AFTER FOUR
LONG YEARS
N. J. HuSsey Near to Death
Hears From His Mother.
is WARD OF THE COUNTY
Story of a Man With Wonder
full Perseverance.

Within not many days Of the end Of his
rfes journey. J. N. Hussey lay in the
ST Francis hospital of this city. The
doctors have said that he cannot live,
and that nothing can be done but wait
til. the dread disease. tuberculosis, has
worn his life away. He has been a ward
OF sedgwick county's for many months,
but Poor Commissioner Daniels says that
it is plain 10 see that he has had every
blessing of prosperity bestowed on him in
his youth. He is forty years old. and for
the last four years OF these forty, -Hussey
has been in the west trying to repair a
broken fortune. He lost instead OF win
ring. and at last, with sickness upon him
and alone, he applied to the poor COM
missioner.
1t was this man yesterday morning who
lay on his bed in despair, as he watched
the postman go by. Thus he had watch
ed for four years for the postman. but
never before did ne seem so desperate as
when a sister in the afternoon brought
him a letter. Never was there a happier
man than this. 1t was not from sweet
teart, but from his mother. She lives at
Willetville, Highland county, Ohio Ever
filled with hope and a longing TO hear
from her. Hussey continued to write dur
ing these four years TO mis- dear old
mother even after it seemed useless to do
SO AT last he has been rewarded by
Providence for his perseverance. He de-
clared TO Poor Commissioner Daniels that
he believed that his brother-in-law had
conspired against him and had inter-
copied his letters 10 his mother.
He is single man and a word from
Ter, the one woman of all those that he
had ever met whom he loved. seemed to be
all that he required TO give up life with
cut a struggle. The story reads like a ro-
nance and is indeed a real picture Of that
side of life so often portrayed by the
artist

of Interest to Advertisers.

Messrs. Nelson Chesman & Co. Adver-
Using Agents, St Louis, Mo. Chicago.
Ills. and Pittsburg. Pa. have just issued
their Newspaper Rate Book for the cur
rent year. 1t contains complete list of
the newspapers and periodicals through
out the United States and Canada with
circulation of 5000 copies and over. It
gives detailed advertising rates of each,
character of the publication length and
width of advertising columns and in fact
every feature pertaining to the pHbica-
ton which is likely to prove of interest
TO an advertiser.
1t represents very heavy expenditure
on the part of the publishers. who have
had for months corps of trained experts
collecting this information and compiling
it in a manner TO make it thoroughly in
tellisible to all advertisers. II is brought
out at timely season. as very many adj
vertisers select the fall Of the year as the
most suitable time for making their an
nual advertising appropriations. The
work will unquestionably prove a desir-
able addition to the library of any adver-
tiser-large or small-who is not already
thoroughly conversant with the value of
different publications and all such should
avail themselves of the opportunity to
secure Q. copy.

convention was called by President Mitch
ell, under the rules of the union, to vote
on the plan which he laid before it and
later explained fully in a lengthy address.
Previous to the assembling of the con-
vention there were busy scenes at strike
headquarters in the Hart hotel. Before
o'clock the miner delegates began to
gather there. Mr.. Mitchell was the center
Of interest and until he left for the con-
vention hall was always surrounded by his
lieutenants and others.
Delegates In Good Humor.
The delegates were in the best of humor
as they loitered about the hotel lobby
The feeling Of the men was evidenced
IN brief conversation overheard when
delegates from distant points met Said
one:
well, what do you think Of the situa-
ton now?''
'Oh we are here to finish it, and I guess
we will"
Every delegate whose opinion was
sought felt that tine convention would do
whatever their national leader advised.
There was general cheerfuness in
the faces of the men which was reflected
in the demeanor of the citizens of this
prosperous city.
Among the late arrivals at the conven-
ton hall was National Secretary Treasur-
er w. B. Wilson, selected to be the Sec
rotary OF the convention with the secre-
taries of the shree districts as his as
sistants. He was Of the opinion that the
convention would end tomorrow and that
the men would return to work on Thurs
day.

He said the outlook for acceptance YVES

AS is customary in conventions of the
minew orkers, the district secretaries acted
as the committee on credentials. These
secretaries. had already completed their
work and when called upon by Chairman
Nichols, after the convention call had
been read, their reports were made. John
4. Dempsey Of district No. 1 read his
report first.
He was followed by Secretaries John Cal
lagher and George Martlain. The reports
showed a total Of 636 delegates. The to-
tai will probably be increased after all
the credentials are received.
While these reports were being pre-
sented, a report was received that Presi-
