Of the revolver which fired the
dynamite was uncovered this morn
ing by railroad construction gang.
A large quantity of unrecogniza-
BILE remains of human bodies were
also uncovered. Blood hounds
have been sent for, but it would
seem like futile attempt to appre-
bend the assassins, as the trail is
SO near town that many persons
have traversed the ground and
vicinity.
Many citizens express the opinion
that burning would be the punish
ment if the criminals are caught.
THE county will be at no expense

prominent citizen.
A meeting of the Mine Owners
association has been called. Re-
wards aggregating thousands will
be offered and Governor Peabody

Cripple Creek, June IA posse
of three hundred deputy sheriffs,
heavily armed, is now securing the
hills Of the Cripple Creek district,
with the object of rounding up
every union man and every loafer
in the camp. When found, they
will be escorted to the county lines
and warned never again to return
to Teller county. The union men
are also we'll armed and say they
will resist any attempt at deporta-
ton. Many of them are desperate
and serious trouble is about to
occur
Cripple Greek, June 7. After a
night of terror, comparative peace
prevails throughout this camp to-
day, but nobody believes the trou-
bic is ended. Fifteen deaths have
resulted from the dynamite outrage
at Independence and several of the
injured are in critical condition.
Two more were added today to the
list of those killed at Independ-
nee. 1t is believed that the bodies
Of several others were blown to
atoms and that their remains are in
the mass of flesh and bones at the
bottom of the hole made by the
tremendous charge of dynamite.
i Victor, Colo, June 1.-Excite-
meut ran at high pitch last night.
From dark until dawn the streets
were almost as crowded as during
the day in the belief that darkness
would invite further bioodshed.
The expectations, however, proved
groundless. All night, however,
the streets and paths to the mines
were closely watched by troops and
every few minutes hard facet
miner would be caught and placed
in the armory, which was under {
heavy guard. The drag net wa.
cast far and wide and more than

lack of rain. The third crop of al
falfa is about ready for harvesting
and some cutting has been done In por-
tions of eastern Oregon.
But little plowing or seeding was ae-
complshed, as the soil Is too dry for
Working. In the Willamette valley a
few fields have been "disked' in on
ground plowed last spring,
Corn Is ripening nicely; the ears are
large and well filed. and on the whole
the crop promises well, Pastures are
very dry and stock is losing flesh,
Prune drying is progressing rapidly
in southern Oregan, In the william
ette valley the fruit is rather slow in
ripeding, and picking and drying will
not be general much before next week;
the crop is very light. Late apples,
while rather small, promise abundant
yields: the early varieties continue to
drop more than usual.

ARMIES AGAIN IN READINESS

built and Are Getting In Good
Shape for Battle Expected
to Be Fought Soon.

Toxic. Sept, 81. noon.-~An impress
sion is growing general that an en-
Igagement will soon take place at Muk-
den. General Kuropatkin is evidently
preparing TO make @ determined re-
sistance to any attempt to dispossess
him and is entrenching and construct
ling defenses. He has an immense force
available but the opinion Is expressed
that Tie pass would be more favor
able location for defense. The Rus
SLAMS, however, are unwilling to suffer
the loss of prestige which would be In
volved by the abandonment OF Mukden.
Both armies are now rested and have
recovered from the effects OF the fight

fight and the weather is favorable for
military operations. The roads are
drying and the Japanese are speedily
restoring the railway, A party OF mill
|itary attaches who recently came to
Lao Yang from Toxic were dragged
for one hundred miles in open trucks
by coolies. The army is now forward
ing rolling stock with captured cars
land engines and the service will soon
be thoroughly organized.
With the Lao river open the task
|of transporting men and supplies to
the advanced base OF operations at
Liao Yang is simple.
There Is much speculation now as to
the extent of the fall and winter cam
paign. 1t is generally thought that
Field Marshal oyama win continue
pressing Kuropatkin back until the
winter falls and will then strongly
guard his advance line until spring.
The Japanese carried on an aggressive
campaign against the Chinese during
the winter, but conditions are different
in this war.
A renewal of the attack upon Port
Arthur on newer and more aggressive
lines is expected this week and 1t is
predicted in we'll informed quarters that
the reduction OF that fortress win be
accomplished within 10 days or a fort
night.
The authorities continue silent con-
corning operations there. TIE publi-
cation OF a small list OF casualties in
the naval brigade operating on land
is the only recent official utterance In
reference to the siege. The spoils taxi

