WISCONSIN MINERS DISSATISFIED.
They Want to Return to the Wages of Three
Years Ago.

ASHLAND, WIS, March 13.-The miners
in Aurora, Pabst, King and Germania
mines, at Ironwood, are likely to follow the
example of the Norris and Ashland men
and quit work. Great dissatisfaction exists
on account of a reduction in wages every
year and the importation of foreign labor
ers. The statement that 3, 900 men are al
ready out is exaggerated.
The advance sales for this year are larger
than usual, and the men feel more independ-
ent for that reason. They will try to get
the wages paid three years ago.

A YOUNG FRENCHMEN WORKS WONDER
FUL CURES NEAR La ROCHELLE.

An astonishing story of miraculous
healing was reported yesterday from
the island of Oieron, near Ia Rochelle.
A young man is said to have become
suddenly endowed with miraculous
power TO eur all sorts of physical in
flrmities. He uses neither ~incanta-
ton, hvpnotism nor drugs, but simply
places his foot against those OF the pa
tient and makes movements with his
hands over the parts afflicted, thereby
etfecting a complete cure. His popn-
larity is increasing by the fact that He
makes no charge for his services, but
simply says after the gestuers are COM
pleted 600 in peace You are cured ?"
Sometimes one visit is not enough
but three never fail to expel the dis
ease. The halt and the blind hasten
to him in crowds. He exercises his
powers at certain hours only, and
nothing will tempt him to break this
rule.

he believes that their ancestors took
