BEAR ON GUARD
Looking For Its Cubs She Tied Up a Great Railroad For
 Several Hours.

Ogden, Utah, June IT. A mother bear in quest of her young yesterday tied up the Kemmerer division of the Union Pacific railroad system. Inci- dentally she kept two operators at Bryan, Wyoming, prisoners in their sleeping apartments for hours. while angry train men swore al having to stop at a place where stops were not scheduled.
 A newly arrived telegrapher fool ishly invested in two cubs-the off- spring of the mother who for days has hunted high and low for her offspring. As last hope she peeped into the bunk house of the operators, where fortunately they had seen her coming, and hastily proceeded to par the door which led into the station. Mother bear growled a little, but seemed con tent to wait, evidently not thinking that a railroad might need the as- sistance of the operators in pushing the trans-continental trains through.
 A freight train crew, not seeing tue semaphore in place, started to inves. tigate. They found the operators wait ing to be rescued. With the assist ance of 300 Greeks who were in the work cars up the road a short dis tance, the mother bear was driven of after having disarranged the schedule of MT .Harriman's railroad for hun dreds of miles east and west.

PITY FOR ORCHARD
Widow of Man He Murdered Hopes He Will Be Allowed
 to lead an Honest Life.

Seattle. Wash, June TIA dispatch from Walla Walla says:
 Harry Orchard has done many wrongs, but I hope that he has re- pented, now that he understands their magnitude, and that he will be given, a chance to lead a good, true and honest life after the present or deal has passed.
 This is the statement of Mrs Frank Eteunenberg, who is attending the annual camp meeting and conference of the Seventh Day Adventists at College Point. She seems to be above hatred of the man who killed her hus- band. As to Mover, Haywood and Pettibone, she expressed no opinion, vaying she had not thought of their connection with the case. She IS leading a secluded life, spending most of her time reading the bible and other religious works.
 She said yesterday.
 "The trial of Mover, Haywood and Pettibone is the commencement Of national struggle between the United States government and organized la Dor and will eventually lead to re- bellion.
 "When the Couer d'Alene trouble arose, MT Steunenberg was greatly worried and one evening. after he had made his final stand he told me ne thought it would cost him his fife.

TWO EXPLOSIONS
Magazines in American Powder Mill Went Up This Morning
 al Maynard, Mass
NO LIVES WERE LOST

j.. <. .g .a l.
 Maynard, Mass, June 7.-The ex- plosion of 200 pounds of blasting powder in magazine at the plant of the American Powder Go here early to-day, caused a second explos- ion in another magazine, and later fire which threatened the twenty small mills which compose the plant. Owing to the nature of the goods stored on the premises the firemen for a time dared not work near the buildings and the flames gained con- siderable headway, but after two hours fighting the blaze was put under control The loss is estimated at $3,000.
 The flames caused by the eXplos- ion soon communicated to the near by buildings and many small ex- plosions were heard at intervals during the time the firemen were at work. The force of the concussion was heard for miles around, glass being shattered and houses shaken violently within a radius of half a mile. There are no dwelling houses in the immediate vicinity of the plant. The cause of the explosion is not known, and it is not believed that any loss of life resulted.

Kansas City, Mr.. June 7.-James H. Peabody, former governor or Colorado, who is here on business, said last night in all interview that he had since the Haywood trial i'll Boise began, received several anony- nous letters threatening his life. He said he had paid no attention to the letters, because they evidently did not come from responsible sources.
 Tt would be very injudiclous oil my part to make a statement about this man Orchards testimony or about the Haywood case," continued Mir Peabody. ''I'ye been subpocnaed as a witness and I'm only waiting a telegram ealing me to Boise to testify. I wish I might state just what my tes- timony will be but I don't want to do anything that could be construed in the light of trying to create any prejudice in the Haywood case"

DEAD IN THAMES
Two Americans Drowned Yes terday Afternoon While Boating Near CIiveden
BODIES RECOVERED

London, June 1.-Two Americans, c. Otto Elterich, who resided at Free port, L. l., and whose place of busi- ness was at 42 Broadway, New York, and Mrs E M Mclean of New York, were drowned in the Thames near Cliveden yesterday afternoon while boating. Their bodies were taken to an inn and remained there unidentified over night. Although they were recog- nized to be Americans, neither of them had means of identification at the time, but they were traced to-day through a shoemakers receipt for mending, found on MT Elterich's body. The shoemaker remembered having delivered pair of shoes which he had repaired to certain room at the Im- perial hotel here, where Mir Elterich stopped. Mrs Mclean, 1t was further ascertained, had been staying with q Miss Memory, supposed 10 be her sis- ter, at the Russell hotel. Miss Mem- ory sat up over night awaiting Mrs McLean's return, not knowing where she had gone. It appears that Mir Elterich and Mrs Mclean took train for Madenhead yesterday afternoon and engaged boat for a row on the Thames. A boatman overheard MT El- terich call his companion "Molly" and 1t was noticed that the former was not a skilled oarsman. He mn his boat against the roots of tree and shouted to his companion:
 Jump! The boat is filling with water"
 They both jumped into the riyer and sank in ten feet of water. The body of Mrs Mclean was soon re- covered, but that of Mir Elterich was swept away and was not found until late in the afternoon. Among his ef- fects at the Hotel Imperial were papers marked Deliver to Henry Guinard in the event of my death." Mrs Mclean is believed to he widow. The bodies are awaiting claimants.

