SEWERAGE MAN
COMMENCED WORK
HAS PLANS FOR A SYSTEM FOR CITY
NEARLY COMPLETED.
COST IS ABOUT 81 PER FOOT
Survey Indicates That The Base OF Court
House |, 220 Feet Above The Paint
River Chance Is Good One.

Mr. +. g. Bradbury, the engineer
who was recently engaged by the board
of public works to lay out system Of
sewerage for this city has arrived and
~ hard at work on tine survey. He
came here last sunday and started
work Monday Surveying and taking
levels. This work consumed several
DAYS aud he is now about through
compiling tbe data aud q making "a
sketch of the system which, i'm bis
judgement will apply 10 this city.
The most interesting part OF Tins level
work was the finding Of the height Of
the court house yard above the river
bed. Court house square Is the high
est point of the hill .upon which the
city stands and the river is the place
where the sewers will end. He finds
that in less than Of mile there
is a rise OF 220 feet.
When seen by reporter for the Dia-
mond Drill last Tuesday evening Mr..
Bradbury expressed himself as well
pleased with the outlook for a cheap
and efficient system Of sewerage for
this city He says that the chances
here for sewerage are the best Of any
that he has seen Ia long time.
During the course Of the conversation
Mr.. Bradbury was asked as 10 about
the average cost ct sewerage in cities
Of this size -He replied "about Sl 90
per foot is the average You under
stand that in some places il costs a
little more and in some less. depend.
ing upon the chance and other condi
tions
He viii finish the work here in
time for the next regular meeting Of
the council and board Of public works
and will submit 90 those boards
report His report will embody a
complete plan for sewering the entire
city, with specifications and estimates
Of the cost
Mr. Bradbury says that. In his opin
ion, the board Of public works did
wise act in having him figure on
plan for the entire city for when the
work is done in piecemeal on separ
ate plans, one section will be put in
one way and the other another and
such systems seldom work we'll In
the case of this city he will compile
plan for the entire city but only so

enty years, and Mrs. l.. F. Small were
fatally injured.
Two steanlftters had been engaged
TO make repairs to the heating plant
and as they entered the building they
detected the smell of gas. They
thought little of the circumstance,
however, and as they passed into the
furnace room they struck a match to
= light the gas jet. A tremendous ex'
plosion followed. The two workmen
were blown through a basement win.
dow and landed un;njured in an open
boxcar standing on nearby track.
Another car was blown from the rails
The building was completely wrecked.
The four children killed were pass.

ACTION BY GRAND JURY.
Four Former Officials Of Northwestern
Life Of Minneapolis Indicted.

Four Former Officials Of Northwestern
Life Of Minneapolis Indicted.
Minneapolis, Nov. 6.-The grand
jury during the day reported four in
dictments of men connected with the
former management of the Northwest
ern National Life association, which
has been reorganized under the direc-
ton of State Insurance Commissioner
O'Brien. The men indicted are w. F.
Bechtel. former president; w. A. Kerr,
former attorney and director; Wallace
Campbell and J. f. Force, who were
officials under the regime before Bech-
tel secured control. The report adds
that there was evidence before the
jury showing that former State Insur-
ance Commissioner J. A. Onslaught
messy accepted bride of $4,000 for
suppressing an unfavorable report and
that George F. Getty was a party to
the conversion of the company's funds.
But the statute of limimtations pre-
vents their Indictment. The jury ex-
pressly says that the present manage
ment is honest and efficient and is not
to be blamed for the deeds of the
ousted management. The charges
against the four indicted are CONVEX
sion of funds, bribery and fraud.

APPEAL TO BALFOUR
WIVES AND WOMEN RELATIVES
OF UNEMPLOYED INVOKE AID
OF BRITISH PREMIER.

