GLOOMY PROSPECTS.
Illinois and Iowa Operators and
Miners Can't Agree.
1t is Probable That the Mine Owners
in Both States Will Close Down
the Mines Until the Mat
ter is Settled.

Springfield, ILL.,, March 31.-The pros,
pect for the closing of all the coal
mines in Illinois seemed grave. We'd
nesday night The joint scale COM
mittee report Wednesday afternoon to
the joint state convention that all the
important differentials in the state
had been adjusted with the exception
of the first, or northern third vein. dis
trict of Illinois, and the new mines in
Saline and Franklin counties. A mo-
ton to, leave the settlement to the OPP
orators and miners of the district af-
fected was defeated.
The miners Of the northern district
demand that the old rate of 80 cents
for straight and the third vein mines
and of 81 cents for Wilmington, in
Guiding the long wall mines at Cardiff
and the Bloomington thin vein, be re-
tanned; while the operators insist that
the three cent reduction, provided for
by the Indianapolis agreement, be en-
forced
The operators Wednesday night
stated that if the miners would not
agree to the reduction which the ma
tional organization of miners by Il
popular vote had voted to accept, it
was very probable they would close
down their mines at midnight Thurs
day night when the old scale ceased
to be of effect
Des Moines, Ia, March 31.-A COM
mittee of five miners and five opera
tors, appointed by the joint scale COM
mittee, reported to the joint confer
ence Wednesday that the scale com,
mittee can not agree, also explaining
the points of difference. The joint
conference is.-deliberating on the re.
port. Leading operators say there can
be no other alternative now than to
shut down the mines throughout Iowa
Until within few days ago the only
difference between the miners and OPP
orators was the question of wages in
districts No and 4, the miners con-
tending for a higher scale than the
operators would agree to pay Now
t1e miners demand a decrease in the
price of powder and this has served
to further augment the difficulty.
The subcommittee appointed by the
Iowa miners to consider the strike sit
uatiOn Wednesday night agreed to dis
agree and so reported Thursday morn
ing. The present contract with the
operators expires Thursday, and with
no other agreement, a general shutting
down is inevitable. There seems to be
enc chance in hundred that the con.
ference will again take up the ques-
ton and come to an agreement. There
are about a million tons of coal in
storage, while the railroads have a
considerable supply. The miners have
from $4,000 to $4,000 in their strike
fund and enough to last about six
weeks Thirteen thousand five hun
dred miners will go out.

A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S. OAK, March 2S.-Quite a
sensation has been created here by the
publication of the story of G.. w. Gray,
who after a special treatment for three
months was PROSTATE and helpless and
given up TO die with Bright's Disease.
Bright's Disease has always been consid-
cred incuIaDle, but evidently from the
story told by Mr.. Gray, there is a remedy
which will cure it, even in the most adj
vanced stages. This is what he says:
Il was helpless as a little babe. My
wife and l searched everything and read
everything we could find about Bright's
Disease, hoping that l would be able to
lind a remedy After many failures my
wife insisted that l should try Dodd's
Kidney Pills. l praise God for the day
when [ decided to do so, for this remedy
met every phase of my case and in a
short time / was able to get out of bed,
and after q few weeks treatment | was a
strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved my life
A remedy that will cure Bright's Disease
will cure any lesser Kidney Disease.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the
most wonderful discovery which modern
medical research has given to the world.

HADN'T THOUGHT OF THAT.
There Were Obstacles to the Free
Movement Of Doors That
Opened Outward.

There was a man who had read that it
was safer to make the doors of all houses
open outward instead of inward, says the
Chicago Tribune
He remembered it, and when he built a
house of his own he had all the outer
doors hung in accordance with that idea.
One bright morning in March he moved
into his new home.
Late in the evening of the same day 1t
began to snow, and it kept on showing un-
til the ground was covered foot deep.
Then the wind blew and piled the snow
in drifts
After which it began to rain.
The rain later turned to sleet and the
mercury sank 20 degrees.
And the next morning the neighbors
were astonished beyond measure at the
sight of frenzied man with his head thrust
out of a second story front window of that
house, gesticulating wildly to boy on the
sidewalk and begging him for heaven s
sake to go and call the fire department
and have the ice and snow blasted away
from his doors so he could open them and
get out OF the house!

Washington, March 3L-President
Roosevelt and Representative Hull,
chairman of the military affairs COM
mittee of the house, Wednesday dis
cussed a bill which provides a higher
rank for the army chaplain in WHICH
the president is Interested 1t is held
that insufficient provision is not made
in the present law for rewarding army
chaplains for meritorious services.
During the Spanish-American war sew
eral chaplains were recommended for
gallantry, but it was impossible to
give them the reward. The war de-
partment favors legislation to increase
the rank ana pay Of chaplains.

Measure Reported to the Senate
by the Committee.

the bill as passed the house except
for an emergency measure Incorporate
ed in the bill The house bill pro-
vides for the rental of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad site in New York city for
post Office purposes, but the senate

to the bill are the following: The SAL
aries of rural free delivery carriers
are fixed at 1920 a year and the car

Odicals so longsas this occupation does

of their duties 1t is stipulated, how
ever, that the carriers shall not dis
criminate against any newspaper,
which desires to avail itself of tho
privilege of employing them. Senator
Clay's~ amendment increasing the sal.
airy of the purchasing agent for the
post office department to $4,000 and re-
quiring that all supplies must be
bought by competitive bids, the con-
tracts to be given to the lowest bid
ders and that a schedule of The bids
must be sent to congress annually,
was adopted.
The committee adopted an amend
ment for the retransfer of tie free de-
livery in cities to the first assistant
postmaster generals division, instead
of leaving it with the fourth assistant
The senate committee provides for the
purchase or rental of cancellation ma
chimes instead of purchase alone, as
provided by the house bill.

tween San Francisco and Tabita. was
restored to the bill. This provision

the nature Of a subsidy The senate
