.OYAMA IS ADVANCING

A renewal of fighting is expected
shortly. The concentration of the Rus
sian army is complete with its advance

pied by Japanese artillery, but so far

100000, which was lost during the re-
treat from Mukden. has been found,
but the cash chest of the ninth regi-
ment OF artillery. which was also lost

FOOLISH Mr.. HAER.
Baer the Coal King Fails to Read His
Bible Carefully.

Mr.. George F. Baer, president of the
Reading railroad, is a very able man
who sometimes says very foolish
things. Mr.. Baer has broken loose
again. His latest utterance is the fol-
lowing:
"Cain was the first striker and he
killed Abel because Abel was the
prosperous fellow"
A sentence like this might be al
most incendiary in it's effect. It is
certainly not calculated to aid in the
solution of the labor problem, nor will
it serve the cause of peace in the an
thracite coal fields. 1t is a very I'M
gracious, not to say false, statement.
Cain was the first murderer and to
say that Cain was the first striker is
the same as saying that strikers are
murderers. To declare that Cain
willed Abel because Abel was the
more prosperous fellow is practically
to charge that labor strikes have as
their predominating motive envy of
the rich.
There have been too many strikes
in which violence has been done and
murder committed, but the vast ma
jority of strikers are not murderers
either in fact or in intent. There is
no doubt much labor agitation which
is kept alive by envy of the rich, but
that is not the predominating motive
of labor organizations. Mr.. Baer ought
to be ashamed of himself-Wall Street
Journal.

A CLEVER INVENTION.
Lincoln Man lnvents a Feeder for the
Linotype Machine.

Charles Bowers, a union printer of
Lincoln, has invented feeder for the
linotype machine. It automatically
feeds the pigs of metal into the melt
ing pot, as needed, the machine being
put into operation by a rachel device
when the metal in the pot is lowered
to certain stage. By the use of this
ingenious arrangement large share
of the operators time is saved, result
ing CORRESPONDENCE increased out
put of type.
Mr.. Bowers has perfected his
machine after several months of hard
work, and is now figuring to have it
placed upon the market. Numerous
attempts have been made to invent
feeders, but Mr.. Bowers is the first
to offer machine that overcomes all
objections. 1t is comparatively
cheap, cannot be Jared into operation
by the running of the machine, and is
attached in such a manner as to be
entirely out of the way of the
machinist.

OF COURSE 1T HELPS.
Union Label Adds to the Selling Quail
ties of All Goods.


The statement is made that the
Douglas shoe factory is turning out
10000 pairs of shoes a day. This
statement seems impossible, in the
face of the assertions of our friends(0
of the Manufacturers Association, that
the use of the union label renders
goods unsaleable. Surely it is impos-
sible to sell that many pairs of union
labeled shoes in a day. And then,
too, Mr.. Douglas pays union wages,
which according to these same gentle
men, must inevitably result in bank
ruptcy. With the terrible drain upon
his resources from the payment of ex-
tortionate wages and the loss of bust
ness resulting from the use of the Ia

race for job as governor of Massa-
