THE PRESIDENT IN MAINE.
Delivered Eight Speeches; And
Numerous Short Talks.
SLEPT IN BLAINE'S BED ROOM.

Augusta, Me-, Aug. 2S.-President
Roosevelt passed through three states,
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire and
Maine, delivered eight speeches and
received the plaudits of a quarter of II
million people. The greeting which
has marked his progress through New
Engla has been flattering in the ex-
treme. Everywhere at the regular
stops and the smaller stations along
the road the people were strenuous in
their efforts to catch a glimpse of him
or hear him speak.
AS the president was about to board
his car at South Lawrence, Mass,
after delivering his address, the leader
of the band stepped up and made him
self known to him. He said his name
was Banan, former cowpuncher and
barber at Medora, n. D., where the
presidents ranch is located. The pres
ident Immediately recognized him and
greeted him as an old friend.
When Danvile Junction was reached,
the president was greeted by Postmas-
ter General and Mrs. Payne, Mrs.
Carrot A. Hobart and Mrs. Charles
Emory Smith. Mr.. Payne accompanied
the president to Lewiston.
Some stops were made which were
not in the itinerary.
Although the day had been hard
one on him, the president gave but
slight signs of fatigue. While here he
is the guest of Governor Hill, who met
him at the depot and escorted him to
his residence, where the president made
short address.
The governors house has become his
toric because of the fact that twas the
home Of James G. Blaine, and the
president occupied the bedroom used
by that statesman.
Before his departure President
Roosevelt will have visited every con-
gressional district in the state, the
principal city in each district, and the
home city of each of Names United
States senator's.

Tamaqua, Pa, Aug. 30.-The situs-
ton in the Panther Creek valley is
serious. The streets of Lansford and
Summit Hill were thronged with
strikers. Early in the evening two
companies of the Twelfth regiment
were sent through the valley on n
trolley car. All along the line the
soldiers were hooted and jeered, and
it was not deemed prudent to take
them off the cars. While Mary Mark
ley was carrying supper to her brother,
who is employed at colliery near
Lansford, she was set upon and severely
beaten by crowd of womer.

Miner, ordered to vac.te Houses.

Hinton, w. Va, Aug. 3o.-Great ex-
element exists in the vicinity of Red
Ash and Beury, caused by the consta-
bles removing the striking miners from
the company's houses About forty
families who were notified to leave the
houses refused to vacate and when the
constables began to remove their
household goods volley of shots was
fred at the officers from the opposite
side of the river. They returned the
fire with rifles. 1t is estimated that
500 shots were fired. The shooting was
all at long range and no one of the
Red Ash side is hurt

A Faithful Friend.

Lenox, Mo-, Sept. 1st.-Mr. w. H.
Brown of this place has reason to be
thankful that he has at least one
friend by whose good advice he has
been spared much pain and trouble.
He says:
81 have had backache for over
twelve months. Sometimes l could
hardly get up when l was down the
pain in my back was so great.
Il tried many things but could not
get anything to help me or give me
relief till a good friend of mine ad-
vised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
After l had used two boxes the
pain in my back had all left me and
l was as we'll as ever l was.
81 am very thankful to Dodd's Kid
ney Pills for what they have done for
me and will never forget my friend
for having suggested this remedy"

THE School BOOK TROUBLE.
Superintendent Nelson Gives Some
Suggestions to School Officials.
ALL THE BOOKS NOT TIED UP.

Topeka, Aug. 29.-State Superin-
tendent Frank Nelson has sent circu-
lar letter to all county superintendent
advising them to inform their bo.rds
and the teachers that the schools
should open on the date selected and
all new text books should be used ex-
cept those to be furnished by the
American Book company. The teach
ers and pupils are to use the old books
until the case is decided. The circular
letter says:
II am receiving SO many inquiries
relative to the status of the text book
situation that l deem it my duty to
offer the following suggestions 70 SUI
perintendcnts and patrons of the
schools:
"The readers, biographies and phys
iologies are tied up by reason of the
restraining order of the probate judge
of Shawnee county. The hearing has
been set for September l. However,
many of the schools of the state begin
the first week of September. Under
the circumstances patrons can use the
old books that they have on hand in
reading, geography and physiology,
because it is not safe to buy new text
books in these subjects either of the
displaced ones or the newly adopted
ones, until the question involved has
been settled by the courts. 1t is neither
expedient nor safe to buy books of the
series adopted five years ago except the
arrthmetics and advanced grammar,
which were re-adopted, for, should the
courts hold that the newly adopted
texts in reading, geography and phys
iology are legally adopted, every pur-
chase made of the old series of these
texts would be an additional expense
to the people.
81 trust it will not be necessary to
postpone the opening of the schools be-
cause of this difficulty to secure text
books 1t is earnestly hoped that the
issue at question will be solved at the
very earliest moment so that the school
work of the state may not he jeopar-
died"

