Oyster Bay L. l.. Sept. e.-President

with ample authority to afford such pro-

fact coupled with the assurance of the

people in Turkey are quite safe. has
tended to relieve the minds of President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hay from appre-
hension of serious consequences. The

Workers of America passed through

Gehr said:
mo. do not know when the strike
will be declared. Things are beginning
to assume a decided warlike hue l am
free to admit. We hope to reach an
agreement without resorting to drastic
measures. but at this time 1t looks de-
cidedly serious. Representatives from
our organization and the operators will
meet in Denver Thursday for the pur-
pose of discussing the situation in its
every phase. All the men want is the
eight hour work day. the bimonthly pay
day and a fair system of weights.
We are prepared for a long struggle
and everything necessary to the success
Of the strike has practically been ar
ranged. This is going to be long and
bitter fight, and neither will back down
until one or the other has won beyond
the shadow of a doubt"
1t is estimated that if a strike is called
fully 10000 coal miners will go out.

INDIAN FIGHTER DEAD.
A Minnesota Pioneer Succumbs to a
Long Illness.

st. Paul, Sept. 9.-Judge Charles Z.
F'landrau. prominent pioneer citizen
of Minnesota and candidate on the
Democratic ticket for governor in 1867,
died today after a long illness, aged 50
years. Having been appointed agent
for the Sioux Indians of the Mississippi
by President Pierce he gave constant
aid to hundreds of homeless refugees
fleeing from the Indians tomahawks.
He was a member of the first constitu-
tional convention and later became as
sociate justice of the supreme court.
When the Sioux broke out into a
fierce rebellion near New Ulm, in 1862,
Judge F'landrau organized a company,

after a fierce fight lasting forty hours,
saved New IJln from devastation and

COLOR LINE DRAWN.
Negro Is Refused Entertainment at a
London Tavarn.

New York, Sept. 9-London has begun
to draw the color line. says a Herald
dispatch from that city. Complaint has
just been made to the magistrate at the
Marlborough street police court by q
negro of gentlemanly appearance who
said that he and some friends had beer
refused refreshments by publican SIM
ply because of their color. The applf-
cant wished to know whether he and his
friends, who were from different parts
of the British dominions, were to be
treated little better than wild beasts.
The magistrate said: II sympathize
with you and think the publican's re-
fusal a very foolish and unlxind act, but
i cannot alter the law as 1t stands"
The magistrate then entered into a long
explanation, the gist of which was that
while publican was bound to supply
any one with food or refreshments as a
traveller, there was nothing in the Law
to compel any one to sell anything to
, anybody.
The negro thanked the magistrate for
this precise information and withdrew.

HOW 1T WAS DONE.
Mystery of a Series of Robberies Is
Explained.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-The mystery of half
dozen robberies in the houses of
wealthy residents of Hyde Park and
other parts of the city has been solved
apparently, and plumber amounting to
$25, 900 may be recovered.
Henry Moe, a jeweler, and Charles F.
Stout, railroad ticket broker, have
been arrested and charged with receiv-
ing the stolen property.
The man charged with committing all
the robberies is Samuel Smith. a negro.
He was arrested and confessed that, at
tired as an electrician or janitor, he had
gained admittance to the houses of fam
lilies in their absence ana robbed their
places at his leisure.

In Advance of the Age.

The increased comfort and safety with
which women travellers can journey
these days is characteristic of the age.
This is largely due, too. to the greater
attention paid the subject by the big
transportation companies. This added
to the attention and courtesy on the
part of employees makes journeying
alone for women or children a treat in
stead of a burden
The New York Central shows itself to
be in the front rank in this matter as in
so many others where the comfort of its
travellers is concerned. The Central for
instance advertises that it's employees
will meet you at the pier on your ar
rival in port That this means much
to some people can be seen from the fol-
lowing letter to George H. Daniels from
very prominent business man OF Min
neapolis. The letter states, Il have just
received from my wife a letter advising
me of the most efficient manner in
which your office has taken care of her
on her trip over your road and on her
arrival in New York city.
: Il wish to thank you for the great as
sistance you have been to Mrs. ----
which has greatly facilitated her trip
and taken all worry and annoyance off
her shoulders It goes without saving
she will come west over your road and 1
shall also take pleasure in travelling
over your road when I go east 10 re-
ceive her"
The Central makes point Of meeting
steamship passengers, arranging for
the transfer of their babbage and seeing
that they are introduced to the pursers
and stewards and in every way making

JUDGE COLLINS A .B-4RKIS.

The expected has happened. Judge
Collins has announced himself as q
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor. The judge has
been candidate several times before.
The Sixth district is large, thickly
populated and intelligent district, but
it's claims to both the governorship
and United States senator will not
meet with general approval. We are
in position to say that Judge Collins
will not be nominated by reclamation.
If the Judge gets any delegates out
side of Stearns county he will have to
fight and hustle as never before. Hun
dreds of letters received at the ION
Office from all parts of the State, and
assurances of support from a large
majority of the country newspapers
give us general grounds for this belief.
A candidate for governor who has
any regard for his oath of office will
stand for the fearless and impartial
enforcement of law and will show no
favoritism to corporations or indi-
vlduals. r. c.. Dunn.

JOHNSON'S RULING.

Mr.. Samuel Thomas Johnson is not
above the law. There is no law
authorizing any such procedure.
County officers should be governed by
the law and not by Mr.. Johnson IS
asinine and arbitrary rulings. Why
should an individual who has a claim
against the county be obliged to make
two trips to the county seat before his
claim can be allowed? The ruling is
absurd. If fraudulent claim is al
lowed the county attorney can appeal
the same. That official has plenty of
time to examine all claims after they
have been allowed and before war
rants can be issued. Mr.. johnson is
one of those self-important individuals
who imagines his dictum takes prece-
dence of the statutes.

COZ. YIN SINT'S HOME PAPER.

Here is an editorial extract from
the columns of the Winona Republi-
can-Herald, by all odds the ablest and
most influential paper published in
southern Minnesota:
1t is estimated by some of our
contemporaries at the State cap
ital that the governor chief
object in speaking as he did yesterday
was to head off the possible candi-
dacy of Ex-AuditorR. c.. Dunn, who
has been charged in certain quarters
with being a sympathizer with the
merger coterie: We should hope there
that is no ground for this supposition.
Gov. Van SAINT, even if he could afford
to do SO personally, would make a
great mistake in pursuing course
which might lead to serious party dis
sension. We think he has been mis-
represented. At any rate, he is likely
to avoid a repetition of the mistake
which brought about so much unne-
cessary bitterness in the speakership
contest of last winter.
AS to Mr.. Dunn, we have no know
ledge of his intentions looking toward
the governorship. But we do know
tina the is thoroughly honest,s capa-
BILE, and fearless man, who, in any
capacity that he might be placed,
would defend the peoples interests
at any sacrifice to himself. There
is neither necessity for nor justice in
the effort being made in certain quar-
tiers to raise public suspicion as to his
attitude on the merger or any other
public question.
