the maximum an average miner and
his laborer can load in day. There
fore the company's presentment OF
what the miner earus in ten hours is
something like this:
6 cars at $l.05 each ........... $3.50
Less laborer's wages for
cars at 40c each S2.40
Less blasting powder 10
Less repairs Il sundrs % 40
Bal, miners days pay ,.,.. *Z'9o
THE hands" have no right to COM
plain, says the company. $3.50 per
day is more than mechanics in most
trades receive. But the miner tells
a different story. He asserts that be-
cause he has to spend so much time
in building props and in working In
thin veins and because cars are not
| given to him as fast as he can dig
out the coal, he can not and does not
| load more than three cars day, sc
that $3.50 must be cut in two before
il is a true statement of what he ac'
tually receives for his days work
Sl45 for ten hours underground il
the miners version.
And the miner adds supplement-
airy chapter to his story Of his wages
He says he receives $l45 for only
about 200 days in the year. On the
remaining 1876 he is idle.
When coal "goes up" the retailer
invariably explains that there Is va
shortage of coal at the NINE" ana
that the price has risen in proportion
AS the supply has diminished. Now
the miner says that from natural
causes shortage of coal' is almost
impossible. The coal is just where 1t
has always been; the mine Is there,
and the miner. The conditions OF
supply have not been altered. The
| Company makes the shortage" to
put up the price OF coal
On reporting at the cage on morn
! ing, in the fall or winter, when the
consumption Of coal all over the
country is greatest, the miner will be
told that he is "laid OFF, for three or
four days. 1t is not at all unusual
for a colliery to shut down for IA week
without any apparent cause.

FEARLESS AND INDEPENDENT.

The Chicago Record II erald is a
conspicuous example OF the success
with which the public rewards fear
less nonpartisanship in the columns
of great metropolitan daily paper
1t is an independet newspaper, in
which men and measures are viewed
wholly from the standpoint of the
public good and not from that of the
interests of any particular political
party. 1t is the very reverse OF neu-
tral-fearless aud outspoken on all
the great questions of the day, but
presenting its editorial opinion upon
Independent judgment and entirely
regardless Of political affiliations
Partisanship is barred as strictly
from the news columns as the editor
ial page. All political news is given
without partisan coloring, thus en-
abling the readers to form corret
conclusions for themselves. In the
ordinary partisan paper political
news is ordinarily colored to such
an extent as to make it difficult. il
not impossible. for the reader to Sc
cure sound basis for intelligent iudg-
ment.

Each aspirant would be compelled

You may sean political history in
vain for u gauzier or more hypocriti-
cal platform than that adopted at
the democratic state convention.
But the gem of the whole thing is
in its tenth plank, after reciting Ills
and abuses of government calculat-
ed to plunge the state into chaos, 1T
closes summary Of things it favors
with the period, "as shall keep our
state WHERE SHE NOW STANDS
in the front rank Of progress" And
thus tire voter is let out of hor-
rible nightmare, by the assurance
that eight years of republican rule
have placed the state in the front
rank of progress. Even Devaroseism
with its dying for principle is all
id rot is forced in spite of itself
to acknowledge the virtue of repub-
lican government.-Mari Star

vote for LaFollette, and in the same
breath to express great concern for

This corroborates what the Tribune
has often said: that the element
claiming to be special guardians OF
Spooner's interests are his most dan
gerous enemies, that their purpose is
to defeat LaFollette and his policies
regardless of its effect upon spoon

defeat LaFollette and repudiate the

CONSISTENCY is not necessarily IA
part Of democracy's creed. Although
nearly all of the domocractic states
of the south have or are proposing
primary elections and although the
democractic platform Of this state
declared strongly in favor of this re-
form four years ago, the recent Mil
waukee convention deemed it expe-
dent to assume u new attitude on
this mooted problem. This was done
not because there has been change
of heart but to beguile the disafIect-
ed element in the republican party
and though there may be some al
lured thereby, this loss from the re-
publican ranks will be more than
offset by the addition of those dem
ocracts who believe in the primary
measure. Elk.

TAKEN FROM SCHOOL
Her Mother Says She Did Not Re
ceive Proper Treatment.

