COERCING employees.
Opinion of an Illinois Court on .
Law of that state.


There is a law in Illinois which
makes it misdemeanor for an en-
ployer to discharge man because ne
joins labor organization. Recently
business man in Chicago was in
dicted for having violated this law.
and on. a motion of the defendants
attorney the indictment was quashed
and the defendant discharged. The
court said, among other things:
"a man is not free man who is
compelled to choose between uniting
with labor organization and being
denied an opportunity, perhaps his
only opportunity, to earn living.
One of the essentials of freedom is
the right to have opinions not in har-
mony with those of the public author
tiles or of the majority. The major
portion. if not all the prejudices OF
mankind are foolish, nevertheless free
men are entitled to hold prejudices.
The constitutional guaranty to every
persons of the right to freely speak,
write and publish on all subjects
necessarily involves the right to have
opinions on all subjects, however
much they may be condemned either
by the Legislature or the public.
Every citizen has a constitutional
right to believe the Presbyterian, the
Catholic, the Unitarian, the Mormon
Church or the iourneymen plumbers
association to be prejudicial to good
morals and harmful to society; SO
believing he has right to attempt to
prevent the tutor of his children join
ing such society, and to discharge
such teacher if he persists in uniting.
The employe is not thereby deprived
OF freedom. Freedom does not con-
sist in any part in right to be en-
ployed by or work with any particular
person or the members of any particu-
lar society. Nor is any person de-
priyed either of fre2dom or lawful
right because tue members of the
plumbers labor union or the Presby-
terian clnrch. each lawful organiza-
tiono reiGse 10 work for or associate
with him. Nor, under the constitution
can such refusal be made criminal
offeuse by a legislative act denounc-
fsg fssae--ssrfa sfui coerrioR and SUBJ
jectilg the .offender to fine and i'm
prisOnment. Under this law father
and mother having agreed to ante
and having joined in attempting to
prevent their son from joining and
belonging to a lawful IN Dor 0rraniz-
alton might be indicted and punished
for unlawful conspiracy.

ECHOES OF A NOTED CASE.
William Newby. the Principal Actor
Now in the Poor House.

w" III thC ooE AIouSVs
All readers of newspapers are
familiar with the celebrated Newby
case, who was charged with imperson-
ating deceased soldier and drawing
his pension for years All who have
met the mah and talked with him are
convinced that he is either most ac-
complished liar and scoundrel or a
much wronged man, and maEy persons
who are familiar with the circum-
stances of his case are inclined to the
latter opinion. The Nit. Vernon, Ill,
Republican contains the following
refereace to Newly:
"W6lliam Newly and wife were on
Saturday admitted to the county poor
hoese at Montgomery City, Mo. This
old eaan, seven years ago, was the
ceMS-al figure in the noted pension
fraad trial that took place in SPRING
fed, ILL.,. where lie was sentenced to
the penitentiary for one year for at
tempting to defraud the government.
He served ninS months in the peniten-
ti.ry and was then pardoneG out. He
r. we'll knoyu here and those old
sodiers who believe that he is really
the original William Newby will learn
with profound regret of Ais present
environments. The old man is trying
10 have his fsensiOn claim renewed by

FORMER CAPE RESIDENT.
Has an Adventure in st. Louis and
II Lands Him In the City Hospital

