THE SPRING VALLEY TROUBLE.
General Vance Makes Report After Visit
to the Scene Of the Strike.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Sept. 25.-Adjutant
General Vance, who was recently sent to
Spring Valley by the governor to investi-
gate into the condition of the miners
there. has returned and presented his re-
port. Referring to the memorial recently
presented to the governor by citizens of
that place, Adjutant General Vance says:
"The general sentiment represented
by representatives of all classes
was that their memorial was
a misrepresentation as to the
condition existing with reference to destl-
tuition, starvation, suffering and sickness
and that it was prepared without any con-
sultation.
Some freely admit that there have been
eXaggerations in reference to starvation
and restitution. but urge the necessity for
charita Die work, and state this necessity
would probably exist several weeks after
the miners returned TO work.
There is evidence OF a sentimeEt
of hostility toward both mine own
ers and miners among citizens
not engaged in these pursuits,
for the reason, as stated by them, that
neither party seems to have made much Ell
fort to come to an agreement or to compro-
mise the differences"
Speaking of the work of the relief COM
mittee of the miners union, the report
says the issues are made upon the basis of
a value of y cents to the head OF family,
and IA cents to each OF the women and
children, and medicines and dellcacles
were furnished the sick every day. Since
Nav IS the committee has received S2,26S.-
g. and have now on hand S239.3l, while pro-
visions to the amount OF Se,UO0 have
been received Aid has been furnished
by this committee to 405 heads of families,
or about !, 104 persons. According to the
best information obtainable by General
Vance there were not over 250 idle miners
there at present. and there is plenty of
demand tor miners, 500 being wanted at
Streetor fifty at Youngstown, o., 200 at
CentrefieId, Ia, and sixty at Sandoval, Ill.
The agents of these operators have been at
Spring Valley to get men but the men re
use to leave Spring Valley.
General Vance states III conclusion: Il
believe that there should be an organized
system of relief established by citizens of
Spring Valley outside OF those engaged In
the mining industry for the benefit of wo-
continued until the necessity for such ac-
ton ceased"
1t is learned that no action has been TAX
ell by the township or county authorities
In their official capacity 10 relieve any
want or destIJuton that may have exist
ed
1t is not known what action Governor
Fifer will take in the premises. but under
the facts represented in General Nance's
report 1t not believed he will act until the
local authorities have endeavored to relieve
those who are worthy of charity. and In
any event can hardly 90 more than issue
proclamation to the people of the state for
aid.

a RtIMOR DENIED

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. pa local paper
says that the rumor that the Chicago &
Alton is TRYING to obtain control of the
Missouri, Kansas s. Texas railway is au-
thoritatively denied. The present position
of the latter roaG renders the acquisition
an imposibility, there being much dissen-
sion among the different security holders.
The complications are as great as they
were in the case of the Wabash. The road
is in two divisions, the northern and
southern. There is conflict be-
tween these two interests with the
so-called committees protesting to rep
resent them, but neither committee is re
ceiving the support of any large portion of
the bondholders, nor is either interest in
harmono with the stockholders. The
bonds are widely scattered both in this
country and Europe. Hence, there is no
authoritative party on the part of the road
to negotiate with the Alton or any other
road 1t is much more probable some
measure NAY be devised in the near future
for the reorganization of tie company that
will result in putting the property on au
INDEPENDENT basis

EFFECTS OF SMOKING.
How the Use of Tobacco Breaks Dow
the Health of Boys.

the Health Oh BOYS.
If one is going to smoke at all, it is
not boys, but tough men, that can
withstand the effects of tobacco
burned in paper. The adult smoker
who makes his own cigarettes, out of
tobacco that he knows all about, may
or may not injure himself according to
his constitution and to the amount of
his smoking. The boy who buys cigar
cites is sure to injure himself
Now l will take the most favorable
case of all, and the rarest. Suppose
boy has lot of good cigarettes, and
smokes few of them every day. Is
there any injury to that?
can tell you, for l have had such
boys for patients. Such smoking. even
in so called moderation-as if there
were any such thing as moderation in
stimulants for the young-will do three
things for him: First, it will run his
pulse up to one hundred or more per
minute; second, it will reduce his
weight below the healthy standard,
and third, it will reduce his strength
and general vitality, as will appear in
his pale complexion and his diminished
appetite.
If this is true of boys smoking under
the least injurious conditions, how
much truer is it in the more frequent
cases where bad and adulterated to-
bacco and excessive smoking combine
in their attack upon the delicate It's
sues of the growing ladP The physi-
ologist will tell you that the effect Of
Rtimulants in general is to check the
changes in tissue, this means to check
the growth. The simple fact is that
young people need no stimulants of
any kind unless as medicines. Tea
and coffee are not good for children,
and it is mistake to give them to
I children. Much more are cigarettes
| injurious, because tobacco is a much
stronger stimulant than tea or coffee.
In conclusion, cigarette smoking is
one of the worst of habits, physically,
that boy can form. 1t Injuries the
heart and the digestion, and it tends
J
to check the growth. 1t gives a lad
false and silly notions and it does not
bring him into good company. The
parents duty is simple one. Let him
point out the righteousness OF the habit;
let him laugh at it, and if this is not
enough, as it should be for any right
feeling boy, then let him forbid it with
penalties, and do reasonably what is
to be done. / am not one of those who
think that severe measures are often
necessary in the management of chill
dren that receive careful and atfec-
tionate training. But if, in some cases
nothing else will do, it is well to con-
slider that switch in time saves nine.

POOR WILL.

Thy kith and kin of ancient fame,
Pass sentence booming thee to shamee

Ere yet the first pale twilight stars
Peer through the gold and purple bars,
From yon tall cedar's duslly shade
The mandate sounds across the glade:
whip poor Will whip poor Will"
And straightway comes in hooking tone,
From dell and dingle wild and lone,
From tangled brush and bosky glen,
From briery copse and fern-grown fen:
whip poor Will whip poor Will"
From distant woods across the cove,
From darkling depths of yonder grove.
From thickets where the brook runs by,
With malice keer they boot and cry:
Whip poor Will! whip poor Winw
o, heartless crew, too long, too long
Night hath been saddened with the song,
The world is wiser now than when
You sang first to the sons OF men:
"Whip poor Will! aghip poor Will''
And meath this new and kindlier star
You'd suit your audience better far
II, changing tune to suit the hour,
You carolled in your leafy bower:
'Help poor Will! help poor WIFI
And better still for bird and man
Through weary ages under ban -
If in your song you would repeat
The new evangel glad and sweet:
''LOge poor viii! lore poor Will"
