Haddon, Pa., Oct. 25.—President Mitchell's statement in his speech at Pottsville that he believed the strike would be ended by next Monday if all operators posted notices guaranteeing the 10 per cent advance until April 1 was received here with much pleasure by the mine workers and the mine officials. It is believed that nothing will now intervene to delay the ending of the contest which has run more than five weeks. President Mitchell was asked on his arrival from Pottsville on what he based his belief that the strike would and this week, but he declined to say anything other than that the position of the miners was so fair that he could see his own reason why the operators should not incumbent. President Mitchell declined to say what course would be pursued if one or more companies refused to guarantee the payment of the increase until shell. A meeting of the national executive board of the United Mine Workers of America, and the officers of the three automatic districts will be held here today for the purpose Mr. Mitchell says of thoroughly canvassing the situation. He would not say whether the conference would take any positive action leading toward the calling off of the strike. If any action will be taken, he said, it would depend entirely upon what the canvass would show. In answer to another question the later leader said he would not take the responsibility upon himself of calling off the strike, but would rather have the national board vote upon the question. Cars Barton Perhaps Dying. Galveston, Tex., Oct. 26.—Miss Clara Barton lies dangerously ill at her apartments at the Tremont hotel. Her since her arrival in the city, about 5 weeks ago, she has been in health, and at intervals, upon the advice of her physician, was compelled to remain indoors. Miss Barton's illness is the result of workworm. Nervous prostration is the physician's diagnosis. The members of the Red Cross entered with Miss Barton in the Galveston relief work are alarmed at her condition. Robson's Loving Cup. Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 23.—Ten horses and Alabamaans greeted General Wheeler and Lieutenant Hobson in Montgomery, when General Wheeler presented a loving cup to Lieutenant Hobson in behalf of the people of Alabama. The cup is of sterling silver, ten inches in height, on a solid elephant pedestal seven and a half inches high. The handles of the cup are dolphins and on the panels are etched outlines of the recipient, the names of the crew who were with him on the Maritime and an address. No. Joseph, Mo., Oct. 26.—F. M. Hinder, a grading contractor, while at work on an excavation on Horn heights, in this city, discovered a ground that had been used by an ancient people as the burial place for their dead. Several skeletons had found a seating place, but only one was in a state of good preservation. It had been covered to a great depth by beautiful shells, artistically arranged. In this we with pleasure present to you,the name of Hon. Chas, H. Luling,Republican candidate for Representative from this,the 71st representative district. Mr.Luling was born in New York state in 1855,and at the age of one year, moved with his parent to Wisconsin,coming to Kansas in 1879,locating in this city,where he has since remained. He is by profession a printer In 1888 he was elected Clerk of the District court by over 2000 majority. He filled this position with great credit to himself and honor to his constituency. He is at present a member of the city council; and has always been a warm, friend and earnest supporter of the Colored people and their interests. As a member of the city council he secured an appropriation for the Colored children's Orphan home, after it had been repeat edily defeated in other councils. His friendship to the Colored man is not only a matter of local knowledge,but is co-extensive with the state.He has always proven to be a Colored man's friend,and truly has he been a friend indeed. During the time which he has been a member of the council he has succeeded in getting more Colored men positions with the city than any other one man who was ever a member of that august body His record on this line stands as a monument of his unceasing loyalty and devotion to the Colored race. Let every Colored man go to the polls on Nov.6th.1900 and vote for Chas-H.Luling. The Inevitable Inference. Mrs. Brown-Stone—My present husband reminds me so much of my first one. Mrs. Joke-Smith—What's the matter with him? Transvaal Colony Buys Here. London, Oct. 25.—The Cape Town correspondent of the Daily Mail says: Despite all denials, I learn that large orders for coal trucks to be used in Transvaal colony have been placed in the United States at prices, for delivery here, which are 20 per cent below English prices, while the Americans have contracted to deliver in half the time required by the English. The great drawback to English work is delay in delivery while American work is prompt. The Maine to be Removed. The Maine to be removed. Washington, Oct. 26.—The battleship Maine is to be removed from Havana harbor, as it is considered an obstruction to navigation. General Wood saw the secretary of the navy, and, after laying the matter before him in detail, secured the secretary's consent for the removal of the wreck. The work will be undertaken immediately upon Gen. Wood's return to Havana, which will be within the next week. He goes from here to Canton to confer with the president.

