MISCONCEPTIONS OF RELftTIONS.
Mitchell Talks To Five Thousand
Miners, Making a Plea For
Conservatism.
HE IS AGAINST SOCIALISM.
Min* Ownm Think They Own The
Men and Miner* Think that they
Own The Mine*.
Pittsburg, Kan., July 13- John
Mitchell addressed fully 5,000 miners
and others at Forest Parle. Seats for
three thousand had been laid in the
grove and hundreds who were unable
to secure seats, surged at the edge of
the crowd for a glimpse of the great
miners’ leader. Mitchell’s address was
a plea to ilie miners of the southwest
to be conservative,
lie said:
“It is charged that trades unionism
depends ou exercise of physical force
or lawlessness and acts of violence to
malcc itscanse successful. If I believed
this I would abondon the union forth-
with. I am a better American than I
am a trades unionist, lint I don t be-
lieve it,
“There are many misconceptions of
the relations between capital and la-
bor. Some men who own mines think
they own the tneu too, and some men
who work in mines think they own the
mines. Both are wrong. The opera-
tor and mine owner have rights that
must be respected.”
Mr. Mitchell declared against Social-
ism, saying the only movement which
would benefit the wage-worker was
the trades union movement and not a
Utopian dreum.
The parade and demonstration at
noon was the greatest ever hold in the
southwest. Ten thousand minors
mu relied in the parade, which was over
two miles long. Ten bands wore in
the line of March. The parade was
reviewed by Mr. Mitchell.
A conservative estimate is that 30,000
visitors were in Pittsbug during the
day.
The coal operators who are also in
session here appointed an executive
committee to look after affairs.
Among the distinctively American
topics discussed in the Review or Rk-
vuews for July are ‘’The Erie Canal—
Ite Past and Future,” by W. M. Wil-
ner; “Forest Fires in the United
States,” by H. M. Huter; “The Recent
Floods of the Middle West,” by Charles
M. Harger, and ‘ “Welfare Work ’ in
a Great Industrial Plant,” by John R.
Commons. These subjects are all
timely, and their treatment by the
several writers is fresh and suggestive.
In His romance of the old West, “The
Lions of the Lord,” Mr. Wilson, whose
“The Spenders" is one of the successes
of the present year, shows an advance
in strength and grasp both In art and
life. It is a thrilling tale of the Mor-
mon settlement of Salt Lake City,
with all its grotesque comedy, grim
tragedy and import to American civil-
ization. “It cost me my day yester-
day,” wrote Mark Twain to the au-
thor, “You owe me 5400. Hut never
mind, I forgive you for the book’s
sake.” (Published by the I.othropCo.,
Boston.)

