Ing better to keep mischief out

success IN life is to keep busy, to-

it is better to risk these than to be

such sufferers by encoura ging them
to be up and doing; rouse them to
sense of the duties that await
them, and the welfare Of others
that depend upon them, and you
have done more to comfort them

The Country Newspaper.

No man IS too poor to take his
country newspaper, says an ex-
change, and it Is false economy to
get along without it.
Hardly week passes that some
thing does not appear in Its columns
that will be financial benefit to
the subscriber, and by the end of
the year he has made or saved from
one to twenty times its subscription
price.
The city papers do not take the
place of the country paper, although
some people seem to think they do
The city papers are all right in thei1
way, but they don't give you what
you are most interested in-youl
country news.
You cannot learn from then

Such matters city papers canno
furnish, but the country newspape
can and does. If you can affor

Nonssnslcal Voters.

The voters of the Seventh con-
gressional district, by vote of s4s
to .:eS, refused to give themselves
representation on an important
board, by voting against the pro-
posed amendment to The constltu.
tion making it possible for the
Seventh congressional district to
have member on the State Board
of Railroad Assessors, so the
Seventh district will not be repre-
sentea on the BOARD. 1t is the
duty0of this Board to assess taxes
on all railroads, steamboats,, tele.
phone and telegraph lines of the
States. The constitution fixes the
membership at one for each con-
gressional district, and as the
Seventh congressional district has
been added since the constitution
was made, the Legislature tried to
glvesthe Seventh district represen-
tation by means of an amendment
to the constitution. 1t is laughable
to think that men voted against
their own representation, against
their own right, but many Of them
did 90. It is said that ! majority
vote of the state will be found
against this just. and rightly propos-
ed amendment 10 the constitution.

AS a result Of several untoward

circumstances the isthmian canal
is still cause of anxiety. At the
last minute, and when the treaty
with Colombia was practically
ready to sign, Senor Concha
backed OUT saying he must have
further athority from his govern
ment. In the mean time the cheek
in the negotiations has caused re-
newed hope in the friends OF the
Nicaraguan route who are now
pressing their advantage and hope
to effect the negotiation Of treat
les with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, so that, even If a satisfactory
treaty with Colombia is finally
effected, they may be submitted
to the Senate simultaneously. 1t
is alleged, in this connection, that
Senators Spooner and Morgan
changed their minds, after saying
to Secretary Hay that they would
be satisfactory with a lease for 100
years with the privilege Of renew
al for a like period, and that they
now demand absolute sovereignty
as provided in the Spooner amend
ment. What is regarded as authen-
tic news of the conclusion of the
Colombia insurrectlon has reached
the State Department and it is
SAID that President MOrroquin will
now do all in his power to facill'
tate the negotiation of asssatisfac-
tory treaty. That the subject will
require further legislative enact
ment by the Senate, and possibly
by the House, is almost certain,
however.
Secretary Root tells your CORE
spondent that he will again urge
/ the establishment of a general staff
to supervise military affairs, in his
annual report. 1t will be remem,
bered that this recommendation
last year precipitated considerable
strife in the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs but the argument
used then, that the measure was
intended as a means of humiliation
to General Miles, cannot now be
advanced, for the eason that the

A call for the negroes to band themselves
against the whites was addressed to Nate

that a mob of fifty negroes would form IN
Rio, .Kemper county, twenty-five miles
northeast Of Meridian, and march to Green
Johnson's house and from there start
through the county and kill all the whites,
destroy their farms and burn their houses.
AS soon as the whites learned Of the pur-
pose of the negroes, who outnumbered the
whites two to one, they armed themselves
with rifles and in a short time had so in

President Patton Delivers Baccalau-

Christian University.

PRINCETON, N. j., June s.-The feature
or today's commencement program was the
baccalaureate sermon preached by Presi-
dent Patton. The procession Of trustees,
faculty and members OF the senior class
formed in front Of Nassau hall, and, led
by President Patton and ex-President
Grover Cleveland, marched to Alexander
hall. Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Patton were
in the audience.
Among other things. DR.. Patton said:
Sooner or later a man must be free,

best training places for this.

Speaking of the falling OF OF candidates
for the ministry among college graduates,
President Patton said:
Some people complain that so few men
are now entering the ministry and give
every reason for this but the true one. The
reason is simply this: We are living in an
age of intellectual transition and burning
unrest, and therefore l have respect for
the man who doubts, who overcomes his
doubts and gathers strength.
The annual meeting Of the PHILADELPHIA
society, the Undergraduate religious organ

MOVE TO SETTLE THE STRIKE
President summons United States
Commissioner of Labor and
Two Confer.

WASHINGTON, June s.-The president
talked with Hon. Carroll d. Wright, the
United States commissioner of labor, for
some time today regarding the situation
in the anthracite region. Mr.. Wright came
to Washington at the request of the presi-
dent to get his views on the question and
to discuss what might be done under the
law giving the commissioner Of labor the
right to investigate affairs Of this kind
and to collect information relating to them,
which may be reported to the president
or to congress.
The president stands ready at any time to
be Of any service possible to aid in effect
ing a settlement of the differences existing
between the operators and miners II this
be possible.
No statement was obtained at the White
House tonight as to the result Of the con-
ference between the president and Mr..
Wright. Later in the day the latter left
for New York, where he has several days
business demanding his attention.
Under the act creating the Department
of Labor the commissioner is Appointed TO
investigate the causes Of labor troubles
that tend to interfere with the welfare
Of the people Of the different states and
report the same to congress or to the
president. Persons familiar with the law
question it's utility. saying ample informa-
tion is already public property through
statements which have been partly printed
In the newspapers, and that no one has
authority under the law TO take any action
on the information which may be obtained.
The law Of 1898 specifically requires that
the chairman Of the Interstate Commerce
commission and the commissioner OF labor
shall use their best efforts to settle dis
puted labor matters amicably upon toe
request OF either party to a controversy,
thus making 1t a prerequisite to any action
through the government channels that the
initiative must be taken by any one OF
the interested parties.

ground, and the sum paid for it is said
to have been IS, 900. The new purchase
carries copper silver and gold. the ore
carrying higher values in gold as the vein
is sunk on.
The Willow Creek company, whose
ground is situated about a mile and a half
east of Custer City, has already made ar
rangements to begin work on the ground
and parties are now in the city for tina,
purpose. There is quite a little develop,
ment work on the property. but when the
new work shall lave been started 1t will
be on a scale large enough to open up the
vein for working and getting out ore. The
vein, which is a large one, is said to carry
high values. The company is said to have
good backing and the operations which are
about to be started have the object of plac-
ing the property on a producing basis.
HILL CITY, June S.-(Special.) 1.-THE Alb
erdeen Gold Mining company has begun
work on it's claims, which adjoin the J. R
Nine. At a depth Of thirty-lve feet the
company has struck the extension Of the
J. r. ledge and some of the ore taken
from the workings is very rich, carrying
free gold. 1t is similar to the ore in the
]. R. and Just as rich. The vein at tina,
depth, however, is not very extensive
being but a few feet in width, but 1t IL
expected that 1t will widen out as they
go deeper. The company will put in con
siderable work on its ground this sum
mer. The other companies owning ground
in the vicinity Of the camp are working
steadily, and with good results, but there
is nothing in the nature of a boom.
