INDIANS AEE UNRULY
THEY THREATEN TO AVENGE A
SHOOTING.
The Situation About Arapahoe Regarded
as Decidedly Serloas Joit at Present
The Complication Drives the Gold F.x
cltement Temporarily oat of Mind
The Obstreperous Indians Kept In
Check by Troops.
The Cheyennes Unruly.
BitmoKroBT, Ok., June 22. This is
the first relay station on the way to the
gold diggings on the Washita. Across
the river are two diverging roads one
to Cloud Chief on the southwest and
the other to Arapahoe on the north
west. Arapahoe is the scene of great
excitement, while Cloud Chief is com
paratively quiet, although it is only
fifteen miles from the diggings.
The excitement at Arapahoe is due
to the shooting of Casah Red Lodge, a
Cheyenne Indian accused of assaulting
an old white woman named Hayes,
southeast of that place. Red Lodge
was arrested near Watonga by deputy
sheriffs and taken to Arapahoe by a
deputy sheriff named IJurch. There
Burch took him to a ball game Satur
day. The noise and crowd soared him
and he tried to run away. After an ex
citing chase he was shot by the sheriff.
This excited the Cheyennes, but they
were held in check by Troop A, Third
United Stat es cavalry, which is in
camp near the town. The Indians
went into council and sent couriers to
Fort Reno and the Kiowas. To-day
Captain Woodson, agent of the Chey
ennes and Arapahoes, went to Arapa
hoe to quiet the Indians.
The gold excitement is lost to sight
in this new trouble. If the whites can
Identify Red Lodge as the man who
assaulted Mrs. Hayes, they will hang
him. The Indians think the deputy
sheriff took Red Lodge to the ball
game in order to have him mobbed.
Great fears are expressed by all
who know, the feeling between
the Indians and the whites. John
Hansel, a young Cheyenne who
was educated at Carlisle and speaks
good English, said to-day: "I fear
my people will rise against the
white men. The whites have imposed
upon them beyond endurance. I saw
old Red Lodge at Watonga. He said
ii ms son aiea ine Indian warriors
would go on the warpath and wipe out
iae wnite people at Arapahoe."
Asked how many warriors the Chey
ennes had, Hansel said that there were
from 300 to 400. They would get no
neip irom the Arapahoes, but would
from the Kiowas.
THE MYSTERY SOLVED.
American
Wheelman Lens Murdered by
the Kurds.
Washington; June 22. United
States Minister Terrill cables from
Constantinople that the British consul
at Erzeroum informs him that Cyclist
Fred Lenz of Pittsburg, Pa., who mys
teriously disappeared about a year
ago while traveling through Persia
on a tour for Outing, the Ameri
can wheelmen's journal, was mur
dered near Dahar by five Kurds. The
British consul has .furnished the names
of the assassins and Minister Terrill
has demanded the arrest and punish
ment of the Kurds at the hands of the
porte and has requested the co-operation
of the British consul in bringing
the murderers to justice.
Four years ago Lenz, accompanied
by Sachtleben of St. Louis, made a
tour of the world a-wheel in the inter
est of Outing, and two years ago Lenz
started on another trip of the same
nature, but by a different route. He
got along all right until he reached
the scene of the Armenian outrages,
and wrote many interesting letters
of his journey ings through .Eu
rope and Asia. The last letter re
ceived from him was forwarded
from Teheran, in Persia, about a
year ago, and his next letter was ex
pected from Erzeroum or Constanti
nople. No further letters being re
ceived from him, an investigation fol
lowed, but it was several months be
fore any definite news of the missing
cyclist was obtained. It was learned
that he had passed safely through
Sassoun. where he attracted consider
able attention from the natives, and
on leaving that town he was followed
by the Kurds, who are sus
pected of having killed him. Outing
finally secured the services of
Sachtleben to make a trip in search of
his missing comrade, and with the aid
of the British consul at Erzeroum
finally succeeded in verifying the re
port of Lenz's assassination and the
names of his murderers. It was hoped
that Lenz had been captured by the
Kurds and was being held for ransom,
but it is now positively asserted that
he was killed.

