increase the wages Of the workers
and are as a direct consequence a
benefit to not only its members, but
to the whole community as well.
We unhesitatingly assert that trade
unions are greater benefit to our
country, to trade and commerce than
any other institution now in exist
ence. In addition to the claims in
this regard by all well informed men
of labor and students of social and
economic questions, let US quote no
less an authority than the honorable
secretary of the U. s. treasury, Mr..
Shaw, who said in a speech recently
delivered in Chicago, that there was
no danger Of an industrial and COM
mercial depression as long as the
masses were consuming at the rate
we are at present. In other words,
he repeats that which we have al
ways said, that the prosperity of our
country depends on the earning ca
pacity of the masses instead of upon
the wealth of few. This is plain
proposition, the more the masses
earn, the more they can consume and
the more they consume, the better it
is for all concerned.
Give workman $1.00 per day and
the rest he earns to the employer ana
he can only spend $1.00, while on the
other hand give him $500 per day and
he will have $500 to spend each day,
which means that the man in business
with something to sell is just $500
better off under the trade union plan
and the worker and family live better
lives. The only way to increas e
wages and thus make the workers
better consumers is through the agen-
cy of trade unions.
The wealth Of the world is distrib-
uted through the wage system; every
increase in wages, be it small or
large, increases the power Of the
masses to consume more rapidly the
products of the factory, mine and
farm. A Unionist.

EDDYVILLE ETCHINGS.
Items Of Interest chronicled by the
Tribune.

A fine girl baby arrived at the
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Dick Riggs on
Wednesday night, and Dick is pardon
ably proud of the event.
Arthur Elliott fell from the roof Of
John Ryan's house wednesday while
working on the spouting. He was
severely bruised but no serious inju-
ries resulted.
e. d. Hoffman, Of Baltimore, James
Ward and Charles Slogue are looking
over the desirable coal land of this
section with the purpose of opening a
large mine.
Electrician Torrey has now started
the morning light service for the com
ing winter and he will be blessed by
the many who now depend upon him
for their. morning glim.
The council met Wednesday and
let the contract for filing the large
hole washed out of North Fourth
street between the Bickford and the
Biihler residence. J. Logue received
the contract at price Of 1875.
The Junior Endeavors of the Chris
tian church perpertated a genuine
surprise on the older members Of the
congregation last week by raising a
fund and having the building wired
for electric lights. Three large clus-
tiers Of incandescent lamps were put
in and the church presents a bright
and handsome appearance with it's
much needed improvement.
The city authorities are pardonably
proud of the wonderful growth Of ce-
ment sidewalks during the past sea-
son and say that if the walks now
contemplated are finished before cold
weather, that there will be only
twenty-eight lots in the entire town
that will still have board walks. This
is wonderful showing for town or
Eddyville's size and speaks volumes
for the progressiveness of it's citizens.

Letter to Mr.. w. Morris,

Dear Sir: How much'gold do you
sell In the course Of year? and how
much pewter? howSmany IS karat
watches? how many filed cases?
No matter. ia man may wear gold
looking watch, 'or gold; it's nobody's
business. The money he didn't pay
you, he may have in the bank. Some
women may wear pewter; and paste
may be as good as diamond.
Not so with paint. Poor paint let's
property go to waste. Lead and oil is
good for three years; but that lie the
end of it's Wilderness.
Zinc is as good for six years as lead
for three.

MIGRATORY BIRDS.

From Mature Snap Shots" in the
Knoxville Journal: These are the
days when the various species and
varieties of migratory birds are max
ing hasty preparations for their trip
to the south. The orioles, the wrens,
several varieties of the fiy-catchers,
the cuckoos and other species which
do not arrive until late in the spring,
have already taken their flight. The
cold spell which prevailed all over
the northwestern and central states
ten days ago had the effect Of causing
a premature exodus of the feathered
songsters. The harder species and
varieties, such as the blue birds, the
towhee buntings, the yellow-breasted
chat and the phoebe birds are still
with us, as are also a few specimens
of the black-throated buntings. They
arrive in this section before the
ground is entirely thawed out in the
spring and do not appear to be at all
alarmed when the weather man hangs
out the frost sign. Most of the mi
gratory birds travel at night and fly
so near the ground that they become
badly bewildered in flying over towns
and cities Illuminated by electric and
other artificial lights. The fore part
of last week, when frost and ice were
threatened for sixty hours in success
sion, and the nights were as cold and
damp as those of late October, the
alarmed chirpings of lost birds could
be heard from early in the evening
until daylight. The birds that had
thus become bewildered in their
flight over the town were not our
summer visitors-they were those
that had gone to British America
during the nesting season and had
been driven out by freezing weather.
Not single familiar chirp was heard
in the babble which filed the air dur
ing the storm period.
1t has been frequently proven that
birds return to the same breeding
grounds year after year. One Of the
most curious features of these spring
and fall migrations is the remarkable
instinct which guides the little aerial
travellers. Have you ever thought of
this wonderful faculty as exhibited
by humming bird? This little atom
Of flesh and feathers has certain
fiowery nook in Mexico or Central
America where she spends the winter.
When she knows that the frost king
has fed and the trees are in leaf and
bloom she returns to the north and
the selfsame tree where her young
were reared the year before, frequent
ly building her nest on the very limb
used the previous season. That all
migratory birds are possessed Of this
marvellous faculty is well known to
ormithologists and has been proven
time and again by such authorities
as Audubon, Wilson, Gentry and
Coues.

HINTS TO WAGE WORKERS.

Editor Herald:-1t is hardly neces-
sary for me to say even to those who
are not members Of some labor organ
ization that the time has long since
gone by when the workers can main
tain even the present standard Of life
to say nothing OF their desires for i'm
proved conditions except by uniting
our interests with that of our fellow
workers and jointly, in peaceable,
orderly way and through our unions
obtain our share Of the wealth we Gre
ate. This is an era OF great things
commercially, as well as industrially;
great factories have taken the place
Of the old-time small shop and men
and women workers have lost their
individuality in these great hives of
industry.
The worker who attempts to stand
alone in this age of combinations IS
hopelessly lost and of 10 account in
fixing the hours and wages to be
worked and paid. Hence we must
turn to our unions and apply the sim
pie rule Of collective bargaining.
Under the union plan we go to the
employer through the authorized COM
mittee Of the union and thus unitedly
obtain that which It is impossible to
achieve while standing alone. Trade
unions shorten the hours Of labor ana

A GREAT RECORD.
Hard to Duplicate it in Oskaloosa.

Scores of representative citizens
of Oskaloosa are testifying on the
following subject, Such-a record of
local endorsement is unequalled In
modern times. This public statement
made by a citizen is but one of the

hundreds that will follow. Read it:
Mrs. John Loos, of seventhIavenue

keenly with pain in the small of her
back and was at times wholly unfit

of Doan's Kidney Pills and got them
at Blakeslee Bros. drug store. After
taking them a short time she COM
menced to feel better and they.fnally
set her kidneys to working properly.
and with this change came.the grad

removal Of the backache. also used

George Lynch, most daring

DOMAIN hills to get news, says that ac-
cording to the most available Stats
tics, 10000 men, women and children
have fallen victims to fire and sword
In the Balkans during the past three
months, and there is every indication
that the number win be doubled in a

Here is one that will convince
you: Take the number of your liv'
ing brothers, double the amount, and
to it add three, multiply by five, add
to it the number of living sisters,
multiply the result by ten and add
the number of deaths of brothers and
sisters and subtract $50 from the re-
suit. The right figure will be the
number of deaths, the middle will be
the number of living sisters, and the
left will show the number of living
brothers. Try it and see.
