The publication of this pamphlet
in yesterdays papers has caused con-
siderable comment both socially and
politically, because Herr Loehning, as
a high official, having first hand
knowledge of the Prussian administra-
ton of Posen. disapproves of several
features of the ministrys Polish
policy. In this pamphlet Herr Loehn-
ing relates that after an interchange
of communications between Berlin

consent to the marriage of one OF the

AUTHOR OF DIXIE"
Daniel Decatur of Mt. Vernon,
Ohio is the Man.

Old Time Minstrels, now Nearly 30
Years 0ld-Learned the Printers
Trade when Boy, Wrote Dixie in
1859.
In little frame house that is
hardly more than hut, just over
Cemetery Hill, at Mount Vernon,
Ohio, Daniel Decatur Emmett, the
old time minstrel and the author of
he famous song Dixie" is spend
ing the closing years of long life.
The house has but three rooms-a
living room, a bedroom and kitch-
en-and there's an attic, which Mr..
Emmett calls the "flies.'
Mr.. Emmett's last appearance on
the stage was made two winters ago,
when the local Elks gave min
strel performance, and Dan agreed to
be present and sing "Dixie," which
he did with considerable effort.
Emmett was born at Mount Yer.
non in 1915. AS boy he learned
the printers trade, but abandoned
it to join The army. He became a
member of Oscar Browns Circus
Company in 1885, and in 1912, with
Frank Brown, William Whitlock
and Richard Phelan, formed what
was the first negro minstrel company
which made its first appearance at
the old Chatham Theatre, New York
They were known as the Virginia
Ministries, and went from New York
to Boston and later to England

JOINING THE UNION.
Carpenters and Piasterers Re-
quired to Become Members.

Factory Men VIII not Work in Roll
ing Mill IL Built With Non-Union
Labor.
A report was circulated on the
street Tuesday morning that the
workers who are to be employed in
the Marilla Glass Factory, now
building, had made demand that
the carpenters and plasterers erect
ing the factory should join the I'M
ion or the glass men would not work
in it after it was built Inquiry of
Mr.. Allen who is experimenting
the building disproves this report.
He says the men working there are
all non union except the brick lay
ers and masons but he knows of no
demand being made that they should
JOIN the union and that the men are
all busily at work. The report was
that the men had gone to Councils
vile and Fairmont to take the oath
in the union. A message from the
office of Mr.. Benjamin, superintend-
ent of the construction of houses on
on the Peninsula, states that his
men are at work and that he knows
nothing OF such a move. Mr.. Ben
jamin is at his home at Bradford,
Pa, and will not return here be-
fore the end of the week.
1t seems thas it was the workers
at the Rolling Mill and works up at
the Harner farm who were required
to join the unions. The men who
are to operate the mills are union men.
They have made the demand, which
was complied with by the builders
going to Fairmont and Connellsville
where there are local unions. A
great many OF them have gone and
taken out membership certificates
in the labor organizations.
The rolling mill is being rapidly
pushed toward completion. Much
of the work up to this date has been
the building of foundations under
ground, so it made but little show.
The next thirty days will see won
derful transformation there, and
the erection of buildings and ma
chinery above ground where it can
be seen. A great deal of work has
been done there in making sure
foundations. The mills are being
erected with view to permanence
Mr.. Geo. J. Huumbert was here
yesterday looking over the work in
which he is so largely interested.

Charleston, w. Va, July Boone
OF the points which was brought out
in the trial of John Richards and 9TH
els in the federal court here before
Judge Keller yesterday was that
Richards threatened to blacklist to
local unions all miners who refuse to
come out and join the strikers.
This point was emphasized as much
as the prosecution could emphasize
it. SO that it could be shown to the
court that the organization which is
opposed to blacklist by the EN-
pioyer proposes to maintain a black
list among those of its craft.
Testimony was presented to show
that the marches and the contribu-
tons from headquarters of the United
Mine Workers was to support the
men on strike. The men employed
in the mines testified that they were
afraid to work on account of the
gatherings of the strikers, and while
the speakers counseled obedience to
the law, it was shown they continued
to gather in large crowds in the vicin.
ity of the colliery and asserted they
would stay there until the men came
out OF the mines. The prosecution
brought out testimony yesterday to
prove that checks to purshase food
were sent here by w. B. Wilson and
John Mitchell. The prosecution has
closed its case and the defense will
start today.

Fairmont Evening Times.
Mad dog excitement ran high in the
East End last night, and a large
crowd gathered at the corner OF Pike
Street and Maple avenue to witness
the death of a large black animal that
showed symptoms of rabies.
The dog belonged to Jim Wisman,
who conducts a grocery store on the
corner mentioned. It had always
been much OF pet with everyone Ia
that end OF town, and when itshowed
the vicious symptoms last night It's
owner was quick TO recognize the fact
that it should be dispatched at once.
Getting his gun he waited till the
animal showed itself again on the
street When 1t did he fired at it,
slightly woundlng it. The dog then
ran under the store room, where it
bafled all attempts to dislodge IT,

The firing attracted number OF

ances the dog had been killed by the
volley and the crowd was breaking up
when, with fierce growl, the wound

half dozen wounds, came rushing
out from under the building.

he kicked it away and at the same

that killed the dog.
An investigation showed that
twenty shots had entered the body Of
the mad brute.
Those who saw the affair claim that
it was most lucky,occurrence that no
one was bitten. When the animal
came out it evidently meant to attack
the crowd, and If it had at least a
dozen persons would have been bitten
