Do Not Be BIed.

Those old chestnuts, the Kemptons, who pose
as comedians, billed to appear at the opera
house the coming week. Why any person with a
grain of sense would give five cent piece to see
these barn stormers perform is mystery. The
people of Idaho Springs tired of being played
for suckers, and it is high time that the manager
of the opera house booked good company. There
is not good actor in the entire bunch. If the
residents of this city snub such plays few times
they will teach such bum actors that not
seeking their society.

Line Almost Assured.

1t begins to look as though Yankee and Alice
are to be favored with telephone connections with
this city Manager Mcdaniel who made trip
over there last week says that things are looking
very bright and that in the course of week or
two he will be able to tell whether the line will be
built and when.
These places are sorely in need of a line and it
is to be hoped that the necessary number of sign
ers will be secured at an early date. 1t would not
take long to build the line and if the inducements
are right the citizens will be able to talk to their
friends in Idaho Springs before another month
rol1s ronnd.

Bert Reed, who has ably filed the position of
Chief of the Fire Department for the last year ten
dered his resignation, which accepted H.
Clay Puderbaugh who has been acting assistant

RICOTRY IN PRICES OF STOCKS.
Brought About ty Relief From
Credit Contraction by the
Banks, Tuesday.

New York, Oct. 9.-There was de-
cided relief yesterday from the pres
sure of the credit contraction by the
banks, and the result was a sharp re-
covery in the prices Of stocks. The
demand to cover short contracts by
the bears was considerable factor,
as the recent heavy declines have
made operators on that side Of the
market bold and quite active. There
was some show Of enthusiasm in the
early buying and considerable gains
were established.
The enthusiasm, however, did not
last the day out and the bears re-
gained some confidence and ceased
their efforts to cover. Some points
OF strength persisted to the last.
notably Union Pacific, but the mar
ket generally became somewhat apa-
thetic and closing prices were gen
orally below the best. A stiffening
in the money rate late in the day TO
10 per cent and a heavy selling move
ment in Amalgamated Copper helped
to unsettle the late dealings.

New York, Oct. 9.-President John
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers
association, arrived at the Pennsy!-
vania depot in Jersey City last night,
having come on Lehigh Valley train
from Wilkesbarre, Pa. With him
were District Presidents Nichols.
Fahy and Duffy. They went immedi
ately to the Ashland house, this city.
At 10 o'clock Mr.. Mitchell called up
Wilkesbarre by telephone, the reason
being that he had expected some tele-
grams which he did not find awaiting
him. Shortly after this he turned to
the newspaper men and said:
Men Resolved to Remain Out.
Information has been conveyed to
me by phone that total of $50 local
unions have reported unanimous
votes against resuming work. The
men are not deferred from going to
work through any fear of bodily
harm, but are resolved to remain out
until the differences between them and
the operators are arbitrated, or until
B shev are ordered to return by their
leaders.
This leaves not more than 40 or
so local unions to hear from yet. The
unanimous action includes the votes
of strikers not members Of the union.
but who were present at the meetings
and voted with the union men"
At II o'clock President Mitchell
and two of the district presidents
went from the Ashland house to the
Fifth Avenue hotel. where Senators
Quay and Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
and Louis N. Hammerling, of Wilkes
barre, Pa, were registered.
Mitchell, Quay and Penrcse Confer.
President Mitchell's conference with
Senators Quay and Penrose lasted for
an hour and three-quarters. At its
conclusion Mr.. Mitchell returned to
the Ashland house. He declined to
say a word as to his talk with the
senators, and the latter left word
with the clerk at the Fifth Avenue
hotel that they would not see anyone.
instructing the clerk to refuse the
cards Of any persons who might wish
to interview them.

MILITIA IN ANTHRACITE REGION.
Whole Pennsylvania Guard Now In
Strike Section-Strikers Not
Disposed to Annoy Them.

Philadelphia, Oct. 9.-The entire
national guard of Pennsylvania was
camped last night in the anthracite
coal regions, the last regiment from
the western part of the state having
arrived late yesterday afternoon.
Contrary to expectations the troops
were we'll received and there was no
disposition on the part Of the strik-
ers to annoy the soldiers. There was
only one instance during the day of
any show of feeling. and this was
manifest at Bethlehem, when some
boys stoned the second section of the
train bearing the First regiment from
Philadelphia.
Universal quiet reigned throughout
the entire region. Brigadier General
Schall, who arrived in Tamaqua yes
terday afternoon. telegraphed to Ma
jor General Miller that there was no
disturbance of any kind in the dis
trict- The soldiers who arrived yes
terday were all scattered throughout
Schuylkill, Luzerne. Carbon and
Northumberland counties.
Where Troops Are Placed.
The first brigade is quartered as
follows:
First regiment and detail Of Bat
terry A, at Hazleton; Second regiment
and detail of Battery A, New Phil
adelphia; Third regiment, Miners
Vile; Sixth regiment and City Troop.
at Tamaqua. The latter organizations
will take care of the operations in the
Panther Greek valley.
The second brigade is quartered as
follows: Tenth regiment, Shamokin;
Fourteenth regiment, Mahanoy City;
Fifth regiment, Ashland; Eighteenth
regiment, Shenandoah.
The fact that all the locals through
out the anthracite region have voted
unanimously to continue the strike
would indicate that the presence of
the troops will have but little effect
upon forcing the men to return to
work, and from present indications
it would seem that the settlement OF
the strike is no nearer solution than
it has been for many weeks.

Consumption Is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too. but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
