AND NO STAMPS ARE EXECUTED
UNDER CONTRACT.
NEW YORK SHOP WINS
Underbids Government Printer Near
Iy Enough to Net Great Saving
to Uncle Sam-ExpensiVe Expert
ment Finally Leads to the Con-
tract System.

New York, Oct. 3O.-An output of
twenty-seven million postage stamps
per day-one stamp for every third
person in the United States-is
called for by the contract just award
ed to the American Bank Note COM
pany. This company printed Uncle
Sans stamps from 1847 to 1894, then
the. costly government bureau of en-
craving and printing was given the
work, and every year since then con-
gress has come to it's rescue with a
big extra appropriation to meet the
deficiency incurred in the work of
turning out the stamps at Washing
ton.
For the three years previous to
1906 tenders were asked, but the bid
of the government bureau was purely
formal and was far below what a pri-
vate concern would take the work for.
The last congress, however, under
the postoffice appropriation bill, COM
PEELED the bureau of engraving and
printing to change its policy and put
in a bid at not less than actual cost.
The result was that the Bank Note
company underbid the government
bureau by five and one-half cents on
the large size stamps and by a
smaller margin on the ordinary sizes.
But SO small a difference as one one
hundredth of cent per thousand
will result in a huge saving, especially
in view of the fact that the govern
ment's bid included no item such as
genral salaries of administration, in
terest on investment of real estate,
and such similar factors

ards. Agents refuse to say what was
accomplished. 1t is understood that
the schedule of rates is to be given a
big advance, in some cases double the
rate now in effect
Green Bay manufacturers are en-
joying exceedingly low rates now.
Representative of several of the mill
ion dollar companies say their offices
are heavy losers on insurance returns
on special hazards in this city and
an advance is imminent. On the
other hand it is understood that there
is a chance for probable reduction
on mercantile risks.

DETERMINED NOT TO GIVE UP
TO TROOPS.
TWO TRIBES MAY JOIN
Anticipated junction of Utes and
Cheyennes Feared-More Soldiers
Being Hurried ForWard-Efforts
Made to Avoid BattIe-Reneeades
Well Armed and Settlers in Panic.

Billings, Mont, Oct. 31.-A tele-
phone message from Aravada, Wyo,
yesterday stated that the renegade
Utes are entrenched in a strong po-
sition in the hills adjacent to Ara
vada and that the 10th and 9Th cav
airy troops are accommodating pre-
paratory to closing in on the redsking
Apparently the object of the troops
is to overawe the Indians with dis
play of superior force and thus secure
a surrender "ithout bloodshed.
The Utes are determined not to
give in until they have to. The In
dams have been laying in a large
and if the temper Of the leading
tribesmen can be taken as an indica-
ton, they propose to fight or at least
make a show of resistance.
Last night the camp fires of the
Indians blazed brightly and the only
evidence of life was the occasional
fitting of shadow of some warrior
by the fires. The Utes are not paint
ed, nor are they dancing.
Make Fortresses of Ranches.
Moorhead advices state that pan
ic is on there and women and chill
dren are being removed. Ranches
are being converted into fortresses
and every precaution taken to meet
the Indians if they come that way.
Two Tribes May Join.
Sheridan, Wyo., Oct. 31.-A hurried
change in the position of the troops
of the 10th cavalry under Colonel
Augur disclosed the real danger that
now lies in the anticipated junction
of the Cheyennes with the Utes. A
portion of Augur's command was hur-
ried to Sheridan, where supply wag
ons were started northward. From
c. C. Rousculp, a guide, it is learned
that the troops under Augur, rein
forced by two additional companies
from Fort Mackenzie, will proceed to-
day to Ashland, 80 miles north of
Sheridan, to meet troops coming over
land from Fort Keogh. The troops
from Fort Keogh should arrive at
Ashland tonight, but Augur cannot ar
rive there before Thursday night.
Hundreds of Armed Warriors.
Rousculp was with Crook in 1868
and knows the Cheyennes well. He
SAYS there are between 700 and 800
warriors in the tribe and that they
are the best armed Indians in the
west.

SOME BODIES SWEPT
AWAY WITH THE TIDE
Will Never Be Recovered; Victims
of Thorounhfare Wreck Believed
m Number 70,

Atlantic City n. J., Nov. 1.-The
third and last car of the Thorough
fare wreck was lifted from the water
yesterday When placed on the mud
bank the car was in such condition
that it actually fell apart of its own
weight. Chief of Police Maxwell and
a squad of officers made diligent
search for any bodies that may have
been wedged in the car but found
none.
A mystery surrounds the nOn-ap-
pearance of several persons who were
known to have been on the train and
may indicate that their bodies are
either held fast in the thick mud or
have f1oated down with the tide
The local officials say the total
death list is g. On the other hand
many who were early on the ground
and some of those rescued from the
train are inclined to the belief that
several bodies were swept down by
the tide and never will be recovered.
1t is contended by some that the total
loss of life is about 20.

w, 3, MINAHAN DEAD.
Candidate for Congress Suddenly Sue
cumbs.

