there was money in the show business,
and started Out to demonstrate to the
world our great abilities as entertain
ers- We We're all three employed on
the Denver Republican, but we decided
that newspaper life was too mOnOton-
ous' interested a partner who sold
morse 10 get money enough to put US
on the road, and started for Colorado
springs, where we were to play our
first engagement.
Field and I were to read humorous
selections Of our own composition, and
Rothaker was to give some Of Tenny-
son S poems, that there might be a
variety in the entertainment. Our sue
cess IN Colorado Springs was remark
able. We had AT people in the audi
ence, and everything went off smooth
". All of our stunts were very polite
and II was necessary for each Of US
TO wear dress coat. We had only
one dress coat, and, consequently, it
was impossible for us 70 do any read
ing in concert. Asfsoon as a performer
dashed off the stage he skinned of that
STOCK coat, and the man who was TO do
the next number slipped into it. Tn
fortunately, all Of US were not Of the
same size. Field and I were larger
than ROthaker and the coat was as
much too small for US as il was too
large for Rothaker
We liked Colorado Springs so well
that we came pretty near not getting
10 Pueblo. our next stop. Our first sue
cess wasn't repeated in Pueblo. Seven
teen people came out to hear US. and
It was the most exciting audience I
ever saw. II was FAITHFULLY candid, and
had no hesitation about expressing its
opinion in plain, unvarnished Colorado
English.
Field has just begun his Primer at
that time. When. nothing but jeers
greeted our other numbers. Field de-
cided that he would try some of the
. Primer on the audience. He stepped
on the stage with great assurance. at
the conclusion of a reading by Roth
aker which brought out more .catcaIls
than L ever imagined seventeen men
could make. After asking for order
Field began to read from the Primer
It wasn't Field, crowd. and the
Primer was received much after the
fashion one Of Efie Cherry's compost
tons is received today.
We'll, we left Pueblo pretty badly
discouraged. Our next stop was 10 be
IN New Mexico. BY pawning Fields
coat and ROthsker's umbrella we
raised money enough to buy tickets
most OF the way. and we walked the
remainder Of the distance. Another
Pueblo reception greeted US. and we
found ourselves stranded We had
nothing to pawn but the dress coat.
and there wasn't much demand for full
evening clothes in New Mexico at that
time. An old man who had a room At
the hotel adjoining mine committed
suicide during the night. When the
coroner came TO hold an inquest We
three were the first applicants for
places on the jury. and the fee we re-
ceiyed enabled US to get back into Col
Orado."

Wilkesbarre when there came the report
of another "riot and murder at a colliery
about a dozen miles from that city. The
affair was played up in the local papers as
another disturbance due to the miners,
and was telegraphed all over the country
in that form. He took a trolley car and
went to the place. What he found was
this: union miner had been standing
in the doorway Of his own house. with his
wife and little daughter, when special
deputy Of the mines, known as coal and
iron policemen" came by under the in
fluence Of liquor. The coal and iron po-
liceman saw the miner standing In the
doorway, and exclaimed: There's the
-" and drawing his revolver. shot the
man down where he stood. There was
not even a dispute; not an argument or
exchange of words. 1t was a plain cold
blooded murder by a drunken deputy.
But 1t was heralded to the world as IAN
other riot" an attack by a union miner
and. no doubt, figured as one Of the twen-
ty casualties Of which the presidents COM
planned to Roosevelt. ..E
The fact is, and history will concede it,
that there has not been a strike in the
history of the United States in which,
considering the number Of men and all
the conditions of the case, there has been
so little lawlessness or disorder Of any
sort. The leaders know their success lies
In a peaceful abstinence from work, and
the lack Of disorder is the thing which has
troubled the operators most.

THE BROKEN STONE ROAD
It Is Considered by the National So
ciety Of Municipal I'm
provements.

New York, Oct. 1O.-Before the meeting
of the American Society of Municipal I'm
provements, Emmett J. Steece, city en-
gineer, Burlington, Iowa, spoke in part as
follows: ---% -
THE broken stone. road is a product of
common sense, and is divided into two
classes, small broken stone throughout;
and large stone base with finer stone sur
face.
ION steep grades the effect of surface
water Is as damaging as the wear from
vehicular traffic. If traffic of 300
vehicles a day is confined to a narrow
space, for instance, eight feet on either
side Of a street railway, 4-inch top is
completely cut through in about three
years.. and where the Travelled space is
about sixteen feet, the wheels cut
through the top in about ten years.
THE cost to the contractor of ma
cadam road without excavation, metal
49, thick, Is from 40 to 80 cents per
square yard, distance on emile from quar-
ry.
1.-THE cost of Telford pavement does not
differ materially from that Of macadam,
the larger stone" being set on edge at
about the same price as breaking and
spreading. A 17Aton steam roller will
consolidate from twenty-five to thirty
cubic yards per day of ten hours
Though the work done in the cities in
the last two years shows a slight reduc-
ton in the extent of brick pavement con-
struction, yet that class of material can
be called more strictly modern

PEAT BEDS IN WIS.
A Whitewater Genius Asserts He
Has a Practical Substitute for
Anthracite Coal.
New Fuel Will Throw Off Neither
Smoke, Dirt Nor Gases and
Makes Hot Fire.
Special to The ournal.

