lions I have worked so hard all my life to get together" said Ross Dun- can. Then in his old manner he said, You will have to hurry to get that train.''
 Stuart rose and a conflict of feelings rose with him. What his father had just said moved him one way, the aft ernoon with Erie moved him another. He wanted to ask his father one ques- ton before he went away.
 Father" he asked almost timidly, "did you tell me that the strikers went out without giving the companies any notice or warning?'
 '.Yes.''
 "Do you mean that they gave abso- lutely no hint of their intentions to any one ?"ke
 Ross Duncan rose up a little, and his face changed.
 "They sent their representative, as they called him, to me about two weeks before the morning of the strike to confer about wages, but I wouldn't recognize any such representative with any right to interfere with my busi- ness and tell me what wages I ought to pay"
 "Who was the representativew Stuart asked the question, we'll know ing the answer.
 "Who was it? Who but that pray ing, pfous friend of yours, Erie Vas sall!' Ross Duncan sat up, and the wound on his forehead grew purple Stuart. was frightened at the sight. He could not say anything. His father sank down again, exhausted with his anger. Stuart went away without even word of farewell. There was a bitterness in his heart that was new to it. Erie had been right, then, ac- cording to his view. The company had received notice. There had been an attempt at consultation. As the train whirled him on he cursed in his heart the whole social perplexity.
 He reached the city, attended to the business and started back. the next day to Champion. It was just dusk when he stepped out on the station platform He thought a crowd of curious looking people was there. Something had hap pened. Dr. Saxon came up, seized his

 What's the matter, doctor?' asked Stuart, trembling at something, he | could not think what.
 ''Your father, my boy"- ''Is he worse"
 Come this way. My buggy is right here. I will drive you out to the house. Get right in"
 Stuart got into the buggy mechanic ally. The doctor threw himself in, 1 dark.
 "Tell me the truth, doctor" Stuart's voice was steady, but faint. The answer came after a moment. ''Your father died, Stuart, an hour ago. He had a stroke of apoplexy. There was some heart trouble. He did not suffer-"
 For a moment everything in the uni verse reeled about Stuart Duncan. Then he found he was asking questions and Dr. Saxon was answering them. When they reached the house, Stuart met Louise first. She came to the front door and threw herself into his arms, crying hysterically. Stuart had not shed tear yet. They led him into the room where Ross Duncan lay. The son stood and looked down at the cold face with that newly made scar on the forehead There was no thought in his mind that he was now the owner of several millions of wealth. He was thinking of the last interview he had with that father and his parting with out word of affectionate farewell. And still the tears would not come to his relief.
 At last he went out, and the sight of his sisters grief and fear brought the tears to his own eyes. He Wept with her. They talked together. The doc tor remained an hour and then took his leave The night wore on. Louise, ex- hausted with the shock, had gone to her room. Stuart was finally left alone. He sent the servants all away. He could not sleep. He paced the long hallway until daylight. Just as the sun rose he went in where his father lay and looked at him again. Ross Duncan's millions were Of no use to him now. Of what use were they to the son? What load of responsibility had come to him now! These mines, these labor troubles, this strike, these wages-what difference if he let them all go? He had a right to do as he chose with his own. He would dispose of it all and live abroad. He would what! He was planning all this and his father dead less than A hours! And, then, what responsibility did rest upon him? What difference did it make to him what wages the men re- ceived? Was he his brothers keeper? Were they his brothers? The whole thing was complex, irritating. His fa- ther's death had thrown burden on him that he did not want to carry.
 He was disturbed by a noise in the street before the house. He went to the window and drew aside the cur

WAR RIGHT AHEAD
Venezuela and Colombia Will Prob
ably Come to Blows.
&C USATIoNS AGAINST CASTRO
Venezuelan Government Said to
Have Assisted the Colombian
RevOIuttOnists.

