A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
ton of DIR A Boschee, a celebrated Ger
man physician, and is acknowledged
to he one of the most fortunate discov-
cries in medicine. 1t quickly cures
coughs, colds and all lung troubles of
the severest nature, removing, as it
does, the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in q strong and
healthy condition. 1t is not an exper-
mental medicine, but has stood the
test of years, giving satisfaction in
every case, which its rapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two mill
ion bottles sold annually. Boschee's
German Syrup was introduced in the
United States in 1868, and is now sold
in every town and village in the clvi-
lied world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price IS cents.

WRECK OF MORNING FAST MAIL
Engine2ls Runs Over Spring
Deratling Engine Trucks.
A small steel spring about two
inches wide and not more than two
feet long, the function of which is
to hold the brake beam back in its
position away from the wheels of
a car truck, this morning unassist-
ed derailed @ g. NV mail train
known as No 9 short distance
west of Logan, and as q result the
company will have rather a large
bill to pay on account Of the long
delay.
Engine 2ls, supposed to be the
fastest engine on this division of
theN NV was pullingth tram with
Engineer Deveress at the throt-
tie. The train was few minutes
behind schedule time when the
Logan station was passed and the
sharp reverse curve near which
occurred the terrible wreck of the
Union Pacific Pioneer special q
few years ago, was the scene of
the dersilment. The front trucks
and drive wheels Of the engine
passed over the obstacle supposed
to have been dropped from one of
the cars on train No IL that passed
only few minutes previous, but
when the trucks under the tender
struck the obstacle both set left
the rails, as did most of the trucks
under the four cars of the trains
equipment. One of the huge rails
with which the main line is built
was torn from its fastenings on
the ties and after being twisted
almost double was thrown from
the rightofway.
After several hours hard work
by the train crew the derailed and
partially wrecked cars were placed
back onto the rails and tie train
reached here about l0:40, sans air
brakes and various other features
of q we'll regulated mail train. The
only injury Of any kind resulting
from the mishap was that sustain
ed by Engineer Deveress, who had
his right thumb painfully mashed
while assisting in the work of re-
placing the derailed cars.

Complimentary to the young

entertained a small company of

North Third street last night.
The greater portion Of the even
ing's festivities occurred behind
closed doors, selections from
Shakespeare, Terpsichore and the
Midway being rendered with q
precision and exactness by the
guests that won for the perform
ers ceaseless applause.

On account of not being able to get
a sufficient supply of water from the

that the city might be supplied with
lights, the Electric Light company has
been compelled to dig well of its own
and begun that work the latter part OF
last week. They did not dig very far
until q layer of rock was struck and
since that time the work has not pro-
crossed very rapidly. But when the

both will have become sufficiently sup.
piled with water, it will be grand

INDUSTRIAL
HARMONIES.


ty feudal rulers. The country
had become sufficiently settled
for one baron's interests to i'm
pinge OH another's, and the result
was fierce and chaotic competition.
Mems lives were mostly spent in pro-
tecting their own territory or trying
to snatch that of their neighbors.
Finally, out Of this chaos of unscru-
pulous individual struggle, cities
were evolved, and out of the cities
principalities, and out of the princi
palities kingdoms. Thus was sys-
tematic and civilized government
evolved, though with a terrific waste
of life, time and wealth.
Our own country has escaped this
savage process as far as government
is concerned, but it's industries have
been going though the same evolu-
tion. AS long as our industrial be-
ginnings were still small and isolated,
there was comparative peace AS
soon as they began to be organized
sufficiently to interfere with each
others territory, there began to be
attacks and reprisals. The feudal
era had begun. The last quarter of a
century has constituted the middle
ages of American industry. There
has been constant and bitter strug-
gle between factory owners, mill
owners and foundry owners for the
rich trade territory close to the pro-
ducers. There has been jangling
chaos of ut-throat competition. The
industrial waste of this condition of
things has been almost beyond COM
putation.
Our industrial development has al
so been retarded by strikes, lockouts
and labor wars. There has been fric-
tion and irritation between capital
and labor. Overproduction has been
another source of weakness and an
other cause of misunderstanding be-
tween employers and workers. Thir-
ty or forty factories in the same line
of production, scattered over the coun-
try and running in blind independence
of each other, naturally often over
produced their commodities. Their
products had to be unloaded at SER
ious loss to the producer. Then the
crippled manufacturer OF foundry
owner naturally, though unwisely,
tried to recoup himself by cutting
the wage scale of his workmen. Of
course this resulted in more strikes,
lockouts and labor wars. The time
will come when this era will be
looked upon as the dark era of Ameri-
can industry.
Today our vast productive forces
seem to be rapidly organizing into

