the age Of II, attend school.
The witness declared also that
miners occupation is more risky than
that OF men In any other large industry.
Have you noticed the effect Of saloons
on miners?" WAS the next question
The number of saloons I'm Schuylkill

And -eaRsaRsls- of opinion La that IL
Is due largely 10 the Miners union
He said that the social worth and man

been greatly Increased through the
Miners union.

On further cross-examination Mr.
Roberts admitted that in some instances
on account OF impurities the mea sure
ment OF coal by weight would be inprac-
tcable.
Mr.. Wolverton inquired II II would be
fair to average the work OF ell the miners
for the day. but the witness said IT would
depend on the miner. THE lazy miner"
said Mr.. Wolverton, would get as much
as the industrious miner, would he not?"
The system Of docking would come In"
was tho answer.
But there would bs no docking ther,
because there would be no occasion for
any"
DOCKING WILL CONTINUE.
DR. Roberts insisted that there would
be and said that that Is one OF the prin-
cipal grievances OF the miner

system OF docking and dividing IL up

can there be any uniform standard OF
wages or where fixed would the wages
apply TO the whole coal region or "a
one coDiery that would do Justice 10 the
employe and employer"
The witness replied that he dtd NOT

said That where work is the same or
nearly so there was no reason why wages

WHAT OF THE FAIR?

Inc lnQlHerenJ success Gtta1neQ Dy
the Mahaska and other local fairs
points to the conclusion that the old
time agricultural exhibition has seen
it's day. In connection with other at
fractions it has an important role to
play, but it no longer seems able 20
put on the whole play,
On the other hand, nobody wants to
see these occasions abandoned, or the
grounds converted into other use.
The directors and officers of the asso-
citation have given of their time and
labor without recompense, but with
all their efforts have been unable to
enthuse the people, or interest exhib-
itors.
All these suggest one necessity--a
change of program. AS advice is
cheap after the horses are gone, the
Herald has none to offer, but by way
of suggestion, &C would venture some
sort of a reunion in connection with
the exhibits and races. On Wednes-
day, for instance. have a gathering Of
lodge people. Offer prizes for the best
drilled company, and havG an address
on fraternity by someone equal to the
occasion. On Thursday have sol
diers reunion which would include the
veterans of all wars and the local
military company AS a special at
traction secure detachment of ar
tillery and a good sized mounted gun
Their maneuvers would not only be
Interesting, but instructive as well.
lThen on Friday have an old settlers
| reunion, with the attractions that us.
| ually go with such occasions. Bring
back some old time Mahaska county
boy,-and the woods is full of them
who has gone out into the world and
has made a brilliant success of life,-
and let him talk to the crowd.
This plan is purely suggestive and
is offered in spirit Of aid rather than
criticism. If anybody has any other
scheme to offer we would be glad tc
hear from them. We don't want tc
| give up the fair, but something must
/ be done to put 1t on paying basis
And now while the matter is fresh ir
everybody's mind would be the right
time to map out good course fol
next year, and begin right away tC
push it to a successful issue.

about Mr.. Lacey, 1--WE don't want &C
overthrow man who is doing al nc
can for the elevation of labor" he
further says: "If there are 5,ooe
miners in this district 1t Is their duty
to vote for the man who has done
something for their benefit Tnis
man is Major Lacey, who has SO efn'
GENTLY represented his constituents
Tor so many years, the man who Is
looked up to by his fellow congress
men and other government officials
more than any other one member In
the house Of representatives
These sentiments come from a man
who is thoroughly acquainted with the
conditions which surround the miners
of this district and one who is perfect
ly capable to judge of their needs.
Few men have made as thorough q
study of their work as Mr.. Thomas,
and the fact that he is entirely at
home on mining subjects is Witnessed
in the fact. that two years ago at the
meeting of the Eisteddfod held in Cs-
kaloosa he delivered paper before
Jndt dooCAhOly On tAO OobJCSS ~
Best System of Ventilation for a
Nine" and in recognition of the mer-
its of this discussion he was awarded
second prize. Mr.. Thomas at present
lives in Marquisville. having gone
there about a year ago from Keb,
where he was well known in mining
circles.
There can be no doubt but that the
sentiments expressed by Mr.. Thomas
are those of a large number of miners
throughout this district, and to the
miner as well as to every other citi-
zen, who is looking for the man to
best represent them and look after
their interests in the lower house Of
congress for the next two years, we
can only say, work for Mr.. Lacey dur
ing the coming campaign and when at
the polls this fall cast your ballots for
him.

THE SIXTH DISTRICT.

