TO DRIVE OUT UNIONS.
Denver Citizen,' Alliance Proposes TO
Take DRASTIC Measures.


Take Drastic Measures.
Denver business men are following the
example set by Idaho City in taking dras-
tic steps to get rid of labor agitators, So
called. who, it is asserted, have made
themselves obnoxious to the community
The Citizens Alliance called a mass
meeting to take action on a proposition
to run out of town all who sympathize
with the methods of labor organizers.
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Coats is one Of the men
supposed to be referred to, as he is an
organizer of the Socialist party and vice
president of the American Labor Union,
an outgrowth of the Western Federation
of Miners. Coats is a printer~and dur
ing the recent strike which tied up every
industry in Denver he was beaten by his
own trade In the negotiation which effect
ed the settlement.
The printers took the initiative In
meeting the moves of the business men
and notified them by resolution they
would not stand their high-handed meth
DDS.
1t is commonly underltood that every
trade in the State will follow the lead
of the printers and that war may be pro-
voked with the unions relying upon the
authority of the courts to maintain their
claims and put the merchants on line
with white cappers.
The resolutions of the printers state
the attitude of the alliance is fraught
with peril to the liberty Of the people
and is an incentive to lawlessness. The
typographical union condemns such steps
as outrageous and anarchistic in the ex
IRENE.
The first effect of n declaration of war
by the alliance will be renewed HOSTILE
ties by the unions, and the employers re.
alize what this means, for it was at their
request that the printers interviewed three
months ago, when it seemed as if the
business of the city would be completely
tied up. At the time there were over
5000 men on strike and three fourths of
the restaurants were closed, intiicting
great hardship on the general public.
The strikers said there would be no
compromise, as they feared it was a fight
to the DEATH as owing to the formation
of the alliance at that stage it was de-
clared that the watchword of the mem
bers was death to unionism. Then the
printers settled the trouble in favor of
the employers.
Now they say they made a grievous
mistake by allying themselves with the
bosses, who assured them that they were
not opposed to unionism, and during the
week steps will be taken to cancel all
contracts with the members of the ALI
ance and defy them to do their worst.

OUR IMMENSE APPLE CROP.
Few Persons Have Any Conception of
It's Size and Value.

Few Persons Have ANY conception OF
It's Size and Value.
Few people have any conception. Of the
enormous volume and value of the apple
crop of the United States The exports
Of appNs last year from the United
States were 2,543, 759 barrels. All of
them went to Great Britain except 49,
GAL barrels to Germany and 1852 to
other countries.
The census of 1900 showed a total OF
210,00O,O00 trees in what are known as
commercial rchards-that is, orchards
maintained to sell fruit to the regular
trade. This does not include the millions
of trees in the back yards of the towns
and villages throughout the country. The
increase during the last ten years, since
the census of 1890, was 100000 trees
more than 40 per cent-and the yield
of 1900 from the commercial orchards
alone was more than 175 100000 bushels.
By districts the north Atlantic States
have 2O,500,O00 trees, the south Allan
tic e, 100000, the northern central States
100000, the southern central States
31,O0O,000, and the rest of the country
100000. Out of the total number of
trees in the United States, the north and
south central districts have 123, POS, 900,
or nearly three ffths of the whole, These
are divided among the principal apple
bearing States as follows:

The Evansville Tragedy.

If we could eliminate the innocent
bystanders'' from the ranks of rioters
we should not only avoid casualties
among them, but greatly reduce the num-
Der of riots. 1t is the bystanders who
make so many riots possible.-Louisville
Courier-Journal
1t is to be hoped that the militia at
Evansville has taught the mob every
where a lesson. 1t has been a most Sc
we're lesson, but we can contemplate the
stern manner of its teaching with far
more approval than we can look upon a
continuation of scenes which have dis
graced us of late in the eyes of the
whole civilized world.-Chcago Post.
AS for the men in the mob who were
killed or wounded, they took their lives
in their hands when they refused to dis
perse and continued to press upon the
militia The latter were patient and for
bearing. If they had not fired when they
did they would have been trampled un-
der foot, and most of them would have
lost their lives.-Chicago Tribune.
The mistake of the authorities was in
not suppressing at once every sign of
lawlessneas. Practically unchecked and
resorting to shooting and beating ne
groes, the craze of the mob has grown
by what it has fed on. If the first gath
ering of lawless persons had been stern
Iy suppressed, even at some cost of life,
the death list would have been shorter
than it now is.-Detroit Journal.
There are some more sinister features
in the Evansville outbreak than in any
thus far reported to bring discredit to
orr national honor-arming of the blacks
as well as whites, the Kidding with bull
let's of negro homes, and the sharp lining
up of one race against another What
is to come of it, if some authority can
not soon be found to vindicate the law. to
punish mobs and to make clear the terri
bit guilt of every participant in the
shame of such outrages in whatever town
or State?-New York Evening Post.

FORTY MILLIONS LOST.
Careful Estimate of Recent Flood
Damage In the West.

