TROOPS SENT
TO GOLDFIELD
Striking Union Miners and Citizsos
Threaten Clash in Nevada.
ON GOVERNORS ORDER
President Roosevelt Acts By Ordering Cen
srsl Funston to Scene With Sufa-
cient Force Of Regulars.

President Roosevelt Thursday night
instructed General Funston to dispatch
a sufficient force Of regulars to Gold
fed Nevada, to control the situation
there. This action was taken upon
receipt Of telegraphic requests from
the governor Of Nevada. The troops
will proceed from San Francisco, and
the strength of the expedition is left
to the judgment of General Funston.
Goldfeld is about fourteen hours by
rail from San Francisco.
A special from Carson City, Nevada
says: Governor Sparks confrwed the
report that he has asked the federal
government for military aid to hold
the situation in hand, both for the
protection Of mines and property Of
the miners and mine owners Of the
camp.
Late Thursday afternoon he stated
that the troops would be sent in. This
will practically place the town Of
Goldfeld under martial law. The ac-
ton Of the Tonopah mine owners in
closing their mines has in a measure
complicated matters and it may be
necessary to send troops to that town
in conjunction with Goldfeld, the two
being only twenty miles apart. Cover.
nor Sparks states that his resolution
for asking for federal aid is to fully
protect both classes.
Goldfeld Wednesday night was un-
der arms. A conflict between the strik-
ing miners and the townspeople is be-
lieved imminent.
The mine owners reiterated their
determination not to resume opera
tons until the Western Federation
agitators have been driven out by the
law-abiding workers. The Federation
in its turn is preparing to make its
last stand in Goldfeld in the struggle
for existence.
The miners funds are exhausted.
Poverty and hunger have gripped the
men thrown out of work by the acton
of the miners union in calling the
strike and numerous burglaries and
hold-ups recently committed have ter
rorized many residents of the town.
Violence is momentaFily expected.
and the mine officials say they think
a battle is inevitable before federal
troops can reach the camp
Both sides are in a frenzy of rage,
and the slightest spark will fire the
magazine. The mems refusal to &C.
eept script for their wages during the
currency famine was taken advantage
Of to bring matters to a crisis.
A special from Denver, Col, saws:
When William D. Haywood, secretary.
treasurer of the Western Federation
OF Miners was informed that Governor
Sparks of Nevada had asked that fed.
eral troops be sent to GoldfeId, New
he said:
The miners at Goldfeld have been
fair with the mine owners and I cannot
conceive how troops would be neces.
sary unless capitalists have become
INSCRIPTIONS.
" / personally interviewed Governor
Sparks on the situation. Nevada has
no state troops, and therefore there is
no danger of a riot. Sparks seemed to
know this and my impression Of him
was that he would hesitate to permit
government troops to enter Nevada be-
cause their entrance might mean riot D

Scandal Life
Insurance Co.
A NEW LOCAL AGENCY

Lewis Johnson has been appoint
ed general agent for Kandiyohi
county for the Scandal Life Insur-
ance company Of Chicago. This
company was the one that absorbed
the old Galesburg Mutual assess
ment company. 1t is now organ
lied on a plan that offers absolute
security and Mr.. johnson feels that
he has something very good indeed
to offer in life insurance. The fol-
lowing is taken from the columns
of the Chicago Inter Ocean, one of
the most conservative and oldest of
the daily papers of Chicago. The
article from which these extracts
were made was headed 1.-The Com
pany Of the Future':
"This company was organized in
December, 1904, under the legal re-
serve law of Illinois, by depositing
with the insurance department of
that state the necessary guaranty
capital of 100000. 1t has a IL
cence to operate in eight states.
The company has no stockholders,
and, being mutual, it's policy hold
ers receive all the profits. 1t fol-
lows also that having no stockhold-
ers the policy holders elect the d.
rectors of the company, who have
control and management of its
affairs.''
"All forms of policies are issued
on both participating and non-par-
ticipating plan.
1.-The security of its policies is un-
questioned.
The economy of this company is
remarkable. The proposed legisla-
ton in several states limiting the
salaries Of life insurance officers to
$50, 1000 has no terror for Scandal
Life, because its highest paid Off
Ger receives but $1,000 per year.
$50 far as stability is concerned,
there can be but little difference
between the various legal reserve
life insurance companies, as all are
undoubtedly sound, but when it
comes to profits, there may be a
very material difference -

Reconsideration

[Original]
It was about 1880 that Alphonse Nor
mindin came to New Orleans from
Paris. He had fought sixteen duels
and had killed nine of his antagonists.
Friends or relatives Of his victims had
several times sought to take a life for
life, but they had all been wounded
or killed. The truth was that Normin-
din was so skilled in all weapons. so
especially fitted with eyes, delcacy Of
touch and nerve, that he was invinci-
bic.
One evening Normindin was sitting
with friends in cafe adjoining a hall
where masked ball was in progress.
A man dressed to represent Mephis-
topheles and wearing a mask entered,
walked straight up to the table where
Normindin was seated, took up glass
OF Wine standing on the table before
the duelist and threw it in his face.
Normindin paled. This was the first
time in his life that he had been thus
deliberately insulted. Wiping the wine
off his face, he half arose and asked:
"Who are you, sir?"
''The devil"
''Take off your mask"
THAT l will do when I have killed
you. You shall look upon my face as
you pass below to my kingdom"
Il do not fight with unknown ner-
sons"
"You shall do so now or l will kill
you where you sit.''
"And If I fight?"
II will kill you anyway"
Those sitting about noticed that Nor.
mindin was not his usual self. At.
tempting to look unconcerned, he put
his thumb and finger on the stem Of a
Wineglass and raised it to his Inns.
His hand trembled.
when and where can my seconds

"Now and here" Turning to two
gentlemen in evening dress who had
entered with him, he added, 'These
Will accommodate you.". Then he
went and sat down at a table in a
corner Of the room while the arrange
ments were being made Normindin
wished delay, but the stranger said
Now" Normindin, however, though
the challenger, was allowed the choice

Women and the Stores.

It Is fact that a dry goods store
Is a happy part Of woman's life.
Watch them come, each with a little
purpose in her heart or some fancy to
satisfy, or some dear anxiety to dispel,
like blossoms in gale, futtering here
and there, now at this counter and now
at that, picking up piece Of lace here
or a ribbon there or soft texture yon-
der and throwing out dainty ques-
ton everywhere as she goes on and on.
Isn't it vision? As the tides respond
to the moon, so does the dry goods
store to the woman. Either is the full
fillment of the other. One cannot think
of one and not the other. They began
