WILL BE FOUR.
r. B. Kepley and Frank Leach
Will Enter the Race For
Sheriff.

The Democrats and many of the Pop
u1ists are not pleased with the action
of the committee of 200 and the Good
Citizenship federation Saturday in ask
ing Frank Stahl to run for sheriff this
fall, and the result is that there will
probably be four candidates for that
office this year. They will be:
Porter S. Cook, straight Republican.
r. B. Kepley, straight Democrat.
Frank Stahl, prohibition.
Frank Leach, independent.
The opposition to the reelection Of
Sheriff Cook had hoped that the Good
Citizenship meeting on Saturday would
select a candidate that the PoDulists
and Democrats would support, but
many of them will not vote for Stahl,
because he has always been a strong
Republican and a stiff prohibitionist- In
order that Democrats and resubmiSSion
Populists might sign Stahrs petition,
George B. Harrison got motion
through the meeting that asked him to
run, giving the committee power to
frame the petition so that in order to
sign it one would not have to declare
in favor of prohibition as the best meth
cd of handling the saloon problem.
Frank Leach is a Populist, and he
has told his friends that he intended to
run for sheriff as an independent, but
he will probably get only a part of the
Populist vote. The strong Drohibitio
Populist vote. The strong prohibition
support Stahl, while the strong resub
rnissionistS will vote for Kepley.

MINERS GROW STRONGER.
Recruits to Union From Non-Union
Forces Being Received Daily.

Pittsburg. June 26.-At the Yale and
Fleming mines there is perfect quiet
and good order, the situation having
settled down to a test of strength of
the opposing forces. Since the signing
of the agreement by the various COM
panies at the conference last week, the
miners union has been increasing ats
membership at very rapid rate.
Fifty miners were initiated at one
meeting at Yale last week. The same
success has been achieved by the union
at Fleming Some of the white men at
Yale, who are relatives of members of
the company, have thrown up their
jobs and Joined the union. The men
cleaning the roads in No so shaft at
Yale refused to go to work Saturday.
They prefer turning the shaft over to
the care of the inexperienced miners
from Alabama. So far the company at
Yale has been unable to produce very
much coal Nearly all of the miners
who are out on strike are securing
work with the companies that have rec
ognized the union. At Nelson the COM
pany has not been able to secure pos
session of all of it's houses, some of the
miners having rendered their rent and
are resisting ejectment. The J. H.
Durkee Coal company, the Hamilton
Coal and Mercantile company and the
Louis Myers Coal company signed the
agreement Saturday.

PINGREE SPEAKS OUT.
Plain Statement of His Atti-
tude Toward the President.

Detroit, Mich, June Ex-Governor
Pingree today made a statement
brought out by Washington dispatches
which quoted Secretary Alger as say
ing that Governor Pingree is for Pres
ident Mckinley, first, last and all the
time"
Said the governor:
IF Gen. Alger said that, it is his
opinion from his point of view. The
question whether 1 am for Mckinley
lies with the president. not with me.
If Gen. Alger knows that President Nc
Kinley is opposed to territorial expan-
sion and is not an advocate of the muir
ders and the destruction being visited
upon the innocent Filipinos, he has
right to say that 1 am for Mckinley If
Gen. Alger is informed that Mckinley
is opposed to trusts and to legislation
which fosters, creates, and encourages
them, and in favor of legislation to re-
strict and suppress them, then am
closer to the opinions of Mckinley than
has generally been believed.
IF General Alger is assured that Pres
ident Mckinley is nota in touch and
sympathy with the disreputable politi-
cal methods of Mark Hanna and his
friends and deprecates such leadership,
then, 1 am for Mckinley.
1.-The question of whether I favor Nc
Kinley is of no consequence in this SEN
atorial matter, but 1 am for Mckinley
in everything he does which 1 consider
right, and against everything he does
which consider wrong"

AFTER JOINTISTS.
Law and Order Citizens of Dorrance
Oppose Liquor Selling.

Dorrance, June A.-There is intense
excitement here over the joint question
resulting from recent court proceed
ings.
George Ha1be was prosecuted at the
June term of district court on eight
counts, but before the first witness was
done testifying he pleaded guilty on one
count. The other counts were dismissed
and the defendant is in Jail on a 80
days sentence. The law and order peo-
pie employed ]. c. Rupenthal to assist
the county attorney. Their names are
kept secret, as the feeling of the law
less element is very bitter. The liquor
seized by the sheriff was publicly de-
stroyed, which is a new thing in Rus
sell county. After Halbe's sentence,
complaint was made against David
Lefever in a justice of the peace court,
and it is understood that he will plead
guilty under the club room act, which
is a favorite way to evade the prohibit
tory law, when it can no longer be de-
fed openly. Judge Monroe of this dis
trict does not favor these subterfuges,
hence resort is had to Justice" courts.

MINE OWNERS COMBINE
At a Conference at Fort Scott
Decision to Fight Is
Reached.

Fort Scott, Kan, June ga confer
ence of the attorneys representing the
big four coal companies has just
closed at Colonel J. H. Richards office
here of the Missouri Coal and Mining
company, and it is understood that the
companies have decided upon a COM
bined policy against the strikers.
The injunction method was found to be
practical. md the Kansas ami Te'S.
company today followed the example of
the Missouri Coal and Mining and the
Central Coal and Coke companies and Sc
cured injunctionS restraining the miners
from interfering in any way with their
men or property. A clash with the Cher
okee county authorities over the injunc-
ton restraining the importation of ne
groes there is expected, though the coal
companies seem confident of having that
injunction finally dissolved. Colonel
Richards announced that his company
was operating it's mine with imported min
and was having no difficulty. He says
the strikers are beaten so far as his COM
panY is concerned.

farewell for the men. At no time since
the prison has been established has
it had a warden who gained the re-
spect of the prisoners to the extent
of that secured by Mr.. Lands. He
reviewed the work of his administra-
ton for the past 30 months, and talked
on prison discipline.
Their dislike of the present chief eX-
ecutive of the state was manifested in
a most peculiar manner. The prison
chaplain, in his invocation, asked for
the continued good health of the COVER

something that never before happened
in the penitentiary. This was perhaps
because the governor has declined to
listen to any appeal for relief, and that
he made promises concerning parole
without acting.

The weather bureau of the depart
ment of agriculture has issued a bulle-
tin containing the result of investiga-
tons into the extent of the damage
which lightning inf1icts in the United
States. During 1898, it appears. there
were upward of 1.S00 cases of destruc-
tive lightning strokes on buildings,
causing money loss of about one and
a half million dollars. Three hundred
and sixty-seVen lives were lost and 494
persons were more or less severely in
jured by lightning stroke. The live
stock killed by lightning during the
year were valued at $50 600. One-third
of all the cases of lightning stroke on

cinity Of wire fences. the lightning in
a large number of instances striking
the fences at a considerable distance
from the stock which were killed. The
statistics confirm the general belief
that danger from lightning is less in
