The State Campaiqn.

The Republican State committee have
planned for short and active campaign
and the month of August will be devoted
to rallies all over the State. The COM
mittee hope to secure the services of
Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana,
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois
and Congressman Charles f. Littlefield
of Maine, and Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw of Iowa, as campaign orators.
Senators Proctor and Dillingham; and
Congressman Foster and Haskins will
also speak in various parts of the
State A. j. Markham, the well known
campaign singer, will again tour the
State in the interest of Roosevelt and
Fairbanks.
The indications now point to a great
Republican victory in September and
this will be helped by the oratory of the
distinguished statesmen that are coming
to Vermont.

Great M e at Strike.

AS result of disagreement over the
wages of unskilled men, one of the
greatest strikes the country has seen was
begun Tuesday when 45 900 men in the
employ of the great packing houses at
Chicago, Kanses City, Omaha, etc.,
stopped work. Over $4,000 are idle at
Chicago, 10000 at Kansas City, and
nearly as many more in Omaha and New
York. The price of beef has gone up
from 2 to 10 cents pound in the cities
and famine in meats as far reaching as
the famine in coal will soon be on, as the
stocks of fresh meats will not last two
weeks, and no more can be killed, packed
or shipped by the big combines.
The beef trust claim they can fill the
places of the strikers with other men, but
as the teamsters refuse to handle the
meats, the strikers claim the business
will be paralyzed.
Th latest is that the strike is spread
ing to all the smaller cities. AT Burling-
ton the price of beef has advanced three
cents pound.

Great Strike in Rutland.

The greatest labor conflict that Yer
mont has witnessed was begun in Rut-
land county Tuesday morning at 8
o'clock when all the Union men in
practically all the marble shops in that
country laid down their tools and walked
out of the shops. The marble workers
National Union has declared Rutland
county marble unfair stone and no men,
Der of this great union in the United
States or Canada will touch it. The
Rutland Herald thus summarizes the
strike and the difficulties that lead up to
it: "Amid loud cheers and enthusiastic
applause, bolt was shot by the em
ployees of the marble concerns in this
section in mass meeting Monday even
ing, the course and effect of which will
be watched with interest and concern
not only by people of this vicinity and
state, but by people of this entire
country. By rising vote, in a small
hall in Rutland, the employees started
the most serious labor war that has ever
occurred in Rutland county.
Their vote to strike at 8 o'clock Tues
day morning effects every union man in
the works of the Vermont Marble COM
pany of Proctor and West and Center
Rutland, controlling the largest output
of marble in this country, the Columbian
Marble Quarrying company of Rutland
and the Rutland-Florence Marble COM
pany of Fowler.
"The exact number effected by the
vote is not known, the unions declaring
the shops well organized, and the manu-
facturers stating that only about 40 per
cent of the Vermont Marble company
are union men, while the other concerns
are unable to estimate the union percent
age in their plants. The fight promises
to be bitter one and each side is APP
parently determined to wage it to the
finish. The union men have placed the
output of the three concerns on the un-
fair list, which will cause it to be boy
cOtted by the union men throughout
this country and Canada. The manu-
facturers claim they cannot comply with
the demands of the various unions and
still do business. Whatever the outcome
this section will undoubtedly see serious
times before the matter is satisfactorily
adjusted"
There are about 300 men out in the
various shops outside the Vermont
Marble Coz works at Proctor, Center
and West Rutland, where, it was re-
ported yesterday, about one half the
men struck. There is every indication
of long, hard fight before the strike is
settled

Will See What Vermont Can Do.

The reorganized and rejuvinated YER
mont Press Association has, during the
past year, shown decided symptoms of
business sense. A short session of the
association was held at Montpelier last
Thursday. AT that time it was voted to
accept the invitation to hold its next
quarterly meeting in st. Johnsbury. 1t
was also voted to hold all its business
meetings, SO far as possible in some town
or city where large industry is located.
The idea is that visit of inspection to
such places will be of interest to the
publishers and that the publicity given
them will be of material benefit to the
industries and to the state.-Hardwck

BRYAN MANIFESTO
Nebrasknn Gives His Reasons For
Supporting Parker.


LINCOLN, Neb, July 13.-W. ].
Bryan has issued the following state
ment here:
81 shall vote for Parker and Davis,
the nominees Of the Democratic ma
tional convention, and shall do so for
the following reasons:
"First-Because the Democratic tick
ct stands for opposition TO Imperialism,
while the Republican ticket stands for
an imperialistic policy. On this ques-
ton, which was the paramount issue in
1900 and which must remain an impor-
tant issue so long as an attempt is made
to hold colonies under the American
fiag-on this issue the convention was
unanimous, the platform emphatic, and
I have no doubt that the candidate
will carry out the platform.
"Second.-Mr. Roosevelt is injecting
the race question into American poll
tics and this issue, If It becomes na-
tional, will make it impossible to con-
slider economic questions that demand
solution. The election OF the Demo-
cratic ticket will put q Quietus upon
this attempt and permit the race Ques-
ton to work itself out without the Bit
terness which Mr.. Roosevelts conduct
has engendered
"Th!rd--Slr. Roosevelt stands for the
spirit of war, His friends present him
as a man Of blood and iron. He be-
lieves in strenuousness and inculcates
love for warlike things The Demo
cratic ticket stands for peace, for rea-
force, conquest and buster"

Large Bear Killed by Train.

Bouairc, ga, Aug. Il. Yesterday
morning the sou,hbond & corcia south
crn passenger train ran over what the
engineer supposed to be man at San.
dy Run trcstlc, near Bonarc in IIous-
ton county. Engineer Yates left Ma
c1n several minutes late, and as his
first stoi' is nadilla, II miles below
Macon, he was running at high rate
OF speed, when an object which he
supposed to be man stood erect and
was knocked hcadlong on the ground
several feet below.
The train was stopped as quickly as
possible and a fagman was dispatched
to stop the northbound train, if it
should come along before the man was
rcachcd and either carried to the near
est physician or otherwise cared for.
The train was in charge Of Capt. X.
l'lourncy and Trainmastcr Scott was
in the sleeper.
When the supposed man had been
found the engineer blew for the flag
man to return. The loud blowing Of
the whistle and the train being still
aroused Mr.. Scott from his slumbcrs
and he eagerly asked Capt FlourDcy
why the train had stopped. The ne
gro porter was the first who reached
the supposed dead man, and imagine
his horror when he found instead of
dead man half-dcad black bear,
weighing nearly three hundred pounds,
offering fight.
The bear died before day, and the
next train brought it to Bonairc, where
it was on exhibition from the depot
platform all day Tuesday.
Engineer Yates, Conductor Flour
ney and Trainmaster Scott are all de-
lighted at the killing of bear instead
of man, as they first supposed.

Mr.. Frederick Goodall OF the

Lind. The Swedish singer never
quite mastered our language, and
her habits Of thinking and feeling
remained Just what they had been
in her childhood.
Her ideas in English were perfect
ly charming, although they were ex-
pressed with a foreign accent. The
naivete in many of her remarks was
captivating.
Once when the talk turned on the
subject of mice, an animal for which
ladies are believed to entertain feel
lngs akin to terror-why l have
never been able to understand
Jenny Lind contributed to the dis
cussion of the quaint phrase:

After it had been there about half

There were "A hundred or two hun
