The American policy of putting as many men as possible at work at the forge and in the mine and factory, thus increasing the home consumption of farm produce and decreasing the num ber of ieople engaged in agriculture, is the true policy for the enrichment of the farmers of the United States. .jun i j.ui jjtiiyiicoio. This country has too long neglected its merchant marine. Here is a sample: "The value of imports carried in Ameri can vessels for the six months ending June :MI was $G0,428,14, aud of that carried in foreign vessels was $366,261, 832, and the value of exports for the same time carried in American vessels was 37,1 I'M 68, and of that carried in foreign vessels, 415,687,237." Think of the United States as an immense farm, and you readily picture the true policy for Uncle Sam. There are plenty of "boys" on tho farm and idle horses, and why he should go abroad at all for what he could raise on his farm, or why, if he goes, he should employ other people's boys and either people's teams, almost to the exclusion of his own, for carrying his p urchaeee to the farm and his surplus products away from it is very strange to people who do their thinking in straight lines. Large purchasesof grain have recently been made in this country by Italy. Austria, France and Egypt, countries which rarely have purchased cereals of us to any great extent. This carrying trade is well worth looking after, it seems, when the largest fleet that ever left England in ballast, can come here without cargo to compete for what is to be found for a return trip. Properly fostered by our government, our shipping interest could be increased to five times what it now is and give good employment to thousands of men. Why not give play to this kind of statesmanship? SutiplrioeH of a, .lob. The Argus is evidently afraid that the "conference" of free silver forces in - Platte county will not confer on the populists a sufficient share of the offices, and is forewarning its readers against -the machinations of the democratic wing of the conference, thus: "When the silver conference meets at 1 o'clock August 23d, an effort will be made to get it to take a recess until after the democratic convention has done its work. The excuse for this will be that any suggestions of candidates by the conference will demoralize the 'democratic silver delegates and that they cannot be held in line. etc. Now suppose the conference yields to these demands, then the plan is for the demo cratic county convention to go right ahead and nominate a ticket, tho pop ulists probably to be offered a position on the ticket for which they have no candidate. The idea is to force things, .to play smart But the Argus does not believe that the silver voters of Platte county will tolerate such work. The Argus feels like it is in full harmony with the silver men of this county when it repeats what it baa time and again said that a union of silver forces does not consist of one- half hoggishnees and one-half humilia tion." As 92 democrats, 70 populists and 20 free silver republicans constitute the conference, it looks as though the dem- ocratic element is dominant, if they can only be able to agree among themselves. This is the one uncertainty in the sit uation. The sentiment expressed by a prom inent populist is this: We are satisfied , to abide by the action of the conference, bat we do not wish to be dictated to by thw d locratie convention. n - - - - mm mmmmmm Get Ready for Mr. P.

Philadelphia Record. MANY EXCITING EVENTS Mutiar Among Strikers and Murder In Deputies' Ranks. DTJTJHOTIOH 0A8E AT PITT3BUBQ. eard ay Jee"-ee Stowe aad Collier Iatke Federal Camrt Striken Cemeaeaded by tae Beach oa Utter Lack of Disorder la eke Strike Peadlas; a Declsloa the Tem per? Beetralalas Order le Ceatlaaed. PmsBUTO, Aug. 17. Yesterday was fraught with exciting incideats on mat ters pertaining to the miners' strike. Mutiny in the miners' camp, murder in the deputies' raski, filing of criminal ad civil nits against the De Armitts and the hearing in the injunction case against President Dolau and others kept both sides to the struggle busy and on the qui vfve all day long. The hearing in the injunction case before Judges Stowe and Collier was perhaps one of the most important and interesting ever held in the federal court. It was a hearing in which both capital and the rights of labor were in terested and the decision is expected to have a telling effect on the conduct of the great coal miners' strike, which has been on since July 5. From tho testimony addnced and from the expressions of the court it can be safely said that there will be some surprises. That the injunction will be materially modified there can be no doubt, which on its face would indicate a victory for the strikers. The prelim inary decree ha9 been continued pend ing a consultation of the judges. Judge 1'ounnend Strikers. Judge Collier said in court that the strike would go down in history as one of the wonders of the century and re markable on account of the utter lack of disorder, for which the strikers are commended and have the