another villany that would exceed any.
thing before attempted. With them ii
was also a question of wiping the
Western Federation of Miners off the
map
They saw that the only way to de-
stroy the miners organization was to
deport the individual members. This
they could not: do in q time Of pro-
found peace. To inaugurate the prop
er conditions necessary for deporta-
ton purposes, some crime of unbeliev-
able proportions must be committed.
This was found in the blowing up Of
the independence depot.
Still another theory is found by
some people in the fact that the
best organized, most class conscious
and most advanced labor body in the
world. To effect the overthrow of this
organization was a glory of which any
coterie of capitalists might be proud.
They could then point with pride to
their energy and initiative and tell the
capitalists Of the effete East to go and
do likewise. Then the driving of the
union miners from the Portland mine
anG the bringing of that company into
the Mine Owners Association was a
feat that amply repaid any loss Of con-
science or money which the transac-
ton might occasion.
The claim that union men were the
instigators of that explosion is the
merest balderdash. Up to the time of
it's occurrence the union had every
thing coming it's way. Negotiations
FL fri pho of
settlement of the strike. The union
stores were prosperous, every member
of the striking organization was being
cared for, and though constant effort
was made by hired thugs of the cor
poration to embroil union men in pet
ty disturbances SO that exaggerated
reports of union 1awlessness could be
sent East, still peace prevailed and
everybody was apparently >contented.
One of the cardinal policies Of or
zganized labor is to- refrain from Yio--.

for stealing ore, beating their wives

Out.
In inquiring into the causes Of the
independence depot explosion and try
ing to ascertain the identity Of the
person or persons guilty OF the crime
the representative of the Appeal has
unearthed many facts which, to the
present moment, have been kept in
the background, but whose signifi-
canoe throws great deal of light on
the situation.

MCCUE GUILTY
OF MURDER
Not a Culver of Muscle Showed
Itself i'm His Face, Not a
Tear From his eyes.

Charlottesville. Va, Noy. 5.-At
11:34 O'Clock this morning the jury in
the McCue murder case returned a
verdict OF guilty of murder i'm the first
degree"
The silence was frightful and no
words can describe the tensity OF the
situation as the jury filed into the
court room. Then came an awful
stillpess as the accused was asked to
stand up and hear the verdict
"Are you ready with your verdict,
gentlemen of the jury?" asked Judge
Morris.
ave are said Foreman Shields.
"What is your verdict?'' asked the
court.
Then came the awful answer:
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant
guilty as charged in the indictment, of
murder in the first degree"
Not CULVER OF muscle showed
itself in his face, not a tear fell from
his eyes. And then, when he sat down,
the awful significance OF the scene fell
vi on the great crowd like pail
Nearly every man, women and child
wept. The ex-mayor's little children
wept as il their hearts would break
and the strong woman who 80 long
have supported the accused with their
comfort and help gave way to an
agony OF grief.
Five or ten minutes after the yer.
diet the prisoner leaned his head OF
the shoulder OF his aunt, Mrs. Marshal
Dinwidie, and then gave way to tears
But in five minutes more he was him
self again.
The court set Wednesday next, a
noon, 10 hear argument Of motion o
defense for new trial.
The jury was dismissed and tn,
court adjourned
McCue was taken back 10 his eel
through crowds along the way. Their,
were many affecting scenes at tn,
close.

THE McCUE VERDICT.

The verdict Of the jury in the case Of
OF McCue, the wife murderer OF Char
louisville, has been received with widely
differing opinions in the country gener.
ally. The opinion was expressed free.
ly here by some of our best lawyers
that. according to the evidence as re-
ported in the newspapers, the verdict
would not be for murder In the first
degree, and to number OF other peo-
pie the verdict came as surprise.
There Is no doubt expressed by any
one, SO far as we have heard, that Nc
Cue killed his wife, but that he did II
premeditatedly, does not seem to have
been shown, so far as the evidence, as
published goes TO show. However,
twelve intelligent, unpreiudiced men,
carefully and closely sifted the evidence,
and after hearing it all, under the
direction Of the most skillful and faith
full lawyers the state could afford, de-
liberately and unanimously decided
that the accused was guilty OF murder
in the first degree. 1t is strong point
in favor OF the justice OF the verdict
awful as it is. that the people Of Char.
louisville, OF all classes, who know all
about the man, and have known al
about his home life and habits FOL
years, almost universally, according &c
the papers, approve the verdict of the
jury. The case is TO be carried 70 the
higher courts. and 1t remains TO bt
seen what the fate OF the unfortunat,
man will be.

Dear Sir: "Three-quarter paint" is a
good phrase for the best outside of
Devoe
Devoe is the Standard mark it 100.
The neXt-best-there are several not
far apart-are three-quarter paints;
you may mark them 10 to DEVICES
100.
The bulk of the paints in market are
40 or so or 60; few are better than
co; few are worse than 40.
How do they act? They co er from
one 70 three-quarters as much rs
Devoe; and they last from one to three
quarters as long as Devoe.
What are they worth The same rule
don't hold; il costs more to put-on some
paints than they are worth; they are
not worth anything; the ''put-on" costs
two or three times as much as the
paint

THE DOUBLE LIFE.

The awful and pitiable tragedy Of
Charlottesville, and others of a similar
character brought to light almost daily
by the newspapers all over the country
show the danger OF leading a double
life. Suicides, murders. divorces, de.
sertions, almost without exception, are
traceable to this source. A double life
if persisted in always ends in wreck and
ruin. 1t cannot end otherwise. How
many men. and women too, in this old
world, are living over a magazine every
day An awful. disastrous explosion
may occur at any moment, and will
inevitably occur, sooner or later Viii
