This statement was made by Dr.

pies church. A life long republican,
he was with Mr. Bryan four years ago,

of Kane county, Illinois, now living in
Chicago, have organized the Kane
County Alschuler club of Chicago. DR..
Thomas has been made president Of
the club, and $50 names have been en-
rolled.
DR.. Thomas talked freely Of the
campaign. He asserts that Mr.. Bry-
ans election will best subserve ths
principles of Americanism.

Bryan and l trust and now believe
he will be elected. l did not leave my
party; it left me. The Republican
party is no longer what it was. So
long as it continues to be run by
trusts and money holders cannot toll
crate it.

Bryan will mean that We will have
government Of the people and for the
people. Mark Hanna and his party
have the money and they have the fed
.eral patronage, but the people are not
with them and their methods.
"No, l shall not make political adj
dresses. l never made a political
speech in my life, but l shall be glad
to act as president Of this club, which
binds together former Kane county
residents to work for Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Alschuler."

After trying the case for a week, the
prosecution abandoned It. and never
dared to bring it up again, and the Off
Gals dismissed it without any further
hearing.
1t is easy to say that II the men
committed violence and crime they

guilty of crime A great deal of blood
has been shed; great many speeches
have been made. and much has been
written to support the right of trial
by jury" The question is not one as
to whether a man shall be punished
for a crime, but whether when la
boring man is charged with crime by
his employer the judge shall determine
whether he is guilty or whether it
shall be submitted. like any other
case, to trial by jury of his peers.

executive council. in which he is one
of the close advisers Of Samuel Com
pers. He is an active and energetic
man outside of his labor interests.
While resident of Spring Valley he
was president Of an athletic associa-
tion and of several literary and edu-
cational clubs, and president Of the
board of education. and was other
wise prominent in local affairs, being
a leader of an independent political
club.
His youthful appearance has already
been remarked upon. Among his as
sociates, both in labor circles and in
the outside clubs over which he has
presided, his young looks have earned
him the title Of "the boy president. u
His address as public speaker Is said
to be agreeable and impressive, as he
has a clear, good voice and an ex-
cellent command of language.

nois in the spring of 1891, and made
his home at Spring Valley, where. at
the age of 20, he married Miss Gather
inc O'Rourke. Mrs. Mitchell and
their children, three boys and girl,
now reside in Spring Valley.
His first Office of Importance in con-
necrlon with the Knights of Labor was
in the North Illinois sub-district, OF
which, in 1895, he was made secretary
treasurer He was bright and quick
witted, with knack for argument
and a pleasing address, which made
those with whom he argued listen to
what he had to say. Consequently,
a year after he became secretary-treas-
urer he was sent to Springfield to
work for mining measures before the
legislature. This he did with such
persistence and intelligence that he
secured the passage OF the gross
weight" law and the antitrust laws.
These and ether measures which were
passed at his instance made him ex-
tremely popular. AS result he be-
came, in 1897, member Of the execu-
tive committee Of the Illinois state
organization, and in the same year
was made an organizer of the nation
al body.
Step by step he had risen to more
commanding Importance in labor
councils. He took another step up In
1898, when he was elected vice-presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, and he reached the top OIL
that organization, the presidency,
when, in the following September, M.
D. Ratchford resigned to become
member of the national industrial
commission. The proud position to
which Mitchell had succeeded became
his by election at Pittsburg in Janu-
airy, 1899, and at the Indianapolis con-
vention, in January, 1900, he was re-
elected without a vote being cast
against him, SO great Is his popular
ity.
When he became president the or
ganization numbered $4,000. 1t now
has 100000 members. Mitchell Is a
man of so much foresight and such
keen penetration that since his presi-
dency the organization has had no
failures, and has been successful In
all the strikes he has ordered. Con-
sequently he stands well with the rank
and file of the organization. Outside
Of this, he has been, since 1898, fourth
vice-president of the American FEEDER
ation of Labor. and member of the

the spirits needs are essentially those
experienced in this life. The dead are
supposed to be wholly dependent upon
tn living for food, clothing and money.
Such articles are thought to be rem
dered invisible and transmitted to the
other world by means Of fire. When
a man dies the clothing which he wore
during life is Immediately burned so
that he may not appear in the other
world as a beggar, without suitable
apparel. Great quantities of imitation
money, covered with tinfoil. are con-
sumed in the fire. with the object of
bribing the officials of the lower re-
gions to release the soul from purga-
tory. Paper houses, furniture, serv-
ants, everything to give dignity and
standing to the deceased. are pur-
chased by the family for this pious
holocaust. The important feature of
the funeral is procession, in which
the articles are exhibited, followed by
bonfire in which all are burned, that
thus they may be changed into similar
articles invisible to mortal eyes. Usu-
ally the chief piece is something dis
tinctive of the dead. In the case of a
sea captain this would be paper ship,
as large as possible. In the case Of a
general it would be a horse.

COREY SEES DEFEAT.

George J. Corey, president of the
National Commercial and Industrial
League, Mckinley campaign organ
ization, with headquarters in New
York, has, like his master, Hanna,
read the handwriting on the wall and
has sounded a note Of alarm" which
gives no comfort to Hanna henchmen.
At meeting of the league held In
New York last Wednesday, President
Corey made some startling statements
which were reported by the Times. an
anti-Bryan newspaper:
"If were to believe the reports
which 1 have lately received from our
leagues in the various states," he
said, II should believe that we were
already defeated. The signs of de-
feat are in much greater evidence now
than they were when Harrison was de-
feated in 1892, and will let you into
the secret why we are in such danger.
1t is because the business men are
apathetic; because they do not real
lie the necessity Of contributing
money to the campaign.
When Mr.. Hanna goes down on
Wall street and tells the great finan-
ciers of New York what l am telling
you they say to him: Why. Mr.. Han

under a false sense of security.

John Mitchell, the executive Of tho
United Mine Workers of America, is
only 81, but he does not look even
that. Like many other men of force.
he is smooth-faced, almost boyish in
appearance. For his weight, nearly
ITO pounds, he is rather small in stat
ure. He dresses neatly, but not ex-
pensively, and usually wears soft
SLOUGH hat. He is native of Illinois,
having been born in Braidwood on
Feb. 4. 1869.
His father was not only a miner,
but Union soldier, so that mining
and pluck run in his veins. He was
mere lad when he began supporting
himself His mother died when he
was 2 years old, and his father died
four years later, and until he was 10
years old the boy lived with his step
mother, acquiring what education his
meagre circumstances permitted.
Then he cast loose and began to
shift for himself He became farm
laborer, but the mining impulse was
in him, and at 10 he began his career
as coal miner. By 16 he was a
Knight of Labor, joining the order at
Braceville, Ill. He already had a
sense Of the power that was to be
gained by organization and systema-
tized agitation. Shortly after joining
he concluded to see something of the
e.
New Mexico and other points in the
west and southwest, earning his way
by digging coal. He returned to ILL
