Ia MEN
Have Quit Work
At the Goehring Mfg.
Company
Employed In Glass De-
partment.
Difficulties Over Employing
Apprentices.
Men Will Make No Trouble - Wi!
Leave the City.

Fourteen men, employed in the glass
department of the Goehring Manufac-
turing Company, went out on strike
Wednesday afternoon.
The cause of the trouble, according
to the statement made by Chas. j.
Reinwald, president of the local order
Of the Amalgamated Association Of
Glass Workers of America to a Demo
crat reporter Friday morning is as fol-
lows:
1.-THE first of this week President G.
T.. Goehring Of the company discharg-
ed eight Of the fourteen men work
ing in the department, stating that
he could no longer pay the union
wages heretofore paid and that he in
tended getting apprentices for 81 day
to take the places of the union men.
Accordingly, eight men We're discharg-
ed whom the company believed would
not teach apprentices the trade and
kept six that were supposed would
agree to teach the apprentices.
"It was agreed between the union
and the manager of the company that
the company would employ none but
union men In the glass department,
and that a certain number of the ap-
prentices would be employed. After
the apprentices work one year at the
business and acquire knowledge OF
the trade they are taken into the union
and become journeymen mirror work
ers. Mr.. Goehring has violated his
agreement with us In placing on more
apprentices. For this action the other
six Of Ills quit work. We held meet
ing Wednesday night and Thursday
our committee had a conference with
Mr.. Goehring In order to arrange a
fair settlement. He told us that he
proposed to run the department to
suit himself and would discharge and
hire any one he pleased. He then
made a proposition to the committee
that he would take back six of the
fourteen men out but that the other
eight could consider themselves dis
charged. -Four are married men and
three Of them arrived here from Chica-
go and went to work last week at the
urgent request of the manager We
refused to accept the proposition made
by Mr.. Goehring and will no go to
wrok. We will make no trouble for
the company and will in all probability
return to Chicago. The work in this
department is skilled work and the
average laborer cannot perform it.
We are well organized and have no
tilted unions in other cities to keep
men away from the company's works,
until a satisfactory agreement can be
reached, which we believe will be
made in a short time"
One of the officers of the Goehring
Manufacturing Company stated to
Democrat reporter Friday that the
trouble arose over the company em
ploying an additional apprentice.
The superintendent of the company
placed his son at work in the glass
| department and the men objected. The
manager insisted upon the right of
employing whom he pleased, and tthe
men quit work.
1--WE expect to ill the places of the
men who quit work." said the official,
''in short time"

SCOTS EMULSION

of cod-liver'oil is the means of
life and enjoyment of life to
thousands: men women and
children.
When appetite fails, it re-
stores it. When food is a
burden, it lifts the burden.
When you lose flesh, it
brings the plumpness of health.
When work is hard and
duty is heavy, it makes life
bright.
1t is the thin edge of the
wedge; the thick end is food.
But what is the use of food,
when you hate it, and can't di-
gest its
SCOTS emulsion of cod
liver oil is the food that makes
you forget your stomach.
Well send you little to try, If you like.

Government Is Trying to Keep the
Matter Quiet.

Washington, Oct. 5.-(Spl) Earl
Ii Hung Chang would have been at
Tien Tsin, while the international
column was on its way to the relief
of Peking and would have been in
the Chinese capital as soon as 1t fell,
if it had not been for the indiscreet
talk of captain of one of Uncle Sans
gunboats, then at Hong Kong.
1t is learned. from unquestionable
source, that our government, under
agreement with Earl Lii, had arranged
that Admiral Remey, on his way from
Manila to Taku, should stop at
Shanghai, take aboard the Chinese
diplomat, and then proceed up the
coast. When Admiral Remey stopped
OF Hong Kong, previous to going to
Shanghai, the British consul at that
place, called upon him, and announced
that the taking of Earl Ii from Shan
ghai to Tien Tsin aboard his flagship,
Tie MOuiu DC Oh
unfriendly act by Great Britain. 1t
developed upon investigation that the
captain of the gunboat at that place
had divulged the object Of Remey's
proposed trip to Shanghai.
Admiral Remey proceeded without
the distinguished Chinaman as his
passenger, the Washington authori-
ties being notified of the occurrence
and the failure of their plans to get
Earl Ii Immediately on the scene of
the disturbance.
A lengthy report of the affair has
been been made to the Navy depart
ment For reasons best known to the
officials they have decided not to court
martial or reprimand the captain of the
gunboat, as they hope to keep the
matter quiet. The name of the cap.
tain cannot as vet be ascertained.
1t will be recalled. that some time
after this occurrence, the British also
objected to Earl Ii going as passen-
ger, on a Russian war vessel.

