Why the Difference at Altman on Free Coinage Union Arrests
Last Friday midnight in Altman Cols, 200 soldiers raided a Free Coinage Union meeting and seized seven prominent district members. A guard ring protected the place, and all men leaving faced forced examinations. No charges were stated, and all three executive committee members remain in the guard house. Others linked to the strike are jailed, while manufacturers or rail interests seem to act freely. Afterward, representatives were treated well, prompting the lingering question why the disparity exists.

Legislative Trick Keeps Printer In Office Until 1906
The legislature, after denying Ed Hoch and electing George A. Clark, enacts a constitutional amendment aiming to let the people elect the state printer. The measure, however, keeps the current printer until a successor is chosen and, if the amendment passes, delays public election of a printer until 1906, keeping Clark in place until January 1907. Cy Leland is blamed for the maneuver and the anti-Leland faction plans to press for a 1906 printer election.