There has of late been considerable
trouble in the schools and not a few girls
have been kept at home by their parents
on occount of it.
One of these is Grace E. Locke, pre-
possessing miss of sixteen years. Her
mother. Mrs. Alice M. Locke, during an
interview on the subject said:
"My daughter is a good girl and I
have never had any trouble with her.
But about six months ago was obliged
to take her out of school. She had
worked hard and, since her heart had
not been good for about three years, it
had been too much for her. She grew
pale and listless, she was tired all the
time and the least exertion made her
breathe hard. The disease was an9mia
and was afraid of it, but I hardly knew
what to do, for medicine didn't seem to
be doing her any good.
"But at last we noticed an advertise
ment in the paper saying that DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills for Pale People would
cure diseases caused by impoverished
blood, and I made up my mind to have
her try them. Her trouble was deep
seated and obstinate and, at first, the
pills didn't seem to help her much. But
she kept on and in little while she
began to feel better. She continued
using them till she had taken ten boxes
and now she looks and feels like diff
ferent person. She is back in school, as
well and strong as any of the girls and /
| feel very thankful for what Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People have done for
her.
Mrs. Locke and her daughter live In
Whitman, Mass, and many of their
neighbors are willing to vouch for the
truth of the above statement. Asnearly
everybody knows, an8mia, the disease
from which Miss Locke suffered, is q
dangerous one to neglect. 1t is caused
by an actual deficiency of the blood, and
q watery and deprayed state of that
fluid.
The one remedy that has proved itself
q specific for an8mia is DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. These pills
will never fail to effect cure if used
persistently fora reasonable length OF
time. They may be bought at all drug.

of snow clad mountains, the Spanish
Peaks, a spur of the Rockies. 1t was
a bright, clear morning and the snowy
top glistened so that at times one was
forced to turn away the eyes that they
might rest At first we could see but
one peak, but as time passed and the
position of the train changed, the sec
ond came into view having at first
been in direct line from the train
with its sister peak. Along the plain
we sped until the two peaks appear
ed to be within two or three miles OF
us, when Just then the tourist conduc-
tor informed us that we were at the
nearest point to the Spanish Peaks
sixty miles away. No doubt he spoke
truth and yet it is hard to believe that
the eye can be so deceived.
Nearly all the morning these snow
clad tops were in sight. Soon the
train began to climb other mountains
| until just before noon it approached
Ration Pass tunnel where we were al
the highest altitude of the trip, trihe
over 1000 feet. Just before passing
into this short tunnel we had our last
look at the Spanish Peaks. 1t was
the best view of all, for though we
were eighty three miles away we were
now at such a high altitude that the
foot hills did not hide so much of the
peaks and they stood out with more
apparent height.
At Ration station, beyond the tunnel,
we had a warm dinner and good
one at the Harvey eating house
The Harvey system has control o.
all the eating stations on the SAINTS
Fe, and the traveller is sure of good
meal wherever they are found.
| At this point we were glad to NEE
Hon. John Cooper of st. Cloud, lat'
president of the Minnesota Stat'
| Agricultural society. One of thu
party of which Fir. G. and his wifi
were members had missed the train a
some point further west, and they hat
} stopped off here TO wait for him
They were on their way to Minnesot
} after a winter spent in southern Cali
! fornia.
This epistle wakes long and we shal
ask you to wait while we eat Dime
at Ration, promising a continuation o
the trip at later date.
Sincerely yours,
GEO. T. BARR.

Dean Pattee, of the state university

of the school and of our citizens. But an

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

The following market letter is fur
nished by Edwards, Wood & Co.,
grain commission merchants, 8 Cham
Der of Commerce, Minneapolis, $40
Board of Trade, Duluth.
April 50-One week ago today saw
the elimination of the strong upward
movement of prices of the preceding
10 days, brought about by the widely
extended drouth conditions. On
Thursday and Friday abundant rains
removed the chief bull influence and
caused sharp decline in prices. Sat
urday there was a recovery of q of a
cent which was lost on Monday.
Yesterday the market was about
steady and today it advanced a to
one cent per bushel, closing % to a
half higher at 74c and 751sc, respec-
lively for the May and July options.
The weather and crop conditions
have been the chief influences. The
drouth was not broken in either Kan.
sas or Ohio by last weeks rains and
many bad damage reports have been
coming in from Kansas Late advices
are that the drouth is now broken
there as well as in Ohio. All authori-
ties agree that damage was done prior
to the rains by the dry and hot wealth
er andshigh winds. Bradstreet says
Kansas cannot now raise over q oil
a crop at the best. Statistics are
quite bullish-the domestic visible
supply decreased 8, 792, 900 bushels and
the worlds visible supply decreased
$500, 600 bushels. Exports for last
week were 1880. 600 bushels. Casf
wheat continues at a premium owe
the May option and it is reported
hard to buy. Feed is one dollar pei
ton higher. Exports are daily almos
double the primary receipts, but We
are informed that primary receitptl
will soon begin to. increase though
there is no indication of it at present
Bromhall expects an enormous de
crease in the amount on ocean passage
during the next three months. Tn,

The governor is practically sure of
