A BOLT THREATENED
At the United Mine Workers Con-
vention in Pittsburg.
THE OPPOSITION TO RATOHFoRD.

Tho Delegates Representing Over q
Hundred Thousand Mine Workers
Open Proceedings with q Clash-Op-
ponents OF Ratchford Hold Caucus.
Pittsburg, Jan. 10-The delegates to
the tenth annual national convention
of the United Mine Workers OF Amer
lea were slow in arriving at Old City
Hall yesterday, and II was nearly IL
o'clock before National President NJ. D..
Ratchford raped for order and de-
livered his annual address. 1t Is the
largest and most representative gath
ering of miners ever held. The dele
gates in attendance represent over l0o.-
900 miners.
Immediately after the opening Of the
session a dispute arose between Presi-
dent Ratchford and District President
Dolan over the appointment of the Gre
dentials committee. and the entire ses-
sion was taken up with an acrimonious
discussion as to the right Of the chair
man to name the committee. At 1:30
o'clock the convention adjourned with
out having taken a ballot for the new
officers.
After adjournment the delegates con-
gregated in groups and much excitement
was evident. Charges Of trickery came
thick and fast. and today there may be
q bolt from the convention.
One Of the principal causes for oppo-
sition to the administration faction Is
that the president, M. d. Ratchford,
now holds government office, and 1t Is
thought he should not exercise the
functions OF the presidential office and
take so much interest in the election OF
officers as he is doing.
President Ratchford was supported
yesterday in his contention against Dis
trict President Dolan for the right 70
appoint the committee on credentials BY
a vote of 207 against 121. Dolan want
ed one delegate from each state on the
committee. and claimed the president
has no constitutional authority to ap-
point.
After adjournment the Ohio delegates
were in an ugly mood, and caucus
was called for 3 o'clock. Every dele
gate was present. w. II. Haskins. the
president, announced that matters
were being run by persons to suit
themselves, and that 1t was time to
enter a protest. A number OF hot
speeches denouncing the action Of the
convention were made, Patrick Nc
Bryde making the principal address.
He said that the books Of the organiza-
tion ought to be investigated as to the
standing of the delegates. He claimed
that under the constitution no delegat,
could sit until he had paid dues into
the organization for six consecutive
months.
A committee consisting Of T. L.
Lewis. Patrick McBryde ana John
Richards was appointed to walt on
Secretary w. C. Pearce and ask for
the standing Of delegates. The COM
mittee returned with the statement
that they had met with . covert re-
fusal 1t was then decided that II the
tactics Of unfalrness were to be con-
tinued all candidates for office from
Ohio and Pennsylvania withdraw in
favor of Illinois. and give that delega-
tion full sway. In other words. II
means a bolt from the convention. Tn.
program for today will probably be to
rush matters and get through with the
work as quickly as possible.

Archb bishop ireland or For Rome,

St. Paul, Jan. 10.-Archbishop Ire
land left home Sunday night for a trip
to Rome. having kept the time Of his
departure from all inquirers. 1t Is Gus
tomary for all the archbishops to make
such visits every seven years, and the

In which the particular visiting pre-

Donation.

Tur Qulte Wi'iic t'c '"'h "o.''
arouad from one member to another
of the United Evangelical Church
of Pcnns Creek, Pa, that they felt it
their privilege, as well as their duty,
to donate some oftheir earthly goods
which they had accumulated and re.
ceivrl at the hands of their kind
Heavenly Parent during the year
which has just closed, to their young
and worthy Pastor, Rev. j. Nj.
Price and family, who labors socon-
scien:iously in his field of labor for
the success and advancement of
Christ's Kingdom to which he has
been appointed. This idea began to
grow and to expand, through theaid
of the sisters, till it arrived at its
full stage of maturity and exploded
on Tuesday evening, Jan. 3, 1899.
But as he had protracted meeting
in progress at this place where he
preached night after night, it was a
little hard to find suitable time to
find him at home to accomplish their
purpose. At last they concluded to
bring their things along to the meet
ing and to hide them away till he
was through with the sermon and
would get to his home which was
nicely plannedand executed by Bro.
Levi Pick who went along with him
to his home and entertained him till
the others could get their thin
ready and march up to the house
They had not been in the house YER
long when rap was heard ON til
door. When Bro. Pick remark,
there were some more coming. Sistc
Price asked if she should open tn,
door when Bro. Price answered We
When she opened the door in came
hoching, both old and young, with
bags on their shoulders and baskets
under their arms filled with the ne
cessaries of life till the house was
flled.
Il may not be necessary TO tell
YOU that on such an occasion like
this they were seized with a fit of
conservation and amazement which
caused to bring their mindsina wall
derirg and wavering emotion OF
which they had quite spell, but
when the tumult and hustle had
subsided, they began to collect them
selves together and to reflect. They
began to thank the donators for their
kindness and generosity shown unto
them and were greatly encouraged.
But these gifts were not only donat-
ed by the members of his church, but
by members of our sister churches,
as well as by the outside community,
which was kindly appreciated, not
only by Pastor but his members As
well, for their liberality and act OF
Kindness shown unto them, which
bespcaks itself well for a yonng min
lister, only beginner in the public
ministry for the love and high es-
teen which he is held in the COM
munity at large. Hoping there are
many years awaiting him in spread
ing the Gospel of Glad Tidings Of
Great JOY. r. A. w.

