COLORADO MINE TROUBLES.
Six lien Placed Under Arrest at
Leadville Yesterday.

LEADVILLE (Col), Aug. 25.-Six
men were arrested this morning at the
instance of the manager of the Coro-
nado mine. They are Morris Jones,
Charles Lindstrum, William Rule, Tom
Connors, James Quigley and Richard
Owens. 1t is charged that they have
been in the habit of standing outside the
big fence surrounding the mine and
watching everybody who goes in. They
stopped a man named Charles Taven,
who was about to enter the gate, and
upon searching him found a letter in
his possession from the manager to the
superintendent instructing the latter to
put the bearer at work at 50 80 per day
The men warned him to leave town, and
he promised to do so. Instead, he went
directly to the manager and told his
story. The arrests followed.
The men were taken before Justice of
the Peace Grant but the case before
Justice Grant was dismissed by the Dis
trict Attorney ana the men were
brought before Judge Over, who held
them in $500 bail each.
Judge Over made the following an
nouncement from the bench: Il de-
sire to reiterate what l have before
stated, that law and order must prevail
in Lake County; that all it's courts are
open for the redress of grievances, and
the process of any and all of them runs
unobstructed anywhere in the county.
While | have no complaint to make
against any of the lower courts, this
court will remain in continuous ses-
sion, in order that those persons who
wish to do SO can make their original
complaint in this court
The Citizens Committee appointed to
arbitrate the differences between the
miners and their employers reported to-
day that their conference with the
had not amounted to any,
thing, and they had given up the idea
of doing anything more. The mine
owners expect to make test with the

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
Proceedings of the Supreme Lodge
Meeting at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 25.-The Su-
preme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias
met in the new Pythian Temple this
morning. There were present 130 Su-
preme Representative and twenty-five
Past Supreme Chancellors The latter
may sit with the Supreme Lodge, but
have no vote.
Mayor McKisson addressed the lodge
and presented the keys of the city OF
Cleveland. Supreme Chancellor Ritchie
accepted in a hearty speech.
The annual report of the Supreme
Chancellor was then given out The
number of subordinate lodges at the
beginning of the year was given as
6,494, an increase of 1876 since December
81, 1898. The total membership of the
order January 1st was 434 $50 an in
crease of 20,924 in the two preceding
years.
Touching on the question of establish
ing the order in foreign lands, he said:
Il have had applications from England,
Germany, Austria, West Indies and
Central America. I may say that the
selfishness, the exclusiveness of the
people of other lands would tend to
promote the growth of this American
order. We are great enough, with
enough to do at home
Regarding the Catholic question. he
says: Our position is well-defined,
and it is d matter to be disposed of en-
tirely by the individual members who
belong to the Catholic Church. The re-
suit of this, no doubt, has been a con-
siderable loss of membership. 1 have
found in a number of States where the
Catholic membership was large that we
have been visibly affected by it. But
no member of this order should be CEN
sured for following the dictates of his
conscience"
There is no equivocation in the re-
port on German rituals. He says: Our
order stands for Americanism 1t says
to those coming to our country not car
ing to know our language, not caring to
observe our laws, not caring for our GUS
toms, thrice welcome will be the ship
that carries you back to the land
whence YOU came -

servile dependence upon our enemies TO
bring it to us. (Applause.)
Our opponents say that all we need
is restoration of confidence When
ever the confidence is abroad in the
community the man who has the least
confidence gets off with the most
money daughter and applause), and 1
am very much afraid that the conf
dence man is abroad in this campaign
preaching, Have confidence and all will
be well. My friends, confidence must
have basis to rest upon. Our oppo-
nents say that unless we shape our IL
nancial policy to suit the pleasure OF
foreign nations they will not loan us
any money. Uaughter) We reply that
as long as We shape our financial poi
icy according to their pleasure we viii
always be borrowing and can never be
money loaners ourselves.
If you want to restore confidence
you have got to restore prosperity TO
the great mass of the people, and talk
as much about good property as they
believe in talking about good money.
Money can be too sood. 1t can be 50
good that you can long for it and pray
Great laughter and applause) 1 have
asserted, and / again assert, that with
out the aid of the money owning
class the gold standard would not
stand for one day in any nation under
the sun. / assert that behind the gold
standard in this country the only po-
tent force consists of those who hold
fixed investments and those who are
brokers, who provide or carry out our
bond issues.
Now, my friends. my time is up. I
must leave you to greet other people"
Mr.. Bryan then drove to the station
in time to board his train, which left at
$40 p. m
Mr.. Bryan's trip via Summit Noun
tain and Hudson was a series of ova-
tions. At both places the candidate
made short speeches in a happy vein.

