THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1902.
SOLDIERS ARE IDLE
Nothing for Them to Do at
Shenandoah.
THE STRIKERS ARE ORDERLY
Troops-. Are a Great Attraction to
the Unemployed Union OfH
clalu Want Them With
drawn. Mlneworkers at Shenandoah are In
censed over the calling out of the- Na
tional -Guard. They declare that troops
are not needed there, uid appeal to
Governor Stone to withdraw them. The
town was quiet yesterday, and the sol
diers were respectfully treated by the
miners.
SHENANDOAH. Pa., July SI. Twelve
hundred state troops are encamped to
night on a hill overlooking Shenandoah.
Down In the town, where "rioters and po
licemen fought tho T)loody battle last
night, all Is quiet, and the indications
are that so long as the militia remains
the peace of the community will not again
he broken. Tho riot which caused the
soldiers to be sent hero came like a Hash
and was over almost as quickly as it had
started, and not a single case of violence
has been reported since. Tho tens of
thousands of idle men and boys In this
vicinity, who have been gathering In
large numbers and marching from place
to place, did not repeat their demonstra
tions today, and the authorities conse
quently had little or nothing to do.
The arrival of the citizen-soldiery
proved to be a great attraction for the
large army of unemployed, and hundreds
of men and boys came to town to see
the troops. The first companies to ar
rive came from St. Clair at C:30 A. M.,
and from that hour up to 3 P. M., when
the Governor's troop of cavalry disem
barked and galloped up the Main street.
anenanaoah presented a lively appear
ance. Most of the commands were on
the ground by 10:30 o'clock. Brigadier-
General Gobin, of tho Third Brigade, In
command of the troops here, and his staff
were on the scene early. The camp is lo
cated on a high hill just outside the
town, and commands a full view of tho
town. "Within the camp lines are guar
tered two full regiments the Eighth and
Twelfh two companies of the Fourth
Regiment and the troop of cavalry. Tho
commander and his staff are quartered at
the Ferguson House, but It is the Gen
eral's intention to get under canvas with
his staff as -soon as circumstances will
permit
Beyond tho presence of a group of sol
diers here and there on the principal
street, Shenandoah does not show any ev
idence of having passed through a trying
ordeal. The largo number of persons who
had been attracted to the place by the
coming of the militia left during the after
noon, and tonight the town presents its
normal appearance.
The major portion of the population Is
made up of foreigners, and as a rule they
kept close to their homes during tho day.
It Is declared by tho citizens of the town
that the foreign element was solely re
sponsible for the trouble. The Philadel
phia & Reading station, -where the riot
occurred, shows many bullet marks of
the battle.
Not Under Martial Law.
Contrary to popular belief, Shenandoah
Is not under martial law. The local au
thorities and the Sheriff of tho county
have not relinquished control of the town
or county, and they remain In as com
plete control of their respective affairs
as they did before the troops reached
here. The soldiers are merely In camp
on the outside of the town. It was deemed
advisable, however, by the Brigadier
General, to establish a provost guard in
every part of the town. As long as the
situation remains as It Is at present there
is no likelihood that the regimental com
panies will be scattered through tho min
ing towns of Schuylkill County. It is the
Intention of General Gobin to have the
troops occupy their time by going through
their drills, target practice and camp rou
tine, j
General Gobin spent a busy day inform
ing himself of the situation throughout
the country. He had a personal Interview
with Sheriff Beddall in the afternoon and
a telephone conference with him In the
evening. The General also received mes
sages from different parts ,of the territory.
In an interview with the correspondent
of tho Associated Press tonight. General
Gobin said:
"The general situation Is very quiet
There were no Incidents during the day
worthy of note except the arrival of 500 or
600 men on freight trains. It seems that
a lot of the idle men, for want of some
thing better to do. Jump freight trains and
ride from one town to another. They call
such Tides 'Johnny Mitchell excursions.
I have received dispatches from differ
ent parts of the country -which tell of
meetings, marches, attacks on individuals,
violations of the law and the refusal of
local police authorities to enforce the law.
Upon these dispatches I am not ready to
act What I will do depends largely upon
what the Sheriff Is going to do. We are
here to give him support in his efforts to
enforce the civil law; wo were ordered
here because, of his inability to do so
The National Guard has no opinion to ex
press as to the merits of the question
agitated by either ride of the" controversy,
as that is not within its province."
Miners Are Incensed.'
The mlneworkers are greatly incensed
over the calling out of the troops. They
assert that this action was entirely un
warranted, and is an unjustifiable expense
on the state. The strikers, through thelr
officials, are making an effort to have the
ooldlers withdrawn. The first step in this
direction was taken this afternoon, when
the following telegram was sent from here
to Governor Stone:
"We. the undersigned, offlcialsN)f the
Ninth District Miners' Union, believe that
tho request made of you to send troops to
Shenandoah was based upon exaggera
tions; and as -we are confirmed In this
belief, we respectfully request you to send
a. personal representative into this town
to Investigate the conditions, and after
s:ich investigation, believe that you will
learn that the presence of troops In this
town Is unnecessary, and that the order
should be revoked.
"MILES DOUGHERTY.
"TERRENCE GUNLEYi
"MARTIN POWASIS.
"J. T. -WILLIAMS.
"T. J. RICHARDS."
It Is 6ald the mlneworkert' officials In
tend to circulate among the citizens of
the town for signatures a petition calling
upon the Governor to withdraw the troops.
Miles Dougherty. National executive
board man of the mlneworkers from this
district, told the Associated Press today
that Deputy Sheriff Thomas Beddall. who
is a nephew of the Sheriff of the county
and who was escorting workmen along
the street, which action tended to the riot,
jvvas wholly responsible for the trouble.
Mr. Dougherty said Beddall had no right
to shoot, as no one was making an attack
upon him. The firing of .the revolver, he
said, angered the crowd, which soon got
beyond the control of the peacemakers.
Beddall's brother Joe, who attempted to
go to his rescue, was badly beaten by the
crowd, Mr. Dougherty said, because he
was carrying several boxes of cartridges
to his brother Thomas. It is not Improb
able that the strikers will call upon the,
county oracers to fix the responsibility for
the shooting of the Deputy Sheriff.'
The district leaders of the miners' union
held several conferences during -the day,
at" wmcn me- situation was thoroughly
gone over. Committeeman Doughertp
made a full report to President MltchqTl
by telephone. This afternoon the miners"
advisory board of this vicinity, which In
cludes the officers of the several local
unions In this region, held a secret meet
ing. at which plans were devised to pre
vent any Intended breaks in the ranks of
the strikers. One of the things decided
on was to hold frequent meetings of strik
ers andhave them addressed by the va
rious district leaders.
A large mass meeting of engineers was
held here this afternoon, in which Hun
garians, Poles and Lithuanians took part
Half a dozen speeches were made. Great
indignation was expressed by all of the
speakers over the bringing of troops to
Shenandoah.
Of the 0 or more persons who. were
beaten with clubs or struck by bullets In
last night's rioting, one man, Joseph Bed
dall, died tonight He was a brother of
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Beddall and a
nephew of Sheriff Beddall. of this county
He was 35 years old. and was a member
of the Beddall-Taggart Company, whole
sale and retail hardware dealers of this
city. The four policemen who were shot
and the strikers who were also hit by bul
lets- will recover. Most 6fthe wounded
strikers say they were merely onlookers.
The District Attorney and the Sheriff are
prosecuting an investigation with a. view
of placing under arrest all those who par
ticipated In the riot. Several of the wound
ed strikers called at the miners' hospital
today to have slight Injuries dressed, and
after the doctors got through with them
they were arrested and taken to the JalL

