its patrons. In clubs they are banding
together so as to make the longer hauls
to other places less arduous individually.

We remark a certain satisfaction in
the air of the farmers we chance to talk
with concerning crop prospects. There is
slight fear that the wet weather
will make the small grain SO heavy that
it will lodge, and that some hay will
have to be cut with scythes; but the gen.
eral sentiment is that good yield of
everything is betokened by prevailing
conditions.

WILL REBUILD CREAMERY.
st. Clair Association Decides to Go
Ahead With New Plant.

At an enthusiastic meeting Saturday
afternoon presided over by John Best
man, the st. Clair Cooperative Cream
cry association decided to rebuild on the
spot where the recently destroyed struc-
ture stood. There was considerable de-
bate as to what material would make
the most satisfactory building. Though
it is admitted that solid brick would be
the most permanent and fire-proof, the
cost and time of hauling and the in
creased total cost seemed too much to
attract the majority to this scheme.
So it was determined to put up frame
creamery 36x36, sheeted exteriorly with
galvanized iron. AS a committee to
oversee the rebuilding, Frank Amberg,
Henry Schallow and Henry Thielman
were appointed. AS soon as the insur-
ance is adjusted and the amount (about
$4,000 available, under their direction
work will be rapidly pushed, and by
August LIST the plant will be ready for
operation!

Both Sides Determined
Conference Fruitless

Chicago, Aug. 13.-1'he stockyards
Strike seems no nearer settlement
than it did the day the struggle began.
Efforts of committee composed of re-
tail butchers and grocers to bring
about conference between the
packers and the strike leaders was of
no avail. The retailers committee
was in conference with Edwin Tilden,
John E. Maurer, Thomas Wilson and
Thomas j. Connors, and at the end of
the meeting the following statement
was given out by the committee of
business men:
1--WE were courteously received by
a committee representing the packers
and were informed that considering
all that had passed and present con-
ditions no good reason existed for any
further conference with the strikers"
No statement was issued by the

at First street, Pueblo, more than
eight miles from where the disaster
occurred, and it is probable that some
may be recovered even further down
stream. None of the bodies is badly
mutilated and all are in such condi-
ton as to be recognizable.
So quietly had the catastrophe been
enacted that the occupants of the
three cars remaining on the track
did not realize that an accident had
occurred until they alighted from
the train, and they were utterly pow
erless to render any assistance to the
victims who disappeared in the rush
ing waters.
On the lookout for danger, warned
by the squally clouds and heavy rains

man was running cautiously, about

ing PIants-Pcace in Sight.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Determined eff
forts are now being made to settle
the stock yards strike by mediation.
| Negotiations began between the retail
| butchers and grocers association and
representatives of several labor I'M
| ions which would undoubtedly be in
| volved in the strike should it be pro-
longed much longer, resulted in the
| appointment of cor mittee composed
OF those who attended the meeting
to negotiate with the packers in an
attempt to bring about joint meeting
between the employers and the strik-
ing unions. 1t was the sentiment of
all who attended the conference that
should the meeting be arranged be-
tween the two opposing elements the
hopes of both side could be realized
Meanwhile Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor has been summoned from New
York to see if he cannot accomplish
something through mediation.
The packers declined to make any
comment on what, if any success,
might be expected from the meeting.
1--WE cannot very well discuss this
matter now" said one of the packers
representatives. I'VE now have our
affairs in better condition than at
any time since the strike was de-
clared and for myself, | am unable
to see on what grounds we could meet
the strikers"
Under direction of Mayor Harrison,
who was urged to take the step by
committee composed of labor lead
ers and several aldermen, an investi-
cation into the sanitary conditions of
the various packing plants where
strike breakers are being housed was
begun. Several of the plants were
visited but no fragrant violations of
the law were found. The investiga-
ton will be continued.
The packers sent a communication
to Mayor Harrison denying that they
are keeping lodging houses not in
compliance with the ordinances.
There was a revival of talk con-
corning the formation of a new stock
yards corporation to build a general
stock yards on the Stickney Chicago
Drainage canal. This project is cred
tied to the Hately brothers, former
packers now engaged in the board of
trade operations. They are said to
have secured extensive interests in
the properties that were once in the
possession of President Stickney of
the Great Western railroad.

