WORK OF
Persistent War on Butcher Interests OF

With the burning of the slaughter
house of Gus Keller, Of Deadwood.
just below the city, another chapter in
alGseries of what appears to be an
attack on the butcher interests of hat
city, has been written. 1t is a fact that
was realized some time ago and
brought home more wildly during the
past week, that some individual or
concern seems determined to cause this
fuin of all the butchers of that vicin-
lty.
Within the past year the slaughter
houses of Charles Sasse, George Ber-
nec and Gus Keller have been laid in
ruins by the hand of some firebug.
Three times this fall the house of
Sasse in Spruce gulch was set on frs
and owing to these attacks the insur-
ance companies declined to take the
risk a policy for it. The fourth at
came last week, four days after
sasse had transferred the property to

past the authorizes have been en-
gagged in trying to learn who the fire.

BATTLE FLAG At AUCTION.
Ancient American Naval PcnnaIt
Brings S4,25O i'm London. .


The flag of the American man Of
war Chesapeake and the "Balaklaya
bugle," two of the most valuable war
relics of a collection of antiquities that
belonged to the late r. G.. M~iddleprook,
of London, was secured Thursday at
the auction sale of the collection for
American buyers. The Chesapeake
flag was captured in the fight with the
British ship shannon in 1913, and
there was good bidding for the faded
and torn piece of bunting. the authen-
ITCHY of which is vouched for In a
written history of ownership since
Midshipman Grundy, of the royal ma
Wy, came int possession of the torn
trophy nearly a century ago. The flag
was sold for sA,250 to a London art
dealer, who also purchased the bugle
for $1,000. 1t was upon this instru-
ment that the order to the light bri-
gade to charge at the battle of Bala-
!, klava was sounded. The dealer ad-
mitted that these highly interesting
curiosl had been purchased by him 70:
different parties in aAmerica. but more
than this he would not say. There
was a rumor that he was acting for
Cornelius Vanderbilt, but this was sub
sequently denied, and London does not
yet know in whose hands the flag m
bugle have fallen.

sTIRs UP CONGRESS.
Presidents Message Causes Mighty
Demonstration.

THE message is the presidents an
swer to the whole tribe of critics who
have tried to break down his admin
istration by blaming him with the loss
es and business disasters of the panic.
He only states at length what the in
telligent citizens of the United States
believe, that our business troubles
came not from the exposure, but from
the long tension OF unlawful n evil
methods. He has the American people
with him"
This statement vas made Friday by
Senator Jonathan p. Dolliver, of Iowa,
apTopos of President Roosevelt's mes
sage. which is regarded by public men
irrespective Of party or their attitude
towards the president as one Of the
boldest and most audacious executive
documents ever presented for the con-
sideration OF the congress-.
1.-THE president, Senator D~olliver
added, threw the gauntlet down to
his enemies, to the men who have
charged that the enforcement of his
policies has resulted in widespread
business disaster, and he made it plain
thAS pip atlOh Will commune
to fight tooth and nail what on a pre-
vious occasion he referred to as bad
corporations"
The message deals with the recen
decision of she supreme court regard
ing the unconstitutionality of the am
ployers' liability act, the difficulty ex-
perienced by the department of justice
In enforcing interstate commerce and
antitrust laws, and asks for additional
legislation governing the relations be-
tween capital and labor and between
the great corporations and the public.
The president also asks for legislation
providing compensation for all en-
ployes injured while in the government
service
The president charges hat certain
wealthy men have banded together for
the purpose of overthrowing all who
honestly administer the law, and he
says that many of the assaults, whether
editorial or in speeches, were made
at command of the financial pirates.
THE very fact that these men have
spent such large sums of money indi-
Gates, according to the message, "the
terror which our public actions have
caused the corrupt men Of vast wealth
to feel in the very marrow Of their
bones"
