INDEPENDENT Operators Up In Arms.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 2.-Scranton's in
dependent operators came back from
the Wilkesbarre conference with
blood in their eyes. They declare they
will not join in the proffer of 10 per
cent increase unless the coal carrying
companies agree to reduce their tolls.
or, to be exact, allow them IS per cent
instead of 60 per cent of the tidewater
selling prices for their product. They
are not making 10 per cent on their in
vestments, they declare, and if they
have to increase wages 10 per cent it
will practically wipe out their margin
of profit and they might as well close
up their mines. A committee Of the
local independent operators left on
the midnight train for New York to
protest against being forced by the
coal carriers into an agreement which
means their undoing unless the car
riers give them better rates.

ONLY GLUE IS FALSE ETEETH.
Severed Head of Unknown Person Found
In Cedar Lake, Near Chicago.

In Cedar Lake, Near chicago.
Chicago, Oct. "A silver tooth
plate, to which two false incisors Of
the upper jaw were wired, is the only
clue to the identity of the severed
human head that was found tied in
grain sack in Cedar lake, just across
the Indiana state line.
Identification of the victim of the
supposed murder by means of the head
is absolutely impossible SO far as rec
ognizing the features are concerned,
because the head was packed in quick
lime before being thrown into the lake
and the features were destroyed by the
action of the chemical. The only hope
of getting clue to the mystery is that
the dentistry work may be recognized
by some dentist.