A correspondent at Des Moines says:
Sixth district republicans who visit
Des Moines are full of confidence that
Major Lacey will receive his usual ma
jority in the sixth district in spite of
the noise that is being made by the
Democrats over the nomination of Jno.
P. Reese, the president Of the United
Mine Workers. They say that while a
large number of the miners are demo-
Gratis they believe that Major Lacey
will receive the support of a great
many of them. The colored miners
are republicans and they will undoubt-
edly be for Lacey. Moreover, all Of the
miners have been greatly annoyed by
the long continued assessment Of 10
per cent of their wages to help out
the miners of the anthracite regions.
Another feature of the case that has
not been as fully commented on is the
lukewarmness of the old time demo
Gratis of the district. Two years ago
the best of the Democrats were proud
to throw their support to A. G. Steck.
of Ottumwa, a level-headed lawyer.
They are not falling over themselves
to help Reese, who they look upon as a
populist rather than democrat. Many
of the democrats of the district and
especially the more influential, prefer
Lacey to Reese any day. Lacey's
friends are constantly on the alert,
however. and do not propose to be the

,owA,s LIBRARY GIFTS.

According to a report in the last
quarterly bulletin of the Iowa library
commission, libraries in the state will
soon be as thick as school houses.
During the year ending July 1, the Ii
brary gifts to Iowa towns reached the
enormous total of $317,500. The num-
Der of towns benefited was twenty-five
but in some cases several money
gifts were received for different IL
brary purposes, such as lot, building,
book fund, endowment, etc. The in
teresting part of the report, however,
is Mr.. Carnegie's lion share therein.
OF the $317,500, Mr.. Carnegie contrib
uted$2S2, 900, or over eighty per
cent. All of Mr.. Carnegie's gifts
were for building purposes, the a.
mounts ranging from $4,000 for Ha-
warden to $4,000 for Clinton and
Waterloo. Anamosa citizens raised
$4,000 for a lot and the cities of
Cedar Falls, Clinton, Oskaloosa and
Newton gave lots for buildings. The

brary building in Iowa the past year:

DIR. Frank Crane, who will resign
the pastorate of the Peoples church
of Chicago to accept a unanimous call
from the Union Congregational church
of Worcester, Mass, was chosen af-
ter search that extended over two
years. DR.. Crane is a native of Illi.
nois, having been bern in Urbana in

an University in Bloomington, where
he received his degrees as master of
arts and doctor of philosophy. Wes-
leyan University in Lincoln, Neb., hon
ored him with the degree of doctor of
divinity. His career as a preacher
was preceded by three years of school
teaching in the backwoods, and his
first annual salary as a pastor amount
ed to only SIS, From his Worcester

The Herald has always maintain
ed that it pays to buy at home, and a
little incident recently has convinced
1t for all time to come. When this
Office was moved the big electric motor
that drives the machinery was revers-
ed. AS a consequence it baked and one
end of the shaft began to dance jig.
This necessitated a new brass. boxing.
AS we could not keep house without it
repairs we're demanded while the
wheels were moving. On the advice
of the machinist employed, and to
hasten matters, we sent to the factory
for new one. After waiting ten days
the casting came, but had been bored
out an eighth of an inch too large.
This was on Friday, and the condition
of the motor demanded immediate
action. We told our troubles anew
to the Iowa Manufacturing Comapny
and insisted on having the job done at
once. They tackled it at once and
little before Sunday morning on Sat
urday night the job was done. Mon
day morning the mortor started off
again like rubber tired buggy.
Hereafter when they need anything
from monkey wrench to a brick
house we shall insist upon the words
made in Oskaloosa" being blown in

in Chicago that celibacy promotes

CANDIDATES AND MINERS.

Commenting on the nomination OF
John P. Reese, president of district
No. 13, United Mine Workers of
America, for congress on the demo-
cratic ticket to run against Major
John F. Lacey, Dan Thomas, one of
the most prominent men in miners
circles, who until about one year ago
resided in Keb, says:
The paramount question that con-
fronts the voters or this district is,
"Shall the miners assist In sending a
man to congress as their representa-
tive, who is known to be their friend
and who has already shown his sim
cerity in the matter and his ability by
securing legislation in their behalf, or
shall they try to elect man who has
had no experience in the methods OF
the workings Of congress, and who IL
elected, would be in accord with the
minority instead Of the majority of
that body?"
It is simply a proposition such as
comes to every citizen and business
man in every day life, shall we have
man as our representative at the
national capital who is thoroughly IA
miliar with the work or shall we send
one there who will necessarily be com
PEELED to spend considerable time IL
getting acquainted with the methods
used before he will be able to do any
thing at all, and who even then coul
not do much because he would repre-
sent the minority party.

ability of Mr.. Reese in handling tn
| affairs of the miners organization 4

done more for the working people thi
year than all the people Of Iowa pu
together" and again in speaking
