THE removal of M. A. Hull to niger
soil, Ok, and the consolidation of the
Kiowa Review with the Kiowa News,
leaves the Index alone to buck three
republican papers In Barber county.
1t VIII naturally require increased eff
fort on our part to pull against three
and in doing so we should have the
support Of all elements opposed to re-
publicanism and especially those who
are weary of bossism and boss-ridden
policies designed for individual gain.
The Index will take occasion to make a
practical experiment of how bad the
people of Barber county want q paper
which will oppose these policies. If
the republicans of this county can sup.
port three papers, it seems that the CD
position should support one.

An Expert on the Coal Supply.

In yesterdays issue of the Philadel-
phia North American our townsman,
James G. Bohlin, in an able article on
the editorial page of the paper, takes
issue with the prevailing idea that the
coal supply of the anthracite region is
nearing exhaustion. Mr.. Bohlin con-
tends that but small amount Of the
original deposit in the anthracite field
has yet been located, and he follows his
statement with convincing proofs.
The writer has made life-study of
the subject and his deductions are en-
titled to consideration, Notwithstanding
the fact that they oppose the accepted
theories of a majority of Investigators.
Mr.. Bohlin's article will be found inter
esting to all who take an interest in the
subject

Railway Firemen, is well known. Z.
II. Morrissey, who is equally prominent
in the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, is about to make tour Of the an
thracite region. big mass meeting of
trainmen has been called for Sunday
next at Kingston.
The number of ef1igies strung on tele-
graph wires and poles in pretty nearly
every part of Wilkesbarre district were
so great as to constitute n nuisance and
they have been taken down by orders of
the police. They are not countenanced
by the mine workers officials, and it is
probable they will be discontinued.
The condition of Charles McCann, the
victim of the Stanton colliery shooting,
remains about the same. Little hope is
entertained for his recovery.
PRESIDENT is INVESTIGATING.
President Roosevelt is said to be care
fully watching the coal strike. That
official Washington will take some
recognition OF the situation now seems
certain. 1t is not improbable that the
case may in some form go up to the
attorney general, as there is already
ample evidence, taken by officials of the
government, to show that a combina-
ton Of the roads handling anthracite
coal exists for the purpose of controlling
the price and output
That this combination, formed and
operating in violation of tho Sherman
antitrust law and the interstate com
merce law, is in a measure responsible
for the present strike there is no doubt,
and 1t is in this connection that some
official action may be taken pending
toward forcing settlement.
The question is asked here why
should great industries be threatened
with paralysis, why should the public
be made to suffer just because two
powerful railroads see fit to stop the
whole system of arbitration leading to
settlement? These roads are the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western and
the Delaware and Hudson, and because
they have refused to listen to arbitra-
tion the other operators have held out,
pleading as an excuse lack of unity.
AS the president and others in official
life pursue their Investigation it becomes
more and more apparent that the under
lying causes Of the present farreaching
difficulty are not immediate, but go back
to this com bination of coal mining rail-
roads.
Snch combination was found to
exist, both by the committee of congress
as far back as 1892 and the Industrial
conclusion OF the congressional commit
tee that the railroad companies were
parties to combination to control the
output and fix the price of hard coal and
that, moreover, the combination en-
braced all the roads connecting the
anthracite coal fields with tidewater.
That such a combination, harmful in
its effect on the consumer, has also
brought about a situation leading up
to the present strike is now beginning
to dawn on government officials, and it
may not be found impossible to reach
the operators, through the Department
of Justice, for violations OF the common
law in general, and the coal roads in
particular.

THE GENERAL SITUATION.

The opening OF the fifth week Of the
anthracite strike fnds the tie-up still
complete, so far as the production OF
coal is concerned, while the situation as
regards the engineers, fremen and
pumpmen scores another victory
for the United Mine Workers, as
fully 5000 of those employees have re-
ponded to the call that went into effect
on Monday last. 1t is estimated that
less than 2 per cent are now working,
and these are found mainly in Pittston,
North Scranton and in the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western collieres.
The interest that the railroad men are
taking in the fight is bothering the coal
carrying roads. The position of Grand

MELVILLE'S OPINION.
Rear Admiral Says Miners Are Victims
of Idle AeitatOrs.

