ed is state politician Of New York
They cay that the announcement
of this name will cause a sensation.
The announcement will not, how
ever, be sensation if the person is
the one limited at by the officials.
The government will, of course,
magnify his Importance.
The government will be up a.
gainst the hard proposition sooner
or later that the subordinates did
not see the heads of firms and COR
porations which made contracts i'm
volving hundreds of thousands Of
dollars. 1t is also a peculiar fact
that the heads of big corporations
have not been indicted. If they
had been they too, would have been
able to tell with whom they had
their conferences when in Washing
ton and elsewhere.
A very important witness for the
government in the fraud cases was
before the Washington grand, jury
today. This person is woman,
very pretty, and it is said that she
was able to give the testimony
which enabled the government to
get an Indictment atf-ctIng "ne OF

a statement made by the local Ma
cedonia committee.
There was a lively meeting of
Macedonians last night in the Sec
ond Baptist church. g. M. Tsilka
whose wife was kidnapped with
Miss Ellen M. Stone. gave true
account of the barbaric practi-
ces of the Turks, and he related in
stances of unprovoked craelty of
which he had been a witness. He
denied the reports that the brigands
who captured Miss Stone and Nine.
Tsilka were allied to or acting un-
der the direction of the Macedonian
revolutionary party.
When the meeting adjourned
those present dropped their contri-
buttons into the folds of the Ma.
cedonian flag, as it lay half furled
at the door.

Kindness.

Mr.. D. P. .Daughtery well known
throughout Mercer and Summer
counties w. Va. most likely owes
his life to the kindness of a neigh
Dor. He was almost hopelesly af.
hicted withdiarrhoea; was attended
by two physicians who gave him
little, if any relief, when a neigh
Dor learning of his serious condi-
ton brought him a bottle of Cham
berlaip's collie, cholera, and diar-
rheoa remedy, which cured him in
less than "a hours. For sale by

Washington, Sept. 19.-Presi-

fcation of this came today when
1.-THE president received a set Of 'In-

He sent the secretary of the organi-

merely acknowledges the receipt Of
the resolutions It is not probable
that he will voucbsafe any further
answer to the resolutions and 1t is
almost further certain that he will
not accede to the unions demands

Constantinople, Sept. 19.-From
the latest dispatches it appears that
insurgents are daily pressing near
er to the Turkish capital. They
have already made their way into
the vilayet of Constantinople and
the sultan has notified the powers
of the danger which, threatens the
| foreign ministers unless they, re-
main in their legations, where, he
says, he is able to and will protect
them. Americans, owing to their
sympathy with the Christian move
ment, and consequently. with the
insurgents, are in particular danger
from fanatical outbreaks.

Washington, Sept, 18.-The end
of the investigation into the great
postofice scandals, both by the
Washington grand jury and the
postofice department itself. is near
at hand, and no one of political
prominence charged to have been
implicated in the scandals has been
indicted.
Already the charge is being made
openly that the officers of the ad-
ministration who are charged with
'sgoing to the bottom Of things" are
making frantic efforts to indict mi.

people who are really responsible
for the long list of scandals.

certain people, firms, incorporated

DR.. E. F. Dimmick, Of Oakland Is
Dsad-His Wife and Two Com
panions Are Arrested
and in Jail.

Oakland, Sept, 19.-Dr. Edwin
F. Dimmick was found in the throes
of death in lonely canyon of the
Contra Costa hills last night Thurs
day he threatened the lives of his
wife and Edward Troy, coming at
them with al axe. Today he is
dead, aud unless the circumstances
that surround bis demise are
more clearly explained Sheriff
Veale will hold the whole camping
party of which he was member
under arrest. Obviously the whole
story has not been told.
This was camping party from
Oakland, composed of DR.. Dimmick
Mrs. Dimmick, Edward Troy
and man named Bishop. Their
explanation is that Dimmick turn.
ed violently insane yesterday, and
in the evening fed from the party
and was lost in the hills. The fact
that his insanity, if there we're moth.
ing more, should have proved SO
quickly fatal, appears TO Sheriff
Veale in need of clearer explana.
ton than has yet been given. Pend
ing that explanation, the surviving
campers will stay In Jail at Martin
ez.
D. S. Mulholland found Dim
mick's body in a lonely canyon fal
out in the stretch between the Fish
ranch and the Lafayette. Ii
was lying in the bed Of creek or
the Carol ranch. Coroner Curry
took charge of the body and mott
fed Sheriff Veale that the circum'
stances surrounding the death ap-
peared suspicious.
When first seen by Mulholland
Dimmick was walking slowly and
| in a crouching position along the
ridge of allow hill back of the Car.
roll house. He was holding hli
hands to his stomach and was evi'
dently in great pain. Presently ht
threw his hands into the air, and
falling backward, started to rol
down the side of the bill. At thu
edge of the cliff which overhaugs q
canyon, he recovered himself and
stood erect for a moment, only te
fall over again to the bottom Of the
gully.
Mulholland rushed to his assist
ance and found him lying face dowr
| in the sand. His hands were prees
ed against his abdomen.
Making Dimmick's position more
comfortable, be FASTENED to sum

