On Friday afternoon, 200 striking
miners, Poles and Hungarians,
were marching from Hazleton, Pa,
to Latimer to get the miners there
to go on strike, as they had sue.
ceeded at Hazeleton. Sheriff Mar
tin, with seventy deputies, inter
cepted, read the riot act and asked
them to dispense. He claims they
attacked him, when ne ordered the
deputies to fire. A voiley from
guns was poured into the foreigners,
and number were killed and a
larger number were wounded. A
stampede ensued. The sheriff is
condemned for acting too hastily,
but there is not a more unruly and
stubborn people on earth than that
class OF foreigners. They are Tor
defying law and running things to
suit themselves. But they have
their rights under the law and
should not be shot down as if they
were dogs.

1t is told Of Jesse James and his
gang that they once stopped at the
house Of poor widow and ordered
dinner, while on raiding tour in a
certain locality. After the widow
had hustled around and gotten. up
the best dinner possible she told
Jessie she was in trouble, that the
mortgage on her farm was due that
very day, and the man would be
there in few hours to turn her out
if the money was not forthcoming.
The great bandit asked how much it
was and handed her the $500.
The man came, received the money
and released the mortgage, but had
not gone far on his return trip
when he was told to throw up lis
hands" Jesse not only took the
1900 but all the money and valua-
bles he had on his person and rode
away with a contented and very
happy smile on his face.

BE TRUE.

A young man should know at the
very outset of his business career
that he can afford anything else bet
i ter than to be dishonest. Any ap-
parent success resulting from dis
honest methods is short-lived and
deceptive, and is at the cost of i'm
1 portant future advancement. There
is plenty of hard work in any de-
partment Of life. Know that fact
and submit to it manfully Engage
in that employment for which your
training and tastes have fitted you
and at all times do your level best
in it. Be independent and true to
principle and be courteous to all
men. Live within your income,
choose well your associates and
never indulge in recreation of
which you can never be ashamed.
Let whisky drinking, gambling,
card playing, and bad women Sc.
verely alone. Be satisfied to rise
gradually but strive to rise contin-
uously. And never lose an oppor>
tunity to learn all things that may
be needed in the highest depart
ment of your business.

Since the passage of the Dingley
bill the price of watches has gone
up about Is per cent, which means
that from 81 to S. has been added
to the cost Of the average watch to
the purchaser. This will evidently
be another blow at the retail watch
trade, which, it is claimed, las sui
fered much through the bicycle
business. Formerly when there
was any particular occasion for a
gift, boy or girl was given a watch,
whereas now ii is a bicycle, With
a little more D;ngleyism the watch
business might be made a back

A CAUSE CELEBRE.

A case has been on trial ID CHI
cago for the past two months,
which is likely to become cause
celebye in the criminal annals of
that city notorious for mysterious
murders. Luetgert, a wealthy sau-
sage manufacturer, is the defend
ant. lie stands charged with the
murder of his wife. lnfatuatlon
for his servant girl is the motive
assigned. The corpus deficit has
not been shown. 1t is evident,
however, that Mrs. Luetsert dis
appeared very mysteriously Oh a
certain date i'll May and has new
er since that time re appeared at
the Luetgert mansion.
The theory Of the prosecution Is,
that Luetgert induced her
to accompany him on the
date Of her disappearance
to the mandatory, where she vas
murdered, thrown into the vat and
reduced, not to sausage, bnt to
ashes, through the action of chem
icais. Bones, sad to have been
found in the va: have been intro
duced in evidence, but as the ex-
perts have been unable to agree
as to whether they were those OF Il
human being or an animal, it is
not probable that they will have
much influence i'll shaping the yer
dict of the jury. The defense con.
tends that the accused had lost
heavily in various ventures and
was virtually bankrupt. That his
wife had knowledge Of his tinan
cial embarrassment and did NOT
have the nerve to face poverty, at.
ter having enjoyed for years all
that riches could confer. That
she left home in IL fit of mental alb
erration, is still living, in fact, sew
eral parties claim that they have
seen her in Wisconsin and Other
places, since her disappearance
But these parties have not beer
produced Oh the witness stand
1t is qnite probable that Luetger
murdered his wife in the manner
and for the reason alleged by tht
prosecution and the jury may 81
believe, but it is doubtful if tn
evidence is legally sufficient tt
convict him.

MONEY Observation-Disclosures
McL,urin has appointed Congress
man Il. d. Money to fill the va
cancy in the U. s. Senate caused
by The death of the late Senator D..
z. George. MIR. Money has repre-
scented the Fourth District of Mis-
sissippi in the Nth, 10Th, 4Gth
41th, 4Sth, 53rd and 54th Con-
crosses. He had also at the last
regular meeting of the Legislature
been chosen to succeed Senator
George for the full term beginning
March 4th 1899. The impression
has prevailed that the Governor
was somewhat antagonistio to Mr..
Money, but his appointment shows
that either no foundation exists
for it or the Governor has conclud
ed, that being the choice Of the
