COAL GOES UP AGAIN.
THE HIGHWAY ROBBERS AT
WORK ON THE PEOPLE.
Tho Strike OF the Dangerous Glasses"
Against the Welfare OF she People
Successfully Carried Outflow Long
VIII tho People Submit?

Within the last four weeks the price
Of coal was raised by order of the coal
and railroad ring In the East about two
dollars a ton.
These pirates not only determine how
much the American people shall be
taxed to keep warm and save them
selves from freezing to death, but their
ring actually DEGREES the amount Of
coal the people shall be permitted to
have, by regulating the output"
All the anthracite coal mines are in
five counties in Pennsylvania and six
coal and railroad companies absolutely
contEpl the mines and the railroads
leading to them.
People owning coal lands in that re-
gion cannot mine the coal because the
monopolies will not furnish them
switches and other shipping facilities.
AS a result, these commercial pirates
can do just as they please and force the
price up beyond all reason.
The miners in the anthracite receive
about twenty cents a ton for mining
the coal, and people in the DakOtss pay
as high as SIT a ton for it.
In Milwaukee the price has been $4.75
and has now been raised by order Of
the Eastern coal ring to $3.50, with a
prospect of an additional raise.
The coal kings in order to maintain
the price decide in their meetings how
much coal shall be mined in year,
regulating the output" they call 1t.
The annual output is about 55,OO0,OOO
tons and figuring the unjust extortlon
of the ring at only three dollars ton
on the average, which is certainly a
very low estimate, the illegal" robbery
amounts to
$3.50, 100000 A YEAR,
Or nearly as much as the total amount
of tariff duties the government collects
each year.
That is the robbery on one commodi-
ty only. Now figure it on all necessl-
ties and then dear republican and dem
ocratlc voter ask yourself how much
longer you are going to play cats paw
for the trusts, syndicates and other mo-
lists.-Milwaukee Advance.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 22.-Senti-
ment in favor of carving the state Of
Superior out of the three Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota counties at
the head of Lake Superior is growing
very strong. Friday afternoon in the
Minnesota senate Mr.. Spencer, repre-
senting the Duluth district. speaking
on the senate's adverse action on an
appropriation for a normal school at.

This is the first time that have explained
my vote this session. but wish to enter my

nection with this bill. and want to serve no
tice and give due warning, that as result of
it, Minnesota will lose her brightest

declaration by Senator Spencer indi-
Gates that St. Louis county, Mimi,
also wants to become a part of the
state of Superior, although it is stated

BRUTALLY SLAIN.
A Woman Murdered in "Jack-the- Ripper
Style in New York.


NEW YORK, April 81 = A murder
which has not been surpassed for
atrocity since ''Old Shakespeare was
found butchered in the East River ho-
tel three years ago was committed
in Thompson street or it's immediate
vicinity early Sunday morning. The
victim of the crime was a woman
known as Alice Walsh, frequenter of
the region around Thompson and
Sullivan streets, who was found
in a pool of blood in the hall
way of No. 143 Thompson street
shortly before o'clock. She was
still living, but died in a short time.
The body was taken to the morgue,
where an autopsy was held. The re-
suit of the doctors investigation
showed that most brutal murder of
the type made famous by Jack the
Ripper" had been committed. The
dead woman was evidently a woman of
the town and was about 25 years old.
The body was covered with bruises.
The weapon with which the wound
was made, the doctors said was either
a stilletto or long knife sharpened to
a razor keenness. It might have been
a razor, but this was considered rather
unlikely, owing to the force which
would be required to force the razor
into the woman's body to make such Il
wound as the one from which she died
The weapon had penetrated to a dis
lance of inches,
The police department immediately
went to work on the case, and Sunday
afternoon Philip Mewley, who gave his
address as No. 154 Thompson street,
was arrested on suspicion of being con-
cerned in the murder.
