OHIO’S REPUBLICANS
Hold State Convention, Name Fall
Ticket and Adopt Platform.
TAKES A SHY AT THE SOUTH
Platform Reaffirms Philadelphia De¬
clarations and Indorses Admin¬
istrations of McKinley
and Nash.
The business of the Ohio republican
convention at Columbus was conelud-
ed in short order Tuesday afternoon.
The convention was in session from
10:10 a. m. to 1:10 p. m., breaking the
state record by completing its work
In three hours. The intense heat was
prostrating and Chairman Hanna not
only cut his own speech, but also those
of others, and then dispatched busi¬
ness with the utmost speed.
In these three hours the convention
nominated a full state ticket, adopted
Its declaration of principles and in¬
dorsed Joseph B. Foraker as the repub¬
lican candidate for re-election as Uni¬
ted States senator. The ticket named
was as fellows:
Governor, George K. Nash; lieuten¬
ant governor, Carl L. Nippert; su¬
preme judge, J. L. Price; attorney
general, John M. Sheets; clerk of the
supreme court, Lawson E. Emerson;
state treasurer, Isaac B. Cameron;
member of board of public works, W.
J. Johnston.
Of the seven nominations only three
were new men and one of these, Nip-
pert, for lieutenant governor, was
nominated without opposition. Nash,
Sheets, Cameron and Johnston were
renominated for second terms without
opposition.
The nomination that caused the most
comment was that of Nippert in place
of Lieutenant Governor Caldwell, the
latter being the only one elected with
Governor Nash two years ago that
was not renominated for a second
term. The State Anti-Saloon League
caused Caldwell to run several thou-
sand behind his ticket in 1899, and had
vigoiously opposed his nomination,
Senator Hanna iras permanent chair¬
man of the convention. He was in-
troduced by Senator Foraker as the
man “who knows his business and how
to attend to it. ’
In assuming the gavel Senator Han-
na said in part:
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: Senator Foraker has
sounded the keynote of this campaign
in that masterful, comprehensive
speech, and as he rides out into the
field of battle with visor closed and
lance at rest he need not look behind
to see who follows. We will be there
to a man. (Great applause). Demo-
cratic party, please take notice,
< Laughter.) The result of the lest two
national campaigns has placed this
country, as the senator told you. upon
a sound financial basis and in the
front rank of the nations of the world.
Me have progressed so rapidly that we
do not fully appreciate the responsibU-
RieS"Which have attended that prog-
The Platform.
The report of the resolutions com-
mlttee which was unanimously adnnf-
ed as the platform of the party in
Ohio reaffirms the Philadelphia plat-
form pledges undivided support to the
republican party unde- the adminlstra-
tion of which the United States has be-
come a world power. Industry has re-
vived, it is set forth, plenty has sue-
ceeded want and our export trade now
leads the world. The gold standard
is endorsed.
The platform denounces southern
legislation for regulating the franchise
in the following language:
“The right of franchise is vouch-
safed to every American citizen by
the federal constitution. We denounce
as no less criminal when committed
by theft than when accomplished with
the shotgun and by ballot box stuffing,
and as antagonistic to the spiruofour
; r tnu, ion, .u a„ T pu «^e W ‘ve o,
their inalienable rights millions of our
fellow citizens in certain states of the
union. Y\e therefore call upon our
senates and representatives in con-
gress xor such legislation as shall se-
cure the strict enforcement of const!-
tutional measures guaranteeing to ev¬
ery citigen the right of franchise, with¬
out distinction as to race, color or
previous condition of servitude, and
we demand that representation in con¬
gress and in the electoral college shall
be based on the actual voting popula¬
tion, as provided in the constitution,
proportionate reduction being made
for any state in which the right of
suffrage is denied, except for crime.”
Presilent McKinley is lauded for the
“prudent and successful management
of American interests in China.”
It is declared that the nation s pledge
to Cuba is being faitlifully kept, in¬
suring freedom and independence to
her people. The Cubans ate congrat¬
ulated upon "wise and conservative ac¬
tion in favor of stable government.”

