PUNX'Y GETS BARRACKS.
One of the Four Companies of State
Police Located at Pupxsy.

Police Located at Pupxs'y.
On Monday it was officially announced
that one of the four companies of state
police authorized by the last legislature
would be located in Punxsutawney,
The announcement was made by Capt.
John c. Groome, superintendent OF the
Department of State Police, of Harris
burg, who was here and accepted the
terms and conditions offered by the
Board Of Trade and prominent citizens
for the location of the barracks at this
place.
For many years there had been de-
mand from the country districts
throughout the state for better police
service. Robberies were being commit
ted on every hand, safes were being
cracked and lawless men roaming about
at will. The local officers were with
out sufficient authority or means to
leave their bailiwicks to pursue these
outlaws and the consequence was that
most of these malefactors escaped. In
fractions of the game and fish laws and
the statutes relating touforests and fires
are constantly being violated and the
establishment OF this new department is
designed to give country districts SER
vice much the same as that vouchsafed
by the police force of city.
AS beginning the law provides for
four companies, to be composed OF a
captain, lieutenant, five sergeants and
fifty privates each, total of 81 men.
The other compahies will be located at
Greensburg, Reading and Wilkesbarre,
respectively. The organization at this
place will be known as TroopC.
CAPTAIN j. F. Robinson, formerly city
editor of the Bradford Star, and an
officer in the Sixteenth Regiment, N.
G. p, will have charge of the Punxsu'
tawney station. The men have all been
selected and about so Of them have been
ordered to report in Punxsutawney Fri
day and Saturday. While here Monday
Captain Groom and Captain Robinson
had plans drawn up for repairing and
remodeling the main building in the
fair grounds which will be used fol
temporary quarters. Work was begun
on the building at once and until it is
ready the men will be provided for in

Uncle Sam Loans His Soldiers
to John Robinson.

The John Robinson Shows are
billed for two performances on
next Thursday at Jackson, and
the advance couriers tell of an
augmentation to their usual ex-
cellent program in the shape of
two companies of U. S. cavalry
from the worlds greatest mill
tary riding school at Fort Riley,
Kan. These dare devil riders
have astounded the world with
their remarkable exhibition of
horsemanship, and their addition
to the usual excellent offering of
this father of excellent shows was
only accomplished after much red
tape and a strong pull with
the military heads of Uncle
Sans army. Within the past
few years the riding of the SOL
diers of the regular army in this
country has been brought to such
a perfection that the oldest of the
successful circus riders have
been apprehensive of their lau-
rels, and the coming of the show
will afford an opportunity to wit
ness the daily contests between
the favorites of the sawdust
arena and the daring soldier
boys in blue.
These hardy fighters scorn the
use of tights and riding shoes,
and clad in their regulation uni
form, with heavy army boots,
they perform with daring ease
and consumate skill every re-
markable feat of horsemanship
known to modern and ancient
riding.

The Million Mark.

1t is interesting to note that in
awarding the Post Dispatch prize
of $500 for the best suggestion
Of ways and means to increase
the population of St. Louis to a
million the committee of award,
consisting of members of the eX-
ecutive committee of the Million
Club, selected an advertising
idea. The prize was awarded
on the merits of the sugge stion,
but there were palpable objec-
tons on the ground of impracti-
cabiIity in any plan which de-
pended for effectiveness on the
investment of private capital or
the independent action OF indi-
viduals or corporations. The plan
must be one in which all citizens
can cooperate and which will
advance the interests Of all, and
for these reasons the advertising
idea is undoubtedly the best. 1t
ought to bring in its train the
utilizing Of all opportunities for
the advancement of the city's
interests. 1t emphasizes the value
of the right sort of publicity.
In formulating his prize plan
Mr.. II. T.. Lesan has offered food
for intelligent thought and effec-
tive action. In the beginning he
warns citizens against efforts to
bring in population in excess o.
opportunities of employment.
Population without means of liV-
inc would be a curse rather than
Il blessing. The objective point,
therefore, is the increase of man.
ufacturing and commercial activ-
tiles which will offer profitable
employment for newcomers and
will require additional population
to meet new needs. He wisely
urges the expansion of the trade
of our present plants and facili-
ties to a maximum until the de-
mands exceeds the supply, thus
creating the necessity for more
facilities and for extending the
lines of investment and activity.
In considering the prime subjects
for advertising, Mr.. Lesan sug-
gests three main divisions:
/. St. Louis, her history, ad-
mirable location, business facili-
ties and advantages as manu-
featuring and market center.
2. st. Louis territory, making
st. Louis the gateway of the
Southwestern empire, which is
developing with amazing rapidi-
ty. This territory might be ex-
tended to include the entire Mis-
sissippi Valley with its water
ways and railway arteries. Of
course, this would require the
elimination of the Mississippi
| river as Fan obstacle to railway
transportation and its utilization
as waterway.
3. st. Louis manufactured