sympathy of the court. Said he: "There cau be no question as to what our duty is under all the testimouy, bnt I am somewhat iu doubt as to whether or not the order should be modilied. We cannot deter mine this without u consultation." Jndge Stowe said: "This injunction will not justify the issuing of au attach ment against any marchers who are not found in company with the men named in the injunction." Ee let it be understood that the in junction is not so sweeping as has been thought; that only tne five men named iu the writ Patrick Dolau, William Warner, Cameron Miller, Uriah Bell inghamand Edward McKay are re strained from marching or trespassing on the company's property. The others mentioned can be only those found in company of the five named in the in junction. As near as can be learned, the strikers uuder the injunction can march, but not at stated times, as long as they are not in company with any of these defendants. In addition to the civil suits entered against President W. P. De Armitt by his former employes for wages, three criminal buits have been brought against Samuel De Armitt, a brother of the Mrs. Anna Croto, who was evicted on Saturday by Samuel De Armitt, has brought a criminal suit, charging as sault and battery. She says in her charge that her husband was not at home and Da Armitt took her by the shoulders and threw her out of the bouse. She says he held a hatchet above her head aud threatened to kill her. Her two children, small boys, were also thrown from the house. John Croto, her husband, also sues De Armitt for larceny. He claims that after assaulting his wife and children throwiug his household goods from his house De Armitt took with him a gallon keg of wine aud a $1 revolver of Croto's and has since refused to return them. right Between Deputies. Two Deputies, Robert Kerr and Frank Anderson, employed as guardians of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company, fought in the afternoon, and as a result Kerr cannot live. Anderson is proprietor of a dive on Water street, this city, and is known as a bad man. He was iu charge of the deputies at Sandy Creek. Kerr, who lives at McKees Rocks, is a river pilot by occupation. He has served before as a deputy during strikes. It is not known what the men fought about, but they met on a broad bridge crossing Plum Creek and after a few words An derson wasseeu to hit Kerr, who retali ated, and a rough and tumble fight last ing about five minutes followed. An derson succeeded in drawing his revolv er, and placing it close to Kerr's abdo men fired, the ball tearing through the victim's intestines and lodging in his back. The physicians say he will die in a few hours. A constable tried to arrest Anderson, but he was prevented by deputies who 6aid they would hold him until the ar rival of the sheriff. TWENTY-FJVE HUNPBE3 QUIT WORK First Defection Aeauac Miners la Eastern Peuus) ivanla. HazletO.v, Pa., Aug. 17. Twenty Eve hundred miners left Wilkesbarre collieries in the Honey Brook district and went on a strike yesterday morn ing and at a meeting last night re solved in a body to stand together. This is the first defection among the miners of eastern Pennsylvania. Apart from the wage question the men de nuuided the discharge or transfer of Superintendent Jones, and the feeling against him is so strong that he moves about with aa armed escort and bis house is guarded day and night: At the meeting last night Joseph Keihills was elected president of the nesting. Keshills represents the Hun garians. Xillie Due was elected vice president to represent the Italian ele ment and Alex Mullen represents the English speaking miners. Resolutions were adopted declaring tl at the men would stand together if an attempt was made to discharge them for participating in the strike move ment. A committee was appointed to wait on Manager Lawall, aud demand restoration of the system which was in vogue prior to the advent of Superinten dent Jones to the district. A number of men discharged have been ordered to leave the company houses within five days. Mr. Lawall came here last evening from Wilkesbarre in company with Auditor Johnson of New York nod looked over the ground. Mr. Lawall expressed the opinion that th strike ambrht be settled earlv. bnt he was not J amthorixed as yet to say how the d- Thanksgiving. ,mmwM tors would meet the demands of the men. Increase of De A r mitt's Force. Pittsbubo, Aug. 17. Taking advan tage of the suspension of marching, a number of men went to work during the morning at the Oak Hill mine. They were gotten in by strategy and the strikers were outwitted. Agents of the company have been at work among the strikers for over a week and, al though they have induced some to re turn, the result has been disappointing. It was thought enough men could be procured to run the mine in full. The gents worked hard, bnt found about one-half of the men in full sympathy with the demand for C9 cents, while the remainder were afraid to go to work. - Employee Olvea a Pleasant Surprise. Chester, Pa., Aug. 1?. The employes of George C. Heltzel A Co., manufac turers of worsted goods, have been no tified that the wages paid in 1892 would be restored on Sept. next. The no tice was a surprise, as the restoration was granted by the firm without solici tation on the part of the hands. Two More lajunclioae. Parkeksbukq. W. Va., Aug. 17. Judge Jackson today issued two more injunctions against the striking miners. Marshal Priddie has gone to the New River coal field to serve the papers on Dilcher and his associates. Eight Hnndrrd Jolu the Strike. Matte wax. Aug. 1?. Eight hundred miners at Simmons creek and laborers joined the strike this morning. Fifteen huudred men are now out in the Nor folk & Western disti ict. INSURANCE WAR IN KANSAS. Company Asks For a Mandatory Order Aeainst State OrH.