Noblesville, Ind, Oct. 5.--(Spl)--"In-
diana Is for Bryan at this time by a
safe plurality" says Parks Martin.
"Place Bryan's plurality in Indiana

Thomas Il. Taggart, of Indianapolis.
At Lebanch last night Bryan talked
an hour anil thirty minutes, the long
est speech he has made In this cam
paign. His car left Indianapolis at 2
o'clock. About eighty Indiana BOOM
ers went along in an extra coach.
Bryan spoke here from stand near
the railroad track to an audience of
eight thousand. Bryan declared he
could think of no lower scale upon
which to decide questions at issue than
mere money. He again said the Re-
publicans only knew of the existence
of the ice trust.
Two stalwart policemen were car
ried on the car today to keep the
crowds off Bryan. Nothing SO ex-
hausts his strength as being pushed
and jostled. Thirty extra spell-binders
were on the train, few of whom got
or at every stop.

PIONEER OF THE WEST.
E, P, McCabe Builds up Waste
Places In Kansas and Oklahoma
and Opens New Avenues for
Enterprislng Afro-Amerlcans.

E. P. McCaoe, the subject of this
sketch, can justly be termed one of the
leading pioneers Of the race. The late
Hon Frederick Douglass in writing to
a trisnd had this to say Of him: "Mr.
McCabe is not only q pioneer, but q
distinguished leader. He does as we'll as
says. He has done. and is dong a
great work for our poor and sorely per
picked people In the West"
In the seventies Mr.. McCabe resigned
a lucrative position which he then held
in the County Treasurer's Office OF
Cook County, ILL.,, (ChIcago) to engage
in, and, if possible, assist IN peopleing
the lands of Western Kansas with men
and women of the face upon the then
vacant lands of that section. He set
tied in Graham County and associated
with himself Messrs. John w. Niles
and Abram I. Hall, where they found.
ed the town of NIcodemus, settling The
surrounding country with families up
on tracts of one hundred and sixty
acres each. The colonlsts came largely
fIom Ken.ucky, experiencing the hard
ships following such venture, but by
sticking 10 their resolutions, urged by
this man, their Efforts were crowned
with success. Upon the organization
OF the county, tney selected Mr. Nc
Cabe as their candidate for The Office of
County Clerk. He was first appointed
as The first clerk and was duly elected
at the general election, and while serv
ing IN this capacity, he was nominate d
in q state convention over q field OF
ten candidates, for the high Cft1ee of
Auditor Of state, a purely inanc al Of
flee, TO which he was duly elected
serving the State with accepIabilIIy
his initial term. He was renominated
and reelected by one Of the largest
majorities ever given any candidate IN
that state OF large msjoriIies. Mr. Nc
Cabe ent the year Of 1889 in this city
endeavoring to have those high In
authority set the Territory Of Oklaho-
ma aside and opened ex, x,lusively for the
use and benefit OF the colOred people.
III this he failed, and upon the opening
of the Territory he turned his attention
to the settling therein, as many of the
race as possible. He founded the
town of LAngston City and fairly flood
ed the country with the most tatter-
ing circulars of Inducements ever cir
culated among our people, which res
suited 10 securing some forty thousand
of th7 race to settle within the borders
of that thrifty section.
Upon the appointment Of the pres
ent Governor, Hon O. II. Barnes. ne
was not slow in recognizing the ability
Of Mr.. McCabe, for the position Of
Territorial Auditor and forthwith
named him for the position he still
holds. During his residence in Okla
hOma the Kansas State Historic So
ciety hOnored him with an election as
an honorary member of that time hon
Ored Institution.
He was the first Treasurer of Logan
County (his present home) but declined
to accept that Office after a unanimous
nomination was given him. HIS wife
and one daughter reside in Guthrie
While his eldest daughter attends school
