TROOPS SAVE AIRsHlP.
Angered Cowboys Would Throw Ma
chine in the Yellowstone.

Glendive, Mont-A company of the
state militia today, by quick action
and pointed bayonets, prevented an
angry crowd headed by number
of cowboys from running an aero
plane into the Yellowstone River,
because it did not fly. Felix Schmidt,
a Chicago aviator, and his mechani-
clan, Eugene Grubbin, fed panic
stricken when the cowboys yelled for
them to be thrown into the river
with the airship.
Major d. ]. Donohue. of the Second
Regiment, Montana National Guard,
saved the day for the airship. Real
izing the seriousness of the situation,
he ordered the soldiers to fix their
bayonets and charge back the crowd,
which already had the machine half
way to the river, and was travelling
swiftly.
Several thousand spectators had
waited for several hours for Schmidt
to fly and when word was announced
there would be no flights, a cowboy
yelled to dump the thing into the
river. A lariat whistled through the
air. encircled itself about the pro-
peller of the aeroplane, hundred
hands grabbed the rope and with a
cowboy astride his horse, a quick
trot was made for the Yellowstone S

STEEL MEN UNITE.
Foreigners Anxious 10 Join "GOId-
en- Rule" Association.
Head Of United States Corporation
Says Unjust Concerns Would Be
Driven Out of Business.

Brussels.-The steel interests of Amer
lea, Canada, Germany, Belgium, Italy,
Austria and Spain, we're represented by
100 delegates who met in conference
recently preliminary to the formation
of an international association,
broadly similar to the American Steel
Institute E. H. Gary, chairman of
the United States Steel Corporation,
presided.
Judge Gary explained his views con-
cerning cooperation in business.
Suppose" he said, that COM
pany of men engaged in business
and possessing much capital, power,
and influence should by their con-
duct, unjust and oppressive, secure
universal disapproval, disgust and an
tagonism on the part of the public
in brief time these men would be
driven out of business"
There should be established and
continuously maintained" Judge Gary
said, "a busines friendship which
compels one to feel the same concern
for his neighbor that he has for him
self It is no less in principle, than
the golden rule applied to business.
"If it is, it will be certain to pay.
True it is that sometimes, and too Of
ten, deceit is practiced and that
advantage has been taken by those.
who have been given confidence by
others, but this fact should diShearten
no one"
Judge Gary sketched conditions in
the United States, where, he said, ad-
vantages had been given to the steel
men. Americans, he said, were anxi-
Gus to be and keep near to their Eu-
ropean friends.
1t is the expressed wish of many of
the representatives present to form
an international association for the
interchange of opinions and informa-
ton between iron and steel producers
of the world concerning all questions
relating to the industry and organi-
cation distinguished from and broader
in the scope of it's activities than the
existing great institutions.
Herr Won Bodenhausen, of the
Krupp works, speaking for the Ger
man group, warmly supported the idea
and one by one the members repre-
senting all the nations and groups
fully accepted the project, M. Kes-
tranek for Austria; M. Didex, for
France; Sir Hugh Bell and Sir John
Randle, for England, and M. Greiner.
for Belgium. All present had known
by correspondence the purpose of the
meeting and had decided in advance
to Join the golden rule" movement.
Another meeting will be held to-
morrow at which a committee will be
appointed. representing all the groups
to consider plan of organization.
The conference then will adjourn to
meet at the call of the committee.

vliet, N. Y. They number 15 societies
in the United States and have a mem
bership Of about 1,72S.
The Shakers believe in spiritualism,
practice celibacy, and community Of
goods, oppose war, refrain from oaths
and denounce baptism and the Lords
Supper. They are noted for their
frugality, integrity and thrift. In
Mount Lebanon, their largest COM
munity, there are several families
made up of $50 persons, including 55
boys and girls. The other societies
are made up in about the same ratio
as the one at Mount Lebanon.
The announcement that they are
winding up their financial affairs in
Ohio and New York calls attention to
the final failure of one of the longest
existing Of the many communistic ex-
periments that have been tried in this
country.
In the years following the American
Revolution, more than a score of com.
munistic sects and colonies were es-
tablished in the United States. Some
of them appealed to the sensualities
and some Of them were plain swim
dies. The Shakers held out no sensu-
al or financial allurements and it is
surprising that they have endured so
long. except on the theory that their
simplicity in living attracted recruits
and made them the sole survivors OF
all these social experiments. With
their passing will close one Of the
most interesting chapters of social
experiments in the history of any
country.

Passengers From Steamship Spokane
Thankful for Escape.

