RATES NOT NATURAL.
That the present rates of transporta
tion on anthracite are not natural Is
shown by a speech made by Franklin
B. Gowen, the celebrated President OF
Reading. Mr.. Gowen had paid particular
attention 10 the coal question, as his
road was most extensive owner o
coal lands. He said
The price of coal should be lowest a

of distance over which 1t is carried. |
should be just that much higher in tn,
city of New York than 1t Is in the cit,
of Philadelphia as is due to the in
creased distance of the former from th'
region where the coal is produced
Mr. Gowen said that a long time ago
but the adjustment of prices has no
come yet. New York pays more for an
thracite than Buffalo, which is furthc

Obituary.
KARL EDMUND BUSCH.

Karl Edmund Busch was born Nav
5th, 1929, in Seldhe, Amt, WOhlden-
berg; Koenigreieh. Hanover He was
reared at home in the profession of a
miller. He emigrated to America in
1856 and settled in ST. Louis, Mo-,
but remained there but a short time
before he came to Rockville, Wis.
where he engaged in mining. While
at Rockville he was married to
Miss Elizabeth Lickel, Dec. 8, 1868
To them were born five children, four
daughters and one son.
Two of the daughters died in early
life and the rest, Lena, Edward and
Lydia are all at home at present, on
the farm in Liberty. For nearly forty
years Mr.. Busch has been a consistent
member of the German PRESBYTERIAN
church, first uniting with the church
at Rockville and later on with the
church at Lancaster.
Some years ago he became troubled
with valvular disease of the heart.
which gradually grew worse as the
years went by, and since last Decem
Der he has been almost wholly con-
fined to the house, the disease making
1t impossible for him to lie down.
On the afternoon of Friday, May 25.
the dread summons came and he
quietly passed away. He was 65
years and 20 days old, a man of sound
keen intellect, a pleasant
companion and kind husband and
father. The body was brought from
the home to the German PRESBYTERIAN
church in this city, where the funeral
was conducted by the Rev. j. A.
Ringold. The burial took place in
the Aupperle cemetery. Monday, Nav
2Sth, and an unusually large CON
course of neighbors and friends by
their attendance and sympathy showed
the high regard and esteem in which
the deceased was held by those who
knew him best.

abling him to uuravel this MISERY in
