IL is certain that if Richard We're

DISTRICT SEVERELY CRITICIZE.
Ed BY GRAND JURY.

Pueblo, COL, Dec. 5.-The federal
grand jury report severely criticized
the actions of mine owners in the dis.
tricts where men are on strike. Ac"
cording to the report, the coal com"
panies have been sufficiently inf1u-
entail to nominate, elect and control
many county officers, and have done
so with the result of complicating the
industrial situation by arousing politi-
cal prejudice.
In connection with the mine-owned
saloons, the report says: MANY coal
companies maintain camp saloons and
collect from the keepers of such sa"
looms a per capita sum of Is to 40
cents per month for each person on
the mine pay roll. The saloons are

Washington, D. c., Dec. 5.-After
discussion into which Republican
Leader Mann injected the Mexican sit
uation, the house passed pay army
volunteer bill that in varying forms
has been talked of at the capitol for
many years. The bill going to the
senate will put the volunteer forces
on an equal footing with the regular
army. It will provide that whenever,
in the presidents judgment, war is
imminent or exists, he may organize
volunteer regiments for war purposes.
The men, instead of enlisting for a
short period, will enlist "for the war. !"
The president will appoint all the
officers.
The volunteer force will supplement
the national militia, with which the
bill will not interfere.
Representative Mann in speaking
of the Mexican situation, said of
course Chairman Hay, in the mill
tary committee, the administration
and all others connected with the
bill, would vigorously deny the meas
ure was presented now because the
government was preparing for war
with Mexico. He recited that just

board of pardons in it's semi-annual
meeting is considering 1873 applica-
tons for clemancy from the inmates
of the penitentiary sentenced for
crimes ranging from blindpigging to
murder in the first degree. Up to last
night only eight pardons had been
granted and these are to men who
have nearly completed the sentence
imposed by the court.
No prisoners of more than ordinary

I think any government in Mexico
which does not receive the moral

doubt whether any government in

believing that she is securing meat ex-
tracts cheaply when really she is buy
ing it in an expensive form.
According to analyses of these cubes
besides the common salt which consti"
tutes from 40 to u per cent of the to-
tai weight, the amount of meat eX"
tract ranges from per cent in the
poorest brands to but % per cent in
the very best. The third important in
gredient is plant or vegetable extract
which constitutes from 3 to 80 per
cent. This plant extract is useful be"
cause of it's favoring properties but
has slight, if any, nutritive value.
Although the cost of making the
beef broth, using expensive meat, is
about 13 cents per cup, the broth
contains all the fat of the meat which
is a valuable food and which is prac>
tically eliminated from ordinary COM
mercial meat extracts. Also, the meat,
after the soup is made is available for
the preparation of hash. The cost
could be greatly reduced if the meats
are purchased at lower priced mar
kets or if less expensive cuts are used
and the homemade broth would still
have much greater food value than

Washington, Dec. 5. - Charges by
Senator Cummins that the democrats
had approached dangerously near a
conspiracy against the rights of the
people" in taking caucus action on the
currency bill, marked the opening of
the days session in the senate.
"This bill has been considered else
here and passed elsewhere" declar-
ed Cummins. There will be no real
debate in this chamber; it will simply
be a farce. hesitate to participate
in it, for do not want to give it, be-
fore the country, the color of actual
elaboration. I cannot believe that the
American people will for long period
tolerate this legislation by caucus"
Senator Lewis of Illinois retorted
that Cummins, while governor of
Iowa, had sanctioned similar caucus
methods. Cummins denied it.
Owens defended the democratic
caucus action. He said the democrats
had adopted "the most direct, effect
i've and simple way of securing legis-

Rugby Thieves
Get Rich Haul
DEPARTMENT STORE THERE
LOSES 81, 900 WORTH OF SILK
IN RAID,

Rugby, N. D., Dec. 4.-Burglars en-
tered Amberson's department store
by way of the rear door and took the
entire stock of new silks which had
only recently been placed on the
shelves. All that was left was few
remnants. Evidently the parties were
very familiar with the location Of
things in the store and they seemed
to specialize in silks as absolutely
nothing else had been disturbed, the
cash drawers had not been molested
and no other goods than silk had
been taken.
In the alley back Of the store was
found the wrappers taken from the
silk, which would indicate that it had
been repacked into small trunks or
suitcases, and the cartons removed
as they were quite bulky. Evidently
there were several persons engaged
in the job of carrying out the plot,
which they were able to do without
emerging into the light from the
streets.
The supposition is that If it were
out of town parties that they had a
vehicle of some sort stationed in the
road near the Great Northern tracks
and logged their booty from the store
and made off without being seen by
anyone, or at least not attracting any
particular attention.
Sheriff Tieegen is making every
effort to locate the guilty parties, and
while there seems to be no available
clue, yet the thieves may be brought
to bar.

Proves Success

The great removal "Whilrwind" sale
held at the Wardrobe Clothing Store
seems to have struck responsive
chord and Saturday the people were
there in such vast numbers that it was
practically impossible to gain an en-
trance at times. The gentlemen in
charge were working like beavers
wrapping goods and making change.
The sale was held to reduce the
stock before moving into the new
quarters which, by the way, will be
one of the neatest stores of it's kind in
the state. Fifty feet of plate glass will
furnish a display window which is un.
excelled in town and the Wardrobe is
