THE OUTCOME OF THE
Strike UNCERTAIN.
Business in Liverpool Bordering on
Panic--Fears of a Renewal of
Trouble.

Liverpool, Aug. 24-With business
interests bordering On panic over the
threat of a renewed general strike
throughout England unless settle
ment was reached today with the strik-
ing tramway employees, G. R. AsqWita
the government mediator, held con-
ference with the Lord Mayor and the
heads OF the tramway companies.
1t is believed the government is IN
clinod to insist upon the reinstatement
of the 25O strikers. The companies
answer that their 100 employees who
remained loyal have threatened to walk
out if the strikers are taken back. Tom
Mann, the Liverpool labor leader, de-
clares a settlement must be reached
today or general walk-out #ill be de-
clared.
A mob Of 3, 900, mostly boys, attack
| ed street cars in the north end OF the
city today. They broke windows, beat
up the crews, and we're tearing up the
rails when a force OF military which
had been rushed to the city to disperse
them arrived.
London. Aug. 24.-DeclaIing that
the aDti-semitic riots in Wales are COM
parable to the massacre at Klshlneft
and the prosecutions of the Middle
Ages, the Jewish press today vigorously
demands that the government firmly
suppress the lawlessness and furnish
ample protection 10 the Jews.
Riotiug was renewed during the
night at Ebhw Vale and other villages
where the miners have declared their
inteu ton Of driving the Jews out, and
despite the troops which reinforced the
police, ten shops owned by Jews we're
looted before the mobs were dispersed.
Today there is general exodus Of
Jews. Demands for reparation Of
damage done by the rioters have al
ready been made. The government
contends that the attacks are not the
result Of racial feeling but we're merely
caused by hooliganism brought abont
by labor unrest. The government IS
expected to adopt severe measures.

PINE RIDGE CAMPAIGN.
Story of Famous Indian Battle to be
Reproduced at Base Ball Park
Tonight.

The reproduction of the Pine Ridge
Campaign at the ball park tonight by
the Alexandria Light Infantry and the
Osceola Tribe OF RedMen, in connection
with Lilly's band, promises to be an
interesting event The following is a
brief story Of this interesting cam
paign:
The uprising of the Sioux Indians in
1892, at the Pine Ridge Agency in
Nebraska, was the last great struggle
of that famous tribe of Indians for re-
venge for fancied grievances against
the whites. Their cunning old chief,
Rain-in-the-Face, instituted the ghost
dance as means of working up war
enthusiasm among the young war
riors.
The influence of such chiefs az Big
foot, Tow Bulls and the crafty Rain-in
the-face was eNerted towards a gen.
eral out6read among the warriors Of
the whole Sioux nation.
The government, seeing the danger
attendant upon such manifestations,
decided to adopt precautions against
the proposed out. break by hurriedly
sending troops to the scene with orders
to disarm every Indian found on the
reservation. The gallant seventh cav
airy, Custer's old regiment, that lost
800 of its members at the Little
Big Horn in 1876, was selected for
this duty. When it had sur
rounded the Indians and the soldiers
wers among them searching FOR arms,
the Indiana sat preconcerted signal
opened fire and fought their way
through the line of troops with that
utter disregard for danger which char
acterizes the American Indian. The
gallant Wallace was among the first
to fall For a time pandemonium
reigned and it was hard fight, for
the unlocking troops dared not fire
for fear of killing their own men who
were struggling with the Indians.
But finally the forces separated and
the Indians fed for the hills, but the
mountain guns brought them down like
sheep, and its reaching shot drove
them from ravine and hollow, until
they we're forced to take safety in open
flight. Troops were hurried to the
front, preparations were made for a
caru paisn and General Miles was sent
to the agency to command the troops
operating against the red skins.
Hundreds of lives were lost, among
those killed being Lieutenant Casey,
the famous commander of the Indian
scouts. Only for the prompt measures
adopted by the, government there
would have resulted one on the long,
est and bloodiest Indlan campaigns
in the history of the country.

THE NIGHT MARY GARDEN BE-
CAME FAMOUS

In the August Woman's Home Com
panion is the second article in a series
on the girlhood of great prima donnas.
The current article is on Mary Gar
den, the great singer, who was born
in Scotland, brought up in Chicago,
and, only few short years ago, came
into fame. Following is an account of
he debut in Paris:
GA sudden, unforeseen opportunity

self-relianee she took it without qualm
or hesitancy.
"The prima donna singing Louise at
the Opera Comique fell i'll during the

the second, was carried away to hos

great risk, which, had she hesitated,
she might not have taken.
"The stage she had never trodden; (;
the complicated action with other
characters, singing with the massive
tone of an orchestra, were things un-
known to her; she knew only Louise 8
music.
"From the moment in which she
said, Il will try until the curtain
rose. there was not time for any
thought but of the actual moment.
She was dressed and on the stage; the
curtain was up, the orchestra playing.
She did not notice the surprised buzz
OF voices as she began to sing; she
was not nervous, there was room for
only one tASdght, she must be Louise,
to do that she could not longer be

