most persons cook chestnuts. and
even here many slip up. DO not cook
until the shell shriyels: do not let
the nuts stand In the water to cool.
and do not put in salt until the last.

special convention OF the United
Mine Workers adjourned after row
in which two men were knocked
down and one was so badly beaten
with pop bottles that II required a
physician to sew up the gashes In his
scalp. The victim was delegate
from Missouri who had stood by
Lewis in the exciting debate over the
substitute for the committee report,
and his assailants were delegates
from Illinois. The Missouri man was
attacked in the corridors of the hall
and knocked two OF his assailants
down, but they came at him so fast
and In such numbers that he was
bleeding from dozen scalp wounds
before others interfered and saved
him from death.
Speaking OF the results OF the con.

its action is the Endorsement iof all
existing strikes, which are to be sup

Ing here OF the executive committee
of the Ohio Federation Of Labor, res
olutions were adopted calling upon
the governor to summon a special
session of the general assembly to
enact law permitting Municipalities
to own street car lines. The Colum-

denounced for importing men OF al.

the stockholders believed that this
was the only way in which to bring
about peace in the Columbus street

tinued that unless some action to-