NATIONAL DEMOCRACY.
r1ANY CANDIDATES FOR THE
PRESIDENTIAL MOTIVATION,
Among Them Senators Villas, Palmer
and Gray, General Bragg and
Secretary Morton.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 25.-It was
thought couple of weeks ago that
there would be no contest whatever
for the nomination by the National
Democrats, but the situation has since
taken on a somewhat different aspect.
II looked then that while it might be a
sacrifice of such nature that it would
be difficult to persuade the right kind
os man to accept the nomination. it
has since come to be regarded as such
an acceptable honor that the friends of
number of Democrats of prominence
are inclined topush their names Among
these names are: Senator Villas and
General Bragg of Wisconsin, Henry
Watterson of Kentucky, Senator Pal
mer of Illinois, Secretary Morton of Ne
braska and Senator Gray of Delaware.
Delegates from these States are in
clined to push actively the fortunes of
their favorites, and instead of being a
cut and dried affair, the convention is
not unlikely to develop a lively little
struggle upon the Presidential nomina-
ton.
The leaders here do not take kindly
to the idea that the money question is
1t must be sound not only upon the
money question, but upon all other
questions from a Democratic point of
view. They believe that it should de-
clare for a low tariff and all the usual
tenets of the Democratic faith, while
coming out with particular strength for
sound money and the preservation of
the authority and dignity of the SUI
preme Court and the inviolate preser-
vation of contract.
A force of men was put tn work at
Tomlinson Hall this morning to prepare
for the convention, and it will be sew
eral days before the work will be COM
p,eted.
A stage is being put up which when
completed will seat 400 persons The
stage seats are elevated. and upon them
the notables are supposed to sit. The
Chairman and speakers platform will
be in the center to the front, elevated
so as to command the attention of the
delegates and spectators. The seating
capacity of the hall Will be $500.

pledged to liberty regulated by law; to
equal justice to all men, of whatsoever
condition or persuasion, religious or
political; to economy; to peace and
honest friendship with all nations and
entangling alliances with none; to the
payment of debts in honest money and
the maintenance of the public faith and
indorses every act, executive, legisla-
tive and judicial, of the present Dem
ocratic national administration
1t declares that the sold dollar is now
and for more than sixty years has been
the American standard of value fixed
by Democratic statesmen, who are op-
posed to debased and fiuctuating cur
rency, and that it is the measure upon
which private and public faith has
rested and now rests, and declares un-
reservedly in favor of maintaining that
standard. 1t favors the use of silver
as currency, and the coinage and cir
culation of such quantities thereof as
can be kept at parity with gold coin
but opposes the free and unlimited
coinage of silver by the United States
Government as a measure certain to
impair contracts, disturb business, di-
minish the purchasing power of the
wages of labor, inflict irrepara BILE injury
upon commerce and industry, and fas-
ten an ineffaceable stigma upon the
financial honor of the American people.
succeeding sections demand the re-
tirement of the United States from the
ba mixing business, and the gradual re-
demption and cancellation of all United
states and Treasury notes, charging to
the "monstrous Mckinley tariff and
the McKinley-Sherman silver purchase
Act, neither of which could have passed
log rolling, money wasting Congress
without the other" denounces Repub-
lican protection as fraud and robbery
of the many for the few; declares for
tariff for revenue only; scores the Re-
publican National Convention as domi-
mated by the intriguing attorneys of
favorite interests, and the Democratic
National Convention as controlled by
agents of the silver mining interests
agitators and demagogues.
Continuing, the platform declares
'uncompromisingl in favor of the
constitutional independence of the
United States Supreme Court as one of
the three coordinate powers in this
Government" and especially commends
President Cleveland for his impartiality
in the selection of the members of this
court
Having completed the ticket as
named above, the convention adjourned

GOLD RESERVE.
Getting Close to the One Hundred
Million Mark.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. The
Treasury gold reserve declined to-day
20 $101, ,S12, 1853. The Withdrawals were
S9o,3OO. During the past three weeks
the loss of gold at San Francisco by the
redemption of legal tenders has aggre-
gated $3.500,0OO, but it is believed the
movement there has necessarily spent
its force. The Treasury Department
was to-day informed that arrange
n1ents for the further import of gold
from Europe to the extent of ST, ,15O, 900
has been perfected. 1t is said there is
now on the water bound for this coun-
try 81 100000 in gold, and Treasury
officials hope this gold on it's arrival will
soon find it's way into the Treasury.

