An Open Letter.
IDAHO SPRIN

IDAHO SPRINGS, Colo, October Is
Publisher Siftings-Owing to the fact that
} my name appeared prominently in an article
, published in the Gazette of October 10, pur-
porting to have been written by Eugene v
Debs, beg that you give me space III your
columns for this brief reply.
No one has ever claimed that Mr. Debs in
structed the members of the union to vote
the Republican ticket at the coming election
This article was evidently inspired by GER
tain personages i'll the camp who are vio-
lently opposed to and hope to, by such
methods, to break the ranks of the splendid
organization existing among the toilers in
this camp.
No leader of organized labor has, or claims,
the right to dictate TO the membership how
they shall vote upon any public question,
what religion they shall embrace or whom
they shall marry-tl1ese matters are left to
the individual interest, conscience or taste.
In passing, however it might be said that
in this purported letter, in any of the
long conversations we have had with Mr..
Debs, has he ever advised us to vote and
work for the interests of the Democratic
party or its nominees.
Yours Respectfully,
J. E. CHANDLER,
Financial Secretary No I3o

RUNNING THINGS
 TO SUIT HIMSELF
WORKING MANS MAYOR lNSTl- TUTES INVESTIGATIONS GRE ATEs CONSERVATION AND FIRES MANY OUT OF OFFICE.

San Francisco, January 2.-Since his inauguration on January s last Eugene E. Schmidtz, the labor union Mayor of this city, has wielded his official office with such vigor as to create consterna- ton in the various departments of the municipal government. Immediately af- ter assuming office the new Mayor insti- tuted a searching investigation into the conduct of the several offices with the result that sweeping removals are said to be pending and some have already been made.
 On the 18th instant County Clerk Ma hony was suspended, but secured a writ of injunction preventing the Mayor from proceeding further in the matter tempo rariiy. This was for an alleged violation of the purity of the election law. Then the school director, J. B. Casserty, was forced to resign, and today E. F.. Will Hams, justice clerk was forcibly elected from his office by the police after having been ~4spended on the charge that he spent much of his official time at the race track instead of at his office
 That the new Mayor was thoroughly in earnest was shown today when he de- liberately disobeyed a temporary in1unc- ton secured by Williams from the Su- perior Court to restrain him from busting him from office.

The bullet entered his stomach and ranged upward, passing through the body. He then opened fire and in an instant the shooting became general. The two Dipperts were stand ing together and had no chance to get Under cover. Henry was struck by a bullet and dropped dead where he stood.

preacher. but, in his own opinion, has
a knowledge of the Scriptures second

he can make clear the most obscure

hearers to bring him any puzzling
text they wish explained.
AT the close of a very large and
successful meeting country pumpkin

very important matter, he would like

Happy that an opportunity to show
his erudition had come at last, the
wise man encouraged the fellow to
come to the front and present his
problem.
What | want to know" said the
bucolic, is whether Jobs turkey was
a hen or a gobbler"
And when the preacher turned rec
and coughed, to hide his confusion
his interrogation remarked, in a voice
that was audible through the whole
