Will they ever settle the coal strike? Coal is quoted to-day at $10.50 per ton and goodness knows that's too high 9 price for any commodity which we in tend sending up ill smoke or gas. But thanks be to goodness we are selling aI article (Coaline) which if used properly will cut your coal bill in two, therefore instead of $10.50 coal will only cost you S5.25 per ton or in other words Coaline will make one ton of coal last as long as two tons. or course Coaline is not antediluyian, but on the contrary 1t is new on the mar ket, but it is certainly a wonder. We have circulars at our store all about Coaline and up to date we find it does everything which it is represented to do; it costs only 10 cents for small and SO cents for large package. Remember, our say so in the newspaper is our do so Tn the store, therefore, when we say butter has gone up in price it's true, put no fault of ours. To-day we sell butter that is butter (and we never sell anything else insteaO for 26 cents per pound, and we claim you can't get better no matter what price you pay; If you doubt us, try a pound

other Train Standing on
switch.

Staples, Mimi, June 21.-A head-end
collision occurred at Lower Lake sid
ing, two miles west Of here, on the
Northern Pacific yesterday morning
between No. 7 passenger weestbound
and No. passenger eastbound. En-
gineer Scott, Of No. Z, took the sid
ing, expecting No. 8, which had the
right Of way, to pass. The latter,
believing everything clear, came
along at high rate of speed. The
switch, however, had in some way,
not yet explained, been turned and
No. s dashed into the waiting train.
All the passengers escaped injury ex-
cept Harry Zeigler, of Hammond,
Ind, in the smoker Of No. 8, which
was telescoped. He received serious
internal injuries and was taken to the
hospital at Brainard. Conductor No.
Bile and Fireman Rasmussen, of No.
s, and Engineer Scott, and an un-
known tramp of No. were killed.
Besides these, w. Fl. Montgomery,
fireman of No. 7, and Express Mes
sengers Gibson and Patrick were
badly injured. The wreck caught
fire and the passengers formed a
bucket brigade and kept the flames
under control for time, but the
work was given up and four coaches
and three or four mail, express and
baggage cars were burned.

SILK Mills Closed Down.

New York, June 20.-All but three
Of the silk mills in Hudson county
n. j., have closed down. About TO-,
900 hands are in consequence out Of
employment and within the next "a
hours the number will likely reach
$4,000. The immediate cause Of the
shutting down Of the mills was the
dyers' strike riot at Paterson. The
majority of the proprietors Of the
silk manufacturing establishments
in Hudson, fearing an outbreak Of
similar trouble here, decided, as the
result of conference, to close down
indefinitely.
The expected trouble came late
yesterday afternoon when mob of
500 men and women gathered at ST.
mons mill in Union hill. Postmas.
ter Armbruster knocked senseless
with his fist one man of the mob,
and Immediately stones began to fly.
Three of the police were slightly
hurt. The rioters made rush but
Capt. Knight and his men laid IA OF
them low with their clubs. Then the
fire department was called out and
dispersed the mob with streams
from the hose.

~ DANGER OF LYNCHING,
for Aid to Protect Prisoner
from Mob.

indianapolis, Ind, June 19.-The
sheriff has wired Gov. Durbin from
Vincennes asking for troops to pro-
tect William Edison from mob
which now surrounds the Jail at that
place. Edison is in custody on a
charge Of attacking three-year-old
Irma Pfohl June /. For several days
there has been talk of lynching. The
governor has replied to the request
for militia by ordering the sheriff
to swear in deputies-1,oOo II nsces-
sary, and to protect the prisoner at
all hazards. The mob that surrounds
the Jail numbers 600 or 700 and seems
to lack leadey.

