A IJial jstell taown humorist, Robert 'Buiette, says the boy who smokes dgatfittes it like a cipher with the rim otf.

Many other, people share, ihis opinion. The educators do vnpt put a high value on the cigarette py. jjf. David Btarr Jordan made the Qtatetnebt: "The boy who begins itajoking cigarettes before he is 15 nev Ver enters the life of the world. When boy are taking hold of the world's worjc he Is concerned with the and the undertaker." The gov ernment of the United States has pro acquainted with, the justice of our cause and cannot but feel a desire for our success.

Therefore, I advise you to treat the soldiers with courtesy and consideration and refrain from interfering in any way or abusing them. Make friends of them rather than foes. (This is also directed to those who sympathize with our cause.) The operators cannot defeat us In this struggle if the law is respected and observed. Peaceful methods will win the strike. The operators are now: 23,000,000 tons of coal short of the market demands; and, should a settlement be effected at once, tney cannot hope to make up the loss this winter.

For them to continue their unreasonable attitude ot "no concessions," "unconditional surrender of the miners," will be suicidal. They are defeated, and only "pride rules their will" and causes them to continue the same stand. Tbe "rule to ruin" policy will be set aside by the men who have money invested in the anthracite region when they realize that if the fight is carried on much longer there will scarcely be anything left worth fighting for. Tbe markets will be lost, and, while the miner may move his family, the operator cannot move the mines and breakers to other fields. Pray God to help you; the American public to support you; stand firm In the strength of unity; "quit yourselves like men," and the victory shall be ours.

Fraternally yours, T. D. Nicholls. P. S.

Cures dyspepsia, con itlpation; Invigorates the whole sys tem. Never Knew Painkiller to Fall The troops alighted and were marched 1 inside the fence surrounding the col liery.

Here they remained lolterln? about for some two hours. There wao no work for them to do, the companies having been ordered to the place slm ply as a precautionary step, in antlcl pation of trouble. While the soldiers were inthe colliery a squad of 30 workmen arrived and were taken down the shaft. It was said that they, were going to mine and load coal. The breaiker was not In operation this morning at least not while the soldiers wcrp there.

Shortly after eight o'clock the cldlers left the colliery. Outside the lence they found a crowd of strikers gathered. A deputy sheriff accompanied the soldiers, and be read the riot act to them, whereupon they dispersed. Co. returned to the armory in West Pittston, while the other three companies were taken back to the armory in Wilkesbarre.

After dinner, Co. was taken, in special electric cars on the West Side line, to the armory in Wilkesbarre. Early this morning, another detachment of troops, consisting of Cos. A and under command of Colonel McKee, went to Nanticoke on a special Jersey Central train and made a tour of the collieries in that vicinity. No trouble had been reported from that section, and the visit of the troops was simply a precautionary step.

Peace reigned at all the points covered by the soldiers. At one place the soldiers came across a large crowd of strikers. Sheriff Jacobs, who accompanied the guardsmen, found one miner carrying a billy and placed him under arrest. He was brought to Wilkesbarre and will be given a hearing before Alderman Pollock on the charge of carrying concealed deadly weapons. During the middle of the forenoon, the companies returned to the armory.

There were no calls for the presence of tbe troops during the day. Two disturbances have occurred at Stunqervllle since yesterday morning's affair. One took place between 5 and 6 o'clock last evening. Joseph Adams, of Lincoln avenue, Sturmerville. was returning to his home from the Exeter colliery, where he Is employed as a teamster, and when in the vicinity of the old pistol factory was stoned by a crowd of men who were loitering about.

One of the stones struck him under the eye. Inflicting a painful, but not serious, cut He was also struck on the shoulder with a club. There was quite a stir in the main portion of Sturmerville this morning about 9 o'clock, and when the dust Oi battle had cleared away an Italian was hustling out of town as fast as he could, after receiving a severe beating. The man was seen coming through the town and was thought to be a non unionist wnose nome is in West Pittston, but who has been working at No. 14 colliery, of the Erie Co.