-lal. Topeka, Aug. 17. Judge Horton, representing the Mutual Life Insurance company of New York, served notice on Attorney Geuoral Boyle and Webb Mc Nail, insurance commissioner, yester day afternoon tint Sjpt. 11 he would ask Judge John A Williams, sitting at Wichita, for a man.i-itory order to com pel McNall to lice:tsj the Mutual Life company iu Kansas. Neither Boyle nor McNall were in Topeka. but the notices were served at their offices. Ble questioned the power of Judge Williams, sitting in Colorado, to issue an order that can bind Kansas officials and Judge Hortou arranged to have Judge Williams come into Kansas and hear the application. If Judee Williams shall grant the order McNall will have to either issue the license or go to jail. School of Omeopalhy Exposed. Kansas CirY, Aug. 17. In a signed article iu The Star Dr. William Smith, professor in the Kirkville, Mo., school of osteopathy, exposes the "national school of osteopathy," so called, of this city, which, he declares, sold him a diploma for $1&0 within a week, al though he had not taken a day's study in the institution. The supposed school has been in existence for some time and had as its faculty E. D. Barber, Bertha M. Barber and W. A. Cormack. The officers of the Kirkville school, whose founder is Dr. A. T.

Demonstrated on a farm Near Dabaqne, la., by Agent Clemens. Dubuque, la., Aug. 17. The fact that hog cholera is curable has again been demonstrated on the farm of the Dubuque Fruit and Produce company, near this city, where, under the direc tion of Division Freight Agent Clemens of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, sA out of t2 sick hogs were treated aud saved. There seems to be no doubt that the hogs had a genuine attack of cholera at the time the treat ment was commenced. Last year JJ.000.000 hops died in Iowa of this dis ease. The agents of the Chicago, Mil waukee and St. Paul Railroad company have been using their remedy for over a year and have succeeded in saving fully W per cent of the hogs treated along the line of the road. Odd Fellows' Orphaas' Howe Controversy. Jefferson, la., Aug. 17. The Iowa Odd Fellows' orphans' home matter promises to attain a degree of promi nence that will place it alongside the famous Jouea county calf case. Several lodges in the eastern part of the state have chosen a representative to the forthcoming grand lodge upon the issue of abandoning altogether the proposi tion to build a home. These lodges are preparing circulars setting forth reasons why the plan should be killed and these will be sent broadcast over the state. At previous sessions of the grand lodge there has been quite an element opposed to the erection of the home, aud it is anticipated that a big fight will be the result. The grand treasurer has now in his possession about $40,090, levied ex pressly for the purpose of building this home, and if the project is abandoned at this time a vast amount of ill-feeling and disss titf actioa will he engendered. IOWA MINERS INJURED. Accident In Wapello Company's Mine at Hiteman. 0AJLS DASH D0WH A 8TEEP UfOLLfE tear Car nrk la a Train efTweaty Three Cars Loaded With Two Raadred Mea Twenty Were Kerloasly lajared. Fear and Probably Five, Stay Die Hot Race Far Governor. Ottuxwa, la., Aug. 17. The mines of the Wapello Coal company at the village of Hiteman, near here, were vis ited yesterday morning by one of the most terrible mine accidents ever known in the state. Twenty men were seri ously injured, four and probably tve of whom will die. The fatally injured are: James Darby, badly cut about the head, one ear cut off and throat cut in two places. Don Coulaon, head scalped, right leg and back broken. James Baxter, badly cut about the head, one eye out and otherwise bruised. Charles Edmunds, crushed in the hips and paralyzed. Alfred Clark, hips badly crushed and one leg mashed. Eight others received serious injuries and 25 were more or less hurt and bruised, bnt not seriously. The full quota of C09 men were let down the main shaft of the mine in the morning and crowded the 25 small coal cars in waiting at the foot of the shaft to convey the men down the steep in cline to their roots for the day's work. The train had hardly reached its full speed when a rear coupling broke and the forward 23 cars were dashed.dowB the steep grade, at the foot of which