british LIBERALS LOSE GROUND.
Municipal Elections show a Swinging
Rack 10 Conservative Lines.

Special Gable Despatch 10 The sun,
LONDON, Nov. THE results OF the mu-
nicipal elections in England to-day indicate
that the political pendulum, which touched
the Liberal limit in the Parliamentary cleo
tons, is swinging back strongly.
The municipal contests here are mainly
on party lines, and to-day's results, although
incomplete, show considerable COnserva-
tive gains. This Ia notably the case in on
don, where the Progressives, that is, the
Liberals, Radicals and Socialists, were
charged with e~xtravagant expenditures on
Socialist schemes.

Biz Bear

A bear weighing $50 pounds was
killed on the farm of Chas. Harper,
Canaan Valley, at 7.30 O'Clock last
Sunday morning. The bear was kill
ed by Harry Shlres.and Enoch Alt, and
they used a rifle and shot gun. In all
about Is loads were emptied into the
bear, whose skin was so thick and
tough that the leaden missiles had lit
tie effect at first. The bear put up a
,lubborn battle and in the struggle
one Of the dogs that was taking part
was accidently shot.
The bear was estimated to be about
fifteen years old. The age of the bear
was determined by marks on one
of his feet where it had been caught
in trap. Sol. Rohrbaugh, who used
to live east Of the mountain in Grant
county identified the bear as the one
he caught in a trap ten years ago. IA
number of Davis people secured mess
of the bears meat, as hind quarter
was sold out by Burley & Benefits
meat market, the demand being great
ly in excess of the supply.-Davis

The Virginia land North Carolina
tobacco growers are trying to organize
to escape the clutches Of the tobacco
octopus, known as the American To-
bacco Co. These farmers claim that the
trust, through it's various charges, fixes
the price Of tobacco, snd there is prac-
ticaIly but one buyer. Before the trust
was formed there was competition and
when the product was auctioned off
there was some show for the farmer to
get fair price. The tobacco growers
intend to adopt a method whereby
they can hold their tobacco until sa:-
isfactory price is obtained, and pledges
were read at meeting in Danville
from more than 1000 growers agreeing
to place the whole or part Of their crop
Of 1906 in the hands Of a committee for
disposal.
Although there has been on file IN
the Department Of Justice for more
than six years ample evidence to con
Wet the tobacco trust magnates OF con-
spiracy in restraint Of trade, yet the
Roosevelt Administration has refused
to prosecute the case, and SO encour-
aged the trust managersto even great
er cxactions. The plan Of this trust in
criminally depressing the price Of what
it buys and forcing its competitors to
the wall Is closely after the manner
the Beef Trust, another plunderer OF
the farmers and consumers. With
hundred Of special attorneys employed
the Administration has not succeeded
in convicting andimprisoning a single
trust manager. A few paltry fines have
been imposed, but such mild punish
ment has had no effect on Fighting
the wrongs Of producers, or consumers
for no trust has ceased to beat down
the price Of what it buys, or has de-
creased the price of what it sells.
Those Democrats who have becom e
Rooseveltized must feel foolish for fol-
lowing him as model trust buster,
for what have they gained by 1t?

NEW YEAR BRINGS
INCREASED WAGES
Book Concern Employees Get an 9-Hour
Day and SilVis Blacksmiths
Are Given Raise.

The advent of the new year will be
hailed with more than usual thankful
ness by the 30 or 60 employees of the
Augustana Book concern. for Wednes-
day. the first working day of the new
year. the new rule establishing an
S-hour day in all departments will go
into effect This of course means a
material increase in wages, as the
new hours do not change the scale for
the day. The change is particularly
gratifying. in view of the fact that the
management established the rule at
the mere request of the employees.
1t is announced that the blacksmiths
at Silvis will receive an increase in
wages after Jan. /. amounting to 212
cents an hour. The helpers will also
be included in the advance. The raise
was announced by delegates from this
city who presented the matter to Off
cials at Chicago.