Seattle. = Survivors from the
wrecked steamer Spokane, particu-
larly from the East, after they were
safe on the beach, instead of being
overcome with spirit of thanks
giving at their rescue from imminent
death, acted very much as if they
expected the officers of the vessel

HUNDREDS DIE FROM HEAT.
Middle West sizzled Under Torrid

Chlcago.-From all over the Middle

1t was the third day of an ascend

unwelcome news is offered that the
top of the hill may not yet have beer

There was rain in the far North
west and temporary lessening OF
the thermal stress, but from that re
gion comes information that six
deaths made up the tribute of NOR
tality.
In Chicago, which seemed to be a
special victim, the official Government
thermometer in the lofty dome of the
Federal building registered at one
time 102. With one exception, in
June, 1901, it was the highest official

Horses seemed to suffer more than

Despite cooling breezes which
sprang up over night, 20 deaths were

had nine and Pittsburg Is, and in
all three cities there were hundreds
of prostrations of a serious character.
In the death lists due directly to the

Kansas City reports four deaths

In st. Louis, street thermometers

credited with saving many lives in

DEATH LIST GROWS
Chicago SWeIters While Slight
Showers Turn to Steam.
Total Deaths 500 More Than Pre-
Vious Week-Stock Die on RAN
ges-Crops Destroyed.

Chicago, July 10.-Fourteen more
deaths had been added to the appalling
list due to the heat at 9 O'Clock to-
night. The temperature lowered near
the 90-degree mark throughout the
day, but the humidity was more
marked than ever and intensified the
suffering. Dispatches from outside
points indicate that the two-days' re-
spite from torridity had been ended in
many places and that the temperature
is rising again at all points. A
sprinkle Of rain fell this afternoon,
but it was turned to steam the mo-
ment it struck the hot pavements and
buildings, thus increasing the suffer
ing.
Chicago's death rate jumped to the
highest point in many years this week.
Burial permits had been issued for
842 persons up to Sunday night and
it is considered probable that there
will be applications for approximately
100 more tonight. Not all of these
are direct victims of the heat, but a
large percentage is in that class.
Ninety of the number were stricken
dead by the sun.
The total number of deaths was 300
more than the previous week, and the
mortality among babies was more
than doubled. One hundred and sixty
five babies died from heat causes.
The alarming infant mortality is
causing much anxiety in the health
department and special nurses and
physicians are being sent through the
congested districts to assist mothers.
Free ice is being distributed to all the
poor and posters printed in many Ian
guages are placed in the Ghetto and
elsewhere warning parents of the need
of especial care of childen.
Advices from country districts say
the corn crop is again imperiled. Ok
lahoma reports that everything except
cotton is practically destroyed and APP
peals are coming in to the governor to
take steps to help people who are al
ready destitute. Rains and cooler
weather are reported in Mississippi
and Western Arkansas.
Dispatches from Galveston say that
thousands of cattle are perishing on
the Western Texas ranges, where the
long drouth has burned off the grass.

POTATOES NEVER SO HIGH.
Drouth Follows Frost in California
Government Pays Double.

Government Pays Double.
San Francisco-That good old stand
by, the potato, was never before so
high in price as this year, is the sad
fact CLEANED from local produce men
who know whereof they speak. The
king of the vegetables, however, is
not the only exalted member of that
kingdom, for oranges, apricots, cher
ries and pears have advanced and even
the lowly and odorous onion has risen
to such heights that small fortune is
necessary to buy a boiled dinner.
During the early part of the season
the crop of early potatoes was nipped
by an unexpected and unusual frost.
Immediately the demand for that veg
etable for home consumption and the
export trade greatly exceeded the sup
ply. Government contracts took
from the local markets enormous
quantities of potatoes. Now that ex-
cessive heat has almost ruined the
crops in the truck-raising country in
the East, California will have to stand
the brunt of the demands for Western
fruits and vegetables. AS the pick of
California fruits and vegetables al
ways go East, a more serious problem
will soon be confronting the local mar
kets.
Prices paid last year for government
potatoes was $1.14 per hundred, while
this year the potatoes are costing the
government S2.53.

The monetary loss is estimated at

| indianapolis, July 4.-Replying to
the contention that reciprocity would
be wholly at the expense of the
farmer and in the interest of the
wage-earners of the large cities, Mr.
Taft declared that in his judgment
"the reciprocity agreement will not
greatly reduce the cost of living, if
at all.
1T is said that this reciprocity
covers competitive products of each
country" said the President, "and
that the reciprocity of the former
Republican leaders was intended to
include only lowering or abolition
of duties on products of other coun-
tries which did not compete with
products of this country.
Therefore it is said that the
Canadian reciprocity, ais now pro-
posed, is nothing but Democratic
measure, reducing or abolishing the
tariff on goods or products from Can
ada that compete with those raised
by our own people, and that it is
especially injurious because it is so
drawn as to prejudicially affect the
farmers of the country as a class.
The Republican party in their last
National platform declared in favor
of tariff duties which would measure
only the difference in the cost of
production of articles here and of
articles abroad. The Canadian recip-
rocity agreement squares exactly with
this doctrine.
Another answer to the objection
of Republican friends who denounce
Canadian reciprocity as a heresy is
that the amount of competition which
is to take place in our markets be-
tween Canadian products and those
OF the United States under this agree
ment is very much less than they
would by their general statements
have you believe. In the first place.
they say that by free trade in agri-
cultural products we are giving them
a market of 90,00O,OO0 people and
taking only market of 5000 900
people for the same things, and that
necessarily they derive greater ad-
vantage. AS matter of fact, in
the vast bulk of our agricultural
products, they can furnish no com
petition whatever while this agree
ment admits all our products free
into Canada"