SANTA FE RETURNED
FORTUNE TO SHIPPERS

TOPEKA, Kas:, March S.-During
the year ending June 80, 1902. Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railway paid
back to shippers the sum of $1,519,892.
This fact was developed in the exam
ination today of w. ]. Healy, freight
auditor Of the Santa Fe before the at
torney general, who is taking deposit
tons in the case he has instituted to
ascertain whether or not the Santa Fe
is violating the antitrust law of
Kansas.
Mr.. Healy said that this amount con-
stitutes the total over-charges made
for the year and that he could not give
the names of the shippers to whom
payments were made without referring
the original vouchers. He said it would
take three or four months to get the
vouchers and on the advice Of r. w.
Dunlap, general attorney for the Santa
Fe, Mr.. Healy temporarily declined to
consent to an examination of his
vouchers and records
It is the theory of the state that
these overcharges are in reality rebates
and that an examination of the vouch-
ers will show that the greater portion
Of the payments have been made to the
Standard OIL company and other mon
opolies.

ly $6.66.
The exhorters unite in declaring that
it is harder to reach the worklngman
than any other class of society. The
workingman is likely to be radical IN
his opposition to existing conditions.

ligious matters. The ministers also re-

JUlUTH HEIGHTS GOSSIP
BRIEF AND SOCIAL news
People Very Much Affected by
Sudden Accident to Geo.
Johnston.
Has Close Call, But Condition
Is Favorable for Rapid
Recovery

All of Duluth Heights was grieved
Thursday evening to hear Of the sad
accident which befell George Johnston,
eldest son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Johnston of Hugo street. But a few
days previous George accepted posi-
ton with the F. A. Patrick company.
He was quickly becoming acquainted
with his work, and gave promise of be-
ing a useful employee Of the firm.
Thursday evening it became necessary
for the employees Of the firm to work
over time. George came to the first
floor on the elevator, where he had
some work to do. Another employe had
worked the elevator from a higher
floor unknown to George. Knowing full
well that no one had approached the
elevator from his floor, and still be-
lieving that it was where he had left
it, he walked into the shaft and fell
face downward to the basement, just
ten feet below, and struck his fore
head against the crossbeam at the base
Of the shaft. His skull was severely
crushed and for a time his life was
dispaired of. Careful treatment and
skilled surgery, it is hoped, have done
their work, for during the past few
days he has been rallying. While not
completely out Of danger, those who
are attending George have good hopes
for his ultimate recovery.
It is possible that he may lose the
sight of his left eye, but even that may
be restored with the healing Of the
fracture.
That George is most popular young
man is evident from the number of
calls received at the hospital daily Of
his condition. He has a right to this
popularity because of his sterling quail
tiles, his noble manhood, his
strong character and exemplary
habits. But few young men
in this city are possessed Of all Of these
good traits. That George will soon be
restored to his former health and
strength is the earnest hope of the
Labor World.

STATE LABOR
BUREAUS URGED
Statistician julius Moersch
Comments on Proposed
Bill Just Presented.

julius Moersch. statistician of the
state bureau of labor. who was in the
city yesterday, believes that the bill
introduced into the state legislature for
the creation Of free employment bu-
reaus in St. Paul, Minneapolis and Du-
luth, will prove of great benefit to the
cities mentioned, to laborers and to
all concerned.
Il am taking a great interest in the
BILL said Mr.. Moersch. while the
appropriation asked is rather low. only
$4,000 year. it will give the PROPOSE
ton start. Looking over the report
of the Duluth bureau for five weeks
we find that 1872 people were furnished
employment at a cost Of s143 to the
each man. If we figure that the aver
age charge made at regular agencies
is 81, it means a saving of S21a cents to
every man who took advantage of the
free bureau. OF the number furnished
employment by the free bureau 307
were Duluth men, 266 belonging to the
state and 259 from the outside. These
figures show that the residents of Du-
luth and citizens of the state are large
ly benefited by the bureau and the
volume Of business transacted shows
the need of the bureau.
IF the bill passes Duluth will be re-
lieved of spending any more money
in maintaining such an establishment.
Then there is a question whether the
city has a legal right to operate such
a bureau. I understand that some of
the employment agencies here have
been advised by an attorney to start
suit in court to test the validity OF
the action of the city.
1T can be easily seen by the bill that
laborers of Duluth and the Twin Cities
will be benefited, but farmers. l under
stand, are opposed to the BILL 1t must
be remembered that large majority
of those who go to the woods are sons
of farmers, and Indirectly farmer:
would be benefited by the bureau.
''Then there is no doubt that many a
man is sent by an employment agent to
do job of only fourteen days. There
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1905-03-11

is secret understanding between some
of the agents and some of the foremen
that the men shall only be employed
fourteen days. Consequently there is
continual flow back and forth. that
allows the agents to fill their pockets
with fees, part of which it is said re-
vert to the fOremen. It would be hard
to prove this, but the practice exists,
nevertheless. With a free employment
bureau operated by the state such a
condition would not be possible.
Il have always been impressed with
the efficiency of the public schools
of Duluth. Nobody can shake my
opinion that they are the best in the
state. I have been Investigating the
system of controlling child labor here
and have been much pleased with the
results. While the percentage of child
labor in Minnesota is small. there is
less of it in Duluth proportionately
than in any other city in the state.''

tomorrow, beyond which. time few
reservations had been made in adj
vance. sSWhen these reserve seats an
