TO ORGANIZE
TRI-sTATE COAL TRUST

AS 10 whether or not a coal trust.
embracing all the mines of the states
OF Ohio, Indiana and Illinois will be
successfully organized is creating
considerable comment not only in
the three states directly interested.
but IN all the states that derive their
coal supply from these fields.
That there is a movement to bring
all the mines i'm these states under
one head or management there can
De no doubt, and that the deal, so far
as Ohio and Indiana is concerned. is
practically contaminated seems to be
fact, however, those in a position
to know say that the real obstacle
in the path of the promoters is the
large price that must necessarily he
paid to bring the many mines in this
state into the combination. The
fact that coal is so abundant in this
state has caused a very large number
of mines to be open, and in conse-
quence the coal output in this state
is very large as compared with In
diana and Ohio. In fact ii is nearly
twenty times as great as the output
OF Indiana and considerably greater
than that of Ohio. Therefore, the
price to be paid for the mines will be
proportionately greater.
\ gentleman conversant with the
mining affairs of this state said yes
terday that he did not believe that
the coal trust will be organized, as
he felt that the amount of money re-
quired would be too great for any
company or syndicate TO handle, as it
will take millions and millions of dol
lars to gain control OF the mines in
this state alone. However, he stated
that unless the mines in this state
We're brought into the combination
the efforts to effect a trust in the
other states would be valueless, as
the amount OF coal mined in this
state and thrown upon the market
would be a powerful factor in regu-
lating prices.

AN INQUIRY URGED
President May Order Investiga-
ton of Machinists' GrieV-
ances at Arsenal.
DISCRIMINATION ALLEGED
History of the Case Submitted to
Executive by Mr..
O'ConnelI.

The following dispatch from Wash
ington appears in today's Chicago
Record Herald:
president Roosevelt is giving per-
sonal attention 10 the complaints of
union machinists of their treatment
al arsenals and navy yards. Presi-
dent O'Connell and the members Of
the general executive board of the
International Association of Machin-
lists have had several interviews with
him on the subject, and at his re-
quest Mr.. O'ConneI has prepared n
statement of the complaints at each
government establishment. He sub
mitted TO the president today Il his
tory of the troubles at the Rock Is
land arsenal. and the final settlement
arranged with the secretary of war,
when il was tacitIy understood that
there would be no discrimination
against men because of the part they
had taken in the strike, and tnat all
the machinists would have an oppor-
tunity 10 return 10 work before new
machinists were employed. Mr..
O'Connell declares that only about
one-third of the machiniSts ON strike
were allowed to return to work, and
they were discharged within short
time
Union SIachInIsts Disseminated Against.
I'VE have every reason to believe
that an undue discrimination has
taken place against the machinists
because they are members of the
union concludes Mr.. O'Connell.
Therefore we urge upon you the ne
cessity OF appointing special com
mittee to make an investigation of
the conditions under which the ma
chinists are employed at the Rock
Island arsenal, and further we re-
quest that an order be ISSUED by Won
TO the effect that there shall be alb
solutely no discrimination against a
machinist because he is a member of
the International Association of Ma
chiniSts.'
president O'Connell stated this af-
ternoon he was confident the presi-
dent would direct q rigid invcstiga
ton. and that he would speedily
remedy the conditions. He would
not say whether Il court-martial of
Mai. Blunt is regarded as probable
from the machinists' point of view.
but explains that the president has
assured the executive committee of
the union that justice would be
done"

fire department was called TO the res
idence of James Bahen, 500 Twenty
second street, in the same block
from which the call had come to
kuschmann's barn earlier i'm the af-
ternoon. The second fire was in a
closet on the ground floor and was
eNtinguished with chemical before
the building had been damaged.
some clothing was destroyed, but
the loss was slight.
Again, at $3.50, an alarm came from
the Bloomquist grocery at Twelfth
street and Sixth avenue. \ gasoline
stove had exploded on the second
floor where Mrs. John Fullmer was
preparing supper. Here. again, the
flames were checked with only slight
damage. Mrs. Fullmer, however. was
quite severely burned about the face

y SOUR STOMACH.
Is OFTEN the Real Cause of Sour Tenn
per-

Is Often the Real Cause of a Sour Tenn
per.
That the condition of the digestive
organs has a marked effect upon the
character or disposition is a truism
as old as the hills. Old Ben johnson
wisely said, the pleasure of living
depends upon the liver" and it is a
fact which none may dispute that a
sunny disposition more often results
from a healthy digestion than from
any other cause.
Acid dyspepsia. commonly called
sour stomach or heartburn, is caused
by slow digestion of food: instead of
being promptly digested and convert
ed into blood. bone and muscle, it
lies in the stomach for hours. fer
| menting and decaying creating gases
which cause pressure on the lungs
and heart, short breath and general
discomfort and irritation.
Such half digested food is indeed
poor nourishment for the body, brain
and nerves and the result is shown
in irritable tempers, unaccountable
headaches and that depressing condi-
ton usually called the blues but
how quickly all these disappear when
appetite and digestion are restored.
Laxative medicines only irritatr
the already irritated stomach and
bowels and have no effect upon act
ual digestion of food.
The sensible course to follow is to
make use of simple natural di@estives
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
meals until the stomach has a chance
to recuperate.
The natural digestives which every
healthy stomach contains are pep
tones. diastase and Hydrochloric and
Tactic acids and when any of them
are lacking the trouble begins. The
reason Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets
are so valuable and successful in
curing stomach troubles is because
they contain, i'm a pleasant concen-
trated tablet form all these absolute
~ necessary essentials for perfect
digestion and assimilation of food.
Henry Kirkpatrick, of Lawrence.
Mass, says: Men and women whose
occupation precludes an active out
door life should make it n daily prac-
tice to use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's after meals. / have done so my
self and l know positively that l owe

The success and popularity of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is enormous,
but it is deserved, and every drug

Great Britain has good word for
this meritorious preparation.

