was the acme of deviltry and crime for
man to get rich at the expense of the
blood and suffering of his fellow beings.
He felt sure that victory would at last
come to the laboring man. His rights
had been too long trampled upon, but la
bor's efforts were being crystallized lo-
cally, nationally and internationally and
linked into one grand brotherhood under
the banner of the American Federation
of Labor.
National Organizer Stewart Reid fol-
lowed Mr.. Gompers. He argued that 1t
is incumbent on the laboring men to or
ganize because the rich are organized.
Doctors, real estate men, merchants and
men in various callings and professions
are organized. Mr.. Reid said they had
right to; but that it was necessary for
the poor artisan or laborer to organize
in order to get a fair share of what he
produces. 1t is not right that the cobbler,
who makes fine shoes for the rich, should
be compelled to wear seventy-five cent
brogans He held that If the man had
skill to make fine clothes he should have
the privilege of wearing such.
Mr.. Reid alluded to the patriotism of
this nation in cheering the governments S
soldiers as they passed on to war, to the
spirit of charity manifested in feeding the
reconeentrados of Cuba, but said, while
ship loads of provisions, under the guard
of arms, were being sent to Cuba, the
labor reconcentrados of the Hooking VAL
ley, in Ohio, were starving, and an APP
peal to the government for relief met
with refusal. He predicted that labc4s
battle would be won. Labor warriors
had been beaten back, but they are still
charging and will finally win, and will
plant the Stars and Stripes on the
Heights for which they arencontending;
but Old Glory will be cleansed of her
blots and will be Inscribed, Equal Rights
to All; Special Privileges to None.''
The speeches were interspersed with
favorite selections, rendered by the Acme
Quartette.
Nearly two hundred members of the
council attended the banquet which fol-
lowed at Germania Hail. Toasts were re-
sponded to as follows:-President Nelson,
Use of the Label;'' NJ Williams, "Politi-
cal Economy Henry Gottlob, Chairman
of the Executive Committee, Working

An address was made by Thomas Pur-
cell, secretary of the Local Merchants
Union. Bob Macdonald humorist, inter-
spersed the speeches with witty dialect
stories and the Acme Quartette sang a
number of selections.

That Was the Fate of Miss Bell
Slavin, the Stenographer of the
National Bank of Commerce of
Wichita, Kansas.


WITCHTA, Kans., June 25.-When
the body of Miss Bell Slavin was found
at two O'Clock last Thursday morning
in the office of the National Bank of
Commerce. death having resulted from
bullet wound in the head, it was sup
posed that she had committed suicide
Later developments indicate that the
young woman was murdered.
Miss Slavin was frequently employed
by commercial travellers and other
strangers, work OF his kind often keep
ing her in the Office at the bank until
10 O'Clock at night.
Mr.. Jobes, president of the bank, now
states that on Wednesday afternoon a
strange man came to the bank and
asked to have some work done. Miss
Siavin told him to bring it around after
6 O'Clock. Mr.. Jobes says that he OBJ
served the stranger surveying the in
terror of the bank very critically.
A barber who passed the bank at s
O'Clock saw Miss Slavin standing be-
fore the window, apparently waiting
for some one. Another person heard
a pistol shot just after s O'Clock. When
Miss Slavin's father, the president of
the bank and another person went to
the bank in search of her at o'clock
in the morning, they found the bank

POSITIVE
Evidence Secured by the Chicago Po-
lice as to the MurdererS of Marin
Meier, the Aged Swiss Recluse.

CHICAGO, June 25.-The police
stated to-day that positive evidence
has been secured pointing to Frank,
alias Matt Smith, and Coffee" Brauer,
alias Sigmund Brock, two salt water
sailors, as the man who robbed and
murdered Martin Meier, the aged Swiss
recluse, who was found dead in his
lonely home ON West Fifty-seventh
street about three weeks ago. Smith
and Brauer are said to be in Michigan
and several Chicago officers are search
ing for him.
The information was given the
police by an acquaintance of the al
legged murderers, who it is said knew
of their intention of robbing Meier, and
to whom they confided the details of
the robbery. Instead of securing sew
eral thousand dollars, however, it is
supposed the men succeeded in finding
but SIS. Meier had previously told tie
men that he expected his brother at
the house in the afternoon to help him
do some shingling. The robbers left
Meier bound and gagged, believing
that he would be released by his broth
er. But no one called at the house I'M
til the following Wednesday, the rob-
berry having occurred on Monday, and
Meier probably was gradually strangl-
ed to death by the gag in his mouth.
Smith and Brock, according to the in
formers story, that night went to St.
Joseph, Mich, and thence to Stevens
vile, from which point he received a
letter from them dated June 7th. The
description of the two men corresponds
to the men seen around Meters house
on June 9Th. The men have been trac-
ed as far as Stevensville, but there all
track of them was lost.

DREYFUS' COMING.
A First Glass Cruiser Puts TO Sea, Eviden
Iy to Meet the Sfax,

ly to Meet the Sfax.
BREST, France, June 25-The
French first-class cruiser Tage put to
sea this afternoon, the public explana-
ton being that she has gone to exper-
iment with carrier pigeons. She is,
however, a much larger cruiser than the
Sfax, which is bringing Captain Drey-
fus, and the dispatch of such a big
vessel with carrier pigeons is quite I'M
precedented.
Usually torpedo boat is sent, and
the opinion, therefore, gains ground
that the Tage has gone to meet the
Sfax and to take Captain Dreyfus on
board. The pigeons can be used to
announce the transfer and the Tage
might proceed to another port to land
the prisoner.
AS against this theory and as an in
dication that the landing of Dreyfus
will be effected here, there is the fact
that large number of gendarmes from
the country around Brest are arriving
or expected TO arrive tonight
The treasurer of the famous League
of the French Fatherland reached Brest
this evening from Paris and as this
organization has been at the bottom of
the antiDreyfus movement it is
thought he has probably come to or
ganize a demonstration,

MYSTERIOUS STORY
or His Experiences Told by Frank Con-
molly, Who Disa ppea red in 1898.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, June 25.-The Post
Dispatch says that Frank Connolly.
who was acting as treasurer of the
Thomas W. Keene Dramatic Company
IN the spring Of 1898, when he myster-
iously disappeared from McVickers'
Theatre, in Chicago, has turned up in
ST. Louis, after varied experience. 1t
was believed at the time that Connolly
had been foully dealt with, but the po-
lice were unable TO find the missing
man. According to Mr.. Connolly's
story, on the night OF his disappearance
he had supper with a woman friend
from PituSburg. After that until two
weeks later. when he recovered his
senses in a freight car near Mattaoon,
H., everything was a blank to him.
He had lost $500 in money and several
hundred dollars worth of jewelry. He
was taken to hospital, where he re-
covered from a severe illness. which
was the result of being drugged. Think
ing himself disgraced and fearing 10
face his friends, Connolly went to Cuba
and acted as correspondent for a num-
Der of American papers during the war.
Coming to st. Louis an old friend of
Mr.. Connolly met and recognized him.
