CHARLTON.

Charlton, Aug. A. Z. Holcomb, OF
The Ottumwa Courier, was in town
Thursday in the interest of the paper.
The people OF Charlton know a good
thing in the newspaper line when
they see it, and the Courier is surely
the best paper printed in southern To-
wa as is evidenced by the fact that in
spite of the change in time of the
trains there is still close to 100 sub
scribers in Charlton.

ing little lass.
& Now that warm weather is fully mp
ON us and the wheeling season in full
Sblast&the attention of bicycle riders
should be called to the fact that the
road is the place for their wheels, and
not the sidewalks, as many of them
seem to think. They are persistently
found upon the sidewalks and several
slight accidents have occurred while
many serious ones have been narrowly
averted. There is an ordinance against
riding on the sidewalks and if the
wheelmen will not comply with its
provisions the attention of the officers
should be called to it and some of
them arrested and fined.

Sir Thomas Liptop arrives-Given a
Housing Reception

New York, September 1.-The Cunard
Line steamship Campania arrived at
quarantine tonight at 1870 o'clock and
was met in the Narrows by a fotila OF
tugs n the steam yacht Erin to
greet Sir Thomas Upton, who was a
passenger on the liner. The quarantine
commissioners boat, the State OF New
York, also appeared on the scene with
a large party uEder the guidance of
Commissioner Palmer. The party con-
sisted of Colonel Tredwell, Governor
,Roosevelt's military secretary, who
was sent by the governor to receive
Sir Thomas Upton, a number of OFF,
Gals and members OF the New York
Yacht Club and many others.
Sir Thomas received invitations, ex-
tending the courtesies of fifty-six clubs
while in this city and an invitation TO
lead the marine division OF the Dewey
day celebration with his yacht Erin.
Both were accepted.
One Of the first questions Sir Thomas
asked after the first greeting, was:
How is the Columbia" He then ex-
pressed the belief that the best boat
would win, saying:
w felt IT a waste of time TO come
here with anything but the best boat
in England. She Is here now. The
Shamrock will do her best and we will
try to do better than some people who
have been here before"
When Sir Thomas came over the
gangplank, he was received with an
other great cheer. He took off his car
and bowed and there was a smile on
his face.
Upon my word, / did not expect
this" said he, as Messrs. Fife and
Ratsey and a couple OF members Of the
New York Yacht Club, aided by sew
eral policemen, made a way for him
through the crowd. us this the way
they welcome the men who come TO get
the cup?"
You're all right, Sir Thomas" shout
ed q voice.
I'm glad 10 hear that. by tove. /
rather think / will be sorry to take
that cup after ALL" replied Sir Thomas.
You get a run for your money."
shouted a voice.
Il don't doubt it," answered Sir
Thomas, laughingly.
No cup challenger was ever before
given q reception that would compare
with that accorded to Sir Thomas.

Trying the Darien Rioters

Darien, Ga, September 2.-In the
riot cases today two blocks of five and
one extra rioter were tried. OF the
first block four were convicted and one
acquitted, and in the second block four
We're convicted with a mistrial as to
the fifth, a woman.
The solitary rioter who demanded
severance was convicted. This makes
fourteen convicted in two days. There
are still about forty cases to be heard.
There is perfect quiet about the town,
which is still guarded by four troops
Of cavalry. 1t is believed some of the
cases will be mol pressed on account
of the heavy expense OF the extra ses-
sion OF the court.

A Fatal Fight with Strikers

Pollock was shot and killed, William
Thayer was seriously wounded, and
about eight men hurt in a fight be-
tween strikers at the Stevens colliery,
West Pittston, and a repair gang to-

the mine and Night Watchman William
Thayer, this morning got five men to-
gether to make repairs. AS they reach
ed the mine the strikers blocked their
way with stones. The men ran to the
head house for shelter; whereupon the
strikers opened fire on them. Thayer
fell badly wounded. The others return
ed the fire, killing John Pollock, one Of
the strikers. The strikers then drew
away n are now scattered in the
woods hiding from arrest.
About 500 men are involved in the
strike which h a been in progress for
nearly six weeks. They are striking
against what they claim to be excessive
dOckage.

ton into the conduct of Captain YOU

barbarous cruelties to the natives in
the French Soudan, which led to tbs
