Absolute prohibition did not furnish

DR., Spear therefore argued IN favor of

The Wild MAJ Of the Woods.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, August l2.-The peo-
pie of Oldham County are much excited
over the antics of wild man who is
roaming about through the woods He
first made his appearance about sixteen
miles from this city couple of weeks
ago, and since that time he has been
frightening the women in farm
houses in the county. The fellow is
mad as Il March hare, and his mania
seems to be of violent kind. He thinks
the telephone is sending him all over the
country and that it ordered him to kill
and burn, He has made efforts to fire
several barns and farm houses. The
man is described as being about fifty
years old, pale, well-dresSed, and ema-
ciated by exposure and hunger. He says
his name is John Mcclure. The farmers
are all excited and fear some trouble will
result from his being allowed to run at
large.

COAL MINERS IN A NEW ROLE.
They Set up as Missionaries and Preach
the Gospel of Strike.


the Gospel of Strike.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, August PA phe-
nomenai expedition started for the Mo-
nonanghela upper pools yesterday morn
ing, to use moral suasion upon the coal
miners and induce them to desert the
mines until the standard price is paid.
Various attempts have been made, but so
far have been futile. So a grand persua-
siye assault was determined upon
and a circular was issued
calling upon the strikers to
meet at the siX.mie ferry. Several
miners gathered on the steamer Gumbert,
and the boat proceeded up the stream.
Each man carried provisions to last sew
eral days. The Gumbert's missionaries
will be dropped off at various points and
set up tents. BY association with the
miners and using arguments they hope to
induce the men to quit. The first stop
will be at Woods Ran mines. The cX-
petition is under the care of President
Costello.

THE DENVER TRIBUNE.
Il is Absorbed by the Republican in
the Interest of Senator Hill
and Others.

DENVER, Col, August l2.-The Den
yer Tribune has been absorbed by the
RemJiicaR, and the Emancipation
was issued this morning by the Repu5i-
en- Publishing Company, which has in
creased its capital stock to $500, 600. c.
+, r. Hayward, managing editor OF the
Republican for over year, has charge
OF the new paper. Charley Gleed, who
gave up the Advertising depart
ment OF the Santa Fe Road four
months ago to edit the Tribune, will re.
turn to the road probably, as it is not be-
lieyed that j. c, Henry, late owner of the
1ri-iHe, will care to dabble further in
journalism, after losing the money he
has. This newspaper deal places the
most powerful Republican newspapers of
the State in the hands of Senator Hill
and Henry and Ed Wolcott, who
owned the Republican. The new
paper will support Hill for
reelection and one OF the VOL
colts for Governor, against Bill Hamul
and ex-senator Tabor, who viii probably
form a combination with Chaffee, and
try to obtain the DenyerNctrS, Democratic,
as their organ. The change is the be-
ginning of the bittereSt political fight
Colorado has had since it became Il
State.
