gressmen were in a mood to desire
amusement, and he furnished it on the
vaudeville order.
Bede has his full share of friends In
Washington. He could not help that il
he wished to, for he is likable fellow
who makes friends with whoever he
meets. 1t is a trait characteristic OF
the life he led for number of years
as a rowing newspaper reporter and
printer. During those years he picked
up a large acquaintance throughout
the southern and western states in
which he has written fire and police
reports, done local politics, and all
the various odds and ends that fall to
the lot of the general reporter in daily
journalism.
Bede was originally a republican,
then in 1888 he nopped over to the
democrats and voted for Cleveland,
going back to the republicans again at
the time of Bryan's nomination in Chi
cago. 1t is rather coincident that Bede
should have won fame by one speech
in which Col. Bryan figured promi-
nently, and that Col. Bryan should
have gained fame in a speech-"The
Cross of Gold"-which drove Bede out
of the democratic party and sent him
onto the stump for Mckinley. Such
are the strange ways of politics.
Bede is by no means novice at
politics, though he is not proverbial
office holder. Cleveland appointed him
United States marshal for Minnesota
in 1892, but he resigned within year,
and remained a private citizen until
elected to congress last year He is
from Chic. and was born on
a farm in Lorraine county in that
state in 1856.

Labor Trouble In Mining Town
Ends Fatally.
A Fight in which Four Persons Are
killed and Three Others
wounded.

Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. S.-A bloody
tragedy was enacted Sunday in the little
mining town Of Coal Creek, Tenn, 40
miles northwest of Knoxville, as the
result of which four lives were snuffed
out and three persons wounded, one per-
haps fatally. The clash was the culmi-
nation of the trouble between union and
nonunion labor. Three of the dead men
were killed by guards employed by the
Coal Creek company, while the fourth
victim, a deputy sheriff, was killed by a
guard he had gone to arrest.
When the wage scale was signed in
District 10, United Mine Workers OF
America, the Coal Creek company re-
fused to resume work in the Fraterville
and Thistle mines, and for several
months these two mines were shut down.
Efforts were made to resume with nom
union men, but these were either in
duced TO join the union or were chased
away, presumably by union men. The
aid of the courts was invoked to Gust
families of union miners from the
houses owned by the company. Scores of
arrests were made for trespassing fur
Their and Ill feeling was thus engendered.
Recently dozen guards in charge of
Jud Reeder, who served as lieutenant
of police in this city for many years,
were employed to guard the mines and
protect the men who had been induced
to go to work. Nonunion men were be-
ing brought to the mines every few days,
and Reeder and his guards would go to
the railroad station and meet them. On
Sunday the crowd of idlers around the
station was Increased. Reeder and IL
guards came from the mines to meet a
few nonunion men who We're to arrive
on the morning train. When the non.
union men got off the train and were
seen by number of small boys, they be-
gan yelling scab," and the killing grew
out of this taunt. 1t is hard to tell what
the provocation was, but the miners
must have crowded up and attempted
TO take away the nonunion men bodily
or offered some direct insult to the
guards. Reeder and another guard
drew their pistols and began shooting.
Reeder doing most Of 1t. Minersand by
ISLANDERS were taken by surprise, and
before they could realize what had han.
pened the guards had climbed into their
wagon and rlven back to the mines,
About IL o'clock dispute arose be-
tween Deputy Sheriff Bob Harmon and
Guard Cal Burton. Burton shot Har-
mon twice, killing him instantly

members of the commission believe
the young lady wrote the STORY cor
rectly, but an enterprising city editor
either not believing the story of much
value in that shape, or typographical
error, made it read that the commits
sion had decided mot" to include the
popular hymn. The item created a
terrible stir in church circles, and
brought down upon the heads of me
innocent members of the commission
the wrath of the church in general,
and entailed a vast amount of cor
respondence on their part.
The story fully explained the desire
of the commission to remain out of

assurances that similar error"
would not occur in any Of the Wash.

curious story of long anti-Catholic OPP

President Mckinley was seldom seen
in Washington without carnation in
his buttonhole. His favorite among
the carnations was the red or carmine
He wore one of these in preference TO
the white, as a rule, and when he
wanted to show his pleasure at meet

nation, most frequently a red. All
over the country to-day are women
who have in various states OF preser-
walton carnations given to them by
the president when they called with
their husbands or others to visit him.
The president liked little girls, and 1T
was a pleasure TO him to pin carna-
lions on their little dresses or give
them one each to take away in their
hands. No honor could have been
higher to these fortunate ladies and
misses than this. There were times
when a bevy of school girls would cal
at the white house. President Nc
Kinley would see that he could moi
give them all carnations, as he did moi
have that many on his desk, but
number of times some of the more
courageous girls would ask for The
flowers. These girls got what they
asked for, with charming smile II
