 Eggs In Trade For Ton of Coal.
 A Macon county Qll) farmer recent ly traded five dozen fresh eggs for a ton of bituminous coal, establishing a new record for high price of the for mer, says Bloomington dispatch to the Chicago Record-Herald. The eggs were valued at 40 cents a dozen, and the coal was sold for $2 a ton. Both parties to the deal were satisfied. The egg man started into the poultry busi- ness on an extensive scale last spring with 100 hens and bullets. He sold during the summer $160 worth of eggs and chickens and figures up his feed bill at less than $6O, his net profit be- ing $1OO. He finds that the extra at- tention paid to this department of his farm brought in satisfactory returns.

 The case of Miller vs Shea for $1 ,J damages for assault and battery was dismissed by Judge Burpee in the city court, civil side, this afternoon.

 The board of relief, consisting "f. l. A. Spencer, John Healey and M. F.. Perkinson, settled down to business to-day and will be pleased to hear all parties who failed to convince the board of equalization that their prop erty was listed too high. Unless you have filed notice of appeal with the board of equalization you are not en- titled to a hearing before the board of relief. so that people who neglected to appear before the board of equal ization shut off all hope of redress through the board of relief and cer- tainly prejudiced their eases with the committee on abatements and the board of aldermen.

 lust Found.

Salt Lake, Feb 1.-The bodies of be- tween twenty and thirty men who per ished from thirst while attempting to cross the desert between Moapa and Los Vegas, New, have been found within few weeks, according to ad- vices received from the latter place. The men, it is believed, were mostly tramps who attempted to make the long journey on foot without sufficient supplies of food and water to carry them across. Many of the bodies found were without clothing and it is believed that the victims had gone in sane from thirst and had wandered about in a nude condition in search of water. Some of the victims are SUD- posed to have drunk water from 41 cad Mans well, which is located almost in the center of the desert. The water from this well, while temporarily al- leviating thirst, is sure death to those Who dflhk. liAm. d ss

PRINTERS
 ARE OUT. 900 of Them Want a New Scale.
Members of Boston Typothe-

 Reject the Proposition.

Boston, Feb 1.-The strike of the l 9OO book and job printers of Boston, 1 Cambridge and vicinity was begun to- day. The trouble is over a new scale Of wages demanded by the help anu refused by the employers.
 The printers did not all stop work | at once, but q committee of Boston Typographical union No 13, of which the printers are members, visited lne offices of the printers, presented the new wage scale as an ultimatum and as fast as refusal was received the | men went out. The demand of the employees is for an increase over the present rate of 5 cents for every thou | sand ems, $1 a week for hand con- positors and $3 a week for machine operators.
 On Saturday the owners of the printing plants who are members of the Boston Typothetae. rejected as a body the demand of the employees. Yesterday at a meeting. of the Typo graphical union 1t was voted to give the Typothetae another chance to avert 0 strike by having a committee call upon them. The employers, how ever, did not change their attitude and the union representatives met with refusals from the outset of their tour.
 The passage of the union committee from firm to firm was rather slow, but at every point it was reported re- fusal met the members. t~
 George W. Simonds, secretary of the Typothetae, at 1O:3O o'clock stated mat while he had not had advices rom all the affiliated printers, he was confident that the refusal would be unanimous. He added that he had sent circular to every Job printer in Greater Boston, both those within and without the Typothetae, asking them not to sign the agreement proposed and inviting them to attend a special meeting of the master printers to be held to-day. These circulars, he said, were sent to at least 400 job printers, employing approximately 2,5OO print erS ..

Dyer of Plainield, H., reached here from a point known as the ''Forty-nine Pines," where they found the yacht of Dickerson tied to the beach.

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.
Chief Factor i'm Its Solution is In-
 dustrial Education.

Miss Estelle Reel, superintendent of Indian schools, was recently telling a Washington Post reporter 8 good deal of what was being done for the young boys and girls of that race through out the United States, reports that pa- per.
 There is no sort of doubt" said she, 'tof the good progress. the young gen. eration of Indians is making toward 8 higher civilization. Not long since was out in South Dakota. inspecting the day schools on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge reservations, and was gratified to see how we'll the young Sioux are doing. The boys are getting not only fair de- gree of book learning, but they are be- ing taught in a practical way that old- est of occupations-agriculture There is a garden connected with each school, and they are shown how to plant and cultivate potatoes, beans, cabbages and various other vegetables. Wherever IT, rigation Is feasible they are shown its application.
 "The young girls are instructed in all the branches of housekeeping, cooking, sewing, mending and the like. They take to these arts readily and are much cleverer with their fingers than white children. The sewing of some of the girls is really beautiful. While excelling in manual dexterity, the Indian children are slow to comprehend abstract ideas. They can be taught to cipher very well, but mental arithmetic puzzles them sad 1y. This, in my opinion, is additional reason for emphasizing their need of training along practical lines. It is far better to teach the rising generation how to make 8 crop and keep the house decently than to employ them in pars- ing sentences or studying history. They take Interest only in the tangible and the concrete, something they can perceive with the eye, and to which they have in way been used from infancy.
 There Is no longer any opposition to the children attending the government schools on the part of the parents. In fact, the old folks now gladly bring their offsring to the schoolhouses and are proud of their scholastic attainments. The solution of the Indian problem may not be easy, but in time 1t will be ac- complished. The two chief factors to that end is this industrial education and after that the dispersion of the Indians among the white people throughout every part of the United States"

D.afnesa In Faahion.

It may be solace to deaf women to know their ailment is fashionable, says the New York Press. Queen Alexan- dra is totally deaf, the Duchess of Marlborough is hard of hearing and one of Mrs. Ogden Mills eardrums is out of commission. It is said Miss Beatrice Mills also is suffering from deafness, which is unusual in girl so young So far ear trumpets have been tabooed, but Mrs. Griswold Gray of Paris, another woman of fashion who is deaf, defies precedent and carries about with her an elaborate device made of hard rubber. Sitting with her sister, Mrs. James A. Burden, in the Burden opera box, Mrs. Gray got out her hearing apparatus, and it was off, fered to the guests-one at time, of course. In this way there was no oc- casion for shouting. When Mrs. Gray was ready to go home her ear trumpet < was packed away in a plush bag. Some persons say Mrs. Gray takes pride in her deafness.

QUAINT ADVICE IN A WILL.
Farmer Tells Family How to Care
 For the Chickens.

Farmer Tells Family How to Care
 For the Chickens.
 The will of Frank Fegley, a farmer who lived near Zionsville, Pa, was ad- mitted to probate the other day, says an Allentown Pa.) dispatch to the Philadelphia Press. The instrument was simply a letter written on the leaf of an old composition book. There were no witnesses to it, but two neigh bors identified the signature.
 Fegley left wife and eleven chil- dren. Tn the letter he bestows advice, seasoned with frequent Scriptural al- lusions, upon each member of the fam fly. Economy in farm management is urged. One sentence reads as follows: Do not go to bed and leave chickens in the cold trees nor the pigs without a good bed. Feed regular and spare the feed while it is plenty"
 The will in all respects was unusual, the spelling and grammatical forms be- ing especially so
