since when he disappeared and is an at

Two weeks ago a man giving the name
OF Miller began boarding at the house
where Mrs. Vandergrift and her ,nree-
year-old child resided. She now recalls
that he was Of the same stature as her
husband. and I'm many respects was
like him. but her husband had gray hair
when she saw him last, and most impor-
tant of all his nose was retrousse at that
time.
The man giving the name Of Miller had

The coal strike and the outcome thereof
is still somewhat difficult OF solution A
tour among the leading Wholesale dealers
today revealed the fact that there is a
general unanimity of opinion among them
concerning the most important phase Of
the whole situation.
They, one and all, are OF the opinion
that It is upon the consumer that the Ell
feet OF the strike will fal, heaviest. that
is to say. the Increased price in coal will
be maintained Indefinitely and II is still
a matter OF uncertainty just how soon
there will be any material decrease
Said Mr.. James A. Kinghorn of the
John r. White Coal company: "of course
the consumer will have to pay the cost
Of all this coal strike--in the end.

charges are put on commodity the con-
sumer, in the end, has 10 pay It.
Now this strike has caused the loss of

the maximum price"
THE -fnanaREEE-tf4HEfr EfrovtdcHee@e
Company was also OF the opinion that the
whole effects of the strike would fall upon
the consumer
He was not inclined 10 express any
opinion as 10 the probable price OF coal

base a reduction on.
THE strike. to my mind. is not settled

relieve the situation except promises and
those are not authentic.
Suppose we don't get any coal for the
next two or three weeks? Then the price
will go up still higher
Mr. Harry &. Clarke OF the Providence
Coal Company agreed with his fellow
tradesmen that the brunt of the strike
would fall upon the consumer and en-
pressed the opinion that the prices OF
coal would. ere long, be reduced TO Sc or
s6.s5 per ton. Mr.. Clarke. however. could
not predict, with any degree OF confidence
when any such reduction would be made.

supply. When the miners get 10 work a
cianur for coat WITT rryutt all along the

continue much above the normal.
"It Is the opinion OF the trade. however,
that when things settle down 10 a nor
nal basis. that is when the newly mined
coal comes forward freely that whole
sale prices will be IN the neighborhood of
75c ton higher than they were previous
TO the strike. which means that with
higher freights the retail price will prob

"The question is how soon things
will get down TO their normal basis" con-
tinued Mr.. Kinghorn, when the mines
will actually start work, what we call the
line trade will be taken care OF first.
Then the western trade also has TO be
considered as coal must go west before

THE COURT
Cannot
ENjOlN.
So Says Judge TI|Iinghast al
Hearing Of the Roche Do
Creny Case.

Judge Tillinghast suggested a question
difficult for counsel for complainant to an
swer in the equity case of Mary r. Roche
VS.. Annie b. de Creny. The controversy
is over the payment of some notes.
Mary L. Hill OF Boston was insured in
the Supreme Colony OF Pilgrim Fathers
for 5000 and the rules OF the organization
are such that a person insured can change
the beneficiary as often as desired.
Miss Hill changed her beneficiary a
number OF times but for quite period
before her death one half her policy was
payable to Annie B. de Creny and the
other half to Clara Bessey. For quite
little time Miss Hill was sick and Mr..
Hill in his bill in equity says that he was
told by defendant that she would pay
any notes that might be given by Miss
IIiil when she, defendant, got the benefit
payable on the policy.
Charles III. Page, counsel for Mrs. de
Creny said that suit was begun against
his client before she knew OF Miss Hills
death.
The bill filed asked that the Supreme
Colony OF Pilgrim Fathers who were
made parties to the suit and upon whom
process was served under the statute
might be enjoihed from paying the de-
feadant the 5000 she was entitled TO and
that she be enjoined from prosecuting a
suit on the policy until the notes held by
Mr.. Hill were paid.
Judge Tillinghsst said he could not en-
join a party outside the state from doing
anything where the circumstances were
such as in this easc.-Mr.- -pornn-- counsel
for Mr.. Hill thought he could show the
court authorities TO the contrary.
No decision was reached on the second
part OF the petition, the court taking the
papers Mr.. Hill says the defendant has
stated she will never pay the notes
Mr.. Page. defendants counsel says she
Is ready 10 pay anything she really owes.

A Reason For 1t.

Since the opening of the Idaho cam
paign six newspapers published in
towns in the southern part of the state
between Huntington, Oregon and Mont.
pelier, this state, have changed politics
and have'boldly walked over into the
republican camp, and four new recruits
from the same territory have joined
them. This is significant; it is plaih
repubhcansappreciate newspaper work,
The News has no information of the
chghges i'll North Idaho It has rea-
sons, however, for believing there are
several. In the southern territory the
democrats have not added to their num-
ber a single paper. This also is signffi-
can't. The two statements are facts
but for which we offer no explanation.
-Blackfoot NewB.
Well, We can offer an explana.
tion. Here tits. When the repub-
licans come into power anywhere
everything they have in the way
of printing goes to republican
sheets. Witness the work of the
present register of the Land office
at Blackfoot, and compare it with
the methods Of his predecessor, who
professed to be a democrat.
Then again, most of the counties
in Idaho have democratic boards
/ Of county commissioners, and yet
there are as many republican pa
pers in the state doing county
printing as democratic. This all
comes about through mistaken
policy of economy, @ policy only
used by democrats and one fol
which they get no credit from any
body for. No republican board
ever lets anybody, but republican,
do the printing, and this would b
true in Bear Lake as well as else
where, and as q proof we cite Com
missioner Lihdsay's vote on th,
matter at the time the printing 70
this county was let. In face of tn
fact that the EXAMINERS bid wa
the lowest, he still voted to give
to the Post, and We presume vii
do it again.
