Chicago Record on Organism.

The Chicago Record is one of the
greatest daily newspapers in America.
It's news service is first class and
it's circulation is very large. Politically
the Record is independent, although
in the present campaign it favors the
democratic policy. However, some Of
the recent utterances of Bryan in ref
erence to militarism are too rank even
for the Record. In speaking editor
tally of Brydn's fake issue of militar-
ism and his effort to array class
against class last Saturdays issue of
this paper contained the following:
"The man who sows discord among
the people for his political profit, who
arouses class hatred in land where
there should be no classes, in order
that he may get an office, is unmistak
ably working his own undoing. Mr.
Bryan's cause cannot prosper from the
moment that he begins to cry out that
Americans are seeking to infringe on
the liberties of Americans. The free
man who is enlightened as well as free
knows where he can find arms. He
welcomes the struggle with tyrants,
if tyrants there be. He knows when
his inalienable rights are infringedsup-
on without having to consult experts
on the subject.
"When Mr.. Bryan talks of the men
ace of an army Of 100000 men to ma
tion of Is, 100000 people, is he states
man. mischief maker or fool?'

Fusion Couny Convention.

Asmall number of men representing
the democratic, populist and silver re-
publican parties met in county conven-
tion last Saturday afternoon in the
county court room. After organizing
with W. +. Miller as chairman and G.
VI. Robbins as secretary the business
of nominating candidate for commits
sioner of the third commissioners dis
trict of Sedgwick county was begun.
AT first it seemed as though no candi-
date would be chosen; not because
the convention was inharmOniOus, but
because no person was found willing
to offer himself for the slaughter. FL
nally, however, the names OF ii. w.
Robbins and Harry Robertson were
presented The latter gentleman was
not present but had sent word that he
would not accept a nomination. Mr.
Robbins was present and he too stated
that he would not accept the nomina-
tion, but the convention decided to
thrust the honor upon him and he was
accordingly nominated. G. M. Rob
bins was chosen chairman of the cOun-
ty central committee and, in short
short speech accepting the position,
promised to work hard for the success
of the entire fusion ticket.
Joseph H. Painter, fusion candidate
for judge of of the 18th judicial dis
trict, was present and after the bus-
ness of the convention had been CON
cluded he was called on for short
speech. Mr.. Painter spoke only for a
few minutes and although his speech
contained but little politics he would
possibly have aroused some enthusiasm
had his audience been large enough
At the close of Mr.. Painters speech
the convention adjourned sine die.

NEAR ALL AT WORK
Resumption of Mining of Anthracite Coal
Is All but Unanimous,

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 3O.-About SIS
per cent. of the collierieS in the Wyo-
ming valley are at work. All the
mines of the Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany at Pittston resumed with a full
force of men. The Lehigh valley and
UilkeSbarre company reports all its
collierieS in this region working. The
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
and the Delaware and Hudson COM
panleS are working to their fullest ca
pacity. There was hitch at the Sus-
qEehanna Coal company'S mines at
Naticoke. owned by the Pennsylvania
Railroad company. On Saturday night
n committee Of the employees had Il
conference with General Superinten-
dent Williams. He agreed to pay the
advance granted by the other compan-
les, but said nothing about posting
notices.
When the men reported for work
yesterday morning they found that no
tices had not been posted and they
declined to go into the mines until the
notices were put up. \ meeting of the
employees was held. 1t is said that
some OF the men are in favor of ac-
ccpring the verbal promise of Superin-
tendent Williams and returning to
work. 1t is alleged that the reason the
company does not post the notices of
the increase, although willing to pay
the increased wages, Is that it does
not want to recognize the union.
Nearly all the mines of the individ-
ual operators are working. The only
notable exceptions are the mines owned
by the Red Ash Coal company. The
officials Of that company say they will
not start until Nov. l. In some places
the return to work was siGnalized by
the joyful ringing of bells and blow
ing of whistles

burning to death Monday evening Of
Mrs. Harriet G. Crumm, the aged
mother of Mrs. John Woy and o. b.

after o'clock to call upon one Of the
neighbors. The last thing she said to
her mother, who was just starting up
stairs, was to tell her not to NEEDLE

Woy returned home shortly before s
o'clock and the sight that met her eyes
could hardly be realized. The first
thing she noticed wrong was the pres
ence of a large quantity of water on
the floor, and upon Fastening to the
kitchen found her mother lying on
the floor in a pool of water, with her
body burned to a crisp from head to
foot. A physician was called at once
but the aged woman was beyond med
