No. 35 liosdmrg CHICAGO STRIKE LEADERS INDICTED Several Street Brawls Combats Will Appeal to President Roosevelt Strike Growing. Chicago, April 29. Chicago is in the throes of an other terrible labor agitation resulting in a general strike of all teamster unions. The fighting in the streets today was the most vicious since the beginning of the strike. Three persons were shot, two stabbed, and fully a score suffered from bruises and broken heads. It is not expect ed that any of the injured will die. An energetic appeal to the employers and the unions involved will be made at once by a committee of disinter ested citizens appointed today by Mayor Dunne. Every effort will be made to bring the two factions together. Twelve labor leaden identified with the teamsters' strike, were indicted to night by the grand jury. Each indict ment contains six counts and ahargea the men with joining a conspiracy. Trne bills were found against the follow ing : Cornelius P. Shea, president of the International Teamsters' union ; Hngh McGee, president of the truck drivers' union ; J. McCarthy, business agent of the truck drivers' union ; M. F. Kelly, president of the market drivers' anion ; Charles Wilbrandt, secretary ot the teamsters' joint council ; George F. Golden, president of the packing house teamsters' union : James B. Barry, presi dent of the railway express drivers' un ion ; John Smyth , president of the coal drivers' onion ; Harry Lapp, business agent of the cool drivers' union ; Charles Dodd, president of the Chicago Federa tion of Labor ; Steven Sumner, president of the milk drivers' anion ; J. W. Young business agent of the baggage and par cel drivers' union. Much secrecy marked the return of the indictments, and even after they were returned an effort was made to keep the names from being learned. SALOON MEN WILL BE ARRESTED Albany, Or., April 27. Arrests un der the local option law are to be made in Linn county. For some time com plaint has been made by prohibitionists of Lebanon that the saloons of that ?laee are selling liquor, notwithstand ing the ImA that the precinct in which they are located went "dry" at the recent election. As a result of these complaints,' District Attorney J. H. Marcy. of Salem, and Deputy Gale & Hill, of Albany have begun an investigation, and have examined a great number of witnesses from Lebanon. The arrests are expected in the near future. MARSTERS' DRUGS PATENT MEDICINES PERFUMES SOAPS TOILET ARTICLES RUBBER COODS PAINTS, OIL, VARNISH Read the Plaindealer BY GRAND JURY and a Number of Fatal Other Teamsters G Oat The strike continued to spread today and a large number of teamsters em ployed by lumbermen, grocers and va rious coal companies went out. The most serious phase of the trouble today was the aggressiveness of the wholesale grocers, packers, ice dealers and com mission men, who decided to Stand with the members of the Employers Associa tion. This means a lockout for the men have already declared tbey would not make deliveries to any of the boycotted firms. More than 3300 were involved when this action was taken. There is a strong sentiment among the labor men to have President Kote- I veil lnieriere in the strike when be ar- rives in the city on bis return from his vacation. He is scheduled to arrive here on Hay 10 and will be asked to end 1 the strike as in the case of the anthra j cite Gainers. Attorney Levy Mayer, declared em : paafically that the employers were not 1 seeking peace with the teamsters' anion and proposed to continue the fight unti they were "left undisturbed by the la ; bor agitators and allowed to run their business without interference."

A MILLIONAIRE TklBE OF INDIANS The debate in Congress about the lease of Indian lands and cognate sub ject haa brought out the information that the Osage Indians are, in the language of the Oklahoma newspapers, "the richest people on earth." The Osagee, who number about 1,800 souls, have on deposit with the National Government nearly $9,000,000, the pro ceeds of land soil. The income from this money at five per cent, ia )450,000 a year. Each Osage receives about $250 a year, and if the principal were turned over to them they would each have $6,000. Tbey still own over 1,500,000 acres of land, or nearly 1,000 acres each, which is valued at $20 an acre. An Osage In dian is worth in this world's goods at least $25,000 and in addition to the $250 yearly interest from the tribal fund which every Osage receives he also gets $100 a year from the rental of grazing lands. Lately rich oil deposits have been dis covered on the land, and the tribe is re ceiving an income from this source which is increasing with great rapidity. Oil experts have estimated that the in come from the oil royalties will soon suffice to give to each and every Osage many thousand dollars yearly, and the more liberal of the computers of Oeage wealth predict that it will soon be im possible to keep an Osage Indian out of the United States Senate.

