FLOERsHEIN AGAIN
Having More Trouble About the Wages
Paid TO His Men


Mine officials from Plttsburg went
to Finleyville yesterday to adjust a dis
pute between the miners and Henry
Floersheim. 1t seems that the men
were offered their pay at a rate of 35
cents ton instead Of 80 cents, the run
Of mine rate, and they refused the Of
fer. They finally accepted the money,
with the understanding that the differ
ence should be paid to them Mr.
Floershem was the first operator on
the Wheeling division to put in scales
in compliance with the new weighing
law. lie claims that the men loaded
dirt and slack, and when the "a was
screened he did not get more than so
per cent Of clean coal, instead Of so
per cent, on which the 80 cent rate
was based. In order to make up this
difference he cut the mining price four
cents ton.

FIVE BODIES STOLEN.
burglars Break Into a Morgue at Dunnine
The Robbery Carefully Planned.


Chicago, October 25.-Five dead bod
ies-four men and one woman-were
stolen last night from the morgue at
Dunning. The corpses were removed
by men who forced open the doors of
the morgue.
The bodies were those of paupers
at the county asylum. The robbery.
from all indications. had been careful
ly planned and done in most delib-
crate way. The Yale lock on the door
had been broken and the windows
covered with straw board to conceal
those who were working inside. Supt.
Lang is confident that some or all of
those concerned in the affair were
familiar with their surroundings. The
bodies were undoubtedly wanted for
medical purposes, as of the twelve
corpses in the morgue at the time
only those were taken in which con-
sumption had been the cause of death.

MANY STUDENTS
TOLD TO LEAVE
Forty One Names Dropped
From the Roll at Stanford
University.
immortality or Vulgsrity the Charge
Preferred in Number OF
Cases.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec
28.-The faculty committee on doubtful
cases met this morning and dropped
the names of forty-one students from
the college roll. Inferiority in uni
versity work was the cause of most of
the dismissals. A goodly number, how
ever, had charges of immortality or
vulgarity against their names, and
had been turned over to the "funkers"
committee by the committee in charge
of student morals at the first of this
month, when the latter committee
waited" four students for a too
hilarious celebration of the Thanks
giving football victory.
The two committees work together.
A too fragrant violation of college
regulations as regards student con-
duct is summarily handled by the
committee on student morals. Other
students who have charges brought
against them for improper behavior
are referred to the committee on
doubtful cases, which finishes their
career as soon as their work is re-
ported to be poor. Dissipation and
good college standing are thought by
the faculty to be Incompatible
The number of those turned without
the college doors this year far exceeds
the suspensions made in any previous
semester.

ARE
YET ALARMED
Aroused by LIQUIDS Bill to
Amend the Postal
Laws.
AS There Is a Prospect OF the Measure
Being Passed a New Fight
Will Be Made.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call
NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The stated in
tention Of Congressman f. F. Loud to
press his bill to amend the postal laws
relating to second-class mail matter
has led to a renewal of the agitation
which the measure has before stirred
up among the publishers in this city.
Mr. LIQUIDS bill admits as mail matter
of the second class "all newspapers
and periodical publications which are
issued at stated intervals and as fire.
quently as four times year." but pro-
poses to prohibit the admission to this
class of books or reprints of books and
to abolish the sample copy privilege.
At a meeting of publishers held to-
day at the office of the American
Newspaper Company 1t was declared
by the speakers that the bill would be
more far-reaching in it's effects than
its provisions would seem to imply.
Orville ]. Victor, chairman of n COM
mittee selected by the publishers last
year to work against the bill, explained
to the meeting his efforts in Washing
ton, but, despite the protests which had
been made, he pointed out that Mr..
Loud had refused to recede from his
position; that the bill had been re-
stored to the calendar and would be
reached Immediately after the appro-
priations had been passed. T. Alfred
Vernon, John Elderkin and others made
brief addresses in opposition to the
Loud bill.
A committee to carry on the work OF
opposing the measure was appointed
consisting of T. L. Nicely, chairman;
T. Alfred Vernon, treasurer; Ormond
Smith, j. S. Ogilvie and Charles E
Ellis.

