ELECTION TOMORROW.
Voters very Much at Sea Over
Candidates.
Result Bound to be Greatly MuddIed-
j. L. Wharton Comes Out for Record
err and is Making Big Stir in That
Directi0n-0ther Notes.

Thursday is election day. All the
city officers will be elected and be-
sides these member is to be chosen
on the school board. He will serve
five years while the city officers serve
one year. The campaign has Jagged
somewhat and there is but one or
ganized movement In connection
with the event
This is the one that has for its rea-
son for existence the grievances of the
outer wards. A ticket has been nom
mated to represent these wards. 1t
is headed by w. e. Bailey and NJ. t.
Sisler as mayor and recorder respec-
lively
Candidates for council have been
nominated in the outlying wards by
the people and large vote is expect
ed to be polled in each of them. OPP
position candidates are springing up
in each ward and there will be hot
time.
In town there is great lot of fog
and no one knows just where he is
at. Mayor George c. Steele is a
candidate for re election and has a
great deal of strength. All others
proposed have declined to run.
Al Layton is candidate for re-
corder and somewhat of a sensation
was caused by the announcement OF
j. L. Wharton that he is candidate
for this Office. He came out on Tues
day evening for the place. Having
many warm friends he is making a
very active fight and will he factor
of great moment in the election.
Many are predicting his election.
Two voting places have been es-
tablished in town. One is at the
court house where all South of Wal.
nut street will vote The other is
at the Municipal Hall where North
of Walnut will cast their ballots
The polling places in the other wards
remain as before
t. Pickenpaugh is the only man
mentioned in connection with the of
fee of school commissioner. He will
probably be elected without OPPOSE
ton. He is serving in that capaci
ty at present and has made a splen.
did officer.

HOCH DAS BIER.
End of Drought at the Turn
Verein Club.

Plan put in Operation Where by Re.
freshments may again be Served
How Il will be Done-Moyement
Under way to Join National Organic
ation-Other club notes.
The regular monthly meeting of
the Turn Verein was held on Tues
day nights and it was well attended.
Two important matters to the mem
bers were discussed and a final de
cision reached in some of them. The
club will resume the serving of re-
freshments.
Orders are to be taken for beer by
the treasurer on Wednesdays from
seven to eight and on Saturdays
from one to two in the afternoon.
All those who want beer must or
der it at this time. Coupons will be
given the purchaser as receipt for
his money and he will then be al
lowed to call for his stuff whenever
he wants it.
This decision put an end to the
droath which has been prevailing in
the club for some time. Bottled beer
will be handled and the draught
will not be on tap as heretofore
Another matter of moment was dis
cussed to some extent and that is the
proposal to JOINT the national Turner
Bund. The secretary has been in
structed to correspond with officers
of this organization with view of
finding out just what will be required
of the local club TO get in and what
1t will cost each member along with
the advantages that will accrue tc
them.
It has been proposed to put the
club into the nationa! organization.
Some objections have beeen raised
to this but the German members
state that when the plan is under
stood that there will be no kicking.
The regular weekly Saturday night
dances have been resumed. All OF
the friends of the club are invited to
attend these dances.
A number of the members are al
! lowing themselves to be dropped for
non payment OF dues and they will
be sorry that they have allowed this
to occur, Notices have been sent to
all OF them be the secretary.

10000 TO STRIKE.
-
Rochester and Pittsburg Iron
and Coal Co. Men Are
Ordered Out.
WILL MAKE OTHERS IDLE.
Nearly as Many Ralroaders Will Be
Without Work, In Consequence.
Caused by Refusal of Manager TO

Sign Scale.
Altoona, Pa, April after mass
meetings of the Rochester and Pitts
burg Coal and Iron company's miners
were held at Punxsutawney and
Sykesyille yesterday, the threatened
strike was formally declared. 1t In.
wolves 10000 miners and will have
the effect OF curtailing the employ
ment of nearly as many more railroad
men employed by the Buffalo, Roches.
ter and Pittsburg Railroad company,
whose freight traffic will be nearly
paralyzed in consequence of the
strike. Not mine worker employed
by the Rochester and Pittsburg com.
pany will be at work today, except
the bumpers and track layers. 1t be
ing agreed to keep these men at
work to protect the mines.
1t was decided by vote, however,
that If General Manager l.. w, Rob
inson should attempt to eviet the
strikers from their homes, many OF
which are owned by the company, the
bumpers and track layers will also
be called out and the mines allowed
to flood It was also decided that
any overtures for a settlement rnst
come from Robinson. Any attempt
to import other miners will be resist
ed The strikers have assurance 81
support from the district and ma
tional treasures of the United Mine
Workers of America
The strike was ordered not for an
advance In wages. but because Lucien
w. Robinson, general manager of the
Rochester and Pittsburg Coal and
Iron company, has refused to sign the
agreement of the miners and oper
ators' conference at Altoona last
week The agreement at that confer
ence was the same as during the last
year, except that the mines along The
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg rail
way, all of which are managed by
Mr.. Robinson, the miners beina
granted their demand to have mules
haul the cars out instead of pushing
them as is the case in the mines OF
thin veins.
Regarding the conference Mr.. Rob
inson said to the Associated Press
representative yesterday at Punxsu
tawney.
THE Altoona conference would not
concede to the Rochester and Pitts
burg Coal and Iron company the
same conditions of labor as to Other
operators present on the ground that
in thin seams of coal the miner was
willing to perform more labor for the
same pay than In the thick seams OF
the Rochester and Pittsburg Coal and
Iron company"
Mr. Robinson says his company
proposed to pay the same scale OF
wages for mining their thick seams
as other operators peaid in the thin
seams Of coal, but insisted it was un
fair to discriminate against his com
pany in not granting the same rights
as the Altoona conference agreed tc
with all other operators as to hand
ling cars the same in thick seams as
in thin. Mr.. Robinson also agreed
to meet any price for mining in any
competitive field.
The miners have been earning bet
ter wages than ever before, but they
say they are tired Of pushing cars.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY
GETS VALUABLE GIFTS
Mrs. Ignatus DonneIly Presents 1t
With Manuscript Letters of
sJ.s Seer of Nininger.

