KNIGHTS rEMPLAR.
The Denver Conelave to be Memorable

The Denver Conclave to be Memorable
One.
DENVER, Col, Aug. Colorado
is filed with Knights Templar. The
mountains and the valleys, the pleas
ure resorts, the famous scenes, the
growing camps are overcrowded, and
the railroad beds leading to Denver
are groaning under the weight. They
are being rushed into this city at the
rate of 1000 an hour. There are fully
sc, 600 transient people in the city al
ready.
Denver is only beginning to exert it
self in order to take care of the throngs
that will arrive in the next two days.
The transformation did not come as
a surprise and while the streets are
crowded in themain thoroughfares and
all the hotels have been retained there
is no uneasiness as to the care of the
influx.
The incoming Communicates are first
escorted to the reception quarters.
There the strangers are received with
courtly welcome and are handed over
to the escortN that precedes them to
their headquarters, with band of
music leading the way.
The conclave is essentially a social
event, however, and the immense gath
ering from every state in the Union,
as well as from Canada, really owes its
popularity and success to the fact that
the knights Templar get all the fun
out of it they can. All things are au-
spieious for the splendid fulfillment of
every expectation connected with the
conciave. The weather promises to be
typical Colorado weather, as near per-
lection as the world affords.

GREAT STRIKE OF MINERS.
The soft Coal Fields of West VIRGINIA
Will BE Idle.

Will bc lOIe.
PARAMOUNT, W. VA, Aug. 9.-Yes-
terday 5000 miners in this portion of
the Monongahela Valley and the
Wheeling district began a strike to
force recognition of their labor organi.
zation. The operators throughout this
section have made hard fight against
the labor union, and they declare that
they will close their mines permanent
ly if necessary to win the struggle.
Considerable dissatisfaction EXISTS
among the union miners of the Kama
wha Valley, and it is probable that
the strike viii spread to that section,
when 10000 men will be affected.
The condition of affairs is very serious.

| could dare to raise myself up on my
! elbows and look. fourteen deer came
walking and nipping buds and grass
just like flock of sheep. Here they
came. right between me and that turk
ey. [ said, "Oh, pshaw. why didn't
you wait moment until | could get
that turkey?" As those deer did not
know | was there and We're not more
than forty steps from me, and such fine
old bucks. | said. well, if | don't get
that turkey | will take venison!" Twas
still down on the ground crawling. |
raised my hand little and brought my
gun to my face, and at the crack of my
rifle one of those old bucks fell in his
tracks. The rest of those deer were SO
surprised they just stood and gazed all
around to see where the sound came
from. AS | could not load my gun
again lying fiat on the ground, [ made
a movement and all the rest of the deer
with a whistle went bounding away
The old turkey had gone long ago.
Oh, those were days never to be for
gotten. Happy, happy days!
If had time I could tell you of a
great many stories of interest to me,
but one of the funniest sights | ever
saw in my hunts was one lovely morn
ing while | kept batch at the old mill.
The water had got TOO low to saw except
by ponds full. So. after saving until
the water was too low to saw any long
er | took my gun and started out for
a short hunt, until the pond would fill
up again. When got out in the noun
tains | heard a peculiar sound come
from over the ridge. | went carefully
along until | got so | could see little
way ahead of me two old gobblers fight
ing: they had their bills fast to each
others heads and We're just ringing and
twisting around. Their necks looked
like a big black rope twisted around
each other. | walked up in about forty
yards and set my gun down and rested
on it while | watched those birds fight.
| could have put d bullet through both
their heads if | had wanted to, but who
would have eaten those birds all bruis-
ed and heated up as they were. No,
want my game killed when they are
cool and quiet. At last one Of those
birds happened to see me. AS he did
50 it said quit and the fight was over,
and each made good time for some
other part Of the country. L. P. r.

Free Coinage.

