the increase to the Forest City men
/ amounted to as much as fourteen per
| cent. in some instances. 1t was shown
that the witness drew $444.25 in ten
| months of 1901.
| William Murphy and Anthony Welby,
miners from the Archibald coliery of the
| Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
| company, told of the attempt to form
| the Lackawanna union, prior to the
| strike of 1900. They told that commit
| tee appointed by the foreman asked
| them to join such a union Murphy
| also told that when he refused to join
| one of the committee told him he might
| be sorry for refusing.
NJ. S. Lavelle, told that District Sup
erintendent Thomas Williams, Reese
Exams and Thomas Morgan separately
| approached him to join the Lackawan-
| ma union, and that District .Superin-
| tendent Williams tried to persuade him
| to become president of the Continental
local of the new union.
Mr.. Lavelle told of reductions made
in the prices paid in two veins, at the
| Continental after the 1900 strike. The
men wanted Sl.10 a car and $l.25 for
! rock. The company offered $1.0l a car
| and seventy-tive cents for rock. A COM
mittee waited on General Manager
Loomis and it was agreed they should
work for these prices providing the
company would guarantee sixteen cars
to the keg.
On cross-eXamination the witness adj
mitted the men Went back to work ln-
der this agreement. He added, though,
that they could not make a living wage
at 1t.
Rev. Thomas R. Watkins, of North
Scranton, the labor candidate for re-
corder, was called to testify as to the
formation of the Lackawanna union.
He works at the $torr's shaft and has
been "A miner for thirty-five years. He
also breaches when called upon to fill
a vacant pulpit, being a regularly or
dained Congregational minister,
Mr.. Watkins told that when the
movement for the organiza ton of the
Lackawanna union was afoot, just
previous to the 1900 strike, a fire boss
at the Storrs solicited him to join it,
saying it would be of much more bene-
fit to the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western men than the United Mine
Workers. He was reminded by the fire
boss of the history of previous miners
unions and how ii was likely that in
the united Mine workers there We're
thieves who would steal the funds. lie
declined to join the Lackawanna union
despite all this.
Major Warren contented himself as
cross-eXamination with one question,
carrying the inference that the purpose
of the Lackawanna union was to fur
ther the very thing that President Nit
chel was advancing-collective bargain
ing between company and all its EN-
ployes,
To show that its main purpose was
to antagonize the United Mine Workers
Mr.. Darrow read from the constitution
of the Lackawanna union. a clause set
ting forth that 1t was a particularly de-
sirable organization for anthracite men
as 1t was not controlled by soft coal or
other prejudicial interests"
Several more witnesses also told of
alleged discrimination. but like substan-
TALLY all the others they could not deny
that II was necessary for the company
to fill their places during the strike, and |
that the men who took the places are |
still holding them.

Relevancy Of Testimony.
After a lengthy discussion as to the
relevancy of the testimony 1t was pro-
posed to present regarding alleged coin"
binations determinations and exorb .
liant rates. 1t was announced by Judge
Gray that while the commission felt 1t
was called upon to make finding on
these matters, 1t would hear what 1t
was proposed to offer. I'VE have quite
enough to do" said the Judge, ito de-
eide the controverted issues of the
strike, without widening it's scope, as
suggested by the offered evidence
Henry d. Lloyd who prepared the
evidence. was called upon to give an
outline of what would be offered.
He said it pertained to the causes,
character and results of combinations
of capital and combinations of labor in
the coal regions; the profits Of coal
mining: determinations in freight
rates; the economical, political and
social consequences of the combna-
tions. 1t was. in other words, he en-

bering the record with what Mr.. Lloyd
had to offer. Judge Gray could not see
the relevancy of it. Mr.. Darrow ex-
planned that it would at least answer
the allegation of some of the companies
that they could not afford to pay in
creased wages.
A lengthy discussion as to the admis-
sion of this testimony was cut short by
Judge Gray remarking: "Cio ahead,
Mr.. Lloyd, we might as well spend two
hours receiving the evidence as in dis
cussing whether or not we will receive
it.
After Mr.. Lloyd had proceeded for
an hour and a half with his reading,
he reached the matter of freight rates
and profits. Mr.. Wolverton again OBJ
jected, saying this testimony was
wholly irrelevant. that there was moth
ing the commission wants in the way
of information can be predicated on
the preferred testimony. and that at all
events such matters were for the Inter-
state Commerce commission.

| "Hcw long has it taken you to ga'il-
| er all that data?" inquired General Will
son, looking up from a letter he was
writing and letting his gaze fall upon
| the stack of books and papers in front
| of Mr.. Lloyd.
| "Twenty years" proudly replied the
eminent sociologist.
"Well, we haven't that much time to
| look it over, Mr.. Lloyd" said the gen.
, eral, as he resumed his letter writing.
Judge Gray said he thought the
Lloyd data was wholly outside the
scope of the present inquiry. If the
operators aver that they are unable, on
account of meagre profits, to pay the
wages the miners are demanding, he
said, the question of profits may prop
| erly come before the commission. Until
such time, he would ask Mr.. Lloyd to
refrain from a further presentation CT
his data.

Local Theatrical People.

