Trained in simplicity of living, he
remains democratic in all his habits.
Except when pressed with business
matters, he is approachable by any
one wishing to e r meet him. Us
ually, he makes his headquarters In
hotels where the men he leads will
not feel out of place when they call
to consult him. He leads, and yet
the men who follow him believe that
he is but their servant carrying out
their expressed wishes. This is the
explanation of much of his power
ver the mine workers, particularly
in strike times. Its exercise has had
the effect of making him conserva-
tive in action. With his frugal hab-
its and comparatively small salary,
there is no place for 'high living" or
excuses that undermine mental Wig

pursuit his marked ability for or
ganizing and leading men would
command many times his present

Begin at the Right Place.

This was written and printed be-
fore the election; consequently we do
not know the complexion of the Leg
islature, but we know one thing, and
that is that Notwithstanding the in
tegrity and honesty of the last Leg
islature have not been called in ques-
ton, it will not do for the present
one just elected to follow the exam
pie of its predecessor In the "mag-
~nifcent" appropriations it makes.
The former appropriations were a
trife too magnificent. A farmer ap-
preached his merchant, with his ac-
count about half paid in January,
and asked for credit on the ground
that he had been a liberal trader.
"That is exactly your trouble,
FRIEND" the merchant said, "You
have been a little too liberal" It
will be well for our lawmakers to pro-
vide the funds before they appro-
pirate them, no matter how urgent
the necessities of the case. There
are some things hat cannot suffer
retrenchment. One of these is the
public school system. We are just
on the foodtide of a great education
al revival. The people have been
awakened to the supreme duty of ed
ucating their children. It would be
folly, nay, it would be criminal, to
dash the chalice from the lips of the
children just as they begin to drink.
And it will be wisdom in the highest
degree for General Assembly to
protect our child criminals by the
establishment of a Reformatory. Let
these things be done before the knife
is applied; after that the way will be
open for some heroic work.-Charity

DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,

About two years ago I had a very
severe case of kidney and bladder
trouble. The pain in the small of
my back was so severe that I could
not stand it to stay in one position
more than a moment or two, and
was obliged to pass water very often
day and night. I tried medicines
and doctors without getting relief.
Noticing an advertisement in the
Topeka State Journal of Swamp
Root, I determined to give it a

time I had finished the first bottle
the pain had entirely disappeared
from my back. The pain and fire.
quent desire to pass water ceased.
However, I continued to take the
medicine, using about six bottles in
all. That was over a year ago, and I
have had no return of the trouble
since.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are
responsible for more sickness and
suffering than any other disease;
therefore, when through neglect or
other causes, kidney trouble is per-
mitted to continue, fatal results are
sure to follow.
We often see a relative, a friend
or an acquaintance apparently well,
but in a few days we may be grieved
to learn of their severe illness, or
sudden death, caused by that fatal
type of kidney trouble-Bright's
Disease.
The mild and extraordinary effect
of the world-famous kidney and blad-
der remedy, DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, is soon realized. It stands
the highest for it's wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. A trial
will convince any one-and you may
have a sample bottle sent free by

The Life History of a Modern Labor
Leader.

Deprived of his mother within two,
ond Of his father within four years,
after his birth,-on February 4, 1869,
John Mitchell was early in life left
IN the care of his stepmother. His
schooling was meager, and was Sc
cured only at intervals when there
was no demand for his labor on the
farm. Thrown upon his own esour-
cps when but thirteen years of age,
he entered the mines at his birth
Mace in Braidwood, Ill. Three years
later, while employed in the mines in
Braceville, ILL.,, he was brought under
the influence of the labor movement
at that time directed by the Knights
of Labor. 1t made him restless, and,
with the indomitable will of his Irish
parentage, he set out determined to
see something of the world. He Wis
tied Colorado, New Mexico, and 9TH
er Western and Southwestern States,
working in the mines to support him
self. Drifting back to the Illinois
coal fields in 1886, he became a mine
worker at Spring Valley, and took
an active part in the tr~ade-union
movement there as president of the
knights of Labor Local" When
twenty-five years of age, he married
Miss Katherine O'Rouke, of Spring
Valley; five children have been born
to them, of whom four are living. At
one time he served as president of
the Spring Valley Board of Educa-
ton.
Thirsting for knowledge he read
everything that came within his
-; joined debating societies, ath-
ti associations, independent polit-
TSar reform clubs and various social
organizations, In which many oppor-
tunities came to him to exercise his
mental faculties and to cultivate the
art of speech-making. A ready talk
er with great personal magnetism, he
quickly formed friends, and was rap
idly promoted to positions of honor
and trust.
When the United Mine Workers of
America was organized in January,
1890, he was among the first to be n
rolled as a member in his district.
He was a delegate to the sub district
and district conventions; secretary
treasurer of the northern Illinois
sub-district, at that time embracing
all of the State then organized; and,
in 1896, chairman of the Illinois
Mine Workers legislative committee,
with headquarters at the State CAPT
tai to work for labor legislation. He
served later as a member of the Hi
nois State executive board and as a
national organizer.
In January, 1898, at the Columbus
convention, Nh. Mitchell was elected
national vice-president, and in Sep
TENDER of the same year the xec
tive board made him acting president
to succeed Mr.. M. d. Ratchford, who
resigned to become a member of the

interested in the game. The match
was between Willie Roth and \. T.
Brock.
The first set was very stubbOrnly
contested by each player, Roth having
a little the best of 1t. Each side won
seven games and then by a brilliant
series of plays, Roth secured the nGces-
sary two games, winning from Brock,
81.
In the second set Brock went all TO
pieces and Roth won Que by score OF
Go. In the last set Brock rallied some
what but was unable to pile up many
points on Roth, who won by a score Of
60.
This is the first time the Alexander
cup has been competed for. In order to

times in succession. With Roth's pres

that the unity Of the Hawaiian Church

MORE ABOUT coRN-coss.

