who was the Clark leader on the floor of
the Montana House, and John ID. Well

was not completed at adjournment. De

Cured"
Mr.. Day admitted having accspted q
present of So. 900 from Mr.. Clark and said
he understood that it was given IS a tes-

The eyes and teeth usually give out
sooner than any other parts OF our

this respect. Some children have to

Some children have to wear glasses.
In the majority of cases the Older

with the eyes. There 10 . vast differ

lose a moment but have them filed
the moment cavity Is discovered.
If the eyes show signs OF giving out
they should receive attention just as
promptly. 1t is ten times as import
ant to preserve the eyes as to preserve
the teeth. Putting OF the matter as
long as you can has the same effect
as allowing the cavity in the tooth to
grow larger. After while 1t will be

Miners and Operators Indulge in

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 3O.-The joint
conference of coal operators and miners to-
day resumed the discussion of the two
propositions submitted yesterday afternoon.
The miners distributed printed copies of the
Ridgley bill-a measure introduced in con-
gress by Congressman Ridgley of the Third
Kansas district and intended to regulate the
proceedings in contempt cases before the
federal courts. The bill provides for trial
by jury in all cases OF indirect contempt.
President Mitchell, for the miners, was
the first speaker. He complimented Opera
tor Chapman of Ohio on his argument yes
terday on the national defense fund"
II think" said Mitchell, 1.-The operators
had better hold a conference among them
selves and agree to give us a scale. | do
not think we can make any progress by
arguments on this floor"
J. S. Morton, president of the Sunday
Creek Coal company of Columbus, o., fol-
lowed Mitchell. He took issue with
Mitchell on the average earnings of miners,
saying that the last year would show many
advantages to the men. Morton declared

CONFEsSES TO MANY CRIMES
Ex-Convict Riley Admits He and
Jones PLANNED to Hold Up Mis-
souri, Pacific Train.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 3O.-A man be-
lieved to be Charles Jones, alias Charles
Johnson, who shot John Jackson, the rail
way detective, at Holden yesterday, was ar
rested near ottawa, Kan, today.
The identity of the would-be train robber
arrested at Holden yesterday has been es-
tablished. He is George Riley, an eX-con-
vict, and today admitted that he and Jones
had come from Wyoming a month ago and
planned with a man whom they called
"Slim" of Pittsburg, Kan, to hold up the
Missouri Pacific train Sunday night.
Slim" is doubtless one of the men still
being pursued by the Holden posse. Riley
today confessed to holding up the station
agent at Independence, Mo-, last week, to
robbing the Pittsville postoffice, the %robbing
and subsequent burning of a store at Kings
Vile and the theft of two fine horses.
Riley in May last finished a term in the
Missouri penitentiary for shooting Tom
Clark near Lamont, Mo. Detective Jackson,
who is in the hospital at Sedalia, is reported
