Springfield, Mass.
TWENTY-FOUR HOUR RACE

LEADvILLE, Colo, September 25.--
There is danger ahead In the situation.
The mine managers and citizens gen.
orally are determined to wipe OUT the
tough element. The strikers realize
now that they are outlaws and have
disappeared from the streets. They
are believed to be secreted in the hills.
where they are banded together. with
no thought of surrender. The inno-
cent sufferers from the strike are likely
to become desperate, also, since they
realize that their jobs are likely to go
to outsiders. Nearly every business
man in the CITY joined one of the mill
tia companies which were organized
last night. Guns and arms for 800
men arrived to-day.
Governor McIntire has so arranged
that in case of a riot, after the militia
leaves, martial law can be declared
immediately. The home troops will
take care Of the situation. The city
and county jails and guard house are
full of strikers. The search for arms
continues. The mines will open i'm
mediateIy with imported labor. Three
hundred men are expected to arrive to-
night.

probable Fusion In Utah.

SALT LAKE. Utah, September Pa
While the democratic state convention
is in progress at Provo City, to-day, a
state convention Of the independent re-
publican siverites is in session here.
1t is probable that the republican silver
men will iuse with the democrats so tar
as the electoral ticket is concerned,
while in return the democrats may en-
dorse an independent republican for
congress. The republican convention
will be held at Ogden on Saturday,
and will nominate Mckinley and Ho-

New York Supreme Court Orders the Coll,
tion of Peculiar Assessment.

NEW YORK, N. Y, September 25.--
An unpleasant surprise awaits the tens
of thousands of people who at any
time within the last six years have held
policies in the defunct United States
Mutual Accident association. 1t is in
the form of an assessment Of $12 for
each $4,000 policy IN force for any
portion Of the period from October,
1890, to the retirement of the assocla-
tion from business, no matter how linn
tied the period during which such
policy was in free. The assessment
has been ordered by the supreme court.
Thousands of these policies are held in
the west and southwest, and In at
tempting to collect the assessment, Re-
ceiver Henry w. Gray, is likely to re.
alize that he has struck the work OF his
life. Wholesale resistance to the col.
lection is anticipated.

A misanthropic father one time
brought up a son in entire seclusion
from all womankind. When man
hood approached he led the boy out
through the world on a tour of OBJ
servation and described to him the
various creatures they met. As they
went, there came tripping along the
path sweet young girl, swinging her
hat and smiling from the very glee of
existence. Father, "said the start
led youth, "what animal is that?"
"My son." said the father, 'that is a
very silly and dangerous creature
called a goose" When this myth
cal tour was completed the father
was curious to know which creature
the boy would like to have for pet.
He instantly blurted out, Father,

What an Editor Does.

The experience of the editor Of the
Wichita Eagle is the experience Of
many editors everywhere. Referring
to the recent departure of a former
we'll known citizen, and of the favors
the editor had done for him, the
Eagle in part says:
As for anything else, the Eagle is
magnamimous if it is anything. It
never crows over fallen foe, and is
even disinclined to boast we'll earned
victories. Its editor has condoned
more outrageous offenses of traitorous
friends and Of avowed enemies against
himself than any editor in the state;
has served men after they had done
everything in their power to defeat
him, and destroy his paper; has
praised public men year in and year
out in the interest of harmony and
the party when such men were all the
while maligning him personally and
plotting against his paper; has never
permitted personal grievance to
withhold commentator for those who
deserved it IN the estimation of the
public, all that and much more in the
same direction; and when they have
departed has either bid them "God
speed" or held his peace; but, no
paper, editor or politician, on the out
side, can misrepresent either Wichita
or the Eagle with impunity.

Many an old farmer makes hay in
the country while his son shines in
the city.
There is no denying the truth-the
farmers are very much discouraged
and the outlook is gloomy.
Train loads of cattle continue to
arrive from the west, and the whoop
of the cowboy and the rattle of his
spurs make this country seem like
the "wild and woolly west" again.
A Cimarron woman conducts q
business of her own, keeps all the
money she maSes, and makes her
husband foot all the grocery and dry
goods bills, and she is not "woman
rights woman" either.
County Superintendent, Miss Mol
lie Land, informs us that the Gray
county Normal Institute will begin
on July oath this year and continue
four weeks. Prof. J. M. Colburn of
Scranton, and Prof. ". T. Clark of
Emporia, will be the conductors.
The chickens shipped from Cowley
county to New Mexico and Ari-

more money than their wheat crops,
and the hen and her products will be
given more attention in the future.