Paterson, N. j., June 2l.-Mayor
Hinchcliffe seems to be in complete
control of the situation here, backed
as he is by the entire peace con-
trolling force Of the city and county
and q goodly portion Of the state
militia. The soldiers presence has
had deterrent effect upon the
'reds" and they are not in evidence
in the city. The troops remained
on duty all last night and were re-
lieved by the deputies this morning.
No troops will do duty in the day
time unless there should be serious
trouble.
An organization has been COM
pleted, composed Of 50 wealthy bust
ness men of this city, to be known
to the public as the Paterson vigil
ance committee, but the member
ship and proceedings are not to be
made public. Private detectives
have already been engaged to shadow
the leading anarchists. The "reds"
are to be induced to leave Paterson
quietly II possible. If they do not go
the committee is said to have its own
plan and action. One of the methods
to be employed is said to be the
keeping Of black list, and no mat
ter where in Paterson man on it
obtains work his employer will be
notified to dismiss him. II this plan
be carried out it will starve out of
the city all anarchists who may come
here. It is said the committee has
$25O,OOO pledged by the men compos-
ing 1t to carry out its purposes.
A mass meeting of the striking
dyers' helpers was held in the town
hall yesterday at which seven police
men were in attendance. It was
conducted in quiet and orderly
manner The only speaker was Presi-
dent McGrath, of the dyers' helpers
union, who expressed his deep regret
at the riotous demonstration on
Wednesday and said that such ac-
tons could only harm the cause of
the workmen.

Few people can understand the feel.
3ngs Of the pugilist as he is being counted
out. He hears the seconds licked off.
He struggles to rise, but struggles in
vain. He has lost the fight.
There are some who are making a
losing fight for life that can appreciate
this; those whose lungs are diseased.
With every tick Of the watch, they know
that they are being counted out.
The great question is how can quick
rally be made to continue the fight
against diseasel Many who have asked
that question have found a satisfactory
answer in the use Of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It cures bronchitis,
obstinate, deep-seated coughs, hernor-
rhage, night sweats, emaciation, and
other conditions which if neglected or
unskilfully treated may find a fatal
termination in consumption.

Eldorado, Kan, June 21.-The first
evidence in the Morrison trial was in
PRODUCED yesterday afternoon. The
most important was the evidence Of
Mrs. Spangler, the nearest neighbor
to the Castle home. She was on the
stand three hours and gave much
new testimony. She said she saw
Jessie Morrison try to cut her own
throat, heard her say "This is my
razor, l bought 1t and paid for it
and am going to take it." Never re-

Paterson, N. j., June 2O.-A dele.
CATION representing the mill owners
called on the mayor last night and
demanded protection. The mayor
replied that the police force was too
small and would be overridden by
any mob of any size; that it was i'm
possible to concentrate any great
number of men vt any point and that
a large portion Of the deputy sheriffs
were green hands and unreliable. 1t
was pointed out that the mill hands
were afraid to work and were in
momentary fear of attack. This re-
suited in an appeal to the governor,
who was in Newark, for troops, and
he ordered some to this city and they
were put on guard duty at the mills
this morning.
In the main yesterday was a quiet
day in this city. The most impor-
tant event was the suspension from
duty of Chief of Police Fred C. Craul
by Mayor Hinchcliffe and the assump-
ton by the mayor the duties of
that position. William Mcqueen, the
Englishman who was prominent at
Wednesdays meeting before the riot
Ing began, has left the city. Gal
leano, the Italian, and Crossman, the
German, who are said to have been
prominent Wednesday, have also
kept from public notice.
The police are under orders to
shoot straight II they should have
another encounter with the rioters
and the mayor has had copies Of the

THE COAL MINERS STRIKE.


Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 21.-Yester-
day was one Of the quietest days
around strike headquarters since the
anthracite mine workers suspended
operations, six weeks ago. Reports
from the entire region were to the
effect that all the mining towns were
very quiet and that the 100000 idle
men are keeping away from the
collieries.
The furry occasioned by the call
for a special national convention at
indianapolis has entirely subsidized.
No information on what the probable
action of the convention will be
could be had here yesterday. News
from the west is eagerly awaited by
the great body of strikers.
The Supply of Coal
indianapolis, Ind, June 21.-It Is
estimated by Mr.. W. B. Wilson, Sec
rotary and treasurer of the United
Mine Workers Of America, that the
present supply of bituminous and
anthracite coal above ground would
be exhausted in less than three
months if there should be general
suspension of work in the mines.
According to this estimate, if the
national convention Of mine workers
in Indianapolis July II should vote
for a general suspension of work
in support of the anthracite strike,
as is now proposed, the vast indus
trial machinery of the United States
would be handicapped for fuel, so
that thousands of factories would
have to suspend work.
