ILLINOIS SHOT -FlRERs' LAW


Springfield. Ill, July s.-Judge
George Gray. Of Delaware. who was
selected as the fifth arbitrator By the
arbitrators selected BY the operators
and the miners Of the state Of Illinois
to decide whether the operators Or the
miners should bear the expense Of the
shot-firers, rendered necessary by the
law which passed the last legislature,
has decided tnat the miners shall re-
simburse the operators one-half for the
expense incurred ~ the employment
Of the shot-frers
Judge Gray in his decision says:
mo good reason can be urged, in
my opinion. why the expense Of such
inspection (that reqNired by the law Of
shot-firersl should be imposed on the
miners It is an expense made by law
incidental to the conduct Of mining OPP
erations.
He holds that the fact that in add.
ton to the inspection, the shot-firer is
required to fire the shot, does not re-
lieve the miner Of appreciate labor
and of little responsibility, and it seems
TO him incontestable that the firing
done by these inspectors may be, by
reason Of the greater regularity and
better methods employed to inure to
the benefit of the operator SO far as tc
some extent at least to compensate
him for the increased expense over the
old method
The agreement made between, the
two executive boards was that shot
tirers Shall receive 81 per day. Of eight
hours, and that the shot-frers shall &C
into the mine SUFFICIENT length OF
time. not less than three hours before
regular quitting time Of the mine, to
satisfy himself that the shots have heen
properly placed and prepared. The
mines in the state, which have oeen
idle since July !. pending the settle
ment Of this dispute, will resume OPP
erations as soon as shot-firers can be

President Roosevelt paid an appro-
pirate and eloquent tribute to the life
and services of the late Secretary OF
State John Hay. He followed this
tribute with an estimate of the personal
sacrifice Elihu~Root had made in be-
coming Secretary Hays successor in

not entirely unique, as the president
indicated in reference he made to other
members of his cabinet, enabled him
to point most effective moral.
President Roosevelt's references to
both Mr.. Hay and Mr.. Root were re-
ceived with tremendous applause, his
statement that the latter had accepted
the Office of secretary of state, fact
CT which many of his auditors were not
aware, bringing the audience to its feet
cheering.
Responses to the presidents address
were made by John R. Kirk, presiding
of the state normal school at Kinks
vile, Mo-, and Miss Katherine Dever-
eux Blake, principal of Public School
No. 6, New York city. Miss Blake's
response was notable effort. She pro-
nounced an eloquent eulogy on the
president, concluding with these words:
f'He is a greater teacher than any
among us. We are teachers of chill
dren; he is teacher of men, teach
er of nations. He is not only the pres
ident Of the United States, but also the
best loved man in all the world.
AS the president shook hands with
Miss Blake at the conclusion of her
address, the audience rose to its feet
and cheered for nearly minute.
Several pretty receptions marked the
trip from the depot to the auditorium.
Outside the depot the Indian band
from Carlisle school was in waiting,
and fell into line Immediately before
the presidents carriage. In the car
riage with the president rode Gov. Ed
ward G. Stokes of New Jersey. A mill
itary escort, consisting of the Second
troop of cavalry under Capt Edward
Field, and the Third regiment, COM
manded by Col John A. Mather, ac-
companied the carriage.
AS the carriage turned into Main
street it passed a wagon filed with ne
groes who began to cheer. In response
the president waved his hand at the
delighted negroes.

Kushequa, Pa, July lO.-(Special) in
this section of Pennsylvania there is a
growing belief that for such Kidney Dis
eases as Rheumatism and Lame Back
there is only one sure cure and that is
Dodd's Kidney Pills. This belief grows
from such cases as that of Mrs. M. L..
Dawson of this place. She tells the story
herself as follows:-
Il have suffered from Rheumatism for
thirty years and find that Dcdd's Kidney
Pills have done me more good than any
medicine | have ever taken. / was also
bothered with Lame Back and / can only
say that my back hasn't bothered me
since | took Dodd's Kidney Pills."
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonderful
if it were not that others are reporting
similar results daily. Kushequa is fast
arriving at a verdict that aDodd's Kid
ney Pills are the one sure cure for Rheu-
matism."

battfeship Kniaz Potemkine, which sur
rendered to the Roumanian authorities
Saturday, King Charles of Roumania
having sent instructions to the COM
mander of the Roumanian squadron that
the vessel be delivered to the Russian
authorities without difficulties.
TorpedobOat Went to Odessa.
The torpedoboat which accompanied
the Kniaz Potemkine, however, left for
Odessa without surrendering, declaring
that she had not mutinied, but that the
Kniaz Potemkine had, forced her to
follow.
Admiral Kruger arrived with his
squadron Sunday morning, and after
exchanging the customary salutes inti-
mated that he had come to arrange
for the transfer of the Kniaz Potem-
kline. Admiral Koslinsky. commander
of the Roumanian squadron, boarded
the Russian battleship Tchesme and in
formed Admiral Kruger that King
Charles had ordered him to turn the
vessel over to the Russian admiral.
The Transfer Completed.
The formalities of the transfer were
completed Sunday afternoon and ADJ
miral Kruger boarded the Kniaz Po-
temkine.
A press representative inspected the
Kniaz Potemkine after the withdrawal
of the Roumanfan guard. Despite the
efforts of the Roumanians to get things
in shipshape, everything aboard the
battleship was still in state of wild
disorder. The officers cabins were
stripped of everything of any value and
bloodstains were everywhere. There
was sufficient ammunition aboard the
vessel to have enabled the mutineers
to make desperate resistance.
It is said that during the last few
days the vessel was navigated by two
engineers and an officer with revolVers
at their heads.
Leader Wanted to Destroy the Ship.
All of the sailors wished to surrender
with the exception of Matuschenko, the
leader of the mutiny, who resisted for
some time and wanted to blow up the
ship.
Seven officers were prisoners aboard
the Kniaz Potemkine. They were in a
pitiable condition from i'll treatment.
They declare that Matuschenko himself
killed ten officers of the battleship.
All the papers and books belonging
TO the vessel were destroyed.
The Decision to Surrender.
It appears that the decision to sur
render the Kniaz Potemkine was made
when it became evident that no other
vessels would join the mutiny. The
crew of the battleship seemed to be
unaware of the surrender of the Georgi
Pobiedonosetz, and expected that she
also was coming to Kustenji to capitu-
late to Roumania.
Twenty married sailors from the
Kniaz Potemkine have applied to the
Russian consul here to be sent back to
Russia.
A Russian priest, after the transfer
held a service of publication On board
the Kniaz Potemkine sprinkling the
vessel and her flags with holy water.
Admiral Kruger's squadron, which
brought crew for the Kniaz Potem-
kline, sailed with her for Russia Sunday
afternoon.
