ney.

The application of the republican
party lash in the hands of party boss
es atfiliating with John Looney. will
hardly drive decent republicans to the
support of the ticket headed by Viii
liam Kennedy in the pending city
township election. The existence of
the combine within the republican
party TO dominate absolutely all
things political in Rock Island has
been so clearly exposed that there can
be no further deception as to its aim
ana purpose.
The landing of William Kennedy is
deS gned rs stepping stone to the
Office of sheriff. Now comparatively
unknown throughout the county out
side of Rock Island. il was the concep-
tion of the wise heads in the combine
that his membership on the county
board would afford him an opportu-
nifty to extend his acquaintance
throughout the county and thus in

Caught the Train.

In village in the Ozarks, says the
Kansas City Star, guest at the hotel
wished to catch the early morning train,
and asked to be called at three-thirty.
Having no alarm clock and no clerk, the
landlord sat up all night to make sure OF
arousing him On time.
The hotel,keeper found it rather hard
to keep awake, but at three.thirty prompt
Slyhe knocked at the guests door.
ssGet up p he said in q surly tone. 1ts
three.thirty."
The guest turned over and grunted in
sleepy laziness. ooh, I guess I'll let that
train go, and sleep till seyen," he said.
aNo, ye won't, either!" shouted the
landlord, and emphasized his remarks by
shooting three or four shots into the floor
; of the hallway from the revolver with
which he had guarded the hotel. II sat
up all night to get you up on time, and
you're going to get up or I'll know the
reason whyr'
There was an ample persuasiveness
about the way he said it, and the guest

Football Profits Exceed s.7, 900.

Graduate Manager Roger Ernst, of the
athletic association of Harvard Univer-
sity, has issued his financial report for the
year. of 190a.1904. It shows that football
il most lucrative of the sports, the net re.
ceipts aggregating the sum of $4,000.
The track team was the only loser, drop
ping 1856. Baseball also proved profit
getter, the profits reaching $4,0S5.19. In
the game with Yale recently Harvard lost
a couple of hundred. The net balance for
the year amounts to $33,057.51.
Harvard has proved a strong drawing
card at every place the several teams have
played, and it has about the largest ath-
letic profits of any of the great Eastern
institutions of learning. Football has at
traeted much more liberal patronage than
the diamond game, the difference being

MAY CEASE MINING
Possible Result of Strife Over
the Wage Scale.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 3.-The
joint conference of operators and min
ers adjourned today after appointing a
committee to continue the negotiations
The adjournment is probably for a
month.
Prospects for an agreement on the
wage scale are gloomy. The 353 opera
tors and 557 miners have declared they
would never accept the terms offered
by the opposite side.
The possibility of a final disagree
ment and suspension of bituminous
mining April 1 is a topic of conversa-
ton among the miners and operators.
w. S. Boyle, the Indiana operator, said:
THE country will have almost sixty
days in which to prepare for a sus-
pension if it comes. The other districts
produce a great deal of coal, and 1 do
not think that suspension in April
would cause great inconvenience"
The Indiana operators are making
the assertion that the cheaply mined
coal of West Virginia is entering their
markets. The fight for the reduction,
however, has been essentially that of
the Ohio and Pennsylvania operators,
who assert that they are direct COM
petitors of the West Virginia opera