Special to The ournal.
Milwaukee, Oct. 10.-The coal strike has
attracted a great deal of attention to the
peat boys in Wisconsin, and develops the
fact that for a year, or two genius at
Whitewater has been experimenting with
a process which is said to be about per-
fected for the production Of an article of
commerce In the shape of peat. that will
eventually take the place Of anthracite
coal. He is said to be able, with ma
chinery he has invented. to produce 20. 900
tons of peat day in compact form, to
take the place of egg and the larger sizes
of coal used in stoves and furnaces, and
that the new product has the advantage of
coal for the reason that it produces neither
smoke, dirt, nor gases, and that stove
or furnace filed with it will make red
hot fire twice as long as coal.
There are several hundred millions Of
tons Of peat in Wisconsin, IN Walworth,
Fond du Lac, Douglas, and other counties.
The Whitewater plant is said to be about
ready to go into the active business Of
supplying prepared peat, and several bust
ness men Of this city have interested
themselves in the project of supplying
customers providing the strike continues,
and they may do so any way
Twenty years ago w. II. Newton dis
covered the peat beds near Superior and
conceived the idea of using the supply
for fuel. About the same time he in
vented hydraulic dredge and it was his
idea to cut small canal in the beds large
enough to float a dredge and to throw the
peat into bins and allow it to. dry. After
drying it was to be cut into pieces of the
proper length. Newton was accidentally
killed before his scheme could be. tried.
1t is now proposed by several Superior
capitalists to develop the plan, owing to
the scarcity Of fuel -
The Whitewater man, however, has
clearly outstripped everyone else, it Is
said, in the matter Of preparing peat for
home use, and his system will undoubted-
ly be in practical use in short time.

RoUsING MEETING AT FERGUS
Addresses by the Governor, Ray w. Jones
and Eugene G. Hay.


and Eugene G. Hay.
Special to The Journal.
Fergus Falls, Mimi, Oct. lO.-Governor
Van SAINT and Ray W.. Jones are breaking
campaign records in this section, being
engaged, in what the governor terms
strenuous campaigning" Their recep-
ton here was all that could be desired.
They were met on the outskirts Of the
city by the band: and escorted to their
hotel, and two hours later a long torch
light procession was formed ITO lead the
way to. the Lyceum theater where the
meeting was held. Eugene G. Hay had
come up from the cities, and the three
appeared on the stage together and were
given a rousing welcome. -
Mr.. Jones spoke very briefly. stating
that the question Of the campaign was
whether a corporation created in New
Jersey was to be allowed to come into
this state and exercise rights not granted
by the laws Of Minnesota.
p. Governor Van SAINT was in excellent
spirits, Notwithstanding his long trip, and
after urging the voters to- support the
various candidates on the republican
ticket, he plunged2 into discussion of
the merger question, stating that the issue
was whether the great corpora tons should
be. the servants or the masters of the
people The fight, was not particularly
his fight. that he had simply done his
sworn duty in endeavoring to enforce the
laws as he found them and that the re-
,sponsibility now rested with the people.
He Believed that the. searchlight OF the
nation was on Minnesota to-day. and
urged the voters to do their duty.
= Speaking along general lines, he stated
that he was proud9Cd being member of
THE party that had brought about the
prosperity, that the nation was enjoying,
and pointed to the Es2,600,00O,Ooo in the
savings banks, the, balance rof trade and
the commercial conquest Of the globe. He
did not know Gjusts where the democrats
were going to. ~secureu their issues this
year, as the free silver movement $was
dead, the bugabooS of impsria lism had
vanished and while Shf belieWeds that the
tariff needed some revtsioni he. did not
think the people wanted TO- -entrust. the
work to- thee1emecTats.sss4z s7 ~,:,sess~ses
Mr.. Hay made a forcible and able adj
dress. He too, believed in a conservative
revision. of the tariff, and thought the
trust, question couldbe solved without the
slow process Of adopting a constitutional
amendment. His plea is to have congress
appoint commission which shall have
supervision of all corporations doing ar
interstate commerce, business.

A NEW TEXT.
Southern Preacher Gives Food for Thought

Coffee works in many different and un.
suspected ways. Mr.. E. L. Wesson, pas
tor of Baptist church Of Sardis, Miss,
writes:-
= IT loved coffee from my infancy, and
never knew Of it hurting me until I was
t33 years old. 1 suffered with headaches
If forced to do without it, and sometimes
used it three times a day, but headache
had been one Of the ills of our family and
therefore I thought it was an inherited
evil for which coffee was special rem
edy, but about nine years ago, I began
to suffer from sleeplessness which con-
tinued until it seemed as If my nerves
would wreck for want of sleep, and yet l
could not sleep
friend suggested that quit coffee
except for breakfast which I did, and so
found that could sleep a little better,
but my headaches continued, and my
nervous system would sometimes seem as
If the very fibres Of my flesh were NOV
ing within me. 1t went on until three
years ago I began to suffer at night with
an itching sensation on my limbs below
my knees and on my arms below the
elbows, and sometimes all over my body,
but there was no eruption on the skin;
the flesh was smooth and white. I con-
suited several good physicians but with
no avail.
I had no idea that the coffee I drank
In the morning caused it, but finally de-
cided to stop coffee for a while, and try
Postum Food Coffee. Wife made it ac-
cording to directions, so that I liked it
equally as we'll as coffee. I had no idea
that it would relieve the awful itching
deep down in my flesh. but thought
would try it to see If there was any vir-
tue in 1t. I had used it only few days.
when 1 discovered that the itching was
g not so severe. When I had used it ten
days, my wife said, What is the matter
with you? You do not seem to be
troubled with that itching sensation. I
told her that I did not know what was
the cause, but I knew that I was not
troubled with the itching any more and
was thankful for it.
then went over to preach in another
town, and while there drank some strong
coffee and the itching returned. When
came back home. I commenced using
Postum again. and the itching ceased.
Then 7 decided that coffee in some way
p-, duced the ilcEing. I drink Postum
zee times Il day, and rest as well as I
ever rested, and never have, headaches
any more. I believe that hundreds Of
preachers who suffer from indigestion,
nervousness and worry, would find rest
and health if they would quit coffee and
use Postum"
