For Time He Was Near Death-Now

Word was received in Topeka last

said to resemble appendicitis.
DrS. Thomas and Dean Millspaugh went
to Salina last evening and DE-. McClintock
was sent for to perform an operation, if
necessary. The doctor was at Weir City,
but he at once went to Kansas City where
a special train took him to Salina early
this morning.
Word was received this morning at
O'Clock, that Bishop Thomas was much
better and that if his strength WAS not
too much exhausted, he would, probably
recover without an operation being nee
essary. DR.. AcClintock had not yet ar

Bishop Thomas was taken sick while
at Ellsworth on Sunday, but he became
better and went to Salina where he be-

When word was received in Topeka
last evening the bishop had been un-

hope was entertained for his recovery.
Rev. Nat. Thomas of Leavenworth, the
son of the biship, is at the bedside of his
father with Mrs. Thomas.

PITTsBURG, March 6.-All negotiations

a strike involving from $4,000 to 1900
men has been ordered.
The conference committee of the
miners and owners failing to agree
demanding by the former. the operators
proposed joint convention of miners
and operators to be held in this city on
Saturday. This proposition was report
ed to the miners convention when it re-

tho strike was expected to take effect
Immediately. The delegates will return
to their homes this evening and meet
ings will be called at every point when
the strike will be announced and plans
for its prosecution will be formulated.
The miners are hopeful of winning the
strike for two principal reasons: The
first is that lake shipments of coal are
about to begin, and that the demand for
fuel will force the operators to pay the
sixty-nine cent rate. The other reason ia
that never have the miners of this dis
trict been so thoroughly organized as
now, despite the hard winter of poverty
and suffering through which they have
passed.
The strike to insure them victory must
necessarily be short one, as the treas
ury of the United Mine Workers is not
in condition to fight prolonged bat