Big Cities Swelter Under Intense
Heat—Deaths and Prostrations
Reach High Figures.
A New York dispatch says: The re¬
lief from the killing heat of the last
week, which was promised Sunday in
the shape of thunderstorms, did not
materialize.
There was an Increase in the fatili-
ties reported over Saturday, though
the number of simple prostrations was
not so large. Up to midnight nineteen
deaths had been recorded and twenty
prostrations. The deaths Saturday
numbered eleven.
According to a special from Pitts¬
burg, Pa., between midnight Saturday
and midnight Sunday eleven deaths
and fifteen prostrations directly trace-
able to the heat were recorded in that
city. In addition to this many chil
dren have succumbed, as is evidenced
by the burial permits issued. In eight¬
een hours fifty-nine permits were is¬
sued, three-fourths of which were for
children under four years of age. The
normal death rate is sixteen.

from an excursion to Glen island on

a tremendous'crash, the ship having

In the crash women and children

During the excitement the steamer

WAS POLHILL MURDERED?
His Foster Mother Thinks So and Will
Have Matter Investigated.
Miss Joe Varner, of Indian Springs,
Ga.. has determined to offer a reward
for the slayer or slayers oi Hon. Hope
Polhill. the soliciting general who was
found dead in his office in Macon early
one morning a few months ago. It
was generally understood at the time
that death was due to suicide, but
members of the family have clung
steadfastly to the belief that it was
a case of foul play. Miss Varner was
Mr. Polhiil’s foster mother, and she
has made up her mind to have a thor¬
ough investigation made.

TRIED TO SERVE INJUNCTIONS
Striking Miners Defy Court and Rout
United States Marshals—Latter
Forced to Retire for
Reinforcements.
A special from Huntington, W. Va.,
says: Monday a posse of United States
deputy marshals, led by A. C. Hufford,
of Bluefield, were fired on by strikers
and forced to flee from the coal fields
’
at Matewan.
Sunday afternoon the marshals, un¬
der the leadership of A. C. Hufford, set
out from Bluefield to reach the scene
of the miners’ riots. When they ar¬
rived within twenty miles of Thacker
they found they could proceed no fur¬
ther by rail on account of the flood.
They struck out across the mountains,
encountering almost insurmountable
difficulties, and late Sunday afternoon
reached their destination. Proceeding
to work, they began serving notices of
the injunction which had been issued
by Judge Jackson.
A mob of strikers followed, armed
to the teeth with firearms. On all sides
could be heard the cry, Down with
government by injunction.’” Men
threatened them with their weapons,
women called down the vengeance of
heaven upon them and children hurled
stones. When nightfall came notice
had been served on the strikers of all
the coal companies but one, and that |
was to be served at Lick Fork Coal
a nd Coke Company, at Thacker. Fear-
jng an ambush, they waited until Mon- ■
day morning, and early in the day set
out for Thacker. j
Some time before noon they at-
tempted to serve the injunction papers !
at the above named colliery. A mob
-followed enraged to desperation at the
sweeping character of the injunction,
One reckless fellow fired the first
shot and quick as lightning the moun- i
tain sides echoed and re-echoed with
resounding reports that followed the
crack of twenty or thirty rifles. The
deputies were forced to take refuge in
flight, and then barely escaped with
fb e ir lives.
A dispatch Tuesday from Thacker,
^^ a -> says: The United States dep- J
uty marshals who were fired on while
en d ea - v °rlng to serve notices of injunc-
tlon on strikin 8 miners, left last mid-
n,ght for Charleston, having received
orders from United States Marshal
Thom Pson to come there at once.
Tim supposition is that they will be
largely reinforced and return, and that
the state militia may be sent.
While the United States marshals
were‘n the station at Thacker waiting
Jor the train probably fifty shots wers

