Harry J. Webber Came TO Ills Death
Near Uxiah by Natural Causes.


Coroner T. NJ. Henderson and Roy
Skiles of the RAIDER undertaking par
lors returned last evening at 5 o'clock
with the remains of Harry J. Webber,
who was found dead in the pasture of
A. A. Cole near Ukiah, Tuesday night
While all the evidence produced at
the inquest at Ukiah yesterday showed
that he had come to his death by nat
ural causes, yet owing to the appear
ance of the skull there was some
doubt In the minds of several of the
jurymen as to the cause Of his death,
and II was decided to bring the re-
mains here and conduct post mortem
examination. DIR. Ringo assisted in the
post mortem last night, and it was
found that the skull was not injured
in the least and the swollen and pc
culiar appearance was caused by the
head lying upon the ground for sew
eral days.
Webber left one of the Cunning
ham sheep camps about 10 days ago
to search for some lost sheep and was
not heard from again until his remains
were found Tuesday evening by Ed
Thresher in the Cole pasture. The
body was lying in the open pasture.
his hat and dinner bucket were close
at hand. and there was no evidence of
a struggle. lit is apparent that he
died from natural causes, perhaps
heart disease.
His mother resides in Baker City
and took charge of the remains. The

LAZY GERM
is Discovered in New Orleans Pupils
and VIII Be Slain Before the
New Term Begins.

New Orleans, La, June 28.-Dr, Ar.
mold Pfaff, Of the National Bureau Of
education, whose theory that laziness
among school children was caused by
germ, has found specimens of this
germ in the school children of New
Orleans and is now looking for a cure
for the disease.
Or. Pfaff says that he has discovered
a germ in 10 students in the Ferrell
school and win at once begin an in.
yestigation in the city high schools.
The blood of the schoolhoys which
was analysed by Or. Pfaff was drawn
from their ears. He selected those
who seemed TO be 'chronieally disin-
clined to study. After thorough an
alysis he assured the teachers that the
boys were not responsible for their
condition, but were the victims OF a
we'll defined disease. On this hypothe-
sis the boys were allowed to get off
very easily on their final examinations
DR. Pfaff had all the boys under treat
ment and assured their teachers that
they will be cured before the next

NO COAL FAMINE.
Is Likely to Result from the
Shut Down of Illinois Mines
MR.. M. c. WRIGHT EXPLAINS WHY
THE MINERS MUST PAY THE
SHOT FlRERS-PEAcE
PENDING.

Although the chances favor a gen
eral shut down of Illinois coal mines.
the operators. in their official organ,
the Black Diamond, warn the ship
pers, jobbers and consumers against
too much fear and the consequent or
dering of large quantities of fuel The
paper, which devotes considerable
space TO the subject, is optimistic in
les beliefs and expresses the conyic-
ton that there is a chance for settle
ment If the Illinois mines should be
closed, it declares, there will be no
famine in soft coal nor will there be
great increase in price because of the
fact that the state is surrounded on
all sides by heavy soft coal producing
states which can easily and readily
ship into this market.
Next Saturday the shotirers' bill
becomes an operative law on the stat
ute books of Illinois. It is also the date
when over this same shot-tirers' bill
the state coal operators association
and the state organization of the Unit
| ed Mine Workers of America lock
horns. Fifteen months ago in joint
| convention the miners and operators
formulated working agreement for
] two years, which ends April I, 1906.
The shot firers' bill was passed by the
state legislature by labor interests de,
spite the opposition OF the operators.
| The operators hold that 1t cancels
the present working agreement. throw
/ ing the various districts out of tn,
! agreed ratio balance and the state
cost of production out of balance witt
competitors Of Indiana and other
states. They declare the miners forced
the bin through and must pay the cost
of its operation until new joint agree
ment is reached. The miners hold
that the operators must pay the differ
ence.
! In speaking of the pending shut
down of the mines, a few days ago
Mr.. M. c. Wright Of this city, who is
a prominent mine operator and mem
Der of the operators executive com
mittee, but who is kept from attendins
\ the meeting in Chicago on account b
ILLNESS, said: "The shut down Of this
mines will not cause any coal famine
here. Cairo can get all the coal j
wants from Kentucky and Indiana
mines and If necessary can get tia,
more expensive Pittsburg coal.
THE shot firers bill would benefi
only about 10 per cent of the miners
as the law does not affect the mine
that do not use gas, the mines that ds
not use powder or the mines that us,
powder in charges under two pounds
| AS everything II based on pro rati
scale, the mines that would be affect
ed by the snot firers bill would not b
lplaced on an equal footing with tn,
lother mines in other districts as ths
cost of production would be increase,
about 10 cents a ton.
From the latest reports received
here the committees representing tn
| Union miners and the operators. VIII,
are meeting in Springfield, rae MAXIM
an effort to end the matter before til,
first of July, when the operators de
! clare they will close the mines ii TIL
miners do not agree TO pay the sho
| firers.
