JACOBS LAW TO RULE.
Young Women Who Won Farms in
South Dakota Reply to Suitors.

outh OdkOIa Reply TO SuttOrS.
Because about 10000 men of all ages
from every State in the Union want to
marry the 120 women who are eligible
Tor matrimony and drew homesteads ON
the Rosebud Indian reservation near
Bonesteel. S. D., these 120 women have
formed a mutual protective society. The
man who parries into the family must
show he is able to work a farm and must
put in whole season at blowing, SOW
ing and harvesting. After he does all
this work, for which the object of his
affections receives the reward, the apph-
cant may be rejected if he does not
please the owner Of the homestead. But
if ms work has been well done, if there
has been no grumbling, if the burrows
have been straight and even, then the
man may possibly become the possessor
of a wife and a quarter section of good
Rosebud land. Miss Ruth Pyrtle, for
merly of Lincoln, Neb., is president of
the society, and Miss Estelle Sale, for
merly of Mexico, Mo-, is vice president.

BIG CHICAGO TIE-UP.
TRANSFERS STRIKE PARALYzES
BUSINESS OF CITY.
Hundreds of Police and Armed Deputy
Sherifis Accompany Delivery Wagons
Thrcughop. the City Riotous Dis
turbances Result in Several Deaths.

Chicago has recently been passing
through some of the worst labor trou-
bles in its history Not since the great
railroad strike of 1894, when President
Cleveland sent Federal troops to the
city TO preserve order. have such
scenes of turbulence and rioting been
seen as those which now are daily tax
ing place in Chicago's streets. Shoot
ing, stabbing, sandbagging and a gen.
eral reign of lawlessness and disorder
have marked the progress of the team
sters' strike, which now is affecting
nearly every busiress in the city. Sew
eral persons have died as the result of
injuries sustained in street riots anil
scores have been badly injured The
non-union men employed as drivers by
the Employers Teaming Company
which is fighting the teamsters on
strike, form large proportion of the
victims. Many of the strikers. or their
sympathizers. have also been injured.
Innocent persons, too. have suffered,
many of them having been mistaken
for strike breakers. The non-union
drivers are armed and freely use their
revolvers.
With city police and deputy sheriffs
riding on wagons by the side of non
union drivers, the business of the big
merchants was facilitated Tuesday to
such an extent that they declared the
strike was virtually broken. At the
same time there were no signs of
weakening on the part of the strikers.
Judge Kohlsaat decided that the la
Dor men named in the Federal injunc-
ton should be subpoenaed and re-
CURED to testify before Master in
Chancery Sherman. Charles Dold.
president of the Chicago Federation
of Labor, said that it had been agreed
upon by the labor men that they
should not testify, as they had been
advised by their attorneys that they
could not be compelled to do so.
President Dold and a committee
went before States Attorney Healy
and asked him to call a special grand
jury to investigate the charges of CON
spiracy which the labor men have
made against members of the Employ
ers' Teaming Company in regard to
intimidating certain transfer compan-
les who refused to lock out their men.
Mayor Dunno appointed a commits
sion to arbitrate the differences be-
tween the contestants, but the employ
ers were not inclined to pay much at
tention to the commission.
In its statement the commission
asks for the cooperation of all good
citizens to aid it in investigating the
causes of the strike and the continued
disturbed conditions prevailing in the
city. 1t says the first and supreme
duty of the Mayor and the police is to
suppress violence and punish all of
tenders.

| NpW Y0rk breathing spell is being
49, taken in numerous lines
of trade and industry pending the adj
vent of settled weather, clearer views
of crop outturn and the settlement of
the Chicago strike. Heavy rains or
cool weather have retarded corn and
cotton crop preparations and retail
trade, but have rather favored winter
wheat, which fully holds the magnif-
cent promise of month ago, while
an increased area is certain in spring
wheat, which latter, however, needs
more moisture. Iron and steel are
rather quieter as regards new bust
ness, but structural material is eagerly
bid for. The building trades and
allied lines, such as lumber, hardware,
paints and glass, are apparently doing
the business of their lives, unchecked
and untouched by the usual May day
labor disturbances. All statistical
measures of trade progress point to
general business showing satisfactory
increases over preceding years at this
