Dunkirk, Ind, Oct. "a

dent and to protect the domestic sugar
industry a bounty ranging from Ia cents

Few IIIiterate Children.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The Census
Office has issued statement giving COM
pflation of figures regarding illiteracy
among children Of immigrants and children
of natives. The statement says: Con-
fining the comparison TO children between
the ages of ten and fourteen years in the
United States as a whole. 95.6 per cent. OF
the native white children OF native Parents
and 991 per cent. OF the native white chill
dren of foreign-born parents are able to
read and write. This surprising difference
population is due largely 10 the fact that
the children OF the foreign-born immigrants
live mainly IN the Northern and Western
States. where the public school system
has already reached a high degree Of effi-
cheney. while great numbers OF native white
children of native parents live In the South
ern States and in that region about ~ per
cent OF such children are illterate.

Postmaster General Payne, close and
experienced political observer, thinks the
Republican party was never so strong be-
fore the people as ii is to-day. IF you
will look over the situation in various
States" he says. you will find invariably
that the weak spots have been caused In
each case by local faction fights or some
kind of dissension which does not affect
national issues. All the reports we have
received tend to show that the federal ad-
ministration under Republican control has
a stronger hold upon the people than for
many years previous" AS a national party
is organized mainly for national purposes
it should be satisfied when 1t is steadily
growing stronger on national issues. Local
factional fights are simply little eddies
that do not affect the main current

A few of the anthracite operators made
should sign an agreement not to interfere
in any way with the nonunion men. The
miners at these collieries refused to sign
such an agreement and declare their de-
termination TO continue on strike until 1t
is withdrawn. 1t was distinctly understood
by both parties when arbitration was ac-
cepted that nonunion men were not to be
interfered with. but IL showed lack of tact
on the part of the operators to exact such
an agreement in writing. Mr.. Mitchell
ought to lose no time in informing the late
strikers that they are under compact
and in honor bound not to interfere with
nonunion men pending the arbitration.

 Those present will not say what was done but representatives of the company are confident that Mitchell will be able to speedily settle the Alabama difficult ties.
 1t is understood Mitchell will send a message to the leader of the Alabama strike urging that it be called of. He was too busy with Pennsylvania matters to discuss this conference but said:
 We will do our utmost to serve the interests of the Alabama strikers. We appreciate what they have done for us and will reciprocate by ending their trou- bles If possible"
 General Tracy said:
 Seventy men refused to contribute H each to aid the anthracite strikers and as result 5000 men quit work From our conference with Mitchell I think the outlook is favorable for an early settle ment of the bituminous strike. In fact. I believe this week will see the men re- turn to work

BATTLE IN THE STREET
THREE KILLED, THREE WOUND
 ED IN ELDoRADo, ARK.
As Result of Family Feud, Seventy five Pistol Shots Were Fired at Close Range by Promi-
 nent Persons.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 9.-A special to The Gazette from Eldorado, Ark, says:
 Three men were killed, another will die and two others were wounded in a shooting affray on the streets here at 4:30 p. m. today.
 The dead-H. L. Dearing constable; Tom ParnelI. farmer; Walter Parnell, farmer
 The wounded-Guy B. Tucker, city mar sinai, shot six times and will die; pr. Hilton, wounds not serious; Jim Par nell not serious.
 The shooting is the sequel to the kill ing September IS, here, by Dearing of Robert Mullens, which followed a we'd ding. The Parnells were friends of Null lens and Thomas Newton was a friend of Dearing.
 This afternoon Jim Parnell and New" ton had some words. It is said that both factions prepared for trouble and 1t came when they met. It was at 4:3O that Dearing, Tucker and Newton were walk ing along in front of the Union Grocery Company on the East side of the square when they met the three Parnell broth CTS. Jim Parnell is said to have fired at Newton and in an instant the fusilade be- gan. About seventy-five shots were fired and the crack of revolvers sounded like a pitched battle, The men were close together and their aim was deadly. 1t developed into a man to man affair, Dearing and Tom Parnell emptying their secvral pistols at each other at distance so close that when they fell unable to shoot any more their bodies formed q cross.
 The others were firing promiscousiy and it is supposed that d shot from Marshal Fuckers pistol killed Walter Parnell, Dr. Hilton. who tried to separate the men, was also shot, but not fatally
 The shooting created much excitement
 This morning the electric hnemen threatened to go out on general strike in sympathy with the car men which would have greatly impaired the ligh-- ing of the city. Tonight they held a meeting and finding that public sentiment was against such strike, decided unani- mously not to strike.
 Governor Heard is determined to re- store order in the city before any ad vances are made locking to . settlement of the strike. He says the law must ba upheld if every military company in the state Is brought here to do it.

SHAW SPEAKS OF FREE TRADE.
Questioned by Auditor Concerning
 Coal Strike.


 New Haven. Conn. Oct. 9.-The Repub- lican State campaign was opened her to- night The principal speaker was Secre- tary of the Treasury Shaw. The Secre- tary said in part:
 Let me ask you what 1t Is that divides the great parties. Is 1t wealth? There are wealthy men on both sides. It IS principles and measures. There was \ time when the college taught free trade. If you know of any college that teaches free trade now. teach that college bet ter. If you intend to legislate for the entire world free trade is correct; but If you do not so intend, free trade Is not correct legislation. 1t seems to me that the Democratic leaders have shown great CT anxiety to discover an Issue by which to win successive campaigns than to for mulate policy upon which to run the government after they shall have won.
 MT. Shaw discussed trusts and trust legislation at length. In brief. he claim ed that the Republican convention or 1888 was the first to attempt to suggest a curb for combinations and trusts.
 "The only antitrust bill signed by a President of theUnited States was signed by a Republican President. Benjamin Harrison" said MT. Shaw. who said also that President Roosevelt. is now doing more than any other President to enforce the laws in effect against combintions. He said that if the State would enforce laws against trusts within their own limits the national government would not need to.
 Mir. Shaw was interrupted several times by an auditor who wanted to hear apout the coal strike and free coal"
 MT. Shaw replied to him that Presi- dent Roosevelt. that man who cares Tor you better than any one else can, IS doihs all he can to settle the trouble.
 Once again he was interrupted and paid the President a tribute of affection and esteem. reciting the fact that MT. Roose- welt is crippled and attempting to work for the solution of the difficulty at the risk of serious physical harm to himselI.
