numbering. All hands rushed for the
doors with Murphy in close pursuit,
brandishing the razor-edged knife,
about ten inches in length, which he
used in his butcher work He struck
down DR.. Hayes, killed two men and
then pursued the crowd of yelling
workmen downstairs, slashing VIC
iously as he overlook first one and
then another. Three more men fell

NEW EMPIRES FOR PIONEERS.
Millions Of Acres Of Indian Lands to Be Thrown Oper For
Settlement OTTER Homes and Wealth--Incude Rich
Farming. Timber and Mineral Tracts in
Idaho Montana and Washington.

Washington, D. c.. - Millions of
acres of fertile Western lands will be
made available by President Taft for
homeseekers during the next nine
months if he follows the policy which
has been laid down by the Depart
ment of the Interior. The settler
may make his selection in any one of
the three States of Idaho, Montana
and Washington.
1t is proposed to throw open g.
872,600 acres, comprising part of
five different allotments to Indians.
They include farming, timber and
mineral lands, sufficient not only to
provide homes but wealth to the sue
cessful applicants.
The sections under consideration
include 100000 acres at Occur
d'Alene, Idaho; $4,000 acres at Lem
hi, Idaho: 100000 acres near Flat
head, Mont; 153,600 acres near Spo-
kane, Wash, and 1,145, 900 acres in
the vicinity of Yakima, Wash.
Long ago it was decided that the
Indian reservation must go, the In
dian be absorbed into the civilization
of the American continent and the
districts set aside for him made avail
able for homes for sturdy Americans.
1t has been decided that the present
year is the time to do this.
The readiness of the people of the
United States to gamble has led the
Government to surround it's land
openings with restrictions. Even
with these the proportion of those
who applied for lands at last years

was fifty-seven to one. There were
114,769 in the first class, and it is
estimated that only about 1000 were
rewarded with good farms. 1t cost

openings took place, which is one of
the requirements.
Almost all the applicants for the
new lands come from east of the
States in which the new lands are To-
Gated, but very few leave the Atlantic
slope to try their fortunes in the
West. Twenty States furnished the
greater part of the applicants last
year. Nebraska headed the list with
37,26S applicants. This is accounted
for at the Land once by the fact that
the settlers in Nebraska were pio-
neers, and while they have been sue
cessful they have in many cases in
sufficient wealth to establish their
sons in the high priced lands of that
State. This is true. perhaps in less

Lands were offered last year in the
town of Gregory, S. D., at not less
than 81 an acre, after having been
subject to entry at the rate of $3.50

were suitable for grazing, but in
many cases could be made to yield
good crops. There is the word of the
Government for the statement that
lands in that locality entered four
years before have not only produced
good crops, but we're selling at the
time the opening was advertised at
$40 to $50 an acre.

turned to New York City After
Receiving IS Day and $3.50
Extra If Injured.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The strike OF
the employees Of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company ended in a
victory for the strikers.
The employees voted to accept the
proposition of the company. In the
extreme northern and eastern sec
lions of the city, the hotbeds of the
rioting, the vote was almost unanimous
against it. Fourteen barns voted to
accept the terms offered by the COM
pany and four against The total
vote was 1856 for to 619 against.
Rioting had been renewed during
the day. but with a single exception
the disorders were sporadic To safe
guard against renewal Of turbulence
all street car traffic was suspended
at o'clock and the saloons were
closed at 6gp. m.
The terms of the agreement are as
follows:
Strikers to be reinstated in their
former positions. Wages to be in
creased to twenty-five cents an hour
before July /.
Committees of employees to be rec
ognized by the traction company in
presenting grievances and other mat
ters.
Hours of employment to be adj
justed to ten hours and the swings to
be adjusted to that time as near as
possible.
Arrangements to be made by which
standard uniform may be purchased
from any one of not less than hve
reputable clothing firms.
The terms meet the entire demands
made by the men except that they
asked for twenty-five cents an hour.
The present wage schedule is twenty
one cents an hour.
C. o. Pratt, who conducted the
strike, was not permitted by the
Rapid Transit officials to take active
part in the final negotiations Tor
peace.
Ii later it can be shown the COM
pany is able to pay twenty-five cents
an hour, it will be demanded.
The conference was attended by
practically every member of the board

pany. Mayor Reyburn and Senator
McNichol were present
Nearly 500 strike-breakers were
marched from the Bridge street barn
! to the depot to return to New York

The most serious disturbance OF
the day came when 5000 strike sym
pathizers assembled at Front and
Master streets, where they drove
crew from trolley, threw oil on it
and set it on fire. Firemen turned
the hose on the mob, which fought
back, and an emergency call was sent
for the reserves, who charged and
dispersed it. Sergeant Bloomer was
seriously injured by a stone.
The present strike has been the
most complete tie-up ever experienced
| by local trolley companies, and the
temper of the people was more violent
than in the strike of 1895.

Seattle, wash. j. Hill, chair
man of the Great Northern Board of
Directors, discussing the recent wheat
corner, said:
ut is a mistake to say James A.
Patten cornered the wheat market.
1t is merely a case of man taking
advantage of an opportunity. 1t has
oeen but few years since it was es-
timated that the average consumption
Of wheat per annum in this country
was six bushels, but now the experts
argue that it is seven bushels. The
census of 1910 will show that we
have a population of 90.000,000,
which will mean that we will require
for our own use 30,000,000 bushels
hereafter.

Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with rash After he suffered with the
trouble several weeks l took him to the
doctor, but it got worse. Tie rash ran to-

fellow didn't want to do anything but

to keep him from tearing the flesh open

intense. The skin on his back became hard

Heretofore the Naval Academy reg
