TAKES PLACE
With Four Hundred Coal Nj
ners at Merchants Plant
at TunneIton.

One OF the greatest strikes in the
history Of the Merchants Coal Com
pany OF Tunnelton. is on At the pres
ent time and there are altogether
about 100 miners and other mine
workers involved in the big strike. 1t
is difficult to say how long it may
last.
The whole trouble resulted through
a wage diagreement over a proposed
reduction on the part of the coal
company to take effect on April /.
Notices were posted at the mines
stating that on and after the first OF
the month there would be a reduction
Of ten per cent in the wages Of em-
ployes working in and around the
mines on account of the reduction IN
the price Of coal, and this created
some heated comment on the part OF
the miners.
The men held a meeting and decid-
ed that they would not agree to the
reduction and they went TO work rs
usual and 4 committee of Nine
Workers informed the operators that
they would not agree to the redue-
ton.
The storm broke this week when
the miners appeared for their work
as usual The mines was closed
against them and they were informed
that unless they acceeded to the de-
mand OF the operators the mines
would be closed down Indefinitely
They were facing what the miners
characterized as 4 lockout"

PARKERsBURG. April Hon
Charles W. swisher, secretary Of
state, and the leading candidate for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor. was in Parkersburs today en-
route to the interior OF the State.
Upon his arrival here Mr.. swisher
was Informed by some OF his local
supporters that a rumor had been
circulated in this city to the effect
that an EFFORT was being made In
Washington by some Of the sO-called
powers that be" to have him with
draw from the race. On the
strength of this, Mr.. sWisher gave
out the following statement:
Il don't know whether there Is
any foundation for this rumor or not.
or whether It is merely groundIess
gossip circulated in the hope of az
fecting my candidacy. Whatever
1t amounts to. II anything. or who
ever Is responsible for 1t, want TO
state emphatically that so far as I
am concerned, am In this contest

ed and elected.

the suggestion Of any of the sO-called
Bosses. and If there are any such
trying to interfere with my candi-
dacy. either to help or hinder Il.
they are arrogatlng to themselves
more authority than they have the.
ability to execute.
Furthermore. I have no people

ington, Charleston or anywhere else.

from the start and will manage 1t to
the end. and what organization have
behind my candidacy am the author
of and responsible for. And may
add that am proud OF what that
organization Of good friends has done
for me thus far.
Il have refrained in this cam
palgn from giving out interviews.
but think this rumor reported here
justiaes a very direct and emphatic
statement from me so that my friends
throughout the state may know that
am in this contest till the finish. NO
one can Withdraw me or force me to
withdraw. Whatever comes and
wh3ever happens; whatever rumors :
or reports circulated. 1 want my

eide, and / am leaving It to them,

sentatves in convention.
Il can't begin to make this dec
Iaration as strong as 1 wish. for un-
der no circumstances shall I cease TO

main in the contest to the end be al

Mrs. Whitmore's
Rings Found
IMPORTANT CLUE IN HELPING
FIX BLAME FOR THE Wo-
MANS MURDER.

NEW YORK. Jan. 6.-The jewelry
worn by Mrs. Theodore Writmore, the
Harrison. N. j., swamp victim. when
last seen was found in Brooklyn
saloon. Fred f. Radine, the saloon
keeper, says the rings, pins and locket
with quantity of table silver, were
left with him by whitmore, the wo-
mans husband, how detained in the
Harrison jail.
Radine is not sure whether Whit
more turned the property over to hi,n
for keeping on the night of December
80 or 81. He declares himself sure It
was one or the other-four or FIVE
days after this woman's body was
found in the swamp.
Saw Her With Jewelry.
Several witnesses have testified to
seeing Mrs. Whitmore with the jew
elry on the last day she was alive.
Whitmore, himself, says she wore II
when she left home Christmas day.
1t was not found on the corpse AMI
Whitmore swore he had no idea what
had become of it.
Acting Prosecutor Vickers, at Har-
rlson, demanded an explanation OF the
conflicting stories when he heard the
jewelry had been found. Whitmore
was on the grill an hour, He wept
and wrung his hands when Radine's
statement was reported to him. but
refused to deviate from his previous
story. He did not take the jewelry TO
the saloon, he vowed, nor did he know
how 1t came into Radine's hands.
The find included a diamond, q
marquiess. turquoise and diamond, i
garnet aid plain gold wedding ring,
diamond lovers knot and pearl
breast pin, gold locket with two chill.
dren's pictures inside and handful
OF silver knives and forks. All have
been fully identified by Mrs. Whit
more's friends.
officers from the Brooklyn detec-
tive bureau found the property. They
considered Radine's saloon, almost d.
rectIy across the street from the Whit
more home, likely place to look for
clues and stuck to the trail until the
saloon keeper decided to tell what he
knew.
Harry is Found.
The mysterious Harry" = Harry
Hendrfckson is his full name-of
whom Whitmore was SO Jealous that
frequent violent quarrels occurred
concerning him between husband and
wife, was also learned to be stopping
at RoseTyn, L. l.. where detectives
have gone to see him.
Hendrickson lives with his mother
in Manhattan and she says he spent
Christmas day at home except for a
short absence to visit nearby friend

for its blood cleansing and specific cura-
tive effects upon the diseased mucous
membranes. 1t will cure very large
per cent. of all cases, even after they
have reached the lucrative, or chronic
stage, and no matter of ho,C many gears
standing they may be. 1t is equally
efiicaci0us in affections of the mucous
lining OF the larynX, bronchla and res
piratory organs in general, thus curing
bronchitis, laryngitis and other atfec-
tions giving rise to obstinate, hang-on-
coughs. 1t is not so good in acute
coughs following sudden colds, as IN
the lingering, chronic coughs. Nor
must the "Golden Medical Discovery"
be expected to work miracles. 1t will
not cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that, but
for all obstinate hang-on-cougtls due TO
laryngal or bronchial irritation and
kindred affections, OF the throat which,
if neglected or badly treated, are likely
to lead up to consumption, the DIS
covcry" can be relied upon to produce
the best curative results.
The vGolden Medical Discovery" is,
from its>tonic and specific curative con-
troll over mucous surfaces, especially
etiicacous in curing indigestion, dys-
pepsia, weak stomach and "Liver Com
plaint )" or biliousness. Even liberation
Of the stomach and bowels has in thou
sands of cases been cured by 1t; also
obstinate chronic diarrhea.
In addition to all the foregoing, not
the least valuable OF the marvelously
efiicacious properties possessed by the
Discovery" is the unequaled regulat-
ing and strengthening effect exerted by
1t over the hearts action. 1t has made
some wonderful cures of very pro-
pounced vaIvnIar and other affections
of that organ.
The reason why vGolden Medical
Discovery" cures so wide range OF dis
eases is made plain in booklet sent
free on request mailed to DR.. X. v.

The powerful alternative or blood pur-
flying properties possessed by the "Dls-
covery" will naturally suggest its use
for the cure of blotches, pimples, erup'
tons; as eczema, salt-rheum, and other
skin affections in all of which 1t has
made remarkable cures; also in scroiu-
Ious sores and old, open ulcers, or eat eat
ing sores. To heal the latter, use DR..
