Fact as to Powers of Registration
Omcials Not Generally Known.
It may not be generally known, but 1t
is fact, that the registrars, or registra-
ton boards in any ward or magisterial
district OF the State. after sitting four
teen days, divided among the precincts
Of such ward or district, may thereafter
sit one day at any place in the district
or ward they may designate for the reg
istration of voters in any precinct of such
ward or district. When the books are
opened for the whole district or ward.
like notice shall be posted In Ave or more
public places in each precinct for which
such registration is held.
Furthermore, the registration ordinance
provides that the Judge Of q County
Court Of a county, or OF the Corporation
Court OF a city. may. on the motion OF
such registrations for further period OF
shall fix the day for such registratio
q There is this hope left. therefore. for
those who have failed to register in any
ward or district in which the registration
has been held for the fifteen days limit.
Thus It may be seen there is still hope
for those who have failed to register. II
they will call upon their county or corr
pora ton Judge to extend the time.
Many local Democrats are interesting
themselves In securing the registration
of the voters or their wards. Among
those are Captain Cunningham Hall, for
years member Of the City Democratic

Inent:
Il do not think it necessary to repeat
that all talk of concessions on the part
of the operators is foolish, and certainly
without foundation. Our position now Is
the same as when Mitchell made his orig
inal propositions, and not different from
that when the strike began.
NO CONCESSIONS.
I'VE said that we would make no con-
ccssions. and we repeat it new There is
no reason why this should not be under

they mean it, and / repeat it only by way
of emphasis There is only one way 10

Conditions are improving daily, more men
are returning to work, and more coal is

so far as recent attempts at settlement
are concerned it is only necessary to add
that every effort. from Senator Hanna's

our position. and will maintain it

into Wright's head and shooting out mis-
brains The Wright-Templeton gang
threatened tottake the life of Moss. He
rode several miles to retaliate by shooting
into their lifeless bodies after they had