cumbS.
Green Bay, Wis, Nov. William
Burke Minahan, a candidate for con
gress in the eighth district, known
throughout the state as an educator
and politician died yesterday at
st. Vincents hospital from an attack
of paralysis. He was Y years old.
He was stricken a week ago at Chi
cago and was brought to this city for
treatment at the hospital of which
his two sons, Drs Robert E. and J.
R., are the house physicians. Medical
efforts proved of no avail, although
the venerable old man insisted only
Tuesday in conversation with his
brother Patrick that he would be
about the street in few days. His
condition gradually weakened until
the end came suddenly yesterday
morning at 2:30 o'clock.
Born in Mayo county, Ireland in
1884, he came to this country in 1S48,
locating in New York, where he re
manned until 1859. He moved to Calu-
met county, where he resided on a
farm. For II terms he was elected
county superintendent of schools
That county was known during all OF
this time as a democratic stronghold
and Minahan was about the only re-
publican able to win an office. From
1884 to 1894 the family lived at Osh-
kosh, then President Harrison ap
pointed Mr. Minahan to an important
position in the revenue department
He served the government three
years.
Mr.. Minahan is survived by four
sons and four daughters. Mayor
Robert E. Minahan of this city is the
oldest Of the sons, and the Others
are Dr. John r., DR.. W. N. of Fond
du Lac, Hugh A of Tacoma and Vic
tor I. of this city. The daughters are

WHO HUNG
ANARCHISTS DIES
Joseph E. Gary, Oldest Chicago Jur-
ist, Suddenly Succumbs to Heart
Disease.

Chicago, Nov. Judge Joseph e,
Gary of the superior court died sud
denly at his home in this city yester-
day. The specific cause of death
was degeneration of the heart mus
cles. The judge held court as usual
Tuesday, but was not in his usual
health yesterday morning and sent
word that he would not hold court. He
grew steadily weaker through the day
and expired at about 2:30 o'clock.
He has been a member of the Cook
county bench for 43 years, and was
the oldest judge in point of service as
well as in years. He occupied a ju-
dicial position for greater length oil
time than any man who ever sat up
on bench in this portion of the
state. He made a national reputation
at the time of the anarchist trials in
1886, over which he presided. AS pre-
siding officer at the trial he was re-
peatedly threatened with death by
anarchist sympathizers, and showed
wonderful physical as well as high
moral courage during a very trying
experience that continued for many
months after the anarchists had been
executed.
He was born at Potsdam, New York
in 1921, admitted to the bar in 1874
and practiced at Springfield, Mo-, Las
Vegas, N. M, and San Francisco
coming finally to Chicago in 1856
He was made judge in 1863 and had
been on the bench continuously since
that time.

BODIES FOUND BURIED
IN MUD BENEATH CAR
Coroner Prepares for Investigation
of Atlantic City Horror and M~y

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 31.-The
contention of Coroner Gaskill that a
number of persons who lost their
lives in an electric train wreck on
the Thoroughfare bridge may be
buried in the mud where the cars
plunged, was borne out yesterday
when the bodies of Mrs. Paul Fels-
burg, Mrs. Selma Johnson and that
of Mrs. Sarah Miller were recovered
from under the third car. This car
hung from the abutment in the center
of the bridge with it's nose in the
mud and when the workmen were try

ing to lift it from the water the
bodies worked loose.
The finding of these bodies in
creases the official identified dead to
81 and the total number Of bodies
to So.
Aside from the search for the
bodies, interest now centers on the
inquest, which will be held by COro-
ner, Gasdll on Thursday morning.
While he will not express an opinion
before the inquiry as to the cause of
the accident, it appears from his
statement that he is convinced that
Cured is not as it should be and may
have to be rebuilt

WITH REDSKINS.
BATTLE SEEMS IMMINENT
Natives Ready to Fight With Little
Vocation-SettIers Say Treach-
erous Indian Guides Are Leading
the Regulars on Wild Goose Chase
to Aid Tribesmen's Escape.

Sheridan, Wyo., Nov. IA skirm-
ish occurreu yesterday between a
band of renegade Utes and a troop of
the 10th cavalry on Bitter Greek, ac-
cording to word brought by a special
courier.
The troops had captured so Ute
ponies. AS the troopers were driv-
ing away the ponies, 100 Utes, fully
armed, surrounded the cavalrymen
and ponies, stampeding the ponies
with revolver shots and war whoops.
The Indians recovered all their ponies
but five that were killed by the troop
ers in efforts to stop the stampede.
The Indians did not fire at the sol
diers. The soldiers desisted from a.
tacking the Utes, as the reds great
ly Outnumbered the troopers.
Indians Ready to Fight.
Troopers say that, as far as they
can ascertain from rumors and OBJ
servation, the Indians will fight with
little prOvocation.
Another detachment of the 10th
cavalry that left Sheridan Monday
night ran across a band of Toe Grow
Indians under Chief Sweetmouth. The
troopers drove the Crows back to the
Crow agency The Crows denied any
intention of joining the Utes.
Still another squad of the 10Th cav
airy fell in with band of Cheyennes,
who on the representation that they
were hunting, were allowed to go.
Treacherous Indian Guides.
Settlers charge that Indian guides
employed by the federal troops are
acting treacherously and leading the
troops on false trails to keep the sol
diers from overtaking the Utes.
Some troopers of the 10th cavalry
marched all Tuesday night to capture
a small band of Utes reported to be
encamped on Bitter Creek, but found
no Indians at the designated place.
Trainmen report 100 Sioux Indians
so miles northwest of Sheridan. The
Utes. it is said, make forced marches
northward by night, hiding from the
soldiers by day in the broken country
through which they are travelling.
