Frank Terrell, of Bold Springs,
has moved his saw mill from Will
Turner's place, above town, back
home again. He says that the
weather is too cold to work at the
saw mill business so far away from
home.
Bachelors are real curious peo-
pie, anyway. / was talking to ore
the other day and he said that he
saw in my items few weeks ago
that there was bachelor who had
a severe case of heart trouble and
1T put him to thinking whether he
had a heart or not, and he said he
had been hunting for his heart
ever since and hadn't found it yet.
He has about come to the conclu-
sion that he hasn't one, but he
says he has something in place of
q heart.

DIED.-On Monday of last week
the family of F A Hargrove, of
Bold Spring, was shocked by the
sad news of the death of their
daughter, Miss Addie Hargrove,
at Milledgeville. she had been a
sufferer for several years until the
Angel of Death came and relieved
her Of her suffering. Her remains
were brought home, where the fun
eral was conducted by Rev S r
Belk, of Marietta. Her body now
rests in the family cemetery near
Bold Springs. The bereaved fam

One of our good neighbors, who
lives about two miles east of here,
decided that he would burn off
some sage grass last week, during
the cold weather while the ground
was frozen, and the fire got out
and burned up his fence. Because
the ground freezes is no sign that
dry chestnut rails will freeze too
hard to burn.

Yes, David, it seems to me that
we all ought to know the differ

But if you don't know | will tell

Special to The Globe.
ELGIN, Ill, Sept. S.-Mr. and Mrs.
Louis Hembracht believe in returning
good for evil. While the family was
absent last night a burglar broke open
rear window with an ak, entered the
house and secured 5000, one sealskin
jacket, two gold watches and a child's
saving bank.
When Mr.. Hembracht discovered the
loss he called his sons and the party
started after the thief on horseback.
Near Spaulding station they overlook
a suspicious character and found the
stolen goods on his person. The thief
was escorted to the Hembracht home,
where the family lectured him on the
course he had taken in life. After
promise that he would lead bettes
life the man was given square meal
and allowed his freedom. He was also
offered shelter over night, but politely
refused the offer.

TWO STRIKING MINERS
SHOT AND STABBED

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept. 8.-A
fight today between striking miners at
Maltby resulted in the death of Sis
tieno Vancastelli and the probable fa-'
tai injury of Frank Portray. Portray was
stabbed several times
All last night strikers gathered in
the vicinity of the Maltby mine, of the
Lehigh Coal company, at Maltby, and
the Harry e. colliery, at Forty Fort. 1t
was rumored that both of these mines
were to start today with full force OF
men, and the strikers had pickets on
all roads leading to the mines to in
tercept any men who might be on their
way to work A heavy fog prevailed
and it was difficult to see people In the
roadway. Shortly after Z o'clock
number of strikers on guard at the
Maltby colliery saw two men approach
ing, carrying guns. The pickets came
to the conclusion that they were nom
union men going to work. The strang-
ers were stopped and the strikers
crowded around them. One striker in
the crowd, who spoke Italian, said the
men were starting on a hunting trip
and that they were union miners.
The Other strikers did not understand
what was said and attempted to take
the gun away from Vancastelli. He
resisted, fight ensued, and soon the
two Italians were lying in a pool of
blood in the roadway. Vancastelli was
shot in the side and the left side of
his face was crushed. His companion,
Portray, was stabbed in the side several
times.
Coal and iron policemen were on the
scene few minutes after the discharge
of the gun was heard. They found
Vancastelli dead and Portray uncon-
scious In one of the pockets of Van
castelli's coat was found a union min
er's card
The news of the riot brought large
number of deputy sheriffs to the scene,
and on their arrival the mob dispersed.
No arrests have been made.
Hiram Fisher, who is charged with
shooting a Polish woman last night at
Edwardsville, was today removed to
this city. Fears were entertained that
he would be taken from the lookup and
hanged. All night long a mob sur
rounded the building and was so
threatening that Burgess Dando did
not give the accused man a hearing.