The Jacksonville, Fla, Times Union
and Citizen has something to say about
corn-cobs, and among other things it
remarks:
With all due Difference to our aforesaid
contemporaries, there is much less mys-
terry than they imagine as to the purpose
TO which this corn cob meal is to be
devoted; and We regret to say that con-
siderable proportion of the doubtful pro-
duct comes South, where in due course
of time it passes into the possession of
the horny-handed agriculturist as an
adulterant of that favorite Southern fer
tilizer, cotton5eed meal.
AS a matter of fact there are three fac
tories in this country which annually turn
loose upon an unsuspecting world tons
upon tons of this meal, which is almost
entirely without value as food for either
man or beast. and which is valuable only
to ayaricious ana INSCRIPTIONS manufac-
turers and manipulatOrs of fertilizers,
confectionery, breakfast foods" beer,
etc.
How true it is, in the words of the old
Roman fabulist, Phaedrus, Things
are not always what they SEEM
Nothing that We eat or drink
is safe from the manlpulatlons OF
the mixer. Our bread and our butter, our
milk and our lard, even our whiskey and
our wines and our medicines, are none
of them what they purport to be. When
we buy anything we have no assurance
that the label or brand on it isn't lying.
We expect yet to learn that what we
buy as hens eggs are mixed with some
thing else.
We have for quite a while entertained
a suspicion that some OF our favorite
provender was sailing under false colors.
1t would be so easy to mix shredded
oats or wheat with shredded cobs, and
the profit would be so large that it need
not be wondered at if there is a good
deal of 1t done Cupiiity is a powerful
factor in business, and the difference he.
tween the price of wheat and corn-cobs
is great enough TO tempt the average pro-
wider of prepared food-stuffs Very like
ly we have been guzzllng corn-cobs in
the belief that it was unadulterated nura
food We were eating.
There's one thing about ground cobs
as an adulterant which is in its favor
and that is its harmlessness. Mixing corn
meal with -four and selling the result as
pure wheat fiou- is a sw,nlle on the pur-
caser, but no other harm is done. for
the product Is really better food. So
little OF the cob meal mixed with wheat
or oats, whether ground. crushed or
shredded. would probably ha re no i'll ef-
feet on the health. 1t would he an i'm
position on the buyer and the eater. but
we know Of no reason TO believe that il
would be hurtful or indigestible, or even
unpalatable. And so of mixing it with
eottonseed meal, or even with our b.er.
No harm IS done. but rhecA Is certainly
financial injury done those who pur
chase the combination. While it may be
a swindle t is among the least hurtful of
the authorizations now so common all over
the world.

SOME INDUSTRIAL POINTERS.

In a recent issue Of The Norfolk Land
mark there is an editorial of which the
following is an important part:
1t IL no small achievement to secure
for any city a factory employing three
or four thousand people and paying out in
weekly wages from $4,000 TO 10000 That
is what the Chamber of Commerce has
of its negotiations with the American
Cigar Company, which will proceed in
the near future to erect costly build
ing here and to manufacture its goods
on the large scale indicated.
That is business, substantial business
of the kind that builds cities. Wednes-
day morning The Advertier printed some
news connected with the action of the
Commercial and Industrial Association In
commencing the movement being made
by the Manufacturing Committee to Sc
cure the location OF large stove man.
ufacturing esta blishmert in this city
Only few days ago the papers had an
account of the efforts being made by
the Messrs. Schuler to find a suitable
location for an extensive steel plant in
Alabama. After investigating conditions
at Birmingham and Bessemer, and prob
ably at other places, they decided on
Gadsden and have already gone to work
making preparations for their plant.
All these happenings are along the same
line and refer to like objects. They
likewise afford a text for a good indus
trial sermon for some one to preach.
The Norfolk Chamber of Commerce is
certainly deserving of credit for its work.
but it could hardly have secured the to-
bacco manufacturing plant unless the
CITY and citizens had co-operated We do
not know all the particulars of the Schu-
lers going to Gadsden, but it was un-
doubtedly because they found sufficient
inducement there to overbalance any
difficulties caused by the greater distance
from raw material.
All this is a pointer for Montgomery
and for the people and the capital of
Montgomery The industry referred to
Wednesday will come If our citizens are
true to themselves and meet the condi-
tons before them. There must be
ready response to the committees who
are canvassing the city. II this indus
try comes it will lead the way for other

tirely different character. There is not
shadow of reason why all articles made
