BELIEF THAT STRIKERS WILL VOTE TO
RETURN TO WORK


Scranton. Penn, Oct (speciaD.-what ac-
ton VIII be taken by the strikers tomorrow re-
gardIng the 10 per cent advance offer was a
question much discussed through the anthracite
region to-day. The operators believe that the
men will return to work without waiting for
President Mitchell to call a convention to con-
slider the offer. The action of the Lackawanna
company in removing all it's mules from the
mines after fifteen years continual service
der ground is taken as an indication that that
company discredits the idea that the miners will
resume work soon 1t is noticeable fact, how
ever, that the animals have been stationed in
the stables adjacent to the collieries to which
they belong and IL necessary be lowered to
the shafts in a short time A prominent indi-
vidual operator while discussing the strike situa-
ton, was emphatic in his statements that the
strike was practically over. He said:
These companies would never have made the
offer of an advance had they not known that
President Mitchell would accept it. In fact,
know that they were in position to know that
Mr.. Mitchell would accept the advance,
This opinion was shared by a number of
operators. but were as pronounced in their
views as the quoted above. All unite, how
ever, in saying that it would have been poor
policy and extremely foolish move had the
offer been made without any knowledge whether
not it would be considered.

A QUEER INDUSTRY.
North Carolina Town Where Roots,
Herbs and Seeds Are the Princi-

In town of western North Carolina
are outbuildings resembling huge
barns, which will be sure to attract the
attention of a stranger. The passing

Near the elevator men seemed TO be

and dozens of Others are strongly min
gled. This establishment is an herbari-
um, the largest of its kind in the world.
and handles every year immense guam
titles of medicinal roots, barks and
herbs
There are said to be nearly $500
plants in the western part of North
Carolina, which are credited with
medicinal properties. About 1900 are
always in stock here. These herbs are
the raw material from which most of
the so-called patent medicines are man
ufacture. Different parts OF the plants
are used. In some the leaf is valuable
as the catnip, used TO induce perspira-
troubles; the tansy, the Scotch broom,
the blue gentian, the peach tree, the
iverwort and dozens of others. The
peach leaf is considered TO be Of special
value in preventing nausea, while the
wintergreen aids digestion.
The bark of the wild cherry and of
the dogwood are considered to be ex-
cellent tonics. The reddish brown bark
stripped from the root Of the sassafras
is shipped by the carload. Sometimes
the root itself is sought, as the male
fern, the snake root and the star root,
which resembles a sand fiddler. The
dandelion, the hemp and the pleurisy
root are all here.
In the case of the fennel. the fax.
parsley, sunfiower, red pepper and the
watermelon, the seeds are gathered.
Peach kernels are also valuable. White
clover blossoms, rose petals, corn silks.
elder flowers, hollyhocks, ox-eye
daisies, all have their uses. In fact,
almost every flower or weed has. or is
