In the Wrong Pew. -

The Pioneer Press of Tuesday says:
EssDr. J. A. Dubois affidavit of his
candidacy for the Democratic nomi-
nation for congressman from the
Sixth district reached the office of the
secretary of state. The affidavit is
dated June 26, and it was forwarded to
the secretary Of state by Lieutenant
Governor Lyndon A, Smith OF Monte
vedio, to whom it was sent, although
the law provides that such declara-
tions shall be filed with the secretary
of state.
THE sending of these papers to me
illustrates, think, the familiarity OF
Democrats with public affairs, - is the
comment made by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Smith in his letter OF trans-
mis5al.
DR.. Dubois is an ardent advocate
of free silver, and that wing OF the
Democratic party has succeeded in
brushing other candidates aside. SO
thai their man will have q clear field
for he nomination. as.sB

CIVIC FEDERATION CONTINUING
EFFORT TO SETTLE ANTHRA-

INVESTIGATION PROCEEDING

Representative of Federation, Assisted
by a Statistician of the Labor De-
partment, Making Study of condi-
tons in the Strike Region as Re-
CARDS Expense of Mining, Price of
Coal and Cost of Necessities of Life.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 9.-The Asso-
ciated Press is able to announce that
the National Civic Federation which
tried so hard to prevent the anthracite
coal miners strike has not exhausted
all it's means in an effort to bring
peace in the anthracite coal fields
The investigation which was started
soon after the miners laid down their
picks is still in progress and it is I'm
derstood that the federal government,
through the department of labor, is
Assisting in this work.
A few weeks ago Walter E. Weyl, a
representative of the department of
labor at Washington, and Professor
John R. Commons of the Civic Fedora
ton made tour of the anthracite coal
regions in quest of information. They
paid particular attention to the ques-
tions of the cost of labor for mining
coal, the selling price of coal and also
as to whether the increase of wages
OF the mine workers has kept pace
with the increased price of the neces-
stiles of life. These men interviewed
all persons who are familiar with con-
ditions in the coal region. Their, work
was done quietly. While in Wilkes.
barre Professor Commons had a long
conference with President Mitchell,
during which he was shown a copy of
Mr.. Mitchell's statement replying to
the letter of the coal operators.
Mr.. Weyl, who is statistician in the
department of labor, contributed to
the report made by Commissioner Car
roll D. Wright to President Roosevelt.
The plan then formulated cannot be
learned here. The seal of secrecy has
been placed on everyone who has any
knowledge of the work that is going

Chicago, July 9.-The freight hand

board of arbitration, when asked if he
had received an answer from the rail-

connection with the statement Of Of

have said that the freight handlers pro.

AS the advancing season shuts
little children more or less indoors
a hammock in the nursery will be
very helpful for the mother or
nurse. It may be adjusted from
the window sill across a corner of
the room to strong hook in the
wall. Knit with two large wooden
needles, using macrame or other
strong cord Of one or two colors.
Cast on twenty-five stitches and
knit plain or with any preferred
fancy stitch a strip five feet in
length. Knit four such strips and
join with an overland stitch. Now
fasten the ends to wooden horns,
which can easily be fashioned. Knot
a fringe of the cord on the edges
and across the bows. For a baby's
hammock cast on fifteen stitches
and knit the strips not more. than a
yard long.-Country Gentleman.

To Make Jelly Right.

Whatever fruit is used, cook un-
I'll soft; then let it drip from a sus-
pended sack made from thin but
strong material. Never squeeze it
with the hands. Give it time, and
the juice will drip through into the
receiving vessel, which should be an
earthen bowl. Put the juice into a
porcelain kettle and over a brisk
fire; boil twenty minutes. At the
same time place on an earthen plat
ter the quantity Of sugar you will
be likely to use; set it in the oven
and heat through thoroughly, being
careful that it does not scorch or
discolor. When the juice has boiled
briskly twenty minutes from the
top of the stove, remove and meas
ure it and allow as many pints or
quarts of sugar as there are Of the
condensed juice. Stir all together
and boil up about three minutes.
Strain into pitcher, fill your jelly
glasses and let stand until next day

To Gall the Children Home.

"a policeman's whistler says the
mother of four small boys living in
a suburban town, s'solves the prob
lem of how to call the children
home with the least expenditure of
vocal energy and precious time. Of
course this would not answer in a.
city, where bluecoats abound, but
here or when off in the country it
is most efficacious. A child can't
make excuse that he didn't hear if
anywhere within the radius of a
half mile, and there is something in
the insistent note Of the whistle that
brings them scampering with as
much celebrity as those who followed
the Pied Piper Of Hamelin."