\ we'll man can be told that he is

things. Be practical, pa'iert and
persistent in all effort to 90 some
thing. Whining and complaining IS
stale and Improbable. A growler is
a nuisance. Half Of the ills OF this
world are imaginary and the other
half exaggerated. Discomfort is a

The Kaiser's Begging Letters.

The emperor Of Germany has received
recently so many letters from children
begging for presents Of various kinds
that he has issued through the minister
Of instruction IN order to the public
schoolteachers to discourage the writ
ing of such letters by pupils, except i'll
cases Of necessity. In one mail, a few
days ago, his majesty received four let
ters from Berlin school children. One
wished a new violin to take the place
of her old one, two desired sewing ma
chimes, and fourth asked 1.-The dear
Herr Kaiser" to give her 20 cents to
buy coal. His majesty sent che of his
officers to see the various families be-
fore answering the requests.
The child who wished money for coal
was found to be the daughter of awidow
who had little or nothing, A large load
of coal was sent to her, as we'll as a
present in money. The musical child
was ordered to professor who was to
give her lessons, and if she showed
talent she was to receive the new violin.
One of the children who asked for the
sewing machine was found to belong to
q well to do family. She was told not
to repeat her offense. The other little
one, however, received promise of a
sewing machine On condition that, when
she finished her schooling, her record
proved her to be deserving Of present
fros her .mperor William II might
deplete his purse if he undertook to re-
ward all petitioners so literally as these
three. Berlin Correspondence,

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

I notice in the Dispatch that you
say that the Revs. Lybrand and Roof
buried Mr.. William T. Jumper. That
was mistake. Mr.. Jumper was q
member of one of my churches, and
as such l was requested by his fam
lily to funeralize Linn. Reys. Lybrand
and Roof being present, 1 invited
them as Christian ministers to assist
me. They did so. Yours, very re-
spectfully, A. Il. PHILLIPS
rive gladly make the above cor
rectiou. If the ministers in the
county would comply with our re-
quest to send TO this Office at their
earliest possible convenience on a
postal card, the name of deceased,
the year and date Of birth, the same
of death, the cause of death, when
and where buried, and the name OF
the officiating minister, they WILL
greatly aid us in being accurate IN
our statements and such mistakes
will be avoided. 1t is often the case
that three or four weeks elapses after
the death of person before we re-
ceive the news of it and then our
information is so meagre and uncer-
tain that the only wonder is that We
do rot make more mistakes than we
do. Please comply with our request,
kind friends.-EDITOR DISPATCH.

Arthur Young's Home For Sale.

The last of Arthur Young's race and

historic property is for sale. The orig

Bradfeld is sweet rustic spot, un-

to the park gates of Bradfield Hall is the

Tho "Wang' or King Locust.

The inhabitants Of our western states
and territories are badly mistaken If
they suppose that they live in the only
country subject to the periodical incur
sions Of locusts or "grasshoppers.
China has it's visitations Of such plaques
just as regularly and more often than
has ever Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas
or Minnesota. During the time Of such
yisitations in China the farmers only
remedy is to propitiate the wang" or
liking of the locusts," with gifts. They
believe that this wang" is a more
monstrous insect than was ever seen by
mortal eyes. His body is leagues in e1-
tent, but his wings are so transparent
that the sun shines through them with
out hindrance. Besides being Of colossal
size the king locust is Of the supernat-
ural kind of insects. He hovers over the
region Of the upper air, silently direct
ing the various swarms and controlling
all their movements in time Of migra-
tions. The Chinese also believe that If
a certain district or farm is to be laid
waste it is done under orders from the
wang" No wonder, then, that this gi-
gantic supernatural insect is prayed to
and offered all kinds Of inducements in
order to keep his minions from working
destruction. st. Louis Republic.
