low was singing said the judge, and
the words, "I'll Be There When the

pathos of these words rang in my ears
as l left the cottage"
The testimony at the coroner's in

the good roads movement In the es-
Establishment of the creameries. To
these must be made the daily trip
with the milk from the dairy, whether
it rain or shine, and whether the road
be axle-deep in mud or felloe-deep in
dust. Where the milk has to 60 to
the creamery there can be 70 staying
at home until the road dries, for milk
is a perishable product and its limit
OF preserved sweetness is narrow
one. Even when the road is dry the
value of the milk is impaired, If the
way be rough, by the churning the
jolting gives it. With this comes a
quickened sense of the money value
of good roads which is having the
effect of driving out the crude notions
of road building and repair that have
prevailed, encouraging study Of
road making as real art with it's laws
and rules, and banishing the notion
that land that is useless for any other
purpose is good enough for roadway.
The FREE PRESS notes that every
creamery is becoming the focus where
center better roads, and to the
creamery must be given one more
credit mark besides those it has
already earned as an economizer Of
time and labor on the farm"

The latest report of the coal strike
is to the effect that it is likely to COL
lapse. In West Virginia the miners
that went out are going back to work
again, and in most of the mines they
ale getting good wages and refusing
to leave. Debs is having poor luck in
his attempt to cause sympathetic
strike. In the Pittsburg district the
men have returned to work in two of
the large mines, and the. strike leaders
are afraid that if they persist in re-
naming the backbone Of the strike
will be broken. In fact, they virtu-
ally admit that their ranks are be-
coming somewhat demoralized. In
the west the miners hive received an
increase of wages since the strike
commenced and very few have left
their work. So far there has been
little violence on the part Of the
strikers, but with the approaching
signs of failure, some bad blood is
being stirred up. ..> @

THE rCREA1ERY A GOOD ROADS
FACTOR,

The st. Paul Globe notes the fact
that the FREE PRESS has commented
upon that the farmer does not grow
enthusiastic over good roads as a re-
suit Of the bicycle. The bicycle has
so far utterly failed in bringing about
the good roads movement that was
hoped for. True it has started an
agitation, but If it were not for other
factors doubtless that agitation would
Idle a bornin'." But the Globe sees
in what the FREE PRESS called atten.
tion to short time ago, that the
creamery is a factor that is going to
WELD a powerful influence for good
roads, and as it strikes the case right
home, will without doubt win. Re.
'erring to the FREE PRESS remarks
upon the matter, the Globe says, after

does not enthuse over the bicycle good

PLANNING FOR DELAY.

When the tariff bill was received in
the senate yesterday, Senator Morgan
announced that it was the intention
of the Democrats to fully discuss the
tariff report in all its political, fnan-
cial and historical bearings. II this
is carried out there will be long de-
lay before the bill becomes law.
This purpose to delay the bill, accords
with the statement of New York
importer, who said that there were
immense cargoes afoat, and about to
be shipped from Europe, and that if
the bill could be delayed two weeks,
it would be thousands of dollars in
the pockets of the importers. He in
timated that arrangements were be-
ing made with the opponents of the
bill to so delay it. When the confer
ence report comes up in the house,
Congressman Dingley stated that on
account of the large importations, the
income from the proposed bill would
be all of s4O,oO0,0o0 short for
this fiscal year, even could the
bill become a law at once. OF
course the purpose Of Senator Morgan
and his associates is to delay it as long
as possible so that it may make as
poor showing as possible for the
present fiscal year, in hopes that they
may be able to make some political
capital out of it for the congressional
elections next year. 1t also. serves to
prolong the uncertainty at present,
and delays a return to that industrial
activity that would otherwise take
place, and they hope to gain from that
in the elections next November. But
the people are tired of the delay that
has so far been INDUCED in, and the
Democratic leaders will hardly gain
much by the delay. The Republicans
have shown every disposition possible
for the rapid passage of the bill, and
the responsibility tor any further de-
lay must rest upon the shoulders Of
men who are badly tinged with
silverism.

A WRECKED WHEEL.
A Lady Bicyclist Has . Very Mar.
row Escape From Being Rum Over.

Monday at about quarter at
ter nine o'clock people who were on
the sidewalks at the corner of Front
and Cherry streets witnessed what
might have proved to be serious &C.
cident. DR.. Steel was driving south
on Front street close to the east curb
ing, and Miss Cornelia Glotzbach,
stenographer for Pau & Pau. was
riding in an opposite direction along
the street, close to the same curbing.
Neither saw each other until they
were close together, as it was rather
dark, and each thought that the other
would turn toward the center of the
street. As they approached close to
each other, and there was not enough
room to pass between the team and
the curbing Miss Glotzbach started
to turn to the left to attempt to
pass in front of the horses, but was
unable to do so and ran between
them. She was thrown to the ground
but miraculously capped with pain
full bruise on her right shoulder.
Several persons ran to her assistance.
The horses tramped upon the bicy-
Gle, carrying in along with them a
few feet, and when it was rescued
it was almost complete wreck,
necessitating extensive repairs.
Such accidents would be avoided if
drivers aid wheelmen would both
remember that the law entities them
to the right of the road. II each will
turn to the right no accidents will
occur.
