|DURAND SUCCEEDS DURAND|

After three hours conference Tues
day afternoon the Democratic state
central committee selected l.. Il. Du-
rand, OF Saginaw, as the candidate for
governor To succeed his brother, Judge
Durand. The result met with general
approval, especially among the other
candidates on the ticket and while "A
hard fight was made by Thos. f.. Bark
worth, of Jackson, and DIR. Weaver. OF
Charlotte. to prevent the selection OF
Durand, they both declared that they
would support him.
D. n canvass before the meeting started
made ii certain that Durand would re-
ceive 13 votes on the first ballot, and
decision would have been reached
much earlier but for the long speeches
made by those who were trying To
swing some other candidate into line.
The trouble was that they could not
nix OH anyone available, but they re-
hearSed the fight that was made aginst
Judge Dlrand In the convention. Thos.
IL. Barkworth was anxious TO have
anyone but Durand, though at the out
set he told the committee that he
would support him, The most striking
sentence that Barkworth used was:

COAL STRIKE UNSETTLED

neither affirm nor deny that such re-
quest has been made The Philadel-
phia Inquirer says: There is reason
10 believe that President Mitchell is
preparing To deliver master stroke
that is calculated To carry confusion
into the ranks Of the coal operators
and at the same time TO extend to the
public measurable relief from the
pangs of the fuel famine. This is re-
sumption OF work Oh the part OF the
striking miners at the independent col
llerles where the owners are willing to
accedc To the demands OF the United
Mine Workers.
independent opera tors. about 20 in
number, have notified Mitchell OF their
willingness to accede TO all the de-
mands made by the miners, including
increased wages and reduced hours,
and have asked the union to author
ize the miners 10 go back to work.
The independent operators will ask
tine United Mine Workers to provide
them with enough men to work col
liericS on a double shift 1t is thought
probable they could send TO market
more than 25,000 tons OF coal week"
The New England owners OF mines
leased and operated by the Philadel-
pha & Reading railway on royalty,
will begin suit for legal cancellation
OF their agreement with President
Baer and his associates unless the Ia
Dor troubles existing in the coal re-
gions are settled forthwith. They claim
that in the conference at Washington,
their interests were utterly disre gard
ed and they have notified President
Roosevelt to that effect.
The property referred to contains
about ZOO 900 tons Of coal and ac-
cording to the lease the Reading COM
pany is to pay them - cents a ton for
every ton mined.
The payment Of royalty has been
stopped.

A supervisor,s Story.

Lockport, n. Y. Oct. 6th.-Mr.
George =. Penfold Supervisor for the
first ward of the city OF Lockport,
has written the following letter for
publication to the newspapers:
1T gives me great pleasure TO rec
ommend Dodd's Kidney Pills as a
cure for Kidney Trouble
My kidneys troubled me more or
less for years ard treatment by local
physicians only gave me artiai and
temporary relief.
An old friend, knowing my trouble,
advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills
telling me a the same time how
much they had helped him.
IL used altogether six boxes and
found permanent cure.
This was two years ago and have
not since been troubled In any way
with pains in the back OF any OF the
many other distressing difficulties
arising from diseased kidneys"

Michigan Central Earnings.

Much has been made OF the fact
that the Michigan Central Railroad Co.
may bring suit against the state Of
Michigan to recover damages resulting
from the repeal Of its special charter
by the Legislature. and the necessity
Of having incorruptible state otli. ,iais
10 represent the state i'm that litlga-
ton.
Without evidence on which to base
the amount. IL has been declared that
the state would he sued for S2T .0O0,0O
The sworn statements of the company
officials as TO the earnings OF the road,
however, raise the question of whether
jury can be convinced that the
Michigan Central has sustained loss
by reason of the charter repeal. for il
is shown that during the first eight
months of this year. after the two
cent rate went into effect, the Michigan
earnings OH that road were $4,000 in
excess of those of the first eight
months of 1901.

MIR. Bryan's wealth.

William Jennings Bryan's beautiful
home is located about three miles from
Lincoln. Neb. His prosperous finan-
cial condition will interest his friends
throughout the country and doubtless
excite the envy of his political oppo-
ncnts everywhere.
