Mr.. Frank Sureau had a singular
experience last week. He bought a
fine animal at the auction sale of hor-
ses ana placed the mare in his yard at
night with a feeling of supreme salts
faction, at the thought of the great
bargain he had made.
But the next morning his satisfac-
ton turned into bitter disappointment
when he discovered that some thief
had stolen his mare in the night. A
search fortunately resulted in finding
the missing animal up the bayou neal
the refinery. 1t is supposed that some
one had taken her to ride that far.

1t might have been more serious,
but as it was, they were all badly
scared. No one can tell how it hap
peDed, but they know that the oil
stove in C. H. Champagne's oyster
saloon somehow caught fire. Mr..
Frank Hoffman,, Jr. in endeasoring
to throw out the oil can, got some oil
on his clothes, which ignited. Fortu-
nately Mr.. Roger, a by stander, and
others put the fire out before any in
jury resulted to him. The proprietor
of the saloon had one hand painfully
but not seriously burned and Jake
Levy is said to have sustained slight
injury. and, as remarked above, all
were frightened out of their wits.

Forced Upon Unwilling Ears at tho Tu-
neral Of the Dead Striker william Rett-
ger.
CLEVELAND, O., July 5.--The funeral
of William Rettger, the striker killed
at the Brown hosting works, was the
most imposing funeral pageant ever
There has been but one occasion when
there was larger procession and
Egreater crowds. The funeral of Gar
field To-day, by actual count. 1.a0O
men formed the funeral cortege. The
funeral services were held in the
Church of the Immaculate Conception.
A conservative estimate places the
number of spectators about the church
and along the line OF march to the
cemetery at 100000. The procession
moved quietly, and, save for the dirges
played by the many bands, no sound
save the tread of feet, broke the quiet.
The white casket in which reposed
the remains was literally buried in
flowers. Mgr Thorpe, in the course
OF his sermon. said:
Human passion Is strange, and the
lesson to-day teaches that we many
times go beyond our strength, and
that there is no way to reason against
human passion. The lesson we must
learn to-day Is that in society
there are two classes, capitalist and
wage-earners. Next to capital there
is the strong right arm of labor. One
cannot exist without the other The
capitalist has a right to manage his
capital. He has the right under the
laws of the state and nation. He
makes hazardous ventures, and on ac-
count Of the risks in business has
the right to doas he chooses. He may
abuse that right and forget God in his
enjoyment of his riches. II he does,
there Is remedy, but 1t does not lie
in passion or violence. The remedy is
public sentiment and the law. There
Is another class. not banded together
MS you are. They have their individ-
ual rights and those who administer
the law must protect them. Scenes
have been enacted during the past
week which should never have oc-
CURED. These men who have become
victims of your hate have rights un-
der the law
He continued at some length to score
the strikers for the scenes of violence.
After the funeral the sermon was
roundly denounced by many.
The troops are still under arms and
grave trouble may yet ensue.

Where He Thinks Tie Can Discharge His
Campaign Duties to Better Advantage.


Campaign Duties to Better Advantage.
CANTON, O., July Q. -Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Maj Mckinley has
decided to remain at home u is sum
mer, he received letters to-dsy from
many towns between Canton and Bos-
ton asking him what day and what
hour he expected to pass through them
on his way to Roxbury, where it has
been rumored he would spend fort
night with his cousin, Col. Osborn.
Mai. Mckinley said to-day that he
felt no need of rest, and that such be-
ing the case, he thought he could dis
charge the manifold duties incident to
the campaign which fell to his lot to
better advantage hcre than elsewhere.
People are still coming here in large
numbers to visit Maj Mckinley, and
there will be many hundred callers
this week and as many next. Inst
week 1000 people from out of town
called upon him in a single day.
The mail yesterday morning brought
to Maj. Mckinley another great pile
OF letters congratulating and compli-
menting him upon his speech which
he made to the committee which con-
veyed to him the official notification
of his nomination.
Plans for the conduct Of the eimpend-
Ing campaign are rapidly maturing
rapidly but not hurriedly. The
work Of the campaign will not be
formally commenced until the demo-
cratic platform has been adopted, and
the democratic candidate is nominated.
Within a week or two after the Chi
cago convention the republicans will
open up headquarters and settle to
work very actively upon campaign
of education.
