The Great Coke Strike Ends in Victory for
the Coke Workers.
PITTsBURG, PA. g., Aug. 8.-A special
from Everson, Pa, says: "The great
coke strike is ended with victory for the
men, at an advance of II per cent. This
was brought about by a conference, of
labor leaders, which lasted all day.g# with
three large coke firms, H. c.. tFrick &
Co., J NJ. Schoonmaker s. Co.'S and the
Mcclure coke company. This5s 95 cents
per 100 for mining and 55fSeeafs Per
100 bushels charged for drawing. All
other wages will be in proportion. Theirs
is to be no discrimination made against
the men engaged in the strike. Allsare
to have their old positions back The
agreement is to last six months, whether
coke advances or declines, and
either party is to give thirty
days notice to terminate the agreement.

mentary, think they are there to stay
as permanent part of the legislation.
No action of congress on this subject
can fully avail until it is met by sympa-
thetic legislation on the part of the
states. It's jurisdiction is limited and
cannot reach all causes of complaint
wholly in a state. The states must meet
it half way. l shall cheerfully vote for
the amendment to the constitution as
proposed by the Texas legislature.
twenty-five states and territories have
adopted the system of a railroad COM
mission. 1t seems that it has never been
abandoned by any state that has
adopted it, except Tennessee in
recent years, and it is said
that its abolition there was
attributable to the opposition of the rail-
roads. While in my judgment the COM
mission system has its defects and cannot
fully meet all the requirements of the
situation still it seems to be sanctioned
by the experience of the states which
have tried it, and is to that extent COM
mended to Texas. Where the tenure of
legislators is so uncertain, where people
are so immersed in their own business af-
fairs and have not usually the the oppor-
tunity to investigate the questions of
railroad transportation in advance should
they be elected Reconsideration the
sessions of the legislature are limited as
they are in Texas, it would seem eXpedi-
ent to afford them all possible lights
for their guidance and to qualify them
for q proper and well-adVised treatment
of and intelligent legislation upon one of
the most important and delicate subjects
which can engage their official considera-
ton. AS agents to assist the state in the
detection and exposure of violations of
such laws as it may pass, and in the ac-
emulation of all pertinent and reliable
data for the benefit of the state, which,
IN their official reports can be preserved
and rendered accessible, in permanent
form, to succeeding legislatures, being
limited by legal authority and under
specific directions as to the extent and
operation of their functions, and
wholly without power to make
law themselves, it seems to me
that it would be good policy to ap-
point a commission. If it has proved
satisfactory in states territorially small,
like Alabama and Georgia, how much
the more is it likely to do so i'll a state
like Texas, with its immense area and
different conditions in its varied locaIi-
ties
Permit me TO say in conclusion, think
you and those whom you represent, in
provoking a full and thorough discussion
of this subject and inviting the thought
and attention of the whole people thereto,
are doing a good work. It must GER
tainly be the wish of all patriotic men
that safe conclusions shall be reached
and fair and just legislation alike to rail-
roads and people shall be enacted. Re-
spectfully, etc., S. LANHAM.

The Murderers of Guard Given Life Sem

Special to the Gazette
RUsK, Tex, Aug. 9.-Great interest
was conferred in the proceedings in the
district court during the last four days
on account of the trial of the convicts
charged with the murder of the guard
B. f. Epperson, on April %. Only two
of the three indicted were tried, the state
dismissing as to Spears because of lack of
evidence. The other two, James Roach
and Ellis Bigbee, were tried separately
and each given q life sentence in the
penitentiary. In Bybee IS case the state
made hard fight for the death penalty,
and the jury was out for about twenty
hours and returned a verdict to-day. 1t
is said that nine of the jurors favored the
death penalty, but the others would not
agree. The evidence showed that
on the morning of the killing,
which occurred sixteen miles south of
here, at a coal camp, that q guard,
John West and B. [. Epperson, each
with squad of convicts, set out for the
woods where their men were, to engage
in hauling wood to the coal pits, that
West had his men in front of him and
was followed by Epperson g men at some
distance. When they had reached a
point about mile from the camp, two
of Epperson s men, Bigbee and Roach,
taking advantage of a curve in the road
got ahead of the balance of the squad
and, unobserved, came up on West, who
was on horseback and had no arms but a
pistol in his scabbard, which they took
from him. They seized West and pulled
shfa= from his horse, and Spears, who
was just ahead of West, jumped off
a wagon and took hold of the horse.
Roach took West up the road few feet
and turned him over to convict who
said he came to protect him. Big5ee
went down the road a few steps and
stood behind tree few feet from the
road, and as Epperson came to Vests
rescue in a gallop, shot him through the
head, killing him instantly. Bigbee then
took Epperson s pistol and Roach having
secured his horse, the three convicts
made their escape on two horses. They