The Ladies ara very cordially invited. Kansan's Chief M. B. --- Our Next Probate Judge. We take much pride in presenting to our many readers the name of Hon. Thomas C. Wilson, Republican nominee for Probate Judge. Mr. Wilson was born in Washing ton and came to this city in 1887 ever since which time he has been actively engaged in the practice of his profession of law and during his practice has been engaged in some of the most famous cases ever tried in Sedgwick county, and has to his credit secured one of the largest money judgements ever secured in a court in Kansas. He is one of our most highly respected citizens and holds the esteem of every one who know him, and he is one of the few men, whom all the citizens irrespective of politics can, and does speak well of, at all times. His politics has ever been, that of an earnest,strong,steadfast and active Republican,and was inberited from his father,who was a firm and active Abolishionist,a support er of good old Abraham Lincoln,an uncompromising friend of the Colored people,and one of the chief promoters of that historical Underground railway,which proved a God-send and blessing to so many of our fore-parents in the dark days of slavery. So young Thomas was born an abolishionist,rocked in the cradle of freedom for all men, and nursed upon the bottle of friendship and protection to the Colored people. The lessons taught him in his youth has grown firmer and stronger as the years go by and it is in his support and aid of the Copored people that he shines brighest and is best known. Our people in this city who kuow Mr.Wilson, all testify that they have always foun him to be a warm and true friend. Go to the polls on Nov.6th.1900 and vote for Thos.C.Wilson. Read The Searchlight! "Experience," says Bryan, "has taught me that the life of a soldier is a dangerous one." In explanation of this statement it may be said that while Col.Bryan was camped in Florida he ate an unripe watermelon and suffered an attack colic. I. W. Gill.

It is a line of reflection, however, that will injure rather than help Mr. Bryan's cause. The Republican leaders have every reason to encourage general consideration of the questions of prudence and safety as applied to the coming election. Much might be said in this campaign to the young man in particular, but taking his situation and prospects as a text is not so much to direct him as to impress those who are solicitous for his welfare and who may be expected to have better judgement as to his interest than he himself has at this ttme. It is merely one way of looking into the future to consider whether the the political and social tendencies are such as he may be expected to conduce to the welfare and happiness of the young man when he shall have reached the more re sdomsible period of life. The financial,industrial,and economical issues of the present campaign have been very thoroughly discussed.Comparatively little additional light will be thrown upon them between now and election day.All of those issues are of high importance in tee present campaign They are all important and vital. When the people make serious mistakes on these issue they suffer quickly and keenly.Yet they hold the power to correct their mistake. The territorial issues in the present campaign does not differ essen --- 10.22 CHILDREN'S UNION SUITS all cotton ribbed heavy fleece Union suits in gray and cream, per suit 25c Ladies Union Suits.

But, in the present campaign, even more than in that of 1896, there are certain tendencies in public temper that demand earnest attention. These tenbencies are still confined to the minority, but they are evident enough to raise a warning to those who are solicitous of the future of "Thg Young Man." The importance of these unexpressed issues may not be so immediate as that of certain official planks, but their importance is vital and far reaching. No one knows how soon these issues may become both immediate and official. To take up the case of "The Young Man." Is he safe when a man who invites and obtains the support of radicals, alarmist, misanthropes, visionaries and fanatics of all classes is made the presidential nominee of one of the great contesting parties of the nation? Is he safe when such a man, with following and such an endorsement, boldly assails the most sacred institutions of the government impugning the honor of the courts, slandering the soldiers in the field, aspersing the flag of the nation, and even encouraging the enemies of his country? Is he safe when such a man, through the arts of sophisiry, the power of oratory and appeals to passion, kindles and fans hostile sentiments between classes that should co operate harmoniously? Is he safe when such a man by silence; gives open consent to the acts of violence, maltreatment and disfranchisement of thousands of American citizens? In the shadow of such a possibility "The Young Man" of to day is in danger. This danger can only be passed by the vigorous repudiation of Bryanism. “FICIAL OrRGANoftheKNIGHTSOF PyYTHIAS| ___.