cases they have been bought outright
frorrw the states. The compilation
probably will be published next
autumn.
KANSAS CROP REPORT.
Wheat Is Short, But Corn Promises to
Break the Record.
Topkka, Kan., June 22. The Kan
sas board of agriculture to-day issued
a report on the" state's present crop
condition, deduced from observations
made by its regular correspondents in
practically every township in the state
and Secretary Coburn thinks the show
ing is in many respects one of fine
prospects as compared with the report
.made May 1. -The report is as follows:
v inter wheat Previous 'estimates
indicated the area sown to winter
wheat as 4,064,137 acres, and May 1 it
was believed that 53 per cent of this
would be harvested. Present estimates
are that about 37 per cent, or 1,496,791
acres will be cut and the average yield
9.24 bushels per acre, or a total oi 12,
532,333 bushels. The largest averaere
yield per acre for a county is 15 bushels
u njiauuoue. Alien, coney, uonipnan
and Phillips report 13 bushels per acre
ana 33 counties an averasre vield of 10
j Jbushels or more.
Spring Wheat Of spring wheat 65
; per cent of the acreage will be har
i vested, or about 86,000 acres. The
, yield is set down at 773,000 bushels, or
j an average of nine bushels per acre
; for the thirty-two counties in which it
! is reported growing. The highest
i average, sixteen bushels, is figured
' from Phillips county; nineteen coun
j ties report a probable averge of ten
j bushels or more per acre, and indica
i tions of the quality are medium or
good. There is but a single exception
as to the qual ity.
Corn It is corn, the crop overshadow
ing in acreage, value and importance
an , other which Kansas produces,
wherewith the state now promises to
exceed by far the best of its wonder
ful previous yield records. The area
now reported planted is 8.410,91 S
acres, or an increase of almost ten per
cent of the estimate May 1, and also
an increase of 1,417,741 acres, or more
than twenty per cent, over the largest
ever before planted, which was 6,yJ3,-
207 acres, in ISsS.
uats ihe rains have worked a very
notable chancre in the condition of
cats, causing them to head and fill
much better than seemed possible May
l. although the straw will be unusu
ally short. The yield promises to be
not less than twenty-five bushels per
acre, or a total of 32,000,000 bushels of
"medium to '-very good" grain the
largest output mnce 1S92.
Chinch bugs have been more or less
numerous and industrious in Atchison,
Chautauqua, Cherokee, Crawford,
ranklin, Labette, Montgomery, Sum
ner, abaunsee and U oodson, but re
cent rains must inevitably check their
injurious work, and also strengthen
plant growth to better withstand their
assaults.
Rye Rye was sown on 165,340 acres,
oi wnich 51 per cent, or 84,935 acres
will be harvested and yield ten bushels
per acre. (Juality "medium to "good.
Barley There is 124.000 acres of
barley growing, or 11 per cent more
than in 1S94. Present conditions com'
pared with 100 as a full average is 76.
t otatoes Irish potatoes have an
areage of 123,250, which is an increase
of twenty-three per cent, or 23,140
acres over last year. This, excepting
that of 13SS (126,185 acres), is the
largest area ever given to potatoes in
Kansas.

The Iron Sheet Scale Settled.
Pittsburo, Pa., June 22. The con
ference between the wage committees
of the Amalgamated association and
the iron and steel sheet manufacturers
ended by signing a scale to run from
July 1 to June 30 next year. A sliding
scale, based on the selling price of
sheets, was adopted, instead of the
old base of the selling price of bar
iron. The workers are to get two pet
cent increase on every ten per cent ad
vance in the price of sheets. This in
sures work for 20,000 men.
Their Salaries Levied On.
" opeka, Kan., June 22. Joseph