Fritz Theuerkauf, 43 years old, a
baker employed at the Dozier bakery
and living at 1888 Caroline street, was
sent to the City Hospital at noon
Monday, after a very narrow escape
from death. The hospital physicians
believes his mind has been unbalanced
by the strike.
About noon Monday, as car 81, of
the Laclede avenue line, was moving
east on Market street near Eighteenth,
the motorman noticed a crowd of about
500 persons at corner. At the same
time he saw a figure which appeared
to be a dummy lying on the tracks.
The motorman turned to Patrolman
Patrick Borden, Of the mounted dis
trict, who was guarding the car, and
remarked, "Watch me knock the
dummy" He threw full current on
and the car shot ahead.
When the supposed dummy was first
noticed the car was about POO feet
away. AS the motorman put on the
full current Policeman Borden looked
ahead to see that the track was clear.
The supposed dummy was stretched
across the track with his head resting
on one rail and his feet on the other.
AS the car had approached within 30
feet of the supposed dummy, Officer
Borden saw the figure move, and cried
out that it was a live man on the track.
The motorman applied the brake,
shut off the current and brought the
car to a standstill. with the fender
within few inches of Theuerkauf' 5
body.
When. Borden questioned the man
he said he wanted to stop the street
cars, and he thought his method the
easiest and quickest. The man ap-
peared to be demented. and it was
decided to send him to the City
Hospital for observation.

Panther in Illinois.

Campbell Hill Eclipse: y terocious
looking animal, presumably a pam
;her, was seen near Barrow Il Clust
er's saw mill. three miles north of
town. one day last week. Charlie
Minter while hauling logs to the mill,
saw the animal lying under a fallen
tree top and at first thought it was a
dog, but upon closer scrutiny he be-
came convinced that it was something
of a far more savage nature. Charlie
hastened to the mill and related the
circumstance. whereupon George Clus-
ter proposed that they go back to the
woods and make a closer investiga-
ton. When they arrived upon the
scene the animal was still there but
didn't seem to appreciate their prox-
unity and arose and slowly walked
away. Not being armed, they didn t
dare attack so formida BILE a creature.

| The general passenger agent of a
certain railroad calls attention to a
case of awakened conscience which
he considers IA record A
few weer.s ago he received from a
clergyman Il letter stating that a
youEG man who had recently been
converted under his ministration de-
sired to make restitution to the rail-
roads for a journey from Roanoke,
Va, to Los Angeles. Cal. he having
beat his way for the entire journey.
The route was: Roanoke. Va, to

the latter part of the year 1895.
The young man, a laboring man of
limited means, would not be satisfied
until he had relieved himself of the
obligation he felt he was under to the
different roads in question. The gen.
eral passenger agent replied that he
would accept for his road and the
lines in interest at the lowest regular
fare rate in effect from Roanoke to
Los Angeles, which was at that time
S65. 45, and that, upon receipt of this
amount would aDportiOn it to each
line. Almost by return mail a draft
for the amount was received and the
distribution was made.

Attention is called to the advertise ment of the Cananea Consolidated Mln- ing Company, calling for two h'ihdfeo laborers to work at grading for the con- struction of the new line of railroad from Naco to the company's mines m the Cananea mountains. The survey for this road has been completed and the work of grading will be commenced just as soon as the laborers and equlp- ment for doing such work can De had' and as soon as the road is completed the entire business of the company, as well as that of all that mining section along the northern line of Sonora, will be done through Naco, instead of by way of Nogales, as at present and Tn the past. This, of course, will make ot Naco good business point, and those of our people who have had the fore sight and wisdom to invest in Naco real estate made no mistake. This, added to the boom that the Nacosari road will give in the matter of opening up other rich mineral districts in north ern Sonora, will make the year 1900 pro life of good results in thls quarter of the mining world.

 Without a Failure.
 The first indication of croup is hoarse- ness, and in child subject to that dis ease it may be taken as sign of the ap- proach of an attack. Following this hoarseness is peculiar rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child becom, hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is used in many thousands of homes in this broad land and never disappoints the anxious mothers. We have yet to learn of a single instance in which it has not proved effectual.

Eczema! The Only Cure,

Eczema is more than skin disease, and no skin remedies can cure it. The doctors are unable to effect a cure, and their mineral mixtures are damaging to the most powerful constitution. The whole trouble is in the blood, and Swift's Specific is the only remedy which can reach such deep-seated blood diseases.
 Eczema broke out on my daughter, and con.
