With His Boots On.
DR.. George Kerr, who is medical ex-
sminer for both the Universal Order of Se-

unearthed number of frauds, illustrated
last night how the frauds are perpetrated, by
relating a recent experience. he had been
instructed to examine a case of reported Ill
ness on a little street down towp. He
called about o'clock IN the evening, and,
after vainly beating on the front door OF the
house, went around the back way, and en-
tered the kitchen uuannounced. Three men,
a woman and two children were engaged IN a
violent discussion about something, but i'm
mediately quieted down, when they saw a
stranger in their midst. They could not
speak English and the Doctor asked them
in German where the sick man was.
sob! he's up stairs" said the woman.
The doctor was taken upstairs, where he
found q man in bed. How long have you
been sick?" asked the doctor. ''Since last
night" was the answer. "Ohl you're not
the man l want to see. want to see so and
so."
The woman spoke up, "Oh, that's my
husband; he's sick downstairs. The wom-
an hurried downstairs, and when the doctor
came down he was ushered into the front
room. There was man in bed, wrapped
in bedclothes up to his chin. He was
coughing violently and exhibiting symp-
toms of the greatest agony.
How long have you been in bed?" in
quired the doctor.
1.-TWO weeks" answered the man, in a
feeble voice.

man. do you generally go to bed in your

WEST NEWTON, April 26.-The eight
hour movement among the miners Of this,
the Yough river district, is as yet very in
definitely outlined by the leaders OF the
movement. However, mass meetings are
called for Scott Haven, West Newton, Port
Royal and Banning. for May 1, at which
time the miners of each works will decide
whether to strike Tor the eight hours and
the 10 cents advancesor not.
The operators do not anticipate any seri-
Gus trouble in the adjustment of the wage

cut any figure In the case at all. Very little
enthusiast has been manifested by the
miners over the question.