General KuroN reports the capture of
four miles of railway rails and 200

His New. Born Babe.
Coquille. Ore. Sept. l.-Earl Steel
must pass the remainder Of his life
behind the prison bars. according to
sentence imposed upon him for the
murder of his newborn infant on the
afternoon of last June 2s.
Steel is but 81 years OF age and has a
frank, boyish face. appearing even
younger than he is. His conviction Of
murder in the second degree has come
as no surprise to those who knew the
history of the case. and probably noth-
ing other than his youth prevented the
passing OF first degree verdict
On the 2Srd of last June Steel called
DR.. Russell to his home on the ground
that his wife was suffering from
stomach complaint. The doctor. dis
covering that she was about to become
a mother, told Steel there was no oc-
casion for attempting secrecy and was
asked to assist in concealing the birth.
DR.. Russell refused and was told by
Steel that the child should not live.
Mrs. Steel besought him to give her
poison. After the birth of the child
the doctor told officers of the threats
made, by Steel and. accompanied by the
sheriff, returned to the house. The
infant was missing. but search dis
closed its body, wrapped in gunny
sacks and laid away in closet. Its
head had been crushed.
A coroners jury was empaneled that
night and doctors testified that the
babe had lived 80 minutes after birth
before being murdered. The jury
charged Steel with infanticide.
Throughout his Imprisonment Steel
refused to admit his guilt and when
convicted made no comment except to
say For her sake"

THE CANAL ZONE.
No Settlement Reached in the Cues
tions Pending.

Panama. July 16.-No settlement has
been reached of the questions pending
between the republic of Panama and
the authorities of the canal zone. The
Panama government is firm in the be-
lief that the only correct Interpretation
of the canal treaty is that until the
canal shall be constructed all parts
of the isthmus are under the direct
jurisdiction of Panama. The fact that
the relations between the Panama gov
ernment and Maj Gen. Davis, govern
or of the canal zone, are very cordial
leads the people of the republic to
hope that the questions at issue will
be satisfactorily settled
One Of the results of the situation
arising out of the decree issued by
Gov. Davis establishing a custom
house in the canal zone and the order
compelling all steamers departing
from La Boca to secure clearance pa
pers from the United States authori-
ties is the union of all political par
ties toward common end The last
act of the assembly before adjourning
Friday was to unanimously approve
proposition that all the congressman
should &c to President Amador and
offer their services in aiding the gov
ernment to defend the rights of the
nation. The president was deeply
moved by this act, which proved that
all political parties are with the gov
eminent in its attitude. In addressing
the congressman, he said he had abso.
lutte faith in the government of the
United States, whose generous and no.
BILE conduct towards the South Ameri-
can republics left no doubt that the
canal treaty would be correctly in
terpreted.
Washington, July 16.-Osceolo Kyle,
of Alabama, Friday took the. oath Of
Office as judge in the canal zone in
Panama and will sail from New York
next week. There will be five judicial
districts with judge in each.

PAUL KRUGER DEAD.
Transvaal's Ex-President Died
Chanting a Hymn. /,
The Remains Will Be Buried in Pre-
tcria-Boers Will Wear Mourn
inc Until After the Funeral
British Comments.

Clarens, Switzerland, July 15.-With
his last conscious breath chanting the
Boer national hymn, which had pre-
ceded the rattle of musket1y in the
kopjes of South Africa and had echoed
as the dead Beers were lowered into
the grave when struck down by Eng
lish bullets, "Oom" Paul Kruger, who
will figure In history as one of its
most unique characters, passed to
painless Oblivion and then his heart
beats came slower and slower until
finally the vital forces were exhausted
and his soul sped from its earthly con-
fine. "'Tis Gods command that here
we stand and aye defend our native
land" The sentiment of that song,
coming from the feeble lips, stopped
but the sentiment will go on as will
the soul of "Oom" Paul down to the
end of eternity.
The end came at o'clock Thursday
morning. Mr.. Kruger lost conscious
ness Monday. His daughter and som
in-law were with him at the time Of
his death. He had been out only once
since his arrival here, at the begin
ming of last month. The ex-president s
body was embalmed, and Thursday
afternoon the remains were placed in
vault pending funeral arrangements.
Application will be made to the Brit
ish government for authority to trans
port the remains to the Transvaal. In
the meantime they will be temporarily
inferred here.