Port of Spain, Trinidad, Aug. 2.-Vene-
and not only is that unfortunate republic
approaching a state of civil war, but seri-
Gus complications will, in all probability,
arise between the governments of Vene-
zuela and Colombia. President Castro,
while facing the uprising against his own
authority, is also accused of furthering
secretly the revolution against the CO.
lombian government Arms, ammunition
and the other accessories of war have
been quietly smuggled into Venezuela
through the waterways of the republic and
the first engagement is expected to be the
signal for uprisings in several widely sepa-
rated districts.
TO add to the seriousness of the situa-
tion in Venezuela itself, it is we'll known
that in the adjoining republic of Colom-
bla very strong feeling of resentment
against the Castro government exists on
account of what is considered a serious
breach of international law on the part
OF Venezuela for its alleged recognition
of If not actual assistance to the leaders
OF the revolutionary party OF Colombia.
1t is even said that not only has the
Venezuelan government permitted it's
ports to be used by the Colombian revo-
lutionists as a base for the collection
OF supplies, but it has winked at if not
actually assisted the Colombian revolu-
ttonists with certain articles of war.
Uribe-Uribe'z Work.
A report has been current here that
General Rafael Tribe Uribe, from Anti
oquia, republic of Colombia arrived in
Caracas several days ago under the name
of Senor Victor Toro, and had an inter-
view of about three hours with General
Castro. He went to LIE Guaira soon
afterward and proceeded on board the
Venezuelan gunboat Augusta, the name
Of which had been changed to Zumbador.
He found 1t well supplied with munitions
of war and started Immediately for Mara
caibo, where he met about 5000 troops on
the frontier between Venezuela and Co.
lombia, ready to act at once in the inva-
sion of Colombian territory.
Within twenty-four hours another dis
patch was received here that the Colom-
bian government had discovered the plan
laid down by General Tribe -Uribe after
his consultation with General Castro and
that six thousand Colombian soldiers had
been sent out to meet the invaders.

TEXAS OIL NEWS
Ground Floor Gusher in Yesterday.

A telegram from General Manager Brice.
of the Saratoga Oil company, announces
the coming of the Ground Floor COM
pany's gusher in block SO, near the Sara
toga we'll. This we'll has been on the ex-
pected list for week. It is significant as
additional evidence that the Saratoga we'll
will get the oil when it goes, deep enc gh.
This telegram also explainsNwhy no aews
was received Of the progress OF the drill
ing on the Saratoga. 1t will be remem-
bered that we said we hadn't heard for
several days. Well, the small pipe twisted
off $50 feet from the surface, but the tele-
gram says they are all right now 1t is
significant fact that quite a number of
the gushers have twisted their pipe off
some time before coming in. The Hogg-
Swayne was delayed for ten days. The
Beatty No. had the same experience,
and only short time ago the Manhattan
was reported with a twisted pipe. The
demand has been so great that some de-
fective pipe has been sold in the strenu-
GUS efforts to get orders filed.
This little mishap has put back the prob
able date Of the Saratoga's coming In, but
does not affect the question of our get
ting a gusher. There Is practically no
doubt on this point. That is why we say
Saratoga stock Is cheap at 80 cents a
share. When the we'll comes in it will
be worth a full dollar, and more, too.

When the steamer Schuylkill Of the An
Choir Line, tied up at the Northern elevator,
the scooperS who are connected with the
Longshoremen's Union declined to go to work
on her, thus inaugurating strike in sym
pathy with the freight handlers who are idle
at Erie. Agent Evans, Of the Anchor Line,
said to-day that the trouble at Erie began
with the opening of navigation. The long
shoremen refused to work for the same
wages, he said, as others of their craft were
getting in Buffalo. The Anchor Line kept
its freight away from Erie for while, and
then, upon entering into a contract with
Coyle G Kane to handle 1t, business there
was resumed. Coyle and Kane were will
ing to employ union freight handlers, but
the latter insisted upon conditions which
contractors will not grant The Anchor
Line officials hold that the present trouble
should have been settled between the Erie
men and the contractors, and not between
the men and the line.
Superintendent Kennedy, of the Lake Car
riers' Association, said that ths strike was
a violation of tle agreement made at De-
troit between the longshoIeInen and the YES
selmen. A clause in the agreement de-
clared that there should be no sympathetic
strike. President Joyce, OF the local long
shoremen, said the union could do no'hing
but obey the order of President keefe, of
the national association.

