SOLDIERS KILLED REDSKINS.
Unruly Navajos Made Trouble in
Southern Utah.

Washington, d. C.-In a battle be-
tween United States troops and Indi-
ans in southern Utah several days ago
three Indians were killed and another
wounded. The news was conveyed to
the Indian bureau Thursday in tele-
gram from Superintendent Shelton, of
the San Juan agency.
The army command consisted of
four officers, "A men and three Indian
scouts. The telegram to the Indian
bureau, which was dated at Ship Rock,
\. NJ, follows:
The troops have returned from
southern Utah. They arrested Bylillie
and nine other Indians. Three others
were killed and one. wounded while
shooting at the Indian police and sol
diers. The Indians are quiet and l
don't anticipate further trouble"
The Indians taken into custody are
part of band of Navajos that have
been making trouble on the Navajo
reservation. For some time a number
of Indians under the leadership of By
lille have been creating disturbance.
Superintendent Shelton says that
Bylillie lives on the south side of the
San Juan river in Utah, about 40 miles
north of the San Juan agency, and the
Indian has for some time past been
making general opposition to the adop-
ton of the white mans methods, 60
ing so far as to threaten to kill the
agent and some of his assistants.
When some of the friendly Indians
visited Bylillie he refused to talk with
them, but challenged them to a fight.
The friendly Indians, who compose the
vast majority of the Navajos, regard
him as a wizard and one of them who
died a few months ago attributed his
illness to the witchcraft of the disaf
fected leader.

WEALTH CONCENTRATION EVIL.
Operation of Injurious Trusts Can Be
CurtaiIed by Efforts of the
Masses.

An evil that at present is receiving
more than ordinary attention in the
press is the concentration of vast
amounts of money in the hands of
corporations. The accumulation of
wealth by individuals when controlled
by natural law, will inevitably become
divided. The millionaire who has a
family at his death will apportion to
each member a share of his wealth.
Even though these divisions may be
increased by work and by speculation
and investment by the children, they
in return will divide the accumula-
tions among their offspring and even
tually, it matters not how great the
fortunes of any one of the family
may become, it is only matter OF
time until there is a scattering of tho
money, and great portion of it will
pass from the members of the family.
On the other hand, corporation meth
DDS mean the building of a system
that prevents the operation of the
natural law. In other words corpora
tions are machines that work con-
tinuously, and when one part is brok-
en- it is replaced by a new one. Thus
the accumulation goes on. The death
of Rockefeller will not result in a
discontinuance of the Standard Oil
company; the death of the present
stockholders of any of the large trust
companies, banks or insurance COM
panies will make little difference in
their existence. All will go ahead
The safeguards Of corporations in
many cases are excellent But the
inclination to control trade by the
crushing out of smaller concerns and
the destruction of legitimate compe-
tition and the controlling of prices,
seems against public policy. All
classes are compelled to pay prices
dictated by these trusts for the goods
produced. Each year finds new COM
binations to control trade 1t is the
Capitalization of capital that makes
such operations possible. The person
who assists in concentrating money in
large financial centers does his part
toward helping along such combines
1t is only by individual action on the
part of every small producer and lab
orer in the country that conditions
can be changed Stand by every home
industry and do your part toward
keeping money in circulation at home,
and thus bring about conditions that
Will make the operations of usts and
combinations impossible.

WELL KNOWN ACTOR MISSING
HE DISAPPEARS AFTER BEING IN
DiCTED FOR FELONIES.
His Friends Claim that He Has Been
Hounded by BlackmaiIers and May
Have Been Kidnapped.

New York City.-The disappear
ance of Raymond Hitchcock, following
his indictment by the grand jury
which had heard the stories of three
little girls, was the absorbing topic
Thursday on Broadway where those
who had known the star intimately
during his ten years on the stage adj
vanced half a dozen theories in eXpla-
nation of his default.
The actors closest friends, who
have energetically defended his name
since he became involved in trouble.
are divided in opinion. Many insisted
that, driven desperate by serious aC-
cusations, he had committed suicide.
Others We're satisfied that he had
been spirited away and possibly muir
dered by men who had practced
blackmail on the comedian and who
feared exposure if the case against
their victim came to trial
This theory was voiced by Herman
Fromme, the missing mans attorney,
and by Mrs. Hitchcock, who though
near collapse through worry, has con
tinued to play at the theatre where
both We're engaged, until Wednesday,
when Hitchcock failed to appear at
the matinee.
Mr.. Fromme said: Hitchcock did
not go away of his own accord. He
has been either kidnapped or murdered
by the band of blackmailers by whom
he has been annoyed, threatened and
bounded for two years.
Hitchcock's troubles have assumed
several phases. He first caused the
arrest of boy who, he alleged, had
attempted to blackmail him. Disclos-
ures in the case led to Hitchcocks ar
rest and he was arraigned Monday
The case went over until Thursday
and he was released on $4,000 bail
Meantime the grand jury returned six
indictments against the actor, some
of them charging criminal assault and
abduction. When the original case
was called yesterday and the defend
ant failed to appear his counsel asked
that the bond be continued for one
week. The district attorneys assist
ant made no objection and the magis-
trate set the hearing for next Wednes-
day.