There are several persons in
town now in attention thorough
1y engrossed with things theatric-
al. The quick nervefu1 start and
deep guttera1 accents of the double
william, or the wild laughter of the
lunatic, in their forgetfulness they
sometimes manifest in the common,

and by night, in several well
known homes the spell works and
more than one person is said to
have been uncermonious1y kicked

The condition is the result OF

SUES FOR DIVORCE
Cruel and Inhuman Treatment and
Non-Support are the Grounds.

Lucinda Evans has sued her
husband, M C Evans, for divorce.
The complaint has been filed with
the county clerk. 1t alleges that
Mr. and Mrs Evans were married
in June 1893, and sets forth cruel
and inhuman treatment and non
support as the grounds for action.
The plaintiff has resided with her
mother since the early part of 1900,
during a portion of which time de-
fendant has been studying medicine
in the East. There are three chill
dren. Plaintiff asks for the Gus
tody of the children, for a disso1u-
ton of the marriage bonds and for
costs and disbursements of the pro-
ceeding.

HOW THEY PAY
And What They Say-Tax Collections
and the Rebate Some Dislike the
Law.

Of "a persons who had paid tax
es up to noon Thursday, all but
two gathered in the rebate. The
two only paid half the amount OF
their taxes, and accordingly could
get nothing in the way of premium.
They will have, however, until the
first Monday in October to pay the
remainder. The amount of taxes
received by the sheriff up to noon
Thursday was over S., 900, an
amount unusually large in COM
parison with the time the sheriff
has had the books.
The indications now are that the
bulk of the tax money will be paid
in by March 18th, which is the last
day of the limit for getting the re-
bate. Thursday Sheriff Burnett
in response to request for it, sent
to Wade Malone at A1sea store, a
complete list of the tax payers in
A1sea. It is presumed from the
request that the taxpayers of that
realm are making arrangements to
pay in time to claim the premium.
The sheriff has also received from
the Southern Pacific, the Oregon
& California, and the Corvallis &
Eastern railroads, requests for ex-
act information concerning the
amount of each company's taxes,
The letters say it is the intention
to pay the tax in time to get the
draw down.
More than one taxpayer registers
a kick at the law as he stands at
the counter inquiring the amount
of his taxes. One said Thursday
that it was a fine thing for the
moneyed men but that it fell other
wise on some of the other class.
Every farmer cannot, at this season
of the year, he said, gather togeth-
er enough money to pay his taxes.
If he cannot, he gets no rebate.
If he cannot pay any of it, until
after the first Monday in April,
then he has a penalty to pay, be-
sides interest. The tendency, he
concluded is to shift the burden of
taxes to those least able to bear it.

AN EMPTY CABIN
On Prairie Mountain Provisions
There but no Tenant-Where is he?

There but no Tenant-Where is he?
People in that section speculate
some over facts surrounding lone
1y cabin that stands on Prairie
Mountain in the southwestern por-
ton of Benton county. There are
thousands of acres of open land on
the top of Prairie Mountain. The
open land comprises two prairies
separated by deep canon, one OF
which is known as Belknap, and
the other as Woo1ridge prairies.
In Woolridge prairie stands the
cabin in question. It is ten or
fifteen miles to the home of the
nearest settler. It is reached by a
trail from Inman's mill. Inside
the cabin now are sugar, coffee,
-four and other provisions sufficient
to last a man weeks or months,
besides blankets and other conven-
fences for human comfort. On the
door is the legend, Go in and
make yourself at home"
There is no tenant in this cabin.
A man went in there last Novemb-
er. He took along the provisions.
A German near Inman's mill saw
him go in, but never saw him come
out. Several parties have recently
been at the cabin, and all they have
found is a solemn stiffness, the
legend and the provisions described
above
Nobody knows what became of
the man. 1t is supposed that he
came from Eugene, and is it deemed
possible that he has returned there
or gone elsewhere. Some believ-
ed that he went in there to locate
timber Or on some other errand ofthe
sort, and that having completed his
work, he has gone away, leaving
I his provisions to whomsoever may
carry them off Whether it is
this, that is theexplanation, or that
something has befa1len the strang-
er, is riddle that the future per
haps may unrave1.

A HUNDRED THERE
Their First TriaI-Meet Again Next
Week-The Choral Singers.

+
The first practice by local sing
ers for the May Festival occurred
in the college chapel Tuesday ev-
Eening. Ninety seven singers were
present. After preliminary testing
of voices to determine which part
singers should join, a few simple
Echoruses brought the voices togeth-
er. There was plenty of tone,
plenty of will, and volume and
power showed better with every
fresh trial.
After that, the first four choruses
of the Messiah" were undertaken.
After many efforts at each passage,
more or less successful, confidence
was gradually established between
conductor, chorus and accompanist,
and before the evening ended, each
of the four choruses was sung
through without stoppageor break.
a great result from an inexperienc-
ed choir.
Next Tuesday evening, practice

chapel at 1880. After a short time
it is hoped to avail of the kindness
of the council and fremen to hold
practices in the city hall. Mr. Nash
said Wednesday that it is plain
that there is ample material for a
splendid Festival chorus, well
worthy of the great occasion prom
ised. A thing now essential is for
every one who expects to join the
chorus to do so at once.
After all, the long delay in the
arrival of the books is not without
its compensation. By reason of
the fact that they came by freight,
instead of express, the cost of the
set of three is reduced to a dollar,
which is a remarkably low figure.
Every singer should secure a set
at once. They can be procured
from Prof. John Fulton, secretary
of the union.
