Recalling with grateful remembrance

HOW 1T WAS SETTLED.
Labor Commissioner johnson Dis
cusses Kansas Miners Strike.

Labor Commissioner Lee Johnson has
returned from Pittsburg where he spent
two weeks working among the striking
miners and the operators to bring about
a settlement of the difficulties. The
miners adopted a Complimentary resolu-
tion thanking Mr.. Johnson for his eff
cient services. Mr.. johnson said to-
day:
1.-The agreement which has been made
between the miners and the operators
is the best the men have ever had. The
com panieS which are parties to the
agreement represent about So per cent
of the tonnage of the mining district
and they have agreed to pay the men
on the basis of mine run, That is to say
the men are to be paid for the coal
they dig as it comes from the mine and
the old system of paying for that which
was screened is abandoned. Four COM
panieS representing As per cent of the
tonnage have declined to enter into this
agreement.
THE agreement provides that future
difficulties shall be submitted to a board
of arbitration to be composed of two
men representing the mine owners; two
men representing the miners. In the
event these fail to agree they are to Sc
lect a fifth
The miners have been complaining
against paying 81 per keg for giant
powder such as is used in firing blasts
in the mines. The price of powder has
recently been advancing; in Colorado it
is now being sold to the miners from
$225 to 81. so per keg.
The miners demanded a reduction.
The operators telegraphed to New York
concerning the matter, having agreed
to fix the price provided they could buy
the powder The New York agent of
the trust then took a little whirI with
the mine owners and forced them to
make a contract for two years from
September. The operators then entered
into an agreement to furnish the powder
at 81 per keg for the ensuing two years
Now if powder goes to So per keg the
miners have the advantage of the situa-
tion. This may be true also of the op-
orators who bought So 600 kegs for that
period at the present prices.

patriotic legislation, such as the pro-
tective tariff laws known as the Nc
Kinley and Dingley bills, whereby there
is discrimination in favor of corpOr-
ate wealth and against individual enter
prise. We favor the destruction of the
result as we'll as the removal of the
pendent bimetallism at 16 to L and the
repeal of all protective tariff laws
would do more to cripple and destroy
the organization and operation of the
trusts than any other laws.
1--WE believe the law in Kentucky
known as the antitrust law should be
so amended as to make unlawful any
agreement, combination or arrangement
by corporations or individuals under
which in the carrying on of any busi-
ness the prices charged should thereby
be fixed, controlled or regulated.
And we believe that said law should
be further so amended as to provide
that all contracts made by any combi-
nation, generally known a trust, in
any kind o fbusiness shall be void and
not enforcible to such trusts or COM
bination and we especially demand that
all trusts controlled articles be placed
on the free list.
I'VE hereby express our confidence in
William J. Bryan and favor his noini-
nation for the presidency Of the United
States by the Democratic national con-
VentiOn of 1900.
I'VE recommend to the Democracy of
Kentucky, J. c. S. Blackburn as the
successor of William Lindsay in the
United States senate.
I'VE endorse the war carried to sue
cess for the freedom of the enslaved
Cubans; and we appreciate and honor
the courage and herOiSm of our soldiers
and sailors therein engaged. But we de-
clare the conduct of the present ma
tionaI administration as to the Philip
pines to be repugnant to every line of
the bill of rights in the constitution and
the declaration of independence.
In the matter of state affairs, the
platform endorses the election law pass
ed by the last legislature, known as
the GoebeI law" and the law ''to pre-
vent eXtortionate, unfair and discrim-
mating freight rates by transportation
companies both of which We're passed
over Governor Bradley's veto. The law
to insure competition in the sale Of
school books is also endorsed.
The reading of the platform provoked
a great deal of enthusiasm by the refer
ences to Bryan and Blackburn. The
resolutions were then adopted as re-
ported.
NOMINATION.
Next came the nominations for gov
ernor. John S. Rhea placed the name
of Captain w. J. Stone before the con-
Vention.
Congressman c. K. Wheeler seconded
the nomination.
Judge Tarvin of Covington nominated
William Goebel. There were several
seconds, but the crowd was too tired
for speech making, and cut these efforts
short. Significant as showing the drift
of the Hardin vote released by the with
drawal of the veteran silver leader was
seconding speeches by Judge Hargis of
Louisville and G. ]. Bronston, Hardin,
managers in the interest of Goebel. A
vote was ordered and the roll call pro-
ceeded with considerable disorder.