ed about half an hour later Dim
mick was dead.
Several explanations are offered
There is q story of fgbtbetweer
Dimmick and Troy, in which thu
former attacked the latter with ar
axe. 1t is known that Dimmict
was Jealous of Troy. Owing t.
the social and professional promi
nence of Dimmick, the affair haE
caused a sensation here.

Almost every one envies country
children in the summer time and with
very good reason. Our little ones then
have all the advantages Of fresh air,
sunshine and broad fields, and we see
the results when fall comes in sturdy
limbs, bright eyes and brown skins.
How few of us, however, stop to think
of the change in condition when cold
weather comes, and the children are
no longer out Of doofs. We are speak
ing now, says the Home Magazine,
especially of the small children who
have not yet begun to go to school.
They are too cften kept in the house
day after day until some special occa-
sion takes them out. and then they
catch cold. Mothers say they can't
let the little ones play out of doors
in winter because they always catch
cold; but did you ever hear of chill
dren, who go out every day, beingsub-
ject to colds? Too often we fear the
children remain in the house because

see that they are dressed properly for
playing out Of doors. We must admit
that to bundle two or three active lit

time-and may not seem worth the ef

learn to help themselves prepare for

youth shed its luster upon her fine
spun hair and upon her delicate face.
He was sturdy and strong and 1.-the,

Of many things. The river ran on,
and the painted boat near them
swayed and sagged, held BY its hemp

"and introduce myself. They shall
know me as they have never known

Love drew nearer. And as the
youth and the maiden talked Love
listened. And as he listened his face
grew darker,

cautiously to himself. my guardian
ship, my faith, my companionship are
two precious to be wasted"
Love departed Upon the magic
wings of quest and hope he flew back
over the ways that the youth and
maiden came. He saw the stately
cdifces, the princely courts, the gold
en- treasures stored up for them. He
saw servants ministering to their
every want and all the boundless
seryility that waits ON earthly pos
sessions. He visited the bank and

The best way to prepare pumpkin
for winter use is to cut the pumpkin
into long slender slices, put them in
shallow pans and place them in the
oven until they are as dry as chip.
After this. take the dried pumpkin TO
the mill and have it ground into meal
of the same size as cornmeal. This
will keep for an indefinite length of
time, and can be used whenever need
ed. without the necessity of slicing
and grating. Pumpkin meal prepared
in this way win make up as palatably
as the fresh pumpkin.-N. Y. Tribune.

LABOR UNIONS
Citizens Industrial As
sociation Opposes
Eight Hour Law.
National Employers Are
Requested to Give
Assistance.

DAYTON, o., Dec. AT a meeting
to-day of the executive committee of
the recently organized Citizens Indus
trial Associa ton of America, which in
cludes in its basic principles an open
shop. no sympathetic strikes, no re-
striction in the number of apprentices
and output, enforcement of the law and
strong objection TO the walking dele
gate, resolution was adopted asking
Congress not to indorse the eight-hour
bill when that document comes up for
action.
Another resolution requests all en-
ployers' associations throughout the
country to affiliate with the national
body. The determined stand to be taken
by the association is indicated in the
passing of a resolution instructing all
members of employers associations af-
filiated with the national body not. to
place the union label on any of their
output. 1t is proposed to establish
labor information bureau where will
be kept a tabulated record Of all law
breakers and undesirable workmen.
The present boycott methods of
unions were bitterly denounced.