A large crowd, which had been banging around the street all morn Ins, started in pursuit of the man. Ac cording to the story of men who were on the scene, tbe Italian ran up Grant street, and, stopping at a house near the railroad, went in for shelter from the crowd. His pursuers waited out side for a short time, and then started inside for him. The house was thor oughly searched, and the 'man they were after finally located in the attic. He was hustled out of tbe bouse, given a severe thrashing and then stoned out of town.

Just how badly he was injured it was impossible to learn This occurred just about the time the troops were preparing to leave the West Pittston station. As mentioned in last evening's Ga zette, warrants have been sworn out before 'Squire Ehret for the arrest of 27 men who Implicated in yesterday's trouble at the Exeter colliery. The in formation against the men was given by Superintendent Owens, and Attorney James L. Morris looked after the company's internets. The warrants charge the men with riot, felonious wounding and several other counts.

and they were placed In tbe hands of Constable William Darrow for service. Two of the prisoners were brought in last evening. They were Patrick Brann, of Sturmerville. and Patrick Loftus, of West Pittston, both officers in the Exeter colliery local. The 'Squire held each under $3,000 ball.

Patrick Dunn furnished bail for Brann and Mr. Dunn and Mr. Brann went on Loftus's bail piece. This morning, more men were brought In. They were John S.

Schofleld and John Stead, of Stur, merville. The former was held under $2,000 ball and the latter under $1,000 ball. Stead's father furnished ball for him and for Schofleld. Stead is the well knowp young base ball pitcher for the West Pittston team. The remaining warrants will be served as fast as the men wanted can be found.

THIRTEENTH REGIMENT BUSY. Detachments Called Out to Several Points in Lackawanna Region. The Thirteenth regiment, which is in camp at Olyphant for the purpose of assisting the sheriff of Lackawanna county in the mainteo.anjce,..Qt order in his balliwicK, has been kept busy since It was ordered out. hree call? for help have already, been responded to detachments of soldiers: The first came from the Johnson at Prlceburg, where tho strikers were holding up a train with obstructions and making threats against the train hands. Major Field and.two companies hurried to the place on a special train They found that 100 yards of the track bad been blocked with great stone boulders.

It took 50 soldiers one hour to clear the track. A great crowd ot men and women jeered' the soldiers while they did the work. A detach ment was sent to the Raymond colliery, near Archbald( but their ser vices were not About 5.S0 p. two Hungarians were returning from work at the Temple Iron Co. Sterrick Creek colliery, at Jessup when they were chased by a crowd of foreigners.

The non unionists fired several shots at their assailants, and this brought out a great crowd, similar oc enrrences were reported from various parts of the valley. In several Instances non union men were severely beat en. All of the disturbances, took jlac? within five miles of the regimental camp. Colonel Watres has patrols out in all directions, ready to prevent dls turbances. and has two trains con istantly ready to respond to long dis tance calls.

There are 160 men stiu absent from camp, including the regi mental band, which has refused to turn out The missing men are being brought in as fast as details can find them. Some of tbe absentees are sat isfactorily accounted for, but others are known to nbsent on account of unwillingness do soldier duty in tbe community in which they live. Chief Musician Bauer is to be court mar tialed on the charge of conduct detri mental to the discipline of the guard The two guardsmen who were charged with assaulting a couple of non union men within a few hours after the soldiers reached camp were given a hear ing before a court martial. They were found guilty of unsoldierly conduct and will be discharged from the ser vice. As soon as they leave the camp they will be arrested on crimina? charges to be preferred by tbe officer? of the D.

ft H. Co. The Thirteenth camp is being conducted very rigidly No one, not even an officer, is permit ted to cross the lines without a pass Civilians are strictly ruled out, unles; havlng business with the officers. Wo men are absolutely forbidden to enter the camp. Not even the wives of the officers will be given passes.

Every arrangement within reason is belnft made for the comfort of tbe soldiers Good rations are being issued in plen ty, cook shanties are being erected water pipes laid, and electric light wires strung. Telephone and telegrapt service was established yesterday. A searchlight will be installed on an eminence near the camp, so that th men will be aided in their work at night. The hospital is still without a patient. The men are making prepara tions for a long stay.