t SILVER IN THE WAY.
A LONG
FIGHT IN THE
CONVENTION.
LEAGUE
Friends of White Metal Determined A
Compromise Address Proffered, Which
the Silver Champions Antagonize The
Matter Referred to m Suo-Commlttee
With Only Two free Coinage Members
What Was Offered by the Man from
Oklahoma.
The Contest Is Over Silver.
Cleveland, Ohio, June 21. The
lommittee on resolutions of the Re
publican national league organized
vesterday, with Congressman Robin
son of Pennsylvania as chairman and
H. G. Knowles of Delaware as secre
tary. This was against the silverites,
but thev at once becran a fitrht. A re
cess was taken for two hours, when a
subcommittee of nine was appointed
to hear all sides. The compxomise res
olution, which attracted the most at
tention, was presented by Senator
lect J. M. Thurston of Nebraska, as
follows: "We approve the declaration
"it the last Republican national con
vention, 'the American people from
tradition and interest favor bi
metallism, and the Republican
party demands the use of both gold
and silver as a standard money, with
-,uch restrictions and under such pro
visions to oe aeterminea as win secure
the maintenance of the parity of val
ues of the two metals, so the purchas
ing or debt paying power of the dol
lar, whether of silver, gold or paper,
shall be at all times equaly, and refer
the acion for a more specific declara
tion to the next Republican conven
tion, which alone has the power to
bind the party or make platforms and
ieclare principles."
It was after two o'clock this morning
when the subcommittee adjourned.
Mr. Blackwell of Massachusetts pre
sented a resolution inclining very
strongly toward the gold standard, and
numerous other resolutions expressing
all sorts of views on the money ques
tion followed in quick succession. Sen
ator Dubois of Idaho and Mr. Allen of
Utah fought like tigers for free coin
age, making vigorous speeches, which
were listened to with close attention.
They spoke for free coinage at 16 to 1,
without waiting for . the co-operation
of any other nation.
The sub-committee resumed its ses
sion early after breakfast. The prop
osition of the anti-free coinage men
was modified into an address that
would prevent the silver men from
preparing and offering a minority re
port. Senator Dubois and Allen of
Utah had to be satisfied. The sub
committee appointed Dr. Robinson of
Jiew York, Senator Dubois of Idaho
and Mr. llarkless of Missouri as a
committee to revise the address.
The revision committee reported to
the subcommittee at 10 o'clock and the
discussion on the silver issue was re
sumed. The subcommittee, however,
announced that it would report to the
full committee at 2 o'clock.
As soon as it became known that a
compromise in the shape of an address
on the financial issue was being fig-'
ured on, nearly everyone started to I
work for this plan with a view to pre
venting such a fight in convention as
there was in the committeee on reso
lutions. The Tennessee delegation met be
fore the convention and decided that
the new South had not been properly
brought to the front before the con
vention as other sections. A resolution
was adopted requesting ex-Congress
man William R. Moore to prepare an
address to the Republican party of the
United States, to be delivered to the
convention, setting forth the claims of
the South to a fuller recognition by
the party.
General McAlpin, the prospective
president, was robbed before daybreak
of 'his gold watch, diamond and
money.
Among those accorded an ovation
on entering the hall to-day was Gen
eral Asa S. Bushnell, Republican can
didate for governor of Ohio, who sat
as one of the Ohio delegates."
WARNER MILLER MAKES A TALK.
When President Tracy called
the
the
convention to order at 11 o'clock
first thing done was the appointment
of Senator-elect Thurston of Nebraska,
H. Clay Evans of Tennessee, ex-Gov
ernor Prince of New Mexico, Messrs.
Goodnow of Minnesota and Buck of
Georgia to wait on ex-Senator Warner
Miller of New Xork and invite him to
address the convention. Then the
committee on credentials reported in
favor of seating both delegations from
South Carolina. This was adopted.
On the report of the committee on
rules the rules of the Reed house and
the Denver convention were adopted.
Warner Miller then addressed the
convention. Mr. Miller appeared with
a brilliant McKinley badge on his
lapel and, in referring to the absence
of those who were expected to be
here to sound keynotes, he said he
would wear that badge till he reached
the New lork state line on his return
and there he would be for the Empire
favorite.
As the committee on resolutions was
not ready to report an opportunity was
given to all to offer resolutions which
were referred without debate. Reso
lutions poured in on the Cuban insur
gents, Hawaiian republic, the Ar
menians and all other foreign subjects.
Mr. ifiackweil of Massachusetts
offered a resolution "favoring the right
of women to vote at all elections, and
congratulating the women of Colorado
and Wyoming upon their possession of
the elective franchise. He also offered
a resolution arraigning the adminis-
tion for its 'Turkish policy. Mr.
O'Driscoll of Maryland offered a reso
lution which he said would change the
Democratic states. It provided for a
protective tariff, reciprocity, honest
elections, gold, silver and paper on a
parity, and an aggressive foreign
policy.
Air. f rank ureer of Ukianoma of
fered the following:
1. vYe demand the free and unlimit
ed coinage of the American silver
product with a prohibitive tariff on
the foreign product modified by finan
cial reciprocity laws. f$
2. We are opposed to the single gold
standard inaugurated byGrover Cleve
land and the Democratic party at .the
dictation of England. We believe in
absolute bimetallism the monetary
system established and maintained by
the Republican party gold, silver and
paper circulating upon a parity one
dollar the equal in all purchasing and
debt-paying functions with every other
dollar.
3. We believe in a tonnage tax, in
addition to the regular protective tar
iffs on all goods entering our ports in
foreign vessels, that the American
flag on an American marine may com
mand supremacy upon the seas, dis
placed by the blighted monopoly by
England of the world's ocean carrying
trade.
ANGRY STUDENTS.