again falling over wide area in Man
churia, with the prospect of impeding
operations, but even more important
is the information from an exception,
al source that the Japanese have once
more delayed too long.
General Kuropatkin has now with.
drawn the bulk of his army safely
north of the Lilac Yang, leaving only
strong rear line to contest the adj
vance when 1t does come.
According to the information, the
Japanese have about 100000 men in
the armies operating aginst Kuropat-
kin, rendering it hazardous for him to
risk a general engagement.
The general staff has no informa-
ton bearing on the reported presence
of a large force of Japanese at Pait-
huhi, a place that cannot be located
on available maps. The report agrees,
however, with the general tenor of
the information received that General
Kuropatkin is alredy retreating north
of Lao Yang.

and they all refused to discuss the
matter further than to confirm the
statement given out by the informed,
late committee. When the strike
leaders were informed of the determ-
nation of the packers to refuse to
enter into further conferences with
the unionists, they began to form
plans to force the hand of the legal
department of the United States in
an endeavor to bring about a settle
ment. This move was decided upon
by the legal advisers of the strikers
after they had received what they
considered reliable information that
the Attorney General would not make
a move to bring into operation the

government against the packers I'M

THROUGH FEAR OF CHOLERA
81. Petersburg Undergoing a thorough
Cleaning And Disinfectlng.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 11.-Several
cases of cholera are said to have oc.
cured in st. Petersburg. This has
not been officially confirmed, but it is
fact that the government is contem.
plating the adoption of reactionary
measures and the Russian press is
anxiously discussing the matter.
A story to the effect that several
cases of cholera had occurred in ST.
Petersburg, two of which had resulted
fatally, prove upon investigation to be
entirely without foundation. The re-
port had its origin in the death of
two persons in a suburb of the city
ten days ago from an intestinal d.
sease in no way resembling cholera,
but color was added to the story from
the fact that the police have been
taking precautions against the intro
duction Of the disease from the Cas-
plan shores, of which, however, there
is but remote possibility Neverthe-
less the restaurants have been or.
dered to use only filtered water and
unsanitary buildings are being over
hauled, cleaned and disinfected. The
sanitary authorities say that the only
real cause for alarm is to be found in
the city of Nizhee Novgorod, the cap
ital of the governp ent of that name.
where the annual fair is now in pro-
gress. Quantities of merchandise have
been brought there from Persia, by
way of Baku, and these might posi-
bly, carry the infection.
Even should the disease reach st.
Pc.'---shGrs, it L not likely to be of
seTere character owing to the ad.
vanced season and low temperature.

cATTLEMEM LOSING MONEY.
Afraid to market Stock Owing to Un-
certain Conditions.

Ardmore, I. T., Aug. 9.-The packing
house strike is having disastrous eff.
feet upon the cattle interests in In
dian Territory. Large herds of cattle
cannot be marketed while the strike
is pending, and as result, stockmen
will suffer heavy financial losses.
Very few cattle have moved and rail-
roads have cancelled orders for equip
ment, in many cases. The roads show
disposition, however, to handle all
business, but cattlemen are holding
out in the hope that the strike will
soon end and that the market will soon
be on normal basis. Already cattle
men have lost good deal of money.
In some instances there have been
shipments, but these were made neces-
sary by the fact that the banks and
commission companies were pressing
cattle owners and again the uncertain
ty of the strike had much to do with
these shipments.

RAILROAD BRIDGE BREAKS DOWN
Bodies OF Nearly One Hundred Victims Have Been
Rec0yered--S0me Miles From Scene.
MANY ARE BURIED BENEATH THE SAND