made to have the present law amended
by the legislature next winter so as to

ference of union miners and operators
which has been in continuous session
here for nearly ninety days has 'inex-
pectedly reached a settlement and n
contract wage scale has been agreed
upon. Although not yet signed it is
believed that it will stand, and that n
strike will be avertcd, except, perhaps,
against the Big -Four. The companies
included are all those in district No. IA,
except the Western Coal and Mining
Company, the Central Coal and Coke
Company and the Southwest Improve
mcnt Company, and it is believed they
will sign. The contract is practically
the same as last year, with but few
changes. The miners secured conces-
sions on dead" work. Regarding the
powder question they will hereafter
have twelve and onc-half pound cans
instead of twenty-five pounds, at the
same ratio in price.

che association say that they will abb
Soiutely refuse to renew them, and
that their business will go to concerns
outside of the combine, even If goods
have to be shipped in from New York.

TO the manufacturers, it is only neces-
sary to state that the Wichita house OF
efse McCormic,xs alone, during the past
season, did over a million dollars
worth of business. The implement
dealers association will engage in the
4ight to the finish, according to the

TROUBLE OVER ALL0TMENTS.
Real Estate Companies Tried to Capture
Minors Lands.

Muslsogee, l. T., Aug. 30-There is
trouble in store for the real estate com
panies who have been purchasing de-
ceased minor Indian land from the
parents of the dead children. The
practice is being carried on on a whole
sale scale, but within a few days it will
BE ended. Under the supplemental
agreement, as well as the statutes of
Arkansas, which formerly covered such
transactions here, the parents of de-
ceasd minors were the natural and law
full guardians of their estates. How
ever, they do not inherit the property,
merely having life estate, and the
property then goes to the brothers and
sisters.
Those firms which are taking leases
on Creek lands and not giving sufficient
money therefor are also finding that
they are not sleeping on bed of roses.
An examination of the supplemental
agreement clearly shows that while
parents are the constituted legal guar
dams, without bond, of their minor
children, the proper court will require
that they account for the estate Of their
children

Green Glass Bottle association, which
has been in session in Chicago, and
authorized the advance. He said the
cause of the raise was the increased
cost of production, due to the advance
in the. price of both labor and ma
teriais. The association includes
eighteen of the largest manufacturers
of the United States.

IMMENSE CATTLE SHIPMENTS.
Santa Fe Takes 500 Cars Into Chicago
Stock Yards in 10 Hours.


Chicago, Aug. as.-Owing to its re-
duction of the cattle rate to. IL cents
per 100 pounds from the Missouri river
and transmssouri territory to Chicago
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe is
now doing the largest cattle business
in it's history, and instead of the re-
duction proving a loss of revenue, as
was predicted, it is causing quite an
increase in its earnings. On one night
recently 40 cars were carried into
Chicago over this road from transmits
souri, and Texas points, and about GO
cars to ST. Joseph, making in all about
500 cars of cattle which were handled
by the eastern division of the road in
ten hours.
1t would probably have been impos-
assistance of the prairie type of freight
engines, which have been doing con-
siderable in the way of breaking
records. Three of these engines drew
three of the trains which went from
Emporia to Kansas City, and each of
the trains was composed of so cars of
cattle.
1t would have been regarded as an
impossibility few years ago to run
three trains all in string, with so
cars of cattle on each, but this is done
now without the least apparent diff
Guilty. About the only trouble that is
experienced in handling such long
trains is in the passing of other trains.
Many of the sidetraclls on the division
will not hold so cars, and it almost
made the train dispatchers gray headed
last week devising means to bring
them along without any interference
withthe regular ira ms.

The following monosyllable presen-

one of Boston's celebrated statisti-
clans: A wife burnt her mans corpse.
She put the ash in an urn on the best
shelf in her best room. Her love led
her to wed once more. An ice storm

ash from the urn and spread it. on
the steps to save the risk of slips by
the man she loved while he lived.
Thus she urned one man and made
him earn his keep.
