SCRANTON, PA., OCT. 18.—Repre
sentatives of nearly all the big coal
companies of the region conferre
here today and made an agreement t-
amend the notices already pos- ed by
attaching the following:
"In further explanation of the above
notice, this company desires to say
tha It Is the Intention to pay the ad-
vance In wages above* noted until
April 1, 1901, and thereafter until fur-
ther notice."
Tho following statement was issued
to the press:
"The representatives of the larger
coal companies after their meeting to-
day stated In reply to Inquiries, that
they had offered their men -a ten per
cent advance as indicated by the
notices they had posted, that this
notice specially stated that the re-
ducion of powder from $2.75 to $1.;>0
•would be considered in arriving at the
wages of their contract miners. It
was expected when the notices were
posted that the offer was to stand un-
til April 1, and indefinitely thereafter
but In as much as there serins to be
some misunderstanding in It he mat-
ter. they had agreed to add to their
notice a clause to the effect that it
Is their intention to pay the advance j
in wages until April 1, 1901. and there-
after until further notice."

PARKERSBURG, W. VA., OCT. 18.—
Governor Roosevelt will finish his gen-
eral campaign at Baltimore tomorrow
night having traveled nearly 19,00) miles
and after making nearly 60U speeches.
He will spend tho final week of the cam-
paign in New York state. The Boston
visit has been eliminated, and If
possible Governor Roosevelt will spend
next Sunday with his familly at Albany.
Today's work began at Canton, Ohio,
the homo of McKiniey., After a hard
day's campaigning through Ohio and
West Virginia Governor Roosevelt
reached Parkersburg, tonight and ad-
dressed a large audience, paying special
attention tu Senator Jones' jdenlal that
the American 8otton company Is a trust.
The rough rider produced a statement
of the company and argued that its own
figures, prospectus and plan of procecd-
ure entitle^ it to the name of trust. He
said that in floating its stocks the Am-
erican cotton company had boasted of
its inability to control the price of cot-
ton, and entered the market with the ex-
pressed Intention of cornering the crop
and mastering the market. To this end
after the^ established mehods of trusts,
the American Cotton company, he said,
bought and gained control of three small-
er factories having patents which enab-
led them to make the roundlap bale of
cotton. Roosevelt accused the Cotton
bale trust of first securing lower freight
rates and .s< curing foreign markets.
From Wheeling, West Virginia, the
run was down the Ohio river and stops
were made at Benwood, Moundvflle, New
Martinsville, Slstersville, St. Marys and
Waverly. The two first named are in
Marshal county, which is strongly repub-
! lican. A Moundvllle Governor Roosevelt
I was handed a copy of the same circular
j which created such a sensation In the
West a few days ago, in which ho is ac-
credited with some severe remarks about
what should happen to strikers, etc.
These circulars had been liberally cir-
culated In this part of the state. Gov-
ernor Roosevelt denied that he had ever
at any time said any work which might
be construed into anything like what
was printed in the circular, and he said
that the man who got it up knew he was
lying •
A stop of thirty minutes was made at
Slstersville. the center of a comparatively
new oil region. Many working men were
present, a fact noted by Colonel Roose-
velt, for he spent most of the ten min-
utes discussing trust questions.
Few people had gathered at \\ averly
! and tho stop was brief.
I Tho demonstration at Parkersburg is
conceded t« be the bigg -st political gath-
I (ring In tho history of tho state. Pre-
! ceding two meetings there was a big
parade, partlclpat- d In bv marching clubs
and a Hough Rider escort to Governor
Roosevelt and oth'T dlgnltari

