ABOUT "NIeHr RIDERS"
Reason Why They Raid Tobacco
Farms In the South.

Farms In the South.
Press dispatches almost daily tell
of another night rider" raid in Ken
lucky. With change of date and loca.
ton, one dispatch will serve for each
account. A band of men ride into
town, burn tobacco warehouse, hurt
somebody that amounts to an interior
ence maybe-and ride out again.
Today the Kentuckians are fighting
not only for the right to reasonable
returns for labor and capital, but for
the very right to exist. Their enemy
is the most relentless and most com
plete monopoly with which this coun
try is cursed-the tobacco trust.
Having absorbed all American and
perfected working agreements with
foreign purchasers of raw tobacco, the
trust laid its heavy hand on the pro
Queer. In 1898, with a greater retail
demand than ever before, the price
paid the growers began to fall From
that time their income was steadily
forced down from IL cents to cents
pound in a few years-this in a
period when labor and living expenses
were on constantly ascending scales.
The trust finally announced that the
growers must sell the 1906 crop for
b IL cents or go out of business.
Many of them chose the latter, as
either proposition meant the same
thing. The growers finally organized,
agreed to sell no more tobacco at less
than Is cents per pound and to per-
init no other tobacco to be supplied
the trust at less than a living rate, if
they could help it.
That is why might riders" are burn
ing tobacco sold to trusts and whip
ping growers who attempt to fur
nish it.
The governor of Kentucky, former
attorney for the tobocco trust, stands
ready with a veto for remedial legis-
lation that is the basis of a desperate
struggle in the legislature.
The might riders" are recruited in
the heart of the blue grass region.
They are neither ignorant nor law
less. They are fighting as free men
will ever fight with the only effective
means at hand against injustice and
crime their country's legal machinery
will not reach.
And the best feature of their fight
is that they are bringing the trust to
terms after holding their crops and
starving along for three bitter, dis
couraged years.

DUKE is FOUND DEAD.
American Helress, Theodore shonts,
PrematureIy Widowed.

Paris.-In the presence of his bride
OF less than three months, Emmanuel
Theodore Bernard Marie d'Albert de
Luynes daily, ninth duke of
Chaulnes and of Piquiny and marquis
of Dangeau, died suddenly from heart
failure recently in his apartments in
the Hotel Langham, in the Rue Boo,
zadero. The physicians summoned to
attend the duke in his sudden seizure
of the malady officially gave the cause
of death as embolism of the heart.
The due de Chaulnes and the Ouch
ess, who was Miss Theodore Shonts,
youngest daughter of Theodore p.
Shonts of New York, were married
in New York February 16 of this year.
The wedding was brilliant social
function, and the end of the brief
honeymoon was sudden and tragic.
Since the arrival of the couple here
a month ago, they have lived compare
lively quietly at the Hotel Lanham,
taking an occasional automobile ride
in the afternoon and in the evening
dining with intimate friends, or going
to the theater.
The duke for years has suffered
from weak heart and for some time
had been the subject of fainting spells.
Several times since his arrival here
he consulted Dr. Henri Iscovesco in an
effort to obtain relief from his all
ment.
Despite all positive denials by rela-
tives and friends of the family, the
rumor continues to be persistently cir
culated here that the death of the
Due de Chaulnes was due to an over
dose of morphine, and not to heart
disease.

MINES AND MINING.

p T. Rowe, bishop of the Episco-
palian church for the territory of Alas
ka, who arrived in Seattle Sunday
from the north on the Yukon, brings
the first detailed authentic information
regarding the big gold strike on Nolan
creek, at the head of the Koyukuk
river Bishop Rowe was in the Nolan
camp when the strike was made and
washed out $500 pans on the Olsen
claim with his own hands and saw
pans washed out that ran as high as
| $500. Nolan creek is only about 200
miles from the Arctic ocean, and there
were only 125 men in the camp when
Bishop Rowe left for the outside. The
strike was made at depth of about
$50 feet, and about $64 1000 had been
washed out by crude operations. 1t is
estimated that the cleanup at the end
of this summer will reach 81 900, 900.

The sundry civil appropriation bill

statement of the bill was authorized
by Chairman Tawney:
The estimates s;-5mitted by the diff.
ferent departments of the government
for sundry civil expenditures for the
next fiscal year far exceed the esti-
mates for like expenditures in any pre-
Vlous year in our history, aggregating
1884, 1866. These estimates were
prepared for submission to congress
last September, when the revenues of
the government were far in excess of
current expenditures Before congress
convened the financial stringency
came on, resulting in a material fall
ing off in the government revenues.
This necessitated a thorough examin-
alton of the estimates with a view
of ascertaining the amounts actually
required to continue the service usu-
ally provided for in the sundry civil
bill. and also to continue the public
works previously authorized until the