was a sharp curve. As the train rounded the curve the cars jumped the track and men and cars were thrown together in a frightful mass. Help was secured from above and the work of rescue commenced. As the men were dug uncouscious and bleediuK from the mass of debris they were placed in cars and sent to the ground above. Anxious and half crazed women and children, who had heard the terrible news, crowded around each new body sent up. The injured men were sent to their homes as fast as pos sible and pin sicians front Hiteman, re inforced by a number from Albia, did all in their power to relieve the suffer ings of tho unfortunates. HOT RACE FOR GOVERNOR. Republicans Uncertain as to Wbo Will Head the Ticket Cedar Rapids, Aug. 17. All the can didates for governor are here u-lay either in person cr by representativs. Each has headquarters opened. The situation is as unsettled as ever. No possible prediction can be made. It is safe to say it will be the most largely attended and hotly contested conven tion ever held in the state. Parrot t has the largest number of votes and Funk next. Harlan, Shaw, Harsh, Byers and Fuller follow iu the order named. Sabin seems to be in the lead for su perintendent of public instruction. There are many wild rumors floating around about this aud that combination having been formed, but there is no evi dence to substantiate any such reports. The fact is that it is almost impossible to formulate a combination. Governor Drake's withdrawal from the race so late in the campaign precluded any. thing like a compact organization. Ahteriraa Butter In England. Jefferson, la., Aug. 17. R. Frost of Avoca shipped his third car of butter to Eugland yesterday. Reports from the first two cars indicate that the butter is rcgaidcd on superior to anything pro. duced across the water and the price is exceedingly satisfactory. lioad Race at Des Mnlnes. Pes Moines, Aug. 17- lhe annual road race took place yesterday. C. S. Sheehau was the winner. Charles Brown and E. W. Brown tied for the time prize, covering lttf course in 41 miuute. There were 30 starters, of whom 20 finished. DARK SIDE OF YUKON. Henry Gable, Just From Juneau, Talks Discourasiag-ly of the Prospects. San Francisco, Aug. 17. Henry Ga ble, an old and experienced miner, who was one of the first to join the rush to the Klondike, has returned, and tell 3 a story calculated to deter others from go ing north iu search of gold. Wheu the news of gold strikes reached this coun try Gable determined to seek his fortune in the Yukon, leaving his mines iu Ari aona, and came to San Francisco. Here he bought his outfit and supplies aud left on the Umatilla three weeks ago en route for the Klondike via Juneau aud Cbilcoot pass. Now be is back, having sold his outfit, which cost $235. He learned from many experienced miuing men at Juneau and further up that it would be suicide to go before spring. He says: "The Alaskan mining men are positive that nearly all who are try ing to get to Dawson City will be frozen up en route until spring, and that their fate is uncertain. I will not answer for the lives of the tenderfeet who are now going," San Francisco, Aug. 17. Thomas Magee, who accompanied his son to Dyea, writes to the Associated Press from that point to tho effect that the ig norance displayed by the crowds who are flocking to the Klondike fields is lamentable. Aug. 7 a miner was drowned while packing his goods over a foot log about a mile and a half from Skaguay. A teamster charged 910 for bringing the corpse into town, and this so enraged the people that he was or dered to leave town at once. He was offered 12,000 for his wagon and team before he left for Junean. Washington. Aug. 17. The Cana dian government has submitted formal propositions to this government to es tablish communication with the Klon dike region in Alaska by the construc tion of a telegraph line from the head of winter navigation, on the Lynn ca nal, into the central of the Klondike district, and to establish a permanent route, giving access to the interior at all seasons of the year. The proposals have been taken under advisement, Lard Salisbury Objects. Constantinople, Aug. 17. The peace negotiations between the ambassadors of the powers and Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish foreign minister, are at a com plete standstill. This is due to the re fusal of Lord Salisbury to allow a Turkish occupation of Thessaly pend ing a partial paying of the penalty agreed upon. Lord Salisbury's objec tion is based upon a fear that an occu pation thus begun might become per manent. Weather Chief on a Tear. Washington, Aug. 17. Professor Willis Moore, chief of the weather bureau, today starts west on a tour of inspection, to be gone about two weeks. During his absence he will read a paper at Toronto, before the British Associa tion for the Advancement of Science on "The atmospheric survey daily made by the UnitedStates." Gallaajber Appointed Chief. OiURA, Aff. 17. Coaetaatin V. Gallagher was appointed chief of police of Omaha by th board of fire and police cosamibsibners last tight.

