SAVERS SlOGfSTS TO SPECIAL
SHAFFER SAYS STRIKB
And Culls Upon All Unionists Interested
ami Coworker* to Do So.
«Is your mamma cross? Mine it
awful cross! Does your mamma my
'HushJ' when you laugh or make a
little bit of a noise ? My mamtns does.
She has nerves, papa says."
The mother who overheard this ac-
count of herself would feel heart-broken
to think of the shadow cast by her misenr
on those she loved. Yet her condition is
real. Her nerves are strained to the
point of torture. Lack of appetite and
loss of sleep increase her weakness.
Such a condition may, in general be
traced to diaeaae of the delicate womanly
organism, a cure for which is found in
the usa of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. It establishes regularity, heals
inflammation and ulceration ana cures
female weakness. It tranquilizes the
nerves, encourages the appetite and in-
duces refreshing sleep.
"I bad been a constant sufffcrer from uterine
disease for five year*,* writes Mrs. J. A. Steorts,
Yankee Dam, Clay Co., West Virginia, "and
for six months previous to taking your mediciue
1 was not out of my room. Could not walk or
•tand. aa there was «.ush pain and drawing in
left side and bearing-down weight In region of
uterus, accompanied with soreness. I suffered
constantly with headache, paiu in back, shoul-
der#, arms and cheat; and could not sleep nor
lie down. When 1 had taken three bottles of
the medicine the periods were regulated. I
was not so nervous, could sleep well, and the
pain in side and bearing down had vanished.
My health is better at this time than it has been
In five years."

Austin, Tex., Aug. 7.—Following is
synopsis of Gov. Bayers' message to
legislature:
1. The appropriations for the sup-
port of the state government and for
the public services:
The controller estimates the net re-
ceipts to the general revenue for each
of the two years, beginning S?pt. I,
1901, at $2,625,000. The cash balance
in the treasury to this fund on the 2nd
instant was $1,365,294.57. Deducting
Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 7.—The die Is
cast. The battle of the giants is on In
earnest, whether to ignominous defeat
of one side or the other or compromise
emains to be seen. Up to Tuesday
evening it has been merely a skirmish,
each side trying to find the vulnerable
spot in each other's armor. Now it Is
different, brought about by the actual
Issuance of President Shaffer's Ion*
talked of strike order. This order was
promulgated Tuesday evening to take
effect after the last turn of the mills
on Aug. 10. What the result will be nr
man can foretell, but, Judging by the
expressed determination of both par-
ties to the controversy, the battle will
be waged fast and furiously. Much
money will be lost, thousands upon
thousands of men will be idle, greal
suffering is looked for, even blood died
and death are possible and feared. The
strike call includes practically al
Amalgamated men in the llaitec

this sum and the estimates of the con- J to call upon ail Amalgamated and oth-

there will be an aggregate, in general
revenue, of $5,818,968.68 for the two
years ending Aug. 31, 1903, against
which appropriations to the extent of
$5,500,000 may be made. Beyond this
limit the appropriations cannot safe-
ly go without danger to the credit of
the treasury.

priations for the penitentiaries. I have

The division of the state into judicial
districts is also a constitutional re-
quirement, without limitation, how-
ever, as to number. It cannot be ques-
tioned that these districts, as now
constituted, are very unequal as to the
amount of work to be performed some
of the judges being overburdened,
while others are not employed but lit-
tle more than half of the year. A re-
adjustment of the districts should be
had.
It is earnestly recommended that the
apportionment of the state into con-
gressional, senatorial, representative
and Judicial districts be made by the
legislature at its present session
I regret to have to advise the legis
latum of the temporary suspension of
the First National bank of Austin,
which was the agency employed by the
state treasurer and secretary of state,
as I am informed, to collect remit-
tances to them.
I beg to assure the legislature that.
In my judgment, there is not a taint
of dishonesty or dishonor on the part i
of either of the officials named. Each
t i them is under a large and entirely
solvent bond to the state.
I have requested the treasurer and
secretary of state to furnish me. as ,
soon as practicable, full and complete
statements of both accounts. So soon
as received, they will be forwarded to
the legislature for its information.

