Il MT. IRON BRlWL.

An encounter at Mountain Iron,
up in Old Town, between three men
Sunday evening brought on serious
results. A board bill is said to be
responsible for the trouble, a sup
ply of intoxicants aiding the COM
batants, and a bare knuckle fight
resulted in one of the number,
named Rossi, who got the worst of
the fstic encounter, going for a
gun, and upon his return he plug
ged both assailants, John Ritz re-
ceiving a ball in the lett lung, from
which he will recover, and Andrew
Murnek being struck in the left
arm.
Rossi was immediately taken into
custody and given an examination,
being bound over.

DID FOU RITE.

About two weeks ago woman
made the rounds of the Virginia
business houses, seeking cash do
nations ostensibly for Minneapo-
lis Children's Home. To those who
permitted their finer feelings and
generous impulses to be touched,
and they were many, the following
press notice sent out by Rev. E. P.
Savage, superintendent of the Chill
dren's Aid Society of Minneapolis,
will prove interesting if not pleas
ant reading:
"a woman has been through the
state for two or three years past col
lecting money, as she says, for a
Children's Home in Minnea polls;
sometimes she calls it German
Home. Her name is Mrs. Harp, and
it is well-known fact that she does
not represent any Children's Home
or anything that is in any way a
charity. She has private lying in
place where girls go in times of
confinement, paying for their care
There is no board of responsible
persons or organization in charge
of the affair; it is wholly a private
! matter and whatever money she OBJ
tains she uses as she pleases.
We repeatedly find that persons
who have not taken the pains to
look into the matter have given hey
money, stPposing that they were
giving to the work of the Children's
Home Society of Minnesota. It has
been stated by some persons that
she has had our literature i'm her
possession and hes given the1a the
iD1 preston that she has'come in the
place>of our Rev. D. B. Jackson, who
died awhile ago, 80 that they were
the more easily 1nisled.
All the authorized representatives
of the society have credentials and
Its friends are earnestly requested
ito see to it tha"they give money fol
the work only such authorized
representatives"

interchange pretty truthfully re-
marks: IF a man had bull pup he
would look after it carefully, and
not let it run all over town at night.
But It he had a boy it is different.
He is turned loose at an. early age

wonder where the great army of
loaters, cigarette fiends and gambl-

ated from the pure seed gathered
at home, sown broadcast on the

to be- given fair chance with the

KITCHENER DISGUSTED
At the Forlorn but Stubborn Resist
ance of the Beers.

London. August 20.-In. a dispatch
dated July Sth, and detailing the con-
dition of affairs at the front at that
time, Lord Kitchener says:
There are no more than 1880 Beers
now under arms. Although they are
not able longer to undertake extensive
operations, their apparently inexhaust-
ible supplies Of food enable them to
maintain an obstinate resistance with
out retaining anything or defending
the smallest portion of this vast coun-
try.
The wearing down process is neces-
sarily slow, rendering the employment
of a large number of troops still neces-
sary. Great patience is still required
to see the inevitable end Of an insen-
safe resistance. while it cannot affect
the result, has become unjustifiable in
prolonging the war and the sufferings
of women and children"
Since this dispatch was written the
losses of the Roers have brought their
forces down 10 about II 900.

A BIG INJUNCTION SUIT.
Injunctions Against the Ducktown
Copper Plants Dissolved.

Knoxville, Tenn, August 20.-Judge
Mcconnell, sitting at Cleveland, Tenn,
today dissolved injunctions granted
two weeks ago in a case that involves
millions of dollars. At Ducktown,
Tenn. s5,O0O,000 have been invested in
the copper industry and two mammoth
smelling plants built. About forty
farmers claim that their land has been
ruined by the fumes from the plants,
destroying all vegetation, sulphric acid
being used in the process. They filed
suits for damages and cessation of the
alleged nuisance and were granted in
functions two weeks ago, the observ-
ance of which practically shut down the
plants. Three thousand men are en-
ployed in the industry and one feature
of today'S hearing was the presentation
of a monster petition signed by 5000
citizens of Polk county asking the dis
solution of the injunction.
The Tennessee Copper Company and
Ducktown Sulphur, Copper and Iron
Company are the plants involved. The
first has spent $3,OO0,000 and employs
1000 men; the last has spent 81, ,000, 900,
is ready to put in s4,000,0O0 more and
employs 1000 men. Individual dam
age suits will be heard at the Septem-
ber term of court.