Ed. RegiSter-Contrary to previous
intention | make these additional re-
marks on this subject only because you
and your correspondents seem to think
that | discriminate between the coinage
Of gold and silver.
In your last issue one OF your COR
respondents says: s'Perhaps the owner
Of silver should pay for its coinage,
but let gold and silver be put on an
equal footing as far as coinage is con-
cerned."
That is my position precisely stated.
We were discussing Free Silver Coin
age and perhaps l did not mention
gold, but the principle involved applies
as forcibly to gold as it does to silver.
The enormous production of silver now
and during the last few years-an enor-
nous over-p r-prOduction-has reduced its
commercial value in the market as
compared with gold, and has thus
furnished an argument for the single
gold standard advocates, against silver
as a money; but | take no stock in that
nonsense, for gold fluctuates as well as
silver and other metals according to
their production. If the silver mines
should greatly reduce their yield, and
the gold mines greatly increase theirs,
as is as likely to happen again as it
did in the past. the relative value of
silver would increase and gold decrease,
until silver would again be at a premi-
um above gold as it was not many years
ago. Let the Government go on coin
ing the two metals OF the present
weight and tineness, disrcgarding the
temporary rise or fall in the value of
the two metals from time to time. The
silver dollar is good enough for any
one, and if the nonsense about Free
Coinage were allowed to die a natural
death, as it will soon do like all polit-
ical follies, you will hear no more
grumbling about ..seventy-cent dol
lar" except amongst the handful of
monopolists who favor the single gold
standard.
| notice that in their confusion in
to free coinage our Democratic
friends in Minnesota propose to in
crease the size of the silver dollar, and
to vary its weight from time to time as
the value of silver may fuctuate :,
That would result in having. every
few years, according to fluctuations,
silver dollars of different weight, thus
necessarily recognizing them of differ
ent values Could anything be more
and absurd than such a state
of things? That is worse than the
logic of the Free Coinage Congressman
who gravely said that he was in fav or
of Free coinage and of putting enough
silver in the dollar to make it worth
dollar in the market if it made the dol

Confederate Reunion At Pctosi.

| Notwithstanding the inclement wealth
e., the Ex-Confederate reunion was
held on Tuesday as announced, and
passed off quite pleasantly. Shortly
| before noon those in attendance assem-
| bled in the circuit court room and or
ganizcd by calling Mr.. VIM. Hargus,
of Victoria, Miss, to the chair. An
drew F. Casey was chosen secretary
and H. c. Bell requested to act as as
sistant. A roster of those present was
prepared. The occasion of the gather
ing naturally revived memories and in
cidents of war times, and many anus
| ing experiences were related, for even
''grim-visaged war; has his funny side.
D.. l.. L. Hall being called upon, ad-
| dressed his comrades in a brief talk,
declaring that while they were together
as eX-Confederates they were none tho
less true and loyal citizens of the whole
Union, and the very fact that they
could meet in this capacity without eX-
citing the suspicion or jealousy of any
was the highest evidence of the SINGER
ity of this profession. That while the
ex-Confederate soldier could hold his
head erect in the conscious assurance
that he fought for his honest convic-
tions and had nothing to be ashamed of
or apologize for, he had rs conscien-
tiously accepted the issue of the appeal
to arms, and that his loyalty to the
government since he had laid down his
arms in good faith, would not suffer by
comparison with that of any other class
of citizens.
Dinner being announced all repaired
to the bountiful table spread by the
hostess of the day, Mrs. Hornsey, who
had evidently determined if toothsome
viands and tempting delicacics could
induce forgetfulness of camp privations.
this should be day of oblivion CT
short rations and empty haversacks-
and stomachs. The '.camp-followers"
are indebted to the unstinted bounty of
the hostess, that there was was enough
left to satisfy their yearning. After a
vote of thanks to those furnishing the
inspiring music that had contributed so
much to the completeness of the victory
the command fell back in good order
from the field of battle, under the
leadership of the intrepid commander,
and in the office proceeded to call the
roll, and enjoyed the intense satisfac-
ton of having every man answer to his
name, the victory having been gained
without the loss of a single man. For
this bloodless piece of strategy the
command acknowledges its indebted
ness to the military prowess of its
leader Capt. VIM. Hargus, assisted by
his able Lieutenants of the different
arms OF the service.
