THE DISTRICT EXCITED BY THE
THREAT TO IMPORT CHINESE

BRAIDWOOD, ILL.,, Nov. 9.-Five
hundred coal miners, who have been on
a strike since July 4. will return to
work in the Braceville mines tomor-
row morning. The men will receive
771A cents per ton, an advance of 10
cents, no rent will be collected for the
strike period, and coal will be supplied
to them at a reduction OF 80 cents per
ton Talk of importing Chinese labor
to fill the places of strikers in the 9TH
er mines of this district continues to
excite strong comment among the
strikers. Work was continued on
stockades at Carbon Hill, where, it is
said. the Chinese will be put to work.
A meeting was held tonight to elect
delegates to a general conference at
Streator tomorrow, which will deter
mine whether or not compromise will
be accepted, similar to the one at
Braceville. w. D. Ryan, state secre-
tary of the mine workers, was present,
and read a telegram from his represen-
tative at Springfield, saying that Gov.
Tanner would prohibit the importa-
ton of Chinese labor. This message
had a cheering effect throughout the
district and the feeling among the
English speaking miners is that there
would be no serious trouble.

will be unable to supply the necessary
men. The officials of the goal company

BLAMEs HOFFMAN, FOR IT.
Senator Hessin Talks Of the Agricul
tural College Muss.

Senator John E. Hessin, OF Manhat-
tan, in an interview concerning the
Populist outrage in Diminishing the
State Agricultural colleges leading
faculty members because of politics,
throws some new light on the matter.
He says:
$50 far as the faculty was con-
cerned, there was no politics in the
institution. 1t is true that passes
were supplied to Republican students
desiring to 60 home to vote, and il is
equally true that the Populists were
not so favored The members Of the
faculty however did not even know
about it.
"We, in town, attended to that.
Students from the college attended
the political meetings in town and it
was easy to secure their cooperation
in reaching the others.
"The attack on the professors was
entirely personal and Mr.. Hoffman
was back OF it. He at one time had
two sons in the college but they were
both expelled for some trouble with
Professor Mason, who had charge Of
the department Of horticulture. One
apologized and was taken back. The
other refused to apologize and did
not return.
at is interesting to note that Pro-
fessor Mason was the only member Of
the faculty released for general inef-
iciency. He was not inefficient in
horticulture, but in the management
Of Hoifman's boys. That would hard
ly class as horticulture.
"If that bill to reorganize the state
university board Of regents had
passed, he continued, "they would
be having very much the same sort Of
time down there, ! suppose"

ANOTHER BARN BURNED.
G. G. Huffman Meets With q Loss in
the Night.

1
The large barn at the home Of G.
&. Huffman on West Third street
caught fire mysteriously about one
o'clock Thursday a. M. and burned to
the ground. No alarm was given and
few knew it until morning. The
night was still and the family had no
knowledge Of the fire until it was well
under way. Mr. Huffman is east with
stock and his wife thinking from the
smoke rolling around the house that
the house was on fire gathered the
children and prepared to leave. When
she found it was the barn it was too
late to save anything Neighbors liv-
ing within block did not know Of it
until morning. With the barn were
destroyed horse, cow, a number Of
pigs, double carriage, buggy, harness,
feed, etc.
No clew is yet known to the origin
OF the fire but it is supposed that
tramps may be responsible. The
loss is a serious one and all will be
sorry that George has such bad luck.
Insurance on barn $500, none on
contents.

Oriental Entertainment.

INDEPENDENCE, Kas, April 10,

his oriental entertainment to large
audience at the Christian church last
night, Those present were delighted.
The entertainment is very instructive
and the wit and humor which Mr..
Behannesey can command makes it
highly entertaining as well. He has
won place in the affections Of the
people Of our church and city and
should he return again it is quite
probable that there is not a church in
the city large enough to contain the
people who desire to attend.

Ruy Of Home Dealers.

A sample case Of buying from trav-

ELECTORS attention today. A woman
living in town purchased from an
itinerant spectacle man pair Of sup
posedly solid gold glasses, paying 50
for same. They proved to be only
filled ones worth about ". 1t would
seem that sometime people would
learn to buy their goods only from re-

From Wednesdays Daily. I


The jury in the case Of state VS..
James McNaspy was out but a short
time last evening, returning verdict
of guilty Of forgery. The case was
the one in which H. Wendlandt
charged McNaspy with raising note
from $50 to $3.50 and the complaint
alleged injury to and intent to defraud
only Wendlandt. The defense claimed
that there was no intent to defraud
Wendlandt but only to borrow mora
money by discounting the note at the
bank, as of course Wendlandt could
not be compelled to pay a forged note
As the intent to defraud the bank
was not charged it is probable that
the case will be appealed on this
ground.
This morning the case of the state
vs.. G. W. Wright, liquor case of
long-standing, from Enterprise, came
to trial. This is one OF the cases
brought by Mrs. L. A. Case as chief
prosecuting witness. The defense
was represented by G. F. Mead as at
torney and the entire forenoon was
occupied with the trial.
The evidence was directed mostly
against Robert Quilting who is also
charged with liquor selling and an eff
for. was made to connect Wright with
him, evidence being presented to show
that Wright once testified in civil
case that he and Quilting were in
partnership. The closing arguments
were made after dinner.
The McNaspy case in which R. c.
Schlessner is complainant was next
on trial. In this it is charged that
McNaspy raised note also and the
objects are stated to be that he in
tended to defraud Schlessner and the
bank to which he sold the note and to
obtain money under false pretenses.
The liquor cases from Abilene are
next on the docket, two being set for
Friday and one for tomorrow.
The jury in the Wright case return
ed at s O'Clock Wednesday evening,
reporting that it could not agree on
verdict and were discharged. The
jury stood, it is said, six for convic-
ton and six for acquittal.
