New County Bill Again.

An effort will be made in the present
legislature to pass bill creating new
county out Of the lower end of Luzerne
and parts of Schuylkil and Carbon
counties. The bill will be introduced
by representative Ferry, and will pro-
vide for the creation of new county
out OF the same territory as was includ-
ed In the bills previously presented to
the legislature, one of which passed
both branches, but was ultimately
killed by the veto of Governor Hastings
Mr.. Ferry was fortunate enough to be
placed on the committee on new coun-
ties and townships and does not expect
that he will experience much difficulty
in having the measure fayorably recon-
mended to the house.

Thousands for Charity.

The report OF the State Board OF
Charities on the amount of state aid
asked by each institution in the state,
and the amount recommended by the
board will soon be submitted to the
legislature. 1t would appear that the
large increase 10 the revenues of the
state and the enormous surplus in the
general fund OF the state treasury
caused an astonishing demand for cash
from institutions that are new enjoying
state aid, and the board made some
heavy cuts in the sums asked, in many
instances over two. thirds.
The following are the sums asked aud
the amounts recommended by the board
for the years 1903 and 1904 for Luzerne
county institutions. The first figures
are the amounts asked and the second
the amounts that the Board OF Charities
recommends shall be granted:
Miners hospital, Hazeton, $50, 600;
s5O,o0O
City hospital, Wlkesbarre, 800, ,OOO

Pittston hospital, Plttston, SIC, ,oOo

The cases of Markle, Pardee, Coke

MINE WORKERS
RAISE SALARIES
National Convention In
creases Pay Of Officers.
President toReceiveS3, 900
a Year, Secretary S2.5OO
and Treasurer the Same.
Others Also Advanced.

The promised contention over an in
creased salary for the officers OF the
United Mine Workers did not materalize
and the following amounts have been
voted:
John Mitchell, president, to SO. 900.
w. b. Wilson, secretary-treasurer, to
Sc. 500.
j. T. Lewis, vice president, to So, 500.
Members Of national executive board
and auditing committee. to 81 per day
S. NJ. Sexton, editor OF the Journal, to
ST., 500.
President Mitchell and Secretary Will
son had opposed such move, but they
were finally made to see how futile
would be any such antagonism. Nit
cheil's salary was l,sO0 a year and ex-
penses, while Wilson received $500.
The miners were long making up their
minds on figures, but some OF the more
radical wanted s., 900 as salary for the
president and SO 900 for the secretary.
cit is absurd" said one of the district
presidents, that the president of the
largest union organization in America,
that has the leadership of over 800, 900
laborers who have over 81 900, 600 in
their treasury-a president that has
won the greatest fight that labor has
had-should be receiving less than S5 a
day, and that the secretary treasurer,
who handles over So 900, 900 year, gets
less than 81 day. Talk about cheap
labor; it's wonder the operators don't
show us up.
"Chief Arthur, Of the Locomotive En-
gineers, gets S5, 900 a year; Grand Mas
ter John Hannihan, of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive 'Firemen, gets s5 900; p.
II. Morrisey, of the Brotherhood of
Trainmen, gets SIS, 600, and E. E. Clark
of the Order of Railway Conductors, gets
$1,000.
"All of these organizations are small
compared with the Mine Workers. Their
secretaries get $500 and $4,000 and
their treasurers get as much more. Even
their editors get So 500 and their chief
clerks get about SO, 900 Samuel Comp
ers, Of the American Federation of
Labor, has had his salary increased to
$4,000 and Secretary Morrison gets
$4,000.
"Simon Burns, of the Window Glass
Workers, gets S5, 900, and Denis Hayes,
Of the Bottlemakers, gets a great deal
more than Mitchell. President Huber,
Of the Carpenters and Joiuers, and Sec
retary- Treasurer Frank Duffy get So 900
year. President Duncan, of the Gran
ite Cutters, draws So. 500 year, and
President Lynch, of the Typographical
Union, gets 81, 800.
The mine workers are peculiar. They
come up every year demanding an in
crease Of wages for the men In the
mines, but when you talk to them about
an advance for the men that get the ad-
vance for them they go up in the air
and say they are getting fortune al
rerdy. They forget that the officers of
an organization always have many items
OF expense that they cannot put in their
expense accounts"

SUGGESTIONS THAT MAY
INTEREST YOU

The pith and point of every bust
ness is to sell goods, but the sell
ing must be right. Every article
shown you must bear the stamp of
honest value. Every dollar that
you spend in this store must be
given its fullest purchasing power;
else we are false to our trust.
We are keenly alive to all this,
and the confidence which you have
shown and are showing in our
progressive business methods will
never be abused with our sanction.
If it is at any time so abused we
want to know it.
Compare our goods with any
other and you will find the quail
ties fully up to your expectations,
the prices an agreeable surprise.
ust now we have some mid
winter bargains in all our depart
ments and we invite you to call
and share in them.
In Hats, Caps, Shoes, Rubbers,
Underwear and Neckwear we can
give you some very fine selections.
If you are not already supplied we
can save you money in the above
lines and give you quality at the
same time.

FOURTH RESIGNATION SENT IN
BRITISH CABINET Is LOSING
SOME OF ITS MINISTER'S.
Lord Balfour, Secretary of Scotland,
the Last Observation-Disclosures
Accepted and New Appointments
Made-Austin Chamberlain Takes
Portfolio of Exchequer.

London, Sept. 21.-Lord Balfour of
burleigh, secretary for. Scotland, and
Arthur Ralph douglass Elliott, finan-
cial secretary of the treasury, have re-
signed and their designations have
been accepted by the king. Mr.. Elliott
was not in the cabinet.
These two designations make to-
tai of four vacant cabinet posts and one
secretaryship at Mr.. Balfour's disposal
With the resignation Of Lord Bal
four and Financial Secretary Elliott,
both strong free traders, it is under
stood that the ministerial designations
are completed, and apparently the duke
Of Devonshire has decided to remain
in the cabinet. 1t is practically GER
tain that Austen Chamberlain, Lord
Miner and Mr.. Brodrick will take the
exchequer, colonies and India, porto
| lios respectively, and the only sur
prise in the new appointments is llAely
to be the nomination of a strong man
to the war Office to determine how fal
the recommendations of the South AT
RIGA war commission can be carried
Home Secretary Akers-Douglas startet
for Balmoral tonight and he will prob
ably be involved in the reconstruction

arrangements to send everything
exhibited at Colville to Spokane and
put it up in the Exposition building
Chelan county is also having a fail

send large exhibit to Spokane. These
with the other district and county
exhibits, will make fine showing this

Railroad Fares Reduced.

All the railroads which center in
Spokane have given reduced rates of
fare and one-third for the Spokane
Interstate Fair, which is to be held
in that city from October 9Th to 18th.
The time limit e days. is the best
which the railroads have ever given
and will enable thousands of people
to take in the big fair and the evening
street carnival this year.
These rates are good on all the O.
R. & N. lines, including the Occur
d'Alene branch and the branches in
the Palouse country, and on the main
lines within a distance Of $50 miles
of Spokane. On the Northern Pacific
the rates are good on all the branches
which run into Spokane and to al
points within $50 miles on the mair
line. On the Great Northern the same
rates are good for the same distance
On the Spokane Falls & Northern, H
A. Jackson, Passenger Agent of the
road, has given even more of a re
duction. He makes rate of fart
and one-fifth to all points on that lint
and on all it's branches, good through
out the fair. These rates given b!
the different roads are good to go tt
Spokane any date from the first da.
of the fair to the last day and ar
good returning any day up to the da.
after the close of the fair.