BIG TIME AT TREVOR
SIXTY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS TAKE
LITTLE VILLAGE BY STORM.
oAMETo EXPERIMENT ON SHEEP
And Found the Pick of Flocks Aggregat-
ing Nearly Is. 900 sheep-oyer Five
Hundred People view the
Interesting Display.

Friday will 60 down in history as the
one great day in the history of the little
town of Trevor, for yesterday morning
sixty second year students from the
agricultural department of the UDiver-
sity of Wisconsin visited the sheep
feeding yards in the little village to
take their final examinations as experts
in judging sheep. The boys were at
tended by the professors of the Univer-
sity and the residents of Trevor threw
open their homes to them and made
the holiday one long to be remembered.
For some time the University has
been arranging for the test and the
exhibition of sheep was perhaps the
greatest ever seen in the west. Great
focks were shipped in from all oyer
the country and in many cases sheep
we're brought thousands of miles in
order that every breed would be prop
erly represented. Fully $4,000 sheep
were in the pens and pastures sur
rounding the little town. The display
was arranged by Yardmaster r. B.
Ogilvie and the focks were sorted and
the best sheep placed in row of
twenty pens arranged in the large
warehouse similar to the way in which
the prize animals are arranged in the
big fair pavilions.
There were sheep shorn and I'M
shorn, ewes and lambs, and in fact,
every sort of a representative of the
mutton tribe. From a feeders stand
point the collection surpassed any ex
hibition aver given in Wisconsin and
an opportunity for the exhibit
ton of most critical iudg-
ment on the part of the students
was ample and interesting. The sheep
were examined alive and weights
carefully estimated and each pen was
graded by different classes, after which
the sheep we're killed and the weights
again estimated, then the weights were
compared with those taken by the
yardmaster. In many cases the guesses
of the students and the actual weights
were almost Identical.
The exhibition created great interest
among the stock raisers of the county
and it is estimated that fully 500 people
were in attendance.
Some of the most interesting flocks
of sheep we're brought from Oregon,
Montana and South Dakota.

cough and influenza. It has become
famous for it's cures of these diseases,
over a large part of the civilized world.
The most fattering testimonials have

persistent coughs it has cured; of
severe colds that have yielded prompt

Hospital Question.

Kenosha Medical Society Discuss the
Hospital Question.
The Kenosha County Medical Asso-
citation were royalty entertained Friday
evening by Drs. Andre, Cheever and
Jorgenson, the bachelor members of
the society, at the residence of Miss
Bartlett OIL South Chicago street. The
meeting proved to be one of the most
interesting ever held by the doctors,
and as they fingered unit. early morn
ing they certainly must have enjoyed it
very much.
The literary program was dispensed
with and the evening was given up to
social pleasures. The guest of honor
was DR.. Hipp, of Chicago, founder of
the Willie Hipp hospital, and much of
the evening was given over to talk by
the Chicago doctor on the subject Of 9
hospital in Kenosha and the best
method to secure it.
DR.. Hipp said that every town as
large as Kenosha should have a hos
pital He spoke of the work in Chi
cago and the manner5 in which the diff
fe'ent hospital movem ents had been
carried out. He urged Upon the doc
tors that as they were especially inter
ested in such an institution they should
take the initiative and raise among the
profession as much money as possible
for the proposedthospital. When they
had done this DR.. Hipp said there was
no doubt but that the citizens would
rally to their support .and the hospital
would soon be a reality.
After the talksby DR.. Hipp the gen.
tlemen retired to the dining room,
where a magnificent dinner was
served. After dinner.medical subjects
were laid aside.and the doctors lighted
their cigars andsspentgseveral hours in
pleasant social conversation.
Drs. Andre,I Cheever and JOrgenson
are to be congratulated on the way in
which the bachelors entertain.

THE forty-four miners who left
Mahanoy City about ten days ago, at
the solicitation of representatives of
a Montana mining company, upon
reaching their destination find that
they were deceived. The promised
good wages, steady work cheap board
and fine surroundings did not ma
terialize instead, they were secured
to take the place of striking miners,
which they very properly refused to
do. 1t is useless to comment at length
on the unfortunate position in which
these miners find themselves, but it
teaches again the great lesson of the
various schemes resorted to by un-
scrupulous corporations to beguile
men, take them from their happy
homes and place them in surround
ings not at all to their liking. The
miners of the anthracite coal region
are getting along fairly well, and as
long as they can live contented and
happy, even if they do not accumulate
fortunes, they should remain here.
