How Congress Spring Was Named.
When John Taylor Gilman, a mem
Der of Congress, visited the log houses
which chiefly constituted Saratoga in
it's early history, he was accompan-
led one day on hunting ramble by a
young son of the woodsman with
whom he boarded. When they return
ed to the cabin the boy enthusiastical-
ly shouted, ooh, ma, we've found a
new spring." who found it?" he
was asked. Turning to the distin-
guished lawmaker the little fellow adj
miringly exclaimed: why, the Con-
gress!" And to this day the name has
chung to one of the most celebrated of
the springs which made the place a
sanitary resort long before it became
the seat of summer fashion.-Ladies'

One William Blakely, a member
of the U. NJ. W., who is evidently
paid to write articles which will
place that organization always in
the front regardless of the facts in
the case, has lately written to a la
Dor journal an account of the trouble
between Gabe Stokes and Agitator
Rooney, wherein he shows his usu-
al love for prevarication. The state
ment made that Gabe Stokes and
Roy Blanks showed the white feather
by quickly leaving is entirely false.
The writer was present ana can tes-
tify so far as he saw that they beat
no hasty retreat, but stood their
ground like men when they were
outnumbered two to one. 1t seems
that the only fact stated by Blakely
is that Rooney shot Stokes in the
face when Stokes was some distance
away from him and not going to-
wards him. If cowardice was shown
it was when party of U. NJ. WIS

The severe dCouth in this county
will have a serious effect on all busi-

dustry of vast Importance to the
county, but, strange to say, one that
many people are now in conspi-
racy to ruin, if possible.
AS is usually the case during the
heated season, the stock of coke ac-
cumulates, and many car loads can
be seen stacked up ready for the big
winter demand. On account OF the

That Jim Wood and his gang hope
to succeed by practicing deception
is an evident fact. When they first
came to this county they came claim
ing that only peaceable means would
be employed in accomplishing their
purpose, but people had but short
time to wait until they became fully
convinced that their intention was
the use of force. if necessary. Next
we hear of the U. NJ. w. secretly at
work trying to fill up the mines as
far as possible with union men, un-
der the guise of being non-union, an
other form of deception. Then they
employed colored preachers to go
among their race and deceive IT, em
by lying. But up to this time the
operators have always been aware
of their evil intentions and acts and
have thus far been able to thwart
their evil purposes. And Agitator
Wood need not think for moment
that his slick scheme to get unioi-
men in large numbers into this
county on July 9th, by advertising
a free barbecue, is unknown to the
operators of our ,oal mines. His
movements and plots are well known
and will be met.
The diabolical plot to thus bring
in large crowd of thugs from other
States to capture and shut down the
mines of this county has been un-
earthed, and unless steps are taken
to prevent any attempt by torce on
that day to accomplish their pur-
pose, bloodshed will follow, as
there are now, at moments notice,
thousands of brave men in this
county who will risk their lives in
defense of the miners and operators
of this county who are willing and
ready to work and have no gricy-

Death of Duncan McGregor.

Duncan McGregor, one of the first
settlers and for forty years a continu-
Gus resident of this place, died at his
home at Sierra Madre, California,
January %, 1901, few minutes be-
fore midnight. Mr.. McGregor had
been suffering for week with an at
tack of the grip, but his condition
had not been considered serious. A
few minutes before his sudden demise
he was sitting on the edge of the bed
conversing cheerfully with his wife
and his son Roderick, when by what
seemed to be sudden impulse, he re-
clined on the bed and ceased to
breathe.
Duncan McGregor was born at
Perth, Scotland, in 1921 and emigrat-
ed to Canada while a boy. Here he
enlisted in the British army, serving
seven years as a soldier. On the 3lst
Of January, 1913, he was united in
marriage to Miss Jane Moss and the
following year with his wife emigrat-
ed to River Falls. Here they found
one settler, Joel Foster, who had pre-
coded them by one year. Mr. Nc
Gregor was a stoue-mason and brick
layer by trade and built number OF
the brick and stone store buildings
in this CITY. He preempted from the
government the homestead near this
city where the family resided until
the fall of 1886 when Mr.. McGregor
sold the property to g. w Chinook
and moved to California for the bene-
fit Of his health. For twelve years
just previous to his removal to Cali
fornia he had been engaged in the
hardware business in this CT ty.
To Mr.. and Mrs. McGregor were
born four children, three sons aud one
daughter. The wife and two sons
Roderick, OF this city and Norval, of
California, and an adopted daughter,
Mrs. T. L. Hedderly, of Minneapolis,
survive the departed husband and
father. The daughter, Clementine,
died when she was three years of age,
and one son, Malcolm, died in Cali
f0rnia four years ago. One sister OF
Mr.. McGregor, Mrs. Jane Hetherlng-
ton Of Cottage Grove, Mimi survives.
Mr. McGregor, by his long residence
among US; by the impulse which his
interest in, and intelligent further
ance Of every work of material aud
intellectual advantage gave to the
community; by his courteous and
kindly conduct; his honesty and char
ity, endeared himself to the people Of
this communi ty as few Others have.