THE IOWA DEMOCRACY.
State Ticket Observation-Disclosures City
Platform Endorsed.

Des Moines. Iowa, August 21.-The
ed a ticket with Thomas J. Phillips
for governor, on a platform re-affirm-
ing the national platform adopted July
5, 1900, at Kansas City, with the addi-
ton Of plank on state issues, demand
ing reform in taxation laws, the repeal
of the Mulct liquor law and the enact
ment of a local option license law and
several other matters.
The chief contest in the convention
was on the adoption of the platform.
The struggle began in the district
caucus held before the convention as
sembled in the morning, the anti-silver
forces succeeding in naming a majority
of the committee on resolutions There
was a protracted session Of this COM
mittee and finally at $3.50 O'Clock in the
afternoon a majority and two minor
ity reports were submitted to the con-
vention. The majority report ignored
national issues entirely and confined
itself exclusively to the state issues
outlined above.
The first minority report agreed with
the majority report. except In a pre-
ambIe which reaffrmed the Kansas
City platform. The second minority
differed from each of thes others In Its
preamble only, which set out that state
issues were paramount in this cam
paign.
The first minority report re-afdrmine
the Kansas City platform. was adopted
ON the call of the roll By counties, amid
much confusion by a vote OF 6s9h Il

FOR CRIMINAL ASSAULT
A Negro Is Taken to Ashevflle, Ala.
for Trfal-Fear of Lynchfng.

Birmingham, Ala, August 20.-Sheriff
North, of ST. Clair county, left here
today. accompanied by ten deputies,
having in charge John Brown, colored,
who was indicted at Ashville, ST. Clair
county, yesterday, at special term of
the grand jury for assaulting Miss Far
rell, a young white woman residing
near Springville.
The crime occurred last May and
armed men secured the woods for
weeks in search of Brown. One negro,
who fled when called upon to halt, was
shot to death. Brown was finally cap
tured at Charleston, S. c., and brought
here for safe keeping. At the prelimin-
ary trial his victim fully identified him.
When the officers reached Asheville
today with the negro. a large crowd
met them, but there was no indicat tion
Of violence. \ still larger crowd fol-
lowed the she:iff's party to the Jail af-
ter Brown had been arraigned and had
pleaded not guilty.
Citizens of the county have assured
the governor that the law will be al
lowed to take it's course, but no little
apprehension IS felt. Brown will be
tried Thursday.

Seattle, Washn., August 20.-J T.
Snyder, a resident of Juneau, arrived
on the steamer Farallon today from Ju-
neau. Mr.. Snyder was on the lost Is
lander. was in the water three hours,
clinging to a raft and was finally pick
ed up unconscious. He left the boat
just half a minute after the captain
jumped over board and they both held
on to the same raft for fully half an
hour. In conversation the captain said
he could not understand why the boat
went down so quickly. The captain
finally said: Boys, 1 cannot stand it
any longer" and, casting his life pre-
server away, at once sank. At the in
quest held at Juneau which Mr.. Snyder
attended, evidence developed which
may tend to excuse the captain for not
beach1ng ithe steamer at once. Mr..
Snyder said:
THE pilot testified that he was on the
bridge and that as soon as she struck
he told the captain he was going to
beach her but the captain said: No,
there is better place about three miles
from here and she will easily float that
long,
1.-The testimony showed that when
the vessel struck the water rushed in
in full force, carrying the body of the
stowaway and the sailors with it.
This was done without the captains
knowledge and 1 think excused him
from thinking vessel would float several
hours, which it would have done had
the water tight compartment not been
opened, and he could have beached her
in small bay about three miles away.
1t was established that if the pilot had
carried out his intention he could have
gotten her on the beach without the
loss of any lives except the stowaways
