Shocking Cruelty to Animals.


The man who does not smoke cigarettes
has apparently as great contempt for
them as the smoker has love, and the
former frequently speaks OF them, compar-
atlvely, as the lowest and most contempti-
bic thing he can imagine. A teamster a
few days ago gave an illustration of this.
He was obliged to get his truck, on which
was heavy load OF paper, up to the ele-
yator door of printing house. The alley
was rather narrow and the driver had no
easy task to get his load backed up 70 the
right spot The horses were somewhat
unruly and the man got angry. He yanked
the reins and dashed the team with his
whip. He yelled Whoa 70 and get up,
sherep' until bis voice grew hoarse and he
made the whole neighborhood blue with
profanity. Finally he succeeded in getting

| mittee, only S28. 90 a month, a less sum
than any man can work for who has a
family to support. or less sum than
the average wages in the open air. Yet
small as they are. these wages are sub
ject to dinunition, the miner being
compelled to spend a part of it paying
for oil, powder and squibs the sharpen
ing of tools and small assessments for
the care of the sick, etc.
On the other hand, the committee
finds that the mine operators, who are
organized, of course into an association
with headquarters at Chicago, can
not, under existing conditions afford
to pay any higher wages than they offer.
To sum up the situation: the operators
can afford to pay no higher wages and
the miners can't afford to accept the pay
offered.
The committee say that they are una
bic to suggest any remedy. Consider
ing the report abstractly there would
seem to be no remedy; yet if the com
mittee had pursued their investigation a
little further they might have been able
to discover why the operators cannot af
ford to pay more than the price offered.
If the price of coal on the market were
reduced by the amount of the reduction
in wages, or any other amount, that
might be set up as a plausible excuse,
but that is not the case. The consumer
has to pay the same as he did before the
reduction in wages was made that
brought about the strike. the cause,
therefore, will have to be looked for
elsewhere.
There is cause for the trouble some
where and the governor should continue
the committee or appoint another to pur-
sue the investigation until the cause of
the trouble is discovered and a remedy
found and applied. 1t is demanded by

Yearning for the Flesh POS

Lca~euvO-th sun
The arrival OF the steamer "Libbie
Conger" on Saturday evening with 201
passengers was an event that brought
back to many OF the older residents OF
the city recollecuons of other DAYS.
when transportation and travel on the
Missouri river was at the zenith of its
glory. Not only did it cause people to
remember. but TO think that il was more
than likely that this avenue OF trans
portatiou so long abandoned might
possibly be taking on new life. and to
hope that the comforts OF passenger
travel and the advantage of cheap
freight rates may again be restored to
the travelling public and business in
ter,asts Of the country.
