MRS. P. T. SMITH.
Loving Tribute Paid to Her
Memory By Son.

Mrs. Mary Smith, wife Of P. T..
Smith, died at her home five miles
southwest of Dawson on Tuesday
morning. AT 1875 o'clock the angel OF
death came and stole our dear mother
and wife. She suffered three long
weeks with the typhoid dYsentery be-
fore her death. The interment was in
the cemetery at Chickasswhatchee
! church on the following afternoon, the
funral services being conducted by
Rev. w. W. Mabry of Richland.
We miss thee from our home dear
mother.
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow over our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face;
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
Farewell, dear mother, but not for
ever,
There will be glorious dawn;
Weshall meet thee to part no, never,
On the resurrection morn.
Tho thy darling form lies sleeping
In the cold and sileot tomb,
ThO9 shalt have glorious waking
When the blessed Lord doth come.
Safe in the hands of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love s'er shaded
Sweetly my soul shall rest;
Safe from corroding care,
Safe from the worlds temptations,
Sin cannot harm her there.
She has fallen asleep,
She is resting at last
The pulse has grown still
And the fever is past.
She suffers no logger in heart or
brain,
And the pain that 80 reached her shall
not come again,
She has fallen asleep,
o, mother has past,
Thank God as We weep,
She is resting at last
Her son, CARVER SMITH.

Tales of evictions from houses own
ed by G. 3. Markle, the narration OF
the death OF wife as the result Of an
enforced removal from her home, and
the story of mother whose husband
was killed in the Markle mines, OF
how she and her two boys struggled
years to pay the Markles the back
rent and coal bill she owed them,
we're the principal features of today g
session of the coal strike commission,
SAYS Scranton, Pa, press dispatch.
The testimony presented kby some
of the Witnesses whose lives are given
up to the coal mining industry was at
times pathetic and surprising to the
commissioners, who listened to it with
undivided attention.
After closing the Markle case the
representatives of the miners called
Witnesses who had formerly been ern-
plOVed in the mines of several com
panes to show that a black list exists
and that some of the companies had
broken the agreement which ended
the strike aud resulted in the appoiat-
ment of the arbitration committee.
1t is the intention of the lawyers for
the miners to take up the conditions
at the collieries of the Lehigh Valley
company and others in the Hazleton
region.
Henry McColl, MArkle miner, told
how his family, including mis- mother
ln'law, who was a hundred years old,
was set out on the road with their
household goods. He gave a graphic
description of how he was injured sew
eral times in the mines. The com
panY gave him nothing until after the
employees took up collection for him;
then he was given $50, after being on
Inc injured list for two years. The
company took out of the collection the
rent he owed.
In answswer to other questions, he
said he was one of the thirteen evicted
by the Markle company. Then follow
ed the most pathetic story yet told the
commission. The old miner, decreP-
II from many injuries, told under the
examination of how the eviction was
carried on. The wife was sick and
ner lOO-y ear-old mother was blind and
unable to walk. The day on whic h
'ney we're thrown out was rainy. He

The sanitary conference of Ameri-
can republics closed its sessions with
a declaration almost sensational in its
significance, says a Washington press
dispatch. DIR. Charles Warden Stiles
zoologist of the bureau of animal in
dustry of the agricultural department
and well known in the medical world
as the discoverer of uncinarias, or the
! hook worm disease, declared in an adj
dress to the conference that this d.
se&se was mainly responsible for The
condition of the poor whites OF the
sand districts of the south, have result
ed in the crusade against child labor
in the Southern cotton NALL.
DR.. Stiles address was listened to
with the closest attention, as he was
not only the discoverer of the disease,
but of the parasite which causes it.
The disease itself has only been known
to medical science since last May. DR..
Stiles has just returned from an extern
sive tour of the southern states, made
with the purpose of finding a remedy
for the malsdy and to acquire a
knowledge of it in all its phases.
He explained that uncinarias pro-
duces condition of which the syDlp-
toms are greatly like those of con-
tinued malaria, for which it is almost
invariably mistaken. The presence of
this disease in the south in past years,
he said, had resulted in the pitia ole
conditions of the poor whites in many
of the southern states. It's presence
In succeeding generations had result
ed in their inferior physical develop
ment and mental powers, and is the
cause of the proverbial laziness OF the
"cracker." This laziness, DR.. Stiles
says, is an abnormal and not nor
NAL condition, and attention paid to
this matter by planters and farmers
in the southern states would result in
not only improved conditions general
ly. but great increase of the percen-
tage OF work which they would secure
from their employees.
The crusade against child labor in
the south, DR.. Stiles declared, was
due indirectly to the general pre-
senceo of this disease, and he made the
remarkable statement that children
who came from the country districts
to work in the mills became generally
greatly improved as a result OF the
better sanitary conditions in the cities
and the better facilities for the cure
OF the disease.
AS regards the age of children in
the mills, DR.. Stiles said that reform
ers who went through the cotton fac.
tories and other places in the sou tn
ern states where such labor was EN-.
ployed were generally deceived re-
garding the ages of these minor en-
ployes, one of the characteristics of
the disease being that stunted not only
the mental development, but the ply
steal growth as we'll, and made men
and women of 20 to So years of age seem
oaly about IA to 16.

at FARGO.

