The following report has been sent
out from Cincinnati. At the time OF

communicate with those interested
in the operations in this county to
ascertain II the report is correct:
"A big coal deal has been closed.
whereby the Hinch Coal and Coke
Company, OF Cincinnati. took over
the Norfolk and Western Coal and
Coke Company and three West vir-
ginia coal mines. with about 1000
acres OF coal land. The deal in
wolves about 100000.
The Norfolk and Western Coal

concern. The mines taken over are
the Borderland Coal Company. in
Mingo County, the Williamson Coal

ANARCHY lin

Broughton BdandenbuTg, whose ar
ticle In Golfers on anarchy in Amerl-

ings, states the number OF anar-

map, which purports to show the ap-
prOximate location OF the loosely or
ganized and shifting groups" leaves
only the western and southern states
containing no large cities as free
from anarchistic propaganda. A
party OF $4,000 men and women,
considered as ordinary political or
social movements are considered. is
almost insignificant. There are more
than 10 times as many prohibitions
lists. But the presence OF that num-
ber of potential assassins is proper
subject for the utmost solicitude
We are still in the stage OF wild abb
surdity in our attempts 10 deal with
this question. Deportation, lnsula-
tion, death itself, are alike powerless

our anarchists or keep them from

COLLISION AT

Operator Lets West hound Train ON
East Hound Track With
hilarious Results.

What was practically head-on
collision between n freight and pas
senger train. both belonging to the
Crane Creek division. occurcd a short
distance west OF Bluestone junction
shortly after noon yesterday. and
but for the fact that both trains
were within the yard limits and there
fore running very slowly the result
OF the clash would have evidently
be serious. As IL was. several pas
sengers were more or less bruised
up, while both engines were slightly
damaged-the tender of the passen-
ger train being smashed into kind
ling wood. From the best report
obtainable IL seems that the operator
at Bluestone Junction gave tho pas
senger train tho right paddle but
the wrong track. and instead OF go
ing out on the west bound track the
train glided out an the east bound
track with the result that Il had gone
only few hundred yeards wnen Il
ran into an east bound coal train.
The passenger engine was running
backwards. Just before the collision
conductor Rees Bowen of tho pas
senger discovered the fact that his
train was on the wrong track and
reached the bell cord. as he did SO
the impact came and he was thrown
violently to the floor, but sustained
no injury. The wrecking crew was
quickly on the scene and the track
was cleared In short order

the discretion imposed upon him by
this resolution. should refuse TO pay
more for anything to be delivered at
Panama than a private contractor or
foreign government would have 10

American producer or manufacturer.
There is no fair test OF a reasonable
price except competition In the mar
ket where the price is demanded. As
American prices In foreign mar.
ket have 70 be determined by com
petition with others and not by com
petition within o tariH wall az home.
anything in that market in excess OF
competitive prices there would bo
extortionate and unreasonable. Tho
resolution adopted Is foolish from the
point OF view OF economy or public

er TO bring It's folly to naught, and IL
is to be hoped that he will have the
wisdom and courage 70 do it.-New

THE MONTH OF
MARRIAGE.

Think YOU any arbitrary decree of
fashion were needed TO make this
glorious month OF June the time OF
love and mating? No. There is
higher law: and all nature submits
to g.
Look even to the very lowest or
der of plants. The tiniest. thread
like pond weeds show us the first
beginnings OF life and the first form
OF marriage. The hair-like strings
OF cells that in June join. coalesce
and form new threads give us the
first hint of the sex function.
All trough the range of plant life
sex is as clearly marked as IL is in
animals. IL is the sexual instinct
the sweet force OF love-tha; has
given TO the flowers their colorlng
and their fragrance which bribe the
bee and the butterfly to come for
yhoney and carry the fertilizing pol
len from plant TO plant.
In countless myriads of forms of
plant life so low as TO be ordinarily
beneath our notice, marriege and re-
production. goes on, and the favor
ite month is June.
The month of roses" we call IL.
Why? Perhaps because the roses
themselves marry in June.
Every bursting bud is drama of
love and longing.
Every brilliant color, every sweet
odor is a plea for mating.
This is not poetry or romance. II
is cold scientific fact. The sexual ~
stinct is the most universal and the
most powerful force In the world.
Love is the great mystery OF lile.
II may be the growth ur years
months or an instant. Man sees q
million faces, he hears a million
voices. he meets million women
with flowers in their breasts and
/ light in their eyes-and they do not
touch him. Then he sees the one
4 at,I H. 4.
She is no nobler, better or more bes "a
tiful than were all those he passed
by. and yet his world is empty with
out her.
Most assuredely there must be
something in love.
There is more in II than there is
in anything else In the world.
