War la Almost Inevitable.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 7. War be
tween Turkey and Bulgaria la now re
garded here aa lnevltab'e. It la aven be
lieved thst the outbreak nf hostilities will
occur before tha end of Reptemjber.
It la not thought that there will be a
formal declaration of war. In view of
Bulgaria's statue, but that aome frontier
Incident will precipitates' .Ihe hostilities.
Tha Bulgarians and Macedonians resid
ing In Constantinople are in terror of
massacre. A large number of them were
arrested a few days ago and they have not
been reeaaed. An Insignificant Incident
might lead to massacre.
The terrible account received regarding
Hie conduct . of thft Turklah troop hnvn
not surprised the ofllcialB, but many who
hava hitherto been optimistic . In their
views now accept tha prevailing belief that
Turkey Is on the eve of a catastrophe.
A consular dispatch from Bitlonica aaya
that according to authentic Information !
h in...rrti.i in Mnnastir h been
practically stamped out. Raahl-Basnuks
assisted the regular troops In the work of
repression, which Is said to have been
carried out with sanguinary ruthlessness,
the object of the Turks being, apparently,
to exterminate not only the Bulgarian In
habitants, but all the Christiana of what
ever nationality.
Tnrks Destroy Villages.
SOFIA, Sept. 7. The revolutionary head
quarters received 'information today that
the Turks have burned or otherwise de
stroyed nearly all the villages In the dis
trict of Kastorla, near the Greek frontier.
The villages In that district were the
largest In Macedonia, each having from
1,000 to 1,000 Inhabitants. Among tha larg
est . burned was Zagorltchanl, Dumbenl,
Kenoniladl, Mokrent and Koslnets. Alto
gether about twenty-five villages In that
part of Macedonia have been destroyed.
It Is added that 300 women and children,
fugitives from Zagoritchanl, went to the
Turkish commander of the district to seek
asslstanoe and protection from the Baahl
llaiouks. The commander promised them protec
tion, but when the fugitives left the Baahl
pasouka pursued, outraged and killed
many of the women and children.'
The Turkish government concentrated
lS.ouO soldiers In the Kastorla district, who
are openly burning villages.
In official circles there Is a suspicious ab
sence of news from the Interior of Mace
donla. and alao from Adrtanople, and It la
feared that the conditions there are stead
lly becoming worse.
Weald Korea Bulgaria to 'War.
The Macedonian organisations are strain
ing every nerve to force Bulgaria Into a
war. Iarge and small bands are crossing
the frontier of northern Macedonia, where
General Zontcheff and Colonel Jankoff are
organising tha Insurrectionary movement.
which Is expected to break out In the val
ley of the Struma before the end of the
week. The' Macedonian committees are
prosecuting an active campaign to raise
funds In, Bulgaria. They are addressing
letters to everybody In a position to con
tribute to the causa. The applications
usually do not refer to the revolutionary
movement but ask aid for the starving and
homeless fugitives from Macedonia. Where
wealthy cltlsens decline to subscribe the
organisations do not hesitate to make
strong representations. A rich merchant
of Phillppopolls was recently told that un
less he contributed 15.000 his house would
be blown up. Several fights are reported
from the district of Losengrad. At tha
ltashl Baiouk village of Sasara the Turks
lost twenty men. At Teraldere a band
fought 3U0 soldiers all day with the result
that the Turks had thirty-seven men killed
while the Insurgent's loss wss five.
At Prespan In the Okrlda district fighting
has long been proceeding between Insurg
ent bands and an army of 30.000 Turks. The
latter are reported to have lost more than
Si0 killed or wounded. Another engagement
lasting all day haa been fought at Pry
blllstl, Monaatlr vtllayet. In which the
Turkish loss was given at forty and the In
surgent loss at five. A band led by Jankoff
Stoyanoff has destroyed the village of Oor
Inckavleve, Carlosengrade, a notorious
haunt of Turkish brigands. The newspa
per Poshta asserts that all the vlllagee in
the district of Leron are burning. Accord
ing to revolutionary estimates. Turkey h:n
now in Macedonia an army of 73,000. with
S.K0 horses and 440 guns.

