GLOW about the situation in the
New River DISTRICT
THE trouble which has occurred
in that section has been caused by
the eviction of about two hundred
miners families from their homes,
and the bringing into the country
OF new men to take the places of the
old men.
Between the soldiers and the
strikers the best OF good feeling ex-
lists, and there has been no difficulty
whatever between them. The miners
do not object to the troops being
there, but instead seem to be rather
glad of it, and are on the best of
terms with the guardmen. About
sixtenths of the soldiers are working
men, and members OF organized la
Dor unions, which accounts to a
great extent for the peaeeable rela-
tions existing between the two bod.
les.
THE miners are benefited by the
troops being on the ground, because
in many cases the rations of the sol
diers have been divided with un-
fortunate miners and their families.
There are but three companies left,
and they are guarding all that dis
trict from Hanley to Hinton.

Big Return 8 on Investments.

No portion of town offers such ex
ceptional advantages as the addition
owned by J. L. Smith at the south
end of the First Ward. The lots
face beautiful view, they are well
located, have every modern conven
fence in the way of water, gas and
sewerage. The trolley line runs
through the addition. The Wire
Glass factory and Pump Station ad-
join it. Residences to accommodate
the employees of these plants are in
great demand. The lots are sold on
easy terms making it possible for
avery one to purchase one or more
of them. No addition in town will
prove more profitable to investors.
Be sure to call before buying real

TARIFF The ISSUE.
Withdrawal ofSpeaker Hender-
son Forces it to the Front.
Action Great surprise to President
Roosevelt and his Advisers Cabi-
nent Member says that 1t Means
Democratic Victory in November.

-
Speaker Henderson has thrown a
bomb shell into the ranks OF the re-
publican party and has made the
tariff the main Question for discus
sion during the fall elections He
declines to be candidate for re-elec-
tion as many of his constituents are
opposed to his views on the subject
and he cannot consent to take
chances of election in this event.
Just as his decision was announ-
ced a conference was in session with
Roosevelt. The conference had de-
cided that the tariff would not be a
question but that prosperity and
high wages should be the slogan of
the republicans this fall.
1t has caused sudden changing
of front and the tariff will be re
hashed this fall with great fury.
Many people believe that the pres
ent tariff bill fosters trusts and that
its working have caused great bur.
to be placed on the consumer. Ger
tain it is that articles manufactured
by the companies which are protect
ed are being sold abroad at lower
rates than they are sold at home and
the rates to domestic consumers are
lar beyond what they would be if
the tariff wall was lowered.
Much discomfort over the present
tariff rates has arisen in the repub-
liean party and in some OF the states
particularly in the west there has
been loud and insistent demand
that the schedules be revised to
strike blow at the trusts.
Speaker Henderson does not want
any change made. His district de-
mands that they be made. Hence
he has declined to run.
Much is being said on the sub
ject by the party press and there
will be lively scrfmmages over the
tariff question before the next Con-
gress is selected.
One member of the cabinet is
quoted in the Record Herald of Chi
cago, republican paper, to the eff
feet that the action of the Speaker
will lead to a democratic tidal wave
and will give contro. of the lower
house to that party. Its members
are very much pleased at the evil
dent and wide spread discontinue
OF their opponents.

Soldier Boys Are Loathe to Leave

The last of the soldier boys left
Monday afternoon at 5:55 over the
Rock Island and all of them declared
that they had an elegant" time dur

crowds at the depot at every train to
see the boys off and the din and con-
fusion was something awful. This
was especially true of the 2:55 train
over the Iowa Central when the Abba,
Charlton and Centerville Companies
left the city. They celebrated with
songs and whoops and several shot
off their muskets to add to the noise.

WAS ENTITLED TO A SEAT.
Youthful Newspaper Vender Asserts
His Right and Fools a Pussy
Passenger.

The other day on an elevated train
in New York small boy stood before
huge pile of newspapers that occu-
pied one of the seats. He was sorting
them and dropping package upon
each station as it was reached for the
news stand located there. The car
was crowded and seats at premium.
A fussy old man watched the boy for
a time. Then he touched him on the
shoulder and said in loud and AFRO
CANT manner "See here, my son,
what right have you to keep those pa
pers on that seat when passengers are
compelled to stand up?"
The boy looked up and politely said:
do you object to my having those
papers on the seat?"
II certainly do" said the man. I
have paid my fare and have right to
sit down"
The boy carefully removed his pile
of papers from the seat to the, floor a
small bundle at time. The protest
ing passenger stood in anexpectantat-

absorbed attention.
When the seat was empty the boy

WATER AS MOTIVE POWER.
1t Is Believed In New York That Nj
agarn Falls May Yet Turn
Their Wheels.

Interest in the subject of return
to water power as primary agent in
supplying motor energy is stimulated
by the news that Baltimore's trolley
system is to be run by the Susquehan-
ma river force. The methods to be
applied are those of the Niagara plan,
by which the great cataract evolves
electric power for mills, traction lines
and street and house illumination all
through its corner of New York state.
1t is the idea in Baltimore that the
Susquehanna energy may yet run the
cars and light the streets and build
ings in number of Maryland towns,
says the New York World. So in the
Empire state there is the dream, per-
haps to be realized yet, that the ,tre-
mendous Niagara power now going to
waste will become of avail even in
Manhattan. To the dawning Of such
an approach to smokeless age we
might give hearty welcome in the pres
ent days Of soft coal menace.

10 AS A HOUSE SERVANT.
Indian Boys and Girls Have of Late
Been Taking to Homework
in the West.

Indian schools all over the south
west have recently adjourned for the
summer, and the students are being
employed very rapidly by those who
keep servants. The Indian boys make
excellent cooks, while an Indian girl,
once trained, is fine maid of all work,
a modish hairdresser and endowed
with an Unborn taste which becomes
picturesque when combined with a
few civilizd touches. The system of
training now bestowed upon the red
children at school teaches them to be-
come seryile to their superior-the
paleface, and the present generation
in training have become so accus-
toned to serving their paleface teach
ers that they are more than willing
to enter the household as servants.
Herein may lie the solution of the
servant-girl question-for time, at
least, says western exchange.
Indian youths are strong, agile, and
If brought up by the right kind of
methods, are perfectly willing to work.
They are healthy and quick of limb.
This makes an excellent combination
for servant. Statistics of the Indian
taken recently show that of the $4,000
workers among the various tribes,
5000 of them are employed as helpers
in the houses of palefaces. You never
see the Indian servant at his or her
best until you visit the home of an old
Indian agent on one Of the reserva-
tions.