The former case was all day before the fury. and the divorce suit came up on two motions. one by the wife for an allowance from her husband to defcnd the suit, and one for alimony pend ing the trial of the case. In these matters Judge Gager did not care to take action until the non.support case will have been disposed of. In that case winslow's defense is that he is unable to support his wife, as he earns not more than S9 a week, and also that her marriage to him was fraudu- lent on the grounds that she was n morphine fiend and a paralytic at the time they were married.

WHEAT SPECULATION.
The Price for Cereals Are Higher
 Here Than Abroad.

Washington, June 7.-There is one feature of the abnormal rise In the price of wheat that it will be we'll for farmers in marketing the remnant Of the last years crop to bear in mind. The European market price is now below the price here, when the freight and expense of shipping is taken into consideration. That should result in checking exports of both wheat and flour and if the weather conditions continue to improve in the extreme northern states and Canada, it would seem probable that the price of wheat in the United States must come down to the shipping basis There is more than the usual propor- tion of spring wheat left over in the hands of the farmers on account of conditions prevailing last fall which prevented marketing, and most or this wheat will no doubt be sold as soon as the spring work Is done If the incentive of the present high price continues.
 The speculative boom in wheat will quite likely carry the price beyond what buyers of the actual wheat, the millers and exporters, may feel 1t safe to pay, but in the end the price on the exchanges must conform to the general markets of the world. There is, of course, the exception to this general rule of supply and demand, which Is, that in case there Is so great a shortage In the crop here, so tat there will be no surplus to sell abroad, the prices here, through speculation, may be much above the price in the foreign markets.
 No one at the present time can tell what the future wheat crop will pro- duce, for 1t depends upon the weather and the ravages of insects that can not be foretold. We do know. how ever,, that the acreage of winter wheat has been somewhat reduced and in the spring wheat belt the re- duced acreage is estimated at fifteen per cent. The condition of the, grow ing crop is unsatisfactory in some of the states, with green bug" ravages reported in several sections. Condi- tions in Europe are also somewhat similar to those here as far as a cold and backward spring can make them Wheat, however, until it reaches the "jointed" stage is helped rather then hurt by cold weather, for 1t generally stools better and this results In q greater yield.
 There is also a political bearing connected with this wheat boom that republican farmers should bear in mind. Neither good or bad crops nor high or low prices for them, are brought about by republican or demo cratic policies though the high price for trust productions which the farm. CTS have to pay. has been made pos. sible through the tarif protection the trusts enjoy by reason of republican legislation.

WAYS OF SAVING WASTE.
Skimming River for a Living-Fish
 ermen Who Net Corks.

Skimming a river for a living may be said to be one of the most strik- ing examples of the utilization of waste. This is done in Paris. There is one individual, at least, in the French capital who makes 1t his daily business to skim the Seine. He is out at early morning in an old flat bottomed boat, armed with skim ming pan. With this he skins off the surface of the river the grease which collects there during the night, and which he disposes of to soap fac tory. Generally he makes quarter or so by his mornings work, which enables him to live.
 In Paris also there are a number of people who make a living out of waste corks, which they fish from the Seine. They collect on the river bank at daybreak, each with short pole, at the end of which is a small i'm provised net. They set to work to gather in the floating corks, subse- quently selling them to the cork mer- chants in the neighborhood.
 There are about a score or so of these cork fishermen, who have form- ed themselves into sort of craft and who guard their interests jealously. If they catch sight of a stranger net ting corks they fall on him in body. Only recently the police rescued one of these novices barely in time to save his life.
 The sweepings of floor might well be considered as so much waste; yet, through fire in London the other day which consumed a quantity Of sweepings stored in the basement. certain firm lost several thousand dollars. The heap of dust and rub bish contained silver filings, which it was intended to extract later on.
 This Is done regularly as ,ll works where silver or gold is used. In gold refiners' premices even the soot iE tbc Ch,mneys is not allowed to be treat ed as waste. It is found to contain minute particles of the precious metal which are far too valuable to be lost
 In places where sheep are bred ex- tensively one freequently sees little bits of wool adherring to briers and hedges. These are no longer re. garded as waste. From such wool rubbish. whether coming from sheep or goats, valuable oil Is now extract. ed.

WHITE POODLE THE CAUSE.
Two Women Got Into Trouble oA
 Union Street.

Miss Rose Lantazio and Mrs Affredl Keane were arrested this afternoon by Officer John Donahue and are chargeI1 with breach of the peace. The tro'lblei was caused by little white poodles owned by Rosie which Mrs Keanel found this morning and carried home. Rosie" heard that her poodle had been kidnapped, so she went to the police station. She was directed to the office of the prosecuting attorney, but was informed that he would not be in his office until ? o'clock.
 Miss Lantzio was so impatient she could not wait. She went to Mrs Keane's home on Union street where something happened. When Officer Donahue arrived on the scene Mrs Keane had a discolored optic and her apron was covered with blood, while Rosie's waist was almost In shreds. Both women insisted in having the other arrested, so both were accom- modated.