They have no idea how long they will be required to remain on duty. John Wenzell was kicked to death this morning by a mob at Olyphant, Tbe affair occurred at Grassy Island within a mile of where the troops are quartered, between 7 and 8 o'clock. Wenzell, who was formerly president of tbe Grassy Island local, U. M. W.

fell into the hands of a mob and was kicked Info Insensibility, being left on tbe street in an unconscious condition. He was found shortly afterward and taken to his home, where he died about noon. Many of the soldiers are today suf fering from rheumatism, on account of sleeping in damp quarters. The tents of the companies were drenched with rain last night. Today, oil stover are being set up in many of the tents SOLDIERS IN SUSQUEHANNA.

Two Companies of Thirteenth Sent to Forest City Today. There are but few anthracite col lieries in Susquehanna county, yet tho men employed at those and who are on strike have become so turbulent that Sheriff Maxey last night aske? Governor Stone to send soldiers tc Forest City. The Governor, after con suiting with Colonel Watres, com mander Of the Thirteenth regiment decided to grant' the request of the sheriff, and this morning at 4 o'clock two companies of the Thirteenth, un der command of Major Field, proceed ed on a special train to Forest City. The trouble that resulted in Sheriff Maxey calling on the Governor for aid occurred at No. 2 colliery, of the Hill side Coal and Iron In Forest City This colliery started work yesterday a number of men having left tbe ranks of tbe union and returned work.

The strikers became very bit ter over tbe action of these men, and when the workmen ventured outside the colliery grounds at dinrer tlma they were hooted and stontci. When evening came a crowd of sewi al hun dred congregated near the and when the workmen came forth they were set upon. They ran and the mob ran after them throwing stones and clubs. Brought to bay, some of tbe pursued men halted and, drawing their revolvers, fired. Evidently they fired in tbe air for no one was hurt.

The firing held the crowd back long enough to allow the men' to reach their homes. Sheriff Maxey was pres ent but was powerless to do any thing to stay the mob. He bad a on ference with tbe burgess after rioting and as the streets were filled with excited men the burgess ssued an order directing every saloon in the town to close Its doors and he sent out officers to see that his order was obeyed. A number of special of ficers andr deputle were sworn in to preserve order for the night and Sher iff Maxey then called up Governo Stone on the telephone and asked that troops be sent at once to Forest City. The detachment of troops that went to Forest City was composed of Cos and B.

They made a tour of investi gation and found everything quiet During the course of the morning, Co returned to the regimental quarter? at Olyphant, but Co. remained or duty at Forest City. 8TATEMENT FROM NICHOLL8. District President's Views Regarding the Presence of the Troops. National President Mitchell refuses to make any comment publicly concerning the presence of the soldiers in Luzerne and Lackawanna, but Dis trict President Thomas D.

Nicholls last evening gave out the following statement, which he sent to every lo cal in bis district: Scranton, Sept 24. 1902. Greeting: Whereas, A portion of the State militia being on duty and quartered In our midst I deem it proper to ad vise you of our wishes regarding your attitude toward them. The mere presence of the soldiers cannot operate for or against us if the law is carried out Their duties are prescribed by law, and their officers must direct them lawfully. They must obey all lawful orders of their superior officers while on duty, but they cannot be ordered to assist the opera tors by any unlawful acta.

The majority; It not all of them work for a living; have lived in our are ment, and possession was taken immediately. The building is well adapted for the purpose, there being offices partitioned telephone connections and other conveniences. 8HERIFF JACOBS'8 STATEMENT. Explains to the Public Why He Felt Called Upon to Call Out Troops. Sheriff Jacobs, of Luzerne county, has issued the following statement to the public, defining his position and showing why he felt it necessary to call on the Governor for assistance: "The law says that the 'sheriff Is at his peril bound to keep the peace and bis failure to maintain the peace must necessarily result in measures more I hesitated a long time before taking the action I did, on account of the expense incident to tbe taking away of a large body of men from their Caily vocations.

I considered It my duty not to call for the assistance of troops until I had exhausted every other practical method of keeping the peace and protecting citizens In their persons and property. With my available force of 30 sheriffs it was impossible for me to respond to the various reasonable demands of citizens for protection. "We attempted to disperse mobs by persuasion and peaceable methods. Wr. found that many of the lawless were dally having less respect for our authority.