MY HALF SISTER CHAPTER III.—(Continued.) own frank, plain face looked very grave, as she picked up her wools, “Madame is a clever woman,” she ar- ‘gued to herself. “Henri ie under her ‘thumb—that is, he always seems to be afraid of her; and Mollie is inex- ‘perlenced and impetuous. It is little ‘More than a fortnight since she re- ‘turned. Can Reggie mind already— Reggie, who does not care for girls?” But personal experience, in connec- tion with the navai lieutenant to whom she was engaged, called loudly that a fortnight might make or mar a life, and she could not disguise from herself that Reggie had shown more interest in beautiful Mollie L’Estrange than he had ever exhibited for any woman—save his motuer and herself —before. A fresh, matter-of-fact girl, of three- and-twenty, Joyce, though fond of Mollie, was inclined to lovk upon her as a child, and did not give her credit for half the sense and observation she possessed, For Mollte had learned a great deal i that past fortninght, though Res- gie had not elways been her teacher. She lenew that the good country people round, who had been her parents’ friends, while wishful to be pleasant to herself, looked askance at Madame Dubois, whose great object in life was to get into the charmed circle of their acquaintance, With this end she would drag the reluctant girl to any social gathering where she might meet them, and endeavor to force herself upon them until poor Mollie was bit- terly ashamed of her; while her smothered exultation when Mrs. An- struther did violence to her feelings by a stiff call showed Mollie more than words would have done how the resi- dents of Chalfont House were regard- ed in Reverton, Kate was a great trial to her sister; she was delicate, nervous and excit- able to a degree; and, as her aunt aever checked her, she was almost un- bearable. All Mollie's efforts at friend- ship she regarded with suspicion, as made to the heiress of Chalfont, and she fiew into a rage it her sister tried to reason with her, or attempted to take the part of the unfortunate daily governess who for a couple of hours each morning endeavored to teach her. Mollie was very forbearing with her, trying never to forget that she "was the baby whom she had seen in cher mother’s arms. But she was firm also, declining to be driven about, or stand any rudeness; and Kate, finding her tempers disregarded, her imperi- ous airs laughed at, began to treat her alster with sullen respect. Mollie was thinking of Kate after Reggie had left her at the gate, and she walked briskly up the graveled path, swinging her empty basket. She fad promised come flowors for the church on Sunday, and wanted them also for wreaths for her parents’ graves. Should she take them boldly from Chalfont, and incur her sister's wrath, or should she order them else- where? It seemed a shame that her mother’s wreath should not be from the place she loved eo well; and yet she could not bear that anything for her should be wrangled over. ‘There used to be a great clump of narcissi growing almost wild in a shady corner beside some laurels at the far side of the house. If Mr, Bar- lowe’s vandal hand had spared them, she might surely have some from there; and, intent on finding out, she never paused until she suddenly found herself nearly opposite the window of that fatal study where her stepfather had met his death by an unknown hand nearly twelve months previously. Since her return she had carefully avoided this spot; it had a nameless terror, yet fascination for her. Mr: Barlowe’s name was rarely mentione¢ in the house; no servant would go past the study door alone after dark. I was not only madame’s hard and meat rule that caused rarely a week to pas: without some of them leaving—they frightened each other; tales of thing: seen and heard were rife among them and ft must be owned that Mollie wa: not proof against the general whisper. tng, the unspoken fear, that seemed tc hang over the place, especially afte dark. Bhe was half inclined to turn back now, even though the sun was shining and a -shote colony of rooks cawing noisily in the tall trees farther on Round this very path the assassin mes have stolen that bitter March nigh! after he had done the deed, leaving the window wide open; and ——. Why the window wus open now! Voice fell upon her ears. No one ever en: tered that_room but Madame Dubois though it was unlocked. Who could i de? ‘Taking an impetuous step forward her eyes fell on madame herself,stand ing ereet with one hand on the table ‘Saha Gray Moseted: Gnd <eedin. iden te their heavy brows with a strange wild gleam; while her voice,harsh and high, came clearly towards Mollie. “Are there no other apartments in the house but that you must come here —here—here?” she screamed. “Why do you torture me like this? Have I not engugh to bear for you? Ah, me! How many mothers would have done as much?” | “Calm yourself, mother,” cried a thin, reedy voice. “I had merely a fancy to view the chamber where my so tender-hearted relative shuffled off ts mortal coil last Easter Sunday. Where is the harm?” | “No, no, my beloved!” she answered, in a gasping voice, evidently struggling hard to recover her self-command; “but coming in suddenly and seeing a -™man—so near the time——" And she clasped her hands as a visible tremor [shook her from head to foot, “Every one was out; 1 wanted amus- ing,” he said. “How dusty the place 4s, Why not use tre room?” “Impossible!” panted she. “How can Yoo expect it, Henri—you, who saw s have it cleaned sometimes, but no one will do it alone, nor will they come near it until after Sunday.” | “My uncle seems as much loved in death as in life” And there was a fine sneer in the young man’s voice, “Now, why did you send for me im such @ hurry, mother? I was having a good ‘time in Paris—music, pretty girls!