In Punxcutawney, Pa, Dis
trict Will Stop Work
Until Their Grievances With
Companies Are Adjusted.
Anthracite Miners Will Have More Than
One Demand for Operators.

PunXcutaWney, Pa, Feb. Sat a
mass meeting here today Of miners en-
pioyed by the Buffalo, Rochester &
Pittsburg Coal & Iron CO., the Jeffer-
son and Cloarfield Coal & Iron Co. and
allied concerns with headquarters here,
it was decided unanimously not to go
to work again until all grievances be-
tween the men and the companies have
been adjusted. A melting was also held
at Reynoldsville where the miners of
that district voted unanimously to en-
dCrse the action taken here.
The grievances of the miners are the
same as presented at similar meetings
which were held at this place and at
ReynolGsville Nov. s, 1905. 1t was then
alleged that the Altoona scale was be-
ing violated. The miners today claimed
that the Altoona scale was being vio-
lated. The miners today claimed that
the Altoona agreement is being vio-
lated to even a greater degree than in
November and the resolution calls for
the suspension of work until a guaran-
tee is given that the Altoona agree
ment will be lived up to in every re-
spect.
noon was addressed by National Secre-
tary-Treasurer w. B. Wilson and a
committee headed by Mr.. Wilson was
appointed to call on Gen. Manager Rob-
inson. who is here and present the min
ers' grievances. When the coal COM
pany officials were notified yesterday
that work would be suspended today
in order to allow the miners to attend
the meetings. the shipment of coal over
the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg was
at once suspended.
All night operators and day opera
tors in the coal yards over the entire
area of production in the Buffalo
Rochester & Pittsburg territory have
been laid off and it is understood that
the coal will be used to operate the
pumps. keep the mines from flooding
and to supply passenger and merchan-
disc freight trains in the event of a
long strike. About 10000 miners en-
ployed in the operations in jefferson
Indiana and Clearfeld counties are af-
fected.
After the adjournment of the meet
ings the miners officers received
word from Gen. Mgr. Robinson of the
mines that he will meet them at
PunXcutawney tomorrow morning in
an effort to adjust differences and to-
night there is a hopeful feeling that
the strike will be speedily settled.

Juymen for the Verdict.

Windsor, n. S.. Feb. Feb. S.-After
hearing the evidence of the witnesses
at the inquest in the Harvie murder

to render a verdict of guilty against

the murder of Freeman Harvie in his
home, between the hours of $50 p. NJ.
on Friday last and s o'clock on the
following Saturday morning.
During the rehearsal of the in
eliminating evidence against him
Stanley sat unmoved though the eyes
OF all in the crowded court room were
constantly riveted upon him. The

exhibited to the jury and medical evil
dcnce was given showing that the head
had been severed from the body with a
saw. as the bone was cut clean across
Witnesses told of Stanley's disposal Of
the effects of the farm for onc-uuarter
of their value and in fact he never re-
fused an offer of cash for any article

"Such appearances are against you"
Stanley replied:
appearances sometimes are deceitful' -
The two Fishers, who were arrested in
connection with the crime, were discharg-
ed. Stanley has been brought back to the
Jail here to await trial.

THE BAD FEELING
Against Americans in China Is Grow.
ing Every Day.

Washington, Feb. S.-Reports con-
tinue to pour into the state department
from diplomatic and consular agents
in China regarding the rapid increase
of bad feeling toward Americans and
edicts issued by local authorities in
various parts of the empire.
For six months the situation in
China has been the subject of genuine
concern to the department, and Mr..
Rockhill, the American minister at
Pekin, is under instructions to keep
Washington thoroughly in touch with
he situation. TIe is also exerting him
self at the 81 use capital in an effort
to check or ;.,.~y he anti-American
fe cling that appears 20 be growing.
While it is not admitted that the sit
uation is one of immediate danger, the
officials here will not be surprised at
any developments a month may bring
forth.
Although at the outset demanding
only return to the provisions of the
original exclusion treaty of 1880, which
shut from this country Chinese labor
RS without specifying the class OF
cinnamon which should be admitted
nanifestos have been issued in some
provinces saying that if the boycott is
iSidly enforced America will be driven
forego any exclusion at all. Mr.
2ockhill has pointed out the falsity of
such a view.
The feeling of ill will that seems to
re growing in various parts of the en-
pire, although directed primarily
'@ainst Americans, is interpreted by
Drientalists as anti-foreign, and there
'rc indications that all foreigners,
ith the possible exception of Japanese,
ill soon be as Keenly affected as are
Americans.
Informal representations regarding
the Chinese situation already have
been exchanged between some of the
European powers, but thus far this
country has not called foreign nations
4s,to consultation because there is
hought to be general feeling among
he powers that the American govern
"'tnt unjustly discriminates against
he Chinese. AS long as the anti-for-
rign feeling is confined to Americans
he Europeans are expected to bide
heir time.

Pres. Roosevelt Not Turned Down by
Southern Army Organization.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. S.-Col. John S.
Prather commander of Camp A,
Wheelers Confederate Cavalry, has
issued a statement in denial of stories
that resolution was offered to elect
President Roosevelt an honorary men,
Der of Camp A, and that the resolu-
ton met with spirited opposition and
was voted down."
THE publication referred to is a
fragrant misrepresentation of facts"
said Col. Prather. Il presided at the
meeting and when the resolution was
offered. attention was simply called to
the fact that the bylaws of our as
sociation prohibited any honorary
members and the resolution was with
drawn. 1t was not even debated or
voted on, nor was any opposition
voiced against it

NATURE SPARES


What fortunate provision OF nature

suffering: for how poignant would be its
grief to discover. In the height Of its

were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid, In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast gloom over the lives Of thousands
of young women. but thanks to the in
