riage, but we suppose the white
man is justified in this case on
the ground that "misery loves
company"
A travelling salesman by the
name of Powers, who at one
time was quite an active U. M.
w. organizer in this coal region,
is now very loud IN denunciation
of the order and cites as one rea-
son that over in Muhlenburg
county where the miners have
about surrendered soul and body
to the order, he makes on an av-
erage about ninety days per
year, or about one-third time,
while here the average of the
last year has been more than
double that number. His opinion,
based on facts in his possession,
is that in this district their in
fluence and wages are fast dis
appearing and are virtually dead.
There must be some truth in
the rumor afloat that the agitat-
ors have been informed that their
services are no longer required
if they expect pay for same,
since but few of them can now
be seen riding up and down the
railroad; the money, food and
liquor must be furnished before
the gang, led by Barnaby, will
move.
Among those who could be
seen walking to and from
Nortonville to the so-called U.
NJ. w. picnic were several from
this place who at one time were
considered first class miners and
who received nearly one hundred
dollars per month in wages for
their labor. Now they take
comfort in walking fourteen
miles to hunger and thirst.
The Reinecke mine was idle
last Friday on account of scarcity
of coal cars. Although summer
heat is here operators complain
about insufficient car supply.
Superintendent Harris of the
South Diamond mine says from
the best information and by ac-
tual count in part he thinks the
number, including women and
children, who attended the U.
M. w. picnic at Nortonville was
about three hundred and fifty.
A mammoth affair, indeed, in a
county where they boast of hav-
ing 1000 membership.
Victor Emanuel, King of Italy,
is said to be the head of a big
company who have recently pur-
chased $50, acres of coal land
in West Virginia at an expendi-
ture of $S, 100000.
The following special appeared
in the Louisville Courier-Journal
Of the 18th of June:
Sebree, KY, June 1.-THE
strike that was called here two
years ago last April by the Unit
ed Mine Workers is virtually off /.
Last week all the members
were cut off but nine. This
week these nine have been cut
off. The highest membership
here was sixty-elght, and that
was reduced to forty-five, some
having secured employment in
other States and at other places.
This will be a great hardship on
most of the members, as they
have large families and the preju-
dice is so strong against union
men here that the higher officials
will hold a conference at Norton
vile tomorrow to take final ac-
ton. 1t seems to be the con-
sensus of opinion among the
union men that this strike will
be called off for good. The cause
is that the relief that has been
sent to District % will be sent to
the anthracite region in Penn
sylvanla and other places where
it can do more good for a greater
number.

An Iowa Newspaper.

For many years one of the most valued
of the Journals western exchanges has
been the Iowa State Register, the
leading paper of the great state of
Iowa. For half Il century it has been
the most important paper of the state
and has been owned and conducted by
three generations of the famous
Clarkson family. Father Clarkson,
who died, some years ago, was sue
ceeded by his sons, James S. and r. z.
The former, who conducted it through
the seventies and eighties, was one of
the ablcst Republican editors in the
country. In later years he has been
active in national politics and is now
surveyor of the port of New York. In
recent years their sons have been at
the helm. Its Rcpublicanism has ever
been of the aggressive, uncompromising
kind and it has exerted vast influence
on Iowa politics.
change has now taken place by
with the Des Moines Leader and the
Register Leader will now be published
bv syndicate of which George f.
Roberts. an old Iowa newspaper man
and now director of the mint. is the
leading spirit. The consolidation will
give the Register greater influence
than ever and Iowa and all that sec
ton of the West will have one of the
greatest Republican papers of the
country. The remarkable thing about
the consolidation is that the Leader
was the ablest and most prominent
Democratic paper of Iowa and its alb
sorption by the Register leaves the
Democrats of Iowa without an organ
Of any influence or strength. 1t shows
the fcebleness of the Democratic party
of Iowa and the lack of faith it has in
its future.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of tho Days Dealings in al
the Leading Stocks.

New York, July 9-The selling of stocks,
today, was obviously by the speculative;
element which bought previously on the
prospect of a rise. Their immediate mo-
tive in selling is of course the desire to
take the profits that have accrued. The
belief that prices are not ready to 90
higher at present would doubtless be an
additional motive. Whether any actual
developments bearing upon values We're
considered is not Gear. But there were
one or two considerations which might
be construed against a further advance
in prices. This was no more true, today,
however, than 1t was during the advance
of Monday and Tuesday. So that the
movement bears the unmistakable stamp
of speculative realizing. The marking up
of st. Paul and New York Central, togetl-
or with some of the soft coal stocks that

Cause of the Hot Wave.

