proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat.

Outbreak in Palestine.
youngstown Vindicator.)


Mayor William j. Foley, of East
Palestine, who was the Democratic
nominee for congress in this district
last fall, has a case on hand that may
result in international complications.
Two young men, who had borne good
regulations, assaulted Chinaman
who runs a laundry in Palestine, and
SO badly was he used up that he is
still in serious condition, The trial
was to have taken place before Mayor
Foley last Friday but 1t was post
poned till tomorrow The Chinese
consul at Pittsburg made call at
Palestine to investigate the case and
will report it to his government. The
United States has been somewhat
easy with China on account Of the
Boxer movement and is now disposed
to receive the indemnity in silver in
stead of gold while other nations in
terested want the last tael, and II is
not believed that China will be too
harsh in demands for redress for bru-
tality that broke out in Palestine from
which place better things might have
been expected.

RAIL way COMPANIES
FILE THEIR ANSWERS
nI.ege Various Reasons for the
Increase In Freight
Rates.

Cleveland, Jan. 13.-The Norwalk &
Western, Michigan Central, Baltimore
& Ohio and the Lake Shore & Michl-
gan Southern railways have filed with
the interstate commerce commission
their answers to the request OF the
commission for statement of reasons
foi the increase in freight. rates,
The Baltimore q Ohio cites the large
increases ia taxation as one reason
and also says it must spend almost
81, 100000 in needed additions TO its
equipment.
The Michigan Central says It's rea.
sons are the great increase In the cost
nf maintaining and operating its road,
consequent upon increase in wages
and additional increases which IL In
likely 10 he compelled TO make in the
near future and the increase In the cost
Of materials and large increase in
taxes. The road says that during the
year ending June 80, 1902. approx
mately $5S6,000 was paid fer rebates
and other commissions allowed from,
the published rates. The Lake Shore
answer Is that the cost OF transpor-
tation must be sufficient for the proper
management and conservation of the
property.

The people OF Bellevue, O., have
found a practical solution of the coal
problem. The shortage yesterday had
reached critical point when the cit
izers, with the full sanction of the
city authorities, swooped down upon a
coal train on the Wheeling and Lake
Erie siding and confscated the whole
cargo. The coal was distributed under
the direction Of the mayor and the
railroad company will be paid at the
rate OF IS ton. There is certainly no
Justification to be found under the law
for an action of this sort, but consid-
ering existing conditions it is not only
excusable but praiseworthy. 1t is hard.
Iy expected that the railroad conf
pany or the owners of the coal Will
care to carry the case into the courts

News ana Comments
The People Foot the Bills.

1t is now charged that the coal trust
IS selling most Of its product to the
Independent operators and permitting
them to market 1t at outrageous
prices. In the District Of Columbia 1t
is charged that before the strike about
one ton in ten was sent by the inde-
pendent operators, but that now the
situation Is reversed and nine-tenths
of the coal is being marketed by the
Independent operators at from S15 to
$50 ton, and as high as $50 ton to
the poor who have to buy 1t by the
bushel.
1t is quite evident that the people,
after all, will foot the bills for the
loses incurred by the coal operators
during the strike,
Such information as this opens the
eyes Of the people to the fact that the
management OF the coal industry real
ly affects them and is some of their
business.
And all this time there has been a
duty of 81 cents ton ON coal. The
people have not only been forced to
go down into their pockets to enrich
the coal trust but have actually sat
idly by and permitted congress to shut
out foreign coal so as to give the coal
trust an absolute monopoly of the
home market. The government has
been used to help the trust rob the
people. That's the real purpose Of a
protective tariff, and 1t operates in
other commodities just as 1t does in
coal.
The tariff is a tax.-Toledo Bee.

five dollars several days ago with a

the man if he would Tot take into con-
sideration the fact that he had de-
voured seven and make the bet seven

man said that he would not bet that

there is no one at present to take

Make Good.

Developments indicate that the
bondsmen of B. L. White. of the firm
of Rex & Hoberdier. of Canton, which
he represented locally. will lose in the
neighborhood oS $500 by his disap-
pearance. says the Salem News.
White was manager of the local
stock brokers' Office, which is owned
by Rex & Hoberdier He went away
last Tuesday and left w. G. Entriken
in charge OF the Office. Whites
whereabouts at present are unknown.
Mr.. Rex, Of Canton, a member Of
the firm, came to this city Saturday
afternoon and met the several traders
Of the Office. There was a long con-
sultation, after which Mr.. Rex said
the margins put up by the traders
would be returned, but no profits
would be paid. Rex promised to send
checks for the amounts to Salem to-
day.
White appears to have made deals
for some time and pocketed the mon
ey or profits without reporting the
trades to the Canton Office. II Is be-
lieved that he took advantage of at
least $500 in this way in the last
three months. He is under bond for
$1,000. a bonding company being his
hackers.
Monday morning one Of the losing
traders telephoned to the Canton OF.
fee and was informed that no losses
would be paid until she bonding COM
pany turned over the amount Of
Whites bond. This may occasion
considerable delay, as the bonding
company will undoubtedly make
every effort to locate White before
paying over any money at all. The
traders are not satisfied with this turn
of affairs.
W;a<r Mr.. Rex was here he prom
ised to pay back all money the trad
ers had put up for margins. Had this
heen done II would have occasioned
no real loss to the traders. However,
there are a number of traders who
had profits coming to them and they
contend that they are entitled to those
profits as much as they are to the re-
turn Of the actual money invested by
them. .k
