MINER WORKED SEVENTEEN
YEARS FOR ONE COMPANY.
BREAKER BOY ON STAND
Twelve Year Old Lad Working for
Four Cents an Hour to Pay
Dead Fathers Debt.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. THE miners,
having finished their attack on the
Coke mines in the Hazelton region,
today turned the attention of the coal
strike commission to the collieries OF
the G. B. Markle company in the
same locality. The witnesses for the
mine workers scored what appeared
to be telling points with regard to
wages and other conditions prevail
ing in the mines of this independent
company. The attorney for the com.
pay was not prepared to cross-exam-
inc the witnesses on all the things
they testified to and the commission
has granted the company the priv
| ilege of recalling the witnesses to the
| stand for the purpose of cross-Ques-
tioning them on the statements made
today. The principal witness called
against the Markles was James Gal
| lagher, who worked in the Markle
| mines for 80 years. He asserted that
the wages were SO low that he was al
ways in debt to the company and that
in II years he only once received
money in wages and that was $50.
He further testified that he had to
deal at the company store, the only
place where the miners could get
credit, and that the prices were from
| 10 to 20 per cent higher than in other
| Mo II Lo boI
wages and wiped out his debt, but
the company would then give him
such bad work that he would imme-
diately go into debt again. He was
evfcted from his house and refused
work, but he did not know why en-
ployment was not given him.
The witness, who is about 60 years
of age and a native of ireland, kept
the court constantly in good humor
by his wit and sharp answers to
thrusts by lawyers. He said man
til he is half killed. He was half kill
ed twice, he said, which brought out
the remark from Chairman Gray that
if he was twice half killed. then he
was now dead. This caused much
merriment but it was turned into
roar Of laughter when the wit replied
that the first half was healed before
the other half was injured.
Boy on the Stand.
A 12-year-old breaker boy was call
ed to the stand and gave testimony to
show that he was working at the
Marlle mines to pay off debt in
Cured by his father, who was killed
in the mines IS months ago. He re-
ceiyed no pay, but was given due bills
showing how much his mother owed
the company. The due bills also
showed that the debt his mother was
incurring such as house rent, ETC.,
was growing faster than he could re-
duce it, as he was only getting four
cents an hour.
The conditions prevailing at the Le-
high Valley company mines will be
taken up next. The miners have
large number of witnesses whom they
desire to call and there is at this
time no indication when the hearing
will be concluded. Some of the oper-
ators desire to place witnesses on the
stand in their defense.

New Providence, Iowa, July little
Helen Moon, the 3-year-old daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. V. Moon of this place,
had narrow escape from death.
Her mother noticed she seemed to be
very clumsy and complained when she
was rocked. Her limbs and face were
blOated badly.
A doctor was summoned, but she got
no better. He said she had Kidney
Trouble in the worst form.
Two other doctors were called in and
they agreed that there was very little,
If any, hope. She was bloated all over,
her eyes being completely closed and
her abdomen bloated until it was pur-
pie.
They bought six boxes Of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and she commenced to i'm
prove at once. She had used nine boxes
before the Dropsy was all gone. The
treatment was continued and now she
Is as we'll as ever.
Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved
the little ones life.

Roosevelt Not so BIG.

President Roosevelt was a distinct
disappointment to the young son Of a
new government official.
When certain Western man moved
to Washington last month to take a
post under the administration his g.
year-old son was eager to see the Presi-
dent, so the Westerner took him to the
White House one morning and pre-
scented the lad to the President.
The boy had been impressed with
the Idea that he was to see the biggest
man in the country, and he took 1t lit
orally, SO when the President shook
hands with him the youngster seemed
to think that there was some mistake
about 1t, and asked:
Are you President Roosevelt?"
"Yes," said the President.
why. you amt so big" blurted out
the lad, with the candor of youth.
Papa said you were the biggest man
In the country"
The Presidents hearty enjoyment Of
the lads idea Of greatness, says the
New York Times, set the embarrassed
father at ease and President Roosevelt
explained to the boy that 1t was the
office and not the man that was big"

"Corn King" Phillips Thinks Cereal

Now Relatively Cheap.
Corn King" Phillips, the Chicago
plunger who has twice been wiped out
financially, insists that the farmers may
look for dollar wheat soon. While in
New York recently Phillips, in an inter-
view, said of the speculative situation:
Il believe that corn and oats are so
high, as compared to prices of a number
of years, as to make the speculative pub
lie very timid about buying, as conserva-
tive men will see the possibility of quick
and heavy losses. But wheat, to my
mind, offers splendid opportunities at this
time, not only to the Spectator but to
anyone looking for an investment.
The very fact that corn and oats are
so high makes wheat cheap at ruling
prices, but outside OF the influences Of the
