Travellers Protective Association.

There was well-attended meeting of
Post F of the Travellers Protective AS
soc;at;on at the rooms of the Business
Mems league last night. Mr.. Beckwith,
Of petersburg, the president of the State
Sranch If the association, paid fratern al
visit 10 Post f. The local post now has
nearly 100 members, and is increasing
its membership rapidly. Through the
efforts of the association every railroad
in the South, except the Southern hail,
way, has given the commercial travellers
a rate of , cents per mile, with an inter
changeable mileage book, and there are III,
reasons to believe that the Southern Will
shortly grant the same concessions.

School Board.

At the monthly meeting last night OF
the City School Board ten of the twelve
members and the superintendent we're
present Mr.. sweeney presided.
Two bills for supplies were ordered to
be paid. ~
The superintendent reported that all
the schools were getting along well, and
that no mistake had been made in the
election of Laura Dorsey as teacher IN
HallowelI school. He stated that there
had been slight falling off in the at
tendance during the past mon tn on &C.
count of the weather.
Mr.. Marbury presented apetition from
Misses Wilson, Webster, Sisson,
Broadus, Grigg, Nevett and Summers
asking. on account of their long services
as teachers in the schools, ranging from
ffteen.to twenty years, that they be al
lowed an increase in their salaries.
Can't. Bryant said he thought all the
members would be willing to make the
advance in salaries if the board had the
money; he moved that the matter be
referred to the finance committee for a
special report.
The superintendent and Mr.. Sweeney
favored the increase.
Mr.. Yates thought the ladies might
be more specific in their request and
name the sum they wanted; he also
suggested that no changes could be made
in salaries during the session.
Mr.. Marbury said the ladies had
named $40 a month additional to their
present salaries.
Mr.. Thomson asked if there were not
other teachers worthy of consideration
if the salaries of seven were to be in
creased.
Mr.. Bryant said if the board was
ready to act at once he would withdraw
his motion to refer, which he did.
Mr.. Marbury moved to increase the
salaries of the ladies named 50 per
month in recognition of their long SER
vices.
Mr.. Came moved to amend by adding
Mrs. Mcdaniel, principal of Lee school,
to the list.
Mr.. Carne's amendment was accepted,
and Mr.. Marbury's motion to increase
the salaries of those named was adopted.

Good Advertising.

An experienced advertiser afiirms that
the drawing power" of an advertisement
should increase rather than diminish
that a decline in the results indicates
that something is wrong with the adj
vertisement This is reasonable in view
of the fact that good advertising creates
business, and that the better acquainted
with it the people become the more
business it should bring.

A Remarkable Case.

One of the most remarkable cases Of cold,
deep-seated on the lungs, causing pneumonia,
is that of Mrs. Gertrude f. Fenner, Marion,
Ind, who was entirely cured by the use OF
One Minute Cough Cure. She says: ''The
coughing and straining so weakened me that
ran down in weight from 148 to 92 pounds.
| tried number of remedies to no avail until
| used One Minute Cough Cure. Four bottles
Of this wonderful remedy cured me entirely
of the cough, strengthened my lungs and re.
stored me to my normal weight, health and
strength" +. s. Leadbeater * Sons.

hoading cents coined in 1902, and are

GE0.L. MATCHANO.K
Senate Confirms His Appointment as
Surveyor General of Logs
T., and Lumber.
L. H. Stauf, Who Made Charges
Against Matchan, Says He
Isn't Through.