BROWN'S OBSER VATIONS IN EUROPE Oregon Would Be a Paradise With the Good Roads of England, France or Italy. London, England, April 6, '05 Leaving Nice we went to Marseilles. The road ran through a very picture-.; ne country along the shore of the Mediter ranean. Marsaille ha a fine hay and is the main shipp:ng point for Southern France. From Murvailles we went di rect to Paris, H hours travel, but stopped over nif fit at Lyon and traveled only in the day time which took us two lays. France is a very beautiful coun try. We thoroughly enjoyed the ride and ti e scenery, the highly cultivated farms and the towns every few miles ; and theVrarra sunshine made a pleasing picture We li id no English speaking people with us for two days, but had Knchmen in onr compartment for traveling companions and it takes a Frenchman to be polite and agreeable. 1 admire the French people. When we stopped at Lyons which is the great silk manufacturing town of I-ranee, we had to hunt up the interpreter, fall the rail roads in Italy and Fran,-e have them; and told him what wewan'el. HecalV-d a hotel porter who took us to a good hotel where me h td a good "upper, room and breakfast, and then Were brought back to the train. We arrived in I 'aris the following eve ning where we agaiu found an interpre ter who called a cab and instructed the driver to Uke us to the hotel we had selected. All the hotels throughout Greece, Italy and France, in the large cities, empl yed either men in the office or porters who can speak English. The porter in a European hotel is quite an important personage ; he has his office near the entrance and can give all the information you want; I have always found them very obliging. We tarried 15 days in Paris and enjoyed it very much ; stopped at the St. James hotel which was full of English and Ameri can people. We visited nearly all the historical places of interest, was through the Louvre and the Tu'.ilvriea, the home of the Kings of France, etc. A week ago yesterday we left Paris and arrived in London. Crossed the English Chan nel in 3 hours from Dieppe to New Haven. We have spent most of our time in London seeing the points of interest, the parks, Kings Palace, the Duke of Wellington's home and several other houses of the noMlity. An English lady who came from Paris with us and who takes great pride in London and every thing English, stopped at this hotel. She insisted on showing us around and made a very excellent, free guide. She took us through the Parks to the King's house and along Pall Mall and told M who lived in the tine mansions, and then I i went with us to the Tube for an under ground ride. The Tube differs from the j subways in New York. Instead of sieps ! to go down to take the cars, here they go down on large elevators and go down I much larther than the subways of New York, or Paris. The Tube here is finely j finished, arched with white, glazed brick I DOUGLAS COUNTY'S BIG A recent visitor to the camp of the Calapooia Invest ment Company near Oakland says work on the big ditch is going ahead at a lively rate aud the heaviest portion of the work will soon be completed. Milo Summers is fore man and Mrs. Summers has charge of the boardiug house. The men are well fed and paid for their labor. Fifty good men can secure steady employment at $2 per day. When completed this big ditch will render the gieater portion of what is known as Camas Swale, comprising many thousand acres, now principally in pasture, extremely fertile and scores of productive farms will be provided by the carry ing out of this great irrigation project. with a doub'e track snd is a nice place to ride in, hot or cold weather. We vis ited Westminister Abby ; ent through the Parli iment buildings, w hen Parlia ment was not in ssion, but have tick ets of admission fro n the American Embassy to the House of I-ords and the House of Commons, where we wiil go this afternoon, while they are in session. Last Sunday we went with our Eng lish friend to St. Paul's Cathedral, the largest church here, and listened to a wry good sermon and to a small-r church in the even ng rear ot.r hotel. Both had very excellent music. The ct.i.ir was composed of boys hut they could sing. Yesterday we went out to Winsdor 20 miles, and visited Winador Castle where Jtievn Victoria lived most of the time. The Cat-tie, or part of u. is very old : dates lek to tl.e time of Henry the Fighth, or still farther. We had been throuk'hthe palace of the Kl.e-live. King of i irevce in At! ens and on the Island of Cor fee. t he King's Palace in Naples which has 1300 rooms, the Tuillerir-s where Ixois 14th, 15th and lrith lived, but the palace at Winsdor differed very much from the others. It hssthearmor and weapon from rly Kings up to tjueen Victoria's time. The Palace cov ers 7 acre of ground and is used as the home of the Royal family. There is 3tW acres of park adjoining the Palace with tine drives through it. In this park (jmt-u Victoria, her husband and her mother are buried in a mausoleum built by the late Queen ; no others are to be bnried there. The park is a beautiful place and is stocked with, they told us. 10.0 "0 deer and plenty of other game which fun. h!..- shooting for the Royal family. As we drove through we saw several hundred deer as tame as fl ick of cheep ; pheasants and rabbits in plenty. Ti.is is very nice for the Kovai family and visiting Kings, but 1 though' about the dear people who have to put up the money for all the luxuries, yet I think they are glad to do it and believe in the Divine right of Kings and willingly make sacrifices that the Koyal family and nobility' may ei.joy all the splendors and luxuries. It is all in the raising, but I prefer free America and a president ho goes out aud hunts wild game. The one thing that I envy the Europeans is the gonl roads. If dea old Oregon hail the roads they have in England, France or Italy what a para dise it woul 1 b. It is the one thing we need above all others and must hnve he fore we can expect to amount to much, but I have already made this letter too long and will close by saying that to morrow we bo to Liverpool to embark on the steamer Cealric which sails from there at 5 p. m. for New York.