la Efilrv for an Obnoxious Order.
Bloominoton, 111., June 21. The
state board of education, in session at
the State Normal university at Nor

and all denouncing Governor Altgeld

campus, where there was an effigy of
the governor, and held a mock hang
ing.
After the effigy dropped it was burned
amid groans. All next went to an
open grave and there, after a funeral
oration by a masked orator, interred a
coffin supposed to contain "A Model
High Scnool, aged 33, which reached
an untimely end through Altgeld." It
was after 2 o'clock when the crowd
ceased yelling.

Too Poor to Admit Al
to Business.
(From the Springfield, Mass., Union.)
There isn't a gun manufacturer in the
United States, who does not know Jef
ferson M. Clough. He nas been Intimate
ly associated all his life with the de
velopment of the Remington and
Winchester rifles. For rears he was su
perintendent of the E. Remington 4b
Sons' great factory at llion. K. T.
After leaving there he refused a tempt
Ing off er of the Chinese government to
go to China to superintend their gov
ernment factories, and accepted in
stead the superintendency of the Win
chester Arms Co., at New Haven, at a
salary of 17.500 a year.
It was after this long term of active
labor as a business man that he found
himself incapacitated for further service
by the embargo which rheumatism had
laid upon him and resigned his position
more than two years ago, and returned
f to Belchertown, Mass.. where he now
lives and owns the Phelps farm.
Being- a man of means he did not
spare the oast and was treated by leading-
physicians and by baths of cele
brated springs without receiving1 any
benefit worth notice. During the sum
mer of 1893 and the winter of 1894 Mr.
Clough was confined to his house in
Belchertown, being unable to rise from
his bed without assistance, and suffer
ing continually with acute pains and
with no taste or desire for food, nor was
he able to obtain sufficient sleep.
Early In the year 1894 Mr. Clough
heard of Dr. Williams Plnjc Pills for
Pale People. He began taking thes
pills about the first of March, 1894, and
continued to do so until the first part of
September following. The first effect
noticed was a better appetite and he
began to note more ability to help him
self off the bed and to be better gen
erally. Last August (1S94) he was able
to go alone to his summer residence and
farm of 163 acres on Grenadier island,
among the Thousand Islands, In the
River St. Lawrence, wher from the
highest land of his farm he commands a
view for thirteen miles down the river,
and Blxty of the Thousand islands can
be seen.
Instead of being confined to his bed
Mr. Clough Is now and has been for
some time able to be about the farm to
direct the men employed there and he is
thankful for what Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills have done for him.
These pills are manufactured by the
Dr. WUHajns' Medicine company, Sche
nectady, X T.. and are sold only in
boxes bearing the firm's trade mark and
wrapper, at 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $2.50 and are never sold In bulk.
They may be had of all druggists or
direct by mall from Dr. Williams' MedK
cine company.
Had the Figures Removed.
The mother of Julia Kavanagh was a
woman of great intellectual power and
unusual force of character, but even
when she was 60 years old she was
ashamed of her age. One day she went
with her French maid to the cemetery
at Nice, to visit the tomb she had erect
ed to her daughter. The two were
standing beside the stone when the
maid innocently read the inscription.
Julia Kavanagh had then been dead
seven years, and her age, 54, was of
course, recorded. "Madam must be
very old," remarked the maid. Old!"
exclaimed Mrs. Kavanagh; "why
should I be old? What do you know
about my age?" "Mademoiselle was
54 when she died,' continued the girl,
"and she has been dead some time.
Therefore, madam must be very old"
Mrs. Cavanagh said nothing, but next
day she sent a mason to the cemetery,
and had the tell-tale figures removed.
