MITCHELL IS IN NEW YORK Conflicting Rumors as to Object of His Visit. National President of the Union Cives Out an En couraging Statement Be fore Leaving Wilkesbarre. President John Mitchell, of tho United Mine Workers, left Wilkesbarre yesterday at noon and at G o'clock last evening registered at the Ashland House, New York city. Ills departure was hurriedly made after tho receipt of telegrams frotn New York. Before leaving, Mitchell was In conference with District Presidents Nichols, Duffy and Fa hey. There are conflicting rumors as to the object of Mr. Mitchell's visits, and from what can be learned very few people, outside of the district presidents and those who sent tho telegrams, know positively his purpose in going to the metropolis. It Is announced by those who should know that the mine workers' leader will have a conference today if not directly with the presidents of the coal carrying roads then with tho representatives who are at lest qualified to speak with au thority. On tho other hand, the Associated Press claims to have information that ho wont to Now York for the purpose of meeting leaders of other labor organiza tions. Tho purpose of the meeting is not definitely known, but it is under stood to have'a direct bearing on tho question of labor organizations afliliated with the American Federation of Labor assisting tho minors' union financially. While in Now York, this report says, ho will also meet the officials of railroad unions and other organizations that can assist tho strikers by other than finan cial means. Mr. Mitchell, it is expected, will re turn to Wilkesbarre lato tonight or early tomorrow. lie has an engage ment for Tuesday to address tho dele gates of District No. 1, which opened Its annual convention at Nanticoko this morning.

Apply to William Uiggius, Freeland* FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JULY 7, 1902. ou Saturday evening: "I am well pleased with the showing made by the steam men in obeying the strike order, and the firmness displayed by them ever since. This is the battle of our lives, as it means the success or downfall of our union in the anthracite region. Of all the strikes of my re collection, or of any that I ever partici pated in, there nevor was one that I was so confident of winning as this one. And let mo tell you that the day is not far away when my words will come true." "Those fellow-workers among your craft who refused to obey the strike order, and those few who deserted you since, will have reasons to regret their action, as they will suffer greatly when this strike is won or lost, as I have yet to meet the man who prefers a traitor to a good, upright, honest man. Those men who are now getting patted on the back by the officials of the coal com panies will, at the close of our strike, be treated with scorn by their employers. "One thing that I wish to impress upon you, and that is this great strike will never bo settled with my consent, only on condition that each and every man that left his place with us in our battle shall bo returned to his former position; otherwise there shall bo no settlement that will permit discrimin ation for taking an active part in our battle." OUAHDS PLACED UNDEK BAIL. Charles ltohland, W. F. Smith, Victor Kline and Cbarlos Roberts, four of the coal and iron police who figured promi nently in the assault upon two men and several women at Drlfton Thursday morning, have furnished bail of SI,OOO each to appear in court and answer the charge of assault preferred by tho men they arrested, on warrants issued by Squire Shoyiin. When tho constables reached Drlfton on Friday the guards were said to bo at Cranberry, but bail for their appearance when needed was furnished by 11. E. Sweeney, W. B. Fry and James Reagan. The men whom tho guards arrested on Thursday and hustled to Wilkesbarre wore placed under SI,OOO ball by Alder man Pollack. Rail was furnished by John Shigo, and upon tho return of tho prisoners to Freeland they imuiedlatoly Instituted suits against the guards named. Warrants for the arrests of tan guards have been issued at llazleton by Squire McKolvoy for interfering with his con stable, who attempted to arrest a guard named Seiwell at Harwood, charged with pointing a revolver at a man in that town. Tho constable was refused admittance to tho stockade by the ten guards, and the man he was after was spirited away to Squire Fagan, who is "scabbing," before whom ball for Sol well was furnished. William Daly, of Philadelphia, a guard who was discharged at Duryea and later secured a similar position at Beaver Brook, Is serving five days in llazleton lockup for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. TWO KINDS OK BUI'K 111 NTKN DENTS. On Thursday ovoning Charles Roll lands and a detail of coal and iron polico from Drifton stopped a number of boys from firing oIT a cannon on Coxe Bros. A, Co.'s land, west of the borough line. They came with orders from Superintendent L. C. Smith to "get oil our land or stand arrested." The boys obeyed. At tho same time In Upper Lehigh Superintendent A. C. Leisenring, miss ing the usual Fourth of July salutes, sent a message to the men and boys of the town asking why tho customary honors woro not being given to the nation's holiday. He was Informed that they lacked powder. Mr. Leisenring immediately sent George Wi I mot, Jr., to tiie coal company's magazine and rolled out a keg of ammunition and followed tliis with a cash donation for other fireworks. