MR.. SCALLON'S AGREEMENT.
Work Will Be Resumed by Anal.
gamated Company II Certain
Legislation Is Passed.

Butte, Nov. 4.-At the meeting Of
the Butte Miners union last evening
the committee which had been ap-
pointed to endeavor to settle the pres
ent shutdown troubles reported the
following letter received from William
Scallon, president of the Anaconda
company:
'To the Butte Miners Union: Gen
tlemen-In pur suance OF your request,
have the honor to put in writing the
substance of the statements made to
your committee on behalf of the COM
panies by their respective managers
and myself at our recent conference.
Our statement to you, and our under
standing with you, was, that if an ex-
ira session of the legislature were
called and proper legislation were
passed, securing fair trials, to-wlt-
impartial judges to try cases in the
district court, and the review of the
facts in equity cases in the supreme
court, we would thererpon resume op-
erations. You will remember it was
stated and explained that that was
not complete solution, but, i'll view
of the hardships that prolonged sus-
pension would entail, the companies
would resume on the enactment of
such legislation. On behalf of the
other managers and myself, l now
con firm these statements TO you. Re
spectfully yours,

ed.
"A resolution was presented author
izing the town marshal under super
vision of the street and alley commit
tee to plant trees next spring and
mairtain bitches along both sides of
every street in town. A lively debate
ensued. Alderman Taylor argued
that It would be an expensive under
taking and found fault with the pro-
cedure, his theory being that the mat
ter should have been covered by an
ordinance instead of a resolution. He
thought it best to delay the matter.
Mayor Romney urged that the council
go on record now. He said that spring
would soon roll around, when the trees
must be planted, and that as the ar
rangements that must be made and
the red tape that must be unwound,
would involve enough delay, it would
be better to make beginning now so
that trees would be surely set out next
spring. Otherwise it might happen
that another ten years may roll along
and no action would be taken along
this line. Finally, after wrangling
about an hour, on motion of Alderman
Howley, with whom tree-planting has
always been a hobby, the council pass
ed the resolution by unanimous vote.

SWITCHMENN ARR0WLY
ESCAPE AWFUL DEATH
John Henderson and Arthur {.
Jackson Are Caught
BETWEEN CAR C0UPLERS
Serious Accident Happens in
Frisco Yards.
BETWEEN CAR COUPLERS

For thirty seconds John Henderson and
had been caught between the bumpers
of a locomotive and a refrigerator car
yesterday afternoon about 100 o'clock,
were held unable to make an outcry to
warn their fellow wOrkmen that there
were being slowly squeezed to death.
When discovered the engineer quickly
started the engine forward and the forms
OF the two men fell to the ground.
Hendersons left arm was crushed to
the elbow and Jackson's right hip re-
ceived the full pressure when the two
men were caught. Unless no internal
injuries develop Jackson will recover, al
though it will be some time before he
can return to work again. Henderson
fortunately escaped serious injury to his
body, but it is feared that his arm may
have to be amputated. An examination
of the mangled arm showed no bones
to be broken. On this account there Is
one chance against good many odds,
that Henderson may escape with the
arm intact. 1t viii be crippled so, how
ever. that it is doubtful If he will ever
be able to make much use of it.
The accident happened when the switch
ing crew attempted to make coupling
In the yards Immediately opposite the
freight depot and but short distance
south of the passenger station. At the
first trial the coupling on the locomotive
did not fasten properly with that of
refrigerator car. The locomotive was
eignalIed to go ahead while Henderson
ana Jackson stepped between the locomo-
tive and the car to see what was the
matter.
There was some misunderstanding Of
signals between the switchmen and the
engineer and the locomotive was backed
70 make another attempt at coupling
Henderson and Jackson didn't know what
was happening until they were caught
between-the couplers and each felt that
he was being crushed TO death
When the engineer looked out of the
cab window and could see neither of the
switchmen he scented an accident and i'm
mediately reversed the locomotive and
went ahead Others Of the switching
crew ran to see what was the matter anG
found the two men.
DR.. Purdue was called and latter car
riages Henderson was taken to the st
Francis hospital and Jackson was con-
weyed to his home, 1897 South Emporia
avenue.
Yesterday was the first time that an
accident of any serious consequence has
happened here since the Frisco took pos
session of its new terminals.

PACKAGES MAILED
Post Office Did a Rushing
Business Yesterday.
ALL RECORDS ARE BROKEN
Mccoy Contributes Cause to
Rural Routes Opened

The record was broken yesterday when
over 1.500 packages were mailed by the
people of Wichita at the postoffice. An
extra supply of clerks have been put in
the service and still they are crowded
and rushed to the limit.
1t was a peculiar scene to see the peo-

The packages were of every description
and size, books, toys and other things
weighing from an ounce to the limit.
The assistant postmaster thinks that
the large increase over last year is caused
by the opening of the rural routes over

WATER FOR DYSPEPSIA.
Distilled Water Said to be Valuable in
Its Treatment,

Professor Henry Broadhurst in his
work on pure water in its relation to
health, points out the great value of dis
titled water in the treatment of stomach
affections. For cleansing a foul stom-
ach, says the professor, which is the
cause of more than half the cases of dys-
pepsia people suffer from, there is nothing
better than distilled wafer slipped slowly
while quite hot. In addition to its cleans
ing power, the heat will increase the flow
of the digestive juices. The water should
be taken about an hour before eating, at
rising. and just before retiring. We have
known many very stubborn cases to give
way completely before this treatment
