An important meeting of the

the outcome will be Of great
Importance to operators, miners,
manufacturers, and consumers of
coal in general. A few weeks ago
the fire gbt agents of the various
railroads covering the Indiana coal
fl I'D decided to advance rates 10
cents per ton, and the advance went
into effect two weeks ago today.
Thereupon call was issued for to.
days conference. Isspurpose is to
devise ways a, d means of com p. ling
the roads to come down to the
previou rate. Many of the h aviest
operators are in favor of shutting
down every mine aad shaft in the
Hoosier coal belt in order to bring
the railroad managers to their
senses. This action would cut down
the earnings of the roads thousands
of dollars daily, while it would also
produce scarcity of the product
and serious embarrass consumers.

of this curious combination of pre-

horror that another effect of the drug
was to make the hair drop out Waltz

arsenic eaters rarely live past forty

which she would go through in any at