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. In Luzerne, Lackawanna, Schuylkill and Carbon counties there aro eighty two of tho imported coal and iron police either under bail or in jail, charged with offenses ranging from murder to drunk enness. In tho same counties thirty-two strikers and strike sympathizers, in cluding eight women and five men ar rested, at Miners Mills on Saturday for hooting a "scab," are under bail on charges of riot or disturbing the peace. As the guards number less than 2,000 and tho strikers and strike sympathizers aggregate nearly half a million, tho proportion of lawlessness is by far in favor of the guards. The enormous losses of tho Reading Coal Company, Reading Railroad Com pany, Lehigh Valley Coal Company and Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, as shown by tho May reports of those cor porations, have created consternation among the large stockholders. The j losses show nearly $3,000,000 for tho Continued on Fourth Puge. SCHOOL AFFAIRS. Regular Meetings Held bv the Boards of Foster and Freeland. Directors Johnson, Mcllugh, O'Noll and Dudley were the members present at tho regular meeting of Foster town ship school board Saturday evening. In tho absence of President Weber and Secretary Zlestloft, Messrs. Johnson and Mcllugh were elected president and secretary pro tern respectively. No minutes being at hand, in the abseuco of tho secretary their reading was post poned. Books were adopted as follows: Fourth and fifth books of the Progres sive Course of Studies, Instead of Hazen's; Morten's elementary and com plete geographies, instead of Butler's. All other books, tho terms of which expired, were readopted for a term of three years. The books displaced and tho new books adopted are published by Butler, Sheldon & Co. Tho contracts wore duly signed by the officers of the board. The supply committee reported hav ing awarded the contract for supplies to M. J. Geary, of Wilkesbarre. It was decided that the chair appoint directors to look after tho buildings of the township. Tho assignment follows: Weber—llazlo Brook, Foundryvlilc; Mc llugh—Eckley; Johnson—Sandy ltun, Highland; O'Neil—Upper Lehigh, Tan nery; Zlestloft—Drifton, Woodside; Dud ley—Pond Creek, Ripples, Sandy Valley, Scale Siding. Residents of Scale Siding were per mitted tho uso of the school building on Sundays for church purposes. Tho question of what repairs are need ed at the different buildings wa9 dis cussed, and no definite information being obtained, it was decided to ap point Tuesday, and all membnrs are to be requested to bo on hand, to drive around tho township on a visit of in spection. Director Dudley called tho attention of the board to a mistake In tho salary of Thomas Sarricks, which was placed at SOO per month while other grammar school toachors are to receive SGS. Tho matter was allowed to go over until the minutes are read, when it will likely be adjusted. FREELAND BOARD MEETS. The July mooting of Freeland school board was held Thursday evening with Directors Brogan, Buckley, Fetterman, Isaac, Sholhamor, Timony and Slattery present. Tho order for school supplios for tho term was awarded to M. J. Geary, Wilkesbarre, at $94, this figure being the lowest presented by eight dealers. The building committee was Instruct ed to have broken panes replaced In the Daniel Coxo building. Tho directors propose to take action against porsons who trcsspas upon tho school grounds or property, at considerable damage to tbo buildings Is reported having been done by ball-players and loiterers. The practice of storing vehicles on the South Washington street lot was called to the directors' attention, and the president was notified to order tho owners to remove tho same without delay. The text-books and supplies commit tee were authorized to consult with tho supervising principal on tho advisability of revising tho courso of study and rules and regulations, and to make rec ommendations to the board on the subject. The Fourth in Freeland. The Fourth In Freeland was observed in a far more patriotic manner than our townspeople had anticipated, and the public in general apparently forget tho strike and its eiTucts in the good cheer and feeling which abounded. Tho parade was larger than those who had arranged it had hoped for, and tho marchers made a good appearance. A lack of music was the only feature which marred the demonstration. The picnic held by tho Citizens' Ilose Company at the Public park was a grand success, both socially and finan cially, and during the afteruoon and evening many hundred people enjoyed tho music and other pleasures. Tho absence of rain caused genoral comment, as this holiday is generally subject to one or more heavy showers. Tho usual amount of shooting was Indulged in, but no serious accideuts occurred hereabouts. At Drifton, for tho first time In a score of years, tho Coxo families were not serenaded by tho bands and Sunday schools of the town and Woodside, nor wore the miners' children and breaker hoys given their annual packago of firoworks. Instead, the spacious lawns wero filled with coal and Iron police, officials and non-union workmen and their families, who wore feasted and made much of by those in charge of the residences. Ice cream at Morkt's. LOCAL NOTES WRITTEN OP Short Items of Interest to All Readers. Happenings of the Past Two Days in and Around Freeland Recorded With out Waste of Words.

TRI-WEEKLY PAIN IN mBACK A Sure Sign of Kidney Trouble—Dr David Ken nedy's Favorite Rem edy Will Cure You.