Pueblo, Colo, Aug 10.-The wreck
of the Worlds Fair Flyer on the Den
yer C Rio Grande railroad near Ed
en-, seven miles north Of Pueblo,
proves to have been one of the great
est railroad disasters in the history
of this country. Two crowded pas
senger cars and baggage car were
engulfed in torrent that tore out
a trestle spanning Steele's hollow,
otherwise known as Dry Creek, and,
so far as known, only three of the
occupants of these cars escaped
death.
Fortunately. two sleeping cars and
a diner, completing the train, remain
ed on the track at the edge of the
abyss, and none of their occupants
were killed or injured.
How many persisted will probably
never be definitely ascertained, for
the treacherous sands are drifting
over the bodies. During the day bod
les were recovered all the way along
Fountain river from the scene of the
wreck to this city. At o'clock two
bodies were taken from the stream

heir to the Russian throne has beer
born. the empress and child are do
ing well.
An imperial manifesto is published
announcing the birth of an heir. II
invites all Russian subjects to Offer
their prayers for the prosperity Of
the heir to the throne.
In receiving the congratulations OF
his court the emperor in brief re
ply, said:
m Il am happier at the birth of a
son and heir than at a victory of my
troops, for now face the future calm
ly and without alarm, knowing by
this sign that the war will be brought
to happy conclusion"
The emperor and empress of Russia,
formerly Princess Eliz of Hesse, who
were married November IA, 1894, had
previous to the child just born, four
daughters, Olga, born November g.,
1895; Tatiana, born May 30, 1897; Ma
rie, born June IA, 1899, and Anastas-
ia, born June S, 1901.
The emperor and empress have for
some time past, in anticipation of the
event, been residing at Alexandra vii
la at Peterhoff, the summer palace of
their majesties. The villa, so-called
is situated in one of the most beauti-
full parks of Russia, about one and
a half hours ride from St. Petersburg,
on the Baltic railroad, which runs
northeast from ST. Petersburg to the
shores of the Baltic, extending as far
as Ri2. In the park are several lakes,
at the end of one of which is the
Golden Staircase" marble steps
covered with real gold. The palace
is not large building when compared
with the winter palace at ST. Peters
burg. In the Park are several other
palaces occupied by different grand
dukes and their suites, and in the
neighborhood are many country resi-
denccs of the nobility and the gen.
try.

new HEIR TO THRONE

at Peterhoff early last month and
have been there ever since. Daily
large crowds of people have gathered
at Peterhoff for 1t seemed as IL the
whole nation was drawing neal to
the sovereign.
The birth so greatly wished for
that Of ar heir To TIC Russian throne,
occurred not in the great palace OF
ST. Petersburg, but in the Alexandria
Villa, one of the group of four small
palaces in secluded corner Of the
magnificent Peterhoff park. In one
of these places the empress had been
living for weeks. The other three
are occupied by members of the i'm
perial family gathered there in expec-
tation of the event, including the en-
press mother, his majestys two Sis
tiers, the Grand Duchess Xenia and
Olga, his brother, Grand duke Mich
ael, and other relatives. The Alexan.
dria Villa is a much more private
spot than the grand palace. The
warm brown tinted buildings, in the
center of which rises a tall, square
tower, are set in thick forest of
oaks, birches and lindens, hiding
them from view on every side ex-
cept toward the Gulf of Finland,
whose waters lap the foundation of
the nearest shoreward building. From
this section of the park the public has
been excluded for days, past, while
short mile down the coast the chill
dren romped ond shouted under the
deserted windows of the big Peter
hoff palace, and crowds of visitors
gathered every afternoon to watch
the marvellous fountains, second only
in all Europe to those of Versailles.
The birth Of the heir to the throne
was attended with all the ceremon-
ial ordained by imperial tradition. In
accordance with the Russian law
there were present, beside the en-
peror, Baron Fredericks, the master
of ceremonies, and Prince Dolgor-
ousky, the grand marshal of the court.
DR.. Rott, the emperors family ply
stefan, was the accoucheur, and DR..
Hiruch, was the surgeon in attend
ance.
There are great many traditions
about the name. The first Alexis, who
won many victories over the Poles,
endeared himself to his people and
Is known in Russian history as "The
Father of His Country"
The name is not particularly
lucky one. Alexis Petrovitch was or
1ered to be executed by his father,
Peter the Great, for treason, but died
n prison.
A curious coincidence is that the
heir was born on the anniversary of
of st, Seraphim, and
another coincidence is that the birth |
occurred on the anniversary of the |
of Admiral Alexieff as |
