every event, if the majority of his con-
nary intelligence. Should he win his
party's nomination he will find his re-
turn to his seat challenged by one of
the ablest citizens of the state and one
of the most steadfast adherents of the
principles behind which he, Tawney,
is now trying to crawl for safety.
AS a lawyer and as public man
Senator McGovern represents the very
best type of Minnesota citizenship. He
is at once thinker and an orator, and
his popularity in his own county has
been attested by his incumbency for
some fourteen years of the office of
county attorney. His career in the
state legislature has shown him to be
as we'll a legislator of experience and
discrimination, who in the national
house of representatives could be de-
pended on to talk infinitely less and
accomplish infinitely more than did his
voluble opponent.
Great astare the services which Mr.
Tawney has of late rendered to sound
public morals and public policies, the
greatest of all will be rendered by him
when he retires from his present con-
gressional job in favor of his Demo-
cratic opponent.

PERRYVILLE, KY, Aug. 6.-Thirty
masked men, mounted on swift horses
and heavily armed, caused a reign Of
terror in the neighllorhood of Perry
vile last night, and severely logged
William Goodnight, George Russell
and Wallace Bottom, residents of that
section
The men rode into Perryville from
the direction of a large cave north of
town, which was the rendezvous of
the tollgate raiders who terrorized the
community several years ago. They
dashed through Perryville and pro-
ceeded to the house of Goodnight
Quickly but quietly surrounding the
house, they called for him to come out
or be cremated, as they intended to
burn the place If he refused.
When Goodnight appeared, in re-
Spouse to their summons, he was Sc
curely bound, after which several
members of the party piled the lash
numerically. He was then ordered to
go to work, leave the country at once,
or get a rope the next trip
Leaving Goodnight, the whitecaps
went to the home of George Russell,
in the same neighborhood, and gave
him severe beating. They then pull
ed out Wallace Bottom, whom they
served in like manner.
Goodnight said he recognized sew
eral Of the party, and some arrests
may follow. Sometime ago notes, pur-
porting to be from whitecaps, were
left at the doors of several good citi-
zens, but they were treated as a joke.

DIED AS HE LIVED,

The fate of the outlaw Tracy is a
complete vindication of the ascendant
cy OF civilization and law. It was in
evitable, and it was recorded aft a time
when the peaceful elements of Aneri-
can society had all but concluded that
the bandit had successfully defied both
law and civilization.
Dying by his own hand, this muir
derous marauder had resorted to the
easiest way in which society could
nave been rid of him. His death will
be warning to desperadoes every-
where that such a career as his can
have but one ending, and that neither
personal daring nor recklessness of
human life weigh aught in the scale
against the social law of self-preser-
walton.
Ihere was nothing underlying the
conduct of Tracy save unredeemed
criminaiity. He had constituted him
self the armed foe of civil order. he
had challenged the ascendancy of bu-
A Ae"poioAoiiity IN the conduct OF
lie. and he has paid the penalty. There
was no time when his escape from the
consequences of his crimes was a pos
sibility. No blood-stained Pariah such
as he, without single redeeming char
acteristfc, could have pursued his wan
ton career in the prevailing condition
of human advancement without con-
stituting himself sooner or later the
author Of his own undoing.
Peaceful men are often, disposed to

Must you leave US, heart of the summer
time?
Beloved of the flower and the bird and
the bee!
Would we might hold the year at its
prime,
With the green in the grass and the
blue in the sea.
o fair, still morns, with the blue skies
over,
With the low of kline and the hum of
bees.
With the south wind lifting the scent
from the clover,
And the soft low chirp of birds in the
trees!
o long calm ewes when the lettering sun
Stands still while in the far hills
crest,
When the warm, swift hours of the day
that is done
Are merged in the starlit hours Of rest!
Must we lose you all? All, we hold you
dearer
Because you must pass with your beau

The far away winter is creeping nearer
Soon, his breath will chill the heat OF
the noon.

NIGHT WATCHMEN AT
COLLIERY MURDERED
Deed of Blood for Which Strikers
Claim None of Them Is Re-
sPonsibe.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. 6.-Dan-
lei Sweeney, a Waterman in the en-
ploy of the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western company, at their Bliss col
iery in Hanover township, was found
dead in field this morning. He quit
work at midnight and was followed by
a score of men. The men were making
threats and Sweeney was afraid of
them. After he thought the crowd that
followed him had dispersed he left for
his home. This was the last seen Of
him alive. The supposition is that the
men who followed him from the mine
were lying in wait for him and when
he approached the spot where they
were hiding they assaulted him with
pick handles and beat his brains out.
The murdered man told the superin-
tendent of the mine where he was en-
ployed that some of the strikers had
spoken to him last week and advised
him that it did not look right to see
him going to work, and that if he was
wise he would quit at once. Sweeney
said he needed employment as his fam
lily was in want. The next day anoth-
err delegation of men met him on his
way to work and told him if he did not
quit work he would be sorry. Sweeney
said these warnings worried him, but
he resolved to continue at work.
At strike headquarters in this city a
statement was given out that an in
vestigation had been made of the kill
ing of Sweeney, but there was no evil
dence to show that strikers had COM
mitted the crime. 1t is said the dead
Waterman, who was at one time fore
man of a mine at Nanticoke, had dis
charged some employees who made
threats that they would get even with
him. The strike leaders think revenge
upon the part of the discharged en-
ployes led to the murder.
Michael Yislxo, John Smith and Ig-
natz Shukie, all foreigners, who were
last seen in Sweeney's company, were
arrested tonight, charged with being
implicated in the murder.
The local coal operators say they
now fear reign of terror will spread
over the coal region and that the state
militia will be kept busy in many parts
Of the strike territory.

