Il made that picture; but few weeks
after Five Grows fell off his horse and

the Indians thought that having his pic

The Anti-Christ.

As will be seen, the venerable Holzauzer,
who wrote in 1858, is perfectly clear about
Antemos, who is other than the anti
christ of Christian revelation.
Every interpreter of st. John has fixed
his date, approximately, at the end of the
nineteenth to the beginning of the twenti
eth century.
Nostradamus, though an astrologer pure
and simple. had a glimpse of Antemos.
This Is Michael Nostradamus, q French
specialist of immense reputation through
the centuries, who wrote somewhere about
the year 1870, and whose text is so well
known and accessible that he scarcely
needs introduction. Essentially French, he
naturally dealt much with the fate Of
France. in which l have not space to go
back further than the great revolution,
which upheaval he foretold with wonderful
exactness, placing its beginning in the year
1892.
Beginning this year." runs the astrologi-
cal prediction of Nostradamus, there will
be the greatest persecution of the Christian
church. Bishops and mobiles shall be de-
stroyed. The fair land of France shall be
desolated by fire and sword These un-
happinesses will cause q renewal OF the
world. which is to last 100 years!'. :

afternoon when Henry Peterson. one
Of the small dealers testified. Accord
ing 10 Peterson he visited the offices Of

and was given a price list. He had
been purchasing his coal from this
company and was instructed, he de-
clared. 10 sell coal at $50 per ton. He
had a number of customers who could
rot afford to pay such prices ana he
sold them coal at cost price without
deducting the cost Of hauling.
AS punishment for doing this, Peter
son declared that the company refused
to sell him any more coal and he has

ONE COAL ROAD
CLOSES ITS CASE
The Matters of Wages and Health
Touched Upon.

Philadelphia. January 13.-H2ving oc-
cupied nearly three days in calling wit
nesses to testify as to The statements
of the opposition made by the anthra-
cite miners. the Delaware and Hudson
company closed its case before the coal
strike commission this afternoon, and
the commissions attention was then
called to the conditions existing in and
about the collieries operated by the
Erie company.
One of the principal witnesses called
before the commission today was
Thomas 7. TORY, coal sales agent of
the Delaware and Hudson company at
New York, who testified that the com
pany he represents is deriving no bene-
fit from the present abnormal price
which the public is paying for it's fuel.
Among other witnesses called by the
Delaware and Hudson We're two ply
sicians who gave testimony tending to
show that the occupation of the mine
worker is not so unhealthful as ply
sicians for the miners have stated A
real estate agent testified to the amount
of property owned by the miners of the
company, and an employe of the Dell-
ware and Hudson who had made an
investigation of the wages paid to the
bituminous miners showed that their
pay was under that received by the ar
thI acite miners.

Washington, January i3.-After con-
sideratlon it has been decided by the
president that Judge Taft shall remain
in the Philippines as civil governor.
The decision was reached only after the
president had discussed the Philippines
question thoroughly with Secretary
Root and the other members of his
cabinet and with Vice Governor l.. l..
Wright who has been in this country
two months.
For several weeks it has been re
gaIded as settled that Governor Taft
would return to this country perhaps
in Il few months to become = Justice
OF the supreme court OF the United
States. President Roosevelt indicated
to Governor Taft in letter dispatched
to the Philippines more than a month
ago that he could have the appointment
to the supreme bench if he desired il.
II was the presidents purpose TO name
Nice-GOvernor Wright as civil COVER
nor of the Philippines.
AS soon as it was learned in the Phil
ippines that Governor Taft was likely
to leave, the islanders cabled protests
"
dent from prominent Filipinos. Even
yesterday the president was in re-
ceipt of a cablegrara from some of the
most important interests in the islands
urging the retention of Judge Taft as
civil governor but the protests received
in 20 manner reflected on Vice Cover
nor Wright for whom the pe pie oi
Manila and OF the islands generally
l.
pointed cut to the president that Gov
erEor Taft was equipped for the posi-
tion and any change at this tine would
be disastrous TO the best interests o.
the archipelago. 1t was maintained
that Judge Taft's Telinquishment of his
post would retard the development Of
the islands fully Eve years.
Governor Taft is known to be, as one
high official expressed it, thoroughly
wrapped up in his work in the Philip
pines"
His ambition has been to round out
his career as q justice of the United
States supreme court but he has be-
come imbued 50 entirely with the spirit
of the great work 10 be accomplished in
the Philippines and is so perfectly in
sympathy with the ideals of the best
Inhabitants that he hesitatsd to re
linquish his post at this time even to
accept the distinguished honor the
president offered to confer upon him.
Today in response to the presidents
letter Offering him the supreme jus
ticoship n CaSlegram was received
from him suggesting with n sincere ap-
probation OF the tender made II him