absorbed; it was not a dream, but a

Land AND IRRI.
CATION CONGRESS

The entire west will be advertised
during the United States Land and
Irrigation congress to be held at Chi
cago from November Is to December
9 of this year. The Southern Pacific
company aud other Hartman lines
have engaged the whole of the Coli
scum Annex for purposes of exhibition
and every town, county, Or state tap
ped by these lines will be given the
opportunity to show what advantages
it may have TO offer to the prospective
homeseeker
To further this purpose, the space
secured by the Southern Pacific and
other allied lines will be divided into
lecture halls with movng picture fa-
cilities, and towns and other centers
that care to participate in the ex-
hibits will be invited to send moving
picture films and lectures to depict to
the public the opportunities for homes
offered in the various districts. Photo
graphs taken along the lines of the
Southern Pacific depicting the most
interesting phases of home, farm and
industrial life. will also be shown. The
Land and Irrigation congress has
planned to occupy the entire Coliseum
at Chicago, but as the space allotted
to the several exhibits was thought not
sufficient for that planned by the
Southern Pacific for its western pat
rons, that company has concluded to
secure the Annex for the western ex-
hibits.
At the last Chicago Land show in
1910, the Hartman lines occupied the
same space as is proposed to be used
this year, and it was computed that
fully 77o00 people attended the lec-
lures. On the first colonist excursion
following the last land show, accord
ing to figures compiled and issued by
the passenger officials of the western
lines, the Southern Pacific and Union
Pacific companies carried approximate
ly $4,000 colonists into their territory,
breaking all previous records for
colonist travel on these lines.

ALFALFA LAND TO BE
ASSESSED AT SIS PER ACRE

County Assessor H. w. Leonard ar
rived in Lovelock on his annual trip
through the county assessing the var
ious property owners.
Assessor Leonard will be busy all
this week assessing the property own
ers in the southern end Of the county.
He has established an Office in town
and requests that all property owners
meet him before his departure about
next Sunday.
In Lovelock alfalfa land has been
raised from SIS and acre to $25 an
acre, and grain land has been raised
to $50. Alfalfa land is worth on an
average $75 an acre and the assessor
takes the stand that an assessment OF
$25 an acre is reasonable. Valuations
all along the line have been raised
with the result that the assessment
roll this year will show an increase OF
about a million and half dollars.
OF this increase the railroad company
must stand nearly million, the In
crease on the transportation property
being 100000, and the increase ON
railroad lands amounting to nearly q
quarter of a million more. This last
increase will be due to the law passed
at the last session Of the legislature
requiring that no contract land in the
state shall be assessed at less than
$1.25 an acre. In Humboldt county the
increase in the assessment roll win not
be as great as in some other counties
for the reason that here for a num-
ber of years contract land has been as
sessed at 81 an acre whereas in most
of the other counties il has been very
much less.-Lovelock Tribune.

Creating
new Commission

The creation Of a federal industrial
commission, invested with the power
to supervise the corporations Of the
country, was advocated by Attorney
General Wickersham Wednesday
nigh at Duluth in his speech before the
Minnesota State Bar association. His
subject was What Further Re1ula-
tions of Interstate Commerce + Neces-
sary or Desirableso
Mr.. Wickersham, after reviewing the
trust problem at length, together
with the attempts made to solve il by
means of the Sherman law and the
interstate commerce commission. said:
"That some further regulation over
corporations carrying on commerce
among the states is necessary Is com
ing to be generally recognized. It has
been openly advocated quite recently
by representatives Of some Of the
largest combinations Of capital, prob
ably as means Of salvation and to
preserve under government supervision
great organizations whose continued
existence is menaced by the recent in
depreciation of the Sherman act, the
disintegration Of which would neces-
sarily be attended with much loss.
To such it is a case Of any port in a
storm. -
Mr.. wickersham said the department
of justice could not maintain super
deals with violations Of the law.
Function Of Oommissfon.
The activities Of such q federal
prevent such violations and to aid
~S<J
status of harmony with the require
ments of the law. With such super
vison a natural economic force may be
utilized to the public benefit. BY it
the monopolies and restrains of trade
will be still held at bay with the ter
rors of the anti-trade act, thousands of
small trades may be regulated, and by
cooperation protect themselves from
the ruin Of destructive competition on
the one hand and from the constant
apprehension of indictment on the
other.
Whether or not such federal in
dustrial commission could have power
to regulate prices is matter for rsri-
Gus consideration
Mr.. Wickersham said the institution
of commission to regulate the prices
of commodities az the interstate COM
merce commission regulates transpor-
tation rates, might seem ssnovel and
RADICAL and directly contrary to the
old economic theories based on the law
of supply and demand.
"The fact is,'' he continued, "that
the law Of supply and demand does
not, and has not for many years work
ed in this country in natural, unre-
strained and unfettered manner. The
government in the first instance inter-
poses an artificial restraint on the
protective tariff on imports. And it
is probably safe to say that in al
most every one of the great staple in
dustries prices have been for years
fixed by agreement between the princi-
pal producers and not by the free play
of normal competition, nor by the un-
fettered operation of the law of sup
ply and demand.'

STRIKE
AT AWAKENING

Word was received here last night
that new strike has been made on
the Truitt and Bray lease at the new
camp Of Awakening. The samples Of
rock sent in show vast amount Of
free gold and are said to run from
5000 to $1,000 to the ton.
Culver and DeArmond, who are ope
rating lease Immediately adjoining
that of Truitt and rBay, have also
uncovered some new rock, showing
values of from $3.50 to $500 per ton.
Owing to the influx of SO many
miners and prospectors the supply of
water in the camp has begun to run
low. It is feared that the well, which
was recently sunk, will not be suffi-
cient to supply the demand and Jack
Wills, who has established hay and
feed yard, has begun boring a well
on his property.