In seven fearful days the waters of
prairie slope racing into the lower Mis-
souri, river have brought to the middle
West the greatest loss in life and prop
erty of all it's history. Hundreds of lives
and perhaps $40,OO0O00 of property have
been sacrificed. Farmers, manufactur
ers, towns, cities, railroads, have all
shared in the tremendous damage-and
because fire was seldom present there is
no recompensing insurance to make the
blow lighter, writes Charles Moreau Har-
ger in Leslie's Weekly. The Kaw val
ley of Kansas is like an outstretched
hand. The finger tips are 200 miles from
the end of the wrist where is situated
Kansas City, Mo. They are, too, 500
feet higher than the city, and, down their
converging lengths flow the prairie
streams. AS the river joins the Missouri
it makes a turn TO the south, and in the
bend is Kansas City, Kan, the big sister
of the Missoupri town. The latter has
$4,000 people; the former 10000. In
the former are the stockyards, the pack
Ing houses, among the largest in the
world; carshops, manufactures and
wholesale warehouses and grain eleva-
tors. Sixty miles westward, at the join
ing of palm and wrist, is Topeka, the
capital of Kansas. Of it's $4,000 people
nearly one-third live on the level ground
north and south of the river rather than
on the high slopes where is the state
house and where are the beautiful homes
of leading citizens.
Over stretch of the richest country
in the West, where wheat stood waist
high and corn was peeping through the
ground, where alfalfa fields were in
bloom and oats was beginning to wave,
200 miles long and three to five miles
wide, the valley is swept clear. Not less
than S10OO0,OOO will be the farmers
loss The towns will lose another ST.
10000: Topeka. $3,OOO,OOO; the rail-
roads, 100000. And all because it
rained up among the fingers Of the prairie
water basin.
The towns will suffer most from the
food. The farms will recover quickly.
On many of the submerged acres a crop
of corn will yet be planted and harvested.
The wheat is not all gone. Not more
than one-twentieth of the Kansas crop
is directly affected-probably not that.
There has been much stock drowned,
many farms made desolate; the blow
Is a fearful one. Only the food of 1874
compares with it. But the West is stout
hearted, buoyant; it will heal the scars
and recover.

CHAPTER V.

The name inscribed upon the card,
which Sylphide tore into little bits and
east into the open CRATE the moment she
aad escaped the curious eyes of Diana,
was the name of Oscar Couramont. Had
she been alone she might have quailed.
But she had q secret to conceal even
from the mulatto, faithful as she was.
Therefore, when Diana called to her to
know what had happened Sylphide an
swered with enforced calmness:
Only a messenger from my husband. l
am going to him in a moment
Meanwhile she was touching her pal
lid, haggard cheeks with rouge. Thanks

slowly down the grand staircase, crossed
she spacious hall and entered the SPLEEN

silken drapery that hung in the archway
Before which Sylphide stood, and like a
dash her antagonist stood before her.
At sight of him she recoiled, and ut
esred a stitled cry. Was this revolving
wretch before her her cousin, the hand
some Oscar Couramont? Was it posi-
Dle that four years could have worked
such an appalling change in any human
0eing?
1t was a wonder that the attendants
Selow stairs had permitted such a dis
equitable object to mount the stairs and
sun the risk of terrifying the ladies he
might chance to meet.
Sylphide, in all her pride and beauty,
was horror stricken. and stood speeches..
gouramont was the first to speak. With
q hooking obeisance and a remnant of
she old, sarcastic smile, he said
Il see you recognize me in spite of the
change in me. Since it is your work,
low do you like it? You have brought
me to the verge of poverty and starva-

''Yes. you! Had you remained abroad

Apple trees are peculiar and require
a certain kind of soil and climate to -four
ish, hence there is great irregularity in
localities of production and enormous
yields in spots. Thirty-fve counties in
the United States have more than 400,
900 each. Illinois has three of those
counties. The most productive counties
are "a follows:

No. Of trees,

1t will be noticed from the above ia
bles that there is a great difference in
the bearing capacity of the apple trees of
the country. Missouri has nearly twice
as many trees as Michigan, and yet
Michigan raises nearly so per cent more
apples than Missouri. This is explained,
like many other things, by the charac-
ter of the trees and the amount of culti-
walton given them. New York ,ndoubt-
eddy has the best apple trees in the
country, and the returns of her apple
harvest show it.-William e. Curtis in

Reply from Brewer.

A short time ago there appeared in the
Topeka State Journal an article on cut
ting by the doctors signed by D L
Brewer On the following Monday there
was printed reply by DR.. Roby. In
the doctors article he says / was mis-
taken in reference TO the laws Of 1901
and 1903. and quotes a section of 1891
saying he has read the law 1000 times
or more. Now, il appears that after
reading II 600 times he had to have this
same section interpreted by a lawyer in
an action before court before he could
understand it. Now I admit If there IS
no defect in mis- mental poses he Is
capable OF educating one on this law and
l admit this law as amended is a fair
law but as il was introduced by the
doctors was all I claimed il was and
was intended to prevent everything but
eclectic. allopaths and homeopathic reg
ular from prescribing treatment The

experiments. Now I am not partial to
experiments that involve a human life.
My father was killed by q doctor in
1876, who was sure he was right as
the doctors who cut out the appendix

alton on the woman in the hospital in
this city not many weeks ago. If the