ONE INDICTMENT FOR
PUBLIC LAND FRAUDS
The Defendant a Former Investigat-
irg OAcer.

Omaha, Neb, January 13.-W. +.
Lesser, formerly a United States land
agent appointed to investigate alleged
fraudulent land entries. was today in
dicted by the federal grand jury on a
charge Of presenting false claims to the
government in the shape of expense ac-
counts. The Indictment, however. is in
connection with the recent investiga-
tion by Colonel MOsby of land entries
by soldiers widows on government
lands which were at once leased to cat
tie owners and fenced in by them.
1t is alleged that soldiers widows
from several states were brought into
Nebraska by an interested party, where
they made homestead entries, being
told that il was not necessary for them
to actually reside on them. These lands
were at once leased or purchased by
cattlemen.

The INDEPENDENTS
CHIEFLY TO BLAME
For the High Prices Charged for
Anthracite.

Washington, January 13.-W. A.
Baum of the J. Maury Dove Coal com
pany was the principal witness before
the senate coal famine investigating
committee today. The company, he
said. is selling coal that cost S1O.94 PEI
ton at $12. In reply to questions from
Senator Stewart as to what forced the
price of coal up, Mr.. Baum said that
the independent dealers had forced the
advance.
1T was a stand and deliver process. -
suggested Senator Stewart. to which
the witness responded that he himself
considered the advance a case Of rob
berry. Mr.. Baum declared that there
had been no collusion between the
Washington dealers and independent
coal operators.
This testimony provoked a state
ment from Mr.. Stewart that he pro-
posed to summon some of the dealers
before the committee.
The man who puts up the prices OF
coal now with the result of causing
the freezing of women and children IS
a shark he said. Il don't know" n
added. that we can punish them by
law. but we viii give them 4 chance -
explain"
During the day Senator Stewart re-
ceiycd an official letter from President
a. j. Cassatt Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company, in which he says
1t is very easy to account for the
shortage in the anthracite coal supply.

the deficiency being made up from
stocks accumulated during the summer.
but this winter began with absolutely
no stock on hand either at the shipping
places or in ccaI yards or in private
cellars, and while more coal has been
shipped since active operations were
resumed than ever before during a like
period. it has not been sufficient to
supply the demand, nor has it been pos
sible to supply enough bituminous to
make up the deficiency in anthracite.
"A much larger amount of bitumin-
GUS coal was moved over all the rail-
roads of the country during the past
year than ever before, the bituminous
tonnage of the Pennsylvania railroad
on its lines east Of Pittsburg being six
millions OF tons greater than for the
previous year. but the increased output
Of bituminOus was nearly all absorbed
by regular demands caused By indus
tries using that fuel, so that there was
little left to supply the deficiency in
anthracite.
while the coal carrying railroads
generally are making every possible
effort to increase the movement, l re-
gret to say ] do not think the present
conditions will improve much for sew
eral months to come. So far as this
company is concerned no effort will b.
spared, and in fact orders have been
in force for some time past to give
preference to coal shipments over all
others both in the supply of cars and
