Old Lady's Description of Ills Some
 what Confusing.

Mrs. Rhoda Holmes Nichols. the ar. tist who spends the summer at GloH eester, Mass, where she teaches . numerous sketch class. tells of an old woman who lives on the out skirts of the town and whom she has known for number of years. The old lady has often been sketched by the students of Mrs. Nichols class. and is known to them and to every body else as Aunt Sally.
 When Mrs. Nichols went to Glou- cester this year she called at the quaint little cottage and found the old woman rather more bent than last year and looking a good deal older as she tottered along her little garden leaning on a stick.
 Well. Aunt Sally" said the artist, ''how have you been since last sum, mer?"
 "Oh, not very we'll" she replied, shaking her head. mot very well"
 "Is the rheumatism still bad?'
 "Oh. yes. miss, it's that bad nowa- days I cant set and l can't scarcely lay"

Hard work Is the secret of success It will come quicker if to hard work are added such other attributes as a genial. sunny disposition, the ability to make friends quickly, etc, but the foundation and groundwork of success is hard work and the man just getting into the merchandise business. who follows the rule. who buys carefully and sells carefully, at all times safe guarding his credit, and who has no very bad habits. will win the goal every time-Southern Merchant.

KlNSMAN RESENTS REPORTS.
Col SWann Declares Baltimore Pc lice Have Done Duty--He Is
 Brother-in-iaw of Mrs. Williams.

Baltimore, Md.--Mrs. w. $. G. Will Hams Monday described in detail the shooting of Charles B. Roberts Jr. Fl was an attempt at robbery, pure and simple" she declared. and MT 1 Roberts was shot because he refused to comply with the demand of the man in the mask who ordered him to give up his money,
 MT. Roberts was going along with me ill the rolling chair, and we got to place where the walk was rough. l suggested that we turn back. Just as he told the negro to turn around the chair stopped and masked man thrust a pistol in the chair and or dered us to get out.
 MT. Roberts followed me, and as soon as he had emerged from the chair the man told him to give up his money. When ordered to give up his money, MT Roberts declared he would do nothing of the kind.
 Il was scared, and begged MT. Rob erts to give the man what money he had, but Mir Roberts instead. rushed at the man who was covering him with a pistol and stood only a few paces off As MT. Roberts started forward the man fired two shots. Al though struck by one of the bullets. Mir Roberts kept on toward the man, hn ,ri hi the darkness"
 Did either you or Mir. Roberts rec ognize the voice of his assailant?" Mrs. Williams was asked. She re- piled in the negative.
 Mrs. Williams characterized as ab- surd the connecting of the names Of her husband and brother with the shooting. She justified her being with Roberts as entirely proper.
 Col Sherlock Swann, president of the Board of Police Commissioners, and a brother-in-law of Mrs. Williams, Monday called the newspaper men be- fore the board and said:
 T have sent for you in regard to the publication purporting to be a dispatch from Atlantic City, stating that the police of Baltimore had not co.operated with the Atlantic City police in trying to run down the man who shot Mr Roberts The dispatch by inuendo, intimates that the lack of cooperation was caused by the fact that a member of the Board of Police Commissioners is family con- nection of one of the parties whose name has been drawn prominently in the case
 Then Col Swann, with some feel ing, said: "I am sure that the Balti- more police have done their duty, and that the fact that my name has been mentioned in the case because I am personally acquainted with all those whose names have been mentioned, has had nothing to do with the in- nuendo that our officials have not been active"

Milk Trust in Trouble.

From evidence obtained by the states attorney of Chicago, 1t seems pretty we'll settled that the big milk companies have divided up the coun- try in that section and apportioned each slice to a member of the trust. Farmers testified that no two compan- ies operated in the same town and that prices were fixed by the milk companies in every case and never by the farmers. The only consolation the farmers get out of it Is that there seems to be a faint possibility that some members of the trust may in time be introduced to the inside of a jail.