THEODORE SHAFFER IS SEEN
President of Amalgamated Associa

ing; and Agraln Disappears.
POUGHKEEPS1E. N. Y., Sept. 7. Presi
dent Theodore Shaffer of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron Workers, who has been
missing from his home In Pittsburg for
some time, surprised the labor unions of
this city today by appearing at the Labor
day celebration. He had been announced
aa the orator, but on account of the pub
lished accounts of his disappearance Her
man Robinson of New Tork, secretary of
the New York Central Labor union, was In
vited to take his place. Just before Mr.
Robinson was Introduced, Mr. Shaffer ar
rived In a carriage and made hta way to
the platform, not recognized by the crowd.
He looked pale and showed signs of ex
haustion. 1
After Mr. Robinson's address President
Shaffer was Introduced. In a husky voice
he said: .
The thing I wonld rt. rladly do la to
keep still and say nothlruf. Two years ago
I made a mistake by trying to make 13,0t)
people hear me, and as a result of such ef
forts I am reduced physically. Nine months
ago I made three speeches In one day, and
I will not allow people to use me up In
that way.
That was all the reference he made to
himself, and he then proceeded, with evi
dent difficulty, to make a brief speech.
When asked to make a statement, he said
that he was anxious to make one and ar
ranged with the reporters to meet them at
the Nelson house at 7 o'clock tonight. He
was then driven away In company with
John Bradley, a prominent labor man. It
was found that he had not been at the
Nelson house at all and a thorough search
of the city failed to reveal any trace of
either Mr. Shaffer or Mr. Bradley. Mr.
Shaffer hurried away from the city.
DROVE TEAM WITHOUT CARD
Excuse for Assault Upon Proprietor of

pany. CHICAGO. Sept. 7.-J. J. Thornton, the
proprietor of a warehouse and van com-
nanv. waa ajiHAulted tndav riuHnv th.
labor parade because he' was driving one of
his own teams without having a union card
In his possession. .
Mr. Thornton hitched three horses to one
of his vans in the morning and took a score
or more of children out to see the parade,
He sttempted to haul nothing but his
guests. For three hours he stood with his
wagon at the corner of Jackson boulevard
and Clark street and watched the parade,
and when he attempted to drive away he
was stopped by some of the teamsters In
the parade, who asked if he had a union
card. He tried to explain that he needed
no card, that It was his own team and that
he waa doing no hau'ing. Several hundred
men gathered around the wagon and at
tempted to pull him off. An escort of po
nce enabled him to get several blocks
away, when a mob numbering fully 1,000
caught up with him. He whipped up his
horses and for nearly a mile he was pur
sued, when finally the mob cut the harness
of his horses Into small pieces, beat the
animals with canes, compelling them to
run away, and then beat Thornton badly,
Thornton employs a large number of
teamsters, all of whom are members of the
union, and has never had any trouble with
the organisation before today.

Gold Is Taken From the Groaad
and Prepared for Commer

DEAD WOOD, S. D.. Sept. 7. Delegates
to the American Mining congress began to
arrive In large numbers on the late trains
last night and at noon today the registra
tion books In the office of Secretary Mahon
of the mining congress contained the names
of several hundred.
Interest In the proceedings of the congress
was given an Impetus by the arrival of
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw and Gov

noon. Other prominent arrivals Included a
number of those who will deliver addresses
before the congress, notably John L. Web
ster of Omaha. E. W. Parker of Washing

Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., accompsnled by
Captain Seth Bullock, superintendent of the
Black Hills forest reserve, whose guest
he has been for several weeks, wae an In
terested spectator about the streets of
Deadwood today, taking in the splendid
exhibit of Black Hills ores at the mining
palace, and meeting many mining men here
to attend the congress. It was raining and
young Roosevelt presented a picturesque
appearance In a yellow slicker and rain
helmet.
A reception to delegates, speakers and
miners will be given at S o'clock tonight
at Hotel Franklin.
"haw Sees Mlaes.
Secretsry Shaw today showed Black Hills
people that he Is strenuous. He said ho
was feeling well and enjoying the trip ex
ceedingly. The secretary reached Deadwood about
noon and went to the home of Congressman
E. W. Martin, whose guest he will be while
here. Soon after dinner, accompanied by
a young son of the congressman, the sec
retary climbed to the top of White Rocks,
overlooking Deadwood from the south side,
and which have an elevation of Just one
mile above sea level, the apex being 7X0
feet above the street level. On his way he
passed through Mount Morlah cemetery,
where "Wild Bill" Hickok and "Calamity"
Jane le burled side by side.
Returning from his climb the secretary
was taken to the Franklyn hotel, where he
shook hands with a number of prominent
Deadwood men and others who are here to
attend the American Mining congress. Mr.
Shaw said he wanted to see all he could In
his limited time and especially desired to
go to Lead and see something of the vast
mining Industry there. So. accompanied
by Congressman Martin, Master Martin
and a press representative, he started at 4
o'clock by trolley railroad.
At Lead the party was conducted by a
mine superintendent through many upper
workings and plants of one of the great
mining companies, climbing dark lofty
stairways ef noisy stamp mills., where ore
was seen through various stages, from
crushers, through 800 stamps and over
amalgamated plates. He watched the ore
hoisted from lower levels of mines, saw
enormous hoisting engines. Inspected cya
nide plants, all of which are upon so large
a scale that the Inspection entailed long
walks and many steep climbs. The secre
tary evinced intense Interest at every step.
At one shaft which penetrated to a depth
of' 1,300 feet, the secretary looking down
and noting the rapidity with which the
i cages were raised and lowered, turned and
i said to Congressman Martin: "Oh, I
should like to go down," a wish he ex-
pressed more than once during the hurried
trip. But time was too limited to permit
his going down into the mines.
At one testing room a test of ore waa
made solely for tha secretary's eiincatlon.
a sample being crushed In miniature, one
stamp mill being propelled by compressed
air, bust being "panned" In peculiar old
fashioned gold pan, which early miners
used In California.
Secretary Drawn a Blank
Mr. Shaw leaned closely over the pan as
the eccentric motion of the tester gradually
washed out worthless matter, watching for
J "color," but the test happened to be "lean
i horse," and the tester explained tnat ne
had "drawn a blank
As he looked Into the pan the secretary
j many times expressed his fear that gold
j was getting away, as he saw tiny particles
' of glistening pyrites float out over the edge
I of the pan.
A few minutes were also spent In the
Hearst library, where the secretary was
greatly Interested in the fine exhibit of
' oreB from 0110 r thB large mines, so ar-
ranged aa to show different stakes at dif
ferent levels of the mine.
Return to Deadwood waa made by the
narrow gauge steam railroad, the secretary
riding In the cab of the locomotive In or
der to get the best view of the scenery. Be
sides, he said, he would rather ride on an
1 tnan Bny other way; the greater
the speed the greater his pleasure.
The secretary, In response to a question,
said that even with his knowledge of the

NORTH SIDERS FAVOR GAS
Improvement Club Adopts a strong
Resolntlon on the Lighting
(location.
After a lapse of two months the North
Side, Improvement club's weekly meetings
have been resumed. The meeting last even
ing was largely attended. It had been
called especially to discuss the proposition
of an extension of the electric lighting
franchise. W. I. Klerstead early In the
meeting Introduced a resolution that It was
the sense of the club that no extension of
contract should be granted. He spoke at
some length on the question. E. F. More
arity also spoke In favor of the adoption
of the resolution. There was practically
no opposition to the resolution of Mr. Kler
stead, which, after debate, was adopted
unanimously. It reads:
Resolved, That the members of the North
Omaha Improvement club are opposed to
the extension of the electric lighting con
tract for the reason that It will prevent
municipal ownership, which we believe will
be obtained by tne time the present nttbt
ln? contract exclres. We are further on
posed to the monopoly of the lighting of
the cltv by the electric light company, for
the reason that we believe better results
mav be obtained by competition, anil we
much prefer the Welsbaeh gas post. In the
residence portion. Instead of the poles and
wires of the electric light company, which
are a dangerous nuisance, detracting much
from the beauty of our residence streets
Resolutions condemning the action of the
Grocers' association in opposing the estsh
Ushment of the new market of Capitol
avenue were Introduced by Mr. Johnson
and unanimously adopted. The club voted
to send delegates to the next regular meet
ing of the Central Improvement club.

