says: pitched battle between the mill

afternoon. John Carley a union miner.
was killed. The troops returned to Victor
at o'clock tonight. bringing with them
fourteen captives.
Before the special train left Victor. bear
ing the force under General Bell, IL was re-
ported that the miners In the hills about
Dunnville numbered about $50 men, and
that 1t was their intention to march into
victor tonight in a body and attempt to
liberate by force the inmates of the tenn
porary bull pen" That the force actually
consisted of but twenty-one men is the
statement of one of the fourteen men who
were captured by the militia.
Union Miners Opened Fire.
The train proceeded to the immediate Vi
cinity of Dunnville without unusual Incl
dent When about a quarter of a mile dis
tant from the Dunnville temporary station
the officers could see the camp of the
miners. 1t included one cabin and six or
seven tents. The officers left the train at
the command of General Bell, and prepared
TO advance upon the camp Of the unionists
In regular skirmish order As they emerg-
ed from the cut in which the train had
come to stop they were greeted with a
volley of shots which came from points of
vantage In the surrounding hills.
The deputies returned the fire, and pro-
miscuous shooting was engaged in for a
period OF ten minutes. From the character
of the shooting from the hills General Bell
Immediately recognized the fact that the
strength OF the miners had been greatly
overestimated, and that he had sufficient
force under his command to make an i'm
mediate roundup and capture the entire
opposing force.

Brother Bryan has been accused of being a dlsturber of the Democratic peace. So he now makes a generous off, fe.. Having twice furnished the De- mocracy with a platform and candidate, MT. Bryan advertises for platform and offers the sum of s1OO for it on two con- ditions. Condition one is that it shall refer to imperialism, trusts, money, tar if and labor. The other condition is that the Brooklyn Eagle. the New York World. the Boston Herald. the Rich rnond Times, the Memphis Commercial Appeal, the Nashville Banner and the Atlanta Journal shall agree upon that platform for which MT. Bryan offers s1OO for equal distribution among those pa pers. He kindly adds what may be called conditional or subsidiary offers. If all the papers named by him cannot all agree on the same platform, a propor- tionate sum will be given by him for any platform on which two or more of the papers named will agree. If no two of them can agree upon the same plat form, Mir. Bryan will give s1O to any of the newspapers which he names which will prepare and publish such plat form, provided that no Republican pa per of equal circulation within ten days will claim that such platform is a Re- publican document. He will also give s1o extra to any one of the papers named that will secure either from MT. Cleveland or from MT. German, or from Judge Parker. letter that will endorse all of the platform proposed by it.
 Probably Brother Bryan will be able to keep his hundred dollars, but it does- n't appear that he has added anything to the peace by making his remarkable offer.

 Perhaps the one element of the cli- mate of the Rocky Mountain region that 'impresses the newcomer most deeply, and also most pleasantly, is that of the abundance of sunshine. Tn this par ticular, both in winter and in summer alike, this is not only the Italy of Amer ica! It outshines Italy and equals northern Egypt. Here every day has it's sunshine and practically every day is all sunshine. When you go into the mountains for the winter leave your ear-muffs at home and take your sfnaked glasses. There is more sun- shine than in either California of Flori- da. Dwellers in the mountains who have been called by business or who have gone in obedience to fashion to Florida for the winter seldom go more than once; they come back to hear with envy of the clear bracing days their neighbors have enjoyed at home.

 Boston and other large cities. On the East Side in New York and at the North
 End in Boston the schools in the poorer
 districts are kept open at night to give
 the children of the crowded tenements a clean and comfortable place to study their morrow's lessons, with some one to help them on difficult points. The children resort to these evening study rooms in surprising numbers, and the
 teachers help them patiently and, en- couragingly.
 As a whole, the Middle West is more intense in matters of education than the other parts of the country. The schools of the Middle West are newer than the eastern schools and more modern, be-

 knowledge there than elsewhere, and money is spent to advantage. The

ADDITION TO 4 SIMPLE srony.

Awhile ago we told the simple story of the matrimonial career of Mrs. Moke Smith, of Calwood, Galloway county, Missouri. She had then been married and divorced seven times, and her hy- phenated name was Mrs. Shaffer- Smith-Altheiser Smith Berry Berry Smith. Now she is married again, and we take pleasure in making the needed addition to her story. She was going to remarry Mole Smith the other day, or at least, Moke thought she was, and the announcement was made that she was. The announcement was based on the fact that Moke had taken out a marriage license. Mole has returned his license to the office of the recorder of Galloway county, and his former in tended is now the bride of one Cal James. When Moke secured his license he evidently had little faith in Fannies constancy, for as he handed the fee to the recorder he asked as to the slimita- tion of the permit, and was told that it held good for only ninety days. That question showed that he was not cer- tain as to when he would have use for the document, and from what resulted afterwards his doubts were seen to be well founded While Moke was arrang- ing for this wedding Fannie was ar ranging for another Taking five dol- lars of the money Moke had intrusted to her care, she engaged a team, wagon and driver, and on the very night of the day the license was issued for her and Moke Smith to marry she bade adieu to the CaIwood hills and was on her way to Boone county with the man she in- tended to wed. But Moke was not that man. Cal James, a grizzled veteran, who had fought in the sixties under Pap" Price, had captured Fannie's heart and talked the matter over with her, and they concluded to go by moon- light to Columbia that night and wed the next day. This they did; and while Moke is nursing his sorrow in the ram parts of Calwood, the fair young bride and her soldier laddie are enjoying the bliss that comes with realization of loves young dream, and possibly by this time are talking up the prospects of still another divorce.
 Watch for the next addition to the simple story of Mrs. Shaffer- Smith, Altheiser Smith : Berry Berry Smith James matrimonial career.

While they have twenty y-f1ve cloudy days, Chicago has one hundred and fourteen, New York one hundred and three, Ashville one hundred and six.