BUILT ON LINES OF THE ]. S.
Party Expects to Spend the Winter
Months in the Southern
States.

Prophet L. II. Nichols. of the
Christian Brethren. is expected down
this way shortly with his palatial
missionary steamer. The name of
the boat is the Megiddo, and was
launched few days ago at Lyons.
The name comes from the Hebrew
and signifies God is in this place
with band of soldiers. ihe boat
is said to he a model of convenience
and comfort. or will be when the
furnishing is completed and the
steamer is ready to take its depart
ure for southern waters.
"a hundred people will make their
home in the Nlegiddo," explained Mr.
Nichols to Clinton Herald
reporter. I'm three weeks at
the farthest we will leave
Clinton to commence our work. but
before we go, we will pitch our tent
on the vacant lot near the old sani-
tarium building, where 90 of the band
are temporarily located awaiting the
completion of the steamer, and will
conduct "A NUMBER of revival meet
ingS therein. We have abandoned
the idea of carrying an automobile
on the boat to draw the band wagon
through the streets, and, instead. will
use horses. which will he stabbed on
the boat The band has II pieces.
VIII Preach and Work.
This winter we will go down the
river as far as Memphis. and will run
up the Tennessee river. conducting
revival meetings at the larger cities
along this tributary of the MISSISSIPPI
pi. In the spring we intend coming
north. and will reach Clinton about
May l and remain here two weeks.
This winter we will uSe a tent i'm
which our meetings will be held, but
this plan will be done away with in
the spring. This winter | intend haV-
ing constructed barge 40N120 feet
i'm size. The upper deck will be used
for meeting place. 1t Will be open
i'm front and an apron will be thrown
out upon the shore as a mode of en-
trance. The lower portion of the
barge we will use for machine
shop. You see. we intend to make
the Megiddo self-supporting. and will
manufacture a number of articles for
the market. including an acetyline
gas lamp. Our boat will be lighted
with acetylinc gas instead of cleo
tricity. as was at first intended"
Mr.. Nichols will probably award
the contract for building the barge
to the local boat builders.
Bigger Than the j. =.
The Megiddo is built on the lines of
the new Acme packet j. =. but is
considerably larger than that boat.
1t is equipped with two powerful en-
gines of 125 horse power each and
will he propelled by a 17-foot wheel.
1t has 4O-foot swinging stage. On
the lower deck are the engine and
boiler rooms. kitchen and dining
rooms. and in the rear of the vessel
the stable. There is also a printing
room on the lower deck. In this
room tracts and bills for daily distri-
button about the towns where stops
are made will be printed. On the
second deck is large parlor. 20N30
feet in size. There are so state
rooms on the boat. The upper deck
is an immense parade, the texas be-
ing small. containing but eight state
rooms. The storerooms are in the
hold of the steamer.

ALL HONOR TO PARSLEY.
Curious folklore and History Concerning
This Common Herb.

Curious folklore and History Concerning
This Common Herb.
Some quaint ideas have lowered
around that familiar garden herb and
dish adorner, parsley. In England,
Devonshire folk declare that parsley
must never be transplanted or great
evil will follow. Suffolk people say 1t
will not come up double unless sown
on Good Friday-a notion that expert
ments might surely soon have dis
proved-while jewellers in hampshire
steadfastly refuse to give any parsley
away. Ask them for roses, &ilies, fruit
or rare vegetables, and baLketfuls will
be gladly bestowed on you, but request
a few sprigs Of parsley and you will
be told, with a solemn shaking Of
heads, mo, we pick parsley for
anyone, unless it's paid for!'
The great historian Plutarch relates
an interesting anecdote on the subject
Of this herb. Timoleon was leading an
army against the Carthaginians. but,
as he was ascending a hill from the
top of which the enemy's camp and
all their vast forces would be in sight
he metsome mules laden with parsley:
and his men took IL into their heads
that It was q bad omep because we.
usually crown the seyulcher with
parsley, and thence comes the proverb
with regard to one that is dangerously
Ill. Such q one has need of nothing
but parsley To deliver them from
this superstition and to remove the
panic Timoleon ordered the troops to
halt, and making q speech suitable to
the occasion observed among other
things that crowns were brought them
before the victory, and offered them
selves Of their w accord. For the
Corinthians from ali antiquity have
looked upon a wreath of parsley as
sacred, browning the victors with it of
the Isthmian games" The general
then crowned himself and all his Off
GERS with parsley wreaths, and led
his men to battle, their fears con-
quered; the result being a decisive
victory.