RECOVERY POSSIBLE.
Though HU Strength It Due to Constant
Use of Powerful Stimulant*.
Rome, July 14.—It is reported that
the doctor omitted to state that
the action of the kidneys had improved
wishing Ljforo making this announce
meat to have more positive evidence of
the fact. In the papal antechamber
Dr. Lapponi said: “This is the first
night that it can be said that there is
real amelioration of the patient’s heart
trouble. That organ is getting strong-
er and the possibility of Pope Leo’s re-
covery is not excluded.'’
Cardinal Satolli is quoted as saying:
“Although ins mind is perfectly clear
aud wonderfully vigorous, the pontiff’s-
outward evidence of strength is decep-
tive, and is in reality due to the unre-
mitting use of powerful stimulants,
chiefly caffeine; indeed, the constant
administration of stimulants practically
sustains his strength. This is due in
part to the sensitiveness of the holy
father's nerves, which almost instantly
respond to artificial stimulants, ar.d at
the same time immediately collapse
after these Btimnlants are withdrawn.
Sealed Bid* For Allotment*.
Washington, July 13. — Hereafter
when an Indian of the Creek nation
desires to dispose of that portion of the
allotment which the government per-
mits him to sell, he will notify the
representative of the department, who
will advertise the land for sale. Sealed
I bids only will be received. With the
bids there must be a certified check for
20 per cent of the bid and if the bid-
ders refuse to take the laud after his
bid is accepted he forfeits the check.
Also, accompanying the bids will be a
scaled valuatian of the lnnd made by
a government expert and if the highest
bid is not as high as the valuation then
all the bids will be rejected.
While the obligations rest upon the
buyer to take the land if his bid is ac-
cepted, the Indian has the right to re-
fuse to sell if the highest bid is not as
much as he thinks the land is worth.
140 pages, while the average ten cent
magazines run 96. The extra pages
carry many popular features. This
number has TnE cover of the year, ex-
celling, out of sight. The great dailies
appreciate Everybody’s, as shown in
the New York Sun by an extended re-
view and the reprinting of several ex-
tracts from the June number. The
New York American, also, gives costly
apace for an extended writeup of that
number.
Muskogee, I. T., July 11.-Indian
Territory l», or should be, primarily a
farming country, and the only way in
which permanent prosperity for it can
be assured is by the development of
tiie rich farming lands which it con-
tains. There arc thousands of people
ready and waiting to undertake this
task. They have already been waiting
for months, and, in fact, for years,
and now comes the announcement
from Washington that no more deeds
and leases will be received, which
means the indefinite suspension of the
work by which the alienation of lands
especially in the Creek nation, was to
be made possible.
As soon as the forms of deeds were
received, the deeds began to come in in
considerable numbers, accompanied, of
course, by the required certified checks.
As early as January they began to
come, but the prospective purchasers
are still waiting: So far as any one
here is able to discover -not a deed lias
vet been approved by the secretary of
the interior. Only one deed lias ever
been returned by the secretary, and
that was rejected.
It is stated on reliable authority that ■
at least 450 deeds have been turned
into the office of the Indian agent
The consideration will average 51,000
to each deed, which means 5450,000 •
that .lias already been tied up for
months, some of it since early in Jan-
uary, aud which will apparently be in
the same shape for many months
longer.
Tiie reason given for all the numer-
ous delays is the protection of. the
Indian. There ure undoubtedly some
of the Indians who are unversed in
business methods, and who need much
assistance as is provided for them. But
there urc very many who are as capa-
ble business men as are to be found
among tlieir white neighbors in the
territory, and they are anxious to have
things started off, but tiie paternal
care of tiie government will not allow
them any more freedom than is given
to their untutored fellow-tribesmen.
Chauncey Thomas has written many
good stories for McClure’s but hone
better than the one in the current
number, “Ruggles’ Firat Case.” Rug-
gles is a young lawyer in Denver, brief-
less and almost breadless. His first
elient is a trusting young Englishman
who has just parted with his last penny
to a Yankee syndicate In exchange for
a salted mine. Ruggles takes his case
and forces a settlement but by a pro-
cedure considerably more strenuous
than the ordinary processes of law. A
good story of a good bluff never fails
to appeal. _
Working Torn Ryan Bard.
Washington, July 11.—Assistant
Secretary Ryan, of the interior depart-
ment, in addition to his appointment
as commissioner for the Alaska exhibit
at the Louisiana Purchase exposition
has been appointed to serve in a like
capacity for Indiau Territory.
judge Ryan says he will continue
the services of F. C. Hubbard, who
was selected by tiie people of the terri
tory and will make him executive com
missioncr. While Mr. Ryan will have
general supervision in connection with
the exhibit, he will rely largely upon
Hubbard to work out the details.
Tax Foreclosure Act Valid.
Topeka, July 14.-In a case from
Atchison county the supreme court in
a decision given holds that the tax
foreclosure act of 1901 is good. 1 his
act permits counties to foreclose on all
real estate that may be delinquent in
taxes three and one-fourth years and
sell the same to the highest bidder.
Report TVu Ml*leadln(.
Wasnington, July 14.—ihe statement
of tiie potato crop made in the mouthly

partment, when it sold to a Kansas

wherever it may be found.

and Stripes are an evolution? Who
knows how the flag adopted in 1777
and the flag carried in the Mexican
War differed? Who knows in what

erns the flag honored and loved to-day

ries and for the number of its illustra-
tions. There is a long list of distin-
guished contributors.

Common Mam ”
Devastation And Bull*.
Jeanette, Pa., July 9.-Dawu broke
on a scene of. devastation and ruin
along the Brush creek valley. From
the sight of the break of the dam at
Oakford Park to Mllmerding, taking
in the towns of Jeanette, Peon, Lari-
mer, Grecnsburg, Irwin, Burrell aud
Mauo, the awful power of the rushing
waters following the breaking of the
dam is apparent on both sides.

less that 5700,000, while the number of
lives blotted out is still uncertain, the
estimates miming all the way from 50
to 150. ____

are planning for a junket to the north-
ern lakes. The Burlington road has
offered them a special car free of