a
To Wash Fine Waists.
To wash fine white waists, all lacd
and embroidery, without damage,
shake them well, wet them in clear
water, with a little ammonia added;
then lay them in an earthen vessel,
cover with strong white soapsuds and
set in the sun for three hours. No rul>
bing is needed—the sunlight takes cut
the dirt. Rinse in three waters, bluo
well and starch. Iron on the wrong
side, using a sleeve board covered with
flanneL
The Right Way to Iron Shirts.
For ironing, fold the shirt straight
clown the middle of the back, and iron
the body smooth, takiug care to move
the iron mainly straight with the
warp. Next fold a sleeve fiat along
the sloped-©6am], and iron it upon both
sides. Iron first through the middle,
then take of the wristband or
shoulder with the left hand and hold
taut till the iron goes quite to the join.
Open the wristband, lay it flat, and
iron hard upon the wrong side, then
turn upon the right side. Next iron
yoke and neckband. Then comes tho
tug of war—ironing the bosom.
First fasten the neckband properly,
next slip the bosom board inside the
shirt and spread the bosom smooth
upon it, pressing it out simultaneously
with both hands. With a thin clean
cloth wet the whole linen surface
lightly with weak raw starch. Rub it
in well, and if any place feels sticky
wipe it off with a cloth dipped in tepid
water. Have the iron hot enough to
yellow dry cloth if left to stand on it
ten seconds. Begin at the bottom of
the bosom and iron straight toward
the neck, up the middle, holding the
neckband in the left hand and pulling
hard against the iron. Here as much
depends on the left hand as the right
—the knack lies mainly in knowing
how to pull properly,
If the bosom wrinkles or forms one
of the warps known to laundresses as
“cat-faces,” wet the place with clear
water, stretch it smooth, and iron over
again. Rub the iron over the white
wax, also in the salt tray, to insure a
perfectly smooth surface. If the
starch is right—properly made and ap-
plied—it will not stick to the face. But
a yellowy crust forms upon the iron
tip scratch it off with a blunt knife
and he sure to wax and salt-polish the
ir ° u again before settling it on the
shirt.
When the whole bosom is smooth
utul neatly dry, take cue of the pol-
siting irons not quite so hot as the
others, rub the face of it with either
polishing wax or white soap and press
the bosom hard all over, bearing hard-
est u P cn th e rounded Iron point. Iron
and polish cuffs on a flannel-covered
boaid. NVit them also with raw
starch - or more P™Perly starch water.

IRON WORKERS OUT
No Agreement Reached on Wage
Scale For Ensuing Yea —1
.
FIFTY THOUSAND ARE AFFECTED
President of Amalgamated Association
Warns Companies That Con-
flict Will Be Memora¬
ble One.
The Joint conference committee of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron.
Steel and Tin Workers and the Ameri¬
can Sheet Steel Company, in session at
Pittsburg Saturday, was unable to
reach an agreement on the wage scale
for the ensuing year and adjourned fi.
naily after a session of less tuan twen¬
ty minutes.
The Amalgamated Association offl.
cials asked that the scale be signed fo*
all the- union mills, and the manufac¬
turers presented a counter proposition
not only refusing to sign for all the
union mills, but stipulating that two
plants that were included iasl year be
exempt from this scale this year. The
conference then broke up and Presi¬
dent Shaffer at once issued a strike
order. The strike will involve all the
union sheet mills in the country and
about twenty thousand skilled work¬
men.
Monday morning President Shaffer
issued a second order calling out all
union employees of the various mills
Ol the American Steel Hoop Company,
known as the hoop trust. It is estima¬
ted that 15,000 men will be subject to
the call, which, in connection with the
big strike of the American Sheet Steel
Company, ordered by President Shaf¬
fer on Saturday, wall affect 50,000 men.
President Shaffer said Sunday night:
“The impression that only the mills
of the American Sheet Steel Company
are affected by the decision of Satur¬
day is a mistake. The workmen of all
mills in the American Steel Company
are interested and will oe officially no¬
tified tomorrow morning that the scale
has not beta signed and they will quit
work. To the well organized mills this
notice will not be necessary, as the
men will have watched the situation
carefully, but what is known as open
mills, where union men have been al-
lowed to work side by side with the
non-union, is where we have to move,
Union men must walk out of these
open miUs in the hoop trust-
« The open mllls t0 be notifled are