STRIKERS ARE DEPRESSED.
Fear Presence of Troops "Will En
courage Operators to Resume.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 3L The riot
at Shenandoah last night has had a de
pressing effect at strike headquarters. All
the local leaders of the United Mlnework
ers deplore the shedding of blood and the
calling out of tho troops They say the
presence of the soldiers will encourago
the operators to start up their mines.
Local operators are of the opinion that
the backbone of the strike is now broken,
and that It will only be a short time until
there will bo a general resumption of min
ing. National Board Member John Fallon,
who arrived at headquarters today, would
not admit that the affair at Shenandoah
would change the situation. He said tho
great bulk of the strikers were orderly
and would continue peaceable, and the op
erators could have little hope that their
old employes would return to work.
This afternoon President Mitchell Issued
the following statemcntr
"Wllkesbarre, Pa.. July 3L Complete
and authentlo reports furnished by Na
tional officers of our organization, located
at Shenandoah, show that the story of
the riot at Shenandoah was greatly ex
aggerated, and thattUhe faots are much
distorted. It develops that no one was
killed or fatally injured, and that the
entire trouble might have been averted
had the deputies kept cool and used
greater discretion. While I greatly depre
cate acts of lawlessness by any one, par
ticularly by thoso on strike. I am nat
urally pleased to learn that tho trouble
Is not as serious as first reported. I have
repeatedly warned the strikers that any
violation of law on their part wou'.d mili
tate against themselves alone, and I am
hopeful that there will not be a repeti
tion of trouble of this character.