— and then you insist that I must return ‘to this dull hoie. "Tis absolutely cruel!” __ “You have no thought for your own interests. You are incorrigible!” she ‘cried angrily. “I told you the reason Plainly enough; and you spend so much money, the sooner you fall in with my intentions the better for you; then your future is assured.” “So you have dragged me away from a thousand engagements and pleasures just for this!” Mollie heard him ex- plain grumblingly. “What is she?” “Oh, Henri, my adored!” cried Ma- dame Dubois, her voice vibrating with intense feeling, her eyes fixed with deep, passionate love on the other un- seen occupant of the room; “I feel that at this time I must have yoit with me— that I must see you—to feel that my sacrifices have not been in vain—that ‘through them you are prosperous. Is it nothing to you to be with your mother?” | What reply the son made Mollie did not hear, for, recovering from her as- tonishment, she stole quietly away, thankful that madame’s keen glance had not fallen upon her. That Mon- sieur Henri Dubois had arrived before he was expected—that he had come, not because he loved his home and wished to make her acquaintance, as madame had repeatedly declared, but because she had sent him an impera- tive summons—was clear; but why had she done s0? Nor could Mollie, having seen the mother's hard face, softened and beautiful with feeling, doubt that this invisible son, with the thin, sneering voice, was the passion of her life, the being for whom she would go through fire and water, CHAPTER Tv It was with conflicting feelings that Mollie brushed out her sunny hair be- fore luncheon, staring absently the while into the glass with a perplexed frown. ‘They were strange people, these Du- bois, and she uneasily felt that she could not fathom them. Henri’s cynical tone she considered ‘unfeeling, for Leonard Barlowe had been his uncle after all; while madame jnever showed the least respect for her dead brother, though any allusion to ‘bim would visibly upset her self-eon- | trol. And Mollie shrewdly guessed that the extravagant affection she heaped on Kate was but on the surface. Evidently madame had sent for her son, and there was a “she” in the case —¢id they mean Kate? Already Mollie had not a very high idea of their probity, and wondered how much power they had over the child’s fortune, ( But she did not think of herself at the moment, except to be glad that she was no relation of theirs. And then her thoughts drifted off to Reggie, and there was a smile on her face as she flung open the door, nearly running over Kate, who was advancing conse- quentially down the corridor, a huge box of distinctly Parisian bonbons in her arms. “I shall not give you one because you would not take me to get moss,” she said, with solemn spitefulness, as she displayed them. “You should have gone with pleas- ure had you asked nicely,” returned Mollie, unruffied. “But I will not take you anywhere when you are unpleas- ant.” And before the irate mistress of the house could find anything bitter enough for her poor little tongue to utter, the elder girl had passed her and, descending the stairs, entered the dining room, where Madame Dubois and her son were standing by the fire. There they stood, these aliens and strangers, giving themselves all the airs of proprietorship in the house that ought to have been quite as muct her's as Kate's.

Now, brethren, ask yourself the question. Am I doing right in neglecting to pay my endowment within the quarter for which it is called? Of course the answer would be, no! So why not reform at once along this line and from now on, while you live and remain a member of this organization, pay up promptly and save your M. of F. anxiety; for it of ten causes the heart ache to enter a suspension and many M of F would advance the money for you but they have all they can do to attend their own financial affairs.

Price 50c BOER PERSEVERANCE AND BRAVERY EXPLAINED BY PROF. LOMBROSO. He says Their Blood Is Richer than That of Other Nations—Calls Them a Select People Superior to Europeans—Scientists Startled at Figures. Many theories have been advanced in explanation of the dogged perseverance with which the Boers have carried on their struggle to maintain their independence, and now Professor Cesare Lombroso, the distinguished criminologist, comes forward and assures the world that the one great reason why the Boers are such stubborn fighters is because their blood is richer than that of other nations. His article on the subject appears in Nuova Antologia. According to him, the Boers of today have in them the blood of four nations, namely the Dutch, the French, the Scottish and the German, Dutch blood preponderates, but with it, we are told, is intermingled the precise quantity of French, German and Scotch blood which is needed in order to produce such valliant warriors as the people of the Transvaal. In order to obtain exact knowledge of the point Professor Lombroso made a chemical analysis of Boer blood, and then he compared the results which he had obtained with those obtained by Herr Kuyser, a Dutch scientist who had been working in the same direction. The conclusion at which he has arrived, is that the Boer blood is composed of seventy-eight per cent Dutch blood, twelve per cent of French, twelve per cent of Scotch and three per cent of German. All obtainable statistics, he maintains, point to the correctness of these figures. In conclusion he asks: "Such being the chemical composition of their blood, what is there astonishing in the fact that this mixture of the four best nations of Europe, in a climate which is not evinuring