A Walk Over To,rtt.-A citizen of
the West End has allowed work on q
new home for his pigs to be impeded.
We saw him Thursday surveying his
sidewalk with view to reconstruc-
tioD and dropping tear wherever
there was board missing.
In another part of the town an es-
teemed taxpayer has torn away his
fence, leaving his park exposed to the
frolicsome boy and homeless COW.
Following the crash of matter super
induced by the suspension comes to us
news of an enterprise in the poultry
line. Two neighbors have pooled
funds and decided to raise chickens,
and third, whose estate adjoins the
proposed hennery, is drawing plan
for the construction of system of
Notifications for the protection of his
garden patch against domestic fowl.
Thus one improvement incites
another, and so soon as a man in
Bealrs addition discovers that the
country is no. ruined he will paint his
fence. This will induce another to
whitewash stable and so on.
Let US hope for the best.

SOME paper calls upon the con-
sumels to rise en- masse and tender
an advance sufficient to allot the
miners the coveted ten cents per
ton.
Consumers put up the price on
themselves when the sun rises in
the west!
Under certain operations of the
tariff, however, they unconsciously
help the producer, manufacturer and
merchant to wind up cost-marks
until the crank stops dead just be-
fore the spring snaps.

out incident save the reception of news
to the effect that several of the smaller
operators in Clearield had put their
men, in all about 500, to work at the
advance.
An effort was made to raise funds
to send two men to Pocahoutas, Va,
to ascertain the true state of affairs
there.
The companies posted notices re-
quiring the return of tools, the latest
by to-day, preparatory to closing the
mines. The Consolidation company
will pay men not now working next
Monday and Tuesday.
Tuesday the rumor from Clearfeld
was verified, on account of which the
men obeyed the orders of the companies
with apparent alacrity.
The ,Sun stated that
The supply of Georges Creek coal is rum
ming very low in Baltimore ON account of the
strike. 1t is estimated that Cumberland coal
operators have altogether not over $500 tons
of Georges Creek coal here. Some con-
sumers have offered as high as 81 ton for
coal. The operators prefer to sell to their
customers at 1925, the price before the strike
began, rather than sell to new applicants at a
higher price. The operators still maintain
their position that they cannot grant the ad-
vance on account of the contracts made
ahead and based on the price Of mining at
the time they were entered into. Pending
strikes delivery of coal under these contracts
is not enforced, but on resumption of mining,
whether at the price asked by the men or
fixed by the companies, the coal must be de-
liveIed at contract price
Various cheerful predictions Of a
short suspension, ending with success,
were indulged by the men notwith-
standing.
Wednesday a straw was seen in the
combination advance of anthracite 25
cents ton, not enough, however, to
place the low sizes at par with soft coal.
Thursday word came from Pocahon-
tas that the men were at work. At the
suggestion, however, of delegation
from this and Clearfield regions a mass
meeting was called for Friday (yester'
day. to determine their future action.
Certain it is, somebody over there
has managed very shrewdly to keep
their usual weekly report out of print,
1t is equally certain that one of ou,
companies has supplied its customers
largely with coal loaded on vessels al
Norfolk.

among the men concerning the leader

It is said also that only a minority
have worked-those opposed to the
present management. AS whole
however, the region is a unit for 4S
cents, and will so determine. The
meeting fixed for yesterday, it is now
thought, will be held tomorrow (Sun'
day.

School Aratrs.-A Reorganization
of the teaching force of our public
school has been made. A partial con-
solidation of two rooms Las permitted
the principal to do with one teacher
less, and Miss McSherry, of Cumber-
land, is relieved.
AT meeting Monday afternoon the
School Commissioners appointed Com.
missioner Shriver and Secretary
Weimer to wait upon the county COM
missioners at their next meeting in
reference to the application made by
the committee Of teachers for funds
to run the schools nine months. 1t is
understood also that the board has
written strong letter to that body
defining its position on the question of
keeping the schools open. 1t seems to
be the opinion now that the county
commissioners will grant the money,
since it has been officially asked for.
The entertainment at public school
No. 1, that was to have taken place
Thursday, has been put forward one
week, owing to the sickness of num-
ber of pupils.
Examiner Weimer paid several visits
to our schools this week.

Breuttfes.-At the last session of the
West Virginia legislature bill was
passed making it unlawful for cattle,
hogs, goats or geese to run at large,
and should such stock, while running
at large, destroy or injure the property
of another, the owner of such stock
shall pay to the party whose property
may be injured or destroyed, the
amount of damages sustained by him
by reason of such destruction or in
jury. And the party so injured may,
if he find such stock on his premises,
retain them, or a sufficient number
thereof, until the said damages and
costs of keeping be paid.

Candidates for assessor, disappoint-
ed in Maryland, may stand a chance
for a job in Chicago by emigrating
early. They must have a lively i'm
agination and disposition to let it

practical knowledge of addition and
numeration sufficient to determine
that there is enough property in Chi
cago, should st. Louis and Cumber-
land defalcate, to pay even the nation
al debt.
The Times opposes Mr.. McComas'
reelection to Congress partly be-
cause he "has done less than nothing
at all" for Cumberland and the
same paper states that
Senator McKaig has taken a strong
stand against any of the railroad
projects on the ground that they will
all, more OR less, injure the interests of
Cumberland, which would cease to be
a terminal point and become simply
way station on the proposed railroad.

SENATOR JONES, of Florida, enam-
ored of Miss Palms, Of Detroit, has
spent the winter there. Meanwhile,
his absence from legislative duty has
brought on tie in an important COM
mittee upon an important bill, and
thus prevented the desired report. A
great many people, consequently, are
"down on Jones'" The JOURNAL
has put itself in Jones' place, from
which outlook it discovers that Jones
is endeavoring to reverse the senate
rial order by securing, first, a favora-
BILE report, with the view of letting
the tie come in as subsequent pro-
ceeding.

in displacing me, and I'll show
you why. How is it that J. i.
Springston, has been allowed to
hold four positions at the same
time under this great reformor's
nose--clerk Of senate, interpreter
citizenship court, translator Adyo-
cat and executive interpreter ?
Huv is it another of his pets, Dick
Wolfe, was allowed to be senator,
delegate to Washington and execu-
tive interpreter at the same time ?
How is that d. II. Ross, was
allowed to be editor of the Advocate
and delegate TO Washington at the
same timer How is it now that one
of his pets Daniel Redbird is al
lowed to be executive councillor and
member of the international com-
Gil at the same time? Now these
and many other instances can be
cited where this great reformer has
failed to interpose any objections
all these occurrences have taken
place since he has been assistant
chief. and he never has opened his
mouth or said a word about them.
Mr.. Bunch ought to at least be fair
and tell the people exactly why
he ousted me. lie ought to tell
the people that he is an aspirant
for the chieftaincy, and that he
sent word to my father and friends
and asked them if they would sup
port the National ticket with him
as a candidate for principal chief,
and receiving a very decided
negative answer from my father,
and still further my father Informed
his messenger that he intended to
support the Downing ticket with
all his might and influence, no
difference who got the National
nomination for chief, and this is
the cause Of Bunch's action toward
me. This is the milk in the cocoa
nut, and Bunch's pretehsions in
upholding the constitution is all
bosh. Why has he not thought of
the constitution ere this2 claim
no pity or sympathy, for I know
myself, that there has been and is
yet superabundance of secretaries
in the chiefs office. Let the peo-
pie know the truth in this matter,
and take the mask from Bunch's
shallow pretensions, and they will
understand why this is thus.
