FIRED FOR HEARING DEBs.
Miners Who Attend His Meetings
are Promptly Discharged.

Fairmont, W. Va, July 22--Eugene "
Debs today issues the following state
ment over his signature:
I'm yesterdays papers there appeared
an alleged interview with me which L de-
sire to repudiate as wholly untrue from
beginning to end. No such interview was
had, and no such statements as were as
cribed to me, were made. The SAID al.
legged interview is tissue of falsahooIs
made in order to serve a purpose which
readily suggests itself. L understand the
same interview was telegraphed - Chi
cago and other points. I am entirely
satisfied with the situation and believe
the cause of the miners will be crowned
with success
President Ratchford, who arrived ar Ii
o'clock from Columbus, also rep1dia1es
the Debs interview and says it PIE
pared on the influence of the other side
and had for it's intention the dissension
and weakening of the miners cause.
President Ratchford also has two dis
patches received from Montgomery, this
state, which say that the men are out in
five colleries in that territory. When ask
ed about Dolan, he said he had gone to
De Arnftt's mines and that he will tie the
men up there in a few days.
Il don't know how he means to do it,"
Ratchford continued, but Dolan is man
of determination and seldom utters idle
words. He generally does exactly what
he says he will" He says the Kansas
men have postponed their action but his
private advices are that they will act in
side of ten days. When they act, Iowa
and Missouri will follow
Ratchford says Gompers will send organ
izers Immediately and that assessments
among the men will pay their expenses.
This morning the miners who attended
the Debs meeting at Watson last night
were discharged. Only eleven men there
have Joined the union. Twenty-seven at
West Fairmont organized last night, maxi
ing 347 union men in the district.

ARMED WITH CHAIRS.
Girls at the Missouri Industrial Home
Battle With the Authorities

Chillicothe, Mo-, July 22-Thirteen girls
in the state industrial home defied the au-
thorities of the institution today, and a
riot ensued. When the girls were ordered
to march from Marmaduke cottage to the
school room they revolted, under the
leadership of an incorrigible named Frey,
from st. Joseph, who asserted that it
was too hot to study.
Aiming themselves with chairs, the girls
defied the women officials and when
Waterman Robinson and Gardener Smith
were called in a general fight with chairs
ensued. The men and several of the girls
were painfully bruised.
In the meantime the local police had
been telephoned for and the appearance
of the blue coats put the girls to flight.
Several jumped from windows in their eff
forts to escape but all were captured and
locked up in the dark cells of the institu-
ton. The real cause of the trouble is
said to have been whisky which is sup
posed to have been struggled in by plumb
ers working in the buildings.

WHITE BOW BABY TIES
For Everyone of the streetcar Motor
men and Conductors.

Not many days ago a daughter was
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Stitt. Now
it is the we'll established custom among
motormen on such occasions, for the
fortunate father to treat his friends,
and the custom will be duly observed
in this instance. Mr.. Stitt is the trans
fer man for the City railway, and all
the motorneers and conductors are
patiently waiting for the customary
box of cigars to be sent around, but
there is a little surprise in store for
them. Stitt proposes to change the GUS
tom this time and give them more
lasting souvenir. THAT is the incest
baby that was ever BORN said Frank
this morning "and we are all proud
of her. I am having II dozen white
bow ties made, out of the same material
as her first dress is made of, and each
one of the boys on the railway will
get one. You see, some of the boys
don't smoke and a box of cigars would
hardly be the proper thing, but they
can all wear a tie. The ties will be
done in a few days and when you see
the boys wearing those ties just re-
member that they are celebrating for
that new baby of mine"
