Frontenac needs a new city hall, and no one knows it better by than the and people of Frontenac.

Besides the effort to secure waterworks and lights, a movement is on foot to raise the city revenue and secureenough money in the city treasury to build a new city coal building. The old hall, which is not only out of the way, but is unsightly, will be probably turned into a hose cart house or fine engine house when the fire department secures its new equipment.

The marshal puled both of the combatants and Judge Freskel, after lecturing them on the beauties of sobriety, and the danger of fracturing the ordinances of Frontenac, proceeded to administer justice. at One of the combatants was fined $5 and costs.

Davis, of Pittsburg, and Father Hull, of Galena, whose tenor voice is one of the finest in the country. The school chorus is well worth going miles to hear and the sisters have trained the children's 6 voices carefully and skillfully. 7 The Mine Workers' union held al special meeting Monday night to dis- cuss the proposition made by the operators. It was decided by the Frontenac local. at least, to leave the settlement of the matter entirely in the hands of the committee.

The miners have the utmost confidence in the district board and conference committee, and thought they could make a factory contract with the operators. The local therefore voted to leave the matter with the committee. The miners do not anticipate any trouble with the operators, although the sooner the contract is signed, the sooner all will feel easier. There is a natural suspense during the progress of a convention or conference. The news spread through Frontenac Tuesday that John Baritone had assaulted and killed his wife.

It was soon learned, however, that he had assaulted her and badly beaten her around the head, but that she was not fatally injured. Baritone was arrested as recorded in last night's HEADLIGHT. Yesterday afternoon he was brought up before Police Judge Friskle charged with assault on his wife, Martha, with a piece of wood. He plead guilty, and was fined $15 and costs, amounting to $17.50, which he paid and was released. It was said that Baritone had been suffering from periods of mental affliction, and his friends hesitate to believe that he would commit any such act when pos-! sessed with his mental faculties.

Baritone has always been well liked, and especially by his own countrymen, and he has never been known to mistreat his wife before. She was not as badly hurt as was first reported, although she will be confined to her bed for some time. GO TO THE SEASHORE President and Mrs. McKinley Will Leave Washington to Escape Oppressively Warm Weather. TO OLD HOME AT CANTON FIRST.

If Mrs. McKinley Does Not Satisfactorily Improve Among Neighbors in Ohio, Some Quiet Place the Mountains or Old. by the Water Will Be Found-Away from White House Until Fall. Washington, June McKinley's condition continues to improve and there was no consultation of physicians at the white house Monday. If the present improvement goes on it is expected that Mrs.

McKinley will be able to travel soon after July 1. The president will then accompany her to Canton, where the McKinley home has been ready to receive her. How long the president and Mrs. MeKinley will remain in Canton will depend upon the benefit Mrs. McKinley receives from her stay at her old home.

After she has been there for some time, if the weather is oppressively warm and her physician recommends a change, the president will probably take her to some quiet place in the mountains or at the sea shore. In any event when the president departs for Canton with Mrs. McKinley early in July it will be to remain away from Washington for the remainder of the heated term. He might return for a day or two once or twice during the summer, but he will not again take up his abode at the white house until fall. NO RESULTS OBTAINED.

Contract Labor Law Is a Dead Letter Although It Costs the Government $150,000 a Year. Washington, June will be storms of protests from the labor organizations of this country when it is learned the alien contract law is a dead letter, that it is practically nullified, and that for some time past no one has been deported for violating t. As a result there are undoubtedly hundreds of laborers in this country who have no right to be here. Notwithstanding the fact that no results are obtained, the government is now spending $150,000 a year in functory administration of the law. Agents are now stationed at the difinferent ports to look out for contract laborers.

Unless evidence is obtained which shows conclusively the new comer is a contract laborer he is not detained. but allowed to enter. These agents are not permitted to put suspects through what is known as the "sweating process," nor to resort to the ordinary methods employed by police officials in their efforts to elicit information in regard to violation of law.

Washington, June war department has made public two telegrams relating to the alleged clothing frauds at San Francisco. The first is a message from Gen. Corbin to Gen. Shafter asking for information on the subject and stating that "it is desirable from every point of view that detailed facts of any importance be given the department before exploited in the newspapers." Gen. Shafter's reply is as follows: I have refrained from making a report regarding clothing seized by Col.

Maus, because the quantity was very small and it all appeared to have come from the same man, a junk dealer who business around the presidio. The clothing dido had evidently been sold to this peddler by soldiers and recruits. The junk man and his son who sold it have been arrested by the federal authorities and a their case is being considered by the federal grand jury to-day. There is no shortage in any of the departments here. This seized clothing undoubtedly represents the accumulation of articles which have been sold from to time during the past year or time two by thousands of soldiers who have passed through San Francisco.

I do not regard this matter as of any importance, though it has been widely exploited by the sensational newspapers. However, the seizure of these articles and the arrests made will have the effect, I think, of discouraging the purchase or sale of soldiers' swearing apparel in this vicinity hereafter. Following is an exact list of the articles seized: Blankets, 11 pairs; leggins, pairs; blue flannel shirts, 48; blouses, gauntlet gloves, 2 pairs; black calf-skin shoes, 77 pairs; tan and russet shoes, 53 pairs. All these articles are now in the hands of the proper departments. GOING AFTER MORE LINES.

UNEASINESS IN FRANCE. Anti-Religions Agitation Has Caused the Shipping of $600,000,000 Out of the Country. Paris, June 19-Rentes fell 22 centimes yesterday.

has been closed all week. Nobody seems to know why, unless it is because they have lately been turning out more coal than was needed, and they have to catch up with the supply now. There are plenty of flats in the yards now, although they were very scarce for a couple of weeks. A prominent young Frontenac felflow had his face badly beaten up on Monday night by a Chicopee fellow. A Frontenac girl figured in the case.

The Chicopee fellow gave her the shake and one of the Frontenac boys who used to think a good deal of the girl made some smart remark about it. The Chicopee fellow heard of it. and came over to Frontenac and laid him up for repairs for a few days.