DETROIT, July -SL Today's sessions
of the Michigan Democratic 8tate Con
ventlon- seemed to prove that harmony Is
not a virtue altogether unattainable in
Democratic ranks. Judge George H. Du
rand, of Flint, who filled a vacancy on
the Supreme bench of this state during
1592, and Who Is credited with being
Gold Democrat at heart though not
bolter in 1SDG, was nominated today on
tho fourth ballot to run for Governor this
Fall.
Judge Durand did not attend the con
ventlon or authorize any one to state that
he would accept the nomination if it wire
accorded him, and the free-silver element
made a vigorous fisht to defeat him. In
tlmatlng that he -would likely leave the
party m the lurch and .either refuse to
run or conduct a luke-warm campaign,
Judge Durand was not even nominated by
nis home delegation, the one from Gene
see County. Hla name was presented by
ex-congressman Tarmey. of Detroit
Judge Durond's son. who was here, re-
iused to encourage any one who was

GREAT TIDAL WAVE.
Following the Earthquake,
It
Frightens Costa Rlcans.
SAN FRANCISCoTjuJy 31 The steam
or City of Sydney brings news of a tidal"
wave at .funta Arenas, Costa Rica. Al
though not a great amount of damage was
done, tho wave was sufficiently high to
submerge the railroad trades and inflict
some Injury to houses of the poorer classes
near the beach. Coming in the wake of
the great earthquakes of Central America
and the eruption of Isaleo, the volcano
back of Acajutla. the phenomenon greatly
alarmed the Costa Rlcans.
The flaring up of Isaleo has greatly
frightened hundreds of residents of Sal
vador, who report that terrifying sub
terranean noises-are frequently heard. Not
many people are left In the neighborhood
of Isaleo. though until a few weeks ago
the're were numerous settlements near It3
base. The volcano sends out no lava, but
volumes of fire and stone. Officers of the
Sydney report that pumice stone Is to be
found at any time along the beach at

The Main Thing With Bryan.
New York Times.
To seize upon this Issue and print the
legend of "tariff reform" all over the. par
ty banners Is sound Democracy, sound
sense, able politics, and the way to vie
too. Said Mr. Shcpard:
The American people are today thoroughly
Tenfly to deprive the irreat monopolistic In
ternets of the country of the special tariff
prl1lers which they enjoy. If the Demo
cratic party In selecting" its Issue defer, as It
Is bound to do, to the popular wllL It has no
choice. The Issue of tariff reform Is Irrevo
cably at the forefront
After these words of "brilliant leadership
Jt is a weariness of the flesh to consider
the addresses of Cannack and of Bryan.
If these gentlemen conceive of the. tariff
Issue at all it is only "as a campaign
against "plutocracy." Mr. Bryan says that
the Democrats -who have spurned him can
return to the party only when they have
become aware of the "real character of
the Hfe-and-death struggle now being
waged between plutocracy and Democra
cy." "Unchanged by victory or defeat"
tho Democratic party must have a con
trolling purpose. That is his position ex
actly. He cares little -whether It be vic
tory or defeat o long as 'he can retain
the leadership, write the platforms and
earn a large annual Income by pursuing
the profession of a perpetual candidate
and editing The Commoner. Mr. Bryan's
speech becomes amusing when his per
fectly commonplace mind laboriously
strives to explain the defeats of 1S96 and
130). For the rest, his speech la dreary
reading after the Illuminating discourse,
of Mr. Shepard.

nois; gets on the popular wavo without de
lay. In ah Interview hb says his state, as
well as Iowa and Minnesota and other
Northwestern States, ls anxious for such
tariff rei3ion as -will -bo for the benefit
of the people. He 'also takes a strong
ground In favor of Cuban reciprocity. As
he is chairman of the committee on for
eign relations, which will consider -the
treaty with Cuba, It. means that he will
act promptly in bringing the treaty before
the Senate at the next session.
.o Opposition to Roosevelt.
The declaration of Senator Piatt that
New York will send a solid Roosevelt
derogation -to the next convention Is very
gratifying to the President's friends, but
it ls no more than was expected. Novpcll
tlclan can see" anything else in sight ex
cept Roosevelt's nomination, and many
remark that the wonderful feature of the
President's personal popularity and the
confidence the people have In him Is the
Indorsement he is receiving for' a second
term two years before the conventions
are held.
PAYIXG UP UNDER XEW LAW.
Eastern Oregon Entrymen Must Deed
Tracts to Government.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 31. Commissioner Hermann,
In his first decision under the act of the
last session for the relief of settlers in
Eastern Oregon, holds that in all cases
where entries have been cancelled for con
flict with the grant to The Dalles Mili
tary Wagon Road Company, It ls neces
sary for the entrymen to deed the land
back to the United States In order to ob
tain repayment of the 'purchase money.
Several entrymen have appealed to the
department to be exempted from turn
ing the and over to the Government, but
In order to receive the benefits of tho
law the transfer Is necessary. It Is not
discretionary with the Land Office to
waive this requirement. Some of the
lands turned over to the Government will
be restored to the public domain; others
will go back to the wagon road company.
Final disposition of the tracts, however,
has not yet been considered.
SOLDIERS WERE TOO LATE

