Now, what you want to is where you can get the arier a rurlous debate on the eighthour day. A socialist had moved that eTght hours be made the legal working day for all municipal employees. The social democrats struggled desperately to flght down the opposition and made the discussion bitter and tumultous from beginning to end. The motion was rejected amid a mixed chorus of approval and protest. The moment the vote was announced, the* specialist, bounced from his seat and bore down on the chairman shouting: "You shall suffer for this. You have allowed the majority to insult me and my comrades." All the councilors left their seats. Many cried "Throw him out." An eacclted group made for Stadthagen, and but for the interference of the municipal officers, there Would have been a hand to hand tight. • :NORTH'S:- PRICE CLOTHING AND FURNISHING IHOUSI, Corner Rodm Hotel Pintail Building, PUNXSUTAWNEY, Worth Talking About Special Barnaul Sale PA. Improving. Chicago, Oct. 22.—Comptroller of the Currency Eckels says the recent marked revival of business Is by 110 means confined to the great financial center* of the country. "The last call for a statement from the national banks waa made Oct. 2," he said. "It showed an Increase In reserve cities since July 18 of $38,000,000 of loans and discounts. We estimate that, In addition to this, there was an Increase Of $20,000,000 in outside cities. It was not confined to the financial centers, but seemed to come from every section of the country, indicating a very general and healthy revival. Compared with the statement of one year ago, however, the increase is phenomenal— more than $160,000,000. All this indicates a restoration of public confidence and more liberal investments." Bromide Mines. Creede, Col., Oct. 22.—The Kentucky Belle Mining Company, operating on Campbell mountain, about two weeks ago struek a body of rich bromide ore at a depth of less than two feet and since then have shipped a car that assayed from 400 to over 4,000 ounces per ton. This evening the last shots knocked out about half a ton of nearly ■olid bromide ore that will run not less than 6,000 ounces. This Is considered one of th£ greatest bonanzas found In Creede. Great excitement prevails over this grat strike, and a new era seems to have dawned upon Creede camp. This great strike is within a short distance ®f upper Creede depot, and in the high. cliffs.

Hunter , the murdered man. igo he opened a saloon at M ?lle»;io assassination. He was one of a family of nine brothers. About four years vas 31 years of age at the time of his Liodge, Mon. Hunter lived with his wife and family In a house about 20 rods distant from his saloon. As the murder occurred on Sunday the saloon was closed at the time. The assassins, for whom the four brothers will go In search, aiv Paul Metcalf and A F. Harness; they will arlso seek to have a Medicine Ix)dge character and cowboy, known as Irish Jack, arrested and punished fcr participating In the criine The murderers. however, they believe to be Metcalf and Harness. Their reputation for lawlessness and despenate deeds in north- western Montana has earned for them a very unenviable fame. They are now kpown to be hiding In the mountains, afid'1 although a price has been set upon their heads by the authorities the county officials have been able Metcalf and Harness having armed themselves with rifles and revolver# to get no trace of their whereabouts. had mounted their mustangs and started out for a high old time. When they reached Medicine Lodge they at once headed for Hunter's saloon. On the way they picked up a local charactor known by the sobriquet of Irish Jack. The cowboys on arriving at the saloon proceeded to break In by throwing empty beer kegs through the door. When Hunter reached the sa- revolver constantly presented at his head. There was a telephone In the loon the cowboys were making free with his liquors. Metcalf Immediately covered Hunter with his revolver and ordered him to "set "em up." Hunter served them several drinks with the muzzle of Metcaif's connecting with his house. While Metcalf and his comrades were pouring down one of the drinks Hunter seized the opportunity to ring the telephone bell in the hope of summoning assistance. The cowboys detected him in the act and realizing hH purpose shot him down in cold blood. Then they rifled and robbed the fcody and rode off. Mrs. Hunter found Irish Jack sitting on the door step bleeding from a wound in his head and Hunter lying; Lon his face on the floor behind the counter shot through the left temple, alive, but unconscious. Two shots had penetrated Hunter's brain. Jack said that Metcalf had struck him over the head with the butt end of his revolver before shooting Hunter and had done so because he accused him of drinking too much of the whiskey. Jack admitted that he had robbed Hunter's body of a roll of bills amounting to several hundred dollars. A reporter saw William J. Hunter, one of the brothers. He said it would be bad policy to make known the day when he will start, as it would be fore-warning the Montana authorities. "I expect," he said, "that when our purpose becomes known the officials there will take steps to find the murderers and bring them to justice. There is something suspicions, I must say, in the neglect of the Montana authorities to arrest the offenders. We shall endeavor to have ourselves appointed as deputy sheriffs and In that way pursue the criminals. If we fail to be appointed we shall go ahead 'ndependently." equel to the Assassination of Frank G.