not to permit the use of schools by Im
provement clubs. The ruling wss made on
the request of the West Omaha Improve
ment club for the use of certain school
rooms once a week, the club having been
forced to relinquish its former quarters. A
report adverse to granting the request was
brought In by the committee to which it
hvd been referred, the rer-scn being that
if granted similar requests would follow
In 'various parts of the city which would
entail difficulties sr.d annoyance Inimical
to the best Interests, of tha schools. There
fore It was decided not to set the precedent
and to revoke all previous privileges of the
kind that have been granted.
The board held one nf the. shortest weet-
lngs on record, usiiuj but twenty-five min
utes, earhewlng all debate and doing none
but routine business. r

SYRACrSE, N. Y.. Sept. 7. FresWlen.
Roosevelt was today accorded a magnificent
reception by the cltlsens of his own state.
From the moment of his arrival In this city
this morning at 9:30 until he stepped aboard
his fcpeclnl train at 10:30 tonight to return
to Oyster Buy he was given a continual
ovation. Syracuse never before held such
it throng as assembled hero today to greet
the president. Fully 100,000 persons from
all sections of New York Btuta tested the
carrying rapacity of the varioua lines of
railroad and many additional thousands
came from the country contiguous to tha
rlty.
Everywhere In the city and at the grounds
of the New York State Fair association the
president was received with enthusiasm. As
he drove through the streets the tens of
thousands of people banked along the routo
greeted him with continuous cheers. Th
American flag flouted In the breexn from
almost every window. Tha great throng
was handled admirably by the local police
and militia and no serious accidents were
recorded. It was a busy day for the pres
ident, as well as a day full of Interesting
Incidents, in the morning after his ar
rival he reviewed from a beautifully dec
orated stand In Hanover squsre a great
parade of the labor organizations of the
city. He then went to the state fair
grounds, where he delivered to 60,000 people
an address on good citizenship snd the re
lation of labor and capital to the state.
He was the principal guest at luncheon at
the clubhouse on the grounds, a luncheon
attended by every Important state official
except Governor Odell, who could not be
present on account of a previous engage
ment; reviewed a fine parade of the Na
tional Letter Carriers' association, and fra
ternal bodies, and was the guest tonight
of former Senator Frank Hlscock at a din
ner attended by about thirty persons In
vited to meet the president.
Ptesldent Roosevelt Speaks.
A citizens' committee of 100 occupied the
speakers' stand, promptly upon his arrival,
the pretldcnt was introduced by Lieutenant
Governor Hlgglns, president of tha state
fair commission. After cheering bad sub-
aided,, the, president spoke as fallows;
In sneaktne on I. shoe Hn n.t tn imm.l
fair of the New York State Agricultural
association, It Is natural to keep especially
In mind the two bodies who comnosa h
majority of our people and upon whose wel
fare depends the welfare of the entire stst.i.
11 circumstance are sucn that thrift, en
orgy, industry and forethought enable the
farmer, the tiller of the soil, on the one
hand and the wageworker on the other, to
keep themselves, thrir wives and their chil
dren In reasonable comfort, then the state
is well off, and w can be assured that
the other classes In the community will
likewise nrosiwr. On the other hand. If
there is in the lona run a luflr nf
perlty among the two classes named, then
mi miir prunpeniy in sure to De more
seeming than real. It has been our pro-
i.j., iivj Huim MMiuno tiB a nation tnat
hitherto, dlareirardlna ernentlnnal nertiH
of depression and the normal ana Inev
itable fluctuations, there has been on the
whole from the healnnlne of our rnvvm.
ment to the present day a progressive bet
terment nllke In the condition of the tiller
of the soil tnd In the condition of the man