Farm, Stock and Home: The
manner in which many of the "loan
agencies" in the Northwest get in
their fine work is tersely stated in the
following:
"The settler applies for and re-
ceives $500 for five years, but the
mortgage reads $402.50. The COM
pany adds to the sum actually re-
ceived: 1s.-bonus per cent for five
years, $75, % per cent of 1915; 3D.
local agents commission, $3.50,
which the loan company divides
with the agent; DISCRIMINATION fee,
$500; 4th-recording fee and abstract,
$500; total as stated, $402.50. The in
terest on this accumulation is Z per
cent. The company then sells this
mortgage in the East at premium OF
5 per cent, making an additional
profit of $20.12. The company has
advanced $500 to the borrower, and
for commission and expenses about
1857. The net profit is therefore
$102.25. The company makes q loan
of $500, and in a fortnight sells it,
making clear profit of $102.25 y
Any law calculated to make prac-
tees of this kind impossible will, it
is said, "drive capital out of the
country "make capital timid," and
s'cause the foreclosure of every mort
gage in the state," so we must per-
force let the sharks have their way.

From half a dozen or more states
come reports OF recent date charging
that the insane asylums OF those
states are in the most horrible condi-
ton and that the inmates are brutally
treated. Even here in our own state
of Minnesota serious charges were
made against the physician at the
head of the ST. Peter insane asylum,
and although the investigating COM
mittee did not recommend the re-
moval of the physician, it was pretty
much as the st. Paul News said,
"guiIty, but not proven" 1t is un-
doubtedly true, that there is scarcely
an insane asylum in the land, but
what has among some of the officials
and attendants men, and women too,
for the matter, who are as unfit to be
there as satin is to fill the pulpit OF
the most devout and Onscientious
minister in the land. It is high time
that these humane institutions should
be more closely investigated, and
wherever these is the slightest evil
dences that the superintendent or any
of the officials or attendants are
guilty of treating any of the poor I'M
fortunate inmates with cruelty, they
should be discharged at once, and
not allowed to have their misconduct
"whitewashed" by an investigating
committee.

slstance of the ablest authorities on
the subject in this country, brief in-
struction as to best methods OF de-
tecting disease, infectious or other, IN
animals intended for human food, or
any other condition affecting the
healthfulness, or food value, OF the
flesh of such animals.
1t is proper to add a reply to the
question often asked, Was the secre-
tary of the state board consulted In
the preparation or modification OF
this law? He was shown the printed
draft in the hands Of the legal gentle
men who prepared 1t, and, as re-
quested, suggested such changes as
seemed to him necessary to make the
law, what 1t proposed to be, an act
for the protection of the public health,
Not one of his suggestions was
adopted, and the only change lie was
able to secure was, by the assistance
of Senator Truax, the provisions that
the animals found, by this inspection
affected with infectious disease
should be removed and destroyed"

President Harrison at the Cen

The following are the remarks
made by President Harrison at the
centennial anniversary of the first
Inauguration of Washington as pres
ident of the United States, at New
York last week:
Fellow Citizens: My task to-day
is of very exacting character and
makes it quite impossible that I
should deliver an address upon this
occasion. Foreseeing this, / early
notified your committee that the pro-
gram must contain no address by me.
The selection of Mr.. Depew as the
orator of this occasion made further
speech not only difficult, but superfiu-
Gus. Applause He has met the
demand of this great occasion on it's
own high level. He has brought be-
fore us the incidents and lessons of
the first Inauguration of Washington.
We seem to have been part of that
admiring and almost worshiping
throng that filled these streets 100
years ago. We have come into the
serious but always inspiring presence
Of Washington. fApplause.l He was
the incarnation of duty, and he
teaches us to-day the great lesson
that those who would associate their
names with events that shall outlive
q century can only do SO by high com
seoration to duty. IApplause.l Sells

The Deadly Frying-Pan.

This familiar kitchen utensil has to
answer for much of the dyspepsia
common among Americans. To the
digestion Of the hunter, the soldier,
or the cowboy, who spend their lives
IL the open air, fired meat is not per-
haps IL foe, but the professional or
business man Of the city should shun
halt-cooked or Overdone food as an
abominatIon. Time was when the
way-station lunch counter with its
specimens of prehistoric cookery was
all that stood between the traveller
and starvation. Now, on 1.-THE Bur
Iingtonn at least, the tourist can bid
defiance to dyspepsia and indigestion
so far as they arise from ill-cooked
food or forced haste in eating. Peer

with ample time to enjoy it. For

to play the detective smart. Charles
Beck, a Chicago newspaper reporter,

the medical faculty of the asylum,
but while there he had practical evil

ST. Cloud Times: There is no re-
striction on shipping in cattle, and,
as a natural consequence, the farmers
and cattle-raisers have no 'protec-
ton" against outside competition,
but the Strengthening houses are "pro-
tected'' and can buy cattle where
they please. In view of this, how
can there be any great increase to
Minnesota stock-raisers in the price
of cattle: On the other hand, farm
ers are prohibited from killing their
stock, even for their own use, unless
1t is inspected. The trouble and diff
ficulty attending such inspection is
great, and, where, as in most cases,
there is but one or two animals to be
slaughtered, the expense would be
almost prohibitory.
