INCREASE IN MINERS WAGES
Sliding Scale Adopted by the Anthra-
cite Strike Commission Results
in Seven Per Cent Added {

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The follow
ing statement is authorized on be-
half of the anthracite coal operators:
The wages of more than 100000 an
| thracite mine workers have been
steadily raised since the first Of June
by the operation of the sliding scale
established by the anthracite strike
commission. the seven per cent in
crease, which the miners will receive
on this months production is the Gull
mination Of an upward wage move
ment which began with one per cent
in october. Up to the end of October
the eight principal anthracite produce
ers paid out about $1,250,OO0 in in
crease of wages over and above wnsv
the miners would have received under
the June scale. The total would be
largely increased if the wages paid by
other operators were added.
The benefits received by the miners
under the sliding scale system are in
addition to the direct wage increase OF
ten per cent and other advantages
which the miners obtained under the
award of the strike commission, the
second three-year period Of which be-
gan last April.
The anthracite industry is sOme-
what unique, in that the wages Of the
workingmen go up automatically with
every increase in the selling price Of
the product, the miners receiving an
additional one per cent in wages for
every five-cent advance of the wh4le-
sale price of coal over $3.50 a ton at
tidewater.

CIGARETS AND WIVES HIS FADS
Too Many Of Each Get Man Into
Trouble.

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 20.-George
Field, who is a human pincushion, q
human writing pad, and has four wives
is a puzzle to alienists, who are try
ing to figure out whether his pecu-
liarities are due to the fact that he
smokes cigarets.
Field is on trial here as a result Of
his fondness for matrimony. According
to DR.. w. r. Hall, who is advising
his defense, there are large spots on
Fields back that do not feel pain and
other spots on his body on which one
can write letters with a blunt instru-
ment that will remain legible several
minutes. Pins could be stuck into
spots on the back and Field would not
feel them, according to DR.. Hall.

CARELESS HUNTER SHOOTS TWO
Boys, Victims of One Bullet Nearly
Succumb to Wound Before
Being Rescued.

DULUTH, Nov. 2O-When Arthur
and Charles Dahl, boys, were in the
woods south of DEVILS Track lake, they
were seriously wounded by single
shot fired by a careless hunter.
They were descending a hill when
a bullet passed through Charles leg
just below the knee, shattering the
bone, and then struck Arthur in the
leg touching the bone. 1t lodged in the
front of the leg little above the knee,
and later was removed by surgeon.
Charles was disabled and could not
move from where he fell. Though they
yelled for help, the person who fired
the shot fled from the scene.
The boys realized that to wait for
help meant death for both Of them, sc
after they had recovered sufficiently
from the first shock, Arthur started
back, leaving his wounded brother
where he fell.
He had to drag himself most of the
way. Thoughts of his brother, more
then of his own wounds. gave him the
strength to pull himself through, and
he succeeded in reaching Julius Pc. err
sons at about 8 clock, being nearly

Forty Years a Hermit, James
Jimson is Dead.
FOUND BY COWBOYS IN LITTLE CABIN
DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE AFFAIR,
TOOK UP A LIFE OF
SOLITUDE.

HURON, S D., Nov. 20.-One of the
strangest characters ever known in
South Dakota has just died in the
squalid little hut near Rattlasnake
Butte, west of the Missouri river, in
which he lived alone and friendless for
nearly forty years. In the early sew
enties James Unison came to the wild
Dakota territory as a trader among the
Sioux tribes Of Indians. He was al
ways friendly to the red men, and he
made friends as we'll as money. 1t is
said that he fell in love with one of
the beautiful young Sioux girls. but,
as the laws of the tribe forbid any
intermarriage with the whites, his love
was in vain. So, choosing a locality
away from his old scenes of activity,
Unison lived alone, depending on a
small flock Of sheep and several cows
for a living.
This was forty years ago. The old
mans hair was as white as snow when
he was found dead in the little hut
by a cowboy, and his clothes were in
tatters. 1t is said that he possessed a
considerable amount of money, which
it is believed he has buried or Sc
creted somewhere on the rough butte
Among some papers found in a little
cabinet in the rock were letters dated
1876, which led the discoverer of the
mans body to believe he had friends
somewhere in Franklin county, o.
The land he has lived on for so long
is valuable, as it is near the present
survey Of the Milwaukee railroads
coast extension.
He was probably the oldest continu-
Gus inhabitant of the western part of
South Dakota.

SHERIFF IS MOVING SOME
New Quarters Are Taken Up in Coun-
ty Jail Where Prisoners Are
Expected to Stick Close.

Sheriff Painter was busy getting
comfortably settled in his office in the
new Jail building yesterday and today.
The quarters, although small, are
roomy enough for what will be re-
quired Of them and the arrangement is
convenient. The headquarters Of the
county peace officer will be in the
room to the left of the entrance and
the room back of this will be used for
a private office. This communicates
directly with the cell room.
The latter has been fitted up ac-
cording to the most improved system.
A triple set of bars stands between
prisoners and their liberty; first those
of the cell and then the cage around
the cell and then every window is
equipped with another set and outside
of these wire netting.
The beds in the cells are arranged
so that they let down. There are sep
arate quarters for men, women ano
children besides padded cell for
violent lunatics.
Jailer Berry will live upstairs and
all the cooking will be done there.
A small window communicates be-
tween the kitchen and the cell room
The Jail, as arranged at present
will be almost as nearly escape proof
as a penitentiary. The city prison
ers. as well as those belonging to the
county, will be taken care of in the
new quarters.
The old sheriff's office and the room
adjoining will be fitted up for the use
of the county clerk. The police de-
partment will move into the room al
the rear end of the hall when the work
of turning the sheriff's old office into
a big vault is begun.

ments. We are often very much i'm
pressed by the woman who is doing a
great and grand work for humanity,
hut the one who retains our respect is
the true wife and mother, who presidcs
over her home and children with
heart and head, demonstrating kind
ness and ability which puts the blush
on the public life. Let the parents, the
father as we'll as the mother, impress
upon their young daughters, whether
they are in the country school house or
college, that the true woman's sphere
is in the home, and the great business
and educational world that have thrown
wide open the doors for woman does
not dctract one iota from the import
ance Of her sphere.
Back to the home is the cry going up
from thousands; let us educate our
daughters for true wOmauly women;
give them the highest education within
our power hut keep them close To our
hearts; teach them the rudimcnts of
housekeeping and graceful homcmak-
ing, keeping the one great truth before
them that IA woman is more satisfactory
To herself and those dear to her when
she is Il womanly woman, firm, capable,
but kind and gentle, keeping her path
way through life bright and good.
Parents should always bear in mind
that the daughters health is far more
important than anything else. Educa-
tion without health avails but little.
The physical training is far reaching
in its influence; everything depends
upon it; whatever else may be girls
desire or ambition let her health re-
the first consideration.

How Tillmnn Lost Ills Eye.

Most people know that Senator Till
man has lost an eye. but few are aware
how he sustained the injury. Although
his brothers were old enough to serve
in the confederate army, Benjamin was
II sChOulbOy Of 10 when the civil war
began. He knew that at III he must
Join the confederate forces, and his
brothers wrote back from the field en-
treating him TO get rs much education
as possible, because the war might last
so long that he would never again be
able to go TO school. Even at night
young Tillman would continue his
studies, frequently carrying lighted
pine knot into the woods and lying down
with his books beside it. He was Il
lank, tall, silent boy, dictatOrial and
hrusque, but Il natural student. The
heat Of the pine torch injured his left
eye and a plunge in cold water brought
on Il tumor that destroyed it, 1t was

mishap that prevented the youth from
