stops the Tramp Industry, and saves
the County Lot of Money
Interesting Figures.

ONLY 73 persons we've confined i'm the
county jail in Ionia during the past
six months, the smallest number for
the same period in years II not on rec
ord. Hardly semblance of the once
heavy tramp industry remains, still
there is an occasional complaint over
the effective breaking up of the grind
and the fearless work of Prosecutor
Clute in particular. But the figures
speak for themselves, brought out by
the semi-annual jail inspection made
Thursday by the Ionia county board
of Jail inspectors-Judge Of Probate
Webster, County Agent Van Ness,
and Superintendent of the Poor
Wright, Woodbury. ard Gates. A
large sum of money has been saved to
the tax payers by Mr.. Clute's action
in putting a stop to the endless-chain
tramp nuisance as carried on in the
Justice courts at the county seat for
the past ten years.
Their report shows that of the 73
prisoners confined from Feb. Ia to
Sept IL, 1902, only % were drunks
and eight vags, and the city has not
in years been so free from the ele-
ment. The itemized statement of
prisoners confined, as made by the
inspectors is as follows:

John Hessler, our old time fruit
grower and distributor, reports not
so bad a season for all of the low price
of fruits. In conversation with one
of our grocerymen few days since
he said that he had delivered 80 BUSH
els of his choice peaches to some of
his customers this fall at Sl.40 per
bushel John is thoroughly reliable
and if he comes TO an old customer
with an extra price they know they
are getting an extra grade of fruit.
The newspaper man is sometimes
inclined to look blue, simply be-
cause somebody has found fault with
something he had seen in the paper.
But after all there is no occasion for
worrying over such matters. 'Tis the
common lot of man in business. The
merchant doesn't please all of his
customers; the postmaster is kicked
and cussed for alleged mistakes; the
railroad agent is frequently given to
understand this, that and the other
thing; the butcher is forever remind
ed of his tough meat; and even the
minister finds it hard to please all the
congregation. So after all the lot of
an editor is not so hard when meas
ured up in contrast with other call
ings. About the only way to do is
to look sweet and keep right on doing
business.

GREAT COAL STRIKE
TIE-UP EFFECTS LOCAL CONDITIONS
IL May be Settled this week-Negoti-
ations In Progress Looking
To that End

1t is earnestly to be hoped that the
great strike in the coal regions will
be settled very soon, although John
Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers Union stated recently
that there was no indication of an
early settlement of it: The strike
has been on for over four months and
has cost the miners an immense sum
of money in the loss of wages and the
mine owners several millions in loss
of business. The question is often
asked what the miners are striking
for. 1t is safe to say that large per
cent of the rank and file do not know
and could not give an intelligent ans
wer TO the question, many OF them
want to go back to work but are held
in check by orders from officials of the
Union.
The demands of the coal miners as
first presented last spring for arbitra-
tion were as follows:
That the working day shall consist
of eight hours with the same wages
that are now paid for ten hours work.
That the miners shall receive an
advance of per cent on the contract
price now paid for mining coal.
That the coal mined shall be weigh
ed wherever practicable; that 2,240
pounds shall constitute a ton, and
that the men shall have representa-
tive to check the weights.
That minimum wage scale for day
laboress at the mines shall be estab-
lished similar to the scale that exists
in he bituminous fields.
That the union shall be recognized.
The following statistics will
give some idea of the cost up to the
present time:
Total number miners on strike 1927
Other workers unemployed yed------..-.--..-.Ss,0 81, 600
Women and children affected ----.- 800, 900
Total number OF coll eries involved ------ 800
Loss In wages TO the miners -sl9 OO0, ,007
Loss TO other idle employees. 100000
Loss TO business men in oal region. 100000
COSt OF maintaining cOal u iron ponce l,UuU,UV
Output OF coal stopped, tons.-.--.---- 100000
Estimated damage TO the mines s.----- 100000
1t will no doubt have considerable
effect on the local market although
it is predicted by our dealers that
when the strike 10 of and coal begins
moving the price in Belding will not
range much above former prices. +.
+. Chapple thinks about $3.50 per ton.
ID. K. Wilson has had a car load or
dered for more than three months
which has been held up by the strike.
President Roosevelt and five of the
most influential members of the Unit
ed States senate have taken steps
that they hope will bring to an inn
mediate end the long strike of miners
in the anthracite field. They held a
conference with the union officials at
a meeting at Oyster Bay this week,
which it is thought will lead to defn-
ite results.

The Second summer
By FLORENCE BRADSHAW.

She had arrived at the age when
looks young. To herself, who had thus
drawn the curtain across the first half
of an even-running existence, Amelia
Travers admitted that, so far, the
drama of life had persistently not led
UP to a climax, and it was precisely at
this stage that the monotony of expect
ed things began to jar.
Miss Travers was thirty-one when
her father died. His daughter came
to London with the dinly conscious in
tention of fighting against the prescrib-
ed narrowness of her worsted work
fate. She went to the theaters, the gal
leries and exhibitions, seeing life in a
mild kind Of way, making friends read
lily, and, for at least five years, feeling
almost happy in an independence, shar-
ed with the specialized and mentally
superior Miss Grimwood. Then there
came a period when these things pail
ed. Amelia grew whimperingly discon-
tented of the small demands life made
upon her. Her liberty, the little fiat OF
coy ease, with the yellow daffodils in
slim vases and variously framed pho
tographs-the center of her little world
these ceased to please. Her days were
filled with irritation. She became tir-
ed; her fine eyes looked Indifference on
all things. eff only I had the excite

"of carving my own way. That would
be splendid and worth doing"
They met at somebody's afternoon"
The rooms were hot and overcrowded
with potted palms and half finished
faces; there was a little music and
much talking, with intervals of tea
and mustard -and-cress sandwiches.
Amelia, whose head ached, thought
vaguely of cattle pen overfull; she
wondered listlessly why she and the
others were there. The strident voices
mixed in semi-brilliant conversation;
the love dittieS of the singing profess
s1onal, bent on self-advertisement
made her temples throb. She longed
to be away, far away from everything
and everybody. To her, seated in SUCH
