SUSAN B. ANTHONY
PASSED AWAY

Rochester, N. Y, March IA. The
long and eventful life of Sugsan B. An
thony closed at 1910 O'Clock Tuesday
morning. The end came peacefully.
Miss Anthony had been unconscious
practically for "a hours and her death
had been momentarilly expected since
Sunday night. Only her wonderful
constitution kept her alive.
DR.. M. S. Kicker, her attending ply
stefan said Miss Anthony died of heart
failure induced by double pneumonia
She has had serious valvular heart
trouble for the last six or seven years.
Her lungs were practically closed the
pneumonia had yielded to treatment,
but the weakness of her heart prevent
ed her recovery. Susan B. Anthony
was one Of the foremost opponents of
.women's suffrage of the time. She
came of noted family, and her bro
Their, Colonel Daniel Anthony, was edi-
tor of the Leavenwolth (Kan.) Times
for many years until his death a few
years ago. So persistent was she in her
advocacy Of equal rights that she has
appeared before committees in congress
on the subject every year since 1859,
it is stated. She had a stormy career,
and was once arrested and tried for
voting under the fourteenth amend
ment, in 1872.
Susan Brownell Anthony was born
on February 10, $780, at Adams, Mass.
She was educated in a school main
tanned by her father at Battenville, N
Y, and at Quaker boarding school
in Philadelphia. At the age of 3 years
she became a school teacher, and until
she was 80 years of age followed this
vocation.
It'll was in 1852 that she first began
her career as public woman and a re-
former. She organized at that time
the first women's state temperance 80
ciety, and became active in antislavery
and women's rights affairs.
She was secretary of the Women s
National Loyal league during the civil
| war. Since the war closed her whole
time has been devoted to women q
rights, and she has never lost an oppor
tunity to WELD tongue or pen in behalf
of that cause. She has appear ed as q
contributor in the foremost periodicals
of the day, and also on platforms in
every large city in the country.
One of her ventures was the Revolu.
zionist, an organ designed to spread
the idea that women were entitled to
the ballot.
Miss Anthony did regular field work
for her cause, and in eight different
states where the amendment to allow
the ballot to her sex was being voted
on she took charge of the campaign.
Miss Anthony has held high officers
in the National Women's Suffrage as
ISOLATION since its foundation in 1869.
She was at the time of her death the
president of the National Women g
Suffrage association. With Mrs. Eliza
beth Cady Stanton and Mrs. Matilda
Joslyn Gage, Miss Anthony compiled
The History of Woman Sufferage," a
work which appeared in three volumes.

Cannot Increase Wages.

I'VE can not increase wages with
out advancing the price of coal and we
are not willing to advance the price
of COAL" is the reply to the demand
for a general increase in wages.
In conclusion, the statement says:
1T has been our hope, and we trust
the public expectation as well, that
the effect of the exhaustive investiga-
ton and findings of the distinguished
citizens who constituted the anthracite
strike commission would be to estab-
fish just and permanent adjustment
of the relations between the operators
and their employees. Therefore, we re-
ject the suggestion that an entirely
new and untried system should be
made which is only to last one year.
ut is not to lie interest of the en-
ployers and employees, nor of the pub
lie, to have the mining business as
well as the general business and COM
fort of the people seriously disturbed
by these yearly contentious.
Neither the public nor the opera
tors can stand these progressive and
enormous increases in the cost of the
production of anthracite coal. followed
necessarily by corresponding increase
in the price.
1T is peculiarly fortunate, there
fore that existing conditions have all
been the result of arbitration by third
persons; that neither party can say
that it has not had due consideration
There can be no doubt that the good
of all concerned will be served best
by adhering to the results thus
reached"

FEARS COAL STRIKE.
OPERATORS REJECT ALL PROPO.
SITIONS OF THE MINERS.
Coal Harons Claim If They Raise
Wages They VIII Have to Raise
Price Of Coal and They Claim the
People Cannot Afford the Raise at
1nIs Time.

The propositions .Ae United Nine
workers of America for a REIMBURSEMENT
of wages and conditions in the an
thracite coal fields, as a whole have
been rejected by the operators. AS a
counter proposition the operators sug-
gest that tie awards made by the an
thracite coal strikes commission, the
principles upon which they are estab-
lished by the commission and the
methods established for carrying out
their findings and awards, shall be con-
tinued for further term of three years
from the 1st day of April, IoUo. The
present agreement terminates March
81 of this year.
Announcement of the anthracite OPP
orators decision and their counter
proposition was made in long formal
statement which was given out for pup
LEGATION. This statement, which in
cludes the correspondence on the SUBJ
jects at issue between President John
Mitchell Oh the United Mineworkers,
acting for the miners, and George F..
Baer, president of the Philadelphia q
Reading Coal & Iron company, for lne
operators, discusses the miners propo-
sitions in detail In every instance the
contention is made by the operators
either that conditions in the coalfelds
do not warrant the change proposed
by the miners, or that the questions at
issue already have been passed upon
by the STRIFE commission.

AGENT.

Agent.
The fruit growers and vegetable pro-
ducers of Spokane county have effect
ed an organization.
A resolution was passed that the
Spokane County association be formed
along the lines of that in Puyallup and
that the fruit growers and vegetable
producers form a union as central
body. which is to act as agent for the
county, and none of the members are
to sell any Of the produce except

The proposition Is to have a gen.
eral distributing agency and all the
fruit growers and vegetable producers
are to have stock In this central body.
Each man, whether he owns Is shares
or one share, will have but one vote in
the union.
A competent man is to be secured to
sell the produce and the producers are
not to sell it except through him. This
agent is to be in the direct employ
ment of the union and to see that the
markets are supplied in the most econ
omic manner, and that the products of
the county are placed where they will
bring the best price. controlling the
output so there will be a demand for
the products.

DOUBLE-HEADERS
IN COLLISION

Butte, Mont. March ID. - During
the fiercest storm that has ragged along
the line in 90 years, four giant locomo-
tives of the Oregon Short Line crashed
together a short distance this side of
Humphrey Tuesday morning, killing
Fireman S. J. Lucas and painfully in
juring a lumber of trainmen and occu-
pants of theIpasseDger coaches. Lucas
was hurled headlong against the door
of the firebox and was buried beneath
a mass of flaming coal.
When rescued his face and head
were charred almost beyond recogni-
ton.
Engineer Erickson escaped by leap
ing thr -ugh cab window. He was
painfully cut about the hands and
arms, butt was otherwise uniDjured.
Conductor John Quinn suffered a
bruised head, and Baggageman Fritz
patrick sustained a scalp wound.
The passengers on the northbound
train escaped without injury, although
many were severely shaken up.
The engines were going double head
ers because Of the deep snow, and, ow-
ing to the fact that the water tank at
Monida was frozen, two engines left
that point for the next tank, thinking
they had the right of way. A short
distance on the double header struck
the drouble header coming in the oppo-
site direction.
The collision broke the steam pipes
of the coaches and the passengers we're
compelled to remain in their beIths to
escape the piercing cold, the tempera-
ture being 20 degrees below zero.
