be delivered at the boiler house from

TICKET ALL BIGHT.
Republicans Well Satisfied With the
Selection of Major White. for
Governor.*
Ill Health of Governor Fanpher Serious
and Has Extended Over a
JLong Period.
Matter Was Harmoniously Adjusted At
the Session of the State
Committee.
In this city as in^the state the with­
drawal of Governor Fancher from the
republican, state ticket as the nominee
for governor has been a source of con
^iderable surp.rise and comment. It is
stated that the governor has had the
matter under consideration for soine
time, desiring, however, to be assured
that hds withdrawal from the ticket
•would force no difficult complicajtidns
for the republican managers, before
taking the step. His recent trip to
California was made with a view (if
divorcing himself from office and polit­
ical affairs and of obtaining the best
medical treaitmen't, thinking that pos­
sibly his health might be restored to
such an extent that it would be pos­
sible for him to make a vigorous cam­
paign, such as be desired to make in
the state. But the advice of his phys­
icians was that the work and excite­
ment of another campaign would prove
dangerous, and upon this the governor
decided to~take the step he has taken.
His letter of withdrawal was for­
warded to Secretary Jewell of the state
central committee and is as follows:
Sacramento, Cal., Sept. 15, 1900.
Owing to the 'serious condition of
my health, and acting on the advice of
my physicians, whose opinion I -do not
care to disregard, I beg herewith' to
tender my resignation as a candidate
on the republican state ticket for the
office of governor of North Dakota.
With profound appreciation of the
distinction conferred upon me in my
renomination, and deeply grateful to
the republican party of North Dakota
for many honors 'bestowed on me in
tbe past, I take this step only because'
I am convinced that the best interests
of all concerned render it absolutely
imperative.
Thanking the committee for many
courtesies extended and with a full
conviction of the triumph and success
of the republican party in the present
campaign, both in the state and nation,
I have the honor to be most respect­
fully,

SPENCER'S OFFICE ITCH.
GETS THE FUSION ,NOMINATION
FOR JUDGE—FORMER ATTOR­
NEY GENERAL.
Grafton, N. D-, Sept. 27.—The nom­
ination of "Old Necessity" Spencer by
the fusion convention for district judge
of the Seventh district has made-the
election of W. J. Kneeshaw, the re­
publican nominee, almost a certainty.
Spencer aas an itch for office. He
was attorney general under the Burke
administration. In 1890 he crossed
the line into the. populist camp on the
^ilver issue and was the nominee pf the
fusionists of tne Seventh district for
judge. He was defeated in a three
cornered contest by a plurality of 60
votes out of a total of 9,078.
This year the democrats of the Sev­
enth wanted fusion, and also desired
to sidetrack Spencer. But Spencer
would not have it that way. The in­
dependent and democratic conventions
met at St. Thomas on the same day.
Spencer was nominated by tlhe pops
and Attorney Meyers of this city by the
democrats. Spencer would not fuse
unless he was named. Neither can­
didate could get on the ballot as the
independent-democratic nominee. An
agreement was reached and both with­
drew. Meyers agreeing not to re-en­
ter the contest
A joint convention was called. The
democrat column, the name used by the
counties withdrew from the conven­
tion after a spirited fight, in which it
was shown that the Spencer crowd in­
tended to deprive the democrats in the
convention of a portion of th^ir vote
by an arbitrary ruling of Spencer's
chairman.
It is- claimed that there are several
irregularities in the calling of the
county conventions and the work of
the judicial convention, enough to form
a basis for an attempt to keep Spen­
cer's qam'e out of the independent
democat column, the name used by the
fusion crowd to designate their state
ticket. It is also pretty well under­
stood that this fight against Spencer
Will be made, and in case it is success­
ful, he will be forced to go on the bal­
lot by petition. In either instance his,
defeat can be put down as almost cer-
u|e th# knife ftefeijJ.
that sum­
mer he suffered from almost complete
nervous prostration, and was forced
to leave the city and go to Indiana
where he was under treatment fox
some time. He returned from there
considerably improved but by no
means well and a return of his old
troubles was threatened by the work
of another campaign. ,vt
There was a good dcssl c* specula­
tion over his probable successor when
the rumors of the governor's intended
withdrawal first became public, but
the matter was harmoniously and
wisely adjusted by the state central
committee in the selection of Major
White, the republican candidate for
lieutenant governor. Mr. White was
a prominent candidate for governor
before the convention, and had a
strowg j^erao^ai followin^^ He has
bad much experience in state affairs,
and his administrative and executive
ability were demonstrated in his ca­
pacity of battalion, commander of the
North E^ko&v troops in the Phillp
tPi'nes. !£& returned from that service