The appointment of George l.. Matchan
rs surveyor general of logs and lumber
for the Minneapolis district was con-
firmed this morning by the senate The
special committee to consider the charges
reported with a simple recommendation
that the appointment be confirmed The
report was agreed to and on motion of
Senator E. e. Smith the appointment was
confirmed by viva voce vote. No OBJ
Jection was made.
Shortly afterward L. H. Stauf Of Lake
City, who has been pushing the charges
against Matchan, arrived and let loose the
Walls Of his wrath on the committee, He
said: -
1.-The thing is not finished; it Is only lust
begun You can't turn me down without
hearing p -. +. =
He protested holly against the swift &C
ton Of the committee and said it had
only allowed him to outline the charges
and had given him no consideration what
ever. He prepared q petition which he
says he will present to the senate to-
morrow, demanding a public hearing fol
his charges. The petition asserts that
Petitioner is forced to make this request
through a sense of public duty and by
reason of the fact that the committee ap.
pointed by your honorable body to heal
these charges unreasonably restricted the
scope of the inquiry.'' ct
1t proceeds in most violent terms to de.
nounce Matchan as a man unfit to holt
public office
The members Of the special committe,
explain that they found all the charge!
had been considered by the governor be
fore making the appointment, and tina
they did not consider the charges sus
rs, tanned by the facts.

building bills, it would be in better lines.
Senator Moody is bearing the brunt of
the Insurance fight and it is fast becom-
ing intensified. The disposition Of the
legislature is to take any action which
will relieve the rate situation and many
are inclined to favor the Moody bills be-
cause the companies oppose them. The
more conservative are still looking for
the proper means, fearing that the plans
proposed will not give relief Commits
sloner Shober does not expect immediate
relief. but holds that the Moody Gerhart
bills are in the way of better conditions
and will In the long run affect rates ad-
lyantageously. @s:%.-.=
Leadership Not Settled.
With the. session almost half over it
cannot be said that any member has de-
veloped a position of acknowledged lead
ersh1p, and hcnors are as evenly divided
as upon the first day. Longstaff by rea
son OF quick perception and speedy ac-
ton. as much as for his position at the
mead at the committee, is looked to in
matters relating to appropriations and
the responsibilities of this position have
prevented him from actively identifying
himself with other lines of legislation
Rogde. as chairman Of the judiciary is
lmpressing his ability and sound judgment
on the house., as is Hayes of the Black
Kills corner, and when either speak the,
are accorded earnest attention. Price Of
fankton maintains the position he has
won In previous sessions as a leader OF
the conservative element
In the senate Lawson, Dillon Moody an6
McDougall areEmost frequently heard. I,
is strong body and there are few who
could not properly aspire to leadership
Boyland and Stoddard are farmer sen
ators who are level headed and whose
advice is sought and followed. They are
| conservative and can express themselve.
| clearly and forctbly.

yor as liberal an appropriation as the

more than 100 years old, and for sixty

was purchased by Mr.. Ryan's father thir-

ship supervisors, by their chairman and
secretary, issued a town order to the
Fleming Manufacturing company for a
road-grading machine, and the order was
negotiated at the bank. The town re-
fused to pay the order, it being alleged
that it was issued without authority of
the board, and the bank sued and recov-
cred judgment. The case has been ap-
pealed by the town board.
1t is probable that an effort will be
made the early part Of the week to bring
back the senate bill for the repeal Of the
law for the contract engrossment and en-
rollment of bills and re-refer to the SEN
ate committee again. It has been argued
with much effect that this law has been
and will be the means of saving to the
state and that the passage of the repeal
bill is before a fair test Of the matter has
been had.

COAL in N. Y.
IS $3.50 A TON
The Bituminous Combine Has It's
Back Broken by So to
$3.50 Coal.
The. Low Prices Are Now Pretty
Certain to Continue Until
Summer.

New York, Feb. ALI over town coal
will be sold to-day for $3.50 ton. This
is not theoretical price but anthracite
can actually be obtained at that figure
1t is expected that this rate will hold
without much change until summer as II
is generally conceded to be the legitimate
market price.
The high price for soft coal has had It's
back hopelessly broken and the bitumin-
Gus product is selling at anywhere from
81 to $3.50 a ton. This slump effectually
disposes Of a certain bituminous combine
which was forming to maintain the tor
price for the coming year in the neigh
borhood of 81.