IRON OUTPUT. second ore producing
state in the union,
according to the annual report of the
geological survey, with an output of 1884,
944 long tons, valued at $24, ,S48, 1893, or
$2.4S per ton. The total output in the
United States last year was q, ,553, 161 tons,
an increase of 1,869,9 1888 tons, or II per
cent. over 1899. Says the report:
All of the ore produced in Minnesota last
year was of the red hematits variety. III
which class the state ranked first. with 4S-S
Per cent of the countrys total. 1t was also
357 per cent of the aggregate amount of all
iron ores mined in the United States. The
increase over the record of 1899 was 1673,110
TONS or 205 per cent. This accounts for over
one-half Of the total increase in production in
the United States in 1900. Minnesota prior to
1884 had produced no iron ore, but since 1894
has ranked second, and in seventeen years
this state shipped 1851, ,257 tons. of which
two-thirds came from the Mesaba range.
AS to the production of iron ore in the
entire Lake Superior region in 1900, the
report says:
The Lake Superior region, embracing mines
in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, pro-
duced its maximum output OF &c, 0,564, ,238 tons,
or more ore than was mined in the United
States in any one year previously with the
exception of 1899, and more than has been
reported any year by foreign country. IN
order to supply the demand, some old work
ings were reopened, and much exploration
work was done, while most of the large oper-
ations were called on for increased amounts.
In fact, it was a year Of maximum production
in all Of the ranges. Production by ranges in
the Lake Superior region was as follows:
Marquette, 1885, ,068 tons; Menominee, $780,
76O; Gogebic, 3,104,033; Vermilion, 1,675,949;

BOER BUTCHERS
Lord Kitchener May Be Less Lenient
HencefOrth.

London, Aug. Gold -blooded Boer
atrocities reported by General Kitchener
have caused feeling of horror through
out the country. This mornings news
papers call for strong measures to meet
this development of the war. Men who
resort to deliberate murder forfeit their
belligerent rights. The weakness of the
British position lies in the reluctance
of the military authorities to punish with
legitimate severity offenses against the
laws of war. Considerable dissatisfac-
tion has for some time past been felt here
owing to excessive leniency that Gen
eral Kitchener has displayed in his opera
tions against the Boer guerillas, but he
may alter his policy with this latest
phase of the campaign, as 1t will be neces-
sary for him to show the loyal natives
that he is able to protect them.

Iron Qualities Needed.

We need then, the iron qualities that must
go with true manhood. We need the posi-
tive virtues Of resolution, of courage, of in
dom1table will, of power to do without
shrinking the rough work that must always
be done, and to persevere through the long
days of slow progress or of seeming failure
which always come before any final triumph.
no matter how brilliant. But we need more
than these qualities. This country cannot
afford to have its sons less than men; but
neither can it afford to have them other
than good men. If courage and strength and
intellect are unaccompanied by the moral
purpose, the moral sense, they become mere
ly forms of expression for unscrupuIous
force and INSCRIPTIONS cunning If the
strong man has not in him the lift towards
lofty things, his strength makes him only a
curse to himself and to his neighbors
Woe to all of US If ever, as a people. we
grow to condone evil because it is successful.
We can no more afford to lose social and
civic decency and honesty than we can af-
ford to lose the qualities of courage and
strength. 1t is the merest truism to say that
the nation rests upon the individual, upon
the family; rests upon individual manliness
and womanliness, using the words in their
widest and fullest meaning.
We are in honor bound each to strive ac-
cording to his or her strength to bring ever
nearer the day when justice and wisdom shall
obtain in public life as in private life We
cannot retain the full measure of our self
respect if we cannot retain pride in our citi-
zenship. For the sake not only of ourselves,
but of our children and our children's chill
dren, we must see that this nation stands for
strength and honesty both at home and
abroad. Let us see to it that we neither
do wrong nor shrink from doing right be-
cause the right is difficult; that, on the one
hand, we infict no injury, and that, on the
others we have due regard for the honor
and the interest of our mighty nation; and
that we keep unsullied the renown of the
flag which, beyond all others of the present

confident faith in the future welfare and
