PULLnAN PORTER

Was Discharged for Trying to Organ
lzs a UnIon-Has Written Book
Setting Forth the Porter's Wrongs.
"Freemen, Yet Slaves Under Abe
Lincoln's Son." Is the title OF book
let written by c. F. Anderson, dis
charged porter of the Pullman COM
papy, who is leading movement to or
ganize 5000 Pullman car porters. The
booklet is an appeal for better wages,
a rearrangement OF hours and soft
ening Of certain hardships which the
writer declares all porters endure.
Robert T. Lincoln, president Of the
Pullman company, Is taken severely to
task for an alleged lack of considera-
tion for the men who contribute much
to tho service of the company"
Anderson attributes his dismissal to
the company's belief that he was Or
ganizing a union of porters. He de-
clares that the organization now being
formed will be a benefit association,
which will appeal rather than demand.
Public sentiment can bring us
things we want" said Anderson, land
we shall play for 1t as hard as we
can"
In letter to President Lincoln, An
derson wrote:
You were elected president of the
Pullman company at salary equaling
that Of the President of the United
States. That being true. we under
stand how hard 1t must be for you to
realize how much real suffering men
have to endure who work like slaves
for the meager salary of $25 month.
The thing that now confronts you is
industrial slavery. The situation that
controlled your father was chattel
slavery, and right msnfully did he deal
with It,"
In another part of the booklet An
derson points out that on one occa.
sion he was on practically continuous
duty for ia hours.
AS for tips, Anderson declares that
II 1t were not for the generosity of
travellers a porter could not exist.
Anderson declares that porters on
the smaller lines, who are obliged tC
perform the work of conductors in
connection with their own duties
should receive an advance of IS, or SAC
month. The ordinary porter. he
holds. should be given $35 month in
stead of $25. the present salary.
"Freemen, Yet Slaves" will be sent
broadcast through the country. with
editions de luxe for the officials OF the
Pullman company.

INCIDENT CREATES QUITE A SEN
sATloN IN THE VICINITY OF
ROYALToN.
MAY ALWAYS BE MYSTERY
SKELETON OF A MAN WAS DUG
UP IN SAME LOCALITY Is
YEARS AGO.

ROyaltOn. Mimi, Oct. ga large
quantity of :hcney, composed princi-
pally of bills. was turned up by the
sons of a Rrockway farmer while
blowing. There was also some silver,
but the great bulk Of the find is in
bills. 1t Is estimated that there are ut
least $4,000, but it is doubtful if the
finder will realize anything, as the
paper money is badly deccmposed,
The money was found on the rm
of Daniel Sobieck, in section. 80, town
of Brackway, Stearns county. by two
of his boys who were blowing. The
spot where the money was rnearthed
is about four rods from creek known
as Spunk brook.
Bones Also Found.
A number of human bones were also
unearthed and the find has created
quite sensation In the neighborhOod.
There is considerable speculation as
to how the Eln'.ey came to be placed
where it was found. also as to the
identity of the bones. The old settlers
tell of the finding of the skeleton Of
man at this point over twenty-five
years ago. No one was missed in the
neighbOrhood and the theory at that
time was that it was the remains of
some stranger travelling through the
country. who had either peri-bcd
through exposure. or sickness, or been
killed by wild beasts No money or
other things of value were discovered
at that time, and the finding of the
money lends color to the theory that
there was no foul play. The fact that
the treasure was plove! up shows
that it had been buried.
Why Was It Buried?
How came the skeleton, found twen-
ty-five years ago, to be near the spot
where the money was secreted? Who
was the man whose bones were
found? Whose money was it and who
secreted it? These are questions the
residents of the neighborhood are ask
ing themselves.
The silver found. eight half-dollar
pieces and a few minor coins, bear
dates 1858 and earlier. All has been
left with H.. Turrltt!n. cashier Of the
bank OF Rice, and he believes the coin
is spurious. This lends new phase

HEAVY ARTILLERY DUEL is KEPT
UP THROUGHOUT THE
NIGHT.
JAPANESE ASSUME THE oFFENs.
I'VE AND MAKE A SLIGHT
ADVANCE.

Dispatches from the Far East indi-
cate that the conflict between the
armies of Kuropatkin and Oyama has
been resumed.
Last night the Japs attacked the
Russians southeast of Mukden and af-
ter an all-night struggle captured q
village. The battle continues to-day.
Directly south Of the city, on the
Shakhe river, an artillery duel was
kept up throughout the night.
The Russians made several attacks,
but were repulsed. They are attacking
again to-day, but without success so
far as reported.
Japs Take Russian Positions.
Mukden, Oct. 20. - News has Just
been received that the Japanese yes
terday assumed the offensive on the
east front and made a slight advance.
1t is rumored that the Japanese have
taken all the Russian positions at
ErdagOu, between Huansian and Fin.
diapu, on the road from Mukden to
Bentsiaputze, but the report has not
been confirmed and looks improbable.
Russians Make a Move.
There was reconnaissance in force
last night by the Russian right flank
and desultory firing until o'clock in
the morning. The Japanese were dis.
covered to be in small force along the
whole line. but this does not preclude
the possibility of an attack by them.

portant events will not develop for a
few days. but Judging from the hurried
manner in which the Chinese are set

along the western front. The whole
army is delighted with the appoint.

Far East. The whole
Desire Of the Men
Is to advance. The general opinion is
that when the fight comes it will be of
desperate character. Every precau-
ton has been taken by the Russians
to deal generously with the Chinese
who have suffered through the fighting
in their territory. Not only has spe.
cial commission been created for the
purpose of paying for all food and
forage Communicated. but compensa-
tion is ararded for houses in villages
destroyed. This course has astonished
the natives beyond measure, and there
have been many remarkable scenes
during the disbursements of the com.
mission. Chinese who have suffered
by the loss of property fell upon their
knees and thanked the Russian Off.
