Spain for more troops, as it was known
that he had large army in Cuba.
But he explained this on the ground
that he intends winding the war

that it will take 100000 more troops

MCCALL CASHED UP.
Did Not Herd as rlany Cattle as he
Claimed to.

On complaint of H. L. Waddell, w.
Mccall was arrested this morning on
the charge Of petit larceny. The case
is rather peculiar one. McCall's
home is at Spring Island, and he herds
cattle. In his complaint, Mr.. Wad-
dell says that Mccall last Saturday
pretended that he had eighty-four
head of cattle to herd and that 1924
was due him, whereas it was fact
that he had but forty-nine head of
cattle, of which the right to herd
seventeen head had been disposed Of
to A. Swan. Mr.. Waddell says that
on the strength of McCall's statement
the latter obtained, a suit of clothing
from Waddell, worth S12. He there
fore prayed that Mccall be arrested
and dealt with according to law.
MI. Waddell had some dealing with
Mccall and bought the suit of clothes
for him at a clothing store. Mccall
admitted the truth of the charge and
went out in custody Of an officer and
raised the S12 and enough more to pay
the costs of the action, which was
then dismissed

The reports from various sections
of the country show that there were
over two thousand cases of prostra-
tion from the heat last week. and
close to three hundred and fifty
deaths. 1t was one of the worst
heated spells the country has ever ex-
perienced. While the heat was in
tense in the south, the death rate
from the heat was much higher in
the north.

THE YOUNGERS REFUSED PA r
DON

The board of pardons yesterday
after fully considering the applica-
tion for the pardon of Cole and Jim
Younger, and the evidence offered
therein, unanimously declined to
issue such pardon. At this writing
we have not seen the reasons for such
refusal, but from the sentiment that
has been expressed through the state
there is little doubt but that the
refusal will give general satisfaction,
even among many who have rather
favored their pardon. There has
been a growing feeling for several
days back, that Cole Younger in his
statement of the case did not tell the
whole truth, that he was keeping
back facts with which he was we'll
acquainted, for the purpose of shield
ing some one and there are many
who suspect that person is no less
than Frank James, who it is thought
was the last person to leave the bank
and who shot Cashier Haywood.
While it is probable that the
Younger brothers would have lived
the lives of good citizens had they
been pardoned, still there is a strong
feeling that such pardon would have
had bad influence upon the crimi-
nallY inclined by leading them to
think that they would stand chance
of getting off easily if they followed
such lives. Doubtless the Youngers
might have stood better chance had
they told full and complete story of
the raid with no attempt to shield
any one. Under all the existing cir
cumstances the board of pardons has
probably decided for the best.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by Constitutional
remedies Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, ond unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur

instead of being subsidy it repre-
sented portion of their wages. The
reduction in the tariff swept away
most of the coast trade in coal, and
the New England trade was supplied
from Nova Scotia. Added to this has
been the depressed times caused by
''the step toward free trade" and the
attendant of free coinage agitation,
which caused general shut down in
Industrial centers and lessened the de-
mand for coal. The miners have suf-
fered fully as much from the fact that
they could not have regular work as
they have from the reduction in the
price for mining it. Since September
last it is said that the miners inPenn-
sylvania have averaged only about
81 Der week, and in Illinois from So to
So per week,
If the striking miners but remain
firm and abstain from all diSOrderly
conduct they will retain the sympathy
of the people and doubtless soon win
their point. 1t is said that 1.-THE sup
plies on hand are not sufficient to last
over a month, and with the growing
demand from industrial centers, the
operators will be enabled to pay better
wages and give more regular work.
In the face Of the gradually improv-
ing conditions and the fact that new
tariff law will soon 60 into effect that
will afford the bitimunious coal inter
ests better protection, it is to be hoped
that the present difficulties may be
amicably adjusted so that the miners
may secure living wages.

The Best Is Cheapest.

