WILL NOT Be INTlMIDATED

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 8.-National
President Mitchell of the miners UNI
ion, and the three anthracite presi-
dents returned to this city from Buff
falo this morning. The chief Of the
miners had nothing to say regarding
yesterdays trip, and also declined to
discuss President Roosevelt's propo-
sition fer ending the strike. The fol-
lowing official statement was issued
from strike headquarters at / o'clock
today:
"At 1890 noon SO kilograms had
been received from as many mass
meetings in as as many sections Of the
a%ntracite coal region conveying the
information that by unanimous vote
of the lei on strike, all of whom at
tended such meetings, it was resolv-
ed that the presence Of the entire
United States army in the anthracite
coal regions would not induce the
men to return to work until the de-
mands of the Shamokin convention
had been conceded, the strike declar-
ed off by a delegate convention of
mine workers, or by the district and
national officers. Thus far the returns
emphasize and substantiate the decla-
rations of the officials of the miners
union, made at the Washington con-
ference, that the strikers are not de-
tered from going to work through
fear of bodily harm. At z O'Clock to-
night all kilograms will be submitted
to the representatives of the press for
their examination"
Mitchell Has Made Reply.
President Mitchell has written his
answer to President Roosevelt, but
<he declines to state the nature of it.
The letter was dictated before DON
and is now in the mails on it's way to
Washington. Mr.. Mitchell will not
give out the text Of the letter because
it would be discourteous to the presi-
dent, and whatever the communica-
ton contains must come from WASH
ington. In view Of the statement pub
lished by President Mitchell today, it
is hardly likely that the proposition
of the president for the men to go
to work and have the condition in the
coal regions investigated a%fterward,
was accepted.

The Love Feast.

from Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
The delegates and visitors were en-
tertained in a delightful manner at
the Billings brewery last evening.
The function was called a 'love feast"
and was rendered by the manager of
the brewery, Phil Grein. It's title
proved to be no misnomer. The i'm
mense bottling department had been
fitted up iii the form of a banquet
hall and a lunch fit for the gods adorn-
ed a table that ran the full length of

ply Of Billings Best" for those who
desired to indulge in that popular
beverage, and there was also a liberal
variety of soft drinks for the more
ascetic of the delegates. But the
superlatively ascetic gentleman was

able man for a dirty job he was order
ed to do it.
Associate Justice Milburn was call
ed on by the president to say some
thing and responded with a neat
speech. On the subject of discipline
he advocated prompt obedience to
orders. "a man cannot be a good
citizen unless he obeys lawfully con-
stituted authority" said the Judge.
A paper was read by Mr.. Mallory
prepared by the Red Lodge fire de-
partment on the topic which had been
assigned them, "The Storage and Care
of Explosives" The paper advocated
the minimum in quantity and that it's
location should be well known by
the firemen.
An interesting discussion in which
Chiefs Bebb of Lewistown, Day OF
Helena, Bond of Billings, Lapp of the
Anaconda mines, Nelson Of Living
ston and Assistant Chief Shinnick of
Butte in~telligently. participated, en-
sued. It seemed to be the ser
of opinion that the state law on the
subject was defective, and that it
should be amended to absolutely pro-
hibit the storage of dynamite and
giant powder in towns. Chief Day
said that the law might as we'll allow
the storage in town of 1000 pounds
as 100 pounds Of dynamite as at pres
ent. The city of Helena has al ordi-
lance prohibiting the storage of any
dynamite whatever.
An adjournment was taken to Z

h Banquet.

~ gentleman who is noted as an
otter dinner speaker said this morn
ing, Il have attended many banquets
in Billings and other cities but l never
sat down to a more elaborate spread
than that which graced the tables at
Gruwell hall last night"
The banquet, given in honor Of the
delegates and visiting firemen, includ-
ed as guests many prominent people
of the city and state. The tables
were set in form of an elongated
horse shoe, with a buffet in the center.
The time worn expression, 'the tables
fairly groaned under their weight of
good things" is entirely and peculiar
ly applicable in this case, for the
board bore one of the most magnifi-
cent spreads that the mind Of a dis
tinguished chef could conjure. The
buffet was adorned with a roasted calf
done to a turn and fianked on all
sides with an abundant supply of
Mumm's Extra Dry, Billings Best and
other refreshments of an in~vigorating
character.
The Hon. George NJ. Hays, who new
er misses an occasion Of the kind in
his old home town, acted as toast
master. Mr.. Hays long experience
as presiding officer at a feast is well
known, and it is doubtful if there is
a man in the state who can fill the
position with greater ability and
felicity than he.
After the POSTMASTER raped for
order Mayor George delivered an adj
dress of welcome to the assembled
guests, which was full of Expressions
of generous hospitality and good
will toward the sister towns of the
state and their representatives as
sembled in the banquet hall.

NIGHTS Session.