London, Nov. 6.-The desperate con-
clifton Of the poor of London was
brought to the notice of Premier Bal
our during the day by an enormous
crowd of wives and other women rel.
;.;ives of the unemployed, who did not
Hesitate to tell the premier that unless
something is speedily done to lessen
iAcir sufferings there will be blood
shed.
Don't forget that hungry men are
desperate men," said one of the speak
ers. all of whom had the same tale to
eli of husbands out of work and starv-
ing wives and children. The pinched
faces and tattered clothing of the
women, some of whom had babies in
their arms, bore eloquent testimony of
the truth of the complaints. Enormous
crowds of women from all parts of
London marched through the streets,
headed by deputati0n which Mr.. Bal
four received at the Office of the local
government board.
The "Marsellaise" was heard as the
procession advanced, perhaps the first
time it was ever heard under such cir
cumstances in the streets of London.
Only thirty women were admitted to
the presence of Mr.. Balfour. The pre-.
mier was very, sympathetic. He &C.
knowledged that the evil was very real,
but he had little to suggest In the way
of alienation except an expression of
hope that public charity would come
to the aid of the unemployed.
At mass meeting later the reply
of Mr.. Balfour was declared unworthy
OF the head of a great nation and his
name was repeatedly Kissed.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 6.-The Official
Messenger prints anOth or strongly
worded appeal for confidence. It bears
Count Whites earmarks, hints strongly
that the empire is thu eatened with dis
memberment unless the people rally
to its support and draws attention to
the different character of the repre-
sensations with which the government
is being besieged to quell the existing
disorders in the country, some OF them
complaining of the zeal of the troops
and others of their inaction, some ask
ing for military protection and others
for the entire removal of the soldiers
although it is impossible in every
case,' the note says, ito diagnose the
true cause of the conflicts it is clear
that their origin generally is the hos
tility aroused among the different
classes of the population. Those who
are dissatisfied with the manifesto pro-
woke the Indignation of those who re.
ceived it with gratitude leading to
attacks and counter-attacks, all of
which could be avoided if the people
only had confidence that the reforms
set forth in the imperial manifesto Hll
be executed. Disorders accomplish
nothing and only delay the reforms,
which are designed to give the people
representative assembly in which to
settle their differences. The duty OF
every faithful subject of the emperor
is to aid in the pacification of the

Chicago, Nov 3.-COmplete i'm.
munity from prosecution under the
pending indictment returned by the
federal grand jury several months ago
is claimed by J. Ogden Armour and
the other defendant packers and
agents charged with being promoters
OF the so-called ''beef trust" in an addi-
tional plea in bar filed by John s.
Miller, the packers representative.
The new plea, which came as a CON-
plete surprise to the government, sets
up as facts that when James R. Gar
field, commissioner of corporations, in
vestlgated the beef business he prom
ised the packers that whatever testi-
mony they gave without being under
oath, or whatever documentary evi.
dence they voluntarily produced, the
defendants should have the same
rights, indemnities and immunities as
it they had testified under oath and
compulsion
The plea alleges that the testimony
and evidence, it. was understood,
should not be used by the department
OF justice in any way as basis for
any prosecution or proceedings agains.
the defendants.
Notwithstanding the promises of the
government it is declared the testi-
mony and evidence produced by the
defendants were given to the depart
ment OF justice and finally to the local
district attorney and that this infor-
nation has been used and is now be-
ing used in the prosecution Of the
packers. All these allegations the de-
PENDANTS proclaim themselves ready to
verify.

MASSACRE CONTINUES
NEWS FROM INTERIOR OF RUSSIA

PIIage and lncendiarism Rampant In
the Caucasus and 1essarabia, Jewe
Being Slaughtered and Their Homes
Burned and Looted Without Sign
Of interference on the Part Of tho
Troops.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 6.-The news
from the interior shows that there
has been little improvement in the
situation. In some places disorders
have recommended with redoubled
fury. The horrible story of massacre
at Odessa is not fully known here. In
the Caucasus the Tartars and Russians
are cutting each others threats and
the Armenians are giving themselves
up 70 pillage and incendiarism.
From Bachmut, Bessarabia, comes
an entirely new revolving tale. A
three days attack on the Jews began
Thursday with every indication of po-
lice organization. Jewish students
were beaten, the Jewish stores in the
markets were sacked during the day
and during the night the plumber of
residences commenced. Troops ar
rived OH the scene, but the following
day the work Of pillage was resumed
before the eyes of the soldiers and po-
lice. The prayers of the hunted Jews
for mercy were unavailing. Toward
noon the torch was applied to stores
and houses. The police would not per.
NIT the Jews to fight the fire and the
troops we're withdrawn. Then the pill
lage began afresh. It was temporarily
stopped Saturday morning through the
efforts of the Russian peasants, but the
police spread false reports which
aroused the mob and there was q re-
newal Of the work of plumber aud mas
sacre. The losses are said to be in
the millions of dollars.
A telephone message from Moscow
says the Jews are terror-stricken with
fear of a massacre there. Many of
them have abandoned their lodgings
and are sleeping in the house Of their
friends.