Washington, Dec %.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson said
this afternoon to The Call correspond
ent that the celebrated catalogue of
fruits known as Bulletin of the de-
partment had not been recalled by him.
1T could not be recalled, he said, for
it has been distributed throughout the
country 1 can say, however, that
there will be no more copies printed of
that bulletin. We shall publish a re-
vised one as soon as it's preparation is
completed. The new issue will contain
the lists of. fruits of California and
other Western States, the omission of
which caused so much complaint. 1t
should be understood that this bulletin
was not the official work of the de-
partment at all, but was compiled by
the American Pathological Society and
printed by this department for infor-
nation. In other words, while we
authorized its publication we did not
formally approve it and are not respon-
sible for it.
Il think however" continued the
Secretary, that the agitation has done
good: Undoubtedly, the Western State
agents of the Pathological Society will
ne more lHOTOuSn III tnelF future re-
ports"
Pomologist G. B. Bracket of the de-
partment was asked by The Call cor
respondent if any agent of the society
had been supplanted in the Western
States most interested. He referred
the questioner to Assistant PomoI-
ogist w. A. Taylor, who is also secre-
tary of the American Pathological So
ciety. The latter said that the only
change was caused by the appointment
of Professor Wickson of Los Angeles,
professor of horticulture in the State
University of California, and agent of
the society. The secretary has re-
ceived some kilograms complimentary
to Professor Wickson. Pomologist
Bracket also contends that the con-
troversy has been productive of good
and says the future catalogues are GER
tain to be more complete.
I'VE could have added many known
varieties of fruits if the report had
been official with us" he continued
Il have no doubt that the discussion
in the papers will awaken interest in
California in the whole subject of hor-
ticulture and pomology."

wanted q certain COW or none at all. 1t

wife. went into the house and told my
wife. She, the good soul, said Sell her,
but I want the money! l sold the cow
gave my wife couple of dollars and said
Call on me when you want more When
she wanted to buy dress, bonnet or we'd
ding present, she would ask for some Of
that COW money. had paid back several
thousand dollars of the COW money, and
was wondering when the demand would
cease A house was built. It had to be
furnished. We figured up what the fur
nishing would cost. 1t amounted to sev-
eral thousand dollars. I said, Wife, I'll
pay you the balance of that COW money,
and you can pay for furnishing the house
with it, It was a bargain, and the COW
deal was over.' The $40 COW cost the old
senator not far from $40, 900, but he never

A Sincere Estimate.

Fairness - remarked the justice of the
peace in a small community, is regular
hobby with u.s. There's many a time that
a prejudice tries to sneak in and get the
better of me, but I always say to myself
that man who can It be fair had better go
out of business -
"That's good ~ to be-" responded
his neighbor in noncOmmittal t0ne
"And that's the way am, amt it? Did
you ever hear anybody say anything to the
contrary?''
"No; 1 don't know that ever did,
"And haven't you heard that never
took up a case with my mind made up on
either side?''
"A friend of mine who recently lost
suit before you was saying something like
that this morning."
II know it, Even those whom 1 am
obliged to disappoint are compelled to give
me credit for that quality. What did he
say?''
"It's kind of awkward to tell it to your
face'
"Never mind. A man who is truly
modest can distinguish between honest
praise and mere fattery. What did he
say?'
"Well, what he said was that he didn't
blame you for giving him the worst of it,
that the fact that you didn't have gump-
tion enough to form an opinion prevented
you being IN any way biased beforehand,
or afterward either. ''-Detroit Free Press

Slaves In the Spirit World.

a recol.t traveller, they are not without
methods Of communication with departed
friends The customs of "Surmungup,'
which take the place of table turning in
Borneo, are curious, to say the least of it.
When the friends of a dead chief wish to
communicate with him, they subscribe to-
gether and purchase slave. After certain
preliminary dancings and howlings, each
subscriber drives his spear into the victim
while at the same time he shouts out a
message which he wishes to have conveyed
by the slave to his friend in the other
world. This pleasing practice is capable
of the following variation:
A spear of extraordinary length is Sc
lected and grasped simultaneously by all
the subscribers. 1t is then thrust through
the body of the slave, into whose unhappy
ears are shouted the words which he is ex-
pceted to repeat when he joins the departed
