aHcers era hold over. The people of the traa were so engrossed in a natural gas ' ami me ace boom that they allowed norata’ittaari to go utterty by default. Mr*. W. R. Chadman, a well-known reside at of Kansas City, Mo., attempted to horsewhip City Attorney John A. Oliphanr at Perry, Ok. Mrs. Chadman acensed Mr. Oliphant of slandering her. Olipbant took the whip from the woman’s hands and severely whipped her. The new syndicate opera house block, a three-story brick and stone building, in Gtawford. Neb,, burned to the ground. The origin of the fire is unknown. Furnature. fixtures and mail matter in the pest office were destroyed. The heaviest loser was F. E. Jandt, general store. Warm weather has enabled the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture to get a very fair idea of the damage to the winter wheat of the State. Reports from the various counties south of the Platte indicate that the loss is the heaviest in the State’s history, being more than onehalf. . Sixty thousand miners in Illinois and the four competitive States laid down their tools the other morning and spent the day in celebration of the eight-hour day. which has been in force in union mines for one year. At nearly every mining center there were public exercises and speaking by prominent labor leaders. Judge Shiras of the Federal Court at Dubuque has decided that under the bankruptcy act innocent third parties can hold their securities. The court holds that mortgagees cannot be compelled to yield possession of property in their hands which has passed into their possession before proceedings in bankruptcy were begun.

At a conference of ’longshoremen at Cleveland, at which all ore-receiving ports were represented, it was decided to demand that the ore unloaders’ scale be advanced to U cents. Subsequently a joint convention of the ore shovelers, lumber sad coal handlers was held, and unanimous action was agreed on by the three branches of the organization. Five men working in a deep, narrow trench at Joplin. Mo. lost their lives by a cave-in that caught them from both sides. Four of the men were buried under eighteen feet of earth and rock and their bodies have not yet been recovered, fffcar. a man named Neighbargar, was covered to the waist and died from his injuries before he could be dug out. At INnaisoa, Ohio, six masked burglars entered the house of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Crocker, an aged and well-to-do couple, and hound and gagged them. Mr. Crocker was tortured by having lighted matches put to- bis feet to compel him to reveal the hiding place of his money, but refused. Mrs. Cteeker was subjected to barbarous indignities. The robbers secured only $97. A fire which started in the engine room «£ the Pacific folding paper box factory, at San Francisco, spread to the building •ccupied by Miller. Stoss & Scott, wholesale hardware dealers, totally destroying the factory and the hardware warehouse. The printing and publishing house of the Hitks-Jmld Company was also damaged by fire and water. The loss will probably amount to $500,000.

Samuel Jacobs reported to the Kansas City police that his 3-year-old son had been stolen. About 10 o'clock on a recent night Jacobs and his wife went across the street to visit a sick woman. They left tta baby asleep. When they returned home- they found the baby’s crib empty, with the bedclothes thrown over the footboard. as if some oue had hastily gathered up the- child. The mother became hysterical and the father searched the premises, but no trace of the lad could he found. The police believe the boy was kidnaped.