and in which an energetic mode of life is necessary promises to form of the Boers a select people who will prove themselves the bulwark of liberty and civilization and who will be a race superior to all those of Europe?" Scientists attach a good deal of weight to Professor Lombroso's views on a matter of this kind. Nevertheless this article has started a good deal, and for the simple reason that the figures which it contains are, to say the least, bewildering. The Boer blood, says the professor, is composed of four elements. Quite possible, reply the scientists; but how can seventy-eight per cent of Dutch blood, twelve per cent of French, twelve per cent of Scotch and three per cent of German make 100 per cent of Boer blood, for do not these figures, when added together make a total of 105. The misleading figures, it is thought by some, may be due to a typographical blunder, but such does not seem to be the general opinion. "The supposition that there is a mistake in the figures," says a French writer, "is hardly tenable, since statistics are an exact science and a statistician like Lombroso is not likely to make a mistake of this kind. No; the figures themselves, are correct, although the theory based on them may seem highly improbable. They furnish, indeed, as they stand at present, an additional argument in favor of Lombroso's theory that the surprising valor of the Boers is due to their blood, since it can readily be seen that a nation ought to be unusually brave whose blood is above par and is rated at 105 per cent." A plausible explanation of the puzzling figures is that the seventy-eight ought to be seventy-three. The Boers in this case would have five per cent less of Dutch blood than Lombrosso assigns to them; yet by this simple change they would be freed from the charge of being abnormal, which is now brought against them by certain phutilistines, who maintain that those persons cannot be normal human beings the elements of whose blood exceed 100 per cent. Fighting Seals with Dynamite. The seals and sea lions which infest the mouth of the Columbia river have created such havoc among the salmon fisheries that a crusade with dynamite is soon to be begun against them. The animals are both shrewd and bold, and it is said that a seal will police a set net with great regularity, and take a bite out of the throat of every salmon it contains. Frequently when a fisherman is taking his net into a boat and is about to gaff a fish which is entangled in the meshes, a seal will rise and bite its throat. The seal herds congregate on a certain sandspit in the mouth of the river, and it is proposed that dynamite mines be bunk in the sand and connected with the mainland by wires. When the animals are ashore the mines will be exploded. Similar plans are laid for the destruction of the sea lions, which do not gather with the seals.—San Francisco Chronicle.

That drunkenness and the morphine habit are thoroughly cured by the treatment originated by Dr. Keeley has long since been proven beyond a peradventure. Dr. Keeley's theory that alcohol and narcotic drugs affect the nerve cells in such a manner that the drug finally becomes a necessity to them in order that they may perform their functions, is now generally accepted by the medical profession. The Keeley treatment restores the nerve cells to a healthy condition, in which condition there is no necessity for alcohol or narcotics, and the craving which the patient experienced disappears. The Keeley Institute of Kansas City, Mo., has administered this treatment for nearly ten years, and there are, in nearly every town in the southwest, living examples of the transformations brought about by the Keeley treatment as administered at this Institution. Hundreds of men and women have been placed under treatment as a last resort, their condition having become such that their friends despaired of their recovery, and expected nothing else but that they must soon be confined in an asylum or laid in the grave, and they have, after a few weeks' treatment, been restored to a surprisingly good condition of health, every vestige of the cravings for stimulants gone, and self-respect and self-confidence restored. This Institute has for many years enjoyed the reputation of being one of the best appointed and most successful of the great system of Institutes administering Dr. Keeley's treatment. Its location on the bluff overlooking the union depot is certainly an ideal one. It is convenient to the business center of the city, and at the same time retired and quiet.

Miller, a brother of Roswell P. Miller, chairman of the board of directors of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad company, has been appointed general passenger agent of that system (effective Oct. 15, 1900) to succeed George H. Heafford, recently resigned. The appointment of Mr. Miller to the head of the St. Paul passenger department was not unexpected, as he has been for several years the principal assistant general passenger agent of the company, making his headquarters in the Marquette building. There will be no assistant appointed to succeed Mr. Miller. The two other assistants, Messrs. Marsh and Merrill, will continue in their old positions. General Passenger Agent Miller is widely known in the railway world, and is one of the most popular of passenger officials. He began his railroad career in 1874, and his good nature, character and ability have steadily advanced him in the service of the St. Paul system since 1883, when he entered the company's employ as a clerk in the passenger department, of which he now becomes the head. Mr. Miller was born at Harford, Pa. We are apt to condemn in others what we practice ourselves without scruple.