As hot waves go it hasn't been such
a torrid scorchcr, but coming after
weeks of cool weather it has made HUI
mainly steam and sizzle all over the
eastern part of the country. And the
cause of it is not far to seek for those
who have read the papers of late. 1t
is not a mere coincidence that the
coming of the hot wave is contem-
poraneous with the progress eastward
of Miss Mary MacLane of Butte Mon
tana. Miss MacLane is budding
authoress whose book of meditations,
reflections and bits of biography has
made one of the sensations of the year
She is only y and she proposes to en-
ter Radcliffe in the fall. Her book
which lays bare woman's SOUL is Il
mess of idiotic tOmmyrot, vulgar and
indecent in many places, full of yearn-
ings for devil" to love" and of
abuse of Butte which she calls a
damn. damn, damn weary and
monotonous damn place of abode The
book had the early endorsement of Pro-
fessor Triggs of Chicago, the poet
smaeher. and although the other emil
nent literary authorities have been too
busy to comment upon it, over 10000
copies have been sold and the fair
authoress has had a cigar and brand

And now she is crossing the CONT

is little tough on Radcliffe, but per
haps Mary will profit from her trip 10

gets used to her the temperature will
fall back to it's normal place unless she
feels inspired to spring another volume

The press of the country is agreed
that i'll calling upon Congressman
Littletield to prepare suggestions or
the draft of Il bill pcrfccting the pres
ent antitrust agitation, President
Roosevelt has enlisted the aid of one
of the ablest and most forceful men in
public life and one who is eminently
fitted for the task before him. He is
sound and practical, not in any sense
a theorist or rcvolutionist, n master of
constitutional law and one of the
deepest students in the country on the
subject of trusts. He has no blind
enmity to capital but realizes with
President Roosevelt that there should
be greater restrictions to the activities
of combinations of capital than the
present antitrust law provides. This
law. of which the administration is
making vigorous use, is a decade old
and does not meet all the require
ments of the day.

IF AquinaIdo Comes,

What will the "antis' do with
Aguinaldo if he comes to this country
to visit them and to escape the assas-
sination he fears at the hands of the
Filipinos whom he deceived and robbed
so long? VIII they take him the
rounds of the county fairs as side
show attraction to compete with tie
fiYe-legSed calf ard the snake charmer,
or will they put him on the lecture
platform? No doubt many people
would go in either case to see and
hear him, just as they would crowd the
tents of the five-legged calf and the
snake charmer or the lecture hall
where Carrie Nation or Mary MacLane
was to appear. Aguinaldo has been
well advertised, albeit his reputation
and accomplishments have severely
suffered in the process.
But even though Aguinaldo as an at
traction might make money for his
managers we have an idea they would
prefer a smaller bank account to the
embarrassment of his presence. He
plant of the most unmanagable pro-
portions and disposition. Since he
took the oath of allegiance to the
United States he has given frequent
and voluntary expression to sentiments
that would throw any true anti into
fit of rage. On April 20, 1901,
Aguinaldo issued an address to the
Philippine people, in which he declared
in his own language, over his own sig
nature, that "a complete termination of
hostilities and lasting peace are not
only desirable but absolutely essen
tial to the welfare of the Philippine
Islands" This cause" he added
has been joyfully embraced by the
majority of my fellow countrymen
who have already united around the
glorious banner of the United States"
No wonder the Boston 'antis" SILVER
in nervous apprehension at the idea Of
their idolized Washington OF the
Philippines" over whom they hay
drooled i'll such nauseating fashion,
speaking in this vein in Faneuil hall.
Just imagine the little Aggie, with
Atkinson, Garrison, Winslow and the
rest of their grasshopper chorus sitting
on the platform, waving the American
flag above his head and repeating the
words of his Manila address: BY ac-
knowledging and accepting the SOY
ereignty of the United States through
out the Philippine archipelago, as l do
now, and without any reservation
whatsoever, believe that am serving
thee, my beloved country; may happi-
ness be thine," Wouldn't that jar the
'antis'' even to the extent of precipi-
tating a riot? Probably some ''irI
perialist" soldiers would have to be
called out TO protect Aggie from TIL,
wrath of these who have written odeS
on him and collected money for his
cause And if he comes to this coun-
try bis press agent must not fail to
quote prominently and frequently III"
opinion of him expressed by Admiral
Dewey who knows him better than
any other American.
