WYOMING REGION IS QUIET.

 Drum-Five Special Officers from Philadelphia Who Were Kidnapped Returned to Their Homes. Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 3.-The situas ton in the Wyoming region today as far as it relates to the engineers, fire men and pump runners and the mine workers generally shows no change from that of yesterday.

There were few changes among the men at starting time this, morning which were generally in fa- vor of the strikers. Some of the c0m- panies, however, have reserve force ill readiness to take the place of any man who quits work. Several col- lieries are said to be working short handed and if many more men leave their posts these operations will be compelled to shut down and the mines allowed to become flooded.
 Reports are constantly coming In from the surrounding region of petty violence perpetrated principally by boys, but no one has as yet been seri- ously hurt. At Miners Mills, a short distance north of here, there was 9 gathering of strikers headed by q fife anc drum band last night and this morning, but the men did nothing but march around the town.

ShaGer. was born March 10. 1870. and de
parted this life September 4, 1901. She
was in the 33rd year of her life. She was
the daughter of Arthur and Mary J. Bailey.
Sister ShaHer was Christian lady. She has
been member of the NJ. Z. Church for Is
or ~ years. Her life was gentle aud con-
sistent. industrious and faithful TO the duties
of her home and family. She was aiIine
for some months, yet uncomplainiugly she
tired TO bear up under what she no doubt
considered serious Affections, with that
Christian grace and forlitude and cheerful
ness which characterized noble Spirit, en-
deayoring to shine away the threatening
shadows which she saw dawning over her
home and little family. But when the in
evitable came she was ready, aud without a
sigh or single fear she gently fell asleep in
Jesus. Truly her death Is a great loss to
her devoted husband and two small children,
unto whom she was bosom companion and
guardian angel. How sad indeed, that
they are left so lonely. but such is this
world. I'm the midst of life we are in
death ~

at the NJ. E. Church in Independence on
Saturday morning. the 9th, at 10 O'Clock,
where appropriate 'evices were conducted
by her pastor, c. B. Meredith, who directed

third Psalm. IL will fear no evil for Thou

VOTE FOR ALL FIVE.

OF the Constitutional Amend
ments, the first proposes to elect
the Secretary of State same as the
other officials, and this is right, as
it is a very important Office. This
amendment also proposes that all
fees collected by subordinate Off
cials shall be fully accounted for
and full report made OF same to
the Governor.
The second amendment proposes
to pay a fair salary to all State off,
Gals and require them to turn ali
fees in the State Treasury instead
of into their own pockets, as at
present. Is there anyone going to
vote against this1
The third amendment proposes
to have five Judges of the Supreme
Court instead of four, so that they
can decide questions without hang
ing them up and no decision at all,
as at present. Who would vote
against thisl
The fourth amendment proposes
that we shall not keep over a mil
lion dollars loahng around idle to
the credit of the School Fund of the
State, but that we shall spend all
this money over million on the
free schools Of the State. This
should carry by reclamation, for if
there is any good reason for piling
up lot of the peoples money TO
lie idle and rusty in the vaults of
the State Treasury for the benefit of
future generations, who laugh at
the old fogies who did it, we have
never yet heard it.
The fifth proposed amendment
calls for a registration law of all
the voters, so that all the buns,
hoboes, fresh foreigners and i'm
ported niggers cannot vote and
control the elections in this State,
while our people, who own the
property and pay the taxes, take a
back seat. So that we are heartily
in favor of all the proposed amend
ments.

The Fairmont Normal School
opened Tuesday Of this week, with
bright prospects for a good years
work. The attendance this winter,
however, will probably not be as
good as usual on account Of the
demand throughout the State for
teachers, and every one who can
get certificate Of any kind and
wants a school, can get one. The
result is that many boys and girls
who should be in school, will be
out teaching, or at least drawing
pay for it anyhow.

they advanced along many lines.
II may be asked il these senator's
can so surely predict the action Of
the railway presidents Why have
they not already interceded to pre-
vent the hardship which has been
worked on the miners by the already
prolonged strike, but the answer
should be plain. They have inter-
fered for the same reason that the
President has not inierfered, viz.
for the reason that their friends
were too deeply interested in the
crushing of the miners union and
that only party exigcncics would
move them to ask any sacrifice from
the mine operators.
TIL
There is some indication that the
Republican leaders mean to repu-
date the President. Senator Plat.
whose antipathy to the President
has long been known, has stated to
the representative of a New York
paper that the New York Republi-
can Platform will not advocate Mr..
Roosevelt's nomination in 1904 and
that 1t is probable that the platform
will not endorse his views ON the
trust question. 1t has long been
recognized that Mr.. Roosevelt had
few friends among the capitalistic
class which is popularity referred to
as "Wall Street" but it was not sup
posed that SO shrewd politician
would give SO plain an evidence of
his antagonism to the party's leader.
When Mr.. Roosevelt was persuaded
to sidetrack the tariff reform move
ment, so dear 10 the members of his
party in the west, by the advocacy
OF trust control by constitutional
amendment, it was supposed that
his sacrifice of principle would in
sure for him the cordial support of
Plat and his ilk but such appears
not to have been the case. Under
the circumstances, the President
seems to be much in the position of
man who has fallen between two
stools. He has forfeited the respect
of the western Republicans in his
effort to secure the support of the
eastern capitalists and now they
give indications of rejecting him.
