Scotty McConomy, better known as ons-eyed Scotty, while Oh his way to Teller last week was overtaken by a blizzard and suffered badly frozen hand; his face was also frozen, but not seriously.
 Mrs. Shaugnessy of the Penny River roadhouse got word by phone that Scotty was caught in the storm and needed help; she immediately dls- patched a dog team to bring him to her house. In the meanwhile Scotty was taken in at the Slnrock mission, where Sinrock Charley and others treated him the best they could; when Mrs. Shaughnessy dog team arrived Scotty was returned to the Penny River roadhouse, where Mrs. Shaugh- messy treated his frozen hand and face, until the arrival of Christensen, a member of the Miners Union, who had been sent with a dog team from the Miners Union to bring Scotty to Nome.

ORCHARD
 SENTENCED

Special to the Nome Industrial Worker.
 Boise, March Is. Judge Wood this morning passed sentence upon Harry Orchard, the self confessed murderer of ex Governor Stuenenberg, setting May 15 as the date for his execution.
 He made a recommendation, how ever, for commutation by board appointed for the purpose, basing the plan upon the legal decision of inn munity because of his confessions and evidence against the men who were accused.
 The Judge stated that he believes the other men were connected with the conspiracy to murder the late govrenor are yet to ha drought to justice.
 Members of organized labor and it's friends claim that the whole persecu- tion of Orchard takes on the charac- ter of "white wash" and the belief is common that Orchards punish ment will not be greater than a short term in prison. It was practically established in the Haywood trial that Orchard had been promised immunity by the prosecution if he would assist in convicting Haywood and breaking up the Federation.

 The conditions on the coast at this time are proof of the teachings of the Industrial Workers, and the wage slave is readily realizing the same. The A.

 The Seattle membership is also to be credited with the organization of Beningham, as they took the initia- tive by supplying the men and funds to go to that city and carry on cam paign to destroy a sherman local, and build up bona fide labor organiza tion. The I. w. w. at Bellingham now has fine open headquarters, free reading room, and is coming along nicely.
 The future is promising for the l. w. w.. in this city at the preseIt. and it is also promising for the organ- ization all along the coast county.

 SCALDED

Aodlph Kruzner, who has been pro specting near town, was severely burned Wednesday morning by the explosion of a boiler. His mustach, eyebrows and hair were considerably scorched. The accident occurred early in the morning, and Kruzner did not wait to see a doctor but went to the City Barber shop where he washed himself and applied such lotions as were at hand. He is not disfigured by the injuries, as the heat did not penetrate into the skin.

WORKERS DOWN COAST
 ENDORSE OUR PAPER

l have talked to a number of miners and others, who say that they regard the news features of the Nome Miners paper to be better and more reliable than either of the other papers pub lished on Seward peninsula.
 l am quite sure that the Miners paper has larger circulation around Solomon, Bluff, Council etc., than any other paper has ever had. Many working men, prospectors, miners etc., have told me that as soon as they come to Nome or as soon as their financial conditions will allow, they will subscribe and assist to in crease the circulation of paper which stands always for the working people.

Believing that few lines relative to the organization work being carried on in Seattle will be of interest to others ] will jot off few paragraphs.
 Nearly two years ago the movement was progressing at rapid pace, when the rocks of political fanaticism of "my brand !' or none were struck upon and the economic ship came nearly sinking. However, she was saved bv gallant crew of 70, ",s.t'>''' ists and at present appears to be talk ing on the activity of couple of years ago.
 I arrived here two weeks ago. when the members had under way the or ganizing of laborers local and also an Italian branch. In the two weeks we have finished the work started, and two more local unions have been added to the list in Seattle. The charter has already arrived for the Public Service Laborers, and Ill few days the work will be extended to a point where the charter for the ltal- ian Branch will be applied for.
 In the past two weeks we have held IS meetings, taken in 29S members, organized two locals, and sold consid- erable literature and buttons. The receipts coming in to nay hands have been over Sl0. This is not counting about S70 that has been sent direct to headquartes by the locals during the same time. Also during the two weeks of propaganda work the mixed local have taken in sufficient funds to pay all running expenses and settle their debt at headquarters, as well as leave small cash balance in their treasury.
 The Industrial Local Unions Of this city have a hall in the proletarlan part of the city, and just at this stage of "prosperity" it is no trouble to fil the same every night, and some times afternoons, to tell, and re-tell to the poor wage slave ''how it all happen ed" Certainly he is in a mental con dition to now accept the nest 'radi cal' talk, and has been so tanned Il the past few weeks that the mention

ators commenced to club the union men and to otherwise abuse them. Of course some of the union men and sympathizers resisted the assault per petrated upon them. This was used as pretext for the United States marshal and deputies to repair to the union hall and seize the secretary of the union, the organizer of the w. r. M. and the editor of the Min CTS paper. All three of these were thrown into jail on the trumphed up charge of harboIing rioters.
 The three officials of the union were then held in jail, bail in the sum of three thousand dollars were offered the union officials but as the court has the say of whether the bail offered is good and sufficient, the officials of the union have so far not been re- leased.
 From The best reports obtained, however, it appears that the attempt of the operators to disrupt the union by having the officials thrown into jail have failed in their purpose and the union men seem more determined than ever to resist the attempt to disrupt and destroy their union.
 X number of camps have granted the demands of the union and are employing union men; a number of business men have also come to their senses and can now see that for the N. c. company and it's supporters to succeed in crushing the union means