ised to give up the baroness and the
lovers met at Rudolph's shooting box,
at Mayerling for a last farewell. The
company at dinner included Prince
Philip of Coburg and Count Hoyo.
The wine passed freely and the evening
was spent in singing and laughter. 1t
prince and Baroness Marie seemed
forced. Toward 1 o'clock in the morning
the baroness complained of being ill
and retired to her bedroom. At 2, after
having consumed almost a decanter of
brandy, Rudolph bade his friends good
night and entered the baroness bed
room. The next morning RudOlph's
cOnhdant, Bratfisch, knocked at the
door and there was no response. He
then entered, staggered back and faint

his evidence refutes the statement that
the lovers died together. He certified
that the baroness died at l o'clock from
strychnine poisoning and that Rudolph
had died at from a pistol shot. The
baroness left four letters addressed to
Emperor Francis Joseph, her mother,
her cousin, Baltzzi, and Prince Ru-
dolph. The latter was the direct cause
of the crown princes suicide. Grief
stricken al the sight of the dead wo-
man, he found at her bedside a penciled
note, wet with tears, as follows:
" My only beloved Rudolph, I die

HOW POLITICS WORKS.
Change of Administration Left Edu-
Gated Man and Family Destitute.

Police Matron Thorpe tells the fol-
lowing story as one of many of the
same kind that comes to her notice:
"A city officer in the pursuance of mis-
duty was called upon to set a family
out in the street for non-payment OF
rent. The pitiful condition of the fam
lily led him to grant them few days
grace and to report their extremity to
me. While to outward appearance the
house and furnishings were fair and
we'll kept, 1 found the lady almost too
weak to walk across the room, simply
from lack of food. The whole family.
with the exception of the months old
babe are emaciated and sick from
want. All winter long their diet has
been bread only, with a kind of gravy
made of lard.
"They have told their distress to no
one until compelled to do so by the evic-
ton papers. The father is a well edu-
Gated, industrious man, who was last
year removed from a certain political
office to make room for man who was
foolish enough to throw up a good job to
try it awhile. Since then the politician
has been unable TO secure anything to
do-although just barely missing a
number of good chances.
IF the name of the suffering family
would dare be given, it would bring
immediate help-but they can't bear
that"

IN A MEXICAN PRISON.
An American Woman Is Incarcerated
For Shooting a Native.

San Francisco, June 24.-Two letters
received from Mrs. Evelyne Collier, who
is now in Jail at Hermosillo, Mexico,
tell the story of her arrest, trial and
sentence to four years imprisonment
for shooting and killing Mexican who
forced himself into her home, when she
was alone and attempted to assault her.
She is an American woman who lived
with her brother. William Frost, at
JJres. On March 81, of this year, while
her brother was absent, a Mexican
broke in the door. A scuffie over the
possession of a pistol then ensued, both
having hold of the weapon. Mrs Col
lier pushed the man outside the door,
when the pistol was discharged. He fell
dead, but she locked and barred the
door, without ascertaining this fact
For this she was sentenced to four
years in prison.
Frost secured the transfer of his Sis
ter from the jail at Ures to the jail at
Hermosillo, and at the same time took
an appeal to the supreme court.
She claims that her condition in jail
is deplOrable. The attention of Senator
Perkins has been directed to the case
of Mrs. Collier, and he promises to take
the matter up with Secretary Hay, to
the end that an investigation be made
and the release of the prisoner be eff
fected if the statements made by her
are verified.
