HORROR OF HUNGER.
Wives and Children of the Miners Are
BeaQing for Bread.

A Shenandoah, Pa, dispatch says;
Despite the denials of the leaders
many strikers here are suffering for
want of food, and women and children
surround the soldiers mess tents at
meal time, waiting for scraps of food
left from the tables. An order to the
troops 10y commanding officers has
been issued that all food not needed Oy
hem be set aside in clean receptacles
for the use of unfortunate strikers.
The expense TO the state OF main
tanning 1,2O0 soldiers here continue 5
and practically there is no change in
the miners situation. The men are
more confident than ever. The dis
tribution of relief is progressing salts
factorily. About 100000 has so Tar
been expended.
Peace seems to have settled down
over this coal community and the 2u-
thorites are hopeful that the danger
of further outbreak ia very remote.

WONDERFUL MOTOR GAS
Runs AUTOMOBILES
INVENTOR EXPECTS TO SEE FINE
MACHINES SOLD FOR $3.50.
Ne Claims for New Gas Cheapness, Safe
ty and Easiness of Control. Can
Be Used for Illuminating.

It does not require a close scrutiny
of the reports from the patent office at
Washington to inform the average
man that wondrous improvements are
being made in the purely mechanical
as we'll as in the scientific world, says
q New York Tribune reporter. Now,
those who are interested in automO-
biles have new problem to keep them
busy. The latest thing in automobiles,
which the writer inspected the other
day, is a gasoline machine from which
the gasoline tank is removed, another
tank substituted and the machine run
without the use of any gasoline at all.
When the gasoline tank had been re-
moved, another tank, smaller in size,
was put in its place. The new tank
contained a gas which, in connection
with the usual dry battery, the gaso-
line engine and free air, supplied the
power for the running of the automo-
bile The inventor, for the present at
least intends to keep secret how this
gas is made. although he asserts that
,patents have been granted to him in
the United States, Canada and in Eu
rope.
An interesting demonstration of the
efficiency of the new power was given
lin a little vacant store in the lower
part of Manhattan. The inventor, his
son and the writer were present. The
gmachine to which the new force was
applied had been hastily put together.
There were the framework and half
horsepower machinery of an old quad
tricycle.. On top of these had been
placed the wooden body of an ordina-
ny runabout road wagon. The front
pneumatic tired wheels rested on the
floor, while the rear wheels were
tjacked up several inches from the
tflo0T. This was done to give the en-
gine full play without moving the au-
aomobile.
The gas was confined in a steel tank
eight inches in diameter by fifteen
6nches in length. This tank was placed
an the body of the wagon just back of
Ghe seat and was connected by little
ArOn tubing with the gasoline engine
xplaced between the axles of the rear
4sgheels. This tubing ran around to the
left side of the wagon bed, across the
dashboard in front and then back along
.the body of the runabOut and connect
ed with the engine in the rear. There
are two openings in the tubing for air,
zone in the rear and one on the dash
board. the latter being accessible to the
driver Of the autOmOhilp who can in
crease or decrease the flow of gas as
+he may desire. The lever. or steering
rod. extends from the dashboard and
has a rubber handle. An inch from the
rubber handle there is a little hard
rubber disk, not unlike the steel slide
to be found on the modern hammerleSs
shotgun. With this slide the driver con-
trolls the speed Of the machine and the
amount of gas to be generated The

Pneumonia, the illness from
which the junior Roosevelt is
suffering, is one of the most dan
gerous and fatal diseases that
affiict mankind. Here in Colorado
it kills more people than any other
malady originating in the state.
Many people die of consumption,
but that was brought with them
from outside. Very few persons
in any climate would be afflicted
with either pneumonia or con-
sumption if all would fortify the
system by means of daily cold
douse on rising in the morning.
A daily one-minute cold bath at
sunrise wards off most diseases as
steel armor repels arrows, and when
one has become accustomed to it
he would rather omit a meal tnan
miss the luxury of the new vigor
it conveys. The morning cold
bath habit necessitates strenuous
life, but it is paralyzer for pneu-
monia, colds, consumption, doctors
and undertakers. Pueblo Chief

Fearless and Independent.

The Chicago Record Herald is con-
spicious example of the success with
which the public rewards fearless
nonpartisanshiip in the columns of a
great metropolitan daily paper.
1t is an independent newspaper, in
which men and measures are invari-
ably viewed wholly from the stand
point of the public good and not from
that of the interests of any political
patty. 1t is the very reverse of neu-
tral-fearless and outspoken on all the
great questions of the day, but pre-
senting its editorial opinion upon in
dependent judgment and entirely re-
gardless of political affiliations. Par
tisanship is barred as strictly from
the news columns as from the editorial
page. All political news is given
without partisan coloring, thus en-
abling the reader to form correct con-
clusions for himself. In the ordinary
partisan newspaper political news is
ordinarily colored to such an extent
rs to make II difficult if not impos-
sible for the reader to secure sound
basis for intelligent judgment.

The bankers of the state are just
making the discovery that there is no
such thing as days of grace" in the
matter of negotiable instruments in
Iowa now. Last winter the Legislature
was asked to pass special act abolish
ing days of grace, but it was hard
fought by the farmers and business men
and beaten badly in the house. Then
the bill was passed which was prepar-
ed by the American Bar Association
to bring about uniformity in the laws
on negotiable instruments, and this
put through without the change of a
letter. 1t is bill of not less than 8,
600 words and was never actually read
in either house. 1t contained a
clause which knocked out the days of
grace by direct enactment, and every
negotiable instrument now natures ex-
actly on the day named on the instru-
ment.

Old Resident of DecOrah Passes Away.

The many friends of Mr.. j. G.
Strong, one of the pioneer residents
and we'll known former citizens of De-
corah, were grieved to learn of his
sudden death at the home of his son H.
A. Strong, in Minneapolis, last We'd
nesday. He was in his usual health
the night before he died and retired
as was his custom, early. When his
son arose in the morning he noticed
that his father had not awakened, and
going to his room found him dead,
heart disease being the cause.
j. G. Strong was born in 1882, in
Herkimer, n. Y, and in 1853 came
west to Cleveland, Ohio, coming to
Iowa in 1857, and locating at Fort At
kinson, where he engaged in the mer-
camille business. In 1862 he returned
to New York, conducting general
merchandise store in Yorkshire, Cat
taragus county. In 1865 he again re-
moved to Iowa, settling in Decorah,
where he purchased grain, wool, etc. :,
for a year, and for eight years after
ward was secretary of the Mississippi
Valley Insurance Co. At the death of
his brother in law, H. S. Weiser, he
and J. M. Williams became executors
of the estate, and Mr.. Strong was
chosen president of the Winneshiek
County Bank, retiring from active
business several years later. Six years
ago he went to Minneapolis to reside
with his son, where he lived up to
the time of his death. He was married
in 1856 to Abbie @. Amy, who passed
away Oct. %, 1899. Three sons were
born to them,H H. A. j. @. and r. L., the
latter dying in 1882. The remains
were brought to Decorah last Friday,
and ON Saturday the funeral services
were held from the home of j. P. Nc
Kinney, interment being in the Phelps
cemetery.
Mr.. Strong was for many years close
ly identified with the business and
social growth of Decorah, and he will
be remembered by many as a man of
ability, industry and public spirit.
The sympathies of large acquaint-
ance are extended to the bereaved
ones.
