tom
White are onhned The special venir will
arrive from Magofin county tomorrow and
the jury to try the alleged murderers Of
]. b. Marcum will be selected from the
sixty men.
While a murder case came to light today
It has not diverted interest from the APP
preaching trials of Jett and White. The
latest murder is that of James Gay, an
aged farmer, who wal shot to death in a
blind tiger in Perry county Saturday.
Since inquests nave not been held in
Breathitt county for over a year the ex-
element was Intense when Clinton Combes,
Lee Combes, John Sendlin and Barry Size
more were arrested on the charge of muir
der. The coroner OF Perry county held an
inquest and on the evidence declared that
the deceased came to his death from natural
causes. The fact that he was shot became
known to Judge Redwine who ordered an
autopsy. The men accused deny the charge,
1t is said that Gay was lying under a tree
and may have been struck by a stray bull
let. as there was promiscuous shooting
near the blind tiger.
Until the trial of Jett and white, which
will be commenced Monday, the men will
occupy separate cells. They had been in
the same cell since the first night after
their incarceration here. On request d. d.
Hurst, Mrs. Marcum's father, Attorney
General Bard applied to Judge Redwine for
the order. which was granted.
After the lapse of many months Jackson
is to have a coroner, Berry May having
been appointed today. No inquests ave
been held here in over a year. magistrates
not caring to oficiate. Berry May is the
man who has enough courage to undertake
the duties of coroner.
