TRUST SUIT COMPROMISE.
Kansas MiIlers and Attorney General
 Jackson Reach Agreement.

Topeka, Kan, Mar. 2S--An injunc tion preventing millers from making any agreement in regard to the prices of flour, bran, chops or other products and the price which the millers will pay for grain probably will be entered in the district court at Wichita before the end of the week. When this is done the antitrust suit against nearly one hundred Kansas millers will be brought to an end. The suit was be- gun a year ago by Fred s. Jackson, at torney general, and John s. Dawson, his assistant.
 After year of litigation the millers finally agreed to the terms of the at torney general and a settlement has been arranged The millers will be enjoined from fixing prices, but they may still retain their organizations and work in them along the same lines as the bankers and grocers and other commercial organizations.
 The state gained everything it asked for in the antitrust proceedings, while the millers simply retain their organi- zations. This is not only a victory for the state, but is the termination of the antitrust suits started when Fred s. Jackson became attorney general.

MENA JAIL BROKEN
 DURING STORM
Charles Hope, Forger, and Claud Da- wis. Charged With Larceny, Assisted to Escape by Confederates
 Thunder Facilitated Move.

A bold and successful rescuing of two inmates of the county jail took place Friday night between 9:30 and 12 o'clock, and as result Charles Hope, who forged the names of A. w. St. Johns Sons, to check and was captured after trying to pass 1t, and Claud Davis charged with larceny, are at large. The prisoners were not missed until this morning and when it was discovered that they had fled an investigation was started at once by Sheriff Gun ningham. So far as can be learn ed some confederate or confeder- ates from the outside made an entrance through the window of the second story of the jail and with the aid of crow bar, six feet in length, broke open the cell doors where the prisoners were confined aud liberated them.
 The night was suspicious for the work. Heavy thunder and vivid streaks of lightning were allies of the bold conspirators. The crowbar was left in the cor ridor and the footprints left be- hind indicate that there were at least two if not more of the friends of the prisoners implica- ted in the delivery. There is a suspicion as to who aided in this bold delivery, but while nothing definitely is established, Sheriff Cunningham is taking active steps in experimenting the escaped prisoners as we'll as to learn the identity of their friends.
 Hope and Davis were being held to await the action of the grand jury.

MINERS 10 STRIKE
ALL THE COAL MINES IN SOUTH WEST DISTRICT TO CLOSE
 TUESDAY.
NEWS PROPOSITION $ TURNED DOWN
All the Mines In Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas Are Affected--A Convention of Miners Called for Kansas City On Monday 35,o00 Men Involved.

Kansas City, Mar. 2S.-A general strike of all the coal miners of Mis- souri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas will begin Wednesday Of next week. Not less than 15,000 and probably a great many more men will be Idle two months or longer because of the strike.
 The strike was ordered by Alexander Howat, president of the Kansas dis trict, George Colville for the Missouri district and John Mass, president for Arkansas, Oklahoma and that part or Texas which remains organized in union mines. The order followed im- mediately on the serving of letter by the Southwestern Coal Operators asso- citation on the several miners presi- dents. The contract between the op- orators and the unions will expire next Tuesday. The miners proposed that they continue to work on the old sche- dule while fixing new one. The op- orators answered they would not nego- tiate a new contract until all the min CTS involved would live up to the terms of the existing contracts.
 There are four mines of the Western Coal and Mining company at Deming and Coal Hill, Ark, one mine of the Bache & Denman company at Hunting ton, Ark. and one mine at Henrietta, where the men are out. the operators say, in violation of their agreements. These mines suspended without the usual notice to the operators. The operators said these men must go back to work before negotiations can be talk en up and the miners say they won't. Accordingly notice was given Thurs day night that the miners will clean up Tuesday and on Wednesday not un- lon mine in the district will be in op- eration except that men will be left to man the engines, and keep the pumps going so the mines won't fill with water
 George Colville, president of dis trict 25 of the United Mine Work srs' association, made this statement Thursday night:
 "The meeting Thursday was set by Bennett Brown. commissioner for the operators association, last February, after we notified him that we would then confer with the operators con cerning the contract for the coming year. At the meeting Friday the op- orators refused to renew the scale be- cause of local grievances and also re- fused to meet us again on March 31. when the present contract expires. If they had agreed to meet and formu- late new contract we would have ad- vised the miners of the three districts O continue working. But now we have notified the different miners secreta- ries to order the men to suspend work.
 We have called the interstate con vention to meet in Kansas City, March 30, when further plans will be decid- ed upon. Delegates from Missouri. Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Tex as will attend"
 Mir. Colville said that the suspension of work next Tuesday would affect about 35.000 men.

R0BBER KILLED WHILE AT WORK
His Head Blown Off While Attempting
 to Blow Safe.

Springdale, March 27.-In an attempt made by robbers at } o'clock yesterday morning to blow the safe in the bank at Spring town, small place eleven miles west of here in Benton county, the building ia which the bank was located was wrecked by an explosion of dynamite and one of the robbers was killed by having his head blown completely of his body.
 It is thought that the explosion occurred while the robbe were attempting to put in the charge, as the man who was killed seems to have been very close to the charge when it exploded. Though 1t is believed the dead robber was not working singly, no clue as to his companions has been found. From the clumsy way in which the explosives were handled it is thought the robbers may have been amateurs. The dead man has not been identified.

GAVE THEMSELVES UP.
Two Men Wanted by Government Go to
 Little Rock and Submit to Arrest.


 Deputy United States Marshal Wm. G. Akers has adopted new way of making arrests that saves money for Uncle Sam and is just as effective as the usual means. Last week he went to Fancy Hill, Montgomery county, to arrest John and William Cogburn on warrants for cutting timber from government lands. The two men, who are brothers, could neither of them be found, and Marshal Akers was told that they had left the town. He left word asking them, as soon as they came back to town, 10 consider themselves under arrest. Yesterday the men returned to their home at Fancy Hill. aud, hearing that Marshal Akers wanted them, they came to Little Rock and gave themselves up. They arrived here about 6 o'clock and were immediately arraigned before Commissioner Allen and bound over 10 the Grand Jury. They gave S250 bond each and returned to their home last night.-Arkansas Ga zette.

HOTEL MENA TO BE OPENED.
Has Been Greatly Improved and VIII
 Soon Be Ready for Business.

The Hotel Mena has undergone some very pleasing changes. Two large and elegantly constructed rooms on the north side or the hotel proper has been added, one to be used as parlor and the other as reception room.
 The owner, Fred Rausch, mas had two offers for the leasing of the property for hotel purposes but is holding the bids in obey ance as it is not improbable that he and Mrs. Rausch may open Il up themselves.
 The hotel building will pc newly painted and with the addi tion just about completed, there is no reason why the hotel should not become popular with the trayeling public.
