Denver. Jan. 11—An extraordinary
con teat has started in this city, with all
the daily papers on one side and 14 of
the largest drygoods and olotbing de
partment stores on the other. No ad
vertisement# of any kind of these firms
appeared in Tuesday's paper and formal
notice has keen given that nona will
appear until the pepere accede to the
demands of the merchant*
Last week the business managers of
the dallies were informed that lbs de
partment stare combination had arbi
trarily decided that advertising r
most be reduced about 20 per cent. The
firms declined to enter into a disoutiion
of the justice of the demand, simply
stating that they had giraii their ulti
matum. Ther control about 60 per ceut
of the city advertising and believed the
papere most submit to tbeir dictation.
Tbs newspapers replied that coucc
■ion to the autocratic order waa not
only impossible for bn.iuou reasons,
bnt would destroy the independence of
the press. If the department stores
mid fix rates arbitrarily at their plea*
ore, they could likewise dictate in all
matters of policy and the papers would
become mere handbills, without influ
ence or ielf r os peat.

Kansas City. Jan. 18.—A tpeolil to
Ths Ttmu from Shawnee, O. T., says:
Trains on the Choctaw branch of the
“Frieco’’ railroad have brought to this
eity every woman and ohiid from Earls-
boro, some 200 people, near the border
of the 8emiuo!e nation. The burning
at the stake of MeGeiaey aud Simpson,
the Seminole balfbreeds, has so enraged
the Semiiioles that they have banded
together and are riding over the oooif-
try araattd Maud ana Wewoka in
wild rags, killing the slock.
A party of about 200 savages, balf
breeds aud other toughs rods into
neighborhood 18 miles sonlhoaat of
Earlaboro und began shooting through
the door, aud window, of the lionae of
a man who had recently come In from
Obia Every persnu iu the house la re
ported to be killed.
Tbe people who canie in on the train
from Earlaboro say that about 10 o’clock
Taewiej a regular pitched battle oc
curred and that three families were
killed. There is a general uprising.
Messengers have been sent to tbe mil
itary statbiu demanding immediate aid
and protection.
Tho people at Mnnd have engaged
wagons to take children aud women
ont of tbe conn try'under armed horse
men. No names of the killed oould be
learned. The train officials say there it
serious trouble and some whites ha-
been killed, bnt tbe stories of the people
leaving are probably exaggerated.
Suppressed excitement prevails over
tbe meager report* from th* Indiau
Territory of the uprising of the Semi
nole* Nothing more definite than the
statement that 160 reds had started ou
tbe warpath from Karl.boro; that they
were killing ail the whites they met.
and that the whites were alarmed and
harrying tbeir families on: of tue couu-
try bae beeu received.
Although many stories, which were
not borne uot by the facet, had previ
ously been circnlatod from the terri
tory, so persistent have been the rumors
that ths Seminole* would avenge the
burning of two of their number that
confirmed reports are awaited with fear
and dread.
Indian Territory is settled principally
by whites from this pert of tbe south
west, and tbs aoxiaty of their friends
and relatives here may easily be im
agined.
Information received here from Okla
homa City is td Che effect that 100 armed
citizens have started from that place
for Earlaboro bn a special train to head
off tbe Semlndles and prevent a repeti
tion of tbe Mand postoffice massacre.