Virginia Mob.
WASHINGTON, July CL Charles
Craven, the supposed murderer of Charles
H. Wilson, a farmer living near Herndon,
Va., who was captured this morning near
Asbury, Va., was lynched this afternoon

crowbars'. They encountered little resist
ance. A noose was thrown around the
prisoner's neck and he was led down the
pike in tho direction of the scene of the
murder. The mob had (proceeded scarcely
a mllo when the rope was thrown around
a; tree and Craven was pulled from the
ground. Fully 500 shots were fired at the
dying man. Before Craven was lynched
he was given an opportunity to make a
statement He protested that ho was In
nocent of killing Wilson. Men, women
and children who lined the road from the
Jail to the scene 'of the execution cheered
the mob. Governor Montague was ap
pealed to by the officers of the common
wealth, and he ordered the Alexandria
Light Infantry to tho scene, but the mob
iiuu accompusnea its wont before the ari
rival of the soldiers.

Two West Point Centennial Stories.
Washington Post
Senator Warren, of Wyoming, brings
back from West Point, where he at
tended 'the centennial exercises, a cou
ple of stories. One of them Is the speech
which a gray-haired olTlccr made to the
President The latter was sympathiz
ing with the younger officers on account
of the amount of work required of them,
when the older officer Interrupted him.
"If I had my way," he said, "they
would work that way all the year
round."
"Why?" asked the President
"Because," remarked the officer, half
humorously and half seriously, "if we
could kill off all the young officers, wo
older ones would have some show of
promotion."
The President laughed heartllr and
Ipromlsed to sec that the older officers
were not overlooked In the future.
It was during these centennial exer
cises that a lot of the, cadets started
upon an all-night frolic They awoke one
man .at 3 o'clock In the morning.
"Why don't you let me sleep?" he In
quired.
"Oh. get up," was the reply. "We will-
all bo sleeping when . the next centennial
come3. Don't let's lose any time "how."

ART OF KEEPING COOL.
Common Sense Gives Immunity From
Heat Exhaastion.
Philadelphia Record.
With the approach of the dog days
comes the annually recurring warning
from health boards, cold-blooded scientific
societies and independent orders of never
sweats against the folly of courting heat 1
prostration. Reduced to its elements, the 1
advice of these wise men as to the con-
duct of life during the heated term ls .
simple and Intelligible. Keep cool; don't
get excited; don't eat anything that 13
heating; don't drink anything that la cool- j
lng; wear chelfly a broad smile and a
wet sponge on the head; don't move nor '
breathe except when absolutely neces- I
sary such are a few of the minor max- '
lm8 of hot air phlosophy dished up from '
year to year for the consumption of
sweltering' massca In the great cities. Of
all cants that are canted during the silly !
season surely the cant of keeping cool
is the most aggravating.
There is really no mystery in the mat-
ter, little occasion for promulgation of :
wise saws and modern Instances, no con- ;
Burning public desire for dependence upon !
anything but native horse sense for lm- :
muntty from heat exhaustion and- sun- 1
stroke. A reasonable degree of precau- '
tlon, such as would occur naturally to
every citizen oppressed by undue excess
of temperature, may be depended upon
to tide over the brief emergency, without
Intermission of accustomed physical
nourishment and solace. The Hfe-glvlng
sun Is humanity's greatest boon and mcst
faithful sustained even when pouring a
superabundance of heat rays from the
zenith.
Dealing with estlval temperature Is,
jester all, large.y an affair of tempera
ment and locality, to be adjusted from '
day to day in accordance with everchang
lng and rarely repeated conditions. A '
simple and sane philosophy of common )
sense Is tho surest refuge when the mcr-
tuij luuuuui lino me nineties, no less
than In graver exigencies on this mun

Qnalnt L'sea of Common Words.

Titter originally meant courtship.
Crowd was the old English name for a

Good-bye is a contraction of "God be

Fashion -was the old name for a certain
disease of the horse. It Is alluded to In
"The Taming of the Shrew," where Pe
truchlo's horse 13 said to be "Infected wltji
the fashions." The complaint Is a com
mon one now, but not among horses.
Bug originally meant a goblin. The
Welsh word bug means a ghost The
Hebrew word, which In Psalnws xc:5, ls
represented by "terror," was In the early
translatlons rendered bug, the verse
being "Thou shalt not bo afraid of any
bugs by night."
At first sight there would appear to be
little connection between flatter and the
wagging of a dog s tall. Yet In nearly 1
all the northern language the same word i
signifies both, and flattery Is certainly de
rived from the word signifying to wag
the tall. In the old Norman flagra sig
nifies to flatter and also to wagthe
tall. In Danish logre Is to wag the tall",
and loger for een Is to fawn on one. In
