BRIDGEPORT. Conn, May 6,-County
Sheriff Sidney E. Hawley and a posse of
deputies clashed with crowd Of about 100
of the Consolidated Railroads striking
trackmen at Stratford, five miles west
of this city, at noon to-day, and routed them.
The strikers were armed with revolvers
and clubs and had threatened the lives
Of the trackmen at work there unless they.
too, went on strike.
Armed with policemen clubs, the Sheriff
and his deputies advanced on the riotous
gathering and dispersed them. Protection
was offered to the trackmen, but they were
afraid to return to work. and asked their
foreman, John Nealon, to let them on for
the remainder of the day. As the work
which they were doing when interrupted was
not imperative. their request was granted
and it Is believed that they will resume
work tomorrow morning
This morning the same lot Of strikers
who made trouble in Stratford descended
upon about dozen trackmen in Southport,
eight miles west of here. and inundated the
men from whom they had obtained prom
Uses to join the union. Fearing to trust
the Southport trackmen, the strikers made
them prisoners and forced them to come
through this city to Stratford and assist
In compelling the trackmen at work there
to quit.
When the Sherif7's posse routed the
strikers in Stratford the Southport gang
withdrew. and after explaining their con-
dition to the posse were sent back to South
port to work under the protection Of Deputy
Sheriff Wallace Buckley, who has sworn in
a lot Of special deputies to assist him in the

RUSSIA ALTERS POLICY.
Important Changes to Take Place in
the War Office.

Paris Sept 29.-Oficial advices from
ST Petersburg indicate that General
Sakharoff. the chief of state, will soon
succeed General Kuropatkin as min
lister for war The latter shared with
NJ. Witte, the president of the council
of ministers and former minister Of
finance, the disfavor growing out of the
Manchurian comDlica lions. The change
is considered significant of a modifica-
ton of the Russian military policy in
the far east and along the Russian
frontier in Europe, being contempora-
neous with a reduction of the military
department at Keiff. commanding the
Austrian frontier
1t was announced from st. Peters
burg last night that it was rumored in
high military circles there that Cen
eral Kuropatkin would be appointed
governor of the Caucasus. and that he
was replaced as war minister by Cen
eral Bobrikoff, the governor of Fin
land, Prince Obolenski succeeding to
the latter post.

HE MUST CARRY MIAMI.
Why Treasurer Kelly Got scalps of
Veale and Mooney.

Colonel George w. Veale, state house
custodian, and A. l.. Mooney. state
house engineer, are getting ready to
turn their respective offices over to
their successors, elected by the execu-
tive council last week Captain 7. c.
Collins of Miami county, will succeed
Colonel Veale, and A. p Maitbv of
Reno county will succeed Mooney.
According to Colonel Veale his re-
moval was caused by State Treasurer
Kelly's anxiety to carry Miami county
for himself for denomination as state
treasurer, and for the denomination of
Congressman Bowersock against Henry
Allen.
Mr.. Kelly was very frank with me.
said Colonel Veale today. He came TO
me and said that while his man might
not Know anything about the work on
the start. he can learn the same as 1
did. YOU know Kelly ran away behind
his ticket in his home county last year
and undess he can - better than that
next year his own county will not sup
port him in theistate' convention for re-
nomination. He told me frankly that
he had nothing against me, but that he
had got to-fix 1t so that he could carry
Miami county, and he needed my place
for a Miami county man so as to
strengthen him there.
He. wanted me to resign and told
him 1 would when he could show me
that he had four votes against me. but
he coulpn't do it then. Maltby wanted
to be state house engineer, and so
strong Ptessure was brought to bear on
DayhQff from Hutchinson to make him
find 1place for Maltby. OF course
Dayhofft has to look out for his in
terests in Reno county. so when Kelly
proposed the deal to him. that he would
support. Maltby if Dayhoff would vote
to remove me and elect Keily's man, the
deal was made
It will be admitted by every one that
Mooney has been an excellent man for
the state His mechanical knowledge
was put to good use.

APPEAL TO KENT.
Grand Master of I, o. o. F. Goes &c
See Him.

Grand Master A. M. johnson Of the
Odd Fellows will make a trip to Hutch
inson from his home in Garnett within
the next week to confer with Past Grand
Secretary D. w Kent upon some of the
affairs of the Office in which he COM
mitted defalcation nearly two years
ago. Kent has been living quietly at
Hutchinson for nearly year, having
returned from Costa Rica after receiv-
ing the assurance of the grand lodge or
the Odd Fellows that he would not be
prosecuted. The order is still out about
81 1000 which it will probably never re-
cover When Kent left the Office he was
found to be short in his accounts to the
amount of over $4,000. The costs to the
grand lodge of checking over his books
and trying to trace him amounted to
several hundred dollars more. In her
efforts to settle Mrs. Kent gave the
grand lodge the string of racing horses,
which had led to her husbands down
fall. From the sale of these about 81, 900
was realized. Later Mrs. Kent made
over an S0-acre fruit farm when She
had inherited from her family. This is
valued at about $4,000 Nothing was
recovered by the Odd Fellows grand
lodge from the security company which
furnished Kent's bond because the
grand lodge had not checked up Kents
accounts each year. Had this been done
the defalcation would have been discov-
cred much sooner. The Kents retain
some property in Hutchinson where
sent money to her husband while he was
in Central America and that he invest
ed it in a cargo of rubber which was
ship wrecked. the venture being total

necessarily in bad shape when Kent left

called in to untangle some of the diff

the top with the bunch which he sold
Monday. ~
Unlike many cattle feeders. Mr. For
sha does not blame the packing COM
bine with the low price of fat cattle
at present. Many feeders believe that
the packing house combine has decreas-
ed the price of cattle in order to in
crease its profits, but Mr.. Forsha be-
lieves that the law of supply and de-
mand is still regulating the cattle mar
ket He says the great number of cat
tie that are being rushed to market and
the prospects that this condition will
continue is responsible for the fact that
cattle are now about two dollars
hundred lower than they were a year
ago. and he looks for them to go still
lower next year, though he doesn't ex-
plain. why the price of slaughtered beef
is so high.
There are tremendous lot of cattle
in the country" said Mr.. Forsha. Near
ly every farmer. even the small ones,
have something in the way of stock to
sell and there are few buyers. Those
who want to sell feeders are holding
them at a good price, and with the in
dications that cattle will go still lower
most cattle men are afraid to go in very
deep. They can see little money in it
at present prices. 1 believe fat cattle
will be rs cents lower next year than
they are now
mo, 1 don't think the packing house
combine has anything to do with low
prices. The cause of it all is the great
number of cattle that are being rushed
to market and the large supply in the
country"