1t matters not what you buy the
best is always the cheapest in the
long run. This rule applies to insur-
ance as to anything else. And when
it comes to insurance, the farmers
should exercise .great care that they
deal only with reliable companies.

tionably the most reliable company
of it's kind in the Northwest. 1t pays

Among the applications before
the state board of pardons for con-
sideration today was that of William
Haggerty, who was sent to prison
from this county December 20, 1895,
for robbery in the second degree. He
was sentenced for five and one-half
years for holding up party near the
old Omaha depot.
A man named Wendland, while in
a state of intoxication, wandered into
the sleeping apartments of another
family at 10:45 p. m. Saturday, and
the indignant husband, who soon
learned of it, administered a severe
chastisement to him, from the effects
of which he is confined to his bed.
When he has recovered sufficiently to
come into court he will be arraigned
, ON the charge of disorderly conduct.

INCORPORATION VOTED DOWN.
The Prohibition Vote Turns inc Favor
of the Ants.

The proposition to incorporate North
Mankato was defeated yesterday for
the third time. At the second cleo
ton the vote was a tie. Yesterday
forty-seven votes were cast in favor
of incorporation and tifty-two against.
Those who want to shave the village
incorporated say that they will have
another election called, but not until
fall. They attribute their defeat
Yesterday to.the turning against them
.of the Prohibitionists. These people
have heretofore voted in favor of in
corporation, but some OF the
opponents of incorporation circulated
a story to the effect that in case the
village was incorporated saloons
would be opened, and this had the
effect of winning to their side the
Prohibition element, which, although
not numerous, had sufficient strength
to turn the election on a close vote.

THE COAL STRIKE.

The coal strike still continues with
no sign Of an immediate settlement,
although the arbitration boards of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illi-
nois are hard at work in an endeayor
to bring about an understanding be.
tween the operators and the miners.
The miners have expressed a willing
ness to submit their claims to arbi-
tration, and there ought to be no rea-
son why the operators should not be
willing to have the difficulty settled.
The politicians of the Bryan stripe
who see no i'll that is not attributable
to the gold standard charge the pres
ent strike as being result of it. But
the real cause of the strike is from an
entirely different source. The pri-
mary cause is the reduction in the
tariff rate on bituminous coal of from
20 to 30 cents per ton by the present
Wilson law. President Ratchford, of
the United Mine Workers, states:that
that is the chief cause of the present
trouble. The wages of the miner have
been reduced in a measure cores
ponding to the reduction of the tariff
rate: Mr.. Bryan, who was member
of congress when the present law was
framed, and also member of the
ways and means committee, in a
speech declared that the tariff rate on
bitimunious coal was indefensible,
that it was simply subsidy paid to
the mine owner. The miners have
found out by actual experience that

SYMP \ rsa4 AND STRIKES.

1t seems the miners in the coal
mines in which Senator Hanna is in
terested, have not joined the strike
because theyIohad a complaint, but
simply out of Sympathy. This will be
hard blow toie the Popocratic stories
to the contrary This sympathy strike
causes the Chicago Inter Ocean to make
few remarks, regarding it that are
particularly pat on any such occasion.
1t says: 1@
eff employers who treat their en-
ployes honorably and generously are
to suffer from1a sympathy strike, the
same as if they were themselves mean
and unjust, then the effect will be to
discourage fairness and generosity.
Wholly apart from the equities of the
employer there is involved this Ques-
tion of policy: Can the miners afford
to put premium upon unfair and
niggardly dealing, saying, in effect, to
employers of the Hanna type, Your
good treatment goes for nothing?
\ \ \ If, in this strike, the coal
miners who have 40 cause of COM
plant kept right on working, the re-
suit would be to put the operators of
the future on their good behavior, and
all other operators would see from
the experience that it paid to be able
to get out coal as usual while partial
strike was in progress. The effect of
such an object lesson would be es-
pecially good from the standpoint of
the miner. 1t would tend to make all
operators more generous toward their
employees. In the long run, their
sympathetic striking defeats it's
own end"
