MINERS ARE IN WANT.
Effect of Coal Workers. Strike in the
Homes of the Men.

The effects Of the anthracite coal min
ers' strike are beginning to be felt in the
homes of the men. A deplorable case OF
restitution was found in miners family
at Plymouth. The man is out OF work,
and for the last two weeks the mother
and three children have barely existed

urday the poor woman, worn out by her
suffering, became violently insane, rush
ing up and dowr lie streets of the town,
dragging her children after her. The HUI
name Society sent officers TO care for
them. The woman fought, bit and
scratched, but was subdued and sent to
the asylum.
The children wera almost naked, and
had not had anythis-a substantial to eat
for some days. The Oldest, a bright,
good-looking girl. aged II, had nothing
but a pair of old shoes, thin waist and
an old skirt all in rags. The next was
q little gil, 3 years of age, dressed sim

months. had practically no clothes at all,
and was gaunt and esaaciated. At the
Humane Society's room he children were

LIPToN's PORK CORNER.
Enylishmau Said to Control Branch OF
the Chicago Market.

Chicago packers say they are not In the
least surprised at the fact that the price
Of October pork was forced uP to ST.
Especially at this time of the year, they
argue, it should sell at about $40, so, ac-
cording to their figures, Sir Thomas Lip
tons corner has only raised the price ~
above the amount it ought TO sell for.
John Cudahy is one Of the big Chicago
packers who is of the belief that tie cor
ner in pork has not worked wonders in
the way of raising prices. He talked IN
a manner which showed very clearly that
he was not at all surprised at the whole
deal.
THE fact that pork has been forced up
10 SIT at this time Of the year, said he,
sis not un1sual Pork should be selling
at 6$4 cents. Put 100 pounds in barrel
and that would make that barrel worth

Thrown Omen to Settlers.

Thrown Open to settlers.
More than 10000 acres OF land in the
Colville reservation in Washington State
were thrown open to settlement. For
many weeks prospective homesteaders
have been gathering, waiting for the sig
nal to enter the promised land, and the
opening saw a rush Of fully 10000 home
seekers madly eager to secure possession
and set their stakes. The settlers are
chiefly from Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota,
Iowa and the Dakotas. The land opened
for settlement embraces the north aalf OF
the Colyille Indian reservation, when
contains about 100000 acres. The
country is mountainous in character, WITH
small valleys, rolling hills and table
lands The land is extremely rich in min
eral resources and is also blessed with
most desirable climate, extremes OF NOT
and cold weather being almost unknown.
In many localities of the reservation
small grains, fruits and hay grass may
be grown with profit.
