BOYS ON A STRIKE.
Western Union Messengers Want
More Money.

The eleven boys who are employed as
messengers by the Western Union Tele-
graph company here went on a strike
Monday evening. After a conference
with Manager w. c. Carswell the boys
agreed to postpone their walkout until
Thursday. October 1. by which time
an adjustment Of wages will probably
be effected. The messengers asked for
an increase from $40 to SIS pay Per
month.
The suspension of messenger service
lasted for only half hour or so Mon
day evening. Manager Carswen met
the announcement of the strike with
the protest that the strikers ought to
give the company a few days notice
before they quit work He tola them
they ought to give the company time to
cor sider their request for more pay be-
fore the wallSout was declared. As a
result the messengers took their time

time of service is likely to be submit

be agreed upon. 1t is unlikely that the
strike leaders will be punished for their

messengers as reasonable and to deal
reasonably with them. There is not
any likelihood that girls will be sub

TROUBLES MULTIPLY.
Canadian 500 Situation Con-
tinues to Grow Worse.

Sault Ste. Marie. Mich. Sept. 20
There was no further disturbances late
last night nor early today in the Cana
dian Soc, but the situation has some
elements which do not promise long
continuance of the present peaceful con-
dltlon. In the first place every saloon
in the town is wide open and most of
them practically in the laboring mems
districts are being patronized heavily by
the men who composed yesterdays mob.
In the second place 1900 instead of 400
men as reported last night, are at Wiers,
a numbering camp of the company, l.
miles up the Algoma Central road and
it is this body of men the railroad has
refused to transport to the 500 under
present troubled conditions. OF this
number rs walked in yesterday, reach
ing the 500 about midnight last night
and the rest of them are walking down
today. This big accession TO the ranks
of the unemployed is looked upon as
sure to cause trouble, unless the authori-
ties show more vigor in dealing with
the situation than they did yesterday.
The third Troublesome feature is the de-
lay in getting additional troops here.
Just eight soldiers got in last night and
the grenadiers did not leave Toronto I'M
til this morning which means that
they can not be here before late this
afternoon or tonight. The policy of tn 2
local authorities in permitting the sa-
looms in the west end of the town es-
pecially to open this morning is pro-
VOking much criticism

Extraordinary efforts were made TO
apprehend Chatfield because. it is said,

MARRIAGE is VOID.
Defense Set Up in Spreckles Family
Lawsuit.

Honolulu. Sept. 29.-The attorneys for
Claus Spreckles assert that the mar
riage Of Mrs. Thomas Watson (daugh-
ter of Mr.. Sprecl1les) to Mr.. Watson is
void Mrs. Watson, now of England,
is suing her father for the recovery of
a block of Honolulu property valued at
$500, 900. which she conveyed to him
soon after her marriasSe in 1894. The
marriage led to an estrangement be-
tween daughter and parents. and Mrs.
Watson returned the property which
had previously been presented to her
by her father. The present suit is
based on the fact that Mrs. "atson's
deed of CONVEYANCE did not bear her
husbands signature. Mr. Spreckles' at
torneys allege that Mr.. Watson had
beer previously married in 1869, and
that the divorce which he secured in
Utah in 1876 was illegal and that con-
sequently his second marriage is void.

LANE COUNTY WHEAT.
Judge C. E. Lobdoll Tells Something
About It

Judge Charles Lobden. of the short

his home is now at Larned. but his

We can scarcely expect people who

truth about the wheat out there this

Lane county who raised wheat which
went so bushels to the acre The county
has something over 10000 acres, but its
yield will be q least million and a
quarter bushels. The average yield Will
be above 80 bushels to the acre. There
is more wheat which yielded above that
figure than below it. and when a man
gets down to 20 bushels to the acre he
