STRIKING
MINERS
Turned Back Non Union Men
As They Were Going
To Work.
TIE UP COMPLETE
And There Is As Yet No Sign
Of a Break In the
Forces Of the
Strikers.
HAZELTON. Penna.. Oct. 3. Strik-
ing miners here this morning turned
back miners who have been working
at Pardee Lattimer and Hollywood
collieries when they started for work.
As a result of this missionary work
the mines mentioned are badly crippled
r.D'1 will soon have to close entirely.
The independent operators of this
district n-e not yet reconciled to the
-onces.ions offered by big comnan'e.?.
I'iCy complain that thev hcvf had
no voire in the making a basj? for
Fcltlement. and they c-nnnot affor.l to
operate their mines upon the basis pro-
Ised by the larger concerns unless
the railroads make concessions to
them.
President Mitchell with his train of
assistants and a corps of correspond-
ents arrived from Wilkesbarre at 10
o'clock. As yet the 10 per cent offer
has not coaxed any of the men back
to the mines. The tie up is as com-
plete as ever and scarcely any coa! is
being shipped out of the anthracite
fields.

vestigation of the public schools here
shows that 87 per cent of the boys and
many girls are addicted to cigarette

CHARGES BRIBERY
A Resident of Peoria Repeats a
Vtrv Unlikely Story Told
Against Bryan.
PORTAGE. Wis. Oct. 3 Bryan and
bis party left Lacrosse at midnight
and arrived nere at 3 o clock this
morning. Mayor Rose of Milwaukee
and gubernatorial candidate Boehm-
rich are traveling with Bryan. They
say the sentiment for Bryan in Wis
consin is increasing.
Watertown is the only democratic
town to be visited by Bryan today.
As in Minnesota he is to speak to a
great extent in republican strongholds.
Bryan this morning branded as a
malicious campaign lie the story sent
out from Peoria last night to the ef
fect that he bad received $150000 from
a syndicate of Colorado mine owners
for forcing the insertion ot the silver
plank in the Kansas City platform
The story about the bribe referred to
above is as follows; Cyrus M. King
man. of Peoria. Illinois says a young
woman acquaintance of his who had
also long been an intimate friend of
the Bryans. is his authority for the
charges. This young woman whose
name he refuses to reveal but whose
home is in Jacksonville. 111. visited at
Bryan's home in Lincoln for one month
this summer and left the city the day
the democratic convention convenea in
Kansas City.
She asserts says Kingman that rep-
resentatives of silver interests of Col-
oradox offered Bryan SlaO.000 if he
would refuse to accept any nomination
on any other than a free silver plat-
form. She further asserts that Mr.
Bryan accepted the offer.
When Bryan was asked about the
charge he said:
"It is hardly worth while to deny
... - i "
the charges of a man who hides be-
hind a woman whose name he will not
give but in order that the most un-
scrupulous republican may have no
reason for repeating the charge I will
say it is absolutely false in every par-
ticular. No one ever oifered. promised
or gave me that sum or any other I
Mim for urging that that plank or any
other-plank be inserted in the Kansas j
City platform or any other platform.
"I do not know anything of Mr. I
Kingman but the papers say he is a I
cousin of Senator Cullom and I do I
know something of Senator Cullom.
The senator ought to know whether
his cousin is trustworthy and if the
senator will state over his own signa- j
ture that he believes what his cousin
says and is willing to represent him
in an investigation of the charge. I I
will make him a proposition which
will give him an opportunity to pro
duce his evidence."
Bryan in his speech at Portage siid
that all of the crooks in the country
do not steal as much mponey as do I
unjust laws: I believe tne Dig tnier
should wear the same kind of stripes
worn by the little thief he declared. I
CHICAGO. Oct. 3. The story from
Peoria fathered by Cyrus M. King
man to t.ie effect that W. J. Bryan
bad accepted $150000 from Colorado
mine men for forcing the silver dec-
laration into the democratic platform
was shown Senator Hanna today.
"I don't believe It." was his com
ment. "Bryan is a demagogue but he
is not dishonest."