Woodsocket. S. T>. OCT ft.—Howarfl,
the county scat of Minor county, and
center of a strong populist commun-
ity. was the next stop. The crowd here
was rather small and shouts for Bryan
mingled with the cheers- which greeted
Senator Hanna He urgedV the audi-
ence to forget former party ft filia-
tions and consider the personal inter-
ests of themselves and their tfamilie:
whether the present conditions were
not the best.
Woodsocket turned out a large crowd
to hear the republican leaders, many
farmers with their harvest hands
driving In for twenty miles. At Mlteh
eli, the county seat of Davidson coun-
ty, the largest crowd had y.ithered
since Senator Hanna had, spoke at
(Madison. Wis. The meeting was made
a gala day In Mitchel1. and excursion
trains from points within fifty miles
brought in large numbers of outs ders,
Here Senator Hanna made an emphat-
ic denial of the reports concerning
Governor Roosevelt's recent trip
through the west. He said:
"I am sorry that those who are
leading the opposition have eo far for-
gotten the dignity which surrounds
the high office of the presidency of
this great nation as to descend as Mr.
Bryan has. into personal abuse. I
say that it is small appreciation of
the high office to which he aspires,
to descend to public lying for Ihe ros-
trum every day. Why. my friends,
when Governor Roosevelt was in your
state, that young champion cf liberty
honesty and good government, a man
who has displayed his courage upon
the battlefield, a man through 4fll h s
public life has beevi devoted to the
highest principles of 'reform In gov-
ernment. a man whose chief eharac er-
istics are known everwhere his name
is- known, to be Integrity and ability*
Some of the slanderous speakers of
this state Insulted you by saying that
Governor Roosevelt was intoxicated
while in South Dakota."
At Alexandria and Bridgewater
small crowds or farmers were briefly
addressed. At Parker, where the train
stopped for twenty minutes, a brass
hand and salute from a e-mail cannon
greeted th° speakers.
Here Senator Hanna had some fun
with his audience. ' Hay." b \. <d a
farmer in the audience, "Mr. Hanna if
you havn't got horns, why Is It you
ran rip the democratic and populis:
parties up the hack so?"
Amid tho aughter that followed, Mr.
Hanna replied:
"Well, I don't know The only ans-
wer I guess Is tha' T n'wnvs tell the
truth and the people believe."
Handshaking folowed th speech,
and Mr. Hanna had to fairly fight hl
wuy to the train.

waved flags shouting "hurrah for

of it Is available for the plow. Tho

Four thousand Odd Fellows In Oklaho-
ma is certainly an enviable record for
any organization lo make In eleven years'
time in a new territory. But such is
their record and coupled with It are the
facts that there are seven hundred Re-
bekahs in the territory and In all com-
bined there aro seventy-one lodges.,
' The first J. O. O. F. lodge in Oklahoma
was organized at Norman, the second at
Oklahoma City and the third in the cap
Ital cily. In this city the lodge organ-
ized in a theatre tent, ten days after the
opening, with twenty-one members, ev-
ery on of whom has slnco become a
past grand representative. The story of
the whys and wherefores of the organiz-
ation is very interesting.
While hunting irva grove of black jacks
a homesteader named Lee was mistaken
for an antelope and killed by his hunt-
ing companion. Tho body was brought
into Guthrie and upon Investigation an
I. O. O. F .< harm was found on the In-
side of his coat. This Interested broth-
er Odd Fellows and a meeting was held
to make some provision for the funeral.
Twenty-one men assembled In the thea-
tre tent In answer to the hand bills an-
nouncing the matter and as a result a
collection was taken up and the body wsus
shipped to Loo's former home in Dodge
City. Kansas. The twenty-one attended
the funeral here In a body, marching to-
gether along the streets..
Immediately after the funeral the

representative, guarded the entrance
with a Winchester rifle so that no "bar-
barian"' could hear tho sec rets. The
minutes of the meeting wero recorded
in the Daily State Capital of that day.
At the first meeting of the new lodge,
trustees were selected to look after the
Interests of Lee's homestead. He was
a widower with two small children,
neither of whom are yet of age. Tho

and each of tho daughters now has a

John M. Stevenson opened the argu-
ment for the defense. He said the test-
imony in the case did not even show
circumstantial evidence sufficient to con-
vince, but the most that could said was
that, some suspicious circumstances ex-
l&ted i to You tBey. He said he thought
the Jury believed John Ricke<ts was a

that was the only way to describe him.
He s.iid tho same thing about Culton

that even admitting thaf it was true,
then Youtsey had lied for Berry How-