RAILROAD TIED UP BY A STRIKE.
Freight Traffic on the Huntingdon &
Broad Top Road Is at StandstilI.

Huntingdon, Pa. - No relief has
yet been afforded in the tieup of
the freight transportation on the Hunt
ingdon & Broad Top railroad. The
brotherhood trainmen, including engi-
neers, firemen, conductors and brake
men, who went on strike nearly a
week ago for an increase in wages
equal to those paid by the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad Co., say they are determ-
ined to hold out until their demands
are acceded to. Daily meetings are
held both here and at Saxton, the loca-
ton of the company's big shops. All
the bituminous coal mines in the
Broad Top region are idle.
Support is being given by the coal
miners to the railroad strikers, the
former declaring that they will not
load a pound of coal unless the cars
are handled by organized labor A
number of non-union trainmen arrived
here Wednesday night from Philadel-
phia and are working freight trains oc-
casionally between stations on the
Huntington & Bound Top road only.
The brotherhood men assert that
they have the means to forestall the
railroad company from getting out
through freight until their demands
are granted The force of the state
constabulary is being augmented, al
though no violence has yet occurred

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Volume of New Business in Iron and
Steel Is Restricted by Mon
etary Strinaency.

New York City.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Contraction has followed the finan-
cial crisis of last week, but only to
the extent compelled by inability to
raise money. There is no evidence
that confidence has been permanently
impaired; on the contrary, gratifica-
ton is felt that the nation was so
strongly fortified by decade of un-
exampled prosperity that the severe
strain made no deeper impression
Many contemplated developments
have been postponed and merchants
find rates for commercial paper al
most prohibitive, yet retail trade is
sti nulated by more seasonable tenn
per iture. Collections improve with
the movement of the crops to market.
Conditions in the iron and steel in
dustry are not materially altered ex-
cept that new business is smaller.
Mills continue well occupied on old
contracts as a rule and as there have
been no cancellations it is probable
that no extensive reduction in activity
will take place this year. A fair ton
mage of rails is wanted for home roads
and export and shipyards are using
plates freely, yet the volume of new
business is restricted by financial
stringency. Coke output is at the
maximum and large contracts are re-
ported for future delivery.

A GREAT LABOR WAR BREWING.
English Railway Employees Vote in
Favor of a General Strike.

London, -NOtwith standing
the powerful influences that have been
at work for some time past in the
hope of averting trouble in the British
railroad world there seems to be but
little probability of preventing a strike
which will have the most serious con
sequences to the travelling public and
the men and companies involved, as
well as to commercial interests gener-
ally.
The action taken Friday by the eX-
ecutive committee of the Amalgamat-
ed Society of Railway Servants in
passing a resolution to call general
strike leaves little or no hope for a
favorable outcome. This society al
ways has been looked upon as one OF
the most conservative of the labor
unions and its leader, Richard Bell, NJ.
p, has been noted. for his efforts to
prevent strikes and for his utterances
in favor of the rights of capital, as
well as the rights of the workingman.
Consequently the resolution is not
taken lightly, and in view of these dec
larations and the determined stand
taken by the society since the griev-
ances of the men were first voiced, it
does not seem likely that the men will
withdraw from their present position.
While there is a long list of al
legged grievances, the principal one
has turned on recognition of the union
and this the railroad companies,
whose spokesman is Lord Claude
Hamilton, are determined not to con
cede. The general strike, however,
under the rules of the society and the
requirements of the law, cannot take
place for some weeks.
The railroads charge that the pres
ent agitation is due to the growth of
socialism.

AGAINST PREMIUM GRAFT.
Laws Passed by Some States Prohibit
ing Prizes in Packages of Foodstuffs.