Rear Admiral George w. Melville, in
an interview with the Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Record,
gives his opinion on the miners strike
in yesterdays issue. Admiral Melville
was in town last week and delivered the
Founders Day address at the NJ. & NJ.
Institute closing exercises. While in
this vicinity he apparently tried to in
form himself on conditions as they ex-
ist, and how well he failed is shown in
his sentiments as expressed to the
Record representative. Comment in
the Tribune on his opinions would be
superfuous, as perusal Of the follow
ing statements from the admiral will
show:
"A state of armed neutrality prevails
in the region of Pennsylvania affected
by the coal strike. | am sorry to say
that my sympathy is with the mine own
ers. From appearance OF things it look
ed like 80 per cent of the miners have
struck without cause and against their
will.
The 90 per cent of miners who are
out were induced to strike by few idle
agitators and others. 1t seemed to me
as though they were making war on the
women and children OF the coal regions
by preventing their natural protectors
from earning the necessities Of life.
The worst feature of the strike ap-
peared to be the stopping of the en-
gineers and pumpmen who kept the
mines clear of water. Tho flooding of
the mines is destruction OF property
for which the state of Pennsylvania
will eventually be obliged to pay, as
there are several laws on that question.
1.-The flooding of the mines is also a
positive injury to the miners themselves
because the timbers will become satur-
ated with moisture, making the work
more dangerous and the mines Shiny
and filthy and the breeding place of
disease. When the miners resume
work, therefore, they will find them
selves almost in death trap.
my sympathy is always with tho
working man because / am working
man myself, but there is a right and
wrong in all things and to my mind the
striker in this case is in the wrong. We
drove from mining village to mining
village and 1 was requested to observe
the buildings In which the mine en-
ployes live. l found the houses greatly
superior to the tenement houses of New
York and Boston. The majority of
the houses were two stories high most
of them had lace curtains at the wind
ows.
"There was another class OF houses,
occupied by the laborers of the mines
and these were poorer, but still very
habitable, and as in the case of the
houses rented to the miners, had veget-
able gardens in front and rear These
were all company houses"

The SHERIFF
VISITS TOWN
Called at Freeland Early
This Morning.
Found Several Hundred Men
on Picket Duty But No
Trace of Disorder--Kud-
lick Routed by Women.

Sheriff A. Ii. Jacobs, of Hazleton,
hour this morning to make a personal
investigation of conditions in and around
this town. He was cordially welcomed
by the several hundred men who were
on picket duty between Freeand and
Drifton. He circulated freely among
the miners and satisfied himself that the
law was in no wise being violated here.
The sheriff was alone, as his conf
dence in the miners intentions to do
right and harm no one was such that he
knew he would not require force to
aid him In obtaining the information he
desired
At TAO o'clock he boarded the Lehigh
Valley train for Wilkesbarre, after OK
pressing himself well pleased with the
order maintained by the strikers in the
lower end Of the county.
Superintendent Edgar Kudlick, of
Drifton, whose fertile brain is busy de-
vising new methods to aggravate the
miners, drove up from his office this
morning with one of his foremen. His
object was to secure the names of the
men who are on picket duty.
He was met by band of Slavish
women, before whom he attempted to
deliver an address. His audience, how
ever, was in no mood to listen to the
Drifton orator, and his voice was drown
ed in the rapid-fre fusilade of words
which the women emitted.
Half a dozen times the superintendent
tried to tell his story, but the Amazon
band would have none of it, and with
disgust and chagrin clearly showing on
every feature he turned his vehicle
around and drove to Drifton, leaving the
women undisputed victors of the wordy
war which be began.
On his way homeward Kudlich met
several groups of miners along the road.
In his rage he so far forgot himself that
he cursed and blasphemed the men and
acted like a maniac. Those who wit
messed Kudlich's exhibition this morn
ing alege that the superintendent has
gone hopelessly insane.
The effigy of the "scab" which was
hung over South Centre street late
Thursday night was missing this morn
ing. 1t disappeared as quietly as it
appeared.
A meeting attended by a majority of
the employees of the d. S. & S. Railroad
was held yesterday afternoon at the
Municipal hail. The railroaders dis
cussed the question of hauling coal and
iron officers and special police from one
colliery to another. They decided to
notify Superintendent L. c. Smith that
they would not engage in this work
during the present strike, and resolu-
tons to that effect were drawn up and
unanimously passed.

If You Have Pain In Your Back
Do Not Be Deceived You Have
Kidney Trouble, and You
Do Not Need a Physician
to Tell You So.

Let US give you a piece of advice:
sign of kidney disease; surer sign is
the condition Of your urine. If you
have pain in the back then look to the
condition of your urine. 1t is easily
done. Take glass tumbler and fill it
with urine, after it has stood "a hours;
II it has Il sediment, ii it is milky or
cloudy, If it is pale or discolored, stringy
or ropy, your kidneys and bladder are
in dangerous condition and need i'm
mediate attention, or the consequences
may prove fatal.