 A brief study of climatic conditions, and those things which go to make a climate, will show that the farther one travels northward from the Mon- tana border the milder the climate be- comes-up to certain point. ln other words, the climate at Edmonton, Alberta, is far better than that or Denver, 1,500 miles south; and while thousands of cattle and sheep are dy- ing because of the severity of the winters in Wyoming. Montana and other western states, the cattle, sheep and horses of Alberta CRAZE ON THE RANGES ALL WINTER WITH ABSOLUTELY NO SHELTER. This Is all largely because sea-currents ana air-currents have to do with the ma king of the climate of temperate re- sions. For instance, why is 1t that California possesses such a beautiiui climate, with no winter at all, Whiie the New England states on parailei with it have practically six months Of winter out of twelve?
 It is because of that great sweep of warm water known as the Japan current" and this same current nu only affects the westernmost Of the Dominion provinces, but added to US influence are what are known as the chinook winds"-steady and undeVi- ating air-currents which sweep over the great wheat regions of Western

among our labor people. There is lit

LABOR DAY,

Let US: all remember that Labor Day
was made national holiday through
the untiring efforts of organized labor.
It's due observance this year is more
essential to the stability and contin-
ued success of the trades union move
ment than it has been for years. -
The old time enemies Of organized
labor have made desperate efforts this
year to disrupt the movement, and
with it the hours and wages that are
the result Of hard and innumerable
struggles.
Let every member this year partici-
pate with all his heart In the proper
observance of Labor Day, and teach
those union sma shers where we are at,
that they may more readily realize the
utter foolishness Of what they are ut.

THE INJUNCTION ISSUE.

It is manifest that each Of the two
great political parties has reached the
conclusion that Government by In
junction. is an issue upon which the
results of the coming election will in
a great measure depend.
For many years organized labor has
presented to congress it's grievances
against the usurpation Of power by
the Judiciary but all to no purpose.
Hearing on the subject have been
had before congressional committees,
exhaustice arguments embodying the
most conclusive reasons against in
junction abuses were advanced by la
Dor leaders but every session Of con-
gress adjourned without even an at
tempt at defining the position Of the
Republican party upon the subject
Labor never asked congress to sup
press or prohibit the use Of the writ
Of injunction, but what it did ask
congress for-what statesmen plead
with congress for-and what strong
messages from the president urged
congress to do-was to enact a law
prohibiting the abuse Of injunetions.
The party in power, from consider
atoms of business" and vested in
terests" and standing pat instead Of
giving heed to the reasonable requests
Of labor the pleadings Of statesmen, or
the urgent messages Of the president
absolutely refused to give countenance
to any measure likely to disturb the
encroachnents Of the judiciary.
But now upon the eve Of a presi-
Dental election, with the father Of la
Dor injunctions at the head Of the
ticket, 1t was necessary to do some
thing to blind the labor voters, and 50
a plank of glittering generalities was
inserted in the Chicago platform.
which when correctly interpreted does
not improve labor's situation one iota
but rather makes 1t worse.
The party in power has contemptu-
ously disregarded labor's grievances
heretofore, and it is now seeking tc
cover up it's disregard Of the peoples
rights by throwing dust in their eyes
It may find out that it Cannot foo
all Of the people all Of the time"

CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF.

OF all the candidates for the nomi-
nation for sheriff, who have thus far
filed, or whose names have been
mentioned as possible Republican
candidates for that office, there is
not one of them more deserving OF
recognition at the hands of organized
labor than is Sam Owens Of Eveleth.
We have known him for over twenty
years and his treatment OF the work
ingmen, and his attitude towards all
measures intended to alleviate the
hardships of the toilers, has always
been friendly. Labor wants nothing
but its just rights under the law, and
with a man like Owens in the office
of sheriff labor would be sure of get
ting fair play in everything regard
less of race, politics or wealth.

ASHLAND CITY ATTORNEY
.ss TENDERS RESIGNATION

ASHLAND, July 15.-At a meeting
Of the. city council last night City At
torney colignon rendered his resigna-
ton to the council and 1t was accepted
His successor was not appointed. Mr..
Colignon's reason for resigning was
on, account Of having to give too much
time to city matters to the detriment
OF his own business. Once before at
the time the Edward Hines tax case
was before the council Attorney Col
:i8nonE rendered his resignation because
the council would not heed his advice.
The council refused at that time to
accept the resignation so Mr.. Colignon
proceeded with the case against the
Hines Lumber company to enforce col-
lection OF their taxes and won his case
in the supreme court. z2S5.