Editor Nome Industrial Worker:
 During the winter, l have had occa- siol to learn the sentiment of the working men down the coast ill re- gard to the policy of the Miners pap,r. I can readily say that the None Industrial Worker, the Miners paper, is held in high esteem by all the working men down that way, who think for themselves and appreciate a clean cut union paper.
 The editorials are carefully read by all, and it is the consensus of opinion that they come up to the standard of true unionis m better than those of any paper that has ever been pub lishsd in Nome.

W. II. Holmes received telegram from Delegate Tom Gale Tuesday in which he denies having declined re nomination. The telegram is as fol pows:
 Washington, March l1.-W. H. Holmes, Nome: Reports false. Peo- pie must name candidate. Not me Thomas Gale. ''
 The above dispatch is ill answer to a telegram sent to the delegate by Holmes asking if he had refused to run. It now appears that the dis patches published in the local papers to the effect that Gale had declined to run again were false. Of course we should not charge the local papers with the misdeed of faking the tele grams; however the false reports con- corning Delegate Gale is an other

evidence that some of the news dished up to the public of Nome is tainted and painted.
 1t now comes to light that the pur- ported dispatches stating that Gale would not run for collection, which were published in the Nugget and the Gold Digger were absolutely false. Many thot at the time they were be- ing published that they were taked- up in Seattle. Whether they were or not, people have learned from this little experience that much news pub lished in some of the local papers is very unreliable. The dear public has been giving these aforesaid papers good money for tainted and painted news.

The workers of the Panama organ ized in the Western Federation of Miners are making a heroic fight for the rights of the workers who dig the gold and develope the country. They are on strike for five dollars and eight hours, wkich is no more than reasona ble, considering that the whole wealth of the district is produced by them, namely the workers in and around the mines.
 On Monday last the operators made desperate effort to crush the spirit of the brave miners of the Panama, who are making the stand for the perpetuation of the union and to the end that the \. c. company and other corporate interest shall not completely enslave the workers of Fairbanks.
 In order to accomplish their ends the operators, abetted by the United States marshal and others, instigated a riot in order that they might have a pretext to seize the officers of the union and the editor of the Miners paper and throw them into jail, thinking by such action that the rank and file of the miners would be de- moralized and discouraged.
 A bunch of scabs were paraded in view of the union miners; some of the union boys or their sympathizers hooted the scabs, whereupon the United States marshal acting ill accordance with the will of the oper

DELICATE CHILDREN AL Persons Who Have Del. Icate Children in Mont gomery, Ala., Will se In- teFosted iH this Article.

Rapidly growing children need a great deal of vitality. They grow fast, play hard and work too hard at school. Then the appetite becomes fitful. their nights are restless and they soon be- come weak, delicate and sicliy.
 We want to remind the parents of every such child in Montgomery that our delicious cod liver preparation, vinol. will correct these troubles and make for each child new vitality, sound flesh and muscle tissue, strong bone structure and pure rich red blood. It will build them up. i'll out hollow cheeks and make them strong. robust and rosy.
 Mrs. c. Allen of New Bedford, Macs, writes: with two puny, ailing chil- dren, I was very much worried. I had tried almost everything to build them up without success, and, as a last re- sort tried vinol. The benefit was great in 6 very short time. they gained flesh and strength so rapidly" ,.e
 The reasos Vinol is so far superior to old-6ashioned cod liver oil emul- sions and other tonics for children. is because Vinoi is delicious modern cod liver preparation without oil made by a scientific attractive and concen- trating process from fresh cods' flyers. combining with .peptonate-of-ir0n all the medicinal, rlseaaings body.bui3dink elements of cod lfverz oil, but no oil, and children love 1t.

st. Stephens Notes.

St. Stephens, Feb. 16.--(Special.)-A meeting of the County Democratic Ex- ecutive Committee has been called to meet here at the court house on Mon- day, February 14. So far politics are very quiet in this county. All of the old officers are unopposed except the treasurer, W. H. Harriss. pr. J. Chat om of Chatom, the new county seat. is out for treasurer,
 News has just reached here of the death of wi1lias Daughtery. one of the oldest residents of Washington coun- fy, at his home near Seaboard. Ala, a few days ago.
 The Washington County News, the county paper, announces that 1t will move to Chatom when the records and offices go.
 Great surprise has been caused here in court circles by the purchase of several sections of the Wagar Lumber CoTnpany's lands from the trustees ot the AIabama Insane Hospital. It is claimed that these lands are what are known as swamp and overflow lands and the Wagar Land Company's title to them is void, If this contention is tfiis, 1t Is reported that 1t will affect 4he title to over 150.000 acres in this county alone.
