WILL PAY HIM BACK
Dow WempIe's Friends Start
a Subscription Fund
To REIMBURSE HIM
For Money He Spent in the
Race for Sheriff.

The political associates and friends of
Dow wemple. late fusion candidate for
sheriff, have begun a very creditable
campaign to reimburse him for the
money he spent in the hard but unsuc-
cessful effort to defeat Charlie Simmons.
Lengthy blank subscription lists were
made out yesterday and sent to differ
ent parts Of the county. These subscrip-
ton lists are to be placed in the hands
Of men who will solicit subscriptions TO
the reimbursement fund, which in the
course Of a few weeks will be turned over
to Mr.. Wemple as Christmas present.
It is a worthy act and is expected TO meet
with the success anticipated by the pro-
moters. Mr.. Wemple is said 10 know
nothing of the move, and it was hoped to
keep the campaign a secret until he could
be surprised with the fund as a tribute
from his friends
The movement originated at the court
house and was readily adopted by those
who are familiar with Mr.. Wemple's
campaigns and the two hard fights ne
Bolstered Up by gitterIng promises and
fanciful representations of the fusion
gang, Mr. Wemple was made to believe
that he could wipe the earth with Charlie
Simmons, the Republican nominee, and
he is alleged to have spent more money
than the office of sheriff IS worth. He is
said 10 have been especially lavish in
Wichita, hoping to cut down Simmons
majority in the city to such an extent
that he could override il with his own
majorities in the country. This effort
proved to be a waste of money, for Sim
mons ran ahead of his ticket in the city
and WempIe's effort here proved = be
one without reward or even consolation
The boasts CT his political pushers had
led Mr.. WemDle into a costly trap and
il Is considered that the present method
Of getting him out is but the righteous
duty of his iIl-advisors, as well as a gen.
erous aid to a worthy man.
Mr. Wemple has a host of friends who

tition. Some Republicans viii help be-
cause Mr. Wemple was honest enough in
an interview to construe the Populist

a manner not wholly in the interest of

Charles Goodyear, deputy district clerk,

FROM QUAKER TO ACTRESS
Miss Stewart Tells How She Came to
Choose the stage.

Miss Elizabeth Stewart, supporting Paul
Gilmore in The Three AIusketeers. was
entertained by Mrs. ]. Oak Davidson
yesterday, and was an acquaintance Of
Mr. and Mrs Davidson when they re
sided in Chicago. Miss Stewart was one
OF the society bellies Of the South Side
and Chicago knew her before she made
her appearance on the stage and won a
place as a star in histrion.c art
Those who saw her lively im2ersona-
ton Of the queen of France and her
strong support of Paul Gilmore in
Dumas romantic play last night would

When did you make your first appear

explain. I had studied and graduated in
the Chicago School of Dramatic Art
which practically fitted me for the stage"
Would You recommend such a school
for stage-struck girls?"
YES, indeed. IL they are bent on tax

IS grand"

Position of the Plumbers.

The plumbers who went back to
work yesterday will adopt the same
plan regarding "sCab" labor which was
in vogue before the strike was declared
last June. That is, while they will re-
fuse to work with any non-uniOn men
of their own trade, they will not make
this distinction regarding other nom
unioa labor which may be employed
on the building where they are work
ing.
The Building Trades council has re-
linquished all control of the men who
have been out on strike and has left
the option of returning to work and all
other matters regarding this to the dis
erection of the individual unions afnli-
ated with it, hence the position taken
by the plumbers.
1t will be seen by the above that the
strike is no longer officially recognized
by the Building Trades council.

The November letter Of the Anthra-
cite Coal Operators association says
OF the condition of the hard coal mar
ket:
The anthracite market during October
has shown the activity usually expected
in this month. At all points there have
been urgent demands for immediate ship
ments, which have gone forward as
rapidly as the coal could be mined and
transported. Serious difficulties have been
encountered in both Of these particulars.
At the mines there have been an insult
Iicient number of men and the usual will
lngness to work full time, and, in trans
portation, a scarcity Of both cars ard
motive power. Consequently it has not
been possible to send forward as large
q tonnage as the market required.
Prices have ruled fairly strong and
steady throughout the month. At its be-
ginning there was still much coal going
forward on orders based on spring prices
but an effort has been made to clean
these out, or cancel them. with a conse-
quent Improvement in the tone OF the
market, and in averages
November opens with a strong market
and demand for a greater tonnage than
there seems any possibility of sending FOR
ward. Both the miners and transpOrter5
will be required to put forth their best
efforts to prevent an actual scarcity OF
fuel. Even when navigation closes, which
may be somewhat early this year, there
will not be enough coal withdrawn from
Western shipments to over-supply the
Eastern and Southern market. The West
is distinctly short Of coal and il will be
impossible to forward sufficient stock TO
relieve 1t, unless, as now seems probable,
heavy rail shipments are made when the
lakes close.
1t is uncertain whether further price
circulars will be issued, but in any event,
the companies will sell at such advances
as the market will bear and these. it
may be expected, will not be inconsider-
able.

Increase of Coal Tonnage.

The coal tonnage Of the Erie rail-
way will be increased materially from
now on by the return of the miners to
work on the hituminous properties con-
trolled by the company in the Bloss-
burg district, south of Elmira.
During the last three months the
Erie railway has not only been com
PEELED to buy its service" coal from
other producers, but has likewise not
received the usual tonnage of its own
bituminOus production. The daily out
out of the BlOssburg mines is 1900 tons,
most of which is used by the Erie rail-
way in its own locomotives.
The Reynoldsville mines produce 5000
IONS daily, upon which an average of
II per ton is obtained by the Erie rail-
way for transportation

Castor Oil For Toothache.


'This talk about careless and in
competent DOCTORS" said the captain,
"amuses me, because the fellows who
do the talking assume that there were
no careless doctors in the old Union
army. But with the good ones we
had some bad ones. While in winter
quarters in 'e2 our surgeon, old Major
S.. was made brigade surgeon, and the
first assistant had charge of the hos
pital, which was wall tent and about
as cold as a modern refrigerator. The
young sawbones pinned his faith to
two remedies, castor oil and quinine.
One morning at sick call one OF the
boys showed up with q roaring tooth
ache. The doctor prescribed castor
oil. Naturally the fellow kicked and
said that he did not think castor oil
reached his complaint. The doctor
replied that decayed teeth were caused
by disordered stomach, and If the
stomach was all right the teeth would
be all right, and if he did not take the
oil he would not be excused from
duty. The fellow with the toothach'
took the oil, which was dug out OF
lar with a spatula by the hospita
steward, as it was frozen to the con
sistency of good ice cream, and wen
| on his way swearing. That same doc
tor has good practice to-day In on
of the largest cities in Ohio."-Ch'