POLITICAL
SMALLTALK
Plenty Of Candidates In the
Field For Democratic
Nomination.
NO OPPOSITION
To the Candidates For Some
Of the Cffices.and Much
Competition For
Others.
I Cmljrman John M. Dean of the detu
I tic county executive committee has
-bout made tin his mind to select
o-.ober 20 as the date for holding
n nriniaries to select delegates for
cnoosng democratic candidates for
I tne varjous offices.
Tne original date agreed upon was
October 13. but owing to the pro-
I tractei illness of one of the candidates
for snerirf the date was postponed at
the solicitation of his friends and by
consnt of other interested parties.
jf tnere s no change in the pres
I ent program exactly seventeen days
I wjn elapse before the primaries are
j neld anj as the time grows shorter
I politics waxes warmer and candidates
for 0fgce rustle more and more.
I n fact the situation may materially
change within the next ten days and
many whose hopes have been brightest
may have them blasted by a few man-
I ipuiations of the men who pull the
I Wire8
jllst at this time there is but little
visible indication of the struggle that
M poiiiK on and although ihe political
schemer is hard at work and the polit-
icaj trickster is getting ready with
hls tricks the public knows little or
nothing of the inside workings of the
varj0us cliques and organizations of
heelers.
s jn the days oi yore the second
wari with its heavy Mexican vote and
it8 vote from the joints will tell the
tale and the man who can tarry the
second feels already that the nomina
tion is his. As a consequence the
tallest hustling will be done and the
most money will be spent in this ward
from now until the day of the pri
maries and it is on this classical pre-
t inct that most of the trades and deals
hinge.
iTobably the office being most eager-
jy saUght is that of sheriff. Two men
ot experience in the conduct of its
affairs are out for the democratic nom
ination. They are J. II. Boone who
has almost served out his first term
as sheriff and W. J. Ten Eyck for
merly Sheriff Simmons's chief deputy
and a man who has been in the thief
taking business for years. But cus
tom would give Boone a second term.
As an evidence that Ten Eyck wants
no unfair advantage it may be stated
that a week or so ago when erroneous-
ly told that Mr. Boone had suffered a
ril.nno nnrl mieht not be able to
make an uve campaign he express
ed his regret in words that were un
mistakeably sincere and said he want
ed no such advantage over Boone.
As is usual the flgbt for this
office especially Is between the bosses
of the factions and it is easy to guess
which one of the candidates a man
is supporting if you know what fac-
tion he lielongs to.
In the race for the district clerkship
nomination matters are rocking along
alKiut the same as usual and it is
whispered about that both candidates
have a splendid opportunity of com-
bining their strength with some can
didate for sheriff. Both being of
Mexican descent each is supposed to
have a substantial Mexican following
not to. be sneezed at.. Ike Alderete
who Is in this race has just about com
pleted his first term and seeks to sue
eee himself. He is a young man and
learned to handle monev and attend to
business while in'the employ of the
Campbell Real Estate company but
his opiMinent. Jose Kscajeda. grew up
in the district clerk's office and he
knows all about Its workings. These
two candidates are making such a hot
fight against each other that know-
ing ones say that some good railroad
man with the railroad vote at his
' I
could beat them both in the
convention. As to the other offices.
Park Pitman has a cinch for the nom-
ination for c-ounty clerk as he has no

EXHIBIT
In the Chamber Of Com
merce Described In'
Detail.
BEAUTIFUL ORES
Of Gold Silver Copper Lead.
Bismuth Wolfram Tin
Iron and Other
Metals.
Yesterday afternoon C. R. Morehead.
of this city added to the mineral ex-
hibit of the chamber of commerce two
fine specimens of tin ore from the
mine of the Florella Mining company
which is situated about twelve miles
north of this city in the Franklin
mountains. The Florella Mining com-
pany is composed of El Paso citizens
Mr. Morehead being one of them. The
ore is white and black crystals assay
ing from 30 to 60 per cent tin.
The Mineral Exhibit.
By the way. have you been into see
the mineral exhibit? The chamber
would be a good place for you to go
and any leisure hour or two that you
mav hannen to have.. The exhibit
is interesting instructive and beau
tiful and Secretary Russell takes pleas
ure in telling visitors anything they
desire to know concerning the ores
there on exhibition. But there is
not much use of explanations as the
exhibit cases are so arranged that each
specimen is shown to advantage and
every one is labeled with the name of
the kind of ore it is and from what
mine it came. Hence one can easily
get the main facts connected with the
exhibits without asking any questions.
Most of the specimens have the per
cent of their respective ores that they
contain.
Seventy Mines Represented.
Nearly seventy mines are represent
ed by exhibits in the chamber. The
greater part of the specimens are in
two roof shaped glass cases which are
set upon tables in the center of the
room. The tables on which they set
have a shelf down low on the legs on
which the larger specimens are placed.
Besides the three roof shaped cases
there are two square glass cases. One
of these sets on the floor and the
other an upright square one now rests
on a box against the west wall but
this one is intended for an out door
case and will be set on a pedestal at
the end of the alley leading from the
door of the chambe rto the sidewalk.
This case will be shelved and will con
tain a small sample from each mine
represented in the exhibit.
White Oaks Coal.
The first thing that attracts the eye
of the visitor to the chamber is the
coal exhibit from the Old Abe coal
mine at White Oaks. This consists of
two large dumps of coal weighing
about a ton and a half each five
feet and a half high and two feet
square. Major Davis says ne saw an
ash heap where the ashes from this
coal had been dumped for fifteen years
and there were no clinkers in the
heap. He inquired into the matter and
firemen who had been using it for
years in different kinds of furnaces
say that they hare never been troubled J
. . . .. .. j
with clinkers and they have never used
coal. These specimens were taken