Oct. 22.—Advices are said to have been received by the Japanese government from Shanghai stating that the French minister at Pekin has again made a demand for reparation for the murder of the French missionary, Perd Jozean, in Corea by Chinese troops. It will be remembered that the Chinese government pretended that the murder had been committed by Japanese fugitives and therefore Chin* Responsible /or the outrage. A telegram received by the Japanese government runs aa follows: "The has received positive Information aa to the result of the second Investigation by officers of the French men-of-war at Kunsen. Corea, that the murderers of the French missionary were CWpM*4 .The minister has changed his former course and opened international negotiations. Ha has demanded of I>1 Hung Chang to give definite reply within a stipulated period. Id Hung Chang, however, has requested an extension ot the period on the plea that he has his - sofull wltfc the present war that Nipt make the naeSsaatr love* The last paragraph of the report concerns the prosecutions of social democrats since the congress of 1893. Within the year fifty-eight socialists have been imprisoned and countless editors and agitators have been fined. "Whether this mimic warfare against the social democrats will be continued," says the report, "or be merged again Into a general attaek on the whole party, is a question which soon will be answered. However, come what may In the near or remote future, the social democrats will meet the attack with the same unperturbed!, proud, calm resolution as heretofore. We are ready for the foe at all times. We are prepared for every new onslaught. With us is progress, with us is right, with us will be at last the victory." The case of Deputy Bueb and Comrade Doppler, who declined to take the oath of allegiance after their election to the provincial counoil at Strasburg, has not been mentioned in the congress' programme, but Is likely to be debated. The Berlin newspapers have made it already the text of many leaders on the question: "Does the social democracy encourage perjury?" The Cfltlc, a new journal edited by the old democratic agitator and leader, Karl :8chneldt, and the friend of Most and Neve, has assaulted Liebknecht and Bebel mercilessly for their lightheadedness in making a»d breaking their oaths. Without wincing, It says, they both swear allegiance to the king when they enter the Saxon diet, admitting frankly that without such means no success in politics Is possible. Schneldfs course foreshadows the Intention of the Independent social democrats to provoke a row In the congress by comparing the conscientious Bueb and Doppler with the pliable Liebknecht and Bebel. This old straw, however, was thrashed out long ago and everybody knows that the majority of social democrats approve of swearing falsely the oath of allegiance In case this act be deemed expedient for the good of the party. The non-soclallst newspapers have assailed the social democracy savagely In the last week. They have brought many charges against the party management and have raised several questions which are likely to Increase the heat ot debate In the congress. The Kreu* ZeitiAig, for instance, asserts that millionaire Hebrews, under the direction of the Rothschilds, control and exercise a censorship over the social democratic press. As evidence of this, it cites the course of the Vorwaerts in apologizing for quoting from a Paris journal an anti-Semitic tirade against the Rothschilds. The fact Is that the Vorwaerts expressed regret merely for using an untrustworthy statement concerning the great Hebrew bankers. The debates in the congress will Illustrate once more the social democracy's attitude toward antl-Sem- Itlsm. It la neither for nor against the Hebrews and will havq nothing to do with the" abstract contentions of He* brews or Hebrew trader*. The Berlin social democrats were touted In the city council on Thursday.

Berlin, Oct. 22.—The annual congress of the social democrats has opened in Frankfort on the Main. The Vorwaerts observes the event by publishing in fourteen columns the executive committee's report of the party's doings, In the relchstag.
