DICKINSON LEADS.
Superintendent Nelson Commends the
Rural School Movement.

In speaking OF the rural school con
solidation movement yesterday State
Superintendent Frank Nelson said:
The four thousand dollar school
house in Dickinson county is an ex-
ample Of the superior educational ad-
vantages that the people in the rural
districts will enjoy under this plan of
school organization. The patrons OF
this consolidated school will be able
to give their children good educa-
tion right at home.
III am informed that some OF the
best teachers Of Dickinson county
will be employed in this school.
This will, OF course, give the pupils
superior instruction. In short time
the length Of the school year will be
increased, as has been done at Lor.
raine, in Ellsworth county, and the
pupils will then get more schooling
within given time than under the
old plan.
II am firmly convinced that there
Is great economy in the consolidation
of schools, both 10 time and money.
Then again, the pupils will have the
advantage Of large, we'll ventilated

ensiied, the social life will be en-
arged, good school Libraries will be
'uilt up and deeper interest created
or educational work.
"The consolidation OF schools may
'e said to bs an effort to bring the ed
Icational advantages and the best
'lessings Of the city, minus the vices

way to settle this difficulty and pro.

Good Health

and pure blood are inseparable. II
your blood Is bad, your health must suf-
fer. Poor blood allows the body to lose
vitality just as a poor fire under the
boiler allows the steam to run down.
From poor blood to impure blood Is but
a step, and impure blood is mother to a
large percentage of human ills. Dr.
Harter's Iron Tonic is an antidote for
both poor and impure blood, for II IS
both a builder and purifier a food
and a medicine. 1t Is the best combi-
nation of the kind known to medical
science, and its success for nearly half
a century has led to it's endorsement by
thousands of medical men who have
been unable to find a substitute.

Pressure On the Coal Operators

The people are beginning to
speak out in behalf of their rights
in the anthracite coal fields. That
they have some rights there is no
doubt. There is no reason why
they should suffer from lack of fuel
because the coal operators and the
coal miners fail to come to an I'M
derstanding with each other in re-
gard to wages.
They. do not undertake to say
that the strikers shall be settled
with on their own terms. They do
not say that the coal operators are
in the wrong or that the strikers
are in the wrong. They simply
say that it is the duty of the coal
operators to give them coal. And
thus far they have raised no ques-
ton about the price, though they
would if they believed the price
was unreasonable.
Parties in Boston have filed bill
in the supreme court of Massachu-
sets asking that receiver be APP
pointed for the coal roads-a re-
ceiver that will operate the mines.
The people of Meriden, Conn, at a
mass meeting, have passed resolu-
tions asking the governor of Penn
sylvania TO inaugurate proceedings
looking to placing the coal roads in
the hands of a receiver, so that the
coal mines will be operated and
the public will be able to get coal,
Evidently, says the Savannah
News, crisis is approaching in the
battle between the coal operators
and the strikers. The public is
taking a hand in it, and there will
have to be an adjustment of the
differences between the coal Oper-
ators and the strikers. The public
does not intend to be the victim of
the stubbOrnness of the opposing
parties to the quarrel in the coal
fields any longer, if it can help it.
There must be a settlement, or one
party or the other must give way.
With the public demanding coal
the strikers seem to have the best
of the battle If they can hold out
a few weeks lOnger-until freezing
weather comes-the coal operators
will have to yield or there will be
riots in the cities in which anthra-
cite coal is the chief fuel.
The coal operators have been pre-
tending that they could operate the
mines if given protection, but it is
evident they cannot. They can
not get the necessary number of
miners. The governor of Pennsyl-
vania has been and still is giving
them all of the protection he can,
but they have made but little pro-
gress in getting coal out of the
mines. 1t looks now as if they
would have to make concessions.
