,TwOuId spoil This story to Tell il in the
Headlines.
To use an eighteenth century phrase,
this is an "O'er true tale" Having hap
pened in a ANAL Virginia town in the
winter of 1902, it is a story very much of
the present. Up to a short time ago Mrs.
John Is Harmon, of Mella Station, Va,
had n personal knowledge of the rare
curative properties of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Last January" she
says, "my baby took dreadful cold and
at one time feared she would have pneu-
monia, but one Of my neighbors told me
how this remedy had cured her Ii tie boy
and began giving it to my baby at once
and it soon cured her. ! heartily thank
the manufacturers Of Cham mberlain's
Cough Remedy for placing 80 great cure
within my reach. cannot recommend
it too highly o. say too much in its favor.

Miners Forbidden to Talk.

Charleston, w. ", March 9.-The
federal authorities have made the re
markable ruling that the prisoners ar.
rested the day of the Stamford City
battle are not to be allowed to talk
to newspaper reporters. The ruling is
additionally remarkable because of the
fact that the men who shot down theil
companions are allowed to give theil

is fast supporting the facts brought
out at the coroners verdict, and the

THE ballot bill introduced as Repub-
lican party measure removes the oljec-
tions urged against the present ballotand
at the same time preserves to the voter
the convenience of a party ballot. The
names of candidates appear only onre,
but place is provided in which voter
can make his cross mark for his party
ticket. He can in addition vote separate
ly Tor any candidate, and if such candi-
date is not on the party ticket the group
vote is not invalidsted, but is counted for
all offices except that to which the candi-
date particularly voted for was nominat-
ed. The only way in which voter can
spoil his ballot and make it ineffective is
to cross-mark opposing candidates for the
same office. 1t does not seem possible to
make the ballot any simpler so long as
the official ballot system is retained. If
the legislature now in session adopts this
plan it will have fulfilled its duty in that
particular.

The following circular has been is
sued by the United States Steel cor
poration which explains itself:
"New York, Sept. 80, 19O3.-To the
officers and employees of the United
States Steel corporation and of its
subsidiary companies, who subscribed
for the preferred stock of the cOrpor-
alton pursuant to the circular letter
of December 81, 1902.
'.The finance committee sees no rea-
son to change its.opinion as to thefn-
trinsic value of the preferred stock
subscribed for pursuant to the said cir
cular letter, but of course it recognizes
that the decline in the market or sell
ing price naturally may occasion
anxiety in the minds of the subscri-
bers under the circular.
Accordingly. it deems it proper now
to dispel apprehension of loss by the
following additional offer or guaran-
tee: 5Gs
1.-THE corporation will at any time
during January and February. 1908,
pay to every subscribing officer and
employe who shall have retained this
stock for the full period of five years
and otherwise compiled with the
terms of the circular. 49,. 5Oper share
for the stock, unless the rebates and
benefitsh he shaH1haye been entitled to
under the circular mot including bene-
fits received on account of differences
between interest and dividends which
he will in any event retain) provided
he wishes to sell the stock for that
price at that time. By order of the

decrease for the month as compared
to the shipments for September 1902,
showing falling off of 30S.S21 tons.
Even with this heavy loss in ship

up to October 1, show an increase over
last year of 265, ITO tons.

felt hurt at man who wanted a

Trumpet, because he got more

eff this man was going to get

pounds, for he would get all he
could get at the regular price.
Excellence is what we aim at, not
bulk, and when our friend is struck
by lightning he will find that his
many qualities will appear in this
paper instead of the 5o-cent one. !"
To this the ..Nonpareil man of the
Minneapolis Journal adds the fol-
lowing: A man may take a city
paper without offense, but if at
the same time he refuses to stand
by his home paper, where the edi-
tor is working tor the good of
humanity and living on sawdust,
he is worse than scoundrel and
does not merit a death notice. IF
he doesn't notice the paper, why
should the. paper notice him? We
