if William Miller is in a quandary
about what to do with 16 barrels of
bottled beer seized in a blind pig"
raid at Marcus last week. The
goods are to be usel as evidence in
the trial Of four defendants. He
had difficulty in getting even a tenn
porary place for safekeeping of the
goods. the fear being that the hous-
ing Of such proyender in any private
place would subject the keeper to
penalty, the theory being advanced
that the court house or the county
Jail was the only place where contra
band goods should be stored. II
possible the Marcus booze cases will
be heard at the present jury session.

False Visions

The boy who has to milk cows,
clean out the stables, do chores in
stormy weather, and especially If he
does not have the right kind of
home, is very apt to have visions of
the town which are the veriest pipe
dreams. He thinks Of the town as
nice place where there are no COWS
to milk, no stables to clean out, no
pigs to slop; place where his work
is done at five or six, and does not
begin until eight, or perhaps nine
o'clock in the morning. He thinks
OF 1t as place where there is life
and motion, boys and girls galore,
dances in the evening, and electric
lights; a place where there is money
10 be made easily, and plenty of 1t;
place where he can do as he pleas
rs after working hours, can see life,
and broaden his vision. In short,
ne thinks that life would be worth
hVlng in the town and that it is
hardly worth living in the country.
Ihls is what the boy sees, or thinks
ne sees in town life. He is wiser
after he has spent few years in the
city.
The town boy has his visions of
the country, that are quite as rosy
as the country boys visions of the
town. He thinks of green fields,
and the song Of birds, Of fine feed

MEN TAR AND
FEATHER GIRL
Kansas Community Threatens
to Lynch Leaders.

Lincoln, Kan, Sept. 7.-Sensational
testimony is expected at the trial here
of a number of young men who I've in
the vicinity of Shady Bend, on the
charge of having tarred and feathered
Miss Mary Chamberlain Of Beverly, a
pretty eighteen-year-old girl. The coun-
ty is aroused over the affair, and there
has been talk Of lynching several Of
the participants.
The attack on the girl occurred when
she went for a ride with Edward Rick
ert. As the couple were driving along
a country road near Shady Bend they
were set upon by a crowd Of men, who
took the girl out of the buggy and
stripped her Of her clothing. The men
then stood around taking turns in ap-
plying the tar and throwing feathers
over her.
The parents Of the girl Immediately
made a complaint, and Rickert was ar
rested. He has been sentenced to a
year in jail. 1t was charged that he
entered into a conspiracy to entice the
girl to the spot where the gang was
waiting to attack her. He pleaded
guilty and on promise Of a light sem
tence gave the names Of all the others
concerned. 1t was said that the reason
Of the attack was remarks Miss Cham
berlain was alleged to have made about
other girls.
A. G. Clark, A. NJ. Simms, John
Schmidt, Watson Scranton and Jay
Fitzwater, all grown men, were next
arrested. They are charged with being
the r~ingleaders. After arraignment
they were released on heavy bonds for
trial.
Ever since the assault Miss Cham
berlain has been Ill In bed. Her friends
say the attack was wholly unjustifed
and was caused by envious girls in the
city, who declared that she had made
uncomplimentary remarks about their
characters.

LEADERS STOP
STRIKE ORDER
Prevent Men Walking Out
Until After Conference.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. THE
leaders of the local union of railroad
shop employees at Sacramento have
been prevented from calling a strike
Of their men by the peremptory orders
of five international presidents, who
hurried from this cit to forestall any
action on the local unions part. No
single union, said President Kline,
could declare a strike before the con-
ference of unto men from all parts of
the state, which las been called for to-
morrow in this city.
A meeting at Sal nmento has been
called, when the local officials will go
owe the situation with the union lead
ers from the east. Before leaving Kline
stated hat the strike might be called
from the Chicago headquarters at any
time.
Chicago, Sept. Julius Krutt-
schnitt, vice president of the Hartman
lines of railroads, arrived in Chicago
from San Francisco after having de-
clined to negotiate further with the in
ternational officers of the labor organi-
cations of the Hartman lines In the
west
Mr.. Kruttschnitt said that the de-
mands made at the conferences in San
Francisco were the strongest ever
placed before the railroads. He assert
ed that with business as at present the
railroads could not consider the de-
mands and that the next move was up
to the unions. What this might lead to
he would not venture to guess, saying
that he had not heard from the labor
heads since he left San Francisco on
Saturday.
While the situation is regarded as
still serious on the Illinois Central and
allied lines, it is not believed by many
hat a strike will be declared Just at
present by delegates representing the
various unions In the Federation of
Shop Employees. Several of the dele
gates asserted that much depended
upon the action Of The international Of
fcers In respect to the refusal Of the
tons. 1t was intimated that dcclara-
ton Of a strike on the Hartman lines
generally would be followed by a sim
liar order on the Illinois Central and
allied roads.