THE MINNESOTA CAMPAIGN.

There is satisfactory evidence that
and anxious to make an aggressive
campaign all along the line. To sup
plement a state ticket not excelled in
the history of the party in the high
standard of character of nominees, and
of popularity much beyond the aver
age, the Democrats of the various con-
gressional and legislative districts and
of the respective counties, are getting
their best men on the tickets.
1t is safe to say that the personnel
of the candidates on the Democratic
ticket, when it is completed in the diff
ferent counties, will be above objec-
ton, will be such as TO command ear
nest and enthusiastic support on the
ground of merit.
Democrats of the state are getting
together and every convention is mark
ed by harmony and good feeling. This
year there are no issues on which
they are divided. The state platform
declares the party doctrine in unmis-
taxable manner, in words so plain that
all who read may understand. and I'M
derstanding must approve.
From Hon. l.. A. Rosing, nominee for
governor, to the candidate for the hum
blest office, hearty effort will be put
forth to make the result a landslide
And with such united effort there is
no doubt but that wonders can be &C
complished. The appearance of for
mer Gov. John Lind as can
date for congress in the Fifth (Min-
neapolis) district has already had an
invigorating effect upon the rank and
file of the party membership. His
election is a foregone conclusion, and
his enthusiastic support of the party
platform and it's candidates will add
thousands to the vote normally ex-
pected. His name is a towerof strength
and will turn the tide in favor of the
Democratic candidate in many a close
district or county.
Mr.. Rosing's candidacy is also grow
ing III favor. lie was, before the con-
vention, well known throughout the
state by reason of the magnificent or
ganization he had perfected and di-
rected through three previous cam
paigns. All those who profited by his
support in the past are coming to the
front in his support now. The other
nominees on the state ticket have also
been shown to be wise selections,
Nothing but praise is heard Of them
from every quarter. Where best known
they are most popular, and candi-
date whose neighbors speak him fair
can confidently trust his case with
those who must hear of him through
others.
The management of the state cam
paign is in the hands of experienced
and enthusiastic men. After the bat
tie has been fought there will be no
faults of omission or commission to
be laid to their charge.
Let the good work of lining I'D for
the final charge in November go on
without tagging.

make light of the sacrifices which their
representatives in public station make
on their behalf. The career of Tracy
shows, as has so often been shown be-
fore, that the officers of American law
danger can appal, and no difficulties
can discourage them in the fulfillment
of their obligations to those they rep
resent. The men whose devotion to
duty resulted in the death of this
desperate, as we'll as those whose eff
forts in the same behalf were unsuc-
cessful, have rendered a service to
literally beyond estimation.

His First Experience.
Mr.. Mooney says that he has been
running on the Burlington since it was
built fifteen years ago, and this was his
first experience, and he sincerely hoped
1t will be the last. Six guns staring one
sation to experience. Mr.. Mooney be-
heves that the robbers killed one of
their number, either purposely or ac-
cldentally. Several shots were fired,
some by the robbers, and the rest by
the express messenger. The dead man
was dumped off short distance from
where the affair occurred, the robbers
having taken his body on the engine
when they started off. Mr.. Mooney
says that all of the men wore masks,
but that while one was holding a gun
IN his face, the handkerchief which
concealed his entire face except the
eyes, fell off, and that he managed to
get good look at him. He could iden-
THY him, he says, as the young man

wore good clothes.
The express car had two holes blown
into it's bottom and was left at East

bags OF money only contained $4,000.

the men struck me with his rifle and
hurt my head badly. I finally got the
PIN out and they took the cars ahead
about "a mile, where they blew open
the safe, using three charges of dyna-
mite. The men were dressed in blue
overalls and jumpers and had on
siouch hats. They had large bandanna
handkerchiefs tied over their eyes and
faces. While blasting the car they
killed one of their own men. I don't
know whether this was intentional or
not. The car was so badly wrecked

George Q. SOmerS, general freight

said:
The experience was an interesting
one to all, and fatal to one. The spot
where the hold-up occurred was ideal
in its location. 1t was between a high
hill and sand bank i'll cut The rob
bers had prepared against every con-
urgency. The only unexpected incident
was the killing of one of their number.

of one of the robbers, who saw, their
fellow bandit was weakening. There is
no certainty of this, however
1t was very startling affair. 1t oc-
Cured about 1880 o'clock, the train
being somewhat late on reaching the
scene of the robbery. Perhaps twenty
men on the train had not yet retired.
All Were Smoking.
Eight gentlemen were smoking in
the club car When the engineer ap-
preached switch at the sand pile the
light was suddenly turned to red, and
lantern swung the train to a stop.
From the off side two men sprang on
the tender and showed revolvers into
the engineers face and compelled Hisl
to stop. Two other men covered the ex-
press car, and others went back to cut
off the express and the combination
buffet-baggage cars. All the bandits
were evidently railroad employees, or
had been. They were thoroughly IA
miliar with railroad parlance, and
knew how to give and execute orders.
When the Pullman conductor found
+ he could not uncouple the cars he
shouted to the engineer to Slack FER
back which was done. Then all the
trainmen were ordered to sit down on
the edge of the bank and await devel-
opments. They were told, and politely,
too, that they would not be molested if
they did as they were told. All the
