An Alarming Condition in Kanawha
County Coal Fields.

Charleston, w. Va, Aug. -
About fifteen hundred miners of
the Kanawhan district came to
Charleston today and this after
noon held meeting on the public
levee, and returning took with
them seven hundred rifles, all
they we're able to procure in the
city. One department store re-
ports selling three hundred and
fifty, besides all the ammunition
it had.
The purpose of the coming of
the miners was not stated. A
report was circulated, however,
that they came to meet the GOV
ernor but no communication v as
had with that official relative to
such a meeting.
The governor however, was
not in the city and has not been
for some time. The meeting
here was addressed by Mother
Jones and several Socialists, can
nidatcs for county Offices.
The aged woman counseled the
men to keep away from the sa-
looms and not to attack the state
militia, as it was said to be the I.
given it to perform, but that
they should prepare and stand
for their rights.
The mines, she contented,
rightfully belonged TO the miners
and that they would yet get what
belonged to them.

The denomination by acclima-
ton of John M. Hamilton for
Congress was a reward well
earned and well deserved. Well
earned by the splendid record he
has made in the Congress now
about to adjourn and well de-
served on account Of the eXem-
p,ary and unimpeachable charac-
ter of the man himself. He has
been unusually active in the in
PRODUCTION and support of many
meritorious measures, and the
interests of his constituents,
both Democrats and Republicans,
have been well guarded. He has
devoted many months of study tc
one measure alone that will give
the people Of West Virginia more
relief than any legislation accom-
plished in the past decade his
Virginia Debt resolution. A
testimonial as regards his char.
acter to the readers of this pa.
per would be superhuous, foi
there is hardly a voter in Cal,
noun county who does not know
him and know him favorably.

Mrs. Housewife, no doubt you
are now engaged in your annual
task of preserving berries for
winter use and you find that the
amount you are compelled to
spend for sugar is quite a heavy
drain upon the family purse.
You are probably paying seven
and half cents per pound for this
commodity and you no doubt
think your grocer is receiving an
eXorbitant profit. But he isn't.
He would more than likely be
glad to quit selling this article
for after paying freight, rent
and other expenses he cannot
more than break even.
But here is an explanation of
fered by Arbuckle Brothers, the
New York Sugar refners, in a
letter 20 Senator O'Gorman, of
New York, asking the removal
of all import duties on sugar
coming into the United States.
They say that when you buy a
dollars worth of sugar you only
get seventy cents worth of sugar,
the other thirty cents being for
the import duty. Or when you
buy a two pound package of sug-
ar you are paying a tribute of
nearly five cents to the sugar
trust. Now, your husband may
argue that this tax goes to sup
port the federal government, so
just suggest to him that over
one-half of the sugar consumed
in the United States is beet sug-
ar and domestic cane sugar, and
as the price of these latter sug-
ars is controlled, not so much by
their costs Of production, as it is
by the price of imported cane
sugar, more than one-half of the
stupendous sum of one hundred
and fifty millions of dollars which
is collected annually from the
consumers Of sugar, goes into
the Golfers of the bent sugar re-
finers. And finally wind up your
little lecture by asking him if he
can afford ID continue to vote for
this kird Of protection protec-
ton that cnriches the millionaire
Hayemcyers, but robs you and
your children.

TOLEDO OFFICERS ASKED
TO DETA|N LYON Girl
She Will Be Brought Back To
Detroit, When Case Will
Be Taken Up

Cora Lyon, the pretty and some
what precocious 14-year-old girl who
disappeared suddenly, Monday after
noon. after having been ordered TO ap
pear In probate court by Judge I;ul,
bert, when he promised to naEle q
guardian for her, Is believed to be in
Toledo. and the juvenile court officers
of that city have been asked to take
her in charge. II is likely she will
be returned to Detroit. when her case
will again be taken up.
Cora has two homes she can go to,
but she now prefers that of her aunt,
Mrs. Horace Roach, OF Toledo. Her
foster father, Charles Lyon, OF Sag
inaw, with whom she has been living
for several years. is fighting to re-
tain her, claiming that he can givo
her as good a home as the Roacbs.
The charge was made in court Mon
day morning that the home In which
the girl had been living for several
months on Congress-st. east, was not
proper place, and after the testi-
mony had been heard Judge Hubert
said he would announce his decision
during the afternoon, and ordered the
girl to be in court. When the parties
were at lunch, Cora suddenly disap-
peared, and il Is generally understood
she fed to Toledo. When Mrs. Roach
was accused OF kidnapping the girl
and sending her to Toledo. she was
very much agitated, and denied hav
Ing anything to do with her disap
