A STRIKE NOT PROBABLE.
Many of the Lexington Miners Are Not
Satisfied With Conditions. But
Suspension of Work is
Not Probable.

Several hundred Lexington miners did
not go to work last Wednesday, and it
looked for awhile as il a strike would be
the result. A meeting of the miners was
held Wednesday morning and a large
number of them decided to ask the opera
tors for a hall cent advance on the regular
September price. The operators are pay
ing four cents per bushel and the miners
wanted four and a half cents.
A mass meeting OF the miners was held
at the court house last Wednesday even
ing which was addressed by Capt. Wiley,
J. G. McGrew. Mr.. Wiley stated that his
company could not give the advance
asked; that the price of coal was not such
as would justify it. He urged the mem
bers not to strike, as he SAID n would
cause the shutting down OF the mines fer
the entire season.
Mr.. McGrew made a speech in which he
said if the other operators would give the
advance he would, but he was not will
ing to go it alone.
Harry Blee urged the miners not to
strike, and Wm. Goiightly also made a
speech against a strike. Several made
speeches for a suspension OF business.
Nothing of importance was decided at
the meeting. Yesterday and Thursday
the larger part of the miners were at
work. There is a feeling of unrest among
the miners, but a strike is not probable.

Catarrh Poisons.

Catarrh is capable of changing all the
life-giving secretions of the body into
scalding fluids, which destroy and in
flame every part they come in contact
with. Applications to the places affect
ed by catarrlI can do little good save TO
soothe or quiet disagreeable symptoms.
Hence it is that gargles, sprays, atom
izers and inalants only serve as tempo
rary relief. Any medicine to affect a
cure must be taken into the system.
So long as the irritating secretions of
catarrh continue to be formed so long
will the membranes continue to be in
famed. no matter what treatment is
used. There is but n remedy that has
this most desirable effect, and that rem
edy is Pc ru-na. This remedy strikes
at once to the root of the catarrh by re-
storing to the capillary vessels their
health elasticity Pe-rn-na is not a
temporary palliative, but a radical cure.

The ferry company has been talking for
some time of reducing the rates for cross
ing the river so that a great deal OF trade
that properly belongs to this town could
be able to come here. Recently they got
together and decided upon the following
rates:
One and two-horse teams, five
cents each way; horse and rider, fifteen
cents each way. The rate for crossing
footmen, loose stock, ETC., has been re-
duced in proportion. Our merchants will
supply all persons coming from Ray
county to trade here with return tickets,
so the person coming here will get adj
vantage of the extremely low price offered
by our merchants and will be out only
twenty-five cents for passage. More than
that mount can easily be saved on a
small bill OF goods, as our merchants
carry large fresh stocks OF goods and by
reading their adve tisements you can
readily see that they sell at closer figures
than the merchants of any other town in
western Missouri.
There is an excellent market here for all
country produce aud better prices are
paid here than at any town in this part OF
the state.
This new territory being added to our
city will bring here q larger amount of
produce than can be consumed at home,
and will give some wide-a- wake business
man all he can do to handle the shipping
from this place.
This is q move in the right direction
and the ferry company is to be com
mended for reducing the rates so low that
every family in southern Ray county will
be drawn here to trade.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
How II Has Grown Into Favor With
in Sixty Years.

IN sixty years.
Sixty years ago women could not
vote anywhere. In 1S45 Kentucky
gave school suffrage to widows. In
1861 Kansas gave It to all women In
1869 England gave municipal suffrage
to single women and widows, and Wyo-
ming gave full suffrage to all women.
School suffrage was granted in 1875 by
Michigan and Minnesota, in 1876 by
Colorado, in 1878 by New Hampshire
and Oregon, in 1879 by Massachusetts,,
In 1880 by New York and Vermont. In
1881 municipal suffrage was extended
to the single women and widows of
Scotland. Nebraska gave school suff-
rage in 1888, and Wisconsin in 1885.
In 1886 school suffrage was given in
Washington and municipal suffrage to
single women and widows in New
Brunswick and Ontario. In 1887 mu-
nicipal suffrage was extended to all
women in Kansas, and school suffrage
in North and South Dakota, Montana,
Arizona and New Jersey. In 1891
school suffrage was granted in Illinois.
In 1892 municipal suffrage was extend
ed to single women and widows in the
province of Quebec. In 1893 school
suffrage was granted in Connecticut
and full suffrage in Colorado and New
Zealand. In 1894 school suffrage was
granted in Ohio, a limited municipal
suffrage in Iowa, and parish and dis
trict suffrage in England to women
beth married and single. In 1895 full
suffrage was granted in South Aus
tralia to women, both married and
single. In 1896 fun suffrage was
granted to women in Utah and Idaho.