Glittering with diamonds and rubies,
the detectives room at the Central po-
lice station last night resembled with
this array of baubles, Ali Baba's cave,
where his forty thieves stored their
plumber. The police recovered the
treasure soon after a battle between
James O'Malley, Wilson's pal, and
three detectives. 1t was not the booty
of even score of desperadoes that
made the room brilliant, but stolen
goods taken from the home of John
Wilson at 31S Walnut street.
Wilson was arrested early Sunday
morning for perpet ling a desperate
holdup, and his pal, James O'Malley,
was taken into custody yesterday aft
ernoon.
Since his arrest Wilson has been
subjected to the most severe cross -ex-
animation by Chief O'Connor, and yes
terday afternoon confessed that he is a
resident Of st. Paul. He gave his
house number as 31S Walnut street.
Detectives DAILY and Lavalle and Pa
trolman Morgan were detailed on the
case and a search of the house last
night was productive of the above list
of articles.
The plumber, most of which was Sc
cured outside of ST. Paul, will inven-
tory more than $4,000. 1t is largely
made up of costly jewelry, one ruby
set alone exceeding $1,000 in value
Besides the jewels there are dresses,
mems clothes, pocketbooks, opera
glasses, watches, baby clothes, ladies'
garments and score of small knick-
mack, trinkets and bric-a-brac.
Plumber Taken From House.
From the list of goods it is evident
that the men were housebreakers, as
well as bold highwaymen. 1t is even
probable that most Of the plumber was
taken from residences, as a majority OF
the articles are ladies' jewelry and
finery.
Wilson is married man and his wife
and two children live at the house raid
ed by the police. Mrs. Wilson denies
all knowledge of her husbands crimes
and told the police that her first inkling
of his wrongdoing was received Sun
day when she read an account of his
capture in the papers.
She made no resistance when the Of
ficers insisted on searching the house,
and when the valuables were taken
from trunks and valises, she appeared
as much astonished as the men con-
Quoting the search.
Wife Is a Pretty Woman.
Mrs. Wilson is handsome little
woman and has an air of refinement
and well educated. She cried bitterly
when her husbands ill-gotten plum
der was pulled from it's hiding places.

If a man rises and asks, when is it
advisable to kill?" He will probably
look calmly back and say: "Unneces
sary bloodshed should be avoided" The
anarchists see in the prevailing dis
content over the combinations of cap
ital and in the widespread interest and
effect of the-coal strike a lever to move
many minds. While man munches a
pleasingly favored wafer or sips a

tions of .'proletariat uprisings" and the
"evil Of exploiting labor" without
thinking what is behind the talk. Theo-
retically dealing a blow to capitalism"
does not imply assassination and the

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept s.
THE workingmen of the country are
hearing nothing from the Republican
press now and will hear nothing from
the Republican spell binders later on,
except the cry of prosperity and full
dinner pail" said Chairman James H.
Griggs, of the Democratic congress
sional committee, yesterday. This
Republican cry is fallacious and mis-
leading, and if any man with a fixed
income will sit down and figure for
fifteen minutes he will find it so.
Prosperity, eh? What is prosperity?
When times are truly prosperous prices
of everything are usually high, but
wages are correspondingly so. They
keep pace with high prices of neces-
saries and luXuries of life, and the
high prices are not felt by the man
with a fixed income. When a
man has money in his pocket
to buy what he needs he does not ask
the price, he buys it, When he has
no money, low price does not interest
him, because he can't buy it. Prosper
ity means harmony between prices
and wages. We have no such harmony,
therefore our present prosperity is
more apparent than real.
Incomes Are Chopped.
''The man with a fixed income from
wages or salary has been having his
income chopped ever since 1897 by the
increase in prices. Every man knows
whether his income has been increased
during the past three or four years.
If it has not been increased from 10
to 100 per cent, then he is losing money
compared to his condition in 1897 and
1898 and that in 1902.
Take, for instance, the thirty second
annual report of the Massachusetts
bureau of statistics of labor. That is
document compiled by good Republic
ans. 1t shows the purchase power of
a dollar for the years 1897 and 1902
on number of articles of daily neces-
sity in the domestic economy of the
average mans home. In 1902 a dollar
will buy less than in 1897, of the fol-
lowing articles by the following per-
centages:

RIVER BECOMES A
WIDE STREAM OF FIRE
Curious Sights on the Island of St.
Vincent Follow the Latest Erup-
ton of Soufriere.