Judge B. P. Duffy will begin this week the publication of the Platte County Democrat, giving Columbus the sixth newspaper more than it ever had be fore at any one time. Columbus is not an ideal newspaper town to begin with. A small per centum of the business men do all the advertising which at best would make dry picking for two news papers if the editors had the disagreea ble habit of eating two or three times a day. No fact is more thoroughly es tablished, yet Columbus has a fascina tion for literary men that is irresistible. In the army of professional hoboes, seeking what they may devour, are to be found every few days a startling per capita of editors who admit that at some time or other they did penance running a newspaper at Columbus. They haven't done anything since. Others rest in the silent city of the dead who passed away rejoicing that it might be better and couldn't be any worse. The new paper while it lasts will advo cate the Chicago platform and hold up to popular condemnation the vile per petrators of the crime of 1873. It will stand for a union of the local reform forces on the basis of a pop for sheriff and everything else for the democrats. It will endeavor to supplant the Tele gram in public favor and hurry Colonel N. H. Parks over the hill to the poor house. It will be interesting to watch the fight from a safe distance, and smell the smoke. Bixby in Lincoln Journal. Rev. T. H. Worley, pastor of the Methodist church at Table Rock, was telling his friends of a very fortunate thing that happened to his son, Earl Worley, on the assembly grounds yes terdsy morning. Some six months ago, his son, who is nearly 11 years of age, swallowed a tack. lie was running along at play with one of the long brass headed tacks used in f listening wooden chair bottoms, in his mouth. In some manner the tack was swallowed and in stead of going into his stomach it lodged in the upper part of his lungs. At first, it did not cause him distress, but the boy soon began to show all the symp toms of consumption and of late ho bad been growing worse. Physicians seem ed to be in doubt as to whether the tack was lodged in the boy's lungs. The in cident of his swallowing the tack was not thought of seriously till he began to grow very much worse. Mr. Worley was about to put his son through the X-ray test when yesterday morning he coughed up the tack and immediately began to feel relieved. There is every indication now that he will recover. The tack originally was nearly an inch long. There is nothing bnt the head remain ing now with a short stub attached, the point having corroded and been eaten away. The peculiar feature of the case is that the boy showed all the symptoms of consumption and asthma. Neither he nor the physicians were able to locate the place where the tack lodged. His breathing became much freer the mo ment it was ejected. Lincoln Journal. Two thousand pounds of dirt from the Nuff farm near Crete, this state, were taken to St. Louis and tested for value. The result was one-half ounce of gold, worth $10.33, and seven and three fourths ounces of silver, worth $1.57, a total of $14.90 to the ton. Mr. Gruben, who had the test made, is so well satis fied with it that he will bring back nith him a forty-ton smelter and start the work in earnest. If a youth be imbued with a love of pursuits that employ the intellect, aud it is furnished with refined pleasures, he is more likely to become a good man, a useful, honorable citizen, than if subject ed to the strictest moral discipline and kept iu the most unsuspecting ignorance of the vice and wickedness of life. A proper knowledge of the nature of evil is the best armament against becoming subject to it. The Outlook.

To all Sufferers: I write this for the benefit similar sufferers may derive from it, unsolicited and out of pure sympathy to those poor mortals who may be afflicted with that dread disease cancer. In September of 1887 the disease known by the medical fraternity as lupuserethemustosus first made its ap pearance on my face and soon spread across the nose and over a greater part of the face, causing unsightly sores. After nearly ten years of constant doc toring with many noted physicians and deriving temporary benefit at times, my system at lost reached a stage of com plete collapse, and I was Hat on my back with no ray of hope. At tbis stage I was recommended to try Dr. Lieber of Omaha; after an examination he said he could cure me. As a drowning person grasping at a straw I entered his private hospital, and in a short space of time I was able to leave the hospital a well woman. My face is now clear and shows bnt little sign of tbe dread disease. While in the hospital there were also removed from my body seven cancers, and that without tbe use of the knife. The medical fraternity scoff at the idea of cancers being removed without the knife. But I am a living proof that it can be and is done by Dr. Lielier. To all those poor mortals who have given np the battle against this dread disease, I say don't despair, but consult with the doctor. I make this statement out of pure sympathy for similar sufferers, and will be glad to see or answer any in qniries in regard to my case. MRS. F. E.