Some classes of people when they
wish to purchase goods, look more aft
eer so-called bargains than quality, and
quite often the bargains prove expen-
sive. 1t seems that the getting of
something for nothing is attractive to
the average person. OF late years
there has grown up a practice among
manufacturers of staple articles, par
ticularly in the food line, of giving a
prize with each package of their goods
1t is apparent that there is an inclina-
tion towards gambling in the make,
up of most people, and this spirit is
appealed to largely by the giver of
prizes. The purchaser seems to over
hook the fact that he receives nothing
other than he pays for. Whatever ar
ticle is given as a premium represents
so much money value and certainly
the manufacturer does not lose by
the operation. The value of what is
given must be made up by either the
retailer or the consumer, and it is gen.
,erally the consumer who pays the
cost.
Ibetdll BlOCtlo, hS WSll do Ille pbO-
pie in general, have cause to be thank
full to the lawmakers of some states
for making it illegal to place premiums
dn packages of foodstuffs. Such law
Is now in force in the state of Nebras.
ka. Premium and prize giving has
been a cause of trouble and disturb
ance, and has resulted in the making
of inferior goods, palming off their
poor productions, relying more upon
the prize given to secure trade than
fhe merit of goods. The wise house
wife In whatever state she may live
will be careful to discriminate between
quality, and quality backed up by
prizes. 1t is well when you buy arti
cles in the food line to avoid buying
anything which has a prize attach
ment. You are compelled to not alone
pay for the goods that you require, but
the prize as well.

Support Home Newspapers.

The country newspaper is a power
in the land. Its place can never be
filled by the big daily papers or the
bulky magazines or agricultural jour
nails. 1t fills a field entirely it's own.
1t is the barometer of the place in
which it is published. It's news pages
represent the life of the people, and
its advertising pages should reflect
the business activity of the town. 1t
is the duty OF every good citizen to
give his support to the local press.
Particularly the business men should
patronize it with view of bettering
his trade. 1t is not money wasted to
use advertising space in it. One good
merchant In the town who under
stands how to advertise rightly, can
bring trade to the town that will help
every other business man in it. But
all should do their part, and the store
keeper who does not give his home
paper the support it merits is not the
Wisest kind of business man.

SCIENCE OF TOWN KILLING.
UnWise Booming and Maintaining Ex-
orbtant Prices an Effective Way.

There Is a county seat town in one
OF the central western states that has
a population of about 5000 1t is sur
rounded by one of the richest farming
countries. For years this town has
been at a standstill. If anything it
is retrograding, and even farm values
near it are lowering, while poorer land
some 20 miles away is advancing.
Why should such a condition exist?
The answer is plain. A dozen years
ago there was boom. With the boom
real estate went to the top notch.
Keeping pace with the boom the
prices of products in that town went
up. There was a collapse in real es-
tate values, but the merchants re-
manned, and kept up the high-price
habit. That is they wanted more than
an equitable share of profit. Another
town was started 20 miles away. Some
of the farmers went there 1t was
found that the merchants were selling
goods at lower price. The stock
buyer and the grainbuyer paid a few
cents hundred more for their pur-
chases The habit Of trading at the
new town grew. The business men OF
the old town couldn't learn a lesson.
Before they knew it their customers
were leaving them. So it has been
since then. The merchants have been
ploddng along. The money that
should be retained in the town went
elsewhere. Much of 1t went to build
up the competing town.
Mistakes like this one are made
frequently. Towns become dead
places instead of live ones. In fact,
some towns are so dead that the farm
ers who withdrew their trade from
them are suffering in decreased farm
values. They take no interest in
these places, other than to visit them
now and then. Unhealthy booms, un-
healthy prices made by the merchants,
and which are foolishly maintained,
are quite certain to kill town even
though it may be county seat and
have some advantages nearby towns
may not have.

origin Two companies of firemen
were caught in the collapse of the roof

in a hallway. Half an hour later a po-
lice messenger found a blazing win
dow brush in the store room. He had
just reached the commissioners room
with the smouldering brush when
there was cry of fire from the street
and flames were found shooting over
the main entrance and from the win
dows of the fourth floor.
The prisoners We're handcuffed to-
gether and marched to the Jail. The

MERGE TWO DIVISIONS.
Southern Pacific May Change
Conditions on Houston Route.
Times-DemOcrat, July p.

Times-DemOcrat, July Y.
That the Southern Pacific will
soon abandon it's present ar:
rangement of two divisions be-
tween New Orleans and Houston.
and combine them in one division,
was a report which gained some
credence yesterday, although
neither affirmation nor denial OF
the rumor could be obtained
from Col. E. B. Gushing, gen
eral superintendent of the South
ern Pacific Morgan lines.
According to the report IN
question. the division points IN
Lafayette and Echo r to be
abandoned and merged into one
point. to be located at Lake
Charles. this being the only city
of any size on the Louisiana
Western division. In support OF
the report the point is made that
such an arrangement would ma
terially decrease the operating
expenses of the road and would
obviate the expense of maintain
ing one of the divisions points.
Color is lent to the report by
recent visits of Southern Pacific
officials to Lake Charles. where
they have carefully looked over
property in the vicinity OF the
company's holdings, presumably
with the view of adding thereto.
By this plan, also, the gap OF
fifteen miles between Lake Ar
thur and Gueydan would be
closed, reducing the distance to
New Orleans by almost twenty
miles, by way of Abbeville and
New iberia.
