INVESTIGATING SHOOTING

General Manager S. B. Thorne of the
Temple Iron and Coal company spent
the greater part of yesterday at the
Edgerton colliery, where he investigat
ed the shooting. of the two employees,
Connolly and Crossman, which took
place Monday night. A number of de-
tectives are at work on the case, but
no definite results have yet rewarded
their efforts.
On his return from the Edgerton.
MI. Thorne stated that the detectives
on the case are working on a number
or clues yesterday discovered, but as
yet nothing sufficiently tangible had
been discovered which would justify
and arrests. The theory of accidental
SHOOTING by deputies is entirely secuted,
the nature of the shot which was used.
alone doing away with any possibility
that it was the guards who fired. An
examination was yesterday made at the
Scranton Private hospital of Connolly's
right eye and it was found that he
must lose the sight of it.
EXPECTED TO-DAY.
President John Mitchell is expected
back from Indianapolis today, and in
event of his arrival at Wilkes Barre,
1t Is more than likely that he will run
up to Scranton to consult with the
local officials.
Operations are now in full swing at
the Maltby colliery of the Lehigh Val
ley coal company, and yesterday a
large quantity of coal was prepared
for the market at the Maltby breaker.
The Delaware. Lackawanna and
western company yesterday resumed
work at the Hampton colliery, which is
IN Lackawanna township just across
the city line. One hundred and twenty
nve men, all of them old hands, report
ed Tor duty, and worked without in
reference throughout the day.

GOD GIVE US MEN,"

The Fifty-seventh congress has been
long enough In session to reveal its
tendencies and to outline Its record.
Looking at the situation as it is in
Washington today, thoughtful Amer.
cans can see the house attempting to
discriminate against our Filipino wards
as we never disseminated against them
when they were utterly foreign to US.
They sac Cuba, whose bonds to Spain
we dissolved, menaced with complete
commercial separation from US, and
with commercial isolation which ey-
en- the Madrid government did not i'm
pose upon her. They see the aspiration
OF the American people for an isthmian
canal that will at the same time facili
tate their commerce and strengthen
their national defense, juggled, palter-
ed with, and tossed about as if it were
a merest trif1e of the day.
And all this they have seen done at
the behest Of three or four special in
terests whose part in the nation is but
tiny fraction of the whole.

chiefly to take the peoples money and

HELEN KELLER'S FIRST EARNINGS
She Wanted Money to Buy an Island
for q Summer Home and She
Earned 1t.

There is pretty story in connection
with the series of articles which Helen
Keller, the wonderful blind girl, has
written for The Ladies' Home Journal,
telling about her own life from infancy
to the present day. She always has
shrunk from the publicity which fol-
lows successful literary work, and it
was with great difficulty that she was
persuaded to take up the task Of pre-
parlDg her autobiography. She had.
however, set her heart on owning an is
land In Halifax hartor for a summer
home, and in spirit of fun the editor
of the Journal offered to buy it for her,
or to provide the means to buy it.
When the work of writing appeared es-
pecially irksOme Miss Keller was re-
minded of her desire to become land
holder, and it spurred her on. Just be-
fore Christmas she completed the first
chapter of her marvellous story; and on
Christmas morning she received from
her publishers check for good round
sum. Her delight may be imagined,
for this was the first money of any &C.
count which she had ever earned 1T
is fairy tale come true" she said.
Whether she will really carry out her
plan to buy the island remains to be

ABOUT CANDIDATES.

The Kiowa Review has launched
booms for Hon. L. 2. Wilson, of Kio.
wa, for congressman OF the Big Sew
enth, and DR.. L. w. Stout for county
attorney. The Review says:
While the democrats Of the Big Sey.
enth congressional district are looking
around for man who can beat Hon.
Chester [. Long for congress, it might
be we'll for them to turn their eyes 10
Kiowa and settle on Il. +. Wilson. If
he is nominated no one for one minute
will hesitate in saying he would sweep
the district beyond possibility of a
doubt. Besides being life long demo.
crat, Mr.. Wilson has wide acqualnt-
ance In the west and every man who
knows him is his friend. He is well
qualified to represent the district and
while he is no schoOlhouse orator he is
tireless worker and would do more
for the Big Seventh than others who
pride themselves on being 80 smooth
with their tongue. Barber county only
has one candidate for this office and
the people have settled on Hon. T. z.
Wilson to make the race against Hon.
Chester l. Long.
In mentioning the prospective candi-
dates on the republican ticket last
week, we omitted the name of Polly
Tincher for county attorney. It MAKES
very little difference, however, as DR..
Stout Will bs nominated on the indie
pendent ticket and of course be will be
elected. We hate to sacrifice Polly as
he Is a good fellow, but so long as he
will bunch up with the ex tixers he can
expect nothing but a sweeping defeat
for his folly.