KINGSTON, st. Vincent, Sept. s.
The sights in the Windward district of
this island resulting from the erup-
ton of the Soufriere volcano Sept. 3
are very interesting. The Rabacca
| river even now is a stream of fire a
quarter of a mile or more wide. The
greater part of the Rabacca estate is
| wrapped in vapor and there are mimic
eruptions everywhere. The river bed
is continuously throwing up columns
and dense clouds of steam, mud and
pebbles The land has spread farther
seaward and is changing considerably
the appearance of the district from
what it was prior to Sept 3. This was
probably caused by the ejecta that
flowed down the slopes filling the sea
about the coast. Fifty laborers, de-
ceived by the apparent quietude of the
volcano, were working within the fire
zone Wednesday, at the extreme north
of the island when they suddenly saw
evidence of an approaching disturb
ance of the mountain and were unable
to leave the spot before electric flashes
and an outpour of gases drove them to
their shelter, where they remained, at
the base of the mountain, throughout
the terrible night, while forked light
ming darted in all directions around
unhurt and arrived at Kingston yes
terday.
The port officer of Chateau Belair,
who saw the Soufriere from the sea
yesterday, made the following report:
"The mountain is considerably lower
than before Sept 8, and the appearance
of the summit has changed. A large
portion has evidently been blown
off and the hill has a much more jig
ged contour. The neighborhood is al
tered. New ridges, valleys and a
strange ravine have cut in the west
side of the volcano, down to. what was
formerly the Carib settlement of Har-
acai, where liquid matter was seen
flowing during the afternoon of Sept. 8.
The northwestern estate, Petit BOrdel-
10 and SharpeS, are covered with from
ten to twenty inches of gritty sub
stance. The crops of arrow root and
cocoa are ruined"
During the night of Sept. there was
terrific storm, accompanied by blind
ing lightning and terrible peals of
thunder, apd a moaning sound from
the agitattd crater.
CALCUTTA, Sept. S.-An earth
quake shock has been felt throughout
the province of Assam and the Chit
tagging district of Bengal. The inhab-
itants were panic stricken. Recurrences
of a like nature are predicted.

enees, France, Sept S.-A strong earth

REPUBLICANS DO THE
EXPECTED IN MAINE
Strongest Republican Towns on
Legislature.

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 8. = Maine
rolled up a big off year plurality for
the Republicans in the election today,
it approximating 27,000 in comparison
with 10000 for the average of other
years. Complete returns will be very
late owing to the romoteness of many
towns Figures from 240 cities and
Gould, Democrat, 24,587 The same
towns two years ago gave Hill, Re-
publican, 47,431; Lord, Democrat, 27,-
754.
The legislature, while as usual
strongly Republican, will have an un-
common number of Democratic MEM
bers, some of the strongest Republican
towns of the state electing representa-
tives of that party. The senate will
have one Democrat in thirty-one
members, D. M. Staples, Of Knox coun-
ty.
In the First congressional district,
Congressman Amos l.. Allen, Republic
an, was reelected over DR.. Seth G.
Gordon, of Portland, Democrat, and
Fred E. Irish, Socialist, with plurality
of about $500, as against a plurality
of 1000 two years ago. Mr.. Allen, who
succeeded Hon. Thomas B. Reed, for
whom he was secretary, ran behind his
ticket in York and Cumberland coun-
ties. Dr. Gordons personal popular
ity contributed to this result. An in
cident was the increase in the Socialist
vote, increasing from seventy two years
ago to 800 this year in Portland alone.
In the Fourth district the estimate
is that Congressman Llewellyn Powers,
Republican had been reelected by a
plurality of 1000 over Thomas White,
Democrat. In the Third district Con-
gressman E. c. Burleigh got the Pro-
hibitionist vote and ran slightly ahead
of his ticket in defeating E. II. Hem
son, Democrat.
In the Second district Congressman
c. A. Littlefield had no difficulty in de-
feating his Democratic opponent, rum
ming well ahead of his ticket.
The city and county contests nearly
all presented features, but the most
interesting was that in Cumberland
county, of which the late Rev. Samuel
Pearson was sheriff. The shrievalty
fight today was won by Pennell, DEM
ocrat by 1000 in Portland and nearly
1000 in the county.

Earnings Are Insufficient.

This report also contains a table
of the earnings of the head of a fam
lily and their relation to the family
expenditures. 1t comprehends the
earnings and expenditures of 152
heads of families. The average week.
ly wage of ia family heads is shown
to be $13.75. In the other thirty eight
cases the average weekly wage
amounts to $11.31, the total yearly
earnings of the head averaging for the
152 families 1894. In twenty-one in
stances the earnings of the head ex-
ceeded the amount expended. In four
instances the accounts balance and in
127 instances, about four -fifths of the
entire number, the earnings of the
head were insufficient to meet the
family expenditure.
Does this look like prosperity for
the Workingmen? 1t must be remem-
bered also that these figures were
compiled in 1901 and the report is
sued early this year. The prices on all
these necessaries of life are now much
higher than in 1901. Especially is this
both being manipulated by a trust. In
proof of this l submit the following
letter from miner in West Virginia:
'Fayette, Fayette County, West
Virginia, Aug. 10, 1902-Hon. J. M.
Griggs, Dear Sir: 1 take it that you
are interested IN trust prices, and
send you the prices that a laboring
man has to pay today for the neces-
saries of life, as compared with the
prices of 1898. 1 am coal miner

gether with other miners, for now
nearly three months, striking for an
increase of wages in keeping with the
prices we have to pay for the neces-
saries of life, and for recognition of
our Union, which seems to be the
only hope that labor (outside of vot-
