union believe they will be able to hold

have the men stand solidly for the
Springfield scale.
The last "a hours have been filed
with more excitement and feeling than
has marked the strike since it's incep-
tion. Braceville, which was first to vote
10 return to work, voted unanimously
to come out again. This may mean a
great deal to the men in that mine, for
the reason that on Sunday the company
posted a notice that those who do not
return to work this morning may con-
slider themselves discharged. and they
are instructed to take their tools out
of the mine. There is also the implied
threat that the company will immedi-
ately begin hiring new men. The min
ers say this latter phase of the question
at BraceSille does not worry them very
much, as they do not believe men are to
be had, and that even if they do come
the men at Braceville will be able to
take care of them.

WESTERN BANKS STRONG.
Money In Plentiful and Eastern Paper
IL Being Purchased.

Money In Plentiful and Eastern Paper
II Being Purchased.
St. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 15.-Maurce
Auerbach, president of the Union bank,
calls attention to the fact that for the
first time in the history of wesern bank
ing the institutions of the west are buy
ing eastern paper. The fact, he says. is
very significant of not only better con-
ditions, but a turning in the scale which
will place the west on more equal foot
ing with the east. Mr.. Auerbach be-
lieves it will not be long before the west
will be in a position to refuse all die
tation. One reason given for this
change is that money is more plentiful
in the west than in the east. Western
banks are full of it, and there is not
large local demand for it. Another is
that cash. wheat is now worth more than
futures. Instead of storing inelevators
the wheat is now being shipped directly
to the seaboard, accompanied by billsof
lading, which are accepted as cash.
Thus the western banks are stopped
from drawing on the eastern banks, eff
fectually turning the tide.

Can the dumb be made to speak? In
ventor Berliner says they can, and that,
too, without much difficulty. He has de-
vised an apparatus which he asserts will
produce sound in the mouth, and with
its aid oil mute will have to do to talk
as well as anybody is to 60 through the
motions of articulation with the tongue,
lips and teeth. OF course the speech
will be in monotone, but it will serve
all practical purposes. If this is true,
Intervention will be of great value. The
scientists should now set to work to dis
cover some way to make the deaf hear.
That ought not to be any more difficult
thanit is to make the dumb talk. =