FARGO, N. D.,cAug., 27.-Harold c.
Sweet, the young man from White
Earth, Mimi, who was shot here yes
terday by a highwayman, is dead. John
Rooney, the individual of the trio of
robbers with whom Sweet fought, has

ing murder will now be filed against

Rooney is said to be from Chicago.
There is, some doubt whether the shot
was fired by him or one of his pals,
who ran, up behind Sweet, who was
struggling with Rooney.
Rooney showed some evidence of
breaking down when informed of the
death of Sweet, but stoutly asserts
that the fatal bullet was not fired by
him and cities the fact that he was
struggling with Sweet, who was shot
behind. Rooney says i. his two pals
recently broke Jail at + Breckenridge
and he met them at Christine, coming

Denia! Of Various Allegations Made in
the Bill of Complaint.
TRENTON, N. J., Aug. 27-The
United States Steel corporation today
filed in the court of chancery an an
swer to the amended bill of COM
plant of j. Aspinwan Hodge, Bernard
Smith and William H. Curtiss to re-
strain the proposed conversion of
$20O,00O,00O per cent preferred stock
into $200,000,000 5 per cent second
mortgage bonds. The answer denies
that the books of the corporation show
Curtiss to be the owner of any stock
of the concern. Smith, it is averred,
did not own any stock of record until
June "a, 1902, after the plan of CONVEX
sion had been adopted and that the
stock now recorded in Smiths name
was voted in favor of the PLAN Hodge,
1t is admitted, owns 100 shares of
stock, but it is alleged that he was
not present at the stockholders meet
ing when the plan was submitted and
that his stock was not voted either by
himself or by proxy. It is denied that
fifteen or more of the directors of the
steel corporation are members Of the
syndicate through which the preferred
stock was to be converted into bonds.
1t is admitted that some of the direc-
tors are members of the syndicate. but
that this fact was communicated to
every stockholder in the circular of
April II, 1902.
The answer says that the directors
in the syndicate are in minority in the
board of directors, but that they are
large stockholders and favored the
conversion plan; because they believed
it would be advantageous to them as
stockholders. 1t is denied that any
stockholders had been offered special
terms in connection with converting
their preferred stock into bonds in or
der to secure their affirmative votes
for the plan.

he desired to be unfncumbered and. I'M
embarrassed in the administration of the
office for the remainder of the year.
The other reason is that he had pledged

National Association Discusses Inspee-
tors and Clerk Suspensions.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Aug. 27.-The
National Association of Postmasters
today discussed local inspectors for
large offices and suspension of. clerks.
The trend of discussion on the first
topic was that there were not enough
postoffice inspectors to make examine
ton of the large offices. A letter was
received from Chief Inspector Cochran,
in which he stated the department was
doing it's best, and that in the near
future provisions would be made for
200 inspectors where but seventeen
were now employed.
On the question of the suspension
of clerks who would not pay their
debts, a letter was read from J. E..
Shidler, assistant postmaster at In
dianapolis, who advocated fining in
stead of suspension where clerks were
exceptionally efficient. The suggestion
met the approval of the delegates.
A. w. Machen, general superintend-
ent of free delivery, favored measure
whereby rural mail carriers could pay
out money on money orders on their
routes. The object Of the convention is
to exchange ideas and make recon-
mendations for Improvement in the

CoNSPIRED TO DEFRAUD. STATE.
Trio of Michigan Offenders Fined at
LANSING,

LANSING, Mich, Aug. 27.-J. Hun
ter Woodwork, H. p. Kauffer and H.
D. Bickerstaff, of the Henderson Ames
company, Of Kalamazoo, appeared in
the circuit court today and pleaded
guilty to the charge of conspiracy to
defraud the state by their connection
with the state military clothing frauds.
The charge against them was changed
from perjury in connection with their
testimony before the grand jury that
investigated the frauds to conspiracy
to defraud the state. Messrs. Hunter,
Woodwork and Kauffer were each fin
ed $4,000, and Bickerstaff was fined
$1,000, with the alternative in each
case Of two years Imprisonment If the
fines are not paid by o'clock tomor-
row.
In passing sentence Judge West said
the defendants were contemplate in
the eyes of the court, and that the
court was induced to impose fines, not
from pity, but from the fact that for
a century courts have recognized the
fact that accomplices used by the state
in the aid Of justice were entitled to
consideration.
