was the larger, and there was no help at

How the Coal Trust Robs Labor.

The coal trust robs labor in three
ways:
First.-It robs the miners and han
oilers of coal. One of its chief purposes is
to decrease the output. That means less
work and less wages for miner and coal
handler.
Second. 1T robs the employer of la
Dor by greatly increasing the cost of
coal. This compels him to cut down ex-
penses, and the only way he can do it is
by cutting down the wages Of his en-
ployees.
Third. 1t robs every laboring man,
as it does every consumer Of coal, by
making him pay at least $3.50 a ton
more than the fair and honest price of
coal which competition would fix.
1t robs everybody once, because every
body must buy coal But it robs the en-
ployee of a manufacturer twice. New

There Is Nothing Half as Good!
New Treatment for Hog Cholera.

The following dispatch from Du.
buque, Iowa, will be read with special
interest by the farmers and live stock
men Of this county who have suffered
from the ravages of this dread disease:
"a cure for hog cholera, it seems, has
been discovered under the encourage
ment of such interests Of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railway, and
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul. A
practical hog raiser has been sent
over the lines of these companies, &C
companied by their representative,
and has made repeated demOnstra-
tions with wonderfully successful re-
suits. At Dubuque his work on the
farm owned by Mrs, George B. Burch,
president IF the First National bank,
and operated by Orme BrOsm, was
watched by many interested parties,
including newspaper men, railroad
representatives and veterinarians and
his perfect success of this herd of
hogs, which were seriously sick, is
acknowledged by all. Demonstrations
have also been made at EmmettS-
burg, Perry, National, DelphOs,
points 10 Iowa, where his ability to
cure this disease has been shown and
acknowledged. His last work has
been done on the line Of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad, where
at Bedford, Iowa, he treated herd Of
hogs on the farm of County Supervisor
A. B. Wakeman. Sixteen hundred
had died before the treatment was
begun. But fOrty-four remained and
although these were very sick, they
were put back on full feed in perfect
health in ten days. This disease has
been very fatal, particularly this
season. 10 the state Of Iowa alone
the official estimates put the loss of
it at $500 1t has been considered
an incurable disease and farmers have
been disposed to discredit any meth
DDS Of cure. The railways of the state
have suffered largely from its raw.

efforts to discover and bring into gen.

VI Particular Interest Just Now.
Journal, Saturday.
Last Wednesday bill prohibiting
the granting of free franchises in the
future, and regulating corporations
pow in existence, was presented in
the legislature, but it failed OF a con-
stitutiOnal majority. Thursday the
bill was taken up and it passed the
house by a vote of 81 to 46. 1t will be
of particular interest just now, in
view of the electric light proposition
that will come up before the council
tonight.
The bill provides that as a condi-
ton precedent to obtaining renewal
of an original grant, lease or contract
from any city of the first, second or
third class for light, power, water or
heat, the private corporation seeking
such favor shall, by its president, Sec
rotary or resident manager, furnish
an accurate statement of all material
and its present value used in con-
strncting its plant, as well as a
description and statement of the
present value of the real estate neces-
sarily owned and used or to be ac-
Quired by the corporation in operating
its plant, publication in some news
paper that the statement has been
fled to be made at least forty days
before such contract shall be made
with the city.
Corporations Of the kind mentioned
are to be allowed to provide for the
legitimate expenses of conducting
their plants, including all repairs and