soiry we should have been delayed so
I can't make more of a speech. I as*

meet you and to see such enthusiastic
meeting. I am satisfied you will nom­
inate a ticket that will be elected at
the polls in November and I am safe
to say. in the ticket you will nominate
Ramsey county has no fear to over­

thank you for the pleasure meeting

FORCE THE ISSUE.
Owners and Operators of Coal Mines
Are Preparing to Force tbe
Strike to An Issue.
Commissions Issued For a Large Addi­
tional Force of Coal and Iron
Police.
Miners Migrating to, Other Fields of
Labor—No More Disturbances
Reported.
Scrah'ton, Pa,, Sept 27.—The oper­
ators ih this district'are making prep­
arations to force tne strike issue. Four
hundred commissions were received
here yesterday by the recorder of deeds
from Governor Stone for coal and iron
police. This force with scores of dep­
uties already sworn in is thought to be
sufficient to guarantee Safety. Men
are expected 'to 'be put to work in a few
days by five large companies at whose
instance the commissions were issued.
The miners say the bringing in of men
from abroad will precipiitate. trouble.
No attempt this morning, was made to
open any mine. Plenty of soft coal is
coming to town in plain cars. Miners
are seeking to identify shippers.
UNCHANGED.
SOME MINES OPEN WITH A RE­
DUCED FORCE OF WORKMEN.
Bazelton, Pa. Sept 27.—The Markle
company's mines ait Jeddo opened this
iporning with a small force. Markle
said the number was satisfactory, but
the' strikers stated he had less men
than oh Monday when less thon one
fifth of the force was at work. The
strikers declare it is only a matter of
a few days before the Jeddo mines are
shut down completely. The general
situation this morning is Unchanged.
The exodus of miners continues and
promises to have an influence towards
a settlement Operators are trying to
discourage men from leaving.

Hazelton, Sept 27.—President
Mitchell wtas asked 'today concerning
Hanna's peace negotiation. He said
the miners held aloof from politics, and
stood upon the justice of their cause,
jtihe strength of their organization, and
the support of public sentiment. He
had not heard .directly from Hanndl
Mitchell undoubtedly heard indirectly
botJi from Hanna and the coal trust,
ks he said he believed there was a
•bright outlook for an early settlement
His prediction of an early victory is
shared generally by the leaders.
STRAW FUEL.
BUT WE WONT NEED IT OUT
HERE WHEsRE LIGNITE IS SO
PLENTIFUL.
Grand Forks, Sept. 27.—S. Ogden
Edison of East Orange, N. J., has been
in the city for the past few days com­
pleting arrangements for the election
of a plant at McCanna for the manu­
facture of a fuel product from straw
and other fibrous matter. Mr. Edison
has spent years in investigating and
Experimenting ua he is now sure that
fruits of his labor "will solve the
fuel question. He claims that what
taken nature centur
hert
lies to do by his process, can be accom­
plished in ten hours. He says that
'tfyei product has been thoroughly tested
pnd tbat it can be used for all purposes
for which wood or coal is used at the
present time, ahd that the results are
as satisfactory in the blacksmith's
forge as in the furnace or under the
boiler. As to the cost he is quite cer­
tain that it can be put upon the mar­
ket at a cost that will make it a far
cheaper fuel than either wood or coal
at the present time. The plant to be
constructed at McCanna at once will
oe the first of the kind ever built and
he will rush it to completion as soOn
as possible that he may demonstrate
publicly that he can substantiate all
his claims regarding the product. The
machinery has already been ordered
from the eastand he expects to have
th$ plant in operation within the next
tiwr mwbauk ligrbe-. he has
with Mift are m" the shape of a hollow
cylinder, about five inches in diameter.
His metfaod, as far as be wtll divtdge
it, Is to fltst boil the Btraw and tfcen
grtttt It to a pulp. Poilowtng tWs it
is subjected to a 'chemical process,
after which it is partially dried and
•them compressed in the form in Which
it is to be put upon the market. The
pressure that it is subjected to is enor­
mous for two reasons, first to get it in
the smallest possible space for con­
venience and second to make it as econ­
omical a fuel as possible.
Considerable interest is manifested
in the project by a number of the busi­
ness men of the city who have exam­
ined the product and are confident that
the scheme wiill be a great success if
the cost of manufacture does not prove
too great, which Mr. Edison is sure
will not be the case. The outcome of
the venture will be closely watched by
everyone, as should it prove as suc­
cessful as is anticipated, it will prove
a great thing for the people of the
northwest wfhere the fuel item is of
such importance.
The fact that the promoter of the
enterprise is a brother of the electri­
cian, Thomas A. Edison, and that the
experiments were conducted in his
laboratory causes greater faith to be
attached to its success.
ATTENDANCE LARGER.
STATE UNIVERSITY ENROLLMENT
SHOWS A LARGE INCREASE.
OVER LAST YEAR.
Grand Forks, Sept 27.—The attend­
ance at the opening of the university
yesterday was 5v) per cent larger than
it was at the opening of the college
year '99. This is a very flattering
showing and far exceeds the expecta­
tions of the faculty, many members of
which had formed an opinion that the
attendance at the opening of the term
would not be as heavy as it was a year
ago, figuring that the fact that the
crops had proved somewhat disappoint­
ing would operate to lower the attend­
ance at the fall term at least The fact
that the attendance shows an increase
of 50 per cent oyer the opening last
year, and the further fact that last year
was the banner year of the university
makes the present outlook most flat­
tering as far as attendance during the
preS8nt year' is concerned. At the
law school several new students regis­
tered and practically all the old stu
dents are expected back.
OFFICERS OF W. C. T. U.
OFFICERS OF THE TEMPERANCE
UNION ELECTED AT THE AN
NUAL MEETING.
Devils Lake, Sept 28.—The most im­
portant work done at the W. C. T. U.
convention assembled in this city was
the election of state officers for the en­
suing year. The election was carried
on in a very systematic manner, with­
out a hitch, the following being the
officials elected: President Miss Eliza­
beth Preston, Tower City vice presi­
dent, Dr. Janette Hill Knox, Wahpe
ton corresponding secretary, Mrs. Car­
rie Allen, Grand Forks treasurer,
Mrs. Addie CaTr, Northwood. The
officers elected are the same ones Who
held the similar office the past year
with the exception of corresponding
secretary. Mrs. Emma F. Vail, To
wanda, who has held the last men­
tioned position for a number of years,
refused to again accept it on account
of her ill health.
ATTACKED BY TOUGHS.
ROOSEVELT AND PARTY AT­
TACKED BY A GANG OF TOUGHS
AT VICTOR, COLO.
Sept '.—Governor
Victor, Colo.,
Roosevelt spoke to a large audience
here yesterday and after the close of
the address an attempt was made by a
gang of toughs to mob him, and he was
saved from great personal violence by
the presence of a company of Rough
Riders, who were acting as a guard of
honor. It was thought thait the riot
was occasioned by a gang of ruffians
who were paiu for that purpose, as
it was, Roosevelt escaped very nar
rowly.
When Roosevelt left the hall where
the address was given the mob made a
rush, and he was Btruck several times
by flying missiles and once quite seri­
ously in the chest with a club. He
was surrounded by a company of
Rough Riders, and many of these were
seriously injured.

