Their Pockets For Him—Offices Can

Ukiah, Cal., July 17.—At 4 o’clock
yesterday afternoon a telephone mes-
aage was received at the sheriff 'a office
in this city to the effect that the
stage from Ukiah to Blue Lakes, as
well as one to Potter Valley, had been
held up and the passengers robbed.
The two stages left this city on
schedule time. The road to Potter
valley diverges from te road to Blue
lakes about five miles north of Ukiah,
and it was just before they reached
the forks that the highwayman,
masked with a handkerchief, sprang
into the road in front of the first ve
hicle and ordered the driver to stop
Burt Bucknell was in charge of the
Blue Lakes stage, and Raymond
Hill sat on the box of the Potter Val
ley stage. The robber then ordered
the passengers, 18 in number, to
alight and line up.
They were *11
tourists on their way to surrounding
resorts, and they complied with ex
ceeding promptness. The highway
man was a jolly fellow, and had con
siderable fun with his victims while
they were engaged in emptying their
pockets. About $400 was deposited
in a nice little pile by the roadside.
The drivers were then ordered to
move on, and the passengers warned
that if they valued their personal
safety they should refrain from look
ing back. One of the passengers who
had something like $200 in gold in
his pocket dropped the coin in the
dust while the attention of the rob
ber was distracted, and covered it up
with dust. He went to Potter and
then returned and found the money.
The scene of the robbery is a deep
canyon, heavily wooded and broken.
It is nearly midway between this city
and Lake Port, and from its character
afforded excellent opportunities for
the escape of the bandit.
Sheriff Smith and deputy have just
returned from the scene of the hold
up. No clew was discovered. A few
half dollars were fonud in the road
where the Blue Lakes stage stood.
They were evidently dropped by pas
sengers as they were waiting to be re
lieved of their coin.

THE QUELPART UPRISING.
It May Lead to Foreign Intervention—Messrs.
Conger and Rockhill Congratulated.
Washington, July 18.—Full mail
reports that reach Washington re
specting the recent uprising on the
Corean island of Quelpart say that it
is not improbable that the appearance
on the scene of the trouble of two
French gunboats and one Japanese
warship may lead to foreign interven-
! tion. If the islanders persist in their
i rebellious attitude it will be dfficult
for the Corean government to put it
1 down without foreign asistance. The
French minister at Seoul reports that
the employment of native Catholics
to collect exhorbitant taxes caused
the natives to persecute their breth
ren.
It is new apparent from reports
which have reached the state depart
ment from China that it was solely
due to the moderation and humanity
I exercised by the United States repre
sentatives in Pekin by the presidents’
direction in the early negotiations for
a settlement of the Boxer trouble that
a number of innocent lives were not
I sacrificed. These reports show that a
more sober and painstaking inquiry
1 has developed the fact that some of
the Chinese officials suposed to have
l»een connected with the Boxer out
rages, whose capital punishment was
demanded by the foreign ministers,
have been proved to be entirely in
nocent of the charges made against
them. In many other cases proof has
been adduced that the offenses with
which the Chinese officials were
charged were not nearly so grave as
was supposed at first by the foreign
representatives in Pekin.
It is re
garded here by officials as a matter
for congratulation that Messrs. Con
ger and Rockhill moved with deliber
ation and acted as a restraining influ
ence in the matter of punishment, for
not only were these lives saved, but,
under their influence, the whole list
of capital punishments was reduced
from 10 to four, and mitigation of
other offenses was obtained.
YUKON GOLD SHIPMENTS.
Five Million Dollars Have
Been Sent to the
Outside This Year.
Seattle, July 18.—Advices from
Dawson under date of June 28 state
that the gold shipments to the out
side this year have amounted to $5,-
000,000 to date. Over $3,000,000 of
this sum went down the Yukon and
is going out by way of St. Michael
and the remainder has gone up the
river. The Bank of British North
America is this year shipping down
the Yukon, and the Canadian Bank
of Commerce is shipping in the oppo
site direction.
These are the only
two banks doing business in the camp.
Individuals taking out dust nearly all
go by the upper river route. Seattle,
as in the previous years, is this year
the destination of the greater portion
of the gold.
The Alaska Pacific Express is the
only express company in the field,
and is taking out practically all the
shipments of consequence by the up
per rivor. It ships on the White Pass
& Y’ukon Railroad Company’s steam
ers.
The express rate from Dawson
to Seattle, on individual shipments
above $1,000 in value, is \ of 1 per
cent. Banks are given lower rates.
This charge covers insurance in full
against loss by sea, river steamer or
robbery, in other words, the full jour
ney from Dawson to Seattle.
The
rate on individual shipments last year
was Ji of 1 per cent higher than this
year.
News has just been brought from
the mouth of the Hootalinqua river
by steamer that a placer strike has
been made on Lake creek, tributary
to Lake Teslin, the source of the
Hootalinqua. No particulars have
been received here as to the nature
of the diggings or the amount of gold
obtained.
Hams, potatoes, cream, and all
kinds of fruit are selling in Dawson
at exceedingly low rates, and traders
are losing money. Cherries, peaches,
apples and other fresh fruits are plen

Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 18.—The
strike order of President Mulcahey,
of the Stationary Firemen’s associa
tion of Pennsylvania, was promptly
obeyed at 7 o’clock this morning,
when 900 members of the organiza
tion in this state refused to go to
work. Most of the strikers are em
ployed as firemen at the coal mines,
and their failure to report for duty
caused nearly all the collieries in the
anthracite region to suspend opera
tions, throwing out of work, it is esti
mated, 30,000 men and boys.
Some
of the individual coal operators con
ceded the demands of the employes
on the condition that the short-lkour
day was not to hold if the men em
ployed by the big companies did not
get the same concession.
The big
coal companies, however, did not
make any concessions. The officials
claimed that the demands of the men
were unreasonable.
The strikers held a meeting in this
city shortly before noon.
Reports
were received from all districts, and
they showed that the strike fiom

county was general, and that the coal
companies were unable to secure new

V’uytng Worn-Out Farm«,
Nine men out of ten who have passed
through the struggles of handling a
worn-out farm, paying Interest on a
mortgage and getting from It a living
for a family, would certainly advlae
the young farmer against taking such
a farm. Except In rare cases, the best
profits from farming come from the
small farm so manipulated that each
foot of ground yields the largest possi
ble results..and, many times, more than
one crop. With this sort of farming
there can be a concentration of cnpltal,
energy and materials not possible with
one who feels It necessary to buy a
worn-out farm.
Mines For Farm Horse«.
Farm horses should go barefooted
until there Is a necessity for shoeing
to preserve the hoof. Like farm boys,
they should wear no shoes except on
sjieclal occasions until they are about
14 years old. Many horses can serve a
lifetime on the farm without being
shod.