"You will be told that you have sign
ed contracts, but you never agreed to
surrender those contracts to the Unit-
ed States steel corporation. Its of-
ficers think you were sold to them just
as the mills were, contracts and all.
'•Remember, before you agreed to
i any contract, you took an obligation
to the Amalgamated association. It
now calls you to help in this hour of
need.
Unless the trouble is settled on on
before Saturday, Aug. 10, 1901, the mills
will close when the last turn is made
| on that day.
"Brethren, this is the call to pre-
serve our organization. We trust you
and need you. Come and help us, and
may right come to a just cause. Fra-
ternally yours, T. J. SHAFFER."
President Shaffer added this state-
ment:

tional Steel National Tube and Feder-

El Reno, Ok., Aug. 7.—The last act
in the opening of Indian land in tha
; Kiowa-Comanche reservations began
; Tuesday, when the winners in last
i week's lottery were permitted to tilu ! time
on their claims. The tiling began at
K1 Reno for the El Reno district and
at Fort Sill for the Lawton land dis-
trict. At each place 125 of the lucky
j ones were permitted to file in the or-
der that their names were drawn from
the wheels. The tiling at the rate of
250 daily will continue until the entire
13,000 claims have been disposed of.
It is estimated that at least 2000 or
3000 claims drawn in the lottery will
never be tiled on. There will undoubt-
edly be a lively scramble for them by
tin* thousands of people who did not
win in the lottery. The o*
Tuesday also the auction sale by the
government o; town lots at Anadarko,
Hobart and Lawton began.
Birmingham, Ala,, Aug. 8.—With ag.
onizing screams and his eyes bulging
from his head, John Wesley Penning-
ton, a negro, was burned at the stake
near Enterprise, Ala., before a crowd
of 500 enraged and determined citi-
zens of Coffee county Wednesday
morning.
The assemblage was composed of
both whites and blacks, and though
the suffering wretch pleaded for mer-
cy and frantically endeavored to break
the chains that tightly bound him,
not a trace of sympathy was shown on
the faces that peered at him through
the flames. Pennington had commit-
ted a brutal assault upon Mrs. J. C.
iJavis, wife of one of the most prom-
inent farmers of Coffee county, and
confessed his guilt.
The crime was committed Wednes
day evening while Mrs Davis was
gathering vegetables in her gardeu.
She was stooping over plucking toma-
toes when Pennington slipped up be-
hind her and threw her ou the ground.
He choked the fear-stricken woman
into insensibility, accomplished his
purpose and fled to the woods near
liy.
As soon as she regained he;' senses
Mrs. Davis crawled to the house and
told her husband what had happened.
A large posse was quickly organized
and with bloodhounds they chased the
negro until early in the morning, when
he was captured in a swamp, bound
hand and foot and taken back to the
Davis home for identification.
He was identified by Mrs. Davis,
and confessed.
Evidently expecting the confession,
j several of the citizens had already
driven a stake into the ground, and
as the men appeared with Pennington
both whites and blacks were piling
brushwood around the iron pipe.
The negro saw his doom, and with
an awful scream of terror, fell to the
ground in a faint. He was quickly re-
vived and dragged to the stake, while
the crowd stood silently by. The
frightened man was limp, and had to
be held up whil<' t' chains.wiere fas
• d body.
the cry was
°d back, a
he Pile, and
with on to reed upon, t|u,« uu.> name
soon burst into a roaring* fire.
The terrified ne.gro qgain pleaded
for mercy in the mast agonizing tones,
and prayed to God that those around
him might perish. He then called
upon his Maker for forgiveness, and
as the flames leaped up and encircled
his neck an unearthly shriek was
heard and the man's eyes almost
bulged out of the sockets. By this
the fire had gained such head-
way that nothing could be seen ex-
cept a wiggling motion in the center
of a circle of fire.
A deathly silence enveloped the
awful sight, and in a few minutes the
flames had sufficiently subsided to see
that Pennington's head had fallen for-
ward and hung limp over the iron
chain. The body was quickly con-
sumed, and all of Pennington that re-
mained was a pile of ashes.