ports himself and his family, and endeavors
n uring up ins cnuaren so that they m.iv
be at least as well off an. find It nmaihu
better off. than he himself has been. There
are, or course, exceptions, but as a whole
the standard of living among the farmers
of our country has risen from generatlin
to generation, and the wealth represented
m iim mmm nns eieaouy increased, wiillo
the wsges of labor have likewise risen,
both as regards the actual monev paid nml
as repards the purchasing power which
that money represents.
Prosperity's Blessing General.
Bide by side with this Increase In thi
prosperity of the wage-worker and the til
ler of the soil has aona on a irrtMt lnet,
In the prosperity among the bun-a men
ana among certain Classes or p';tssirnt!
men; and the prosperity of thrrs too;i has
been partly the cause and nartly the mm-
seinifnce of the prosperity of trmt nd
wage-wnrser. it can not be l.o ofen re
peated that in this country. In the iong
run, we all of us tend to go up or so down
together. If the average of weli ijel-is U
high, it means that the averace ,v,u-o-worker.
the average farmer, and tne aver
age buslnexs man are all alike well oi'f. If
the average shrinks, there Is not one of
these classes which will not feel the shrink
age. Of course there are always some men
wno are not arrccted ry good times. Just
as there are some men who are tint nf
fected by bad times. Hut speaking broadlv.
It la true that If prosperity comes all of
us lena to snare more or less therein, and
that If adversity comes, each of us, to a
greater or lens extetit. feels the tension.
rnfortunately, In thH world the innocent
frequently lind themselves obliged to pay
some of the penalty for the misdeeds of
the guilty: snd so If hard tlme.s come,
whether they be due to our o fault or
to our misfortune, whether they be due to
some burst of speculative frenzy that has
raused a portion of the business world to
lose Its head a loss which no legislation
can possibly supply or whether thev bo
due to any lack of wisdom In a portion of
the world of labor In each case the troulile
once started Is fHt more or leas in every
walk of life.
Iloctrlae of Independence,
It is bll-esHentlul to the continuance nf
our healthy national life that we should
recognize this community of Interest among
our people. The welfare of each of us im
dependent fundamentally upon the welfare
of all of us, and therefore In public life
that man la the best representative of em h
of us who seeks to do good to each by
doing good to all; In other words, whose
endeavor It is, not to represent any special
class and promote merely that clast's self
ish intercuts, but to represent all true and
honest men of all sections snu all cUkbcs
and to work for their Interests by working
for our common country.
We can keep our government on a sane
and healthy basis, we can mske and keep
our social system what It should be, only
on condition of Judging each man, not ks
a member of a class, but on his worth as a
man. It Is an Infamous thing In our Ameri
can life, and fundamentally treacherous in
our Institutions, to apply to any man any
test save that of bis personal worth, or
to draw between two sets of men any dis
tinction save the distinction of conduct, tho
distinction that maras off those who do
well and wisely from those who do 111 and
foollKhly. There are good cltlsens and bsil
citizens In every class as in every locality,
and the attitude of decent people toward
great public and social questions should be
determined, not by the accidental questions
of employment or locality, but by those
deep-set principles which represent the Su
nernioet souls uf men.
The failure in public and In private life
thus to treat each man on Ills own merits,
the recognition i,f this government ss being
either for the poor as such or for the rich
ss such, would prove fatal to our republic,
as such failure and such recognition have
always proved fatal In the past to other
republics. A healthy republican govern
ment must rest upon Individuals, not upon
classes or seoiioivs. As soon aa tt become