cause the 1nnaDltantS are 1nQ11ferent
to music; on the contrary, it is the
desire and purpose of each one to
have it in his home, as is shown by the
amount of money invested in private
musical instruments, which will i'll
every community aggregate all enor
nous amount, i'll proportion to the
outlay for any other form of pleasure
or education. 1t is simply case of
arrested development wishing to
hear music, we have seen no other
way to that end save to teach our
daughters the difficult art of produc-
ing it with their fingers, usually Oh
the pianoforte. Every house, nearly,
therefore has it's piano; but from
their silent insides no anthem peal
ing startles the passer-by with
strange alarms not once, we should
say, in a month, on all average. We
invest several hundred dollars in deli
cate apparatus, and we expend q
greater or less amount i'll employing
such instruction for our daughters as
we can obtain; but the daughters,
alas, seldom or never arrive The
reason is plain; piano-playing is
profession by itself, and requires
not only as much special education
as any other trade, but very ex-
haustive and long continued physical
training; now we have too many
other uses for our daughters to allow
more than one in ten thousand to be-
come an expert pianist, and none but
all expert can get the proper results
from piano.
We may yet hope to have our mu-
sic, however, for the American in
ventor has not overlooked this field,
and mechanical genius will yet en-
able the daughter to relieve her
shoulders of the burden of mechanical
performance; thus skipping at
once the long and usually abortive
years of finger training, and starting
in where the present system can only
aspire to end. This will make life
much easier for the friends and neigh
bors, and it will be very good for the
girls health besides. And it is all
in the line of natural progress not so
very long ago the daughter was ex-
pected to manufacture the pictures
with which we adorned our walls;
but now we find it cheaper to buy
pictures reproduced by mechanical pro-
cesses; we can have more pictures
in that way, and they are really
very much better pictures than the
young ladies used to make.

capital. Labor unions and fedora
tions are being strengthened and are
welding all increasing influence
They are becoming more responsible,
are getting more intelligent men and
ideas, and are choosing more conser-
vative leaders. On the other hand,
the employers are also passing out of
their feudal stage, and are about to
find better way of living than by
cutting each others throats. This
is the real significance Of the present
momentous movement in the indus
trial world.
Men Of large responsibilities are
cautious about going into any great en-
terprise that is likely to cause loss to
themselves or hardship to those whose
destinies they control. The combines
now forming, if honestly capitalized
and legitimately conducted, will be
in the interest of peace and harmony.
Our producing industries, organized
into great trading companies, COM
bines, trusts-call them what you
will-will be in a position to avoid
overproduction and the terrific waste
Of murderous competition. If they
try to raise prices llegitimately of the
consumer, there are natural laws that
will quickly intervene to punish the
evil Meanwhile, if the labor leader
will meet the industrial leader in
telligently and fairly there is reason
to believe that wage wars, with all
the miseries they entail, are nearing
an end.
Seen from an economic point OF
view, the combining of companies in
to compact and well officered bodies
should place us i'll position to enjoy
industrial harmony and ultimately to
command the industrial markets Of
the world. The conquests of the
future are to be won by industrial
armies. We lead the world in our
knowledge Of labor saving machinery
and in the intelligence of the work
men who operate them. The present
swift evolution may be destined to
place us as far ahead of the rest of the
world as civilization is ahead of
feudalism. The so-called trust move
ment has it's evils, but so had the evo-
luton of European Kingdoms. 1t is
not a thing to be condemned offhand,
but to be regarded as a product OF
natural forces, as a thing to be
studied closely, candidly, fearlessly,
with the realization that we may be
building wiser than we know, for
consumers and wage earners as well
as for capitalists.

Everyone who has used Baxter's
Mandrake Bitters as a spring remedy,
or for constipation, biliousness, foul
stomach, sick headache, impure blood,
pronounce it "the best of all medi-
cine" for those ailments. Ifyou have
not used it, ask some of your friends
about it; the chances are that the first
person you ask will tell you that
there is no medicine so good for them
as Baxter's Mandrake Bitters. Get it
at any drug store for 25 cents. Guar

Past Understanding.

a tradition says that Abraham Of the
Old Testament was. when an infant,
hidden in a cave because Of the perse-
cutions of Nimrod. The first time the
child came out of the cavern it was
night. and he looked up at a star and
cried. This is my Cod But the star
disappeared, and Abraham said, mo,
that cannot be my Cod" After awhile
the moon rose, and Abraham said,
THAT is ny Cod" But it set, and
