Kills Two Wildcats.

Charles A. Myers, a fagman on the
Pennsylvania railroad, killed two wild
cats with a club he was carrying.
Myers was Tagging the rear of his
train on the Columbia and Port De-
post railroad at Haines station when
attacked by the animals. The train
had stopped near strip of woods and
the wildcats, half-grown ones, attacked
so suddenly Myers had scarcely time
to defend himself. He came out OF
the battle with his face scratched
and his clothes torn to shreds.

Albert Williamson, of the Flori-

United States marshal furnished by
Lakeland to the national govern
ment for the Southern district OF
Florida and has a good opinion OF
him thus expressed:
"The Brown we are telling you
about is the Hon. j. C. Brown of

and one of the representatives from
Polk county in the last Legislature
He is our United States marshal.
If he makes as good marshal as he
has a legislator, we shall have no
fault to find. He is bright, courag-

there were many good men as appli-
cants for the position, we doubt II
a better selection could have been

The Florida railroad commission
is now wrestling with the question
of requiring the railroads to furnish
free of cost individual drinking cups
to the patrons of the various lines In
this State. The roads protest
against being compelled to provide
them, and the experience of the At
lantic Coast Line in that respect
does not encourage the gratuity. The
passengers wantonly destroy the pa

inconceivable that any self-respeet-

EXPECT TO SETTLE
PAPER MEMS STRIKE
Indications at Sank Rapids and
Little Falls Point to Early
Adjustment of Trouble.

sAUK RAPIDS, Sept. c5.-It
looks are if the strike of the paper
makers for the eight hour day, which
was inaugurated May 20, is nearing a
settlement.
The companies have spent thou
sands Of dollars to defeat the strike,
but they have dismally failed in Sank
Rapids and Little Falls, and this is
more evident now than at any time
during the long struggle. Not u
member Of the union has to date de-
serted the ranks.
All the strike breakers employed at
the Watab mill here deserted the COM
pany yesterday; except one. The
eight hour day was the sole issue.
The company is now offering jobs on
the eight hour basis, but the men
will not return as individuals. They
demand that terms be made through
their union.
The strike. breaking agency which
has had charge of the strike is said
to be after a renewal of its contract
with the company, but it has thus far
tailed. and this fact indicates that
the strike will soon be adjusted. It
is believed that the right person can
now pave the way for a settlement.

SUPERIOR PREPARES

Duluth can not have "a monopoly

able mention. Mr.. Darrow will speak
in Superior at the Grand Opera house
Sunday evening, Sept. %. and the
hottest rivalry is taking place between
the Duluth and Superior workingmen
to see which city shall have the
larger audience.
The Superior committee is exceed
ingly active. Every union in town is
being visited, the merchants are being
solicited and professional men are
being. urged to attend the lecture. A
well known Superior lawyer whose
fame extends beyond the borders of
Wisconsin says of Mr.. barrow:

fession, be he lawyer or judge, should

him for a-Agreat many years. He is
unquestionably the greatest trial
lawyer in America. 7 have seen him
sway .prejudiced jury and bend it
IN his favor when every other person
IN the court room believed barrow
to have lost. And after the verdict.
the jurors with tears streaming down
their faces, would grasp the great
lawyer by the hand and tell him how
he made them see the light whero
everything seemed different before.
Mr.. Darrow is at his best in
labor fight. He knows more about
injunction law than most lawyers. He
contributed more to abrogating certain
rules of negligence in master and SER
want cases before federal courts than
any man in America. The better
part of is life has been devoted to
the advancement of mankind. I

MINNEAPOLIS MEAT
CUTTERS ORGANIZE
Former Duluth Man After Long
Fight Succeeds in Form
ing Union.

Local but hers were this week
notified that the Minneapolis meat
cutters have again organized into a
union. c. B. Uncapher, once prom
inently identified with the Duluth
labor movement, and now resident
of Minneapolis was the moving spirit
in the formation Of the new Flour
City union. He was assisted by Presi-
dent Hart of the International union.
When Mr.. Uncapher left Duluth
for Minneapolis he found no union Of
butchers or meat cutters in that city.
He was too good a union man to
drop his membership. so he de-
posted his card in the st. Paul local
union. He attended every meeting
in spite of the fact. that he was
obliged to ride "a miles on a street
car to and from his home. He was
subsequently honored by the st. Paul
butchers with the presidency of the
union, from which position he re-
signed to become a member of the
new Minneapolis organization.
Fraternal delegates have been elect
ed by the Twin Cities; unions, and the
best of feeling prevails. The new
local union is almost 100 per cent
strong. -:

LOCAL PAINTERS LIKE
THEIR BUSINESS AGENT

Edward Anderson, the popular
business agent of the local painters
union, was last Tuesday evening given
two months extension in his employ

it has cost the Organization for his
employment.
The painters union is now almost
100 per cent strong. Every good
painter in the city is member; all
are employed, and the trade was
never so prosperous. The union re-

ployment was almost unanimous.
The union will give a smoker at
its meeting to. be held at Kalamazoo