A Necessary Step.

The amendments which have been
made in the senate committee on in
terstate commerce to the Foraker
pooling" bill strongly recommend that
measure to public favor. In these
amendments, pooling" contracts are
limited in duration to four years and
are not to be binding until ratified by
the interstate commerce commission
That commission, in fact, is vested
with supervisory powers over the
whole question of rates and may, upon
the written complaint Of the substan-
tial citizens of any community and
after careful inquiry, require the rail-
road companies to make reasonable
notifications.
These provisions have tendency to
increase the Importance of appoint
ments to the interstate commerce COM
mission, and they will therefore be op-
posed by that class of persons who
cherish the hallucination that this
commission is "owned by the rail-
roads" The more intelligent view is
likely to prevail, however, that the
placing Of safeguards in such hands,
which are responsible through presi-
dent and congress to the people, is dis
tinctly preferable to the utter absence
of Checks upon the pooling" priv
iiege. 1t is conceivable that now and
shen member of the interstate COM
mission, appointed in good faith,
might sell out to the railroads, al
though We have never seen evidence
that this has happened yet; but it is
inconceivable that so long as the pow
or Of appointment rests with the pres
ident of the United States, major

of shippers. The whole tendency of

The Correct View.

An interesting opinion has been hand
ed down by Judge Wilson, of Philadel-
phia, in relation to the right of way
question as between bicycles and
heavier vehicles. The facts in the case
were these: One Thomas Taylor was
riding on a bicycle home from work.
He occupied the middle of the street,
using the paved space between the
street car tracks. He was going in the
direction that the street cars run, when
a cart drawn by a horse approached
over the same course from an opposite
direction, Taylor imagined it to be tte
cart drivers duty to turn aside, aud
kept straight ahead. There was coll
lision; Taylor was hurt, his wheel was
broken and he sued the cart driver for
damages.
Taylor claimed that a city ordinance
in Philadelphia specified that when
drayman driving between the car tracks
is moving in the direction in which the
streets cars rum he is to have the right
of way over a drayman coming in the
opposite direction. Judge Wilson held
that this ordinance has no application
to bicycles. Continuing, he said
The experience of almost every one en-
| phasiZes the Importance of proper AMI
| reasonable regulations for the protection
| of the many thousands of people who use
| the modern vehicle known as the bicycle.
| At the same time it is also to be borne in
| mind that that vehicle is much lighter and
more under the control of its rider than
| vehicles of the other Sort which are
I,.aWU hwVL Ia
| fore, It is the duty of the rider of the BIZ
| cycle to regulate his course and to make
| concessions, which possibly the driver of
| a vehicle of burden ordinarily would not
| be obliged to do. In this particular it is
quite evident that the plaintiff, under the
| notion that he had a right to compel .ne
| driver of the cart to- leave the track in
| order to give to him a free and unobstruct-
| ed passage, remained in his onward course
| so long that the collision which occurred
| was unavoidable. In this he was at fault
| he brought the consequences upon himself
| by his own folly. In our judgment there
was nothing in the circumstances of the
case or in his duty which required the
| driver of the cart to leave the track to
| make room for the plaintiff.
| This is manifestly a sensible ruling.
| The difference between the bicycle and
any other known vehicle is very mater
ial In respect to the fact that it is or
should always be under the riders i'm
mediate control The bicycle rider
supplies his own motive power which
can be applied or discontinued at will;
his wheel is or ought to be equipped
with brakes capable Of stopping the
machine within very small distance
| and il under these circumstances he is
unwilling to make reasonable conces-
sions to more clumsy vehicles less re-
sponsive to their drivers command
then he ought to suffer the consequent
ces. The wheel is a splendid institu-
tion, but in the immortal words of the
poet, there are other pebbles on the
| beach,"