The state historical society has re-
ceived from Mrs. IgnatiuS Donnelly a
valuable collection of books and man
uscripts which We're owned by her late
distinguished husband. Among the
documents are some original letters Of
rare value. There is one letter of pc
culiar interest to st. Paul people. It
is letter written to Mr.. Donnelly Feb.
25, 1864, by N. P. Langford, afterwards
a we'll known and influential citizen of
ST. Paul, who was then in Washing
ton. 1t is a lengthy document, dis
cussing the proposed opening of post
route between ST. Paul and Montana
points, in which he argues the neces-
sity for such route and the great
possibilities of the new West.
There is also long letter from Hon.
James Fergus, who founded the city of
Fergus Falls, and who died a few
weeks ago in Montana. He writes at
some length to Mr.. Donnelly regard
ing the formation of the territory of
Montana, and suggesting that Mr..
sLangford is the proper man to be APP
pointed territorial governor, and add
ing.that the one objection which may
be urged against him is his extreme
youth, Mr.. Langford being at that time
but thirty-five years of age.
Among the documents is the original
petition of residents of West ST. Paul
for annexation to st. Paul proper.

RAIN HAS RETARDED
WORK AT HATCHERIES
Recent Heavy Precipitation Is Re-
sponsibie for Breaking in of
@ Large Dam.

Rain has demoralized the improve
ments in progress at the fish hatch
cries during the past two months to
the extent that it is hardly probable
that the hopes of the fish and game
commission will be realized this year.
The first bad luck suffered by the
commission was the partial destruc-
ton of one of the big dams, and now
this has been further augmented by
additional damage in the washing out
of large amounts of sand used for fill
ing purposes.
This dam was for the purpose of
providing 9, number of artificial ponds
for breeding purposes. Nothing
daunted, however, Chief Fullerton has
arranged for the Strengthening of the
dam with a series Of piling, which,
with the aid of heavy timbers and
much rip-rapping, will enable it to
Withstand any deluge.
The improvements contemplated for
the fish hatcheries are extensive, and,
while lack of time and money will pre-
vent their completion this year, it is
hoped to have the grounds in shape
before the close of another.

Well Known EthnoIogist Is Honored by

and Pathological Students" Under the
auspices of this society there will be a
great celebration on Aug. IL, at juno
ton City, Kan, when monument to
the great explorer and soldier, Coro-

Coronado, some forty years after CO.
lumbus' discovery, led his soldiers on a
great expedition from New Mexico up
into Central Eastern Kansas, finding
several Indian provinces which he call
ed QuiVira, from which the new society
is named. For long time this expedi-
ton of Coronado was considered
somewhat mythical and little was
known of it. Mr.. Brewer was one of
the most prominent investigators of
this question: and more than any other
man succeeded in Identifying the route
taken by Coronado and his men, and
the old village sites in Kansas where
Coronado's men were.

Kastner girl was drowned seemed in
credible, and it was not until an hour
and a half later, when the parents ar
rived at the lake, that they learned
that their own daughter was also a
victim OF the treacherous water
The boy did notlearn of the death of
his sister until o'clock. He tended
to his fathers saloon during the lat
ter'S absence, and the bar room was
full Of loungers. Some one entered
and the boy asked concerning the
drowning. Like his rather, he had
supposed that only the Kastner girl
had been drowned. He heard the sad
news for the first time.
His grief was pitiful to behold. His
face paled, and he started to leave the
bar. A friend asked him what was
the matter.
MY God. it's Mary-Mary is
drowned"
Then he broke down and commenced
to cry. The men filed out of the sa-
loon, one by one, except a few, who
loitered about the bar. The boy stag
gered out of the place, and the saloon
was left to take care of itself. Later
a friend locked the place UP, and a
large placard was hung on the door,
"Closed temporarily"
Neighbors f1ocked about the place,
the men with sad faces, and the women
with tear-stained eyes. Little Mary
was known by all in the neIghborhood,
and the place that she held in their
hearts was apparent by the grief that
was manifested.
Looked Forward to Trip.
She had always looked forward with