Andrew Ingram and Elsey Dodson are in jail here, charged with the never solved murder of Wm Dunlap id Louse Creek Josephine county. Dunlap, a hermit placer miner, was shot to give robbers opportunity to search his shack unmolested for gold supposed to be secreted there In some reap ta the killing resembled the murder of Patrick Dunn on ibe Crescent city stage road a fw months ago.

Trad ti n tias made it so. Years of the most car -lul effort by the mtnagers of the Norrs and Rowe shows to eliminate ever -thing and anything in the slightest de gree immoral or impolite in the charac ter of their exhibitions, lias at last con vinced the public generally uf the ab solute cleanliness and morality of the circus as a place of entertainment, and with such comprehensive shows as ar the Norris and Rowe mammonth menageries, museum, hipp vlrorae con -jress of trained animals and two rn circus is a source of profit and in- 8 ruction in this great consolidated in- titution. There is no longer anv ex cuse or apology lor not going to the circus. The presence of clergymen at every performance, with seldom an ex -eption, attest tit general and sensible change of consideration for the circus by the church pe- pie. But all thia does not release any one from a moral obligation to take their children to see the animals and the accompanying circus pertormatice. It is re illy not only a matter of extreme delight, to the children to see the "show", but it is a duty as well aa a pleasure on the part of the parents, relatives and friends to enable them to see it. A portion of the program of every circus is devoted to the little ones. The clever comic con ceits of the congress of clown, pretty performances of ponies great clown bears, tiny riding bears; goats anil sagacious dogs fill the fancies of the little ones to overflowing. The Norris and Rowe Greater Circus will exhibit at Roseburg, Friday, May 6th at 2 aad 8 p. m. If it is a billious attack take Cham berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and a quick cure is certain.

That the Southern Pacific has caught the spirit of improvement which is manifesiing itself in Oregon is shown in a recent public statement in which the manag ment of that system has authnritrerf the. r.w.- ,c $1,000,000 for the betterment of its lines. Of this sum, over $800,000 will be paid out for labor alone. The better ments include ballasting of track, laying of heavy steel, the replacing of wooden bridges by steel structures and the improvement of depots and grounds. Thia news will be highly appreciated by valley residents, for it shows that the Southern Pacific is bringing its Ore gon lines up to the highest standards of the present day railroad as fast as pos sible, and that a vast amount of money is being spent in wtstern Oregon for thia purpose which will substantially benefit our section, aside from the per manent betterment cf our railroad. With the purpose of noting the re quirements of the lines, officials of the company wi.l leave Ashland by special train today on a tour of general inspec tion of the system. Yesterday E. A.
