THE MINERS STRIKE.
The Eleventh Week Finds No
Change In the Situation.
The STRIKERS As FIRM As EVER.


Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 2S.-The be-
ginning of the eleventh week of the
anthracite miners strike finds ap-
parently no change in the situation,
although the rumor has been re-
vived that an effort will be made
some day this week upon the part
Of one Of the large companies to
start up one Of their collieries. The
companies have q sufficient number
of coal and iron policemen enlisted
now to prevent trouble, should it
arise, and all that would be neces-
sary to get mine in operation would
be sufficient number of miners and
laborers to blast the coal and load
it on the cars. No doubt plenty Of
ordinary laborers could be secured,
but 1t is question whether the re-
quisite number of miners could be
persuaded to 60 into the workings.
At strike headquarters the belief is
as strong as ever that the operators
cannot resume and that it is idle
talk to even suggest such thing.
President Mitchell implicitly says
that the situation Is about the same
and that the strikers are as firm as
ever.
A great deal of telegraphing passed
yesterday between Wilkesbarre, In
dianapolis and the headquarters Of
the United Mine Workers in West Vir-
ginia, the nature Of which Mr.. Mitch
ell would not make public. Three
hundred delegates, representing the
10000 Polish and Lithuanian resi-
dents Of the Wyoming valley, met in
convention here yesterday and, after
indorsing the strike, appointed q
committee of ten to visit New York,
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Buffalo and
other large cities and solicit aid from
the Polish and Lithuanian people for
their countrymen now on strike in
the anthracite region.
Want to Impeach Judge jackson.
Indianapolis, Ind, July 2S.-At the
headquarters Of the United Mine
Workers information was given out
to the effect that the national Off
GERS are preparing evidence with
the expectation of making an effort
to secure the impeachment of Fed
eral Judge Jackson, whose decision
in the case Of Mother" Jones and
other organizers has been the most
matter before the miners
organization since the indianapolis
extraordinary convention was ad-
journed. An effort will be made to
secure his impeachment on the fol-
lowing grounds: That the federal
official used his judicial position to
protect his private interests as
stakeholder in mine; that he "bul-
led the defendants in open court
before the trial was held; that he
advised them to leave the state and
thus escape Imprisonment before
even witness had been heard; that
he violated all rules of equity; that
he used private inquiry system"
instead of basing his decision on
sworn evidence presented before him
in open court. The miners organiza-
ton, according to the officials at the
national headquarters, intends hav-
ing the matter taken up in congress,
the motion to impeach being made
first by a member of the house.

ALLURING COFFEE. Nearly Killed the Nurse.

When one of the family Is sick Mother seems to be the only person who can nurse the patient back to health. But we forget sometimes that 1t is pretty hard on Mother.
 Mrs. Propst of Albany. Ore, says: About twenty-seven months ago, Father suffered with a stroke of paralysis, con- fining him to his bed for months, and as he wished Mother with him constantly, his care in a great measure fell to her lot. She was "A years old, and through constant attendance upon my father, lost both sleep and rest. and began drinking coffee in quantities until finally she became very weak. nervous and Ill herself.
 By her physician's order she began giving Father both Postum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts, and in that way began using both herself. The effect was very noticeable. Father improved rapidly and Mother regained her strength and health, and now both are well and strong. Mother says 1t is all due to the continued use of both Postum and Grape-Nuts."
