Butler Wins Again.

The First Ward hose racing team Won
all the races at the Phillipsburg, Pa,
tournament last Thursday
through good luck and the inability OF
their opponents than by their own mer-
its
The team left Wednesday evening
on the B. R. & P, stopped over night at
the pretty town of Clearfeld, on the
Sugquehanna, arrived in Phillipsburg
shortly before noon, paraded, and after
| dinner raced. There was but one other
| team entered. Houtzdale, and they were
unframed and slow.
The races were as follows
HOSE RACE.
25O yards; $3.50 first; S75 second.
First Wards. ds.......-........4O .4O4 seconds
HOutzdale. e......-...........45 .45
HUB RACE.
200 yards: $50 first; $25 second.
First Wards. s.................24 seconds
HOutZCale. e...................29
The Butler team was in good shape
and ran eycellently, but the track was
soft and sandy and the running was
against strong wind. Their running
time was % seconds. Joe Heineman
made bad tumble of the coupling
which brought the tota! time up TO 40
seconds.
The First Wards went to Phlllpsburg
hoping for a chance to square up the
Dubois defeat with the Union City
team and were much disguised when
the latter telegraphed thar they could
not come because their coupler Was
hurt.
This was only an excuse as they carry
two first class couplers. Union City
clearly showed the white feather
After the hose races, E. H. Negley
won a 200-yard dash; John Cole second,
and Rob McCutcheon won n. 1O0-yard
dash in 10& seconds.
The Rescues and First Wards leave

In fact, she threatens to eclipse him

For. be it known, the critical public

net-waist girl seriously, while they re-

Shamokin, Oct. l0.-President
Mitchell OF the United Mine Workers,
who came here yesterday TO take pat
in the labor demonstration, was We
coined in the most enthusiastic man
ner by the thousands of striking mlne
workers in this section of the SchuyI-
kill valley. The city was protUscE
decorated and all stores and other bus
mess houses in the vicinity were
closed at noon. Thousands OF people
came from surrounding towns to take
part in the parade and listen TO
Mitchelrs speech at the mass meeting
held after the parade. Fully 5000
strikers were in line. Many came
from the eastern part of NOrthumber-
land county and from South Schuylilii
and Columbia counties. Mitchell rode
in a carriage at the head of the line
and was constantly Cheered by crowds
along the route of the parade. Presl-
dent Mitchell in addressing the assem-
blage spoke of the enthusiasm dis
played by the men throughout the an
thracite strike region, and went into
the situation as it now stands. In re
ferring to the prospective ending of
the strike he said:
Every other strike that has taken
place in the anthracite region has been
declared off by your officers. | want
to say as | have said before, that this
strike will never end until the miners
through delegates to convention END
it themselves. We have called con
vention and you men are invited to
send delegates there. You are invited
to pass Judgment on the operators
proposition. If you believe they act in
good faith if you believe the ten per
cent. increase to be enough; if you be-
lieve they will pay ten per cent. for the
year. then you must decide whether to
return to work On the other baud II
you reject the offer and continue on
the strike, John Mitchell will be there
to help you do it. l do not expect this
one strike will eradicate all thoWrongs
from which you suffer. do not be
lieve the accumulation of forty years
of Injustice can be wiped out ct once
but | do believe you have established
an organization here that with each
succeeding year will give you i'm
proved conditions Of employment