At the evening session the topic,
rs it beneficial for the department
to have a relief fund and why?" came
up, and was ably treated in a paper
prepared by the Hamilton fire de-
partment. The matter was interest
ingly discussed, all seeming to favor
the affirmative.
Chief Bond announced that the fund
in the Billings department amounted
to over $1,000, and that every disabled
fireman could be amply cared for.
Another topic assigned to the same
department al that of Advantages
of Thorough Organization"
The subject vas amplified by a thor
ough and interesting discussion, and
the convention adjourned about s p.
m. to take part in the banquet.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
member of the Mavericks, is visiting
his old comrades and taking in the
convention.
Fred Soule OF Butte, an old-time
fireman of Billings and charter men,
Der OF the Mavericks. is one of the
visitors.
Many of the citizens and business
men needed the request of the Nav
ericks to decorate in honor of the
convention.
The badges provided for the occa-
sion are very handsome. the delegates
wearing blue, the active members
white and the honorary members red.
The printing is in gold and the top
bar is ornamented with the figure of
a genuine Maverick.
President Bond very unexpectedly
had a nice toilet set returned to him
during the banquet last. evening.
When he went to Missoula a year
ago he equipped himself with the
necessary toilet articles to make a
%presentable appearance before his
brother firemen and the ladies of@Mis-
soula, incidentally, and the toilet set
was stolen from his room. Last ev-
ening Chief Lapp Of Butte, asked per-
mission to make a few remarks under
the head of special privilege, and at
ter a lengthy narration of how the
set came into the possession of the
fire boys Of Missoula, and their eff
forts to locate the rightful owner he
presented Captain Bond with his long
lost toilet kit. The captain was very
glad to get it back again but intimat-
ed in his remarks that he knew
where the set was all the time and
never expected to see it again.
J. B. Herford's address on absent
Members" last evening, was founded
chiefly on a letter of regret received
from the Anaconda chief, who wrote
that he was unable to attend on &C.
count of an attack Of rheumatism.
Mr.. HEREFORD had obtained an inter-
view from every chief present, at
least he read one, giving his opinion
CT the true cause of the chiefs alb
scence and recommending remedies
fer his particular brand of rheuma-
tism. If the absent gentleman could
have heard the theories that were adj
vanced he would no doubt go cunning
for some of his brother fire fighters.
The Livingston band gave a fine
street concert after the adjournment
yesterday afternoon. Their selections
in the main were classical and we'll
rendered. The concert lasted more
than an hour and the band was hearth
ly applauded after each number by
hundreds of citizens and visitors who
composed their audience.
The fire department was called out
in response to two alarms last night.
The first was sent in about 2 l..
m. and the fire located in a crib in the
redlight district. The place vas un-
Inhabited and how the fire started
was a mystery. The interior of the
house was quite badly damaged. The
alarm was caused by the burn
ing of a pile Of rubbish in the rear
of the house where the first fire was
located and no damage resulted, ex-
cept the fines that the absent mem
bers will have to pay for not respand-
ing to the call.

sponded to the toast, "Good Fellow
ship" in his usual eloquent and i'm
pressive style, his remarks showing
that his heart contained a warm place
for the boys who do battle with the
fire fiend for the safety Of neigh
bors' lives and property.
THE Needs of the Fire Department"
was ably and comprehensively re-
sponded to by Fred Fl. Foster of Bill
ings, after which in a neat speech by
Mayor George, President Bond of the
State association was presented with
a past presidents badges.
The badge is wrought from pure
gold with beautiful filagree work and
is a gem in itself.
President Bond received the hand
some token Of his faithful service in
the highest office in the gift of the
iremen of the state with much feeling.
"The Relations of the City Council
to the Fire Department." was intel
ligently responded to by Alderman
Henry White, whose experience as a
member of the city council and
study of the economics of city govern
ment well fitted him for the duty.
absent Members furnished ]. B.
HEREFORD a foundation for one of the
wittiest speeches Of the evening.
'.Jobs" was the subject of a brief
address by Chief Lapp of Anaconda.
Chief Alexander of Bozeman deliver
ed II of the most interesting ad-
dresses of the evening on "A Quarter
Of a Century in the Fire Service fol-
lowing which impromptu addresses
were made by Chief Sam French of
Great Falls, Alderman deCarle OF
Miles City, Alderman Mix of Missoula,
Assistant Chief Shinnick of Butte,
Chief Day of Helena, Delegate VOL
colt of Livingston and others.
In the course of the evening some
elegant vocal music was rendered
by the SOKM quarette, whose mem
bership was fortified in several num-
bers by Lee Mains, the Hon George
M. Hays, George Robbins and Charles
f. Burton.
1t was an occasion long to be re-
membered by the firemen of the state,
including the members of the home de-
partment, and if anything was lacking
prior to last night to convince the
visitors that Billings is a city Of
unbounded hospitality and that her
fire company was composed of the
princes Of good fellowship, the ban
quet removed all doubts On that sub
ject.

This mornings session of the con,
vention opened with a paper read by
Chief Bebb of Lewistown on 'sFire
Companies Versus Fire Insurance
Companies"
It strongly advocated the enforce
ment of the statutes of Montana which
provide that the money derived from
tax on the profits Of insurance com
panies be set apart as a fund for the
relief of firemen disabled in the line
Of duty.
On motion w. J. Bennett of Billings,
who was a foreman of the old Hell
ena fire department in the palmy
days of Last Chance Gulch," was
made an honorary member of the as
ISOLATION.
"The Care of Fire Hose" was eluci-
dated by the Bozeman department in
a paper read by Gerald Lansing.
Chief Lapp advocated using a brush
instead of washing hose, but Chief
Bond said that with the alkali mud
here it was necessary to wash and
scrub the hose.
Chief Day and Chief French also
took a leading part in the discussion,
as did also Chief Bebb, Mr.. deCarle
and Mr.. Mallory.
This ended the mornings session
and an adjournment was taken for
dinner and to enable the delegates to
prepare for the parade, which was
scheduled for 2 o'clock.

If YOU are a dyspepdc with tender

brush twice a day, and just before
stepping into bed rub with your fore
finger n little dry bicarbonate Of soda
about the root of the gums. Some folks
use a solution of carbolic and soda as

good, and / always advise, instead OF
the employment of dental silk, mar
row rubber band, such as you buy Tor
desk use. The rubber run between the
teeth will catch any deposit and won't
cut the gums as thread often does.