Inasmuch as I became satisfied that, in order to disperse the riotous It was probable that It would be necessary to use force that might result In. people being I considered it my duty under the law to call for the assistance of a disciplined body of men rather than depend upon, our law abiding citizens, the greater number of whom would b3 undisciplined and inexperienced. To call upon citizens at all hours of the day and night to suppress the disorders as they have been occurring in the county would be the most ineffective way of upholding the law. The violations of the law became so numerous and many of the depredations so outrageous that I could not uphold the law in this community without more assistance, and, therefore, I called upon the Governor to send me some troops."

The Pittston and West Pittston companies, contrary, to expectation bunked in their own armories last night. The two Pittston companies were aroused early this morning and' went to Wilkesbarre on special street cars that were sent here for that purpose. Co. was in charge of Captain Dougher, Second Lieutenant English assisting. At the time the company left 22 members had reporte.

and nine others went to the armory in Wilkesbarre during the morning First Lieutenant Collier and Sergeant Marriott were left here to look up the remaining members of the company A majority of the company are either members of the United Mine Workers or other trade unions. While they regret being called out, the officers ex props confidence that the men will nearly all respond to the call. 8everal of them are employed out of town temporarily, and an effort Is being made to reach them and bring them home. Co. went down to the regimental armory at the samo time as Co.

H. The command was in charge of Captain Colony, and there was a good representation of the members on hand. Three detachments of the Ninth regiment were sent out into the field this morning, in response to calls for their presence at points where.l was there would be trouble. So far as heard from, there was no serious disturbance in any part of the county today. The incidents at Sturmerville noted elsewhere, were the only acts of violence In this section.

Four companies and 1 under command of Major Sharpe. were on duty this morning for several hours at the Exeter colliery, of the Lehigh Valley In Exeter borough, where trouble, was experienced with turbulent strikers yesterday morning. About 5 o'clock the members of Co. were aroused from their bunks and proceeded to the West Pittston station, under command of Captain Emory. Forty five men, nearly the full strength of the company, were on hand.

At the station the company was met by the threo companies mentioned above, who bad come up from Kingston on a special W. train.

Detachments of the Ninth Sent to Vari bus Parts of the County Today. About 650 out of 721 officers and mien of the Ninth regiment bave responded to the call to take the field In aid of Sheriff Jacobs.

Others arc coming in hourly. Some have been delayed by circumstances beyond their control, while others bave hesitated io join the regiment on account of their sympathy with the cause of the miners. Thope of the latter class are being hunted up by details from their respective companies, and it is expected that almost the full strength of the regiment will soon be on duty. Ths public statement made by District President Nicholls, the strikers to act courteously toward the soldiers and to give them every possible aid in the enforcement of the law. will probably have the effect of aiding the officers of the regiment to control the men.

The command is still quartered in the regimental armory at Wilkesbarre. It having been decided that it would be unwise to attempt to pitch the tents at West Side park until after the present disagreeable and steady rain bad ceased falling. It ha3 been raining continually ever since the call went out for the regiment to assemble. The tents arrived from Har. risburg about 6 o'clock last evening and are still on board the cars at the Pennsylvania station in Wilkesbarre, No effort has yet been made to unload therm and none will be made until the Inclement weather has paused off.

The armory at Wilkesbarre is so conveniently located and is so commodious that the regiment has excellent quarters there, and there is no necessity to take to the park until better weath er conditions prevail. The armory has been a scene of great activity ever since yesterday morning. By this afternoon every company In the command was quartered there. All of the Wilkesbarre companies, together with the Parsons, Wanamle and Plymouth companies, have been stationed at the armory since yesterday. The regimental commissary is in smooth working order In the basement of the building, and the soldier? are being well provided for.

They seem to be enjoying themselves in the novel duties to which they have suddenly been called. Tbus far it has been something of the nature of a holiday for them. They have had no seriour work, aid the bulk of the time has keen passed i the armories, where at high priced stores when you can get as much fresh meat here of the same quality for much less Low prices is a motto here.
