finished them,' said Mr. Wildman
with laugh. Through the '8O's the
prices varied from 10 to zoe, but in 81
and 'o2 there was again a jump to high
prices, 25, % and 32c. The 1913 was a
poor crop and brought nothing, and
prices went backward till '98, when
good prices prevailed. For the last
two years the prices have been very
satisfactory to the farmers. e..

THE FIRE STILL BURNING.
Blaze in Mine Near I.ichmondale
Will Be Headed Off.

Readers will remember that during
the recent miners strike a fire broke

ings near Rlchmondale. Some time pre-
vious to that there had been fire on
the surface near the old Buffalo break
er and, cave-ln occurring, part of the
burning culm dump dropped down into
the mine, igniting the coal.
The strikers at once delegated men
to assist In subduing the fire. Their
efforts were, however of no avail ana
the blaze rapidly spread. Seeing that
the plan they were following would be
futile, it was decided to check the
spread OF the fire by driving an open
ing across the vein of coal in the path
the fire would naturally run. This
work is now we'll under way and it
would seem as though It will accom-
plish the purpose desired. Several
thousand tons OF coal have been con-
sumed already and the loss to the COM
pany will be heavy. The fire will. how
ever, in all probability communicate
into the adjoining workings of the new
Buffalo colliery, although there is not a
large amount of coal left there.
The opening to the new drift being
far removed from either railroad or
breaker, the company has decided to
let contracts to teamsters for trans
porting 1t to the railroad.

WAGES SUED FOR.
Five Miners Bring Actions Before
Alderman Delevan.

Five suits for wages were brought
against the Black Diamond Coal COM
pany on Thursday before Alderman
X. ]. Delevan, of the sixth ward. The
plaintiffs in the cases were former
employees, who claimed, amounts due
them as follows: George Melon, $40.
Alexander Gogots, $40: Charles Bank
er. $3.50: William w. Banker, s5.o3;
Philip Gogots, S1S3l4. The company
was represented by II. n. stuart, esq.
and Philip Gogots by Attorney Louis
,Gramer.
The first case called was that of
George Melon, but he soon repented
of his action and withdrew II, the al
derman assessing him for the costs.
Philip Gogots, who claimed sl331i
for work done during the months of
October, November and December,
next took the stand for himself. This
case was a long and complicated one.
1t seems that before the strike Gogots
and partner named Smith took q
contract with the Black Diamond Coal
company TO cut, load and deliver at
the breaker all the coal produced in
the Black Diamond mine. The strike
came on and no work was done for six
town and Gogots claims he gave up
the contract. but that President Thorn
as agreed to give him $3.50 per day
for his labor, but that when he went
for his pay the company said that they
would have to hold him to his contract
The question involved in the suit was
whether this contract was binding at
ter work was resumed when the strike
was declared off. Gogots proved by
several witnesses that the company
paid the laborers, and he claims that
this was proof that the company, not
he, were the employers OF the work.
men.
Mr.. Thomas, the president. claimed
that instead of the company owing
Gogots that the plaintiff owed the COM
pany about s12, as they had paid to
his laborers that much more than was
coming to him. Mr.. Thomas said that
at no time did Mr.. Gogots give up the
contract. He had shortly after the
strike asked for an increase in rates,
but this was not granted. He said the
laborers were all hired by Gogots and
that the reason the company pa
them because 1t was the custom where
he came from; Gogots handed In the
mems time and this amount was given
them and deducted from the contrac-
tors pay; the men had asked to have
their wages so protected because they
doubted Gogot's honesty. And then
also, this enabled the men to get orders
for merchandise during the month.
Gogots admitted that he had hired
the men. but claimed that 1t was for
the company, as he had been made boss
and timekeeper by Mr.. Thomas when
the contract was surrendered. Both
sides swore several witnesses and the
attorneys made short pleas.
The remaining cases were similar in
nature and were tried together. The
amounts were for balances due over
and above orders which they had been
given.
The alderman took copious notes OF
the testimony and stated that he would
render decisions in all the cases or
Monday.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE,
One Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked.

Headache is a symptom, an indica-
ton OF arrangement or disease in some
organ, and the cause of the headache
Us difficult to locate because so many
diseases have headache as n promi-
nent symptom; arrangement OF the
stomach and liver. heart trouble, kid
ney disease, lung trouble, eve strain
or Ill fitting glasses all produce head
aches and IL we could always locate
the organ which is at fault the cure
or obstinate headaches would be a
much simpler matter.
However, for that form of headache
called frontal headache, pain back Of
the eyes and in forehead, the cause
Is now known to be catarrh Of the
head and throat: when the headache
is located In back of head and neck II
Is often caused from catarrh of the
stomach or liver
At any rate catarrh Is the most
common cause of such headaches and
the cure of the catarrh causes a
prompt disappearance OF the head
aches.
There is at present no trea tment for
| catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new IN
ternal remedy in tablet form, COM
posed Of antiseptics like Eucalyptol.
Guaiacol and Blood Root which act
| upon the blood and cause the elimina-
| ton of the catarrhal poison from tho
| system through the natural channels.
Miss Cora Ainsley, prominent
| school teacher in one of our normal
| schools, speaks OF her experience with
| catarrhal headaches and eulogizes
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as cure for
them. She says. "I suffered daily
from severe frontal headache and pain
in and back of the eyes. at times SO
intensely as to incapacitate me in my
daily duties. l had suffered from ca
tarrh, more or less for years, but never
thought 1t was the cause OF my head
| aches. but finally became convinced
| that such was the case because the
headaches were always worse when
| ever had a cold or fresh attack OF
catarrh.
| "Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were high
| 1y recommended to me as a safe and
! pleasant catarrh cure and after using
a few fifty cent boxes which I pro-
| cured from my druggists I was sur
/ prised and delighted to find that both
the catarrh and headaches had gone
| for good"
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by

under the guarantee of the proprietors

having disabled them. Should the
mines become Hooded a large number