President Truesdale of the Lackawanna

Miners' Hopeful.
Philadelphia, Sept 27.—A railroad
official of this city who is authority
but who refuses to .consent to the use
of his name said this morning that-the
miners' strike had been practically set
tied. The terms would likely be made
known within twenty-four hours. "The
miners nfay be said to have won their
demands with the exception of the
recognition of the union," he said. It
is believed Archbishop Ryan's inter4
mediation has played a leading part
NEGOTIATING.
PRESIDENT TRUESDALE SAYS
THE STRIKE IS NOW IN THE
HANDS OF ARBITRATORS.

New York, Sept. 27.—At noon Presi­
dent Truesdale of the Delaware, Lack­
awanna & Western Railway stated
that the anthracite strike situation
was now in the bands of a person who
was negotiating a settlement. He was
told the report that the basis of award
for an advance of 10 per cent wages
was waiving claim to recognition and
said: "If the settlement is being made
on these terms it is not known to me.
The whole situation is now in the
hands of a capable person."
"Then the strike is being arbi­
trated?"
"That does not necessarily follow.
It is more in the line of mediation
than arbitration."
Asked if Hanna was the man* re­
ferred to he said "No, the man isn't
Hanna." ,,
"Has Archbishop Ryan been to see
you today?"
"Na"
Truesdale would- say nothing more.
WALL STREET OPINION.
WALL STREET FULL OF REPORTS
OF SETTLEMENT OF THE COALi
STRIKE.
New York, Sept. 27.—Wall street is
full of the report regarding the coal
strike today. The best opinion is that
the strike is on the verge of settlement
and that the announcement of an
agreement will oe made before the end
of the week. It is learned the oper­
ators will give an advance in wages of
10 per cent and President Mitchell of
the mine workers will waive claim to
recognition of the union. Mark Han­
na, it is said, has. pressed the question
of settlement and it is now in his
hands. A prominent Wall street man
said at noon today it would be well to
look to Hanna for news of settlement
of the strike. Coal men wont talk.
BETTER CONDITIONS.

Tampa, Fla., Sept. 27.—Eight hun­
