SITUATION AT
COXE'S MINES
Striking Employees Are Still
Standing Unitedly.
Company Is Able to Partially
Operate Only One CoIIiery.
Rumors of Another Settle
ment Proposition.

On the surface there is no perceptible
change In the strike At Coke Bros. &
Co.'S collierles, but there are rumors
afloat that the corporation has under
consideration another settlement propo-
sition which it will soon present to the
strikers. These rumors cannot be veri-
fed, however, but they come from the
company's side and bear some marks OF
reliability.
The strikers are conducting them
selves In a most creditable manner.
The men who are working at DrIfton,
where Coke Bros. & Co. have concen-
trated their entire force OF non-union
employees, are not molested in any way,
the strikers even refusing to stoop to
ask them to join their ranks.
The relief committees Of the locals
composed OF Coxe's strikers have had
their allotmehts OF relief money trebled
and many OF the families OF the strikers
are faring better today than they ever
did while working for the Drifton cor
poratIon. Return to work under exist
ing conditions is not thought Of.
On the part OF the operators, Drlfton
is the only place where an effort has
been made to resume. There men have
been gathered from Eckley, Beaver
Meadow, Oneida and the other towns
controlled by the Coxes, and as result
OF the combined work OF the non union
lists and Office workers train OF coal
varying from seven to eleven cars Is
daily shipped from Drifton breaker.
This pitiable showing is the best that
can be done, Notwithstanding the fact
that several thousands OF tons are lying
cut In strikers breasts, from which the
non-unionists are loading.
1t is conceded by those in position
to know that the quantity OF coal sent
to market by Coke Bros. & Co. is not
sufficient to pay the expense of running
Drifton collery. However, as those In
charge are known to be more stubborn
than sensible, and since they do not pay
the losses, there is not much hope Of a
change until the stockholders come to
their senses and realize how their valu-
able property is being wrecked.

The Commissions Work.

President Mitchell, the frst witness
for the miners, who was on the stand
Friday and Saturday, was again in the
witness box today before the Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission. So far the
attorney of only one company, David
Wilcox, Of the Delaware and Hudson,
has cross-examined him. Wayne Mac
Veagh, who is representing the Penn
sylvania Coal Company and the Hillside
Coal and Iron Company, is still engaged
in carrying on his examination.
1t is not definitely known how many
of the other companies desire to have
their attorneys question the miners
president.
1t is probable the witnesses for the
mine workers will take up all of the
week 10 giving their testimony. Next
to Mr. Mitchell, the most important
witness for the miners will probably be
Thomas D. Nichols, president of Dis
trict No. 1.
The commissioners have not decided
upon any future arrangements. 1t is
likely that the entire case of the miners,
which is now being presented to them,
will be heard in Scranton, and it de-
pends largely upon the wishes of the
coal companies where the commission
will hear the operators side of the
questions at issue. The commissioners
are satisfied to hear both sides in Scran-
ton

Secured a Position.

Bernard Boyle, of North Ridge street,
who for several years was employed as a
telegraph operator by the d. S. & S.
Railroad Company, and who was sus-
pended last May owing to the closing
of his office on account OF the strike and
was refused employment by the officials
when the Office was reopened, will begin
work this week as book kkeeper for the

Mr., Boyle is a bright and energetic
young man and his friends will be pleas
ed to learn that the Drifton Company's
unwarranted refusal to reinstate him
has been followed by his present success.

Met Defeat at HazIetOn.

The first foot ball game this season
between Hazeton and Freeand clubs
was played at Halle park Saturday
afternoon and resulted in defeat for
the local team, the Crescents failing to
score, while their opponents made 12
points.
The game was warmly contested and
was interesting from the beginning to
the end. Both clubs gave exhibitions of
scientific playing, but the Hazleton
eleven was somewhat heavier and did
better team work, and to this is at
tributed the defeat of the Freeland
boys.

Showing the Way.

Most of our readers know all about
the aches and pains OF a bad back;
very few people are free from sick
kidneys, as the kidneys are the most
over-worked organs of the body and
go wrong" at times, no matter how
well the general health may be. The
trouble Is so few understand the indi-
cations OF kidney trouble. You are
nervous, tired out and weary, have
stitches, twinges and witches Of back
ache pains, but lay 1t to other causes
finally the annoyance and suffering at
tendant with urinary disorders, reten-
ton Of the urine, too frequent urina-
ton, make you realize the seriousness
Of 1t. AT any stage you should take
remedy that will not only relieve but
cure you. Read the following and
profit by the lesson it teaches:
Q. j. McMurray, a resident of Free
port, ILL.,, address AZ Iroquois street,
says: II have greater faith in Doan's
Kidney Pills to-day than l had in the
fall Of 1897, when first took that rem
edy, and 1t cured me of an acute pain
across the back and imperfect action
OF the kidneys. Since made public
statement of these facts and recon-
mended Doan's Kidney Pills to my
friends and acquaintances, thoroughly
believing as l did, both from observa-
ton and experience, that they would
do just as they were represented to do.
L am still pleased to re-endorse my
statement given to the public shortly
after first began to use the remedy"

ray will be mailed on application to

Memorizing Made EASY.

Most persons have tried some method
of mental association by which to fix
things in their memory. Sometimes
one finds that the memory pegs did not
hold. The New York Times tells of
a reporter who met with disaster from
trying an easy method of mnemonics.
He had to write about Mr.. A. r. Col
quhoun, the English traveller and en-
gineer He was told that after Mr..
Colquhoun's name should be placed the
letters M. |. G. E."-Member of the
Institute of Civil Engineers.
That's easy to remember" thought
the reporter. IN. l. G. p. spells mice. ,
Can't forget that"
When he turned in his copy to the
editor, however, the letters after Mr..
Colquhoun's name were "R. A. T. s"

mat the Canadian plan be adopted, by

Wheels.

The earliest mention of wheels in the
Bible is in Exodus xiv. %, when the
chariotwheels of the Egyptians were
taken off by the Lord" although
chariots are mentioned in Genesis xii.
48. But there were older nations than
the Egyptians. The Chaldeans used
chariots, and the Greeks are said to
have had chariots at the siege of Troy,
1900 B. Q. Probably in reality the
wheel is about as early a piece of ma
chinery as any now existing. or course
1t has been developed, but the bicycle
wheel of to-day is a direct descendant
of the section of log of wood used
by the agricultural peoples thousands
of years ago.

Irrigation in wisconsjn

For some years irrigation has been
carried on experimentally in Wiscon-
sin under the direction Of the state
university. Some Of these expert
ments have been conducted at Madi.
son and some at Stevens Point. Last
year drought in Wisconsin being very
severe, the results in favor of irriga
tion were very marked. In the pota-
to fields alone the yield was 100 BUSH
els of potatoes in favor of those irri-
gated. This difference does not ex-
list in most years, but irrigation is
always an insurance against loss
from drought. -Farmers Review.