bling under date of July Is, says;
"a naval engagement took place to-
day off Port Arthur"
st. Petersburg, July ia special
dispatch from Tatchekino, dated July
II, repeats the account of the attempt
ed storming of Port Arthur on July
10 and says that the Russians assum-
ed the offensive and attacked with the
bayonet.
The japanese retired in the widest
disorder.
The Chinese estimated the Japanese
losses at $4,000.
The spirit of the Japanese, the dis
patch says. is sinking as the result Of
the Port Arthur defeat.
Cholera and dysentery are epidemic
at Feng-Wang-C -Cheng and there are
many deaths daily.
A heavy movement of Japanese is
reported east of Hai-Cheng. The Rus
slams reconnoitered almost to Kai
Chou before meeting the Japanese.
They drew the shrapnel fire of the
Japanese, but having found them, the
Russians retired without loss.
Lao Yang, July 16.-Gen. Samsonoff
seriously checked the Japanese ad-
vance in the, direction of Yin Kow July
II. His Cossacks ambushed the jap
anese column and put 1000 out of ac-
ton. The Japanese attempted to ad-
vance to Yin Kow along the coast, but
they were hindered by the marshy
country. which also increased their
difficulties in carrying off their dead
and wounded during the retreat.
The Russians had expected a move
ment in this direction and company
of cavalry with two guns lay in am
bush in the high grass, catching the
Japanese in the most difficult part of
the coast road and shattering their
advance column. The artillery fire of
the Russians was splendid and the
Japanese were unable to make an ef-
fective reply. They were forced to re-
treat The Russian losses were six
killed and seven wounded.

of regret, especially because the ex-

The flags on all the government
buildings are at half-mast. Mr.. Kru-

cry district of the Transvaal
London, July 15.-The announce
ment of Mr.. Kruger's death was the
main feature of all the afternoon pa
pers here. It was accompanied by
lengthy sketches of his career. All the
papers devoted editorials to the for
mer. presidents demise, refraining
from anything denunciatory and speak
ing generously of his remarkable char.
acteristics.
The Westminster Gazette said:
Enough time has elapsed between the
end of our long struggle with Mr. Kru-
ger and his death to enable us to all
pay sincere tribute to his memory.
His stubborn conservatism and tenac-
ity to the lost cause was in many re.
spects heroic"
The Pail Mall Gazette remarked:
''Englishmen can afford to give him
his due. History will be unable to de-
ny that he was a great man."
The Evening Standard said: "a
great figure has now passed finally
from the worlds stage However bane
full an influence he may have exercised
on the affairs of South Africa most
Englishmen will certainly concede that
his abilities entitled him to the fullest
measure of respect"
Rome, July 15.-All the newspapers
contain sympathetic references to the
death of former President Kruger
calling him the personification of the
Boer idea and expressing regret that
he should die "a man without a coun
try"
Amsterdam, July 15.-All the news
papers of Holland publish long eulo
gies of Paul Kruger. The Nieuwe Rot
terdamsch Courant says: "We be
lieve as little as he did that free
Boer nation has been lost. Kruger;

THE eUATEMALAN ANTS.
They Destroy Cotton Boil Worms and
Other Injurious Insects.

Washington, July 16-O. F. Cook,
the discoverer of the Guatemalan boil
weevil eating ants, has wired the de-
partment of agriculture from Texas
that the new ants are destroying cot
ton boil worms and are attacking sim
liar injurious insects with even great.
er avidity than they do the boil vice.
vii. Another important fact is that
the ants do not injure at all the lady
bird larvae, which are beneficial in
sects. Mr.. Cook reports that the agri-
cultural value of the ants now depend
chiefly upon acclimitization and rapid
ity of propagation. These matters are
being investigated.
