The sequel to the coal mine trouble In
Illinois, to which The Herald has called
special attention, is found in the stories
of bloodshed that appears in our news
columns this morning. The threat of
mine owners to take the law in their own
hands has been carried out with terrible
consequences. At least half hundred
men have been killed. The responsibility
for this crime the governor of Illinois
places upon the mine owners, and he
declares that they should be indicted and
tried for murder. The whole difficulty,
as The Herald has heretofore pointed
out, and as Governor Tanner declares,
grows out of the avarice of mine owners
who are determined to fatten their divi-
dends at the expense of labor.

Hueback took him in and told him to
make his house his home until he could

ness required him to keep more or less
money at his house. At one place he
had $3.50 in gold and in another part of
his premises he kept between $500 and
$500 in currency. Several weeks ago
Hueback went to look for his gold and
it was gone. Its disappearance was a
mystery. The denouement came the
other day with the arrest of Horta and
his confession of guilt. He had gam

b5 the fitted table being brought in, the
inconvenience of such plan soon mani
tests itself. Two maids are necessary

How a WelI-KnOwn Maine Man Sue
ceeded in Flooring an English
man with a Hard Name.

Probably the most widely known and the
most popular man in Maine is Payson Tuck
er. A good story told by him is by no means
a rarity, but it is not often that he tells one
involving his own personality. The follow
ing is an exception. Il was returning from
Europe few weeks ago." said Mr.. Tucker,
"and saw more or less of an Englishman
who was exceedingly loud and coarse in
his denunciations of American institutions.
81 stood it as long as [ could, and then
/ decided to politely demonstrate with that
Englishman and show him wherein he erred
in his opinions of Americans.
Have you ever been in the United
States?' | asked him one evening when he
was on one of his strains.
'He looked me over and then said: No,
my good man, / have never been in America
"That angered me, and I said:
What in sheol do you know about what
you are talking Off
Said he to me: Jaw, I see what you are
another of those impudent Americans
L see what you are, too l said to
him. You're dizzle-dazzle whick-a-whack;
that's what you are"
That foored the SOC of Albion, and
thereafter he gave Mr.. Tucker wide berth.

why Certain Family Now Has Its
Messages Delivered at
the Barn.

For the benefit of those persons who
do not live in the suburbs it will be nee
essary to preface this story with word
OF explanation regarding a certain out
of-work popularity of the telegraph
service. In small places near New
York it is the companys rule to deliver
messages free of carrying charges
that is, in city styIe-to all houses with
IL a certain radius of the telegraph Of
flee, which is always located in the rail-
way station. Beyond this dead line"
if the term is permissible, fees are
charged, according to the distance
which the messenger must travel. This
money does not go to the company, but
to the small boy who has been for
tunate enough to secure the job of dis
trict messenger.
After having paid for several tele-
grams without protest or inquiry,
certain family in one of these towns
decided recently that the place in which
they lived must be situated within the
free limit, and the mistress of the house
appointed herself committee of one
TO visit the telegraph Office and investi
gate. The operator courteously
brought out a map of the town and
demonstrated to her by its aid that
while a part of her place undoubtedly
came within the line, that portion on
which the house stood lay just beyond
it.
"How queer!" exclaimed the per-
picked householder. "Well, can't have
kilograms delivered out in the orchard
or in the garden, so l suppose you'll
have to keep sending them to the house
and charging. We don't have very
many coming, anyway"
But the last remark was ill-timed.
That day no less than four arrived
two from friends who had been invited
fer visit and had been obliged tc de-
cline; one from a sister in Chicago, an
nouncing her coming east, and the
fourth from the master of the house,
saying that he would not be at home
for dinner.
"Now, isn't that eXasperating!" com
planned Mrs. - to sympathizing
neighbor. But / know what I shall do.
l have found that the barn is inside the
free line and I'm going to have the mes
sages left there. If the company were
real good-natured l think they might
sometimes stretch point and send the
kilograms to the back door"
Following this plan, the barn was at
last accounts the receiving station, and
mistress thrifty soul was content.-N.